This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!

We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!

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.

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!

About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)

About: I have been a certified veterinary technician for 6 years. I've been taking care of pets ranging from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats for pretty much my entire life! I also worked as a positive reinforcement dog trainer for a couple years while in tech school. As a veterinarian technician, I feel confident administering medications, am comfortable with animals with medical conditions, and also know dog/cat CPR. I also have experience with fearful or reactive animals. I no longer work in a veterinary hospital so I able to spend as much time w your pets as needed. I am currently open to booking any day of the week and can stay overnight. While I'm at home I am always cuddled up with one of my pets and it would be no different in your home! As a pet sitter/walker, my goal is to give your pets the attention they want and follow the routine you have. I want their time away from you to be as stress free as possible. I do not let pets under my care socialize with unknown animals or people. I also do not do off leash activities unless in a fenced in area.

About: I provide a safe, steady, and highly attentive environment for every animal I care for. I’m reliable, present, and deeply tuned into each pet’s needs and behavior. Your home and your animal will be treated with respect, care, and consistency. I’ve had dogs and cats in my life consistently since I was 11 years old and have cared for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From high-energy dogs like border collies and cattle dogs to smaller breeds and mixed temperaments, I’m comfortable creating a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence. Over the years, I’ve also trained and guided many dogs into maturity, helping them develop good habits, confidence, and a sense of calm within their routine. My approach is patient, consistent, and grounded, always working with each dog’s natural personality rather than against it. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I bring a reliable, attentive presence to every I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now, and I maintain a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays, with additional availability on Saturdays. On Sundays, I offer limited availability in the early morning and late afternoon. I’m currently based in Molalla and can serve nearby areas as well. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and respond promptly to requests so we can find times that work well for both you and your pet. As I transition to the Milwaukie area, I’ll also be expanding my availability to include overnight pet sitting. I approach every home and animal with care, respect, and attention to detail. I provide a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence, always prioritizing your pet’s well-being and comfort. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each animal’s behavior, energy, and needs. Whether on walks or in the home, I stay aware of surroundings and make thoughtful decisions to keep your pet safe and secure. I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter and treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in reliable, grounded hands.

There aren’t enough stars to convey how positive I feel about Sydney and the care she provided for my two kitties. Sydney is THE BEST!! This is the first time I’ve left my two cats in someone else’s care and actually relaxed & didn’t worry the whole time!! Both kitties warmed up to Sydney. (Even my very shy little girl, Maizie,) at our Meet& Greet. It was clear to me that Sydney loves cats and loves her job🧡🧡🧡 We had great communication & she kindly put up with my multiple questions and endless list of notes I left for her. !! I would easily leave her 10 STARS if allowed. Sydney is a true gem & I probably never leave town again unless she’s available to care for Meekowitz & Maizie😽. She’s that good‼️🐈‍⬛🐾🐈

Absolutely amazing! Bliss was an amazing communicator, gave great updates, and took really great care of my kitty! She really went out of her way to care for him! My cat is very shy and is very anxious around new people but he LOVED her and warmed up to her the second she walked in. He has never done this with anyone, it’s was so cute and sweet and im glad he found another friend to trust! Cannot recommend her enough!

Viviana is amazing. I’m so glad I was able to book this second time with her. Both experiences have been nothing but great. She is very dependable, even when I had issues with booking (I’m not very tech savvy). She was able to come watch after my Nico on such short notices on two occasions, and I am grateful for her. You can tell she cares a great deal about animals, and spends time playing with my Nico Pico who loves all the attention. I appreciate the photos she sends while I’m out of town as well- makes me happy to see he is happy. I will definitely be booking with Viviana again in the future.

Thomas was amazing with Lovie. Every time I leave town, I usually come home to a chewed-up dog bed and signs of stress, but not this time. Thomas provided the consistency in her routine that she really needs to stay calm and happy. He asked thoughtful questions and took careful notes on all the little things that make a difference. I also really appreciated the check-in updates and photos from each visit, it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely be reaching out to Thomas for future trips. Highly recommend!
