“Grace did a great job with Mowgli. He seemed quite comfortable with her which is not his usual behavior with strangers. I have already booked her for another stay!”

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, and pet-sitting professionally for over 10 years now. I am particularly experienced and confident in caring for senior animals, pets needing medication, and those who are particularly shy or need that extra emotional consideration. You'll notice me take the extra time to get to know your pet and the nuances of their personality and needs. I offer animals the slowness and presence needed for deep listening and attunement: two qualities that help build trust. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and good at communication. I'm used to planning my schedule and time around the needs of the animals I'm caring for, and am always ready to apply my extensive knowledge for unexpected situations that may arise. Some of my recent clients include a rowdy pack of 5 dogs of various size and breed, a senior cat with hyperthyroidism who switches her food preferences daily, a blind and deaf senior dog who loves to play, and a farm sanctuary with over 20 animals, including pigs rescued from a neglect situation and feral cats being socialized for the first time. If your animal needs a bit more time and care to feel comfortable around someone new, takes medication or is navigating ongoing health conditions, or is at higher likelihood of needing veterinarian intervention while you're away, these are situations where I have both experience and confidence. For me, animal care isn't just about completing all the tasks that need to be done for the well-being of our animal family members. It's about creating a relationship of trust with the animals relying on me, as well as their human guardians. Entrusting your beloved pet to another person, as well as opening your home to them, is something you deserve to feel secure and confident in. And your pet deserves to feel truly cared for, understood, and prioritized while you're away. With my years of experience both personally and professionally, and my special skills for medical and emotional complexity, I know I can provide a pet-care experience where trust flows in all directions. Pet-care is my main job (and joy) which I orient the rest of my living schedule around. I have lots of flexibility to form my schedule around your animal's needs. My most commonly booked form of pet-sitting is overnight care in the pet's home. This can put the pets at ease and lets them maintain their usual routines. Having years of experience with overnight stays, I am diligent and thorough when it comes to keeping your home and animal family safe: I always lock all doors and windows when I am away, unless given different instruction. I am always aware of closing doors and gates behind me so no pets can escape. I also offer visits / drop-ins throughout the day, and am consistent and timely in these visits.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have professionally worked as a house/pet sitter for 3 years but I have cared for my own for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many livestock. I have trained many of my puppies so I can handle them and have cared for many senior animals having to give them special diets and medications. My mom is a CVT and I have worked for a vet so I can handle and/or know when to call in bad situations. I will be starting school in September so I will have time between classes to care for pets. I will always make time or stay longer if a pet needs that. I make sure all animals are feeling safe wherever they may be. I make sure energetic animals get played with, shy dogs get there space, and older more lethargic dogs get there rest. I change my care based on the animal and always give them the care and love they need.

About: I've been around dogs intermittently, ranging from small to large, lazy to active, and administered medicine to elderly dogs as well. I understand that every dog is different and will do my very best to accommodate to each and every dog I take care of. I have a very open availability, I'm only away for ~10hrs spread out between two days during the weekdays. I can pop for however long or stay for a couple of hours! Whatever the pet needs I can provide. I keep a watchful, attentive eye on the pets I care for. I give them my full attention when playing with them, and whenever they ask for attention. I treat all animals with respect and play with them in a style suited for each individual personality.

“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”

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!

About: I’ve grown up with pets of all sizes and am not afraid to try new things. I strive to provide the best care possible for you and your pets. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday 8:30 AM to 5 PM in Salem but may be able to flex my hours if needed! I have weekends off and major holidays off as well. I currently have two guinea pigs that I provide constant care, enrichment and love for. I’m very serious about cleanliness and the safety of pets and those around the pets as well.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was younger and have experience with all types of breeds, I’m a lover of all animals and will care for them like they are my own pets! I am available most days any time. I am dependable and trustworthy, I can come by multiple times or stay with your pets, I am flexible and open! I am open to any service and have a fenced in backyard but am moving in the next month, so it will change but i’m still available to stay over night and spend time with pets.

About: I’ve always had a large variety of pets my whole life and am always super excited to meet new animals and their unique personalities I work part time, and most of my shifts will be done by 2pm, leaving much of the afternoon and evening for visits with pets I am reliable, attentive, and good at providing personalized pet care in clients’ homes. I follow feeding schedules, am able to administer medication if instructed, and ensure pets feel comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings. I love playing with pets, and giving plenty of affection. I maintain a clean environment and can keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: Hi! I have experience with house sitting and pet care with many different families working off Rover, through work, and for friends and family. I grew up with dogs, both big and small and had a cat of my own! I’m open to adjusting my schedule for your pets needs (ie dog parks), assisting in some grooming, and I’ll leave your home clean and just how you left it. I’m super respectful, kind, easy-going, and communicative. I work a 2 weeks on/2 weeks off work schedule - so I have lots of free time to care for your pet! I would love to chat over FT to make sure I'm a good fit :) I work a 2 weeks off/2 weeks on schedule! I have 2 whole weeks to dedicate to your fur family and home. I’d love to help out! I can care for your pet at your home however you see fit. I like to know how you go about pet care so I can give your pet the routine they are used to.

“Makana was able to book a last minute request and fit in a meet and greet which was really appreciated. She did a great job of keeping me updated and sending pictures. I could tell that my pup was having a good time!”

About: Hi, my name is Stella & I love dogs! I recently adopted a pup named Winnie - she is a big lovable goof with a sweet personality, who loves to play, and equally loves to chill and sleep. She gets along well with other dogs, so long as they don't exhibit aggressive behavior toward her. *****If I am considered for a house sitting job, please take note that Winnie would *maybe* need to join (or perhaps if you have a low-key pet, I could hop back and forth between caring for Winnie at my home and caring for your pet at your home). My husband does help with house sitting jobs though, so it is possible that Winnie wouldn't absolutely need to join but it would be ideal if that was an option. I love all breeds, large and small alike. Each dog has their own personality and I adjust my service based on what your dog needs. Cuddles, play time, belly rubs or space? Whatever works for me! I provide the best care and will give your dog all the love and attention he or she wants. *I have much experience dog sitting/walking - 15 years! I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs (and everywhere in between). I look forward to meeting your best friend(s). (: I take my dog on walks 2-3x per day, or replace one of these walks with a trip to the dog park (if it's nice outside!). I can only dog sit at your home as my dog is an ESA and the only dog allowed on my property. When dropping in or house-sitting, I love to take dogs to the park, on trails, or just a walk around the neighborhood! I adjust my care giving based on what you/your dog prefer - if you'd rather me play fetch or tug-of-war in home rather than going outside, that's perfectly fine too! I will let your dog outside to go to the bathroom as needed but I know every dogs abilities and preferences are different.

“We had to be away from home from 3:30 am until 7:30 pm and Hannah gratefully came by our house a few times to day to feed and visit with Shasta as well as take her for a walk. I'm so grateful Hannah could do this for Shasta and us. Hannah is wonderful!”

“Lauren was awesome!! After adopting our newest pack member, my fiancé and I were nervous about leaving the dogs crated all day. Lauren did a pre-check of the yard to ward off squirrels, and let the dogs go potty without any issues! We are so relieved to have a reliable human to check on our doggos while we work all day. She even got our new guy, Memphis, into his crate without too much coaxing!!”

About: I have had dogs of my own and have about 4 years of pet sitting experience. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to larger breeds, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, bathing, long walks, feeding, playtime, and daily care routines. I also love cats and have a lot of personal experience with them, including caring for my 3 cats at home and 1 cat back home with my parents. What sets me apart is that I have a calm and patient energy, but I also know how to keep pets engaged, active, and happy. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just needs someone gentle and trustworthy around, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits into my routine depending on the type of service you are looking for, so feel free to message me and we can chat about what works best. I am very flexible this summer, I offer drop in visits and dog walks, and I am happy to talk through your pet’s routine, personality, and care needs before booking. I try to be flexible when I can, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to make sure your pet gets reliable care, attention, and plenty of love while you are away. I provide care in the client’s home or neighborhood, which helps pets stay comfortable in their normal space and routine. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and general care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, body language, and comfort level so I can adjust my care to what they need. I want every pet to feel safe, respected, and loved, and I want pet parents to feel confident knowing their pet is being cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.
