About: Hi there, I have worked at a sanctuary, a local dog rescue and a specialty vet clinic. I have many years of experience handling various breeds, in a variety of environments. I am looking forward to helping you by offering my assistance to this beautiful little community. I love kitties and dogs equally and would love to meet yours! I am earning my degree online so I have time during the day or evening to check in on your pet. Im available on weekends as well. Safety is my first priority for your pet and myself. I do prefer to crate pets when I travel with them. I have a few different size crates to take in my car to keep your pup safe if we go to a nearby park or trail. Please let me know your pet parent style and I will be happy to accommodate.

“Sahara has been so helpful to me by being available and flexible to walk my dog, Howard, as I start and settle into a new job. He is a big dog and isn’t the easiest to handle since he can be energetic and sometimes leash reactive, but Sahara has done a great job with him! He always takes a big afternoon nap after she’s done walking him, and it’s one less thing for me to worry about. I highly recommend Sahara!”

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love animals! I started house sitting dogs about 10 years ago in Oregon. Nova is a golden retriever and she is a pretty low key and very good with all dogs, cats and children. I have experience with both rescue dogs and anxiety ridden dogs. I love to be outdoors so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise at a place of your comfort! I am excited to care for your pet for you :) I currently work a part time job and have flexibility for most days and times of the week. I have a little girl that does most everything with me and understand if arrangements need to be made to accomodate your pet’s comfortability around children. Just let me know. :) I have a fully fenced yard and our sweet Nova (golden retriever) to keep your pet entertained and engaged. We have a pretty laid back style in the home with dogs allowed on couches and beds. They have an abundance of dog beds in a few rooms too if that is more your preference.

About: Looking for more reviews? Check out Trusted House Sitters and search for my profile. I care for all living beings, but dogs are my go to when it comes to spending time and feeling at home in a world I choose. I've trained many breeds over the years and have heard various techniques. The older I've gotten the more formal the training I've received. All of which has been positive reinforcement training. I once went through a program that taught me how to train my own service animal. The techniques are very similar to the way I was during my early years when classes were not on my radar. My dog would simply go everywhere with me and learned how to behave in each setting without much effort at all. With the more formal training in recent years the fun part I find is desensitizing, shaping, training while playing, and having a great friend with me at all times. I do not claim to have had a ton of success reversing already spun habits. It's important to start pups young in many cases, though there are also many dogs that are easy going enough they can pick this up in no time. Whether you have a pet for the the home, all kinds, I will care for them as you do and I'll send you on your carefree way with full confidence. Boarding dogs at my house is limited to easy to manage temperaments and activity levels do to the fact our home is very small with hard wood and we have no fenced yard. My husband and I are both retired. I've recently lost my elder Irish Setter who spent most all his time with us. Now I have a Mini Poodle pup who's being trained to fill some pretty big shoes. So far it's smooth sailing! When going into others homes I simply follow their daily routines and instructions. My time is devoured to the animals. I rarely have things that would require me to shift focus. While at our house I make sure needs are met first, set the tone with rules of the house and have plenty of interactions with them through out the day. We take frequent walks and set up play time in the garage. I love the elders and yet can't pass up a puppy. I've not sat for cats in my home and would not feel comfortable doing so unless the owner knows something I don't know regarding their outings.

About: I’ve always had dogs around since I was a little kid & I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t like! I have a lot of free time and have spent much time dropping in on friends’ and family’s animals during work-hours for playtime, walks, potty breaks, playdates with my pooch, etc. I am a self-employed musician with usually way too much free time while others have to be at work- help me fill my schedule with walks, potty breaks, and playtime while you work, and housesitting when you travel! :) My current dog is a Dane-Lab mix with a ton of personality who is very social and could be requested for play dates. Having said this I am not intimidated by large breeds with puppy energy, I’ve seen it all! And I know how important proper situational control and planning is in ensuring dogs are safe and comfortable.

About: It’s been rough - three rainbow bridge trips in short order. 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: 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.

“Jared took very good care of my Panini. She was very happy to have a walk during the middle of the day. Jared was friendly and responsive. Definitely will use him again for other services.”

About: I am an animal lover with many years of experience with cat and dog care. I have had rescue dogs and dealt with difficult breeds, large and small. I am comfortable with any animal with any temperament. I have experience with gentle training techniques and can support you in any effort regarding your animal's behavior if needed. I am always concerned with the utmost care of an animal and their safety and experience. I know every dog or cat is unique and have their own needs and am happy to accommodate them and you both feel safe and confident while your animal is in my care. I can provide excellent care to any animal. I have experience with whole food diets, and I can even do acupressure!

About: I am a college student who hikes multiple times per week, and I would love to bring your dog along with me! I have been dog and cat sitting since I was 13, including pets with special needs and those needing medication. I also have experience with overnight stays. I truly love animals of all kinds, and I’m excited to welcome some furry friends back into my life while giving them the care, structure, and attention they deserve. I’m a college student with plenty of time built into my weekly routine for pet care. I’m available most mornings and afternoons, and I’m flexible with scheduling so I can work around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet thrives on a consistent routine or needs a little extra attention during the day, I’m happy to make it work. I care for pets in the comfort of their own homes so they can stay in familiar surroundings and routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always follow your instructions closely. For overnight stays, I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep the home tidy, always leaving things cleaner than I found them. My goal is to make your time away as stress‑free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.

“Congxiao (Jennifer) and her daughter (Samantha) took care of our two small dogs over a long weekend and did an amazing job! I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them for both care and dog walking.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals from the time I could walk. I was raised on a farm so I have extensive experience! Friends and family have requested me and suggested me to their acquaintances so I’ve had a large genre of animals I have cared for. I am in and out of town this summer so I am using this as my job whenever I am home! I am open any time and any day that I am in town and can accommodate to anyones busy schedule! In clients home, I play and love their animals. Walks, snuggles, belly rubs, play time, and attention is offered at an endless amount. Honestly, I want to pick up where y’all have left off, to make your pets as comfortable and loved as they are when their own family is home!

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.

About: I have had dogs of varied sizes, temperaments, and ages throughout my life from pug/shitzus, to chow chows, to Goldens, and have loved them all. I am currently working part-time from home, so my availability to watch and care for dogs is very flexible and abundant. Including weekends and most holidays. My home is close to town country living. I am on 6 acres with very large fenced fields and a peaceful road to walk and wooded trails to explore close by. 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.

About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!
