“Claire took great care of our two cats while we were away! She provided really detailed report cards with photos each day. It was a relief knowing that our babies were well taken care of. We'll definitely see if Claire's available next time we head out of town!”
“Very much appreciated ! I booked Elaine very last minute and she took the time to still come over and meet me and my dog before I confirmed booking which was super nice. Gave me updates and comminicated well ! Thank you!”

“Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

About: Aside from my professional history as a wildlife biologist and former Oregon Zoo keeper I am a life long lover of dogs, cats, and all animals. I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails. I'm in shape to handle any sized dog in the event of aggressive leash pulling or needing to lift a dog in case of emergency. I bring professional animal handing experience and an innate understanding and empathy towards animals. Recently furloughed Government wildlife biologist, I am currently available 24/7 if needed. I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.
“We left our Cat and Rabbit with Nicole for over a month while we had gone overseas. Based on a pre agreed schedule Nicole promptly came for a visit. She did all the chores for the pets and spent time with them. Both the pets were well looked after. I would gladly use Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“Shaelyn was reliable and took the time to get to know our cats. She gave thorough updates and took cute pictures. It was nice to know I could count on her 😊”

“Jennifer was very attentive to all the instructions that were left and went above and beyond in monitoring my cat's litter and more. Great communication, friendly, and awesome with animals!”


“As always, Julia was prompt, great with our old ladies (of the dog variety), and communicated well. Our nights out are that much better knowing the dogs have had a kind visitor and a chance for a potty break.”


About: I've raised my mini Australian Sheperd, Piko, since she was a puppy. I've petsat for neighbors multiple times in the past, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I currently have open availability any day of the week, and am eager to work anytime with you and your pet(s). Shoot me a message if you'd like to book with me! I can give your pet plenty of attention and playtime, and will make sure that the pet's location is known at all times of the day.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old. I adopted my most recent rescue about five years ago. I take her on multiple long walks every day! I also have experience with senior dogs and disabled dogs. I currently work part time and make my own schedule, so I can work around your needs. I am available for multiple check-ins a day, and will walk whatever route needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and live right next to a park with walking trails. I have a dog who loves playing with other dogs, but can be separated if needed.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience, We’ve fostered more than 20 dogs since 2020 and spent 3 years volunteering at a dog rescue, focusing on training, exercise, and support for both reactive and rescue dogs. We also have two cattle dogs and specialize in positive, consistent puppy training. We have two cats as well. I (Zach) work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I (Janexis) I'm a Teacher and I'm available after 4pm and weekends. One of dog required weekly shots, so we have experience administering injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow a structured, consistent routine tailored to each pet’s needs. We use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and well-being. We're experienced with crate-trained dogs, but we’re also more than happy to share the couch or bed with your furry companion, just like home. Our goal is to maintain your pet’s routine while providing a loving, stress-free environment in your absence.
“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”

About: Animals get me. I have a deep love for animals of all kinds. Large breed dogs are kind of my specialty but I love any and all! Cats, dogs, fish, or birds. I just moved here last week from NE FL. I am a nurse full-time but waiting on license transfer, I have a vehicle and no other obligations. I have full availability to be able to accommodate most all needs. I will follow and respect any and all requests. I’m very easy going and can work around whatever your needs are. I get we all have a certain way of doing things, especially with our fur babies!
“Autumn was a great caretaker for our critters! She was very detailed in her updates and we felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”
Minnehaha pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma did a great job with our pets. Our two dogs have some special needs and Emma did a great job accommodating us! Rocket needs to be carried and Quill needs a little patience as he’s slow with his commands (He’s a nervous guy). She demonstrated care, attentiveness, and was prompt. As a bonus she gave out cats some love while I was out. I’ll gladly trust my pets to her again. Thanks Emma!

Jessica is a wonderful cat sitter, solid communicator, and great cat photographer! We so appreciated the care she put into taking care of our furry family members, checking in on our travel plans, and the updates/photos she shared with us so we could feel close with them while we traveled. ♥️

Michelle was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. My cat is very shy, and she somehow managed to make him feel comfortable with her, which is impressive all by itself! She was patient, caring, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my cat again.

My girls and I love Megan! She takes such good care of my babies and is excellent at communication. I never feel like I have to worry when im away because she asks any necessary clarifying questions and spoils them with walks and affection! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!
