About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, starting my journey at just 12 years old, walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors. Over the years, my passion for animals grew into a profession, and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant. From managing health issues and ensuring proper exercise to offering endless love and attention, I provide care that goes above and beyond basic sitting. I have in-depth experience with administering medications, senior care, and specialized needs for puppies and kittens. As a passionate dog trainer, I’ve also successfully trained my own pup since he was just 4 months old, making him the well-behaved boy he is today. I'm currently working part-time at a veterinary clinic on Thursdays (7:30 am - 6:30 pm), while completing my Bachelor degree at Lane Community College. Because I am mostly online for school, other than Tuesday nights (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm), my schedule is flexible for you and your pets! My schedule may be changing depending on summer classes starting June 23, 2025. In my care, I strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours. In your home: I make sure your pet’s routine stays as close to normal as possible, which means sticking to their feeding schedule, daily walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, providing plenty of affection and attention to make them feel safe and loved. I also ensure that your home remains clean and secure, respecting your space while providing top-notch care for your pet. In my home: I offer a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax and feel at ease. I create a comfortable space with plenty of attention and supervision, as well as a structured routine. I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they’re cared for with the same level of love and expertise as I give my own pet. I have a well-behaved, friendly 15lb rescue pup that would love to be your pet's next best friend. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in any environment, while providing the expert care they need.

About: Animals have been a true passion of mine for my entire life. I have been in the Animal Care Industry for close to a decade now and have been a licensed Pet Stylist since 2015. Additionally, I had the luxury of growing up on a family farm, which provided me the opportunity to learn about the proper care & handling of a wide variety of different animal species. My soul dog passed away 5/21/25, so caring for your fur babies brings me lots of happiness and comfort. I love being able to care for and dote on them like I did for my boy 🧡 I am available every day of the week, including all holidays. Drop in visits I am available between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. I have certifications through Fear Free, A.K.C. SAFE & Pet CPR/First-Aid. I have experience handling & caring for pets that might need a lil' extra TLC due to their medical issues, fear/anxiety and reactivity. You can view my certificates on my Instagram @havocs_house

About: I have had all sorts of pet care experience from overnight dog sitting to being a foster mom for many kitten/puppy litters etc. I am passionate about taking good care your pets! Pet care is my only job, since I will be attending college in the fall I am home for the summer. I will be able to give all of my attention to pet care. I will provide lots of play time and if wanted, cuddles. I will take your doggy on 1-3 walks a day and follow the requested feeding schedule.

About: I've always owned a cat or dog since I was 5 years old and my father has been a vet technician for 45 years. I love going on walks and making sure animals get some exercise and all the love! I do work a full time job during the week and have my own dog but weekends I'm open and free as he goes to his grandma's for a visit. I do live in an apartment so dogs are always on leash and if I were to watch an animal at my home, my dog would go to his grandma's.

About: I have had multiple jobs in a boarding, daycare, grooming, and training facilities. I love all types of animals and will treat them as my own. I currently work at Suds Em, a self service dog washing and grooming salon, but in between shifts I walk dogs and do drop in visits. I have a 3 year old yellow lab that I am the sole caretaker of and we go on many walks a day. I am a positive reinforcement believer, but I also understand everyone has their own beliefs.

“Tausha is the first Rover pet sitter I have used. My two dogs are both medically fragile, with one taking 3 different meds, daily. My prior pet sitters have either been family members or a a neighborhood pet sitter who knows my dogs. I was going out of town for six days and the scheduled pet sitter had a family emergency. So, I asked Tausha if she would feel comfortable stepping into the role... and she accepted. Taking care of my dogs means following a medication chart, and a fairly specific task list. For example, one dog must be fed by hand, using a baby syringe. Additionally, my dogs are small, and it is Winter, so they don't get "let outside" to pee or poop. This means I use high-quality pee pads, which is an extra step for keeping the dogs' room clean and sanitary. Tausha visited my dogs three times each day: breakfast, dinner, and the last visit just for a "night" tuck in to make sure they would be okay until the morning, clean up any poop or change the potty pad. Tausha was not intimidated by the complexity of my dogs' care and did a great job. If you consider she had never taken care of them, especially for an extended number of days, she did a stellar job. Would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Lily took great care of our cats and home. She was super responsive to texts and sent us beautiful photos of our felines each day!”

“Kelly truly went above and beyond to take care of my menagerie of a household! I have a dog, two freshwater aquariums, a large collection of succulents, herbs, and in-ground garden of tomatoes, marigolds, and much more and Kelly kept them all thriving while I was on vacation for 10 days. Kelly was extremely flexible, communicative, and professional. She sent me many photos of my baby Pug and kept me in the loop for any developments. She was super punctual and showed great care in making sure everything was well taken care of! I would most definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for pet care! I will certainly rebook her services for future trips as I trust she will be an excellent caretaker of my precious pets! ? A big Thank You to Kelly for an amazing experience!”

“It was soooo relieving to have Jonathon take care of our animals. He was professional, friendly and reliable. He helped me out when the animals ran out of food and had great communication throughout the whole process. Very happy with his pet care and will book again!”

About: I am self-employed and after having experienced very few people available to care for my pups, I decided to be someone who can do that for others. I LOVE dogs (and will even take cats). I love to run with them and play with them and give them a lot of attention. I have a big house with 3 Vizslas, a Pomeranian and two cats. They are all very sweet and goofy. Two pets are rescues and the Vizslas are show pups. I have fostered and rescued for years and I also understand high maintenance pets. I am meticulous and will care for your pets as I do my own family. They are our fur-babies! I can administer medication and adhere to strict guidelines. I work from home the majority of the time, but have two days per week at the office (afternoons). My own dogs are never crated more than 3 hours, and most often less. I will spoil your fur baby, love on them and work on their training. My yard is fenced, but they will always be supervised. I will take them out on leashes for walks down oye country road, throw a ball, play with the hose. I exercise even in snow, so I am not avoidant of adverse weather conditions. I do require flea medication as my dogs do not have any fleas. Vaccinations need to be up-to-date and provided.
