Natalie does a great job looking after my 2 senior kitties when I'm out of town for monthly work trips! She follows care directions perfectly and is prompt in her communications

Kayla did a great job caring for my four cats while I was away! Will definitely book her again as she was professional, attentive to the cats needs/routines, and provided me timely updates.

Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!

Courtney was amazing with our two cats, Gus and Leo, while we were away for the holidays! She followed all our instructions, spent time playing with them, and kept us updated with photos along the way. Even our super shy cat warmed up to her, which says everything about how comfortable she made them feel. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely book her again!

Alyssa was incredible! We had to leave the state for an interview about 24 hours after my cat had a dental cleaning-and inadvertently 7 teeth pulled. I felt horrible leaving Alyssa to deal with medication and a post anesthesia kitty, Alyssa did an amazing job of making me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. She was quick to ask questions, send pictures and updates. I am so grateful Alyssa was available and capable of handling my littlest fur creature. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍

About: Owner of English Lab for 5.5 years and she is my World. Got her at 3 months. Life Changer. She makes everyone around her (me included) feel like the most important person in the World. I also grew up with an American Lab which I cared and loved for, for 13yrs. My family got her when she was just a puppy at a year old (I was 13) and she lived to be 13yrs when she passed (I was 26). She is the reason I started to really love dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society quite a bit over the past 5yrs That has been a very rewarding experience. I currently work Fridays-Mondays in the medical field and have a lot of free time on my days off. I usually take Millie, my Lab, for a 2hr walk in the surrounding neighborhoods and try to get her down to the river once a week to swim. It’s by far her favorite activity and she’s a master swimmer. I live in an apartment with my dog and care for her like a child. Because let’s be honest. She is a child. She gets whatever she needs and so will every dog I care for on a daily basis.

About: With 5 cats & 2 dogs of my own, all ranging in age, personality, and care needs, I know how to meet an animal where they’re at. Meeting my animals with love and respect has resulted in a relationship built on unshakeable trust that can easily be recreated with your pet any time it’s needed! I love working with all kinds of animals and getting to know them for their personality and quirks. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have more than enough time to hangout with and take care of your animals! Given enough time and notice, any time will work for me! Whatever schedule or necessities your animal needs I’m able to recreate with proper instructions. My animals are used to a schedule so I have no issues following one, whatever works for you will work for me!

About: I have a very anxious dog that I care for daily, which has made me super flexible with different types of pets and their needs. I have a very open schedule and have the ability to pet sit for long periods of time. I am available for both morning and night meal times or just a mid day check in. I am also free to walk dogs throughout the day! I’m very attentive to pet needs making sure water is available at all times as well as providing food when appropriate. I will make sure to keep the environment safe by locking doors, keeping fences closed, and making sure your pet remains safe and happy! I love spending time with animals and would love to get to know your pets.

Kylie was an absolute blessing for me and my cat Mantra during my first time leaving her alone for 5 days! She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy, updating me every day, which was very comforting. I’m certain Mantra had a great time with Kylie because when I arrived, she seemed very happy. The best part is that Kylie takes the cutest pictures, so now I have a full photo shoot of my cat! I will definitely recommend Kylie for your furry one.

About: My most recent dog care experience is from my Kennel Technician job and my volunteer work at One Tail At A Time in Portland. I’ve gained experience safely handling dogs with different personalities, monitoring behavior, and helping maintain a clean and safe environment for both animals and people. I also completed Dog and Cat First Aid Training through American Red Cross. My schedule can vary week to week but I will always be available for bookings on Sundays. I have a part-time job that dictates my schedule until September. Each week on Friday new shifts are assigned to me for the following week. I will always update my schedule here on Rover each Friday to reflect those changes. I will send consistent updates, photos, and stick closely to your pet's routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm currently accepting new clients for walks and drop-ins, so feel free to message me!
