“Lieren has helped us care for our dog multiple times now. He seems so content when we get home. We love her attention and care for him and appreciate all of the good communication. Thanks, Lieren!”
“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! :)”
“Marceline is a wonderful pet sitter! She was reliable and left great notes/photos during her visits. I would definitely work with her again or refer others to work with her. My cats were happy and well cared for. ☺️”
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.
About: I grew up with a dog as well as having two dogs in my adult life. I have experience with all size dogs with different needs and temperaments. I'm definitely a cuddly, caring, ready to have her face-licked dog lover! I enjoy long walks, I usually walk my own dog 2-3 times a day for a total of about 3 miles. As far as cats I have experience with indoor and outdoor cats, cuddly cats and cats that prefer to be left alone, I love to play and cuddle and meet the needs whatever they are! For both dogs and cats I am good with routines, medications, dietary needs, you name it! **Right now I have the capacity to take one regular drop in/walk 1-2x a week Monday-Friday in Milwaukie or Oak Grove. Otherwise I am happy to fill in if you’re a regular walker is unavailable or you are looking for more of a one off visit!** I am a Real Estate Agent with a flexible schedule. I generally work from home and can plan my work schedule around your pet's needs! As far as being in your home, as a Realtor I'm very used to ensuring everything is locked up and that homes are left the way they are found! I am also used to walking large/strong dogs no problem.
“Corinne is so wonderful with Ellie! Really puts me at ease knowing Ellie is so well cared for. Corinne communicates very well before each visit, during and get updates after with photos and how things went. I can’t thank you enough for everything! :)”
“Thank you so much! Sorry I was MIA, no service in the mountains, normally I communicate better. The boys were very happy to have their snacks and a clean box, I had a great time away because I knew they were well cared for.”
“Natalie was wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and I felt completely comfortable with her care. I came home to a very happy dog! She gave me regular updates, was on time for everything, and took great notes about what my dog’s needs were. I would absolutely have her watch my dog again!”
“Rachel we awesome! She helped me out of a pinch and was able to do a drop in for me last minute. She played fetch with my little guy and gave him good attention! Very happy with her communication and all went wonderful!”
“Storm came to visit and get to know my pup and kitty before our booking, asked great questions and handled everything without a hitch. Great person, great sitter, highly recommended.”
“Elizabeth took good care of dog and cat. She follwed all directions and even locked my door that was left unlocked. I will definately call her again.appreciated the texts and photos too”
About: I have dog sat for family friends my whole life. I have had a two of my own dogs. One from childhood and I got my last dog when she was 10 weeks old and she recently passed at 13 years old. I miss having her at my house dearly. I love dogs and have had experience with all ages ranges. My mom was a science teacher so I have cared for all types of animals, lizards, rodents, Chickens, ducks, you name it I have taken care of it. I have a love for all animals and am able to notice body language of dogs/cats and be a friendly loving person to all pets. I work from home, I have to leave for about 30 mins in the morning and afternoon to take my bf to work. But other than that I am at home and can easily take a dog out to my yard or refresh water etc. I have a fully fenced back yard and a cat in my house that has grown up with a dog. I have a live in boyfriend that will not be responsible for care, custody or control of any pets during any bookings. He also, loves dogs, and would be there to provide extra pets.
“Bobbi is fantastic! She’s great with our 3 dogs. One of them can be cantankerous and she was able to win him over no problem. We love the peace of mind we have knowing that she’ll drop in and let our pups play when we have long work days.”

Donna O.
“Donna was an associate of mine for over 3 years working at a dog hiking business. During that time, she formed lifelong connections with the dogs and customers. She made everyone feel safe and cared for. Donna often went above and beyond by taking the dogs for runs, caring for them when their owners were running late, picking dogs up outside of our work hours for the convenience of the customer, and watching dogs on weekends. She is always on time, does her job well, and has a special bond with animals. I believe she would be a perfect candidate for Rover and would be a good representative for the company.”

Rachel T.
“I’ve known Rachel for about 10 years, and during that time, she has consistently shown herself to be one of the most trustworthy, compassionate, and animal-loving people I know. I’ve witnessed firsthand the love and care she gave to Lily and Muffin, and I have no doubt she would make an excellent pet sitter. Rachel has a natural ability to connect with animals—even those who are shy or timid—and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing she was available to care for my pets. Her calm presence, reliability, and genuine passion for animal care make her an ideal addition to the Rover community.”
