“Drop in visits with our kitty- Natasha managed alarm system and door codes without difficulty and took good care of our kitty who seems to miss human companionship while we’re away.”
“Haley took good care of our kitties. We have 4 cats and this was our first time using Rover. She did a meet and greet and reassured me that she was good with everything and also has experience. She had great communication and some challenges with event traffic near our home being close to the stadium but she still followed through on her commitment. She left notes and I appreciated the pictures. The pictures were very helpful in getting reassurance that our babies were ok! Thank you Haley and River for making this process seamless!”
About: I am a Confident Animal Caretaker: dogs, cats, horses, cows, fish, lizards and more. With personal experience with all sized dogs from 10lbs to 90lbs, cats and care of horses. From animals that need snuggles and love, to basic training, and the ability to work with reactivity in dogs. Let's care for your pet your way together. As a self-employed individual, I have the ability to customize my schedule to fit your animals needs. From drop-ins and walks almost anytime to overnights for your vacation. With a position reinforcement approach I meet your pet where they are. To me that means we may sit in a room and learn to accept each other all the way to becoming besties from first sight and going on a hike. Wherever your pet is I'm here to work together to make their experience the best while you are away.
About: I am very responsible and treat the animals as if they were my own. As an anxious pet owner myself, I know leaving them can be very hard. With me they’re in good hands. I am currently working part time 3 days a week but I live with my mom and she is retired so she fills in for me when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) I have a large fenced in backyard. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.
“Annie was wonderful with our 15-year-old retired barn kitty Grace - who is now a indoor kitty full-time. And loving it! Grace was well groomed and happy upon our return home. Annie left our house clean and neat too!”
“Lauren was fantastic. We had to leave our cat Charlotte home for almost 2 wks while we went back to NY for Xmas. Lauren gave me updates regularly, made sure Charlotte got all the love and even sent a couple pics! This was our first experience with Rover and will not hesitate to come back in the future!!”
About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.
About: I have a big heart for animals (especially cats and dogs). I am very passionate and driven, i’ll make sure your pets have their needs (and wants) full filled! I work Monday-Thursday from 7-3ish normally. This being said I have most of my afternoons open and weekends and nights available to stay overnight or just walk your pets! I am very gentle and caring with animals, but I can be stern if needed. I don’t accept overnights in my own home due to allergies etc. But I will make sure your dog/cat has everything they need and gets love and attention in their home. I know how to handle big and small dogs, and most of the time I can keep them contained on a lead too.
About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.

I am able to come to your home to care for your pets and offer time and drops ins and some quality time and walks to hang out with your fur babies!!
About: I have worked with dogs professionally for over three years. I am a graduate of Animal Behavioral College with a certification in Canine Obedience Training . I am punctual and trustworthy. I am also certified in pet CPR/First Aid. I also have been working with Horses for over 7 years and can provide Equine care. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available for nights and weekends as well. I also can usually be available with short notice as I understand that life happens. I provide care inside the owners home. My focus is always to create a safe a happy environment for any animals under my care. My handling skills are force free, with additional positive reinforcement.
“We had a last-minute house and pet sitting need, and Angela came to our rescue! We've used several house/pet sitters in the past with mixed results, but Angela exceeded all expectations. Not only were our pets safe and happy when we returned, but our house was spotless—a rare and wonderful combination. In the past, we've come home to pets in good shape but a house in chaos, which is the last thing anyone wants after a long trip. Angela’s thoughtfulness made all the difference. She’s also an excellent communicator, providing frequent updates several times a day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Angela is truly a rare gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for any house or pet sitting needs.”
About: Hello there! I have a degree in Psychology and professionally trained at a company in Richmond, VA for 4 years, including running their Day Training Program. I have been training dogs and dog-sitting for 10 years. My mom and I ran a rescue for senior dogs so I have experience with all ages. I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and/or special needs dogs. I use positive reinforcement and am very calm, cool, and collected. I have cared for dogs with diabetes, dogs that need oral medication, and dogs who are very high energy. I am very active and love to be on the go, and I love to hike the trails with pups! I am also good to relax and hang out with the senior babies. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I run my own business and have a very flexible schedule to meet your family’s needs. I am able to meet last-minute changes and special accommodations. I have a large SUV for outings and come equipped with all kinds of safety needs: extra leashes, collars, harnesses, water, and poop bags! I can also crate your dog in my car if necessary.
About: I've had a cat several cats actually over 35 years as pets. I love all fur animals, they all deserve a bit loving care and peace while you are away. I am currently available any day of the week. I have a day job that starts early. I have the afternoon and evenings free which is ideal for those walks or spending time with your pet. I am a trust worthy, kind, patient and loving sitter who will love your fur babies like my own. I am looking forward to meeting you both.
About: I grew up with animals my whole life and I also currently animal sit. I also work at a doggy daycare called The Ruff House at the moment! I currently work Tuesday-Friday 7:30am till 4pm at The Ruff House. While I’m at work my boyfriend is home so theirs always someone at home. I live in an apartment but out back theirs a fenced in yard with turf and a fenced in place for dogs to go to the bathroom. Theirs also parks around where I live so plenty of places to go on walks! I like to take the dogs out to go to the bathroom every hour or every other hour and play with the dogs a lot to get out all of that energy!
About: I grew up caring for my family dog who had anxiety and helped train my mom's puppies, as well as dogsit for my friends occasionally. My family dog had pretty major anxiety so we did our best to make sure she was happy and anxiety free! We cared for her from the time she was a puppy until she passed away at 15, so I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs. I'm comfortable caring for all types of dogs. I love dogs to the moon and back, but since I can't have a pup of my own right now I'd love to take care of yours! As far as my schedule goes, I generally work from 8 to 4. For drop-ins, I have somewhat sporadic days off, so if I’m free I’m happy to help! For housesitting, I’m happy to stay at your house, or whatever works best!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—whether through 4H as a kid or continuing to learn everything I can about animal care as an adult. I’m especially passionate about working with shy or anxious pups; earning their trust is one of my favorite challenges (I have an anxious girl of my own, so I truly understand how tough it can be to leave them behind). I’m comfortable with all kinds of pet care, including giving medications and handling those “not-so-routine” tasks. If you’ve got a special request or an unsure situation, just ask—I’m always happy to help! I currently work four days a week, but I’m happy to fit in drop-in visits during the early mornings (6am–7am) and evenings (6pm–8pm) most days. On my days off—typically Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—I have more flexibility and can often offer additional visits or even walks! I do my best to keep my schedule reliable, and I’ll always communicate clearly to make sure your pets get the care they need when you need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep things calm, consistent, and comforting. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar space, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I always leave things tidy and provide regular updates, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
