About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
About: Growing up as a veterinarian's son, I cared for many animals with special needs, gaining a deep sense of compassion and responsibility. I administered medication, prepared special meals, and provided emotional support, many times witnessing their transformation from abandoned creatures to contented pets. My upbringing instilled a passion for animal welfare, emphasizing that every animal deserves dignity and happiness, regardless of age or health. With my flexible remote job, I can adjust my schedule to cater to your pets' needs. I'm available to feed, walk, and provide companionship to your pets throughout the day, ensuring their well-being without strict time limitations. I provide the affection care for your pets that you cannot while you are away. I honor your guidelines in your residence, treating it with the utmost respect. I'm happy to give updates about your pets and/or home via text, calls, or video chats as frequently as you desire. Your peace of mind is my priority while you're away
“Emily came to care for our young previously feral kittens shortly after we adopted them. We felt so bad leaving them but it became clear very quickly that they were in good hands. She was kind, patient and very attentive. It wasn't long before they came out from hiding and were purring in her lap. She was like the kitten whisperer! I highly recommend Emily!”
“Tay took really good care of our cats! She was very reliable and responsive, making us feel like our cats were in good hands, She also provided regular photos that we really appreciated. We plan to hire Tay the next time we need a cat-sitter and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Libby communicates great and my cats loved her. would trust her again with more babies the next time I am out of town. she communicates great and goes out of her way for their needs”
“Malia was punctual when she came over to meet my kitty before drop-ins. She communicated well prior to this meet. I’m so grateful she’s available. My kitty warmed right up to her!”
“Yahaira was wonderful. She was able to check on our cat last minute over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and we really appreciated her flexibility, quick communication, and how kind she was to talk with. We’d 100% book with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. I’m well seasoned with dogs and cats of all ages, as well as temperaments. I have experience in training pups, taking extra special care of older dogs and cats, and I’m also comfortable giving medical attention and have experience with it. Currently I’m working part time; 5 hours on Saturday and on Sunday. I also attend school online leaving me with lots of free time to hangout with your pup or cat! I give your pet lots of care and attention while keeping your home tidy; making sure to stick to their routines so that your pet is able to stay comfortable when you’re away. I make sure they are fed accordingly, have fresh water, and get all the exercise and play time they need! I also handle basic care like cleaning litter boxes, picking up after dogs, and giving medications if required.
“Laura was fantastic! She was communicative and attentive. When we were late getting home due to unforeseen circumstances, she voluntarily went by to let our pup in the house. I would highly recommend Laura to take good care of your dog!”
About: I am comfortable with all animal types and caring for their special needs. I’ve worked on a ranch so i’m fond with it all. I have experience with senior animals that need extra help, and have recently cared for puppies 1 and under. Pet care fits into my daily routine by waking up and it being the only thing on my mind. I feed my dogs then take them on a long walk to get their energy out. I play with my dogs at least 5 times a day, ending it with their special food and another walk to the park. I care for pets in my clients home the same way I would my own, with love, care, and respect. I treat the animals I care for like they’re the only thing that matters!
“We were busy with out of town wedding festivities for my daughter and Jenna made sure we didn’t have to worry about our pets for the whole weekend. She was responsible, flexible and extremely easy to communicate with.”
“I cannot recommend Clare more! She was so great with my pup, he absolutely loved his time spent with her while I was away. Clare went above and beyond to make sure my pup was receiving enough exercise daily. I had scheduled drop-in visits, and she stayed longer than the 30 minutes on multiple occasions. She was more than willing to communicate through text or the app and sent plenty of photos to keep me updated. ☆☆☆☆☆”
“I booked Maggie for a week of drop ins for my cats and received nothing but the best care for my babies. I’ll be returning for future requests and highly recommend their services. Thank you so much, Maggie!”
About: Hi my name is Aya I live in downtown Hood River in my own home with a fenced back yard. My boyfriend of 3 years and friend for over a decade lives with me but is often gone for work. Looking to help others while enjoying having a furry friend to keep me company. My little old man dog Vader passed away few years ago, he was almost 15. Had him since he was a pup and fostered many dogs at the local dog shelter in the past. My boyfriend and I are both helicopter pilots, fire fight in the summers and have most of the winters off. Majority of my time is spent at home, out in the garden or walking around the neighborhood. Come spring work starts to get busy. Rest assure if I’m watching your furry family member I will be home majority of every day working on the house being craft or out in the garden. Dog walks in my neighborhood are very safe and there’s a trail close to my house we can walk to. I am “on call” for 2 weeks every two weeks until fire season starts AND I will have annual training at some point in Feb. which is why I only have openings for one week or so at a time. I have a fenced yard with a dog door that can be closed if I leave but I usually keep it closed when I watch new dogs and definitely ones that can jump fences. My neighboorhood is very safe and I have security cameras around the perimeter and well as an alarm system.
About: I’ve had my Border Collie mixed breed since she was 8 weeks old; she’s going on 6 years and is my favorite creature in the whole world. I treat animals just like their family with love, respect, care, and safety. In addition to raising my own pup, I have lived in many households with several cats and other dogs that I assisted in the caretaking of. During high school and college in Colorado, I assisted in dog walking services and house sitting (pre-Rover times). I’m responsible, honest, and a total animal-lover. I’m a server who works part-time and mostly nights. My days are very free for playing with and walking pets! I’m your go-to gal. 💜 I will get your dog at the arranged time to provide the discussed service. Whether that is letting your dog outside to potty in their own yard and playing fetch, or going on a nice long walk, that’s up to you and our arrangement! I’m very flexible and will do what is needed for the dog and owner to both be comfortable and happy.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in college. I have formed many trusting and genuine relationships with pet owners and have a true passion for animal-care. I have provided pet care in many states including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon. I am extremely reliable and take great care in my interactions with all animals I work with. I also have experience working at “Paws and Claws” for 2 years as a support staff in the kennels, during grooming appointments, and doggy-group playtime. I absolutely love animals, and would be overjoyed to spend quality time with your beloved furry friend! I work as a full time school-based speech-language pathologist during the day, giving me great hours to spend time with your animal in the morning, after school, and in the evenings. I am available on all weekdays, as well as the weekends! I am very flexible with my time and am more than happy to be flexible with your schedule. I currently live with roommates; therefore, any animal-care I provide will be in the home of the pet-owner. I am more than happy to stay with your animal(s) in the comfort of their own home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hood River
Emily was awesome! She came over to meet our cat and see the house before our trip started, which gave us peace of mind after being able to meet her. She sent daily pictures and details of her visits, and we knew he was being very well cared for during our time away. We will definitely hope to have Emily care for our cat again in the future!
Cali has been an amazing sitter for our dogs! She communicates well with all details needed and shows up for visits on time. I always get pictures and messages about how the visit went. Cali is reliable and wonderful to work with. We will continue to book with her as our first choice whenever we can!
I recently had Shea watch both of our dogs, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. It's clear that she is a true dog lover. Shea took time to understand Yuki & Rio's routine, preferences, and quirks-which immediately put our mind at ease. Yuki is neurotic at times, and Shea took extra effort to make her comfortable. Shea provided regular updates and photos, which was appreciated. Both Rio & Yuki seemed to have a fantastic time playing, and going for walks. It's evident that shea knows how to create a fun and safe environment for dogs. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home, which speaks volumes about the care provided. I highly recommend Shea to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hood River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
