House Sitting in Westfir

About: Their fur babies will be treated just like they’re part of my fur family. I will follow any special requests that we work out. Plus I worked with a dog rescue so I have access to tons of information if I need to receive new knowledge on something. I live in Oakridge so I also have access to local hiking trails and have a decent knowledge of local water areas that are safe and wonderful for pups of all ages and sizes to enjoy. Their fur child will have plenty of one on one attention from me, they will not feel left out or unloved. I will keep you in the know if your fur baby is behaving ill. I’ll even take plenty of pictures of them enjoying their time and share them with you. I am currently on temporary disability due to surgery. I just had so I’m unavailable at this time but once I have been released to do light stuff around the home, I will be able to take on some clients again. If there’s any safety concerns, we can discuss what they are and what we can do to address them. We are currently trying to save up to get our fence redone to ensure that there are no issues with your baby getting loose.

About: *Owner of Totally Pawsome Pet Care* I Always loved taking care of dogs and animals in general. If friends or neighbors dogs, I just always loved to spend time with them. I moved here from Germany in 2013, to be able to do more with dogs and start my own business one day. I worked at several different boarding facilities and learned about all the do's and don'ts of the business and learned put of other people's mistakes. Also being a fog trainer and experiences in reafing dog behavior and body language, I know how to avoid and solve bad situations befor they happen. I also offer pick up and drop of services additionally to the walking services, so you don't have to worry about bringing your dog to the groomer or vet when you are buddy! I can guarantee, that when you choose me, your precious baby will be in the best hands and will be best taken care of! I only work a few days of the week, so I have extra time to take care of other people's pets. I love working with animals. I also train and groom animals. Safety is always my #1 priority when walking and watching animals. I always have extra leashes, collars, treats and other emergency tools, for just in case.

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.

“Cassandra house sat for our two dogs in our home while we took a weekend trip. She took great care of them and even stayed at home with them the whole weekend which was great for Black Jack’s separation anxiety. She sent photos and updates and followed all of our instructions to a T, including brushing the dog’s teeth. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We would happily use Cassandra’s services again!”

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.

“Linda was SO great with oak! She provided him with lots of enrichment games and kept me updated the whole time and did a great job keeping up with his complicated meds schedule and making sure his bandage from surgery stayed on and was kept clean.”

“Grateful for Jules’ attention and care for our golden! She figured out his unique personality and habits and he was happy to have company at home.”

“One of the best dog sitters! She was so attentive to our pup, great communication, and our house was in perfect shape when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”

“Lily did a great job taking care of our dog, Watson and our kitty, Holmes. She kept us up to date each day and sent us photos of our sweet fur babies. We left a very detailed (i.e., long) list of our needy, routine-oriented pets' peculiarities and she followed it perfectly. Everything was exactly like we left it. Thanks, Lily for helping us out--we were nervous using Rover for the first time, but you made it so easy.”

About: I have grown up around dogs all my life, with that my family has also boarded some of our family friends pets. I have always had 2+ dogs in my house (different breeds as well) and am use to being around dogs as well. I am very consistent with walks/bathroom breaks and feeding time. Currently, at my house in Austin I have a rescue mutt and 2 giant English mastiffs (both over 200lbs each) but have also had very small dogs such as shitzus too. I am vegan and have so much love for animals!! Would love to help you out in any way and make more dog friends :) I am about to graduate in June and have open availability while I am here for the summer!! I do not plan on getting a job while I am here until August so can work around your schedule! I also have a car as well that I can have dogs in I love animals, especially dogs! I make sure that I listen to the owner and I follow directions/ advice very well. I also love to walk (or run if your dog is into that) and can do that multiple times a day!! I really want to make sure that it’s not only a peaceful time for you but also for your furry lover one too!

“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”

“Jared did a fantastic job watching my dog Bowie for a week over Thanksgiving. He was super easy to communicate with and sent some amazing photos of their time together. I have a german shepherd chow chow mix who can take some time getting used to new people and from the first time Jared approached Bowie I felt comforted. Jared clearly knows how to be around dogs and Bowie liked him immediately, which is rare for my pup. I highly recommend him!”

About: I've raised my own dogs, cared for many friends animals, have a genuine respect for canines, and I couldn't think of a greater way to spend my time. I work from home, on my own schedule. I've recently lost a dog, and caring for others animals seems like a great way to meet my needs while helping in ways that make me happy I care for them very nicely. Open to hearing from pet owners whatever quirks or things I need to know, I'm all ears! I'm new to the service so I'm open to whatever your pet needs!

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.

“Maggie is an excellent pet sitter who genuinely cares for animals! Our pets loved her and she made us feel comfortable by sending updates and pics while we were away. Maggie communicates well and with clarity. She is reliable and professional. It is a gift to be able to go away and know that your fur babies are in great hands. We will definitely call on Maggie again!”

“Courtney was great with my puppy, Luna. Luna liked her the moment she met her and was sad to see her go. I am appreciative of the care she took of Luna and my home and grateful for her service.”

“We are 100% pleased/satisfied with Megan’s care of Dude. He weighs 100 lbs and will jump on people and get mouthy when he meets some people. He eventually calms down, but depending upon the person it can take awhile. Megan quickly got him under control. She was loving and was able to get him follow her commands. She happily came to meet him before her stay with him and easily walked him. We were very comfortable with him in her care. In addition she is a wonderful human being who is actively involved in her community. I enjoyed meeting and talking with her.”

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 grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. Recently graduated with a bachelors degree as well as running a creative art business from home, I create lots of time in my days to be on call for you and your pet(s)! Home for me is located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland, so I can provide more care across cities. For me, pet care is fulfilling and provides normalcy to my days. Whether it is my roommates 2 tuxedo cats with opposite personalities, my best friends cats, family, friends' dogs, neighbors, or somebody I just met in need of pet care, I am there! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Your fur baby's safety and well-being is my top priority. I strive to ensure clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their loved ones in my hands. Please make sure you inform me of any bad/unwanted (or good!) habits your pet may have so I can provide the best care I can. I enjoy sending pictures and video updates of pets to owners throughout the day- feel free to ask for more (or less!) I do not offer my home for boarding. While in your home, whether it be drop-ins or stay-ins, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness and privacy of your space and neighbors. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly.
