“Amazing as always! She’s super responsive, reliable, and the only person I trust with my babies. My dogs absolutely love her, and I always have peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands! ❤️”

About: I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, crazy cats and shy cats. I know each animal has a different way of life. I take into consideration all of their favors and sensitivities. I want each animal to feel loved and as comfortable as possible while they are away from their parents. I mostly have open availability. I usually only work at night for about five hours for about only three days a week. I have a pretty flexible schedule and if you contact me, we can work something out! I live in an apartment. I have a small backyard with no fence. I have a park nearby where I can walk dogs. I am also willing to come to the animals home and care for them there as well.
About: I’m a current foster home for the Troutdale shelter. I’ve taken legal cases and regular foster cases until they are adopted. I love all animals and just want to help those in need. I currently work from home so I’m able to care for your pet all day. I’m able to play, love on them and walk them. I don’t have a fenced yard but I’m able to walk your furry friend or crate them. However you want them to be taken care of.

About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.

She communicates so good and always puts my anxiety at ease being away from our babies. She seriously is the BEST!!!! We loveeee her and so do our babies!❤️🐾”

About: Hi! My name is Anelys. I am a responsible, caring, and reliable pet caregiver with a passion for animals. I studied Veterinary Medicine in Cuba and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including puppies and senior pets. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. I am comfortable administering medications, taking dogs for walks, providing overnight care, and following special instructions from pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, transportation, and overnight care. I make sure every pet receives attention, exercise, companionship, and proper care throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I studied Veterinary Medicine in Cuba and I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and administering medications when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m an experienced animal-care professional with several years of hands-on experience working in pet hotels and pet food stores, along with a lifetime of caring for animals of my own. During my time working as a pet hotel lead, I cared for animals with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. That experience taught me that good pet care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some animals warm up immediately, while others need patience, consistency, and a little extra time to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with following detailed feeding and care routines, administering medications, accommodating food aversions and sensitive stomachs, responding to food strikes, and adapting when unexpected situations come up. I’m comfortable working under pressure and, most importantly, I pay attention. Changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, energy, or routine can be important, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. After spending some time working as an office manager at a wellness clinic, I realized how much I missed working with animals. Caring for them has always been something that comes naturally to me, and returning to animal care feels like getting back to work I genuinely enjoy and find meaningful. At home, I have two cats of my own, Frank and Mabel, so I also understand pet care from an owner’s perspective. Trusting someone new with an animal you love can be stressful. When a pet is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m happy to learn the little things that make your pet your pet—their routines, favorite spots, quirks, boundaries, and the things that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going back home. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’m excited to make professional pet care part of it again. My goal is simple: provide dependable, attentive care for your pet and give you the confidence of knowing they’re in capable hands. I am currently doing pet care and house cleaning full time, which allows my schedule to be extremely flexible. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, with availability throughout most of the day. I am happy to work around you and your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping their environment as familiar and consistent as possible. I will respect your home, follow any household instructions you leave for me, and make sure doors, windows, gates, and other potential escape points are secure when coming and going. I’m also mindful that every home and pet comes with its own set of rules. Whether that means keeping certain doors closed, separating pets during meals, using a specific entrance, checking the yard before letting a dog outside, or making sure a determined cat doesn’t make a break for it when the front door opens, I’m happy to learn how things work in your home and stick to them. I want you to come home to your pets safe, happy, and comfortable, and your home better than you left it.
“We are so incredibly lucky and thankful to have Katherine’s care and support. It was so wonderful to come home to a happy, warm, content dog. I so super appreciate Katherine for always taking care of our needs. On time. Professional. Reliable. Communicative. Everything we want and need. Thank you.”

About: Hello, I'm Taylee, a long-time pet owner with a passion for making new friends and providing quality pet care! Whether it's taking your companion for a walk, tossing a chuck-it, using indoor toys, or just making sure they have familiar company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, happy, and safe. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to create a stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable and enjoy their time while you're away. I'm currently putting all my focus into this - so my schedule is quite flexible! I primarily travel via public transit which can limit short notice availability. When caring for pets in my client's home, I treat it with the same respect I’d show my own. I ensure pets are safe by securing doors, gates, and any areas they shouldn't access. I prioritize keeping their space clean, feeding them on time, and providing regular walks or play sessions based on their usual habits. I also send photo updates and communicate often to reassure pet parents that their furry family members are in good hands. Unfortunately I am unable to provide care in my personal home.
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”


“Robin did a wonderful job with our two cats! Oliver and Rosco warmed up to her fast and were well taken care of during our vacation. She provided us with a picture and updates and responded quickly to our messages. We would love to book her again next time!”

“I had another fantastic experience with Sequoia! I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with my cats when I’m away and will definitely be booking again for my next trips! Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens and more and love spending time around animals! In the past I’ve been relied on to care for neighbors and friends pets, and would love to continue doing that :) I am currently working part time and will be home most of the day to hang with your pet! I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will be home most of the day to keep your pet company, and have two very friendly dogs who can keep them entertained and play while I’m away.
About: Animal care has been a central part of my life since I was a young child. It is important to me to go above and beyond to care for the animals in my life. I understand that pets are family. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I provide care in your home only, as my own kitty at home needs to have a safe space herself. I understand that animals need to feel comfortable and safe, especially while their owners are away. Maintaining their typical environment and routine is important. I have personal experience caring for reactive animals with unique medical needs. I am thorough, honest, and patient. I will keep you updated on your babies daily. P.S. I will petsit fish, bugs, and most mammals as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out if you have a pet that is not a dog or a cat. I do charge for all animal care. I work from 4:30-9:30 every Tuesday & Friday then 1:30-9:30 every Monday & Thursday. If given 3 weeks in advance I can request half shifts on Monday & Thursday! If this doesn’t work for your schedule, it is unfortunately something I cannot change. Pets have their own personalities, wants, needs, and boundaries. I am experienced in reading animal body language to prevent possible miscommunication between me and your pet. It is important to me that your pet is safe and loved.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re furry royalty. I’m skilled in managing zoomies, snack negotiations, dramatic tantrums, and cuddles on demand. Whether your pup is a diva, a goofball, or a pro napper, I make sure their stay feels like a luxury vacation. Expect belly rubs, playtime, treats, and so much fun they might pretend they don’t want to go home. This is my full time job, I will be home full time for you and your pup! I do work at a dog training facility in my free time for hours for my CPDT (dog training) certification, but you and your dog come first! I have a 7 foot tall fully fenced yard for your pup to explore, there are kennels available for those who need, and a plethora of dog beds, couches, and toys to keep your fur babies entertained. I also rent out Sniff Spots for extended stay guests to provide a fun adventure day!
About: I've spent the last several years walking and day sitting for the same neighborhood dog, 3-5 days a week, rain or shine, all the walks, all the naps, all the good boy energy. He's moving away, and while I'll really miss him, I'm excited to become someone else's regular. I'm genuinely happiest with a dog curled up next to me or trotting along on a walk. If you're looking for someone consistent who'll truly love on your pup, I'd love to be that person. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I love having a reason to take cuddle breaks and walks between tasks. I have a fenced, grassy yard for safe outdoor time and a big comfy couch right next to where I work, so your dog is never far from me during the day. I build in regular breaks to take dogs out, play, and just check in. Walks are a real part of my day, not an afterthought. Our household is calm and steady. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual feeding and routine as closely as possible, so the time with me feels familiar. My husband also works from home, so between us and our 16 & 20 yr old kids, there's almost always a lap available.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boring choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
