Cat Sitting in Marcola

“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.”

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.

About: I have had the joy of sharing life with a wide variety of dogs in my time. I have lived with cats, small dogs and big dogs. I tend to prefer the bigger dogs myself, because I love their cuddles. I have also cohabitated with cats, and enjoy their cuddles and purr vibrations. I have trained all of my dogs with the positive reinforcement method. I understand that dogs love to have boundaries made clear, so that they can feel safe. I do not raise my voice with dogs, and focus on reinforcing the positive choices that they make. I am experienced with giving medications to animals, even grumpy senior cats. I am patient with all animals, reliable and responsible for all pet owners. I value having a trustworthy petsitter for my own pets, and want to offer that to others in return. I am currently available anytime for pet care. I have some hobbies, but can easily schedule around them. With my own dogs, I am very active. We go on walks daily and often do road trips to the beach. I care for pets with patience and respect for the animals needs as well as the owners requests and preferences. I am very clean and organized, and will leave any space I am in clean.

“Jessica has proven herself again and again as a trusted partner and friend, to creature and human alike. She is an effective communicator and a steady hand that I trust implicitly. We have used her pet sitting many times and are so grateful to have her back whenever we have to be away from home.”

“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve had pets my whole life (dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs) and have been pet-sitting and walking since I was a kid. As a teenager, I spent many summers volunteering at my local animal shelter. I have experience caring for animals with disabilities, dietary restrictions, anxiety, and other special needs, including medication administration and incontinence cleanup/hygiene. I’m very comfortable with large and high-energy pets, as well as with those who need a gentler touch. Senior dogs and cats have had a special place in my heart since my childhood pets grew up alongside me. I work part time as a special education assistant for medically fragile students. My schedule allows for plenty of extra time for pet care during the week. I’m available all day most weekends, though I occasionally take babysitting jobs as well. If we discuss a schedule ahead of time, I will never take a job that conflicts with it. I don’t offer boarding (I live in an apartment with a maxed-out pet limit) but I’m very careful and detail oriented. My work with both animals and children has taught me to always double check when it comes to safety and instructions. I exercise more caution than I would with my own pets since I know new situations can lead to unusual behavior. And I always take notes to make sure I’m doing everything as the owner instructs me to!

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m thrilled to help care for your furry family members. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I can ensure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. Let’s make some tails wag together! Im currently working on some extra schooling certifications while my husband works full time. I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your pets! I like to offer anything I can while I care for pets. Whatever they need, im there for! Extended walks, longer playtime, medication assistance, and anything in between!

“Agnus and Dankster warmed up to Cassandra very quickly and were well taken care of!”

“Ada was incredible! Very communicative, professional, absolutely incredible with my pup, and an absolute pleasure to work with! Will definitely use her again.”

About: My mom raised me in a home where animals weren’t treated like “just pets” they were family. Because of that, I go above and beyond for not only my own animals, but any animal in my care. Their health, safety, and happiness matter to me. I’ll always put a lot of time, care, and attention into making sure they feel protected and cared for. As of now, I’m working as a part time hostess! I’m only working 4 days a week, 9am-2:30pm so I have a lot of free time to spend with your furr babies. Personally, when I care for others pets, my biggest thing is communication. I always follow instructions left by owners, refresh water daily, scoop litter daily, and if any accidents (potty or messes) happen I make sure to correct immediately. I also really enjoy providing photos of your furr baby!

About: I grew up taking care of my three dogs as well as friends and families pets as needed. I have been responsible for house sitting, walking and bathing dogs for about 2 years. I am currently home for summer break from university of Oregon. I don’t have a job at the moment so I have a ton of available especially during the week. On the walks and check in with your pets I will make sure to care for them and give them some attention. During boarding and check ins I will make sure to hide treats to make it fun and engaging.

“Madison accepted on very short notice, came and reacquainted with our dogs the next day and came right on time to visit with the pups.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

“Tina is wonderful! Very reliable and knowledgeable. She works so well with my pup’s little idiosyncrasies and he seems to adore her. I 100% recommend her!”

About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.

“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”

About: Hi! I’m Madeline, I’m 28 & a lifelong animal lover with a calm, caring nature and a knack for making pets feel safe and loved. With years of experience in customer-focused roles, I understand how important trust and communication are, especially when it comes to your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care is woven into my daily life — I care for my own cat and rabbit every single day, so things like feeding schedules, litter boxes, playtime, and grooming are second nature to me. I build my schedule around making sure my animals feel safe, seen, and loved — whether they’re mine or yours. Fitting your pet into my routine feels like second nature, not a task. My pets are indoor only. My cat does not get along with other cats or dogs so I keep her safe and separate. The way I would keep your pets safe is listening and communicating you and your pets needs. I’ve opted to not board pets because it would not work in my homes dynamic.
