About: I moved back to Aloha in 2023 after 6 years in Central Oregon, where I first got involved with dog rescue and animal care. If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I’m a huge animal person. I don’t just "watch" pets; I really enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I have a lot of experience with the "tricky" stuff—dogs with high anxiety, medical needs, or those that just need a little extra patience. I'm used to following strict feeding schedules and making sure meds are taken on time, so you don't have to worry about their routine being disturbed. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have exposure to horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I’m reliable, I’m a great communicator, and I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure they’re happy and you’re stress-free while you're gone! **References Available** Ps — Tell your dog I said, "Hi!" I currently focus my time on providing care for people's pets and I have a fairly open schedule to accommodate client needs. I spend my days outside and working with dogs, cats, chickens - you name it! I love what I do and look forward to caring for your pets too! In your home or mine, I respect the rules and routines you have in place for your pets. The dogs in my home will be kept separate from client dogs unless otherwise noted by the owner. Given the schedule I have for work and my personal dogs, your routine may vary slightly in my home. I have space for guest dogs so I can keep on a crate rotation to be able to meet and respect all the dogs' needs.
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’ve been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up as the main caretaker for our domestic shorthairs and Burmese cats gave me a natural feel for feline personalities, daily routines, and keeping cats happy and comfortable. Over the years, our family home was also filled with dogs of all kinds, including a high-energy Border Collie and sweet sighthounds like our Greyhound and Whippet. Having such a diverse pack taught me how to adjust to different energy levels, training styles, and exercise needs with patience and care. I’m currently the daily caregiver for a wonderful Labrador, and for the past several years, I’ve also loved stepping in as a reliable pet sitter for my neighbors when they travel, making sure their fur babies feel safe, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible! I’m currently a college student, but because almost all of my coursework is completed online, my days are wide open. Aside from the occasional weekday morning for a class or check-in, I’m available throughout the day and week whenever your pet needs drop-in visits, feeding, or extra playtime and cuddles. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities whenever I’m caring for your pets, whether we are hanging out in your home or out on a walk. Years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats mean I know how to spot potential household hazards before they become an issue, and I’m completely comfortable following routines like crating when needed. I’m also a keen observer of animal body language, so I always know when a pet is looking for extra comfort or prefers a little breathing room. Because I spend my free time constantly researching animal behaviour, friends and family actually joke that I am way too serious about pet safety. I wear that as a badge of honour because I am fiercely dedicated to making sure every animal in my care stays secure, comfortable, and genuinely happy.

About: Hi there! I am someone who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to find a sitter you can fully trust with your pet. Pets are part of our family! I approach pet sitting with patience, consistency, and communication with owners. I adapt my care style to match every pets personality and energy. I am comfortable working with younger pets who need calm guidance and stimulation as well as older seniors who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication and low stress environment. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, I aim to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own animals! I have a very open and flexible schedule! You can highly expect me to accept times and dates requested through the app. I expect my schedule to stay this consistent for at least the next 4-5 months. I currently have 2 cats at home and would not be able to take in pets but am more than willing to drive to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! I take time to understand each pets needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, etc. I aim to create a low-stress, caring environment while treating your home with respect and keeping you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Rylie was amazing. Took great care of our cats and went above and beyond multiple times. Even got our super shy car to come out and hang. Which has never happened before with a rover . Can tell she really cares about the animals she works with and will 100% book again if they’re available for our next trip.”


“Alexis has been super on top of it with her communication! She is reliable and sent me great updates about her time with our puppy. I am careful about who I trust with our puppy and I would hire Alexis any time.”

About: I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I’m experienced with every animal. I can assist you with training and learning your pets language with half the cost of personal trainers. I believe that our pets are family, I will take care of yours like my own. I understand nutritional, medical, and behavior traits in animals, especially dogs! I will greet you, note some basic day-to-day agenda for your animal and you can take care of what you need to. I provide a wide amount of services, including basic grooming and check-ups. Let me know what your pet needs and I’ll see if I can accommodate! Huge backyard and plenty of toys in my home. My dog loves to play with others and nothing wears doggos out more than another dog! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who love having company. I’ll provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while following their normal routine and any special instructions.
About: I have dogsat for my grandparents numerous times, sometimes up to two weeks before. I’ve had pets my entire life and know how to walk, care and feed them! Pet care fits in my schedule because I care full time for my own cat, who is a Manx breed. He is pretty high energy and is very active, so I’m always giving him attention and caring daily for his needs. I care for my pets at home by making sure they’re fed and watered regularly, and taken outside regularly, as well as giving them attention.
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a friendly and compassionate animal lover who wants to spread my kindness to the world. I have had a passion for animals ever since I was a little girl, from volunteering at shelters to even fostering rescues and to now adopting my own animals. I have over 10+ years of animal care experience from caring for neighbors pets, house sitting and even simple dog walks. I have a dog of my own, who always keep me on my toes and reminds me to live life more freely. My love for animals continues to grow and I am always up for the challenge of learning new ways of how to help animals in need. My quiet, calm and patient nature is well suited for working with animals of any kind. I can bring a sense of stability and trust to each family in need and I am looking forward to spreading my love and experience to all of those who are delighted to be apart of a team together! I currently am only working part time at the moment so I have extra hours within my week to provide drop in visits or walks when necessary. I always go above and beyond for each animal I care for, reassurance is key when it comes to any kind of relationship especially when it comes to new ones so I will always do my best to ensure the owner and pet are both happy.
About: I've rescued and raised around 20 cats, multiple chickens, dogs, rats, and even a turtle!! I love all kinds of animals and I strongly cherish the ability to help them in any way I can! Im planning on going to college next semester, so I will have a lot of time to take care of (and play with) your babies! I greatly care for animal's boundaries, and I will never put your animal in any uncomfortable situation. I don't mind going out of my way for any accommodations!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and I’m deeply committed to providing the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, handling leashed walks, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. My priority is making sure your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve recently moved back to the Portland area to finish school online, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pets! Text me and let me know how I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs! I prioritize following all instructions as their written, from feeding schedules, walks, to adhering to any medical needs your pet may have. I will provide the utmost care and respect for your home and animals to ensure everyone feels at ease.
About: My name is Anna, I'm 29 years old, and I love all animals. My favorites would be dogs and cats! They are worth having someone who cares about them to watch over them while their family is away, and I can provide that for them. I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid, as well as many experiences watching friends’ pets, so I have quite a bit of experience. Know that your own baby would be spoiled and taken amazing care of with me! I would so enjoy taking care of your dog(s). I have a friendly, playful dog who would love to have company at my house during doggy day care or boarding stays. I offer daycare and boarding in my apartment, and I also do pet sitting in your home, or drop in visits as needed. I am also available for dog walking. I’m currently taking college classes online, so my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention all throughout the day! I typically give tons of pets and cuddles if they want them, my priority is their comfort and happiness while they’re here. I live in a ground floor apartment with quick access to outside, so I can take your pup potty plenty of times easily. Dogs are allowed on furniture, they are part of the family while they’re here! I never leave them alone, if I have to leave (which is rare, I try to plan my errands around my dog schedule) I will take them with me in the car, or crate them, whatever works best for you and your dog! My own dog, Max, loves new and familiar dog friends coming over. He likes to play with other dogs, but he’s pretty gentle and mostly likes to play tug and fetch. He loves keeping other dogs company and just being their friend, so your dog won’t be lonely!

About: From middle school to college, my family cared for a sweet rescue pup named Ginger! I cuddled with her as often as I could, played music for her, and took her on walks to chase rabbits. Nowadays I live with an adorable cat aptly named Kitty (who's napping against my leg as I type this)! She's my landlady's pet; I look after Kitty every time I'm alone in the house, and Kitty always brightens up my day. :)) I want to learn more about different pet personalities and how to care for them with the respect they deserve. I keep my eye out for unique behaviors and body language quirks, and I'm always game for playtime to help keep their minds and bodies enriched. If your pet likes music, let me know and I'll bring my flute or cello over to entertain them! As a recent college grad, I've got an early morning part-time retail job and am in the midst of applying for a second daytime gig. I anticipate having some afternoons and evenings free! I treat home visits like a peaceful hike in the woods - leave no trace, and enjoy the company! I don't go poking and prodding around unless instructed to. I DO give lots of head pats and scritches if pets want them! I'm careful to refrain from over- and under-feeding pets, and I'm always open to hearing what I can do to improve in any area of pet care. If you'd like photos or videos of your pet(s) from my visits, I'll happily oblige!

About: Raised with a lifelong love for animals, I bring patience, compassion, and extra love and attention to every pet I care for. I treat every furry friend like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Since I can manage my coursework from home, I’m able to work pet walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting into my daily routine. I can be flexible with scheduling and work around your pet’s needs and routines to provide consistent, loving care and attention. I provide pet sitting exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
We had an extended vacation and they took great care of our two cats while we were gone. Our kitties were happy and well-fed thanks to their care! I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for drop-in visits and look forward to using them again in the future.

Great experience for both me and my two cats! I received consistent updates with photos and notes and the boys were happy and healthy upon my return. Theresa was great with them and even my (anticipated) shyer cat was spent time out, eating, and playing confidently!

Theresa did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Daisy while I was away for a couple of weeks. Theresa made sure Daisy had plenty of play time everyday and that her essentials were taken care of. She even went above and beyond, taking in a package and making sure my reptiles' heating lamps stayed on! There were also plenty of cute, daily pictures and even some videos! No complaints at all, I would absolutely book with her again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
