“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

“Sheila was communicative and responsive. She was able to make last minute schedule adjustments and did amazing with my dog- it didn’t take long for him to warm up to her and give her lots of love and kisses! I’d use her again and recommend her to others.”

“Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Jennifer was very attentive to all the instructions that were left and went above and beyond in monitoring my cat's litter and more. Great communication, friendly, and awesome with animals!”

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: Aside from my professional history as a wildlife biologist and former Oregon Zoo keeper I am a life long lover of dogs, cats, and all animals. I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails. I'm in shape to handle any sized dog in the event of aggressive leash pulling or needing to lift a dog in case of emergency. I bring professional animal handing experience and an innate understanding and empathy towards animals. Recently furloughed Government wildlife biologist, I am currently available 24/7 if needed. I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.
“Excellent dog drop-in caregiver! Went above and beyond—came over for a meet and greet, sent lots of photos and clearly spent some quality time with the pups, dealt smoothly with an unexpected bathroom accident when my pup got overexcited, and was super gracious and flexible when I asked if she’d be up for a slight schedule change. Will definitely hire again and 110% recommend!”

“Nicole did a great job with our mini Aussie, he is really shy around new people and she spent time with him getting him to warm up to her. We will definitely use her again”

“Claire was phenomenal watching my kitties for two weeks! She sent me many photos and videos, got the mail, cleaned cat litter, notified me they were low on food and was extremely responsive. If I wasn’t moving I’d hire her every time! She also gave my cat medicated ear drops and kept me updated on them. Thanks so much Claire!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and dogs & got my first taste of hands-on pet care when I got my sweet pup for my 8th birthday. Fast forward, I now have the privilege of loving that same dog’s two puppies (who are now 10 years old). I work from home and walk my girls every 2-3 hours. I can exercise high energy dogs or make walks shorter and easier for senior pups. I’m very affectionate and love cuddly pups and kitties. I’m happy to tailor care to your animal’s needs & love them like my own! I’m also comfortable administering medications. I work from home full time so pet care is easy and flexible for me. I walk my girls every 2-3 hours and will be happy to do the same for your pup. Whenever I do leave, I try not to be gone for more than 4 hours to ensure no one is left alone for too long. I live in a two bedroom townhouse with a small front yard for quick potty breaks. The neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. My two dogs are 10 year old chihuahuas and are very relaxed, friendly, and lazy (they love to sleep all day). While caring for your baby, I can provide separation if needed or preferred, or if it’s comfortable for you, everyone can happily co-exist. I also have a small crate available if needed at any time. I work from home and am home with my pets all day. I also have a living room camera to check on the babies whenever we are out of the house. I can use the two-way audio & microphone to talk to them with this. :)
“Provided very detailed daily little updates for each of our pets. Ensured they had clean boxes and water every night. Autumn brushed my kitties and got them out of their shells which I was not anticipating. Excellent cat sitter, will definitely book Autumn again!”

About: Molly, my 10-year-old Border Collie-Beagle mix, has been my girl since she was just 6 weeks old — and honestly, caring for her has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We walk about 7 miles together every single day, so I take pet care seriously. She has my whole heart, and so does every animal I’ve ever cared for. Over the years I’ve looked after lots of dogs and cats, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality — figuring out what makes them feel safe, what gets their tail wagging, and how to give them exactly the kind of care they need. Every animal is different and they all deserve to be treated that way! When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re being loved on. I know how much it means to trust someone with your bebe, and I genuinely don’t take that lightly. Bonus: I’m a portrait photographer and nothing makes me happier than documenting a perfect pet — just say the word! 📸 I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and presence to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests — I know life doesn’t always give you a heads up! For drop-in visits, I treat your home and your pet’s routine with the utmost respect — I follow your instructions to a T and make sure your bebe feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I have a dog of my own, Molly, who has been well socialized her whole life, and I approach every pet’s environment with the same care and attentiveness I bring to hers.
About: Hello, I’m Fran—a devoted dog lover and experienced guardian offering a highly personalized, in-home care experience for a select few dogs at a time. When you’re away, I offer your dog more than just care—I provide a true holiday of their own. Each dog is welcomed into a calm, thoughtfully held environment where they are not just looked after, but genuinely known, understood, and cherished. I believe we don’t own our pets—we’re entrusted with them. My role is to ensure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and deeply loved, with a sense of ease and belonging. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each one arrives with their own story and personality, and it’s a joy to watch them settle in, open up, and truly thrive. Because I work with a limited number of families, I’m able to offer an experience that is unhurried, intuitive, and deeply personal—something both dogs and their people can feel completely at ease with. If you’re seeking a more intentional, personalized experience for your dog, I invite you to get in touch and explore availability. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience, We’ve fostered more than 20 dogs since 2020 and spent 3 years volunteering at a dog rescue, focusing on training, exercise, and support for both reactive and rescue dogs. We also have two cattle dogs and specialize in positive, consistent puppy training. We have two cats as well. I (Zach) work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I (Janexis) I'm a Teacher and I'm available after 4pm and weekends. One of dog required weekly shots, so we have experience administering injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow a structured, consistent routine tailored to each pet’s needs. We use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and well-being. We're experienced with crate-trained dogs, but we’re also more than happy to share the couch or bed with your furry companion, just like home. Our goal is to maintain your pet’s routine while providing a loving, stress-free environment in your absence.
Hough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Felicia definitely has a special touch and my cat’s noticed. I think they were spoiled and I’m happy and I know both boys were too. We communicated and met in person preemptive to my vacation…actually a few times, with exchange of the house key and care instructions. She kept in contact with me everyday and made sure I was aware of everything going on with the animals, plus she even cared for my trash cans, which was real convenient. The cans were happy too ;-) 5 stars for Felicia because she has earned it, and earned my trust.

Jessica is a wonderful cat sitter, solid communicator, and great cat photographer! We so appreciated the care she put into taking care of our furry family members, checking in on our travel plans, and the updates/photos she shared with us so we could feel close with them while we traveled. ♥️

Michelle was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. My cat is very shy, and she somehow managed to make him feel comfortable with her, which is impressive all by itself! She was patient, caring, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my cat again.

My girls and I love Megan! She takes such good care of my babies and is excellent at communication. I never feel like I have to worry when im away because she asks any necessary clarifying questions and spoils them with walks and affection! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!

Arlene was the angel that came when I needed her. A week before traveling for Christmas, my cat developed a UTI and needed medication. My cat is standoffish and I was worried about someone giving her the antibiotics. Arlene was communicative and was able to get through most of the medication. Teetee was hiding most of the time, so it was no easy feat! She is now back to normal and doing great!
