Dog Sitting Gaston

“Erica and her daughter were super helpful when I was in a bind finding care for my lab on short notice. She was even willing to drive a nice distance to care for him and took really nice, professional looking photos of him. It was such an added bonus! It made me smile while I was at work, looking at his photo, and how happy he was with them! Made me feel comfort with such wonderful people in my home. Will definitely be booking Erica again! Wonderful with dogs!”

About: Hello! My name is Allison, and I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, puppies, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I grew up in a family that owned multiple pet stores, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care from a young age. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me and will get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles! 🤎 I’m currently available full-time, including weekdays and weekends 😊 I’m home most of the day, so pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and time to play or relax. I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, but otherwise they’re welcome to roam the house and enjoy time in the backyard. I’m flexible and always try to follow each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home! 🐾 I have a fully fenced in large backyard that your pet can explore! My house has plenty of space for your pet to stretch out and make themselves feel at home. I also live near a large dog park!

“I really appreciate Brody and all of his professionalism. He took great care of Will. Following my instructions and providing me great updates. I recommend using Brody and hope to book with him again in the future.”

About: IMPORTANT: I will be going back to school Sept 12, no longer available for rover. I think what sets me apart is the fact that I am not just doing this as a side hustle, but as a lifestyle. Animals are my passion, and I want my career to be surrounded by animals. I'm studying animal science, where a big part of my day-to-day life is learning about animals. Animals play a big role in my day-to-day life, ensuring their safety, happiness, and overall well-being. My family has a black lab who is very friendly and absolutely loves swimming and the outdoors. We give a lot of our time to him. We also have a cat that is scared of a lot, but ultimately friendly. I try to get dogs active outside and enjoying life rather than just sitting around. Even if it's just staying inside, I value giving them the attention and love they need as well, instead of just leaving them be. I make sure they go outside to do their business and get as much fresh air as possible.

About: PLEASE READ: I currently work in McMinnville so while I am able to pet sit, unless you live within 15 minutes of McMinnville, I will be unable to let animals out in the middle of the day. I've been caring for friends and family's pets for 6 years. I like keeping our furry friends on their schedule and company while loved ones are away. I'm comfortable giving medication and taking care of senior pets. I'm detail oriented and am happy to give status updated as needed. I'd love the chance to care for your pets like they were one of mine. I currently work full time so while I am able to pet sit and do walks, it would need to be close enough to do on my hour lunch break., Currently I prefer to care for pets at their own home, as I feel that being in the same environment helps being with a new person

About: I am experienced at caring for small to medium sized dogs, and have experience walking large dogs. I love to play, cuddle dogs, and take them on long walks. I volunteered for a few months at the shelter cleaning cages and taking small dogs out to walk and play. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, allowing me to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I am adaptable and can adjust to your pet's specific needs. I am able to travel or stay at your home to watch your pets. I am serious about safety and keeping doors locked at all times. I like to keep the home clean, especially for your return.

“Hanna was fantastic with our dog. He seemed at ease and happy, and Hanna was very communicative the whole time. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years now locally before joining Rover. I have done overnight care as well as just walks/drop-ins multiple times. I have expertise in all sizes from small to large pets as well. My schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide care to pets regularly, whether it's early morning or afternoon to night. My schedule allows me to provide assistance whenever needed for the pet-owner! Since I have two dashing St Bernards at home, my family and I normally feed them breakfast & dinner, and take them on walks frequently. In clients home, I intend to showcase the same love to their cutie animal during drop-ins or long period stays.

About: I am dedicated to the well-being of your pet. I pay attention to detail and will follow your pet's plan to ensure their safety while in my care. I have a full-time job and am typically unavailable between 7am-4pm during the week. I am available most weekends to walk or care for your fur babies. Starting mid-June, I will have more availability during the day. I care for pets by following the plan provided by the owner. I provide time for play, exercise, and rest. When in my care, your pet is my top priority!

“I would definitely recommend Brittny, and hire her again to watch my cats. She came over to visit my two shy cats twice a day for nearly two weeks when I was out of town. I know how much patience it required because I had recently adopted them, and it took a long time for them to even come out from under the bed for me. Well, by the last few days, the cats came to love Brittny, and playing with her when she visited. Gave me peace of mind to know they were in good hands while I traveled.”

About: I did off leash packs hikes for a few years with up to 18 dogs, working first hand with a trainer. I have Dog daycare experience. I worked alone with up to 22 dogs with safety being the biggest priority. I am able to ready a dogs body language and act accordingly, along with redirection and distraction. Knowledge with both positive training and E collar training. I respect everyone’s choices with how they train and willing to work with it. My work schedule is not 5 days a week so I have a lot of down time I want to fill with helping dogs get out more and have some fun adventures. Or check in with some loving kitties that are in need of some attention I treat others animals and homes how I would want mine to be treated. I respect boundaries and understand homes are safe spaces and should be treated as such

“Talon was a thorough pet sitter. She was detailed in ensuring the hygiene, activity, food/drink, and med needs of eat dog and cat. In addition to other additional pet care instructions, she kept me updated of the pets’ health status and that their needs were being met. She asked questions when she didn’t know something clearly and ensured my home was safe and secure. Thank you for the Meet and Greet and for the excellent care!”

About: I understand an animals body language well and absolutely adore them. Making your pet feel special and thoroughly played with is my specialty and the joy goes both ways! I am very responsible when it comes to potty breaks, feeding and (like I’ve mentioned) giving attention! I’ve only ever had one small dog growing up, but am always gravitating towards animals when I have the chance—Hence this job! I lived with my sister and her 4 cats for 2 years and took care of them the entire time—litter box cleaning, feeding, bathing, etc. For 4 years I took care of 2 giant great pyrenees, akbash, and anatolian shepherd mixes who were a lot of work. That being said, if there is anything unique with your animal I am determined to learn and am passionate about it! At the end of the day my goal is to make them feel loved. I work full time and my only true day off is Monday and I will have one other day off (either Tuesdays or Thursdays) on days I work I’m usually done by 5pm—I can always switch around my schedule if I know ahead of time! Currently my roommates have an indoor cat that I will play with and give treats to. Unfortunately, I would not be able to bring your pet inside my home. One of the main reasons I want to pet sit is so I can be with animals since I don’t have the space or recourses for them!

About: Hi! My name is Carmen Stephens, I am a rising junior at the University of Michigan and home for the summer in Gaston, OR. I am very responsible and have been taking care of animals since I can remember, from rats, cats, dogs, to horses. I helped train both of my family's dogs from puppies and play a role in their daily care. I have experience cat and dog sitting, and managing anxious dogs. I owned a horse in the past which has given me additional experience managing and caring for animals. I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan but home for the summer. I love animals and would be delighted to play a role in your sweet pets' care. I have lots of openings for walks and drop in visits every day of the week and can accommodate house sitting as well. Please let me know if you have any questions about myself that would make you more comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I am offering care in client homes (house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking). I will follow all provided instructions and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you are away.

About: Although I am new to rover, I am an experienced lifelong pet owner and excited to offer my services as a dog sitter. Your dog will not only receive care but also love and affection. My playful approach allows me to connect with dogs on a deeper level creating trust and ensuring they feel secure and loved while you are away. Since I am retired, I can structure my day around your pets existing schedule. Providing regular bathroom breaks, daily walks and playful time is essential. I want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and keep to their usual routine. I'll keep you up to date with photos and quick notes to ensure your peace of mind. I follow the instructions you provide so your furry friend stays in routine and is comfortable. I'm mindful of potty breaks and each dogs personality and energy level so I can adjust our activities to best suit their needs. I have a very large completely fenced yard to play in and am happy to come to your home if that is where your pet happiest.

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: 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!
