About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember, but what sets me apart for the most part is my experience. I volunteered at Austin Pets Alive for about four years working with reactive dogs. Then I started work as a kennel tech at a boarding facility run by a veterinarian. Now, after earning my degree in Animal Behavior, I work at a veterinary office. This means not only am I trained in behavioral problems but I am very well versed in medical and physical problems as well. I have dealt with countless issues such as seizures, diabetes, paralysis, even cancer treatment. This makes me prepared for every dog that comes my way, and an ability to handle situations no matter the breed, size, or condition the dog is in. I work Monday-Thursday 8-5 but have a lunch break and will be able to check in with animals during the day. Then weekends I am always free. I have heavy emphasis on mental stimulation for dogs, specifically working breeds and higher energy dogs. I’m really good at coming up with new puzzles and activities for dogs to do , so that they feel fully satisfied by the days end. I’m very active myself , so you’ll often find me with a dog on a hiking trail or down at Zilker park. This translates very well if you have a pup who just needs someone to run with them, and treat them to a pupsicle when they are all tuckered out!
About: I have had animal experience since the beginning of high school when I worked as a kennel assistant walking, feeding, and caring for boarded and hospitalized animals. Currently I work as a veterinary assistant where I care for my patients and work with my team to effectively provide healthcare and support to both animals and their owners. In this role, I assist with medical procedures, monitor patients, and ensure their comfort while also communicating with clients to help them understand their pets' needs. I am a veterinary student at OSU CCVM so my daily schedule during the school year is quite full but am available during early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I live in a small apartment so I am unable to care for pets at my place but I have a reliable vehicle and am able to travel anywhere in the Corvallis area.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade. I have experiencing administering medication as my family dog was diabetic, as well as medications for client’s pets as well. As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!
About: Nanny families have relied on me to care for their fur family members for years! I've learned they're just like little kiddos. Learning everything and wanting love and connection. I'm working full time during the week 8-4:30pm. Fridays are flexible and I can make a mid day if needed! Weekends are usually available just filled with chores so I would love to connect if this schedule works for you! Learning the pups environment and keeping clear communication on care instructions will ensure the happiness and safety of any pup and guarantee confidence of their owners.

About: I have had animals in my family since I was young. Right now I have three dogs and a cat. They are all very happy and well cared for. We love to go on walks and hang out at the park. They also love chilling in my room with me. I have helped assist in two dogs giving birth. They were one of the coolest experience of my life. I have had several family friends ask me to house sit their pets for them over the years. I am currently a student attending OSU. I have afternoon class on Monday-Wednesday, and Friday. I can drop in on your fur babies in the morning before class and after class as well. I’m also able to stay the night with them. I am able to do whatever you feel most comfortable with when it comes to caring for your pets. I’ll let them out regularly, feed them, play with them, and give them all of the attention they need. I can also send you regular updates on how they are doing while you are away.
About: My neighbors and friends have been relying on me for care of their furry friends since I was nine. From all sizes of dogs, to cats, fish, and rabbits, I have experience with all kinds on animals. I’m happy to learn unique routines that benefit your pet. I love spending time with them, whether petting, playing, or simply keeping them company, so you know they’ll get the best quality care! I’m currently working a part time job, so will have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals. I have availability most weekdays, weekends, and holidays this summer. I always clean up after your animals, including litter boxes and food and water bowls as needed. I’m also willing to bring in packages and garbage cans and will always be respectful of being in your home.
“Alyssa went above and beyond what we asked her to do. She was flexible and accommodating. She was available on short notice, wonderful with our pets and respectful of our home. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of care for their animals.”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for and feeding many animals. I bring hands-on experience, patience, and love, ensuring every pet feels happy and safe. I’m a college student with mostly online classes, so I have a flexible schedule! I love spending lots of time playing, cuddling, and caring for pets every day. I live in an apartment with three friends who also love animals! Together, we create a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for.

About: I've had animals my whole life, and they are still a huge part of it. I've previously volunteered at an animal shelter and worked at a retail pet store where I interacted with dogs every day, and worked as a veterinary technician for five years. I am able to administer oral and injectable medications. I am used to handling all different types of dogs, both big and small, and I am a huge cat lover with two of my own. I am available 7 days a week for 12 hour overnights (for example, 7 PM - 7 AM). I work as a part time and am a full time student, so am unable to offer midday drop ins during the week at this time, but I am available for them on the weekends. I have two cats so am unable to keep other pets in my home, but I am more than happy to stay at your home for you to watch your fur baby!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleaning, medication routines, and lots of cuddles. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their person is away. 🐾💕 I’m completely free and flexible until September 23rd! Once classes begin, I’ll still have plenty of availability for pet care, walks, and drop-in visits.

I keep a close eye on pets during care, make sure doors and gates stay secure, and keep potentially harmful items out of reach. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe while you’re away! 🐾💕
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13 and now i’m 21! Spending time with animals is so fun for me:) I go to OSU and am looking to spend time with your pets! I go to school Monday-Friday, but I would love opportunities to spend time with your animals! My school load is heavy and taking care of pets would be a great way for me to spend my free time. I don’t have any dogs with me in Oregon but I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I love to play with pets and take them on walks/runs. I have also been dog sitting for other families for a majority of my life.
“Madison is a reliable, flexible, dedicated and communicative pet sitter who obviously loves animals. She follows directions, frequently checks in with pictures and updates and just makes you feel like your pet is in great hands. I was really lucky to come across Madison's profile and would highly recommend her to anyone who shares my anxiety about leaving others to watch our furry friends. She's also just a really sweet person and a joy to work with.”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, but I have been walking dogs professionally for 3 years. I have worked at dog daycares, for private walking companies, and for various apps. I am currently studying Animal Behavior in college, and I love animals more than anything in this world. I also have experience with elderly, stubborn, reactive, large, and disabled dogs. My life runs based on my pets' needs. Spending quality time with my babies is my priority in life! I also walk dozens of dogs per week, so I spend most of my free time with animals! Monitoring pets' mood and behavior is essential to make sure they're well fed, comfortable, and relaxed. Whether we're playing or cuddling on the couch, i'm always laser focused on the animal i'm with!
About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
About: I’ve babysat most of my life and along with that i’ve watched peoples pets along with babysitting while they’ve gone on vacation. I love pets!!

I own three cats with my family, obviously they don’t go on walks but i make sure my indoor cats have some time outside, i usually sit with them in the backyard. I always make sure they have food and water and that their litter box is clean, and that i make sure to play with their toys with them!
About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with a black Labrador for 10 years and helped out with feeding him, playing with him, and walking him. Over the past year, I have boarded a cute pug on several occasions.

I’m currently an elite runner who trains 2-3 hours daily, with a flexible schedule. I am excited to look after dogs and show them a good time! I have a spacious, unfenced yard in the countryside. I do not have a dog of my own or any pets. I am reliable regarding following instructions pertaining to the dog’s needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Philomath
Alexandra was awesome. She offered to do a meet and greet even when my booking was rather last minute. She communicated very clearly and most importantly, seemed to really care about the time she spent with my dog during the drop-in visits. It seemed like she went beyond the bare minimum of letting him out/ feeding him and valued playing with him and loving him.

Allyson was such a great help dropping in to spend time with our doggies while we were away! She was very communicative, kind, and attentive. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy playing fetch with her and getting some extra attention and playtime. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Kayla did an amazing job with our senior dog. He had a sensitive stomach due to stress and not eating, and she was so gracious about cleaning up after him. She kept us in the loop the entire time we were on our trip about how Riley was doing. Would highly recommend!
