“Alison was great! She asked good questions during the meet & greet and was very personable. She sent pictures throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house. Our cat is happy! We would definitely book her again.”
“Great !Wendy. Will be my first pick next time.”
“She did a great job with our kitties!”
“Erica is wonderful. We've had her take care of our 3 senior cats several times now and trust her completely. She is respectful, loving and we always come home to a clean house. I highly recommend Erica! But... book ahead because she is in high demand and therefore not always available.”
About: Well I’ve had cats all my life but I do love dogs! I have done over night(s)! I love taking dogs for walks & to parks to run around and possibly play with other dogs I’ve helped with a friend of mine dogs while his other family members were off on a camping trip so I took them out for potty a few times a day, feed them, & played with them. I’m definitely an animal lover who loves being outdoors and helping out if and when needed I’ve been told multiple times that I’m a cat/dog whisperer if you know what I mean by that. If there is anything in particular you wanna know feel free to ask. I currently am a homemaker and do have my own vehicle. I currently have a very open schedule but I do not drive. My partner drives me (or animals!) wherever I need to go. First things first I like to have a conversation with the clients about their pet specific needs and schedules. If a, “In-home” pet sitting is needed, I also like to go over any house or home rules. This can vary depending on the animal.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My dogs are truly my best friends, and my most favorite things to do are play with them, walk them, and take them down to the beach. I get so much joy from being with dogs, and would love to be available to help people with their doggies whenever needed! I’m currently home for the summer, between school years as an English teacher in Madrid, Spain. Right now, I’m enjoying time on the Oregon coast and working on my Spanish, so I have plenty of availability, and lots of motivation, for pet care! My approach to caring for pets in my home and my client’s home is one of attention to individual needs. I know that every pet is different, and every pet has different needs. I would want to know from my clients how best to make their pet comfortable and cared for. Whether the dog likes to play lots, walk, run, or just hangout, I want to make sure that time away from their family can still feel like home.
About: I have extensive experience taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens, but am open and excited to take care of all pets. I am new to Rover, but have completed over 40 sits through TrustedHousesitters watching many dogs, cats, and kittens, ranging from weekend sits to entire months and have been pet sitting full time for 1 and a half years. I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and have experience administering medication (including insulin, pills, liquid). I also have experience with a variety of farm animals as I watched an entire farm by myself including goats, sheep, turkeys, rabbits, cats and dogs. In addition to my recent experience through TrustedHousesitters, I have had many house/pet sitting gigs throughout the years. I periodically watched my housemates cat in college. I grew up dog sitting my family friend's dog and cat sitting for a couple of different families. I also nannied for 4 years, and have experience looking after houses, cleaning, and keeping my clients homes in great condition. I am originally from California, but my home base is Portland, OR. My favorite activities include running, hiking, and anything outdoorsy. I am a marathon runner and I have completed 6 marathons so far and have run numerous half marathons. I also really like exploring, traveling and trying new food and coffee places. I love to house/pet sit because it gives me the opportunity to be around cute pets and make some extra income as I recently moved back to Portland after taking a gap year. I have 3.5 years of experience working remotely in the medical communications field and I am a UC Davis alumni. While caring for your pet and home, I will be available on my cell and will text picture updates, so you can feel at ease while you are away and will be sure to give your pet plenty of cuddles and love.
“My cats were well cared for, fed, and had clean boxes. I'm so grateful for how great you did to keep my pets happy and safe while I was away. I appreciate you so much!”
“Big thanks to Erica for taking such good care of my cat over a longer stay! She always sent plenty of photos and confirmed that everything was going fine, and I'm really grateful for the peace of mind that my cat was given great care and attention. I appreciate how easy it was to communicate with Erica and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I may be young, but I've had multiple animals in my life already: 3 cats, a handful of dogs, some fish, and even a horse. I also did rescue for 5 years, being a foster family for numerous cats working with my local animal shelter. I also dog-sit for family and friends. I am free any day throughout the week as long as I get notice at least a day ahead. I am an older sister to lots of kids, so scheduling is very important to me. I would treat your animal just like my own: walks, playtime, relaxation, and feeding. I can also bathe and brush as well. If you can give me a list of what your pets need, I'll make it a priority.
“We were on vacation and needed to leave the dog behind for 3 hours in August. She is not crate trained and is a barker. The sitter was a great option to keep Katie supervised and active for that time. Thanks!”
About: I have excellent references with over 18 years of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and grooming animals. I have worked with animals as young as 4 months old to as old as 18 years old and had to administer medication. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, and cows. I am a teacher so I am available any time during the week to stay over and with breaks I can go and let them out for play and potty time. I’m off work after 3:45 so your pet babies will have lots of attention! I also have summers off (June-August) and can be home with your pets all day! I live in an apartment at this time so I will not be able to keep your animals here, but I am able to come to your home and be there as much or as little as you need me to be! I want what is best for your pet since I know they are part of your family. When you put your trust in me, I take that very seriously and anything you need directions wise will be followed since you know your pet best!
About: I am exclusively a cat sitter, I do not offer dog services and am only doing this because Rover is making me do it. Haha. I currently at a stay at home mom that travels about 90 miles a day for my daughter's gymnastics, 6 days a week. I have lots of down time to love on your kitties while you are out of town! I am reliably (sometimes too much so) on time. I will go above and beyond to ensure that not only your cat's basic needs are met, but that they are loved and feel safe with my being there and love on them if they want. Having two cats who require someone to come over and cuddle when I leave town, I understand that the typical "cat" personality does not actually exist and that they are their own unique creatures.
About: I'm responsible and loving and you'll never need to worry about your family member. I have over 70 years of animal caregiving. I'm happy to provide photos and updates while you're away to increase your comfort and ensure your pets are being cared for. I'm open to pet sitting any time, as this is my main source of employment. I'm happy to house sit, pet sit, or do daily drop-ins. I have a long-standing relationship in the community. Our family farm was well-respected for seven decades. I treat your family loved ones like one of our own.
“Brenna was an amazing cat sitter! She is extremely communicative, trustworthy, and kind, even my shy cats came out to see her! It is clear that she cares deeply for animals and is great at caring for them :)”
About: I've been around animals my whole life from horses to pet rats. I will provide in-home care, dogwalks whatever you need. My home or your home! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so any day of the week works for me except Saturday or Sunday...iam very flexible!..whatever works for you works for me! I live next to a state park excellent for Walking to and from. I have a fenced-in yard, 2 kids 9 and 14 year old that will add extra Luv too your little or big one. Don't Forget about Rufio or pet dog who is very lovable and sweet!.
About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life that I have cared for, along with caring for friends family and neighbors pets! I love being around animals! I am currently working mostly online so I have a very flexible schedule, and It is almost always likely I can be available when I am needed! I am very aware and always pay attention to the needs of the pet! And ensure that they get all the love and care they need!

Catherine N.
“I went out of the country for two weeks and had the luxury of having Catherine stay in my home while I was away. I met her and her partner; they are so genuine and kind, and I instantly felt so comfortable with them. I got photos of my cats, and little updates throughout my trip. Catherine left my home cleaner than I left it! I would 100% have Catherine come back and sit for me in the future.”

Mackenzie-Jade A.
“From the time I’ve known MJ she has been nothing but kind and caring towards anyone she may meet and is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. She lived in a house with 4+ dogs at all times and she’s shown how much she loves and cares for her animals. She takes extensive care for them and I wouldn’t trust anyone more than her with any of my pets I own.”

Justice W.
“I had Justice come over to my farm and watch my 7 year old Pointer, my 14 year old Golden Retriever and a variety of animals from my horse to cats to my chickens. Justice made sure they were well cared for and went above and beyond to make sure they were kept safe during the winter months. She gave our dogs plenty of exercise and made sure our older retriever got his medicine each day. I would recommend Justice to pet sit/house sit for anyone who wants peace of mind while they are away.”

“I have booked through Paws in the Sand for three years and Heather is absolutely the most gracious and kind pet sitter on the coast. If you want your pet in safe and loving hands I suggest!!”
Mariposa D.
“Rosie (Mariposa) is excellent with animals. She loves them and is understanding of their different personalities. An example is that when she was in middle school her riding teacher had her dress up her horse for Halloween. The horse was not pleased and lightly bit Rosie. In response, Rosie kissed the horse gently on the nose. Rosie is very gentle with animals and easily gains their trust. In befriending a stray cat or trying to catch a runaway rabbit, Rosie managed to let the animals stay calm so that she could approach them or touch them Rosie is very reliable. She is a very practical person who is able to think on her feet in unexpected circumstances. I recommend her highly.”
