About: Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a owner of an adorable black cat named Roger. Pets love me so much friends call me the pied piper when their dogs follow me around. I have 6 current clients that I pet sit for. Duties include, letting dogs out to go potty, taking for walks, feeding and staying overnight as needed. I can even bring in the mail and water your plants as needed. I prefer to work in Vancouver but am willing to travel to ridgefield, camas and battleground as well. Travel to Portland will cost an additional $10 each day for travel. I work part time but have a flexible schedule and can work around your pets needs. I am available for overnights m-s except for when traveling on vacation. I love taking your dogs for walks and playing them at home. I love to snuggle with your cats and dogs and will make sure they are well cared for and loved.

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!

About: Hi there! My name is Kasy. I love all dogs and have plenty of experience. I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and chickens. I have been training animals for nearly 7 years now. My best friend is my dog Riley. She loves meeting other dogs as well. I’m not only experienced with only dogs but horses too. I have successfully trained 3 horses in my life and have taught 2 people to ride as well. I used to baby sit puppies from a local pet store at night so the owner wouldn’t have to stay. There would be approximately 3 or 4 dogs at a time. I would love to meet your dog ! I am looking for a way to make extra cash and this is perfect because I am the biggest animal lover. If you have any questions please make sure to reach out. Thanks ! I am currently working part time at a school. After 2:30 I am free to play with furry friends. In about 3 weeks my schedule will change into full availability with the exception of saturday and sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard, dog crates and beds for my pups. They rarely use the crates and are used to roaming free at our house and the fenced dog park

Lauryn was a great sitter. We had a little hiccup with scheduling but she communicated the whole time, found her own coverage which I really respected, and in the end it all worked out. She sent tons of videos and pictures of the boys and left the house clean. I would absolutely hire her again!

Olivia was the best dog sitter I have ever had!! She house sat with my dog for almost a week and eased all my anxiety with lots of updates. She took him on lots of adventures hiking and to the lake and played with her own dog. Also she was so kind to wash bedsheets and everything before i came home. I could not recommend her enough!!

I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life. I have experience with all different dog sizes and breeds, and I do particularly well with large dog breeds. I love spending time with puppies and helping to get them used to good behaviors. I also love helping train older dogs out of bad habits.

Whatever your pet needs I am more than happy to help them with. I have my own car so I can take your pets to the park if that's something that they like. As long as their needs are laid out, I have no problem following instructions.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of attention and companionship I’m able to provide. Since I work remotely, pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can keep a consistent routine throughout the day. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment while treating every pet like family. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, maintaining routines, giving medication, or providing gentle care for shy or senior pets. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always feel connected and reassured while away. I work remotely, allowing me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. I offer flexible scheduling for daytime drop-ins, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates for owners while they’re away.

Jamie is an outstanding pet and house sitter. She communicated daily and sent pics of my 6mo bernedoodle. He is still a handful and she didn’t seem phased by this. My house was as I left it - and cleaner! She is a responsible and kind person. I will hire her again.

Kris did a wonderful job dogsitting my 2 corgis and was very respectful of my house. This was a last minute reservation and he was prompt in responding and scheduling a greet in time of the reservation. I would recommend him and will schedule again.
