House Sitting Forest Grove

“Katelyn did a great job house sitting for our three cats and one dog! We got frequent updates and pictures. The house was left as clean as we had left it. She really put us at ease while we were out of town!”

Nicole & Jessicah L.

“Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!”

“Richard saved us over the holidays on short notice. Our pups had a great time with his pack and we felt that they were in good hands. Thank you!”

“Makala is everything you want in a pet-sitter. Prompt to respond, extremely accommodating on hours and way underpriced given her experience and expertise. More importantly than all these things, however, is that Rover is not a side hustle for her so much as a natural extension of her every day. She's professionally trained to care for others' pets and so clearly enjoys doing so. Speaking from my experience, she's very good at it, too.”

Greg R.

“Laura was great. Our pets were at ease with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Heather G.

“Kacy was phenomenal with a high energy dog. Her communication was superb. She showed the dog such love and care. Will definitely be reaching out for her services again!”

Sydnie M.

“Laurie was amazing with out animals (dogs and cat). She took wonderful care of our fur babies and home. Excellent communication throughout our trip. Highly recommend! We plan to rebook in the future whenever possible.”

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in downtown Pittsburgh during the weekdays, with the flexibility to work remotely at least one day per week and occasionally additional days as needed. I have plenty of availability throughout the week for pet sitting, including early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays, with generally full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!

“Helen was fantastic with Benny and extremely respectful of our home!! She made it easy to enjoy my travel knowing Benny was in great hands at home :) cannot recommend her enough!!!”

“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”

Ashley B.

“Kaylee was fantastic and made going away a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and very competent. She gave us regular updates and pictures which was great. I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely go to her first when we need someone we can trust with our pups.”

About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: My first best friends in life were two golden retrievers that grew up next to me. I took care of them just as much as they took care of me! I’ve never gone life without a pet until now. I now live in an apartment building that does not allow pets and I want to help you, help me! I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs all of my life! I understand that your pet is your baby and they have routine and structure And needs that need met! I want to make any time spent with your animal just as loving and as caring as you would yourself. I would love to get to know you as well as your critters. I am a hairstylist with a flexible career and work part time! My shifts are usually 5-6 hours long which is perfect time to wait for a potty break and not a moment longer. My schedule usually always start at 2pm, which leave my mornings open for activity! My communication skills and clarifying what your baby needs is my priority. While you are away from home, nothing needs to add extra stress to your animal like a lost routine. Not while you’re already gone and a stranger is stopping by! I want to ensure that my calm energy and understanding what your pet needs will be followed.

“Shyann has stayed with Gia twice now. She’s very communicative and respectful of my home. It’s nice to know I can get away and not worry about my dog getting the love and attention she needs.”

About: I’ve always had animals in my life, including dogs and cats, while maintaining a small homestead. I’m gentle, responsible, attentive, patient, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with kindness, respect, and consistency, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. My work schedule is usually early - 6a-3p, but also flexible. I’m available all weekends and holidays. I don’t need much advanced notice as my schedule can be flexible. I prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I follow your pet’s routine and instructions carefully, pay close attention to their behavior, and treat every pet with patience and kindness. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She took great care of Shorty and our house. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hello, my name is Nick and I’m a life-long dog owner (22 years) and serial animal shelter volunteer. As someone who is going through the process returning to higher education later in life, I find myself in the peculiar place of mot being able to have my own little companion! So here I am on Rover 😁 Recently, I have been involved as a puppy socialisation teacher, big dog play group facilitator, dog enrichment programming, cat socialisation and shelter medicine associate roles with the San Francisco SPCA. I have training in handling both shy / fearful and jumpy, mouthy and energetic animals. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some highly knowledgeable animal behaviour specialists, shelter medicine staff and all-round-animal lovers, who have instructed me in the power of positive behavioural approaches to animal training. In short - you can rest easy knowing that your little fur baby will be in the hands of a knowledgeable, well-trained and compassionate animal lover who is always trying to increase positive animal behaviours while developing a loving and supportive bond! My full-time job is a sports coach / fitness trainer so I’m relatively flexible during the day and required for 3 hours in the evenings to coach training sessions in person. I believe that consistency is key when it comes to quality pet care. Your animals will be used to you, your care routine and approach to care generally so I do my best to align with myself to this. That being said, I’ve been trained in a fear-free approach which aims to reduce fear, stress and anxiety by becoming aware of each animals unique disposition and subsequent triggers/stressors, removing/altering the animals immediate environment to curb any negative effects and lastly using mindful handling techniques that cater to the animals specific needs. Simply put - I’ll make sure your doggies will be happy pups whilst you’re away!

“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, providing pet care and sitting services to friends, neighbors and family. I'm the person who will immediately try to help if I find an unattended dog and make every effort to reunite the good boy or girl with their family. I'm currently between careers and looking to earn some extra money doing something I've always loved as I train for the next phase of my life. I've learned from my own dogs that consistency and routine are essential to helping them feel safe and regulated. I'll make every effort to follow your dog's usual routine and rituals to keep them feeling loved until your return.
