About: I had a sweet little cat for 15 years starting in childhood and she was my hearts home. I have limited experience with caring for dogs on a day to day basis but have walked and played with friends and family’s dogs and would love the privilege of walking new furry friends. I work close to full time during the week but have ample time for walks and quality time with your furry loves on the weekends. I must come to you and your dog because someone in my household does not like dogs but I will follow your instructions to the letter and make sure your doggo has a great time with me.

About: Animal care has been a part of my whole life. I've always had a pet, whether they were cats or dogs. No matter the size, age, or breed of the pet, I understand to respect their boundaries and be mindful of their safety. Spoiling and playing with pets is the easiest task on the planet. I'm a part-time college instructor. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can happily take a break from grading to pop in for a pet. I first and foremost will defer to the owner's instructions and requests. For pop in care, I will check basic needs first: food/water/litter box/potty breaks. Then comes socializing or any other request from the owner. Weather permitting, I like to take dogs out for fetch, chase, tug-a-war, or casual walks. What we do is sometimes determined by the breed of dog. For cats, I understand that play is up to them. I'm happy to engage in any way they prefer. My own cat is a fiend for a string.

About: I bond easily with cats and dogs. I am gentle, patient and give 100% to all the fur babies in my care. I enjoy entertaining and caring for these special critters. While with me, I am observant and provide the kind of interaction the pet wants. This could be anything from a massage to hiking and play at a beach with a variety of toys. I always want your pet to feel warm and welcome. I believe walking is the best medicine, so I’m game to go out no matter the weather. I don’t feed people food to them but am happy to give appropriate treats and lots of praise. I have been taking care dogs for 15 years. Dogs are considered my family bond

About: I have years of experience with dogs and love every one, no matter the size! Back home I have a cavalier & a small mixed breed, and in Oregon I have a blue heeler! I’m a college student with a lot of free time! My longest class days are 5 hours long, 2x a week. That’s a lot of free time to spend with your pups! I live in a pet friendly apartment and have wheels that can take me anywhere around town! I have a lot of free time and know tons of good trails.

About: Hi! I’m Jaedyn, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets. Growing up, my family fostered over 10 dogs over the years, which gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care needs from an early age. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals throughout my life. One of my biggest passions was raising, breeding, and showing rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of consistent care, attention to health, and understanding animal behavior. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible.

I aim to provide pets with consistency and attention so they can stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or behavioral quirks, I believe clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Having cared for animals my entire life—from foster dogs to rabbits, cats, and small pets—I’m comfortable adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and care needs. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.

About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience, I've cherished every moment spent giving furry friends the cuddles, walks, playtime, and attention they deserve.

About: My personal dog and I have experience on high elevation mountains that are demanding physically and mentally. We will be able to provide your dog with an enriching experience in nature while staying safe. I am a traveling school speech therapist assistant currently on summer break looking for side jobs to keep me afloat and save money for graduate school. I have my own vehicle and my own large breed dog that will always accompany on my pack walks. We will hit hiking trails starting at 4:30am to be done with the walks by 8am during the Arizona summer.

“My two dogs, Basil and Zeus had a great time with Leanna! Leanna came to my house two days in a row on short notice to walk my boys when I couldn't get home in time. Communication was easy, and Leanna arrived exactly when she said she would. I'm so excited that everything went so well, I've scheduled a walks for them with Leanna every week! Thank You Leanna!”

About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general.  I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!
