“Livvi did a great job caring for our pups. Very responsive to check ins and sent photos throughout the week to keep us updated. I would recommend Livvi to anyone looking for pet and/or housesitting with a pet.”

About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱

“Cailee took care of our little puppy while we were away and did an amazing job!! She sent so many updates so I knew he was being well cared for! When our flight got delayed she even offered to come back after her scheduled time to check on our boy! I definitely would have her watch him again!!”

About: I can do drop-in visits, long walks and/or overnight stays in the southern Portland area. I work at a software company in Lake Oswego and am passionate about caring for dogs. I am extremely dependable and will go out of my way to make sure your furry loved ones get everything they need to be happy and healthy. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be at your service at the drop of a hat. All services are meant for average dogs. If any sort of special treatment or services are needed (ie. Medications, special sleeping arrangements, specific diet etc.) I will do everything in my power to provide said treatment/service at no additional cost.

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: I've cared for dogs (small to medium size), cats, ducks, fish, chickens and some birds since in my teens. I've looked after friends, family and neighbors pets for feeding, boarding, day care, walking, play, etc… I am an artist, so I am free to be home all day therefore my availability is Monday through Sunday. My hours are flexible and accommodating to your pets needs. I have a house with a tall fenced yard and 3 dogs that are dog and people friendly. Your pets can play with mine or they can be placed in a separate area. During good weather, I leave the back door open so dogs are free to come in and out of the house. All dogs sleep inside the house together or if requested in a separate room.

About: I lived on a small farm growing up and fell in love with animals. I took 4H when I was little putting rabbits in the fair. One thing to know about 4H Rabbits is at the Fair is that they are the tamest rabbit there, because of the time and love we give the rabbits. At the fair we got the opportunity to present the open class rabbits to the judges since we where train to handle them. I also worked with our family dog, (a collie at the time), on training him for 4H. Since them, in my teenage years, I bread and hand raise parkettes. I sold them to people once they where old enough to leave there moms. I know have two dogs I rescued, and a cat. I am always walking my dogs come rain, snow. Or sunshine. If you find yourself unable to walk your dogs because of work or weather, I am more then willing to walk them for you. Just give me a shout! I have three friendly dogs and a cat to keep your dogs, or cat company. I always leash the pets up before we go out for walks or whatever to keep them safe.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8+ years and have always had a love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, or company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very attentive to their routines and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer plenty of time and attention to your pet. I can work around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care when needed. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to relax and play. I have a friendly dog who is used to being around other animals, but I’m also happy to keep pets separated when needed.

About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.

About: PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT LOCATION IS NYON, SWITZERLAND. I PROVIDE SERVICES IN SWITZERLAND AND FRANCE AND AM AWAITING ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SWAP ME TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT/CHANGE LOCATION. I am “that” dog owner who gets dog themed gifts from everyone, plans my day around adventures with my pups, makes my own organic treats and massages their paws with lotion before bed. I knew from an early age I didn’t want children of my own, so they really are my babies! I recently moved to Nyon, but work in Geneva. I struggled to find pet care I felt comfortable with moving here, so I know what is lacking in the industry and I would love to treat your pets like my own. I’m huge on cuddling if your dog is lazy like my golden, but also keen to keep active outdoors if they’re full of energy like my lab. No size too small or too large, no breed that scares me. I will follow your instructions to a “T,” because id hope my sitter would do the same. One of my dogs has allergies and acid reflux, so I’m comfortable administering medication! Photos and videos guaranteed throughout or time together, I can even make you some of my personalized pup cakes. On hot days, I make popsicles to keep them cool and take them to swim in the river behind my house. I also have a car with doggie seatbelts, so we can do park visits! I work from home, so I can devote as much time as needed to making sure your babies are cared for in a way that suits their needs! I live in a flat, but have a 42 square meter terrace and work from home. So, I am able to take them outside for as long as specified by you. I have two very friendly dogs of my own who will keep them company if you’d like, or we can do solo drop ins and walks. I live in a dead end street that is quiet and surrounded by nature (River, woods, vineyard). Please see my reviews, I am also background checked as I work for an international organization (and can provide anything you need to feel safe). More than happy to meet beforehand so we can have a coffee and make sure everything is a good fit!

“First time user of the Rover app and we had Rachel over to our house for 6 days to watch our 2 goldens. It was a perfect match. She brought her Golden with her and they all got along so well. 2 swimming trips to the river and lots of play time at our house. She treated our dogs like they were her own. Lots of daily communication, videos and pictures made us feel at ease with having someone that we barely knew, watch over our house and dogs. There was even a new dog toy and chews left behind for the boys. Do no hesitate to book Rachel for any of your pet sitting needs. We will definitely reach out to her again when the time comes for another booking.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family! Growing up, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve also cared for cats and understand that they each have their own routines, personalities, and comfort levels. While in college, I worked as a Wag! walker and absolutely loved getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities. I now have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is very much part of the family. I’ve also traveled with dogs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m friendly, active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, your cat prefers some quiet company and attention, or your pet just needs someone to keep their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so walks and playtime fit naturally into my day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks, as well as a friendly Mini Schnauzer of our own. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them the space or attention they need. We also have a basement area that can be completely blocked off if your pet prefers their own quiet space or needs some time away from our dog. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have taken care of animals including dogs of all sizes as well as cats since I was young. I grew up with 7 dogs at one point and now we have a cat as well. I am a stay at home mother, so my availability is open often during the week and weekends and would love to help when I can :) I will treat your animals as well as I do my own. Making sure they had food, water, and had outside time frequently to use the bathroom and play if allowed.

“Lori did a fantastic job for us house sitting and taking care of our dogs and cat. Our two small dogs love her! We don't worry about our pets when Lori is with them. She is very conscientious in the care she she provides and we highly recommend her. We look forward to using her services again in the near future. Thanks Lori!”

“Tina was wonderful looking after our two cats while we were away for a few days!”

About: I’ve spent years around animals, A hippie horse camps as a kid, Some time on an equine rescue ranch in my early twenties nursing horses and dogs back to health, volunteering at local shelters, feeding my Mom's chickens and house sitting for countless friends. I know how to handle different animals and what they actually need. I believe that caring for animals isn't about running a tight ship; it’s about tuning in and going with the flow. My days have long been shaped by animals, I don’t believe in forcing energy on an animal. Instead, I focus on reading their cues, honoring their quirks, and offering a steady, grounded presence so they feel relaxed and safe. Because I work remotely in project coordination, my schedule is naturally fluid and presence driven. I have the flexibility to blend seamlessly into whatever rhythm your pet prefers, whether that means keeping quiet company while they snooze beside my workspace, adjusting meal timing when needed, or simply keeping communication easy and natural while you are away. I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, so I have real flexibility to care for your pet properly, whether you need local sitting or someone reliable while you travel. I’m equally good with the laid back companion or the high maintenance pet who needs constant attention. You can trust me with your animal. I work remotely which means I show up for your pet with real attention instead of a quick check in. Whether it’s a local sit or you need someone for a road trip, I’m flexible and reliable. Your animal will actually be cared for, not just kept alive until you get back.

“Laura was fantastic with my senior dog and my cat. She stayed at our house over a long weekend and took care of the mail, plants, etc. She was very communicative and texted pictures all weekend. I would highly recommend her!”

Stephanie H.

“Very responsible and communicative. Felt confident my pets were well taken care of! Definitely will use Stephanie again.”

About: I was born and raised on a farm so I have raised many different kinds of livestock and house pets. Animal care is one of my favorite things about living on the farm and I will treat your furry family members as one of my own. I am currently working a 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. I am able to get away during the work day for about an hour, so in that time I can come and let your pet out to potty or give them more food. On the days I am not working, I am completely free to be with your pet for as long as you need me. I will vary my care based on the situation you have at your home and on your pets temperment (ex. going to the park, walking on the sidewalk, or sticking to the yard).
