Flexible Pet Sitting Team Member (available overnights)

ABOUT PAMPERED MOOSE:
For pet pawrents who need to get away for a few hours, a weekend, or longer, look no further than Pampered Moose for customized pet care services. We provide folks with peace of mind that their animals and property are safe and expertly cared for, giving them more time and energy to do their thing. Pampered Moose is a fully licensed and registered LLC in the State of Oregon. Pampered Moose LLC and sitters are covered by PetCare Business Insurance. All Pampered Moose sitters are certified in cat and dog first aid.

As a Fear Free pet sitting business we do our part in employing and advocating for practices that promote physical and emotional wellbeing. We are committed to learning, recognizing and responding appropriately to even subtle signs of fear, anxiety and stress in the animals for which we are caring. We will not utilize prong collars, shock or e-collars, bark collars, etc. This kind of approach can lead to a pet care scenario providing the opposite of peace of mind for humans and animals alike.

• Get paid to go on walks + play with floofs!
