“Arianna has been so great for drop in visits for our puppy. She has followed all our instructions, been great at communicating and sending pictures, and has gone above and beyond by even working on training exercises during her visits. Thank you Arianna!”


2. Leslie C.

3. Kristen G.
“Kristen has watched my pets before, and she’s amazing! She’s super caring, reliable, and totally gets it—especially if you see your pet as family. I always felt at ease knowing they were in her hands. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their sitter!”


4. Jaime M.

“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”


5. Emma G.

“Took excellent care of my senior pet, Sparkle giving medication each evening, and providing valuable time letting Sparkle to go outside and roam the backyard; allowing time for Sparkle to decided to outside or stay inside.”


6. Beth W.

“Beth provided outstanding care, in the form of 2 drop-in visits per day, while I was on a trip. The update notes and pictures that Beth shared with me made it obvious my cat was very comfortable with Beth during these visits. I too, was very comfortable with Beth visiting my cat. My cat is finicky around most people but she came accepted Beth immediately. I will try to hire Beth next time I go out of town.”

8. Elizabeth H.
About: I have cared for animals since I was little and started my own pet sitting business. I love animals and have had pets my whole life. I currently work at a winery and help care for our cat and guardian dogs (we have sheep and chickens too!) I am available in the early mornings before 8am, evenings after work after 5 and on the weekends. I work full time during the week. I will be respectful of your home and maintain a safe environment for your pet while showing them the love and attention that they deserve!


9. Ashley H.
“Ashley is one of the few I would trust with my fur babies. Responsible, caring, and my dogs love her. I would definitely recommend her for sitting your furry family members.”


10. Stefanie M.
“I found Stefanie on Rover.com when I was absolutely desperate. I had agreed to pet sit for a friend not realizing that her dog was huge and not trained at all. I LOVE dogs, but this one was too much for me to handle and had been a rescue so was completely insecure. Stefanie rescued me!!! She took "Buster" for the remaining 4 days, she sent me daily updates and pictures and had no issues with him at all. She has trained two of her own dogs so knew exactly how to handle such an unruly and insecure dog. I would use Stefanie for our dog, Champ in a heartbeat! You won't find anyone better!!”


11. Sarah R.

“Thank you!! :)”


12. Pamela H.
“Pam possesses an exceptional affinity for animals and has been actively engaged in animal husbandry from a young age, gaining extensive experience through raising sheep, chicken, pigs and caring for cats and dogs throughout her life. She is a highly knowledgeable resource for animal-related inquiries, demonstrating a remarkable connection with animals that allows her to understand your pets needs intuitively. Pam's expertise encompasses a range of subjects, including animal first aid and the administration of both over-the-counter and prescription medications. Pam has provided support to numerous species of mothers during the birthing process. She has participated in both planned and emergency animal rescue operations across various species and is actively engaged in nonprofit events that benefit both animals and humans. Additionally, she contributes her skills, time, and resources from her company, "Howard Family Painting and More", to support various animal rescues and other nonprofit organizations. She is dependable and flexible in accommodating various scheduling requirements for services such as drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and other animal care needs. Her insights and professionalism make her an invaluable asset in the field of animal care. She has personal pets, including goats and cats, that she cares for deeply. Recently, she experienced the loss of her dog, which has given her a profound understanding of the grieving process. As a result, she can truly empathize with individuals navigating similar experiences of loss. Pam has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and affection for my pets, as well as for those of many friends. If you are seeking someone who will provide dedicated and attentive care for your animal, I highly recommend Pam.”


13. Sierra D.
“Sierra was WONDERFUL with my dog! She showed up right when we needed her to and took great care of our pup. She took her on a nice long walk and made she sure she had plenty of water along the way. She kept our dog entertained and active the whole time which is what our dog needs. She stuck around and played with her inside and simply kept her company too! We appreciate the care that Sierra took to treat our dog like she was her own and it showed. Our dog loves her and is always excited when she gets to get hang out with her friend. We couldn't recommend Sierra enough as a pet a sitter and companion to your pets!”

About: I’m young but I’ve had a lifetime of experience dealing with many types of animals. I as a child grew up with dogs. such as pit bulls, boxers, french bull dogs, and mixed breeds. Now in my life I share 4 family dogs, 1 cat, and 1 tortoises. Currently our 4 dogs are special needs rescues! 1 is from the dog and cat meat trade in Cambodia, and the other 3 are rescued from the Chinese testing labs, where they were tested on for surgical procedures, along with household products for 4 years each. One is blind from the the testing. If you glance at my profile picture you can see one of them named Deogie, a furless Chinese crescent. I would love to know your furry family members! Hoping to play with them on our walks and adventures. 🐾 I personally administer medications to 3 of our dogs and our eldery cat, that are special needs. I work at Reynolds Doggy Daycare Resort In McMinnville Oregon as a kennel technician. I work with all shape, sizes, and breed of dogs for hours in a day. I watch 20 dogs at once, I hydrate them, keep them entertained, and clean up after them! I’ve been trained in experience and dog behavior. Very qualified to handle any situation and dog. :) Always walking with harness and leashes with attached water. I also make sure the dogs are compatible with walking together. I also love spending time with our russian tortoise.

“We had a lovely experience with Britney! She came to our house to look after our two dogs for a very last minute trip we took. Even on short notice she was prompt to reply to us and came over same day! We were very happy with the attention and care she showed our dogs. We will definitely be using her again!”

19. Loghan M.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets throughout my life. This has included cats and dogs mostly! I have preformed walks, feeding and making sure the pet has water and giving out plenty of love and pets! I have dog walked, and done drop in visits for one family in the last year which included 2 cats and one hedgehog! I would love to have a dog of my own but don’t have the time due to my job. I can help walk on weekends and week nights after 5pm! I make sure to spend time with and take great care with the animals. I love dogs and all other animals so much and know how important they are to people, so I extend that same love.


20. Jeffrey B.
“I have the utmost confidence in Jeffrey as a pet sitter. I've yet to see a dog that has not responded to his positive energy & confidence, even when first greeting them. I've watched him raise his own dog from a puppy. She is a loving, affectionate, obedient girl who absolutely adores him. He takes her to dog parks & socializes her regularly. She loves to play with new friends.”
