About: Passionate Pet Caregiver with Years of Tail-Wagging Experience With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve dedicated myself to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a furry friend as part of my family. From playful pups to finicky felines (and everything in between), I treat every pet like family. My love and care extends beyond four legs, as I am currently pursing a degree in nursing!Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or special needs care like medication administration, your furry friend is in trusted hands! I am currently pursing a degree for nursing, and work part-time as a waitress. I am an early bird by heart, but have been shifted to a night owl because of my work schedule. I love to tend to my fur babies in the morning, waking my four-legged friend and setting a positive attitude for the day with exercise and natural vitamin D! Play time is an around the clock must. Any morning, afternoon, or evening, I am the girl to care for your four-legged friends! Any routine they need, I am very adaptable. I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and cats, willing to crate, administer medication, exercise, play, and snuggle. I am more than willing to follow and routine needed for you and your family. Play dates, walks, feeding, and even the not so fun clean up side of pet care!
“Hillary was so great and reliable stopping in to watch our dog Mack for a long weekend! She came each day at our agreed upon times and took amazing care of our dog. She always sent the best report cards and updates and really gave us peace of mind while we were away! We have already booked her again for our next trip!”
“Chirstina did a wonderful job taking care of my boys. I got multiple pictures daily with cute updates. The cats love her and she even took action shots of them playing. Could not be happier and will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve always had a calm, patient way with dogs; even in high-stress situations from my time as a first responder. I’ve cared for senior dogs, given meds, and helped pups with special needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. As a veteran and homeschooling mom, my days are flexible and full of love. Caring for your pets fits right in. I’m available most days at any time and can easily adjust to your dog’s schedule, whether they need a walk, a potty break, or some extra affection. Your pet will feel like part of the family with me! I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared for like family. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.
About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was younger! I have helped not only my family but also my friends and other pet owners! I have learned over time what certain pets need and I am ready to learn more if needed! I will continue to keep my availability up to date every week when my work schedule comes out. Sometimes when I work it will be from 12pm-11pm so I would not be able to stay there all day. I’ll make sure to put that in my availability, and if that’s not a problem with you just send me a message and we can figure something out! Also, if I know in advance about any pet sitting, I’m able to get days off, so keep that in mind! I am able to do any care that you need in your own home!

Cottage Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kara was great, highly recommend. My dog had an amazing time and she communicated daily during every drop in.
Peyton is amazing and went above and beyond for us while we were away for our first family vacation!! She was on point with communication when we or she had a question regarding the dogs, plus she did cleaning outside when we didn't ask her to. With the 6 dogs she had to watch, 5 out of 6 dogs (5 are my MIL dogs) loved her, except 1 of our dogs, Misty, was very stubborn and guarded she was giving us a play by play on how she kept on barking and 24hrs later Misty warmed up and earned Peyton's respect. We would love to have her again in the near future!! :)
