“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

“Courtney was so sweet and loving towards our cat that has a bit of a cattitude 😅 Our cat warmed up to Courtney quickly with her kind demeanor. So grateful for her checking in on our monster while we were away!”

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”
“Sheila was great with our cat! She spent extra time and sent lots of great photos and videos. Great communication throughout. Would happily recommend and rebook.”

About: I will describe myself as friendly, responsible and playful. My family and I grew up with dogs and to this day, they are my still my best friends! We treat every dog as our own. I’m currently a homemaker and spend most of my time at home. I would be free every day except when I’m out traveling. I love going on a nice walk daily. My husband and I live in a pet-friendly apartment. My home is a clean and healthy environment. I would love to walk your dog daily and spend as much time as needed with your pet.
“Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Aside from my professional history as a wildlife biologist and former Oregon Zoo keeper I am a life long lover of dogs, cats, and all animals. I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails. I'm in shape to handle any sized dog in the event of aggressive leash pulling or needing to lift a dog in case of emergency. I bring professional animal handing experience and an innate understanding and empathy towards animals. Recently furloughed Government wildlife biologist, I am currently available 24/7 if needed. I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions since the start of this summer and it is so great to have one less thing to worry about knowing she's stopping by. She always helps with extra things like making sure my garden is watered and checking if doors were left unlocked by accident. She is incredibly flexible and is always kind enough to help when work keeps me away from home longer than expected.”


About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Excellent care for our kitties while we were away for a week! Marcus gave an update daily and it was clear he picked up on the kitties’ personality quirks right away. We came home to happy cats. Would definitely book with Marcus again.”

“We left our Cat and Rabbit with Nicole for over a month while we had gone overseas. Based on a pre agreed schedule Nicole promptly came for a visit. She did all the chores for the pets and spent time with them. Both the pets were well looked after. I would gladly use Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”


“Kate did a great job taking care of my new cat. She gave really thoughtful updates throughout the week which eased a lot of my worries about leaving her. Daisy was happy and healthy when I got home. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Claire has truly gone above and beyond. She connected us to our new vet after we recently moved to the area, and after Luna had a pancratitis flare scare, she talked me through a similar experience she'd had with her own dog to set me at ease and checked in on Luna to make sure she was safe and comfortable, sending frequent video updates. We could not possibly be more thrilled to have found such a compassionate, caring, knowledgeable sitter. The peace of mind she has given us is priceless. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!!”

“Autumn was a great caretaker for our critters! She was very detailed in her updates and we felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”

Esther Short pet parents share their Rover experiences
Felicia definitely has a special touch and my cat’s noticed. I think they were spoiled and I’m happy and I know both boys were too. We communicated and met in person preemptive to my vacation…actually a few times, with exchange of the house key and care instructions. She kept in contact with me everyday and made sure I was aware of everything going on with the animals, plus she even cared for my trash cans, which was real convenient. The cans were happy too ;-) 5 stars for Felicia because she has earned it, and earned my trust.

Jessica is a wonderful cat sitter, solid communicator, and great cat photographer! We so appreciated the care she put into taking care of our furry family members, checking in on our travel plans, and the updates/photos she shared with us so we could feel close with them while we traveled. ♥️

What an exceptional cat ally! Dani was prompt and responsive to my messages while I was gone during our prearranged time window and gave me sweet updates on my little dudes activities of daily living. The pictures were great and I plan to request her again later this year. Thanks Dani !!

Michelle was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. My cat is very shy, and she somehow managed to make him feel comfortable with her, which is impressive all by itself! She was patient, caring, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my cat again.

My girls and I love Megan! She takes such good care of my babies and is excellent at communication. I never feel like I have to worry when im away because she asks any necessary clarifying questions and spoils them with walks and affection! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!
