Pet Sitting Whitaker

“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”

“You are such a lifesaver! You come through in every urgent need I have. There have been some crazy moments I’ve had to call on you and so appreciate the last minute booking. Thank you so much. I appreciate you and so does Zeus!”

About: Hello! Animals are my passion and have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up taking care of a working ranch and was riding before I could walk. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, horses, and livestock animals as well as some exotic animals. Through school, I did a lot of pet sitting regularly for neighbors and friends around the valley so I am familiar with caring for pets who require special care. When I got into college, I went to school for veterinary medicine but due to life circumstances, I had to begin pursuing another career. Now, I am working as a dog trainer with a good understanding of animals and some veterinary knowledge to help along the way. If you ever need help with dog training, just ask! While I am caring for your pet(s), I will play with them, take dogs on walks as the weather allows, and make sure your pets feel loved while their parents are away. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible and look forward to meeting you soon! I currently work evenings and my partners work mornings so one of us will always be available to stay with your critters. I am very flexible and organized so any pets we watch blends right into our routine like they're our own. I am willing to work with you to make sure your pet can stay on the routine they are used to and feel loved while they are away from you to help limit their stress. I, with your permission, will provide daily walks for dogs, exercise, and entertainment. I have experience with animals that require special care and I am familiar with giving them medication. I will play with cats and can teach tricks to both cats and dogs. I will use any treats and toys provided to avoid any possible allergic reactions and your pets will be treated like a part of our family when in my care.

“Dakota did drop in visits for my two cats. She did a great job taking care of them and making sure they had everything they needed. I appreciate all she did.”

About: I absolutely love animals — more than people, and will be gentle and caring with yours as if they were my own. I haven't exactly been a “pet-sitter” before but I will be flexible to any animal needs. I prefer caring for cats or other critters, but I am willing to work with dogs too. I am available almost all the time, but I am disabled, so flexibility and understanding is deeply appreciated. A talk/meet before booking with me would be great. I’m currently unemployed and disabled, so it’s hard for me to find a “real” job that doesn’t include physical labor. I believe pet sitting would be perfect for me. I am flexible and willing to obey any rules you set and fulfill your pets every need. I care for animals as professionally as I can, with patience and providing the healthiest lifestyle possible for them.

“Alyssa went above and beyond what we asked her to do. She was flexible and accommodating. She was available on short notice, wonderful with our pets and respectful of our home. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of care for their animals.”

About: We are a duo who help others with their pets! My name is Desiree, and my partner’s name is Tyler. We are adventurous! Often, we fill our free time with hikes, walks around cities, and exploring parks. We would love to take your dogs on these walks too!  I grew up around animals—anything from rabbits, mice, cats, and dogs to some exotics like raccoons. As a kid, I would rehabilitate animals like deer or wild rabbits. I feel we need to look out for our little friends, as the world is hard for everyone. Being kind is important to me. I have experience with basic dog training, teaching good leash behavior, and giving extra care to older dogs! I'm comfortable with giving medicine, or going the extra mile to help upkeep their health, may it be brushing teeth, giving baths, or grooming. Our goal is to provide the best, and perfect routine for your pets while you're away that would match closely to what you would do in your daily life to assure max comfort for your animals. We currently go to school online, so we are very flexible with our time and since two of us are on duty, we can always give attention! We mainly care for them in your home, and this is very flexible to how you would want them cared for. We love to follow exact instructions, or approximate instructions. Whichever you want to provide. We want your trip away from home to be stress free, and confident your pet is getting treated with the utmost care and love.

About: With over six years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs, cats, and even small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing special care for senior pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to give your pet the love, attention, and comfort they deserve while you're away. As a part-time nursing student and mom of two, I’ve learned how to balance a busy schedule with care and attention to detail. qualities that I also bring to pet care. I work relief shifts as a behavioral health support specialist, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time during the day and weekends to dedicate to animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring is what I do, whether it’s my own kids or someone’s beloved pet, I’m fully committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax! I live in a duplex with a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my space or at a client’s home, I follow their usual routines closely; including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love to spend time/care for them! I love walking and being outside which is the perfect combo for a happy dog. I am flexible with what your pet needs, and am comfortable with giving oral or IM medications, special needs, and generally any dog. I have experience working as a vet receptionist as well as a vet assistant for both large and small animal. I have spent much of my life with horses, dogs and even some variety of small exotic animals. I am knowledgeable about basic dog body language and training making it easy for me to handle most canines! I live in a dog friendly house with indoor areas for dogs to play, including a VERY large fully fenced back yard. Additionally, I have my own car so I can get to wherever you and your dog need me to be. I also live near amazing parks and dog parks that give me great options for exercise and activity outside of my home. I’m looking forward to providing your pet a home away from home! I am currently in college and working part-time, so would love to spend my time walking dogs. I am very active and love to walk, hike, run, and much more! I have a lot of veterinary experience so medical needs are easy to take care of. Otherwise, I am always able to be present and play with the dogs. I am an avid reader as well, so am happy to just cuddle if that's what the dog wants!

“McKayla is amazing. She took care of my dogs like they were her own, I’ll definitely be asking her to care for Zeus and Philip next time I need a walker.”

About: Important info: for house-sitting, i bring my small senior dog with me to each booking, as long as you are comfortable, and we do an i initial meet and greet for your pets to be around him. For drop-in care, he does not need to be there. Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 6 years old, I have had experience pet sitting and entertaining animals. Neighbors have come to me for dog sitting in the past. I’m coming home from college on June 11th and don’t currently have anything lined up, so I am available to petsit anytime during this summer! I have a full family in the house so services would only be external. I have lots of experience taking care of dogs, walking them, feeding them, and entertaining them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade. I have experiencing administering medication as my family dog was diabetic, as well as medications for client’s pets as well. As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!

“5+ stars. Allison was wonderful with my little shy guy! Would definitely request Allison again!!”

“Hannah is such a punctual, professional, and thoughtful dog sitter! We feel great knowing our two dogs are well cared for while we’re away.”

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

“Erin was so helpful and exactly what my cat, Jared needed for a pet sitter! Erin’s attention to my pet’s needs and love for animals really shows! 100% will book Erin again, and I recommend Erin to anyone needing a pet sitter!……unless it conflicts with my bookings, ha ha. 😺”

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.

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!
