Pet Sitting Lents

“Ann is a senior cat whisperer!! She took wonderful care of our two senior cats who have many medication needs and eating trickiness. She sent daily updates with pictures and text to let us know how things were going. We felt lucky to have her help and would definitely ask her to watch them again. Thanks ann!!”

“Maddy was absolutely wonderful. Was extremely attentive to the quarks and needs of our two senior cats. Gave them their daily medication and reassuring updates. We would use her services again in a heartbeat.”

“Raven was awesome and so helpful with my pup. We did an introduction and went over what I needed for the day. I knew right away we were in good hands.”

About: I've had cats and dogs of my own since childhood, when I was given responsibility from a young age to feed and care for them. In adulthood, that experience has continued by looking after the homes and pets of my friends whenever they are away. Whether they be large old dogs, small scrappy pups, or asthmatic cats that need administered medication, in houses or apartments, I've got these experiences to pull from, and look forward to making new ones! I work full-time from 8:30am - 5pm on weekdays. I have weekends off. I'm happy to spend as much time as needed with your pet in my available time! I will discuss with you and ask for written instructions on the details of the care routine your pet(s) are used to and what they require to remain happy and healthy in my care! In addition, my philosophy while house-sitting is to leave the space looking as tidy as it did before I arrived. I'm clean and considerate of other people's spaces.

“Raphael was responsive and flexible for my needs. He was able to change the time of his drop in on the same day to meet my needs - which I greatly appreciated! He was sweet with my pups and I will definitely book him again when I have a need.”

About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.

“ChristyLynn was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request. She was great with the dogs, they sense right away if someone is a dog person and she definitely is. She asked if it was ok for her girls to come for an evening visit and the dogs loved that. Great communication and appreciated the pics. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

“The single best experience we've had with a pet sitter, on or off Rover. Kay is punctual, communicative, and attentive. They also send the best Rover cards! From first till last visit, we felt completely assured that our cat was getting good attention on top of being well taken care of—a load off when traveling. Thanks, Kay!”

“Mary was amazing! This was the first time she did a drop in for my kitty - she showed up right on time and did everything I asked her to! Finding a trustworthy sitter can be hard so I’m happy to have found her and I know my cat feels the same. Would definitely love to have Mary check in on my girl again 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you!!😊”

About: What sets me apart is that I don't just enjoy being around dogs, I genuinely understand them. I have experience with both pet sitting and training, which means I'm comfortable working with puppies who are still learning the ropes, adult dogs with established routines, and seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. I'm attentive to behavior, energy levels, and body language, and I enjoy helping reinforce good habits while keeping pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog wants an adventure, a game of fetch, a structured walk, or simply someone to sit quietly with them, I meet them where they are. Most of all, I treat every animal as an individual. My goal isn't just to watch your pet. It's to make sure they're happy, well cared for, and excited to see me again. I'm self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to build my day around the pets I'm caring for. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and honestly, it's just as much a source of joy and stress relief for me as it is a part-time way to earn a little extra spending money. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality and routine. Some dogs want to play, some want to explore, and some just want a buddy to hang out with. I'm happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I believe pets do best when their routine stays as normal as possible, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and personality. Whether I'm caring for them in their home or mine, my focus is on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I also have experience with basic training and behavior reinforcement, so I'm happy to maintain any commands, boundaries, or routines you're already working on. For puppies, that may mean consistency and structure. For senior pets, it often means patience, comfort, and a little extra attention. Every animal is different. Some want an adventure, some want a cuddle buddy, and some just want someone reliable to keep their world feeling normal until their family gets home. That's the approach I bring to every pet I care for.

“I could not wish for a better person to entrust the care of my best cat friend to. So much so that Jayne has been my cat's only caregiver when I have had to be gone. Jayne always puts Mouse's (my cat) needs first providing her active playtime, affection, and following her well established routine. Jayne provides me with a narrative of each visit that makes me feel like I am right there.Her professionalism combined with her true love and appreciation of animals makes her the best!”

“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”

Katelyn L.

“Thank you for being there when we need you - the boys seem to enjoy their time with you. I'm sure we will be rebooking with you again before long.”

Chance C.

“Melinda has a gift. Our dog is very shy and he took to her right away. She sent us a pic of her playing with our kitten. Melinda is a warm, gentle person and we felt very confident leaving our pets in her care. We will be having her sit for us frequently in the future.”

Kelly H.

“Stayed extra long to make friends with my nervous orange tabby! Went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Even had to play an impromptu game of hide and seek with him when he was hidden away. Truly appreciate how Karly really cared about my sensitive baby, Chonky. And jumped in when other care from a friend fell through. Thank you! Will definitely book again!”

Rachel L.

“Kena did a great job at checking in on my cats while I was out of town. She communicated well and sent updates each day. I would definitely book again in the future!”

Janelle C.

“This was my second time using Melanie to look in on my cat. She has managed to establish a great relationship with my normally shy cat. I love that I get play time photos and a daily recap. I would highly recommend Melanie.”

Kathy M.

“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”

Hannah Noel N.

“Chelsea is super responsive and such a great sitter! I can tell my lil cat has loved every visit. It’s been great having Chelsea, especially with a long term trip. I’ve already booked again! 10/10 recommend”
