Personalized care for your dog or cat - La Grande

“Lizzie does a great job with my special needs pitbull. She was able to accommodate her so that everyone felt comfortable. When my plans changed she went above and beyond to get Taya back to me. This is the only place I leave Taya!”

“I have a large Labrador puppy seven months old. She took very good care of him and having a three-year-old dog was great because they played a lot out in the yard. My lab got exposed to kittens and a small puppy. Was a very good experience for him.”

“Marcus did a great job in a less than ideal situation. We (me and 5 cats) had just moved to the area one week before I had to leave for a week. Just uprooted from the only home they'd ever known, no routine, boxes everywhere, confined to one room and a stranger coming in to feed them! Marcus did great. Stayed in touch and kept me informed the whole time. Had great suggestions when we had one little hiccup, and kept everybody safe, loved (as much as they'd let him) and fed. They'll be all over him next time!”

“Liz was great checking in on our 1YO cats. She sent pics/vid each day to ease our minds and was willing to check in with us with questions. Will happily ask Liz to sit again on our next outing.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and cared for dogs on my own for the past 10 years. I’ve had mainly border collies or a mixed breed. My fiancé and I currently own a border mix and German Shepard mix. My German has Addisons disease and I’ve learned skills caring for a more medically complex dog. I have experience with oral and injectable medications. I’ve also invested months into training my border mix Roo who is trained with an e-collar and loves it! I have multiple friends and family that have trusted me with their dogs care while they go to work or for vacations. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and many breeds including German Shepard, Labrador, Corgi, Chihuahua, and Herding breeds. I am active and would love a walk, hike, or running buddy depending on your pets needs. If you’d like them to socialize I’d be happy to help by bringing one of mine along for a meet and greet. I’m currently working a stay at home mom who works from home very part-time, so I’ll be home Fridays to Mondays for drop in visits and walks. If you need a weekday I’m not usually available please let me know and I may be able to accommodate depending on the week. I’m very detail oriented, and happy to accommodate to your pet and home needs. I pride myself on keeping my home tidy even with 3 dogs at home. I would always treat your pets and home like my own!

“She was fantastic! Was super willing and accommodating. Grateful to have her care for my cat. Thank you so much Deepika.”

About: I have 3 cats that I love. I don’t have a problem cleaning litter boxes. I will give my time and love to your pet!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been the one to take care of them as the only man in the house along with my mom and sisters. I have dealt with St. Bernard’s, to aussies, cats, kittens, labs, terriers, you name it. I love to do things for others, and my love for animals has always been apart of me since I was little. I am really good with following any specific instructions as my childhood dog is getting old and I know the importance of getting them their supplements to live as long as we can get our furry friends to! I currently am enrolled at EOU and also playing football. During the week, I am free at 3:00 for the rest of the day, but have short breaks in the late morning as well before 12:15 if I needed to do anything. Weekends are typically busy, but with a week or so notice to book, I’d be happy to service a house if needed! I only offer servicing at clients’ homes because I am a bunch of roommates for college. However, I have house sat multiple times and believe I am very responsible and trustworthy of any requests or rules for my clients’ homes. I understand this is a job, and will follow any instructions my client’s will put in place!

About: I believe pets are happiest and safest in their own familiar environment. My goal with every visit is to keep routines steady, stress low, and care gentle and consistent. In addition to lifelong pet experience, I worked for a year at a professional dog daycare and pet hotel, where I cared for cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. That hands-on experience taught me how to maintain calm environments, monitor subtle changes in behavior or appetite, administer medications when needed, and prioritize safety in every situation. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or high-energy, I adapt to their individual needs while keeping their environment calm and secure. Because your pets deserve comfort, consistency, and care that comes from the heart, right where they feel safest.

About: I got my first cat at age seven and never looked back! I have cat sitter for neighbors before with cats of different temperaments and have two cats of my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and shapes including puppies and senior dogs. This app has a strong emphasis on dogs, which is no problem but I'd like to mention cats too. For everything I mention about dogs it applies to cats too. I've had dogs, I have 2 cats, I have 6 chickens and I've taken care of a whole gambit of creatures like fish and birds. I just like hanging out with animals, I watch my neighbors and brothers dogs often. I do a lot of outdoor work for my main profession so I can take dogs on plenty of walks if needed. I know when to keep an eye out for overheating and dehydration. I am great at following directions and learning watch out signs for other medical issues that are brought to my attention beforehand. No dog is too picky for what their challenges are for food, medication or rituals they need to be healthy and comfortable. That being said... dogs that are aggressive towards people and/or other dogs will be case by case and isn't an automatic no but I reserve the right to decline service if I don't feel I can safely handle them. I have a full time job that has a consistent weekday schedule that leaves my weekends open. Right now I am open all day, all hours for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will take care of your pet however you like, and I'll make sure I fully understand all levels of care needed for you pet. If they know commands, I'll use the ones you use to further reinforce what you've been teaching them. If you feed them raw foods, fresh foods, frozen or kibble it's no problem. If they need fresh water changed throughout out the day, it's done. There really isn't anything I'm averse to doing to ensure your pet is taken care of.

About: I have had dogs and other pets since I was 3 years old. My first dog was a Rottweiler and I currently have collies with several different breeds in between. I have always had at least 2 pets in my home at any time in my life currently 5. Ranging from dogs/cats, to hamsters, lizards, and fish. I really enjoy all types of animals, both domesticated and in the wild. Some of the best “people” I’ve met are dogs ;) You are able to learn so much from watching your animals, especially compassion. I will take care of your pets like they are part of the family. Make sure they are “properly” fed, loved and walked while they are in my care. I think it’s very important to our pets that they are given attention while their parents are gone so they don’t get lonely. Any special requests or questions, please ask. Than you!!! I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I am happy to help take care of your pets when YOU need it on your schedule. I believe the first step to caring for pets is compassion and not for a better word love… I think dogs are amazing and we should try and understand them along with how and why they do things. I spend time every day petting and giving them attention.

“My pup Norah had a wonderful day with Liz while I was traveling for work. My work travel came up last minute and Liz was flexible in accommodating us. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of my mother's dog for several years with her, a little Jack Russell mix named Manda, several other dogs for family and friends alike, and have taken care of cats for an even longer period of time. I just like being in their company and listening to their needs. I want to be a friend and a supporting hand if you have to leave the house and aren't able to take them with you or care for them. I know that struggle intimately, as I've lost my own pet due to moving circumstances, disallowing me from seeing and caring for him. I don't want others to go through that. I'm currently part time, but my schedule is exceedingly flexible enough that I'm able to take any requests at various times of day. I'm also available during the weekends whenever I might be needed. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions, and I won't hesitate to do the same to make sure I get what you need done. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your animals as close to the letter as possible! Your animals will be treated with respect and care, alongside whatever supervision and protection I am able to provide. I will check in whenever I have questions or notice odd behaviors, and make sure to respond to you in a timely manner whenever you may wish to check in!

About: We've included pre-loved dogs in our family since I was in elementary school. Since then, I've bonded with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it's been fun getting to know everyone's unique personalities. I have a particular passion for senior pets, and am comfortable addressing such needs as injury/arthritis care, medications, and incontinence. I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. I currently live in an apartment, and would need to come to your home for pet care duties. I'm happy to accommodate basic housekeeping and other chores such as gathering mail or running other errands in the booking (additional rate may apply.) I work during the day, and am therefore not able to provide constant care (24/7 supervision) during the work week. I am open to discussing constant care in your home for a Saturday and/or Sunday booking; however, please know that due to the increased amount of planning and preparation this entails, I will likely not be able to accept a short-notice constant care request, and the service rate will be higher depending on the level of care/supervision needed. Thank you for understanding. 🙂 If you live outside the La Grande/Island City area, there will be an additional flat fee added to the total cost of the stay to cover fuel expenses. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding crating/confining your pet during "away" time. If you have a fenced yard, I'm always down for a game of fetch with your best buddy!

About: I've taken care of and have walked dogs my entire life. My family has always had 1-3 dogs in the house, and I have always taken them on walks/runs through Sandy Springs Park. I love to run so I would be more than happy to run your dogs if that is what best gets their energy out :) I also go for long walks so I can walk them anywhere between 1-8 miles per walk. I currently have a very flexible work schedule so I can walk most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have more availability on weekends, but availability shouldn't be a problem on weekdays. I used to volunteer at the animal shelter in my hometown and have been a pet sitter since middle school so I have walked lots of different sized dogs in my experience. I have walked/ran many dogs with no issue :)

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals/pets. I can clean litter boxes and pick up poo with the best of them. I love to go on walks and scratches and pets are my favorite. I drive school bus, so I have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I take the summer off and should have lots of free time. I have a dog door and a fenced yard. I have 8 chickens and 3 cats and 2 rats and 1 doghtor. We are animal friendly. The cats will stay mostly hidden but one will come out and visit.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and cats in my life. I take the time to research each individual animal to make sure the animal is receiving the proper care they deserve. I absolutely love LOVE animals and hope to have more of my own soon. I have a tabby cat named Artemis who is very very good with any animal that is willing to play with him as well. I recently just rescued another tortoiseshell tabby cat named Frieda who is sassy but very sweet. My husband and I have also foster four kittens a few summers ago and ended up raising to most loving group of kittens. We also ended up with another rescue kitten this last July. She was a stray hiding in our bushes. We welcomed her into our home, gave her lots of love and care and found her a sweet forever home. We had so much fun and have so much love to give. I’m currently not working at the moment so I have a lot of free time. My routine varies from day to day but at the moment I’m studying for grad school and can make any time work. I am currently renting a house that is semi fenced. My house is one floor with window AC units! I’m a very clean very and keep my area very clean. I will definitely respect your space and make sure to treat it how I’d want my home treated.

About: I was born and raised on a farm and have been around cattle, horses, dogs my whole life. I know how to take care of animals and as well take care of any extra needs they may need like wound care. I have watched dogs for a professional MLB player back in my hometown and my boyfriend that I live with has worked at a kennel for three years! I am a college athlete so I have practice that are two hours long but my boy friend is home then! Your animal will always be in good hands:) I have 3 dogs at home back in WA and they are my babies. They are very spoiled and are loved every day. Food, bathing, clean water and exercise are all important.

About: I got my first cat at age seven and haven't looked back! My family has five dogs of many sizes and temperaments. Professionally, I worked in the past at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I am a full time college student. Weekends are the most available and evenings. I do have a little bit of time in the mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around and play. I have two siblings who would also love to play with your fur babies!
