About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes including Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to German Shepherds. I currently have a cat of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets while you’re away. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly pet sat for family members, including a high-energy Husky mix who requires daily exercise and attention. I also regularly walk dogs at the Oregon Dog Rescue. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and working with reactive dogs. When caring for your pet, I prioritize reliability, communication, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion around, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them most comfortable. I work full-time during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable morning, evening, and weekend pet care. Dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting are a great fit for my schedule, and I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I often have the ability to work remotely for a more flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or simply companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you’re away! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. When caring for pets, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special requirements. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Bryanna took great care of my two cats. She spent time with them and they clearly trusted her. She shared lots of photos which I loved to see.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have 2 very friendly cats named toothless and simba who love to play. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens and for senior animals with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. I work at home full time as a freelancer. I’m able to give your dog or cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I work from home so I’m pretty flexible with times and days. Both week and weekend availability. I just need a 1 day notice. Your pets will feel safe with me and get lots of extra attention while you are away. If your pet has any special needs, please let me know.

“Olivia was a fantastic and very appreciated resource to watch my cat Otto during a recent multi-day drop in visit that was needed. She provided lots of attention and love to Otto giving everything I wished for him while I was gone including lots of playtime, feeding supplements, sharing pictures and all the cuddles. I hope to absolutely use her again for the next time I will be out of town and need someone to drop-in.”

About: Let's be real: our pets are family, and they deserve to be cared for like it! I recently moved to the PNW, but over the last nine years before joining Rover, I've had opportunities to help care for and work with dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, and lizards! As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the need to have a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter, and I work to provide that for every family I work with! Since I work from home and have a fully remote school schedule, my availability is incredibly flexible! Need a mid-day check-in and a walk? I'm there! Out late and need a last minute sitter? Sounds perfect! I emphasize positive reinforcement and play with my pets and my client's pets. Maintaining your house rules with your pet while building trust through engagement and some light training (basic obedience) will help me establish a relationship with your pet based on mutual trust and play. Dogs deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and confident, and I feel so lucky that I get to be part of that.

“Followed directions, communicated well prior to the visits, great updates, came home to a happy cat 😺”

“Liz was absolutely the best! She helped us out at the last minute when someone cancelled on us. She sent daily updates & photos which were so nice to see our kitties were doing okay while we were away. We'll definitely use her again next time we go out of town. Thanks again Liz!!”

“Xanthia and her kids took great care of our cats while we were on vacation for a week. It is evident that they really love animals and my cats were so happy to get lots of attention while we were away. I would absolutely hire Xanthia again!”

About: For 15 years I have been pet sitting family, friends, and co-workers pet while they were out of town, needed someone to stop it, or to stay for a week during the holidays. I am a dedicated pet owner who wants all animals to receive love while I'm in there space. I offer walking and ride services for your pet. Send me a message I would love to meet you and your furry friends! I also provide other services for your pets send me a message! I am currently looking to change my employment and would like to start this on the weekend and see how it grows. I am a hardworking, trustworthy, pet lover that wants the best for you and your pet. I have a cat and dog that love each other very much. I have a friendly, gentle approach with my pets as I will have with yours.

About: I was taught that caring for someone's home and loved ones is a true privilege. I bring that same philosophy to every pet I care for, treating them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I was raised around multiple dogs and cats in our home from the moment I was born all the way to now. We considered them family and always cared for them with the utmost love and care. As an adult I have cared for my pets with zero incidence. After college I walked three dogs for over a year each and loved absolutely every moment of it. All without incidence. These were some of the most fun moments in my career in my 20's. Now, I have free time and would love to occupy that free time with taking care of other people's animals again. I am all of my friends go-to pet sitter. Both in my home and theirs. Known as "Auntie Nushie and a dog-god-mother to many. I nurse birds back to health, I don't kill insects, and I bring a level of calm energy to even the most chaotic of scenarios. My own dogs and cats are testimony to my ability to train puppies and socialize kittens. So, if you have fur babies, I will have organized training sessions with them. Whatever your pets needs, I am here for them! Whether it's an energetic walk, medication administration, senior care, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I naturally make all animals feel safe, happy, and at ease. I am punctual, tidy, responsible, and a great communicator; who may or may not take extremely great portraits of animals. I want your pets to feel excited when I arrive, loved while you're away, and relaxed when you come home. And for you, I hope every update and photo gives you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I currently work from home and have an open availability. I will not be available before 9AM on week days and 11AM on weekends. I sometimes travel for work but will give you a 4 days advance notice. Prefer having a set schedule for walking, pet sitting, or drop off. Your Home: I leave everything better than I found it. If it's a rainy day? No coming home to muddy footprints. If I come over and a dog has had an accident, I clean up after them. I send updates at the beginning and end of each visit. I am very responsible and have always locked up after myself. Zero incidences of gates left open, dogs running off their leash, confrontations with other animals, and never any safety concerns. My Home: I have 2 small dogs, Luna and Hank who both love other dogs. My cat loves dogs (even other cats) as well. She spends most of her days laying out in the yard and my dogs are always glued to my hip. My yard is large, fenced in, and has both shady and sunny areas. I have 3 separate water bowls around the house and keep the bowls sanitized and full. If you have special food or treats, I will gladly keep them here separate for your pet. I have a large 4 bedroom home with 2 living rooms. Even on the rainiest days, there is plenty of room here to have playtime.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Ever since I was little, I’ve spent my time learning about different breeds, their personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Because of that passion, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal body language, which helps me recognize when a pet is happy, stressed, nervous, or just wants some extra attention. I’ve also learned basic training techniques and enjoy working with animals in a positive, patient way. I even taught my cat to sit on command! I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. What makes me a perfect pet sitter is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s giving an energetic dog plenty of playtime or making sure a shy cat feels safe and comfortable, I take the time to earn their trust. I also understand how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I make it a priority to provide reliable care and ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time to caring for pets throughout the week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or last-minute bookings. I enjoy spending my time with animals, so being able to provide reliable, attentive care isn’t just convenient for me, it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I always care for pets based on their individual routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of love and attention while respecting their comfort level. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can recognize if something seems off or if they need extra care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, or training commands. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to help you feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by keeping their routine consistent and treating them like they’re my own.

About: I have worked with many different animals for years. I love dogs and cats and will give your fur baby tons of care and affection as if they were my own. I can also work on training if ever needed. I have a large German Shepherd and a small short haired cat. I cannot do boarding because I have a puppy. I have experience administering first aid for many different animals so you can rest easy having your pet with me. I have a bachelors in fish and wildlife conservation ecology and my love for all animals runs strong. As for cats, I can drop in to feed them or play with them or just give attention too. It is always hard saying goodby to the pets I watch because I try to treat them with as much care and affection as possible and really bond with them. I currently work for the courts from 8-5 M-F, I have weekends and most holidays free. I am happy to do drop ins or stay with your pet for an extended period of time! I will not be able to watch any pets in my home, but I will take care of your pet in your home in any manner that you need. I will maintain cleanliness and keep your home well organized and taken care of while watching your pet. I will make sure to be communicative with you as quickly as possible and send lots of pictures while you are away!

“Samantha was great with our Corgi puppy! She was available last minute, very caring for our dog, and thorough with her visit. We would recommend her to anyone in the area!”

About: 🐾 My Daily Pet Care Routine I provide a comfortable, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I work to follow each pet parent’s normal routine as closely as possible while making sure their pup receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. 🌅 Morning: Our first outdoor potty break is typically between 7:00–8:00 AM. ☀️ Lunch: Around lunchtime, we head outside for a good walk and potty break, giving your pup an opportunity to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air. 🍽️ Dinner: Dinner and another outdoor break are typically around 6:00–7:00 PM. I will always follow your preferred feeding schedule and instructions. 🌙 Bedtime: We have one final walk and potty break between approximately 8:00–10:00 PM before settling in for the night. 🐕 On-Site Dog Park My apartment community has an on-site dog park, which gives us another convenient option for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. The space may be especially comfortable for smaller breeds, although I regularly see dogs of different sizes using it for quick outdoor and potty breaks. Our community also provides dog waste stations and complimentary poop bags, making it easy to keep the area clean and comfortable for everyone. 🦴 Pet Supplies & Feeding I come prepared with dog bowls, treats, and dog food. However, I strongly encourage pet parents to provide their dog's usual food whenever possible so we can avoid unnecessary dietary changes or upset stomachs. I will follow the feeding schedule, portions, treats, and other instructions you provide. ❤️ Lots of Love Included Affection is always included! I love giving my four-legged guests cuddles, attention, companionship, and plenty of love. After losing my beloved dogs Mylo and Leo, caring for other people's pets has become especially meaningful to me. Every pup who stays with me gets treated with kindness and affection while their family is away. 💜 Affordable Pet Care If you look at my listed rates and they're outside your current budget, please don't hesitate to message me anyway. Tell me about your pet, the dates you need care, and what you're working with financially. When possible, I'm happy to discuss adjustments and find an arrangement that works for both of us. I understand that expenses can add up quickly, especially in today's economy. I want dependable, loving pet care to remain accessible while still providing your pet with the attention and quality of care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.
