Pet Sitting Walterville

“Maddy is great! She responds promptly, communicates clearly, and quickly won over both my dogs…even the little one who has taken the longest to warm up to strangers.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. We currently have a dog, a cat and a tortoise, that love to run and play all day. I have cared for puppies all the way up to senior dogs and dogs that need special care. We would love to check on your pet, give them the love and walks and care they need while you’re away. I am off for the summer and have a flexible schedule to come check on/care for/walk your pet (any pet) while you’re away. I have 2 kids who love to help and tag along (but if that’s not possible that is ok) if that is allowed with your pet. We love to love on pets while their family is away and we would love to care for them! I am off during the summer and very flexible! I have 2 kids that do love to come and help BUT if it is not fusible with your pet we can work around it :? Currently, dogs would not be the best pet in our home. I can come to your house and check on ANY animal. We have cared for and have had part of our family reptiles, fish, cats, dogs…

“Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for helping them feel happy, safe, and cared for. I've worked at a dog daycare that practices fear-free, positive-reinforcement-based care, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’ve also worked at an animal shelter, where I cared for dogs with a wide variety of behavioral and physical needs, further strengthening my ability to meet each dog where they are and provide patient, compassionate care. I’m trained in dog first aid and am also a proud owner of a large dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your best friend. My goal is to provide every dog with the patience, attention, enrichment, and support they deserve while respecting their individual boundaries and comfort levels. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, elderly, needs extra support, or simply loves some good company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work flexible hours so I can work with you to build a schedule that works for you and your pets. I’m focused on setting up a system that works best for everyone. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to feeding routines, exercise, play, enrichment, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship and affection. I prioritize positive reinforcement, patience, and respecting each dog’s boundaries and comfort level. My goal is always for them to feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I also make sure to provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Animals have been a true passion of mine for my entire life. I have been in the Animal Care Industry for close to a decade now and have been a licensed Pet Stylist since 2015. Additionally, I had the luxury of growing up on a family farm, which provided me the opportunity to learn about the proper care & handling of a wide variety of different animal species. My soul dog passed away 5/21/25, so caring for your fur babies brings me lots of happiness and comfort. I love being able to care for and dote on them like I did for my boy 🧡 I am available every day of the week, including all holidays. Drop in visits I am available between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. I have certifications through Fear Free, A.K.C. SAFE & Pet CPR/First-Aid. I have experience handling & caring for pets that might need a lil' extra TLC due to their medical issues, fear/anxiety and reactivity.

“Justine is the best sitter ever! She does an amazing job with my two dogs by feeding, cleaning up after them! She sends me daily updates and photos of them what they are doing. I highly recommend Justine!”

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Shealea and I have over two years combined experience working with dogs. I was a handler as well as a team leader at one of Eugene's premier dog boarding facilities where I gained a plethora of knowledge and experience in all things canine related! My approach is to treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. "Dog's are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." I am a SAHM so I have a flexible schedule to meet your pet care needs! Please message me if you have any pet care needs outside of my scheduled availability. :) I treat each pet in my care as if they were part of my own family. I am attentive, knowledgeable and understand the importance having a solid line of communication with pet parents.

“Frequent updates and photo check-ins; patient with the animals and respectful of the house. Everything was as it should be when I came home, would definitely recommended Alex and book with her again”

About: Hi, I’m Becca! I have over 10 years experience in professional pet care, over 5 years experience as a veterinary assistant, and I’m a certified pet groomer. I have one dog and 6 perfectly spoiled cats. I’d be honored to care for your fur babies. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make some money while doing what I love— spending time with animals. My 10 month old baby girl is my assistant and partner in crime, so she will tag along with us on walks and check ins. As long as you don’t mind my little nugget tagging along, I’m pretty open and available to tend to your pets’ needs. I am more than happy to care for your animals in your home, take them for leashed walks, check in late nights, early mornings and in between.

“Outstanding last minute drop in, great notes and pictures of the animals, perfectly followed guidance and the animals were happier because of it. Couldn't believe we got someone when we did, so I cant thank you enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!

About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.

About: I've owned, loved, and been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, and miscellaneous farm animals. Growing up in the country and having animal based chores from a young age helped me develop a love for animals, tolerance and patience, and the capability to care for a variety of animals in a variety of settings and environments. Closely raised alongside a veterinarian uncle taught me the value and importance of animals in our lives (and occasionally even provide assistance to a him in action). I'm also quite flexible with many things. While in my care, I can walk/exercise (or be absolutely lazy with your animal). Depending on what you request, as long as it's within reason, I am open to catering to your wishes and will do what you ask of me to keep you and your pet happy! :) ie. although I marked "allowed on beds/furniture", I understand this is not for everyone. I personally love having animals near me but also understand the importance of not allowing in my home, what is not allowed in your home. Also, I have access to my family's property out in the country where I can take your dog on hikes away from the public, run freely in large fields that are fenced in at the property line, and explore the great outdoors with them for an even more special experience while you're away! Experience (in general): listed 28 years as I've closely helped family members since ~at least~ 8 yrs of age. My sitting history mostly includes requests to house/dog sit for friends and family members over the years (both in their home or in mine). The "official" dog sitting experience is less, as this is my first time creating a professional sitting profile and I am excited to start work with people outside of my circle! :) I only marked the days I am off work completely as my available dates. These are the days in which I can provide the best/full attention care. I can provide care on work days, as long as you are okay with me working around my work schedule (ie. early mornings/evenings or nights). Otherwise... Consistently, I'm off every Fri, Sat, and Sunday. Weekdays: never hurts to check! I have many weekdays off, but they vary and depend on my office's hours. I know my days off in advance and can plan accordingly. My office closes for 7-19 days at a time 4x/year (Feb, May/June, Sept, Dec). Plus, any major holidays, we are closed and I may be available. I will take necessary precautions to keep your animal safe and cared for. I have a yard with no fence and would keep them on a leash while taking them out or on walks. If while in the country on family property, as long as we both feel comfortable with it and your dog's behavior, leash wearing is whatever you prefer. I will of course put them back on if I feel the need to. Although I'm easy going, I'm also a reliable and responsible person with common sense and enough experience with my own animals to properly care for your pet. I will always do what's needed in any situation to protect your pet and keep them safe. After knowing an animal longer and understanding their behavior/tendencies, sure, I can ease up some - but will always take more precautions at first while I am still getting to know them. And again, in any case, it's whatever you are comfortable with and would like. Details can be discussed and figured out along the way. For example, if your animal gets uncomfortable in unknown places - I am more than happy to come to you and care for them in your home! If they need this medicine at this time, you've got it! If they do better when you take them for a 45 min walk and then snuggle them for an hour, sure! If you need them to eat these specific things, at these specific times, and anything else you may need - just chat it out. I'm sure we can work the details out - and if not, I'll just say no and ask that you find another sitter who may suit you and your needs better. We'll figure it out.

About: I have years of experience volunteering with all types of dogs and cats. I started volunteering at a pit bull rescue center when I was 10. I have also volunteered at the Elk Grove animal shelter with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I have always loved animals and love caring for friends and family’s pets whenever they need me. I have a lot of availability on weekends. I am a full time student at the university of Oregon and also dedicate time to a couple nonprofit organizations. So during the week I am mostly free during evening/night. I am open to caring for animals in any way I can. Whether that be feeding, brushing, play time, enrichment, walks, etc. I will care for your pets as you care for them and ensure that they get as much love and care as possible.

About: Biggest dog lover around! With 2 veterinarians in the family, pets have always been at the center of the dynamic. Your pup needs long walks? Let’s go for a stroll! Needs cuddles? Let me grab a blanket! I currently work a hybrid schedule and am home most days! My girlfriend is also a WFH schedule! We love giving your pups all the attention they need! We live in a gated community with a gated patio and fenced in dog park! Very dog friendly household and community! Our home is air-conditioned to keep our loved ones cool and comfortable!

About: Having grown up in a household with at least 2 dogs in it at all times, and usually another foster, I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes, from newfies to gsds to king charles caveliers. I’ve helped raise, train, and care for them since the time I was able and am comfortable with training, walks, play, and routine. I also volunteered at my local dog and cat shelter for four years. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they are my own! I’m currently working part time so so I have ample time to play and hangout with your fur babies. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the right care. I’m available for pet sitting on the weekends, and everyday after 2pm Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress while their parents are away. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, leaving it clean and secure after each visit. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, enrichment, and any household preferences. I’m also happy to send regular updates so parents feel confident their child is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I have so much love to give to animals, they completely fill my heart and make me happy. I have experience with older animals as well as younger. I work all days of the week. Need a vacation? Call me up and I am more than willing to come and take care of some animals. It would be the highlight of my week! I have 3 indoor dogs who go outside hourly and get fed twice a day. My dogs are friendly but must have an introduction with other dogs.

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

About: I will care for and love on your animals like they are my own. I follow their vibe, wanna play, we play, wanna walk, we walk, wanna cuddle, we cuddle ♡ easy peasy. I've been caring for others creatures for over a decade and have always enjoyed making new relationships with all of them & their owners. I work part time, so I am available to kick it with the fur-creatures pretty often! I am very flexible as is my schedule, so let's connect and make it work! I am more than happy to exist in your home with your fur-babies , where they are most comfortable (: I will keep them company and clean up after them and myself. With the intention of leaving every place I am in, better than I found it. (:
