“Zoe was, again, fantastic. Turns out that one of my little chihuahuas needed to be held all weekend, and Zoe took it in stride. She let my dogs sleep on (in) her bed, which I am so grateful for. Eye drops were administered for one of my dogs. Both of the dogs love Zoe, and so do I. I recommend her highly. ~ Laurel”
“We cannot say enough good stuff about Jan and Paul! Paul stayed at our home and watched our 3 small dogs for a week. One of our dogs has special needs due to health issues and Paul was willing to work with us on a new health diagnosis and administer insulin. Another one of our dogs is highly anxious and Paul even had him eating out of his hand which took 6 months for my husband to do. We got daily updates with photos and video. Paul even chopped up a small tree that fell due to snow and wind and sharpened our knives lol. Basically went above and beyond what would be expected and we cannot thank them enough.”
“Destiny was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable while we were out of town. We had a change in our schedule and she was more than willing to help so that our dog wasn’t alone. She also provided updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we reached out to her. I definitely recommend Destiny for your pet sitting needs.”
“Janesia did a great job with our pup Charlie! She kept in touch with messages and pictures throughout the stay. Our house was clean when we arrived home and she even left us some homemade cupcakes. She was very professional, friendly, and attentive. We look forward to her pet sitting for us in the future!”
“Brooklyn was so good with our pups. They’re both older now and require more care. She handled all their needs so well and was always responsible about communicating with us as needed. Also appreciate how many photos she sends of our dogs through the days. Definitely recommend her services if she is available.”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: After becoming an elementary school teacher 15 years ago, I began dog sitting for coworkers and some of my parents friends. Then, 10 years ago, I adopted my own dog, Moxie. My 14 year old girl would love to have some friends over to play, she still has a lot of energy for a senior dog! She is fixed, about 40 lbs, fully vaccinated, and gets along with most dogs, especially smaller dogs, we would just need to have them meet first. We have a cozy home with a fully fenced yard in SE Vancouver. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with vision, hearing, and mobility challenges, dogs that take oral medication, and administering diabetes medication syringes. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule! Please reach out and let me know what daily or weekly routine works best for you and your pet. I have a fully fenced yard, a 14 year old female schnauzer mix that loves to play, prefer crate trained dogs for when I’m away during the day, but dogs are free to roam my house when I’m home and can sleep in my room at night.
“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”
“Annemarie was great with our scared and stand-off-ish pup. Provided great feedback and let our pup gradually get used to her. We'll definitely be calling Annemarie again.”
“Salem house sat with our very shy two-year old kitty Sophie for five days over the Thanksgiving holiday. We know how fortunate we were to find such a patient and experienced caregiver. It’s not easy to wait for a scared feline to make the first moves. Sophie did well, and the house was neat and tidy on our return. Thank you so much Salem! We will have you back again soon!”
About: Hi I’m Jenny, and I provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, boarding and day care for your furry family. With over three years of pet care experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and temperaments through drop-in visits, boarding, doggy daycare, and walks. My experience includes feeding, exercise, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home providing pet care through any means necessary or needed for you and your furry family. Im happy and eager to accommodate and work with your schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. During visits and boarding, I closely supervise pets and provide a calm, loving environment. Building trust is important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and creating positive experiences through patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, providing peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to create a loving, dependable environment where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“Amanda was great with our dog, Stella. We had been gone a few days and we returned home to a happy and tired dog. Amanda communicated well, walked Stella, took care of her needs and took care of our house. We 100% would use her again and recommend her to others.”
“We've used Mary a few times to house/dog sit our two german shepherds. Most recently we had a couple week trip planned. The difference this time is one of our Shepherds came down with a neurological condition a couple months prior. Harley now required a strict medication and special diet routine. Needless to say we were hesitant to go on such a long trip with those special needs for Harley. Thankfully we could rely on Mary. Mary took fantastic care of both dogs during our vacation. Plus, we came back to a clean home, which is a challenge this time of year with two big hairy dogs. I can't say enough positive things about Mary. Her love for dogs, calm, caring demeanor and professionalism puts us at ease when we are away from home. She's part of our dogs pack now and we can't recommend her enough!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have raised and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years including Great Danes and Mastiffs. I am very comfortable with giant breeds, strong personalities, and dogs that require confident, experienced handling but equally as comfortable with smaller/toy breeds as well. In addition to dogs, I have hands on experience caring for cats, chickens, domestic birds, turkeys, tortoises, goats, and ducks. Family and friends have trusted me for years to care for their beloved pets and farm animals while they are away. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, senior, or a giant breed, they will be cared for like one of my own. Your pet will not be left alone for extended periods and will receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and attention. We live on a fully fenced spacious 10-acre property designed with dogs in mind. • Three separate fenced dog yards • Shade and protection from the elements • Plenty of room to run and play safely • Splash pools and room to romp and explore Dogs sleep indoors in crates or large kennels with elevated beds to ensure comfort, safety, and proper rest unless other wise requested by owner. Safety, supervision, and structured care are priorities in our home. 🐶 What Sets Me Apart ✔ Experienced with giant and powerful breeds ✔ Comfortable with multi-dog households ✔ Experience with farm animals and exotics ✔ Structured, clean, and safe environment ✔ Large, secure outdoor play areas I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment so you can travel with peace of mind. With 10 fully fenced acres and structured care times your pet will receive consistent exercise, feeding, supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention as part of our family’s everyday life. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised, never left unattended outdoors, and enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe play. We have 3 different fully fenced play yards to provide plenty of stretching and play even for those dogs that may not get along with others. I provide structured routines, separate spaces for rest if needed, and slow introductions to ensure everyone feels secure. Clean water, comfortable sleeping areas, and plenty of enrichment and affection are always included. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their individual needs and temperament. 🐾
“Absolutely recommend Madelyn. She sent photos and updates on my dog unprompted. He’s a bit shy and she was patient with him getting used to a new person staying in the home. Fully trust her and will be booking again. 💛”
About: I have three years of professional pet care experience, giving me a deep understanding of how to keep dogs and cats safe, happy, and completely comfortable while their owners are away. Over the years, I have worked with a wide variety of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to whatever a pet needs. Whether I am managing precise daily feeding routines, keeping high-energy dogs active and engaged through structured playtime, or providing quiet, gentle companionship for older pets, I approach every interaction by treating them as if they were my own. I always stay attentive to animal body language and behavior so I can catch any subtle shifts in mood or appetite, ensuring they stay content and secure from start to finish. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work part-time right in the heart of Battle Ground and balance it with a flexible college schedule. This setup gives me plenty of open time throughout the week and on weekends to dedicate undivided attention, care, and playtime to pets. Additionally, caring for five of my own cats at home means feline care and daily routines are already second nature to me, allowing me to easily adapt my schedule to meet any pet's specific needs. When caring for pets in either my home or a client home, my approach focuses on creating a secure, calm, and deeply comforting environment tailored to their exact needs. In my own home, we have two wonderful dogs, a beagle hound mix and an Anatolian shepherd, alongside five cats, meaning I am exceptionally experienced in managing multi pet dynamics, diverse temperaments, and varying energy levels. Whether I am caring for high energy kittens, elderly cats requiring medication and specialized feeding routines, or dogs needing a watchful eye, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I stay deeply attentive to their behavior and body language, ensuring they feel completely safe and secure while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Livingston
Shani was exceptional with her communication and asked me questions whenever she needed clarification or additional details. Shani was proactive in reviewing the instructions I sent ahead of time. Shani stayed at my house for 4 days with my 12-week-old puppy and we all know a puppy can be a lot of work! I arrived home to a happy puppy and my house was spotless. Shani cleaned up every poo and put everything away exactly how it was, she wiped paws so the puppy wasn't dragging in extra dirt. It was so nice to come home and know my puppy was taken care of the way I would. Shani sent pictures throughout the time and was very responsive if I checked in. I would highly recommend her!
Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Livingston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Livingston maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Livingston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livingston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
