“Nicole did great! She helped us out by being available last minute - after our original pet care fell through. Tim (our yellow lab) really seemed to love and have fun with her :) She was great at communicating and reaching out when she had questions. I loved all the pictures she sent. Would book again!”

“Sonia is fantastic! She’s very professional and always on time. She takes such wonderful care of our dog (he’s always so excited to see her!) and she sends daily updates and pictures, which we absolutely love! We will definitely rebook with Sonia for future needs!”

“Sierra was amazing! She was very responsive and took great care of our cat. She checked in whenever questions arose and was able to make my shy cat feel comfortable and form a bond. I highly recommend Sierra and can't wait to book her again!”

About: I have been caring for all kinds of furry friends from dogs, cats, hamsters and rats since I was a kid! I also have experience with fish and hermit crabs. I am a high energy and active person who can handle a range of pet energies, which can include taking pets on long walks or short runs. I am starting graduate school in September. I will be most busy from 9/23-9/27, so I am available after 5pm that week for dog walks or home visits. My class schedule is: Mon. 8-10am, 4-7pm. Tue/Thu. 8-10am, 2-3:30pm. Wed. 8-10am, 4-5:30pm. Fri. Work 9-3. I am free outside of the hours listed. Safety is my number one priority. I have extensive outdoor first aid training and have worked in high risk environments, so I apply those same safety precautions to all situations. A peaceful environment is very important to me and my pets. I want to make sure that they can be at ease as often as possible. Learning and obeying commands comes easier in a relaxed space.
About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“Jennifer was available at fairly short notice, and cared well for our cat during drop-in visits, including a few extras like leaving lights on and closing the curtains, which felt very considerate.”
