“Meghan was so sweet to my kitties. The litter was cleaned and the floor by the box was swept. Their water dish had been cleaned and filled, and their food bowls were washed. Meghan went above my expectations and I will DEFINITELY use her again. My kitties are my babies and it was hard to trust someone with them but Meghan exceeded my expectations.”

“Absolutely wonderful person ! And so thankful she gave my dog a wonderful time ! My dog loved her doggies and she took her to a baseball game! My dog was so tuckered out by the end. Great and such a trust worthy person to leave your dogs with 10000/10 I will be booking with her again!”

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’m calm, observant, and adaptable, which helps me meet the needs of pets with different temperaments and routines. I’m a University student with a part-time job. I’m available every morning before 10 a.m., have flexibility most evenings, and have breaks throughout the school day when I’m available for visits or walks. I’m happy to coordinate schedules to best meet you and your pet’s needs. With years of pet-sitting experience, I’ve learned that a calm, patient presence helps animals feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to let pets adjust to me at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or skittish. I’m attentive, warm, and respectful of each animal’s boundaries while making sure they receive the care, affection, and attention they need. I’ve also trained my own dogs, giving me experience with consistent, responsible care. I prefer to meet with clients beforehand to build trust, discuss expectations, and ensure my client feels confident before I care for their pets.
About: I have experience taking care of young energetic dogs, elderly ones, and I’ve taken care of dogs with disabilities. I grew up with cats, so I also have tons of experience with them too. I am a fulltime dog walker/ sitter, which gives me lots of availability. From early in the morning to evenings, I can be there for your pet. I'm flexible to your pets schedule! I can provide early morning walks around the neighborhood or take them to a local walking trail. Anything your pet needs, I can provide.

About: I have had animals much of my life and have always been a responsible caretaker. I enjoy the company, love and unwavering affection of animals and strive to provide that in return. I'm looking to further my skills by becoming a dog trainer as well. I'm currently working part-time allowing me the flexibility to walk, play and hang out with your pet(s). My availability is daily for walks and some drop in visits. Let's work together to find a plan that fits everyone's needs! I treat all animals and humans with dignity and respect. I honor the clients feelings and will do my very best to show the client their pet is in good hands. All animals will be cared for as if they are my own.
About: Lucky enough to grow up on a farm, my family constantly was fostering pups from birth, senior dogs and raising our own! Responsibility was an extremely important value to learn growing up, since I was young Iv personally learned bottle feeding, administering oral medication and training for not only dogs but farm animals too! Between my two parents households and my own adulthood I have experienced raising pits, Staffordshire bull terriers, a German shepherd, a Great Pyrenees a Weimaraner and a springer spaniel plus temporarily fostering more breeds! Although iv had responsibility for many animals at once my love and gentle care was NEVER a second priority, I love my animals like children and I know how important they are to you too! Mon-wed I clean houses for 4-8 hours a day. There is always time in between houses perfect for a quick walk or check in. Fri -sun I’m a waitress and both jobs I’m always off and in newberg before 5 pm, perfect for over nights or evening play dates. As an early bird I’m always available before 8 am Mon-wed. Occasionally I have a weekday or a Saturday off where I can dedicate my whole day. With many years of home training experience I can ensure that strategic walking is in place to keep your dog close and manageable in public, I’m familiar with commands and trigger words and I don’t mind tricking your pup with a sweet treat if needed and requested ;) familiar with crating, pull collars and administering oral medication!

“Sarah is amazing with my two dogs, she is very reliable and prompt as a sitter with Rover. This was my first experience using Rover and it was a huge success. My four legged fur babies absolutely loved the e time she spent with them.”


About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with hunting dogs and know how to train a dog for scent training and perform tasks. I currently have a Pit Bull Mix and Pug with two very different personalities. I’ve done plenty of house sitting with dogs for various people in the community and am furthering my education on animal behavior and dog training organizations. I have created my own personal Business “Groovy Dogs Training” for Yamco area and am using this platform to build some outreach. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help benefit both your lives 💜 Tuesday -Saturday I work afternoon/evening so I am looking for Morning hours from 7:30-12:00 on those days Sunday- Tuesday I am available all hours and can even do late night checks. I always try to get a sense of what routine you and your dog do best with. Does your dog need to chill out before going on a walk I gotchu or needs to let out some energy with toy enrichment or fetch I can do that! Just let me know what works best for your fur baby or I can even help you when it comes to deciding that 💕
About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs. I am very active and can take your dog for a walk or run. I can also train your dog to do simple commands (sit, stay, lay down, come) - extra fee. I take walks/runs everyday (morning, afternoon, or night). I would be happy to take your pet on a walk with me. I can do short or long walks with your dog.

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.
About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, and their company has always brought me so much joy. I truly believe everyone deserves the happiness a dog brings. I currently live with four cats, one of which is named Ricki — who honestly acts like a dog himself and loves going on walks and car rides. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, and dogs who experience seizures. I love taking pups on walks (weather permitting), going to dog parks so they can socialize, and giving them plenty of love and mental stimulation. I’m a strong believer in animal rights and I never take their trust for granted. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. Rover is an amazing way to find someone you trust with your best friend, and I would love the chance to care for and look after your pet like they’re part of my family. I live right in town with a reliable car, which makes traveling to and from jobs easy. I currently work a couple of part-time jobs, but I’m able to schedule pet care around them with plenty of availability. I’m flexible, responsive, and able to make mid-day visits, morning/evening drop-ins, or full days depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in my home, I always keep the space clean, safe, and comfortable. I make sure animals have fresh water, the right amount of food, and a calm environment. Cats always have clean litter, and dogs get supervised outdoor time and structured care. In a client’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed and treat your space with respect. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.

About: I have been an animal lover since a young age, and have been caring for dogs since 2011. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and all ages in between. I have experience in training my own dogs and in practicing commands as asked when puppy-sitting. I've even trained my cat to give high-fives! I also have experience in administering medication, both oral meds as well as eyedrops. Our 14 year old labradoodle gets eyedrops twice daily, which I administer. I bond easily with animals and love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I love getting to know animals, and have a knack for bonding with anxious, shy animals. I am also okay with brushing and bathing, etc., as asked if needed. I am typically available all day on the weekends and most Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am in grad school for the next two years in Forest Grove and classes occur around 9am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I may have time for quick home visits for potty breaks during lunch on these days, if needed. I am happy to spend quiet time with pets who are more mellow, or to spend time playing or walking with energetic, younger dogs if that suits them best. I typically observe the dog's behavior and notes from the owner when deciding what to do- are they looking tired and calm? Are they a bit riled up and could use a playtime or a walk? I will follow any instructions left by the owners, as well. If there is anything specific or special you'd like me to do for your pets, just let me know!

About: I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter who specializes in providing one-on-one, low-stress care for dogs in their own environment. I have hands-on experience working with dogs in a kennel setting, and I’ve learned that many pets do best with consistent routines, patience, and a calm presence. I focus on giving each dog individualized attention rather than managing large groups, which helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and trained to see changes in behavior that are not typical for their personality. If they are more lethargic then usual I notice it and find out what is the problem. I have experience in urgent or emergency vet situations. I keep calm and the dog safe on rides to the vet. I communicate all the details needed to the vet and the parent of the dog. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in following your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific behaviors you’re working on. You can count on me to be consistent, attentive, and fully present with your pet. I am currently moving to Portland, Or from Washington state. I am growing my pet flight nanny business and looking for a part time job just to start out. My schedule will be flexible and I can plan around what is needed for your pet. I am great at following a routine. If you need food served at a certain time every day I can do it. If overnight care is needed I am fine to have them sleep with me or make them comfortable wherever they want. If they require play time I can adjust for the weather if needed.
Dayton dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were in a pinch for some short notice drop in visits. Jessica was able to be available to pop in and give our pups and outside break and attention during a couple of days we had to be away. The dogs are so happy with her and we know we can count on her. Would definitely recommend!
