Pet Sitting West University

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Hayden continues to be such an amazing cat-sitter that it blows my mind. I had a very short notice visit I needed taken care of (next day), and she reached back out to me within the hour and we worked something out. I always appreciate how communicative she is, and how flexible she's willing to be, not to mention what a phenomenal job she does with the cats. This isn't the first 5-star review I've left for her, and it certainly won't be the last!”

“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”

“Erin was absolutely incredible! She took the time to write fun, thoughtful summaries of each visit and always included plenty of photos. It was such a relief coming home after a long, stressful day of travel to full food and water bowls and clean, freshly tended litter boxes. Since we’re new to the area, we’ve been dabbling in different cat sitters, and we feel so lucky to have finally found the perfect fit. Your pets will be in great hands with Erin!”

“Kendra took great care of our 3 boys (cats.) She was communicative and shared photos with us during her visit. She was a great help to make sure our boys got wet food, some company, and a clean litter while we were away. Thanks, Kendra! Would rebook and recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet cat care!”

“Kezia was the best Rover we’ve ever had! Took great pictures and left in depth blurbs about what our cats were up to. We really appreciated all the attention she gave.”

“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”

Madeline S.

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting with the two German Shepards (Satori and Jazzy) my parents had when I was born all the way up to my two cats (Lady and Tigerlily) and dog (Clyde) who bring me joy and purpose every day. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and goats, learning to care, appreciate and work with animals from a young age. I’ve been professionally pet and house sitting for 4 years now and have loved every second of it. I work part time doing data analytics remote work. I set my own schedule and I will always prioritize you, your pets and your home. I care for my own and my clients’ pets through keeping them company, making sure their physical, mental and medical needs are met and by keeping them to their routines. I lead with compassion, empathy and responsibility.

About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

“Mia was very sweet and kind with our babies! And she was very attentive to their needs as well as loving on them, which is so reassuring while leaving them! She followed instructions perfectly and kept us in the loop with great communication”

“Guadalupe was very responsive and timely in her communication. Max seemed comfortable with her, and I received many sweet pictures of Max getting hugs.”

“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”

“Karina was AMAZING with my kitty Nuke! Nuke is a bit of an oddball, and even though she’s friendly, I’m always a bit nervous about booking a sitter. Karina asked so many questions at our meet and greet, really took the care to learn everything there was to know, and made me feel confident that I was leaving my baby in good hands. Great communication, super detailed daily reports, and so many photo updates too:) I truly cannot recommend Karina enough!! She really went above and beyond, and I could tell that she cared for my Nukie as if she was her own. I came home to a safe and happy cat:) She’ll definitely be my first choice for future Nuke-sitting!”

About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 (21 now) however not all the families had pets but, it always made my night when I also got the opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I started focusing on animal care / house sitting more as I got older. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and have a heck of a lot of free time on my schedule! I can make most any times of the day work. Unfortunately I cannot offer care in my home however I am happy to drive to your home most any time of day when help may be needed!

“Caitlin goes beyond expectations. This is the 2nd time I hire her to check in on my cat and I'm very happy with her professionalism. Her visit photos and notes are lovely and they give me peace of mind that my cat is doing well.”
