“Our cat, Mittens, walked into our lives two months ago. She was a stray and her personality has proven to be difficult for all who know her. She has two modes, friendly and cuddly or violent. After scratching our nine year old neighbor who was trying to watch her while we were out of town as well as an adult neighbor who was also trying to help, I contacted Andrew to see if he could take over. Andrew was able to understand our complicated kitty and did a great job caring for her while we were gone. Mittens adored her time with Andrew, and minimized her attacks under his care. He spent time getting to know her and playing with her. He brought toys and cuddles. He offered helpful tips and resources for taming our spicy feline. I hope that Andrew is available when we next go out of town. I also hope that our spicy stray calms down. Thank you Andrew for making our time away one thousand times less stressful.”
“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”
“Pam was great at conducting drop-ins for my cat. She was super communicative and sent a lot of pictures and updates! She really made me feel at ease while away from home. Thanks Pam!”
“Eliza was a pleasant delight from beginning (meet and greet) to the end. She left my home a little cleaner (eg dishes) than what it was when I left for a long weekend. She sent sweet pictures of my sweet kitty daily and was easily accessible. I believe myself to be a good judge of character. I can't say enough good things about Eliza’s help. I'm fairly picky and felt very secure with her taking care of my home and cat. I will ask for her services again and give her a ten out of ten overall rating. Ive already left a cash tip for outstanding job!”
“Came home, once again, to happy kitties. Thank you, Andrea, for the great communication, adorable pictures and for taking such good care of my babies. I appreciate you!”
About: I have over twenty years experience caring for not only dogs: but also speciality animals such as horses and reptiles. I have a vet assisting degree, and security experience. I am familiar with licensing and bonding, animal behavior and various medications - including but not limited to insulin injections, and I am licensed with the state of IL to practice security. Not only am I reliable, but I am an experieneced and safe option while you’re away. I live on a five acre farm with horses, cats, dogs, and other various animals. I believe animals are family. I have a section of the house for cats, and one for dogs. The cats have access to the dog room, but can easily be cut off from entrance. My home, and habits, are very safe and organized. I work and network with my husband and family. There is always someone available! All animals are considered family to us! Please take special note that when booking for you animal companions to stay at our home, we are not a boarding center, we are a personal home setting. In order to ensure the best success with this arrangement, a visit to your home where your dog is comfortable and not stressed is required before visiting our place of residence. This gives us important insight on your animals natural behaviors to ensure the best action/sitting experience not only for us - but especially for your animals. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.
“I booked Stephanie for a pet sit short notice and my cat needed to be on net new meds. Stephanie was able to help! Such a relief to have a petsitter like her available in my town”
“Keri won over my grumpy dog who doesn’t like everyone! Keri was on time and did everything I asked and more. I’m definitely going to book again for drop in visits so my dogs aren’t alone for the whole work day.”
“Maria is my hero. She really saved the day for me. She took excellent care of George and kept him safe while I was at work. She is professional and put me at ease the minute she walked in the door. I felt I could trust her with my baby almost immediately. She definitely has George’s stamp approval too! He looked happy and cozy when I arrived home. Thank you Maria ! Our pets are like kids and it feels good having someone I can trust to take care of him.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and started caring for dogs when I was just 11. Every pet I meet feels like an extension of my own furry family. I’ve had the joy of raising both playful puppies and comforting senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I bring patience, compassion, and attention to detail to every pet I care for, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. As a full-time accounting student, I thrive when I have a full, productive schedule — and spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I always make sure to dedicate time to give animals the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whenever possible, I also enjoy volunteering at special events with the Oregon Humane Society, which has only deepened my passion for working with animals and making them feel safe and happy. I’m able to give my full attention and extra love to the pets I care for. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, comfort, and creating a calm environment where pets feel at ease. I’m fortunate to live in a friendly community with plenty of beautiful walking spots perfect for outdoor time. I treat every home with great respect and always aim to leave spaces even tidier than I found them, ensuring peace of mind for pet parents while they’re away.
“I had a great experience working with Akaila! She did daily visits for our cat and also looked after our exotic pets. All the pets were happy and the house clean when we returned. It was a great comfort knowing the pets were in good hands while we were so far away for the week.”
“April was amazing watching our two cat boys for most of the week. Although they are wary with strangers, April was patient and won the trust of at least one of them (while the other was definitely getting closer to being interested!). This was one of the first times that I had left the boys alone for longer than a few hours, and with April and her check-ins and photos, I was very happy and comfortable with them in her care!”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter. I felt she got it covered very easily while we were gone. Great communication as for us it was the first time using rover and you learn to trust that everything is going to be okay which it was. We came back and our cats were on great spirit.I highly recommend Kayla and will book her again for future trips. Thx ?”

I can also offer drop-in services to check on your dog, refresh their water, feed them, or provide some playtime in your absence.
