About: We have been caring for our pets, as well as for friends and family for a collective of approximately 45 years. We are familiar with administering medications, senior needs, as well as pets with certain medical issues such as seizures. We treat each guest as a family member and they are given the freedom to roam all around the house and spend time with us on or off the furniture. We are retired. We have been caring for our Beloved Dexter for the passed 13.5 years until his passing in February 2026. We find it difficult to find good pet care in our area, and wanted to provide this service to our community now that we no longer have Dexter. We have the love, the time and the safe environment to give to you and your pet-Whether Cats or Dogs. We do not have a fenced yard. However, we never needed a fence as we always took Dexter out when he needed to go. (On Leash) So doing this for your pet is no problem for us, and its gets all of us off of the couch and moving. Win win. In our home, well, your pet will be free to roam all around, sleep in his bed, or ours, and make him or herself at home.
“We so appreciated the loving care that was given to Buddy while we were gone. He got lots of attention and became everyone's best buddy. We highly recommend Joseph and Renee for your dogs temporary home away from home.”

I’m punctual, trustworthy, have a reliable car and fully committed to giving your furry family member the best care possible. Hi! I’m a cheerful, outdoors-loving pet sitter with plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends.

I’m cheerful, tidy, respectful of your space, and committed to making both you and your pet feel at ease.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them has become my lifelong passion. For the past five years, I’ve run my own professional pet-care business, building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, reliability, and genuine love for their pets. At Gentle Paws Home Care, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll enjoy gentle routines, quiet walks, soft places to rest, and plenty of affection. For dogs who need a little more activity, I also offer my signature adventure walks—hour-and-a-half off-leash excursions that let your pup explore, play, and connect with nature in a balanced, mindful way. My references reflect the consistency, compassion, and professionalism I bring to every animal I care for. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I’ve learned how to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re people with their own unique personalities, and I take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I run volunteer groups at Zumwalt park and take a lot of pride in our doggy community there. In my home, pets are truly part of the family. I’m with them the entire time, so they’re never left feeling lonely. I have plenty of cozy dog beds throughout the house, and if your pup prefers, they’re always welcome to snuggle up in my bed at night. We enjoy two large walks a day (and often a third smaller evening stroll), along with snacks, games, and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged. When I provide care in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the routine and schedule you’ve set. I know how important consistency is, so I keep things as normal and comfortable as possible while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.
About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!
“Karina and her husband take great care of my pup Bentley. This is the 2nd time they boarded Bentley for a few days and he always comes home happy. Bentley has severe separation anxiety but he does great per reports. Karina is great at staying in touch and sending pictures to me, so I know he is receiving great care.”

“We entrusted our two kittys with Abby while we were gone for 10 days. During that period, Abby kept us informed of her daily drop-in visits, including photos of our elusive critters. Upon our return, we found them in great condition, and they were not mad at us for leaving them with a then "stranger." Will definitely ask Abby to care for Larry & Bella the next time the need arises.”

“Jessica was amazing with my kitty over Christmas. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and gave my kitty lots of treats, cuddles, and love.

I cannot recommend Jessica enough and will be my #1 choice when I need a sitter in the future.”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been actively engaged in dog sitting, and my dream is to establish my own dog sitting business. While I currently don’t have any pets in my apartment, as they reside with my parents in Montana, I am excited about this opportunity to dog sit, not only because of my passion for animals but also to supplement my income as a University of Oregon student athlete . I have a genuine affection for dogs, cats, and all types of animals, and if chosen, I assure you that I’ll be the best dog or cat sitter you could find. This opportunity means a lot to me, and I would be grateful if you considered me as your pet sitter. I am currently a track athlete at the university of Oregon so I am busy with practice but that is really the only thing I have to do. And I have practice Monday through Saturday but I don’t have anything on Thursdays. I ensure a comfortable environment by providing proper bedding, toys, and familiar items. Regular feeding, walks, and playtime are essential. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner regarding medications or special routines. Clean water and a safe space are priorities.

“Abby is terrific. When we reached out with short notice, she didn't just say yes, she came over first for a meet and greet to make sure our dog Jackie (and me) felt comfortable before their first walk together. That kind of thoughtfulness matters, especially with a dog who struggles with separation anxiety. Thanks, Abby!”

I have a 7 year old Golden Retriever that gets along well with other dogs, but also has a place to stay if your dog needs one-on-one attention.

I need more time before I go down that road again, but in the meantime, I will happily love your dog (or cat, or parrot, or lizard, or...?) as if s/he were my own. I have a special fondness for seniors and special needs, but I’m game for anything. And, who doesn’t like puppies and an in-the-prime-of-lifer?? Ornery, shy, suspicious, or complicated personalities happily embraced. I am patient and sensitive to the fact that some animals need lots of closeness and reassurance while others need their space. I’m willing to work to earn their trust and set appropriate boundaries to earn yours. The pet and owner and I will work together to set the terms of our relationship, and I promise to be a most excellent guardian catering to each individual’s needs. My most consistent regular obligation is a daily trip to the barn to take care of my horse, but if needed, I have alternate coverage. I try to keep my presence low profile while I’m there. I appreciate the trust that comes with visiting in someone else’s home. When you come home, it’s nice for everyone if you can barely tell I was there.
About: Throughout my life, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been actively engaged in dog sitting, and my dream is to establish my own dog sitting business. While I currently don’t have any pets in my apartment, as they reside with my parents in Montana, I am excited about this opportunity to dog sit, not only because of my passion for animals but also to supplement my income as a University of Oregon student athlete . I have a genuine affection for dogs, cats, and all types of animals, and if chosen, I assure you that I’ll be the best dog or cat sitter you could find. This opportunity means a lot to me, and I would be grateful if you considered me as your pet sitter. I am currently a track athlete at the university of Oregon so I am busy with practice but that is really the only thing I have to do. And I have practice Monday through Saturday but I don’t have anything on Thursdays. I ensure a comfortable environment by providing proper bedding, toys, and familiar items. Regular feeding, walks, and playtime are essential. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner regarding medications or special routines. Clean water and a safe space are priorities.

My house is locked when I am home for my safety as well as my children's and your animals.

“We needed a place for our dog to stay while we took a charter fishing trip out of Florence, OR. Rene’ kept him overnight and gave him one on one attention all day while we fished. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands. When we picked him up we could tell he had been well taken care of.”
About: We have been caring for our pets, as well as for friends and family for a collective of approximately 45 years. We are familiar with administering medications, senior needs, as well as pets with certain medical issues such as seizures. We treat each guest as a family member and they are given the freedom to roam all around the house and spend time with us on or off the furniture. We are retired. We have been caring for our Beloved Dexter for the passed 13.5 years until his passing in February 2026. We find it difficult to find good pet care in our area, and wanted to provide this service to our community now that we no longer have Dexter. We have the love, the time and the safe environment to give to you and your pet-Whether Cats or Dogs. We do not have a fenced yard. However, we never needed a fence as we always took Dexter out when he needed to go. (On Leash) So doing this for your pet is no problem for us, and its gets all of us off of the couch and moving. Win win. In our home, well, your pet will be free to roam all around, sleep in his bed, or ours, and make him or herself at home.
“We so appreciated the loving care that was given to Buddy while we were gone. He got lots of attention and became everyone's best buddy. We highly recommend Joseph and Renee for your dogs temporary home away from home.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them has become my lifelong passion. For the past five years, I’ve run my own professional pet-care business, building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, reliability, and genuine love for their pets. At Gentle Paws Home Care, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll enjoy gentle routines, quiet walks, soft places to rest, and plenty of affection. For dogs who need a little more activity, I also offer my signature adventure walks—hour-and-a-half off-leash excursions that let your pup explore, play, and connect with nature in a balanced, mindful way. My references reflect the consistency, compassion, and professionalism I bring to every animal I care for. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I’ve learned how to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re people with their own unique personalities, and I take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I run volunteer groups at Zumwalt park and take a lot of pride in our doggy community there. In my home, pets are truly part of the family. I’m with them the entire time, so they’re never left feeling lonely. I have plenty of cozy dog beds throughout the house, and if your pup prefers, they’re always welcome to snuggle up in my bed at night. We enjoy two large walks a day (and often a third smaller evening stroll), along with snacks, games, and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged. When I provide care in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the routine and schedule you’ve set. I know how important consistency is, so I keep things as normal and comfortable as possible while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.
About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!
“Karina and her husband take great care of my pup Bentley. This is the 2nd time they boarded Bentley for a few days and he always comes home happy. Bentley has severe separation anxiety but he does great per reports. Karina is great at staying in touch and sending pictures to me, so I know he is receiving great care.”
