About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and am well equipped to manage and take care of your pets! I'm very active, so I can handle high energy dogs that need longer walks, runs, or hikes. I'm currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can do early mornings to late afternoons. I can work around your dog or cats schedule to make sure their needs are met. As of right now I am not open to host pets at my house. If I am staying over at your house I am polite and leave the place cleaner than I found it.
“Alison was great! I felt reassured that our cat was in good hands while we were away. She took great care of him and I appreciated the updates and photos each day- this was a wonderful first-time experience and I hope Alison is available in the future for cat sitting needs :)”
“Anna was wonderful with Chiara. Chiara is very shy and it was great seeing her opening up to Anna. I was sure she was in good hands with Anna and felt better about being far away. Anna sent me updates and pictures, letting me know how Chiara was doing. I would book her again.”
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.
About: I’m a single, remote worker with no pets of my own that’s got many pets in my life who I love! I’ve done pet sitting on both coasts ranging from elderly pets like dogs and cats to your non traditional like birds, goats, chickens, and pigs. I offer personalized services for your beloved family members like reading out loud, tucking them in for bed, taking them on hikes, out for a pup cup, play time, dressing them, to watching their favorite shows. Let me love your babies and I’ll show you a happy loved one! I’m single, a work from home school counselor, and have no pets of my own so I’m flexible to come to your space to do let your pet out, do long check-ins, walks, play, to overnight or extended stays. During the school year (August to Mid-May), I take a break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and finish by 4 to 4:30pm. If you have wireless internet, I can bring my work with me so you have peace of mind your loved one can stay in their own space and not have any stress of being moved around. In my home, I do my best to make them feel at home and comfortable. I can bring their beds, toys, etc into my space and have a great, walkable area for them to explore all the smells. I am above a garage with a small porch that I can block off and hang outside with them. I love to love on your babies and introduce them to my local family and friends, especially my online students. My place is not huge, but I’ve hosted small to larger pets like labradors. For my clients, I have dropped in for a period of time, done overnights, extended stays, and even traveled and taken care of multiple pets and some farm animals to help them feel at ease knowing their babies are being taken care of like plant watering, egg harvesting, to mail and package pickup. I love to be around animals and work hard to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and a bit spoiled!
“Kali was fantastic! Provided thoughtful messages and photos. Our cats seemed to really like her :) We look forward to having her look after the cats again the next time we travel. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I have booked Kim twice to take care of our cat for a week while we were away. She did a great job. Very reliable. She sent us a photo of our cat everyday, it was nice to know he was in good hands and getting some attention.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in college. I have formed many trusting and genuine relationships with pet owners and have a true passion for animal-care. I have provided pet care in many states including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon. I am extremely reliable and take great care in my interactions with all animals I work with. I also have experience working at “Paws and Claws” for 2 years as a support staff in the kennels, during grooming appointments, and doggy-group playtime. I absolutely love animals, and would be overjoyed to spend quality time with your beloved furry friend! I work as a full time school-based speech-language pathologist during the day, giving me great hours to spend time with your animal in the morning, after school, and in the evenings. I am available on all weekdays, as well as the weekends! I am very flexible with my time and am more than happy to be flexible with your schedule. I currently live with roommates; therefore, any animal-care I provide will be in the home of the pet-owner. I am more than happy to stay with your animal(s) in the comfort of their own home.
“I cannot recommend Clare more! She was so great with my pup, he absolutely loved his time spent with her while I was away. Clare went above and beyond to make sure my pup was receiving enough exercise daily. I had scheduled drop-in visits, and she stayed longer than the 30 minutes on multiple occasions. She was more than willing to communicate through text or the app and sent plenty of photos to keep me updated. ☆☆☆☆☆”
About: Love all companion animals! Just lost my senior dog and I’m not ready for my own but I have lots of love to give! Happy to help make sure your pet is safe and loved. I work from home and have flexibility. Willing to travel short distances locally. Happy to fit my schedule to meet the needs of your pet. I have a small fenced yard and love to go on walks. Household includes 2 kids who ABSOLUTELY love animals and would love to help.
“Lady had such a fun time staying with Maggie, playing with her dogs out in the yard! I think she enjoyed being there more than being at home with me. Maggie sent regular updates and took care of Lady as if she were one of her own dogs. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter in Hood River.”
About: I’ve had my Border Collie mixed breed since she was 8 weeks old; she’s going on 6 years and is my favorite creature in the whole world. I treat animals just like their family with love, respect, care, and safety. In addition to raising my own pup, I have lived in many households with several cats and other dogs that I assisted in the caretaking of. During high school and college in Colorado, I assisted in dog walking services and house sitting (pre-Rover times). I’m responsible, honest, and a total animal-lover. I’m a server who works part-time and mostly nights. My days are very free for playing with and walking pets! I’m your go-to gal. 💜 I will get your dog at the arranged time to provide the discussed service. Whether that is letting your dog outside to potty in their own yard and playing fetch, or going on a nice long walk, that’s up to you and our arrangement! I’m very flexible and will do what is needed for the dog and owner to both be comfortable and happy.
About: Hello! I am a full time remote worker who can do my job from any private residence! I would love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re working or away. I have experience with many kinds of dogs (grew up with a Pomeranian and a Newfoundland) and recently assisted my own senior dog through medications, and mobility assistance. I also have experience taking dogs through PT exercises if needed. I work full time remote so I’m happy to set up shop at your home for the day. That means I can let your pup out any time they need a potty break, and can accommodate at least one 30 minute walk during working hours (typically around 11 am) After working hours if they need a second walk I’m happy to do so! My own home does not have a fully fenced yard so all pets would be fully supervised and leashed before going outside. I am happy to accommodate most any request, feel free to ask for what you need!
