About: i’ve had animals of all kinds of entire life and i couldn’t love it more. Family members and neighbors have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and snuggle with there fur babies. i’m currently still in high school so i will have plenty of time to care for your animals. I finish school at 12:40 so anytime after 1 is great for anything and weekends i am always free. Currently in my home i have a kitten who is an only inside cat, but i grew up with a pitbull and two very large labs so if needed to be crated i can do that.

“We really liked having Kate take care of our dog. She left a note that said our dog was great--but in fact, Kate was great! She did a good job taking care of our senior dog, and we would use her again.”

“Everything went great with Trina's drop in visits to care for my 2 cats. I wasn't sure how they would do with strangers but they seem to have warmed up to her very quickly. I've already booked Trina again for a longer period next month.”

About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. P.P.S. Someone is moving into my condo on or before September 15th. She should have a cat. Therefore, it's best I only do pet and home sitting at the owner's place. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place. Someone with a cat is moving in on or by September 15th, 2026.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

About: My love for dogs started when I was a kid—my grandpa taught me how to create gentle bonds with our family’s dogs. I became the one with the dog obsessed-personality and for two years I volunteered at the Animal Shelter in SLO, CA. It was so rewarding and all I ever want to do is make sure these animals always feel loved! Any time someone needs an amateur trainer, they call me! I love dogs, and want to make my passion for them into a career. Moving to Oregon has been a whirlwind, and I’m excited to continue working with the community and their furry friends! I’ve recently moved to Oregon and I’m ready to get back into dog-sitting for the time being! That means my availability is wide open and I can drop in for quick visits or weekend stays. My own experience with dogs is unorthodox to some; it’s their world and I just live in it. I love them inside and following me around and don’t mind them on furniture or in rooms. I have experience with crate training if that is what is preferred, as well as dog walking since we learned tactics in the animal shelter. I also like to expand on dog enrichment to keep their minds engaged as well as their bodies!

About: I was a veterinary technician (2 years) with experience caring for both small and large animals, and I spent four years rescuing and fostering animals. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic with a strong focus on emergency medicine, so I’ve seen firsthand how quickly things can go wrong and know what to watch for when it comes to your pet’s health and safety. I was a hospital technician for one year, meaning my job was to monitor patients, give medication, and notify the vet to any health changes. I plan to attend veterinary school in the near future, and in my free time I do TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for feral cats and volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I also minored in Human-Animal Relations, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and how they think. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, and safety is always my number-one priority. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall health, and I will never put your pet in an unsafe situation. Mostly, though, I’m just a HUGE animal lover. Getting to spend time caring for your pet genuinely feels like a treat to me. My favorite dog breeds are probably pit bulls and corgis, but my favorite animal will always be a cat. :) Boarding & Day Care I also have the perfect property for boarding, overnight stays, or day care! I live on a beautiful 5 acre property with 3 acres being a large fenced pasture where dogs can safely stretch their legs and explore. I’m a horse trainer, so I’m on the property every day and your dog will have plenty of supervision and attention. I’m also very careful about keeping dogs separated when appropriate. I do have a very friendly Lab who loves having dog friends, but they only interact if you’re comfortable with it and give me permission. The property has everything a dog could want for a little vacation- large grassy pastures, a creek, and wooded areas to explore. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and downtime. Most dogs leave happy, tired, and ready for a good nap! :) I’m also located less than 2 minutes from Silver Creek Animal Clinic, which provides emergency animal care. I pray nothing ever happens but it is conveniently close. Currently all proceeds are going towards childhood horse’s cancer treatment 😔 she took care of me as a youth so now it’s my turn to take care of her. I recently started my own horse training business, so I work primarily from my property and have an extremely flexible schedule. This makes pet care a really natural fit into my day! I feed and care for my horses around 8 AM and 5 PM, and I spend the middle of the day working and training them. I work with my Mom so she can care for the horses when I need to take care of your pets. During breaks between rides and training sessions, I’m able to spend time with the dogs, whether that means letting them run and play in the pasture, going for a walk, giving them some one-on-one attention, or just hanging out together. Working a horse takes about 45 minutes, where your dog will be left in a covered run where they can potty if needed. Because I’m on the property throughout the day, I can also accommodate early-morning or late-night drop-offs, bathroom breaks, walks, and other schedules that might be difficult for someone with a traditional 9–5 job. Your pet gets to be part of my everyday routine rather than being left alone for long stretches of time. I have plenty of space for dogs to exercise and explore, and I’m able to give them frequent attention throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent routine for my horses. I do not mix dogs and horses! I keep them very separate. Your dog’s stay will feel more like a little vacation than a traditional boarding facility! I have a 3-acre fenced pasture where dogs can safely run, explore, and get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’m here throughout the day to supervise and spend time with the dogs. I keep all boarders separated from one another, unless you are dropping off more than one dog :) I also have a very friendly Lab who absolutely loves having dog friends, and I’m happy to let her play with your dog if allowed. You can see her in my photos. Otherwise, your dog gets their own space and one-on-one attention. I can get away with the your dog never knowing there is other dogs on property. There are several comfortable options for your pet depending on their needs and your preferences. Dogs have access to comfortable dog mats and fresh water, as well as a covered run where they can go outside and potty even when the weather isn’t cooperating. I also have large, heated horse stalls that can be used as comfortable private spaces. For dogs who are potty trained and comfortable in a home environment, they can also spend time inside my house or have their own room. I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re most comfortable with. Oregon winters can be rainy, but your dog won’t be stuck inside all day. When the weather is wet, they can run and play in my indoor arena or barn, which are both warm and provide plenty of room to move around. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and supervision. I’m on the property every day, keep boarders separated, and make sure every dog has fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and attention. Whether they’re running through the pasture, exploring the property, relaxing in the house, or curling up for a nap, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re here.

About: Since 2021 I’ve fostered 2 cats and 2 dogs and have found them each their perfect forever homes. I love animals and love making sure that they’re cared for and taken care of. Trails, parks, and beaches, oh my! Oh the places that your little furry friend and I will go 🐶🐾🦮 As a veteran enrolled in law school full time, I understand the importance of time management and responsibility. Most of my availability will be during the week after class and in between studying, with more time typically opening up on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my apartment complex but I will make sure that your pet continues to feel right at home in their own environment. I’ll cater my care to any dietary or medical treatments and medications and will ensure that they are properly exercised.

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

About: HI there! I have been an animal lover and dog owner my whole life. I grew up on a farm in rural Oregon with 4 furry four- legged family members! I had a wonderful Rottweiler for 9 years and we enjoyed beautiful hikes, brisk nightly walks and serene moments at the coast. Now that he has passed, I have been the go-to for many of my friends and family when they are in need of hands-on care for their pets. I have been house/pet sitting for 6 years now and have decided to offer my services on Rover.com! I am experienced with all sizes of dogs and have a firm but gentle tone. I like to keep a tight schedule with feeding and potty time and walks are always at the top of the list!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Broadmead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,121 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Broadmead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Broadmead. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
