“Emily took great care of our two dogs while we were away for the day. She sent photos and updates, took them for a nice walk, and spent time playing with them. They had a great day!”
“Amy is a fantastic pet sitter! This was her second time watching our fur babies for an extended period of time while we were on vacation and she took such great care of them, sent daily pictures and fun little updates, and left our house spotless! Thank you, Amy!”
“Tay's stay with our two pups went beautifully. Happy dogs and happy us. So glad she could help us for an afternoon while we headed out for an extended adventure while we were visiting Bend.”
“We are so grateful to have met Skye Ann! Our dogs were so happy to see her which was so nice - you know when they truly like someone! She was so communicative and responsive, which is reassuring when we went on an across country trip. Everything was great when we got home, and that’s especially nice when you come back tired! We highly recommend Skye and hope she will be able to stay with our girls again! We loved seeing updates while so far away - thank you!!”
About: I live an active lifestyle that involves going on walks and hikes around the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I grew up with dogs around the house and would love to take care of yours! I can provide the following services; walks, med administration, poop patrol, and expert belly rubs. Currently I am a graduate student that works from home so I am avalible on the days that I do not go to classes. With this flexible schedule, it should be easy for me to fit you and your pet during the week. I have indoor cats that I love and care for. Therefore, I will not be able bring any dog or another cat into my home.
About: Hello! 🐾🦴 My name is Clare (she/her). I am an experienced dog trainer and care-giver, and I am excited to be available for house sitting as well all of your other pet-related needs. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for some dog help! 🐶 I work at a school, so I have plenty of time during the summer to be with your pup (whether that means playing with them, helping with training, taking them to the park with my dog, or cuddling on the couch).🏡 I provide individualized and engaged care for dogs of all ages. I have experience house and dog sitting (not through Rover), and I make it a priority to respect your property and your furry friend.
About: I have trained puppies to be mobility service dogs from when they were eight weeks old to two years old. I have also lived with dogs for the past 17 years. I am highly proficient in training basic skills (sit, down, stay, heel) and well-versed in positive reinforcement and praise-based training methods. I also have experience with exercising dogs both physically and through mental enrichment. I am currently working a Wednesday to Sunday schedule and am generally available after 5 pm on those days. I have much more daytime availability Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to find appropriate walks for your pets of all ages and abilities in the area. I will make sure to meet your pet's physical and mental needs and communicate clearly and effectively.
“Kim is a professional. Not only were all of my dog’s needs taken care of, but he was fully exercised and my home was left in great condition! Thank you, Kim! Communication was straightforward and I appreciated the instruction following for my dog’s meals and daily activities.”
About: I live in White Salmon WA and work in Hood River at pFriem Family brewers! I pet sit cats and dogs for friends and family but love all kinds of pets! I work 4 10hours shifts Monday-Thursday from 7am-5pm. I have availability on those days after I am done with work. I have pretty open availability from Friday-Sunday it just depends on the weekend I unfortunately do not have availability to sit your pet at my home. I am available to come and check in on your pets at home as well as stay over if they need company at night. Also have any play time or anything else your pet needs.
“Katie is a wonderful sitter, would highly recommend! We arrived home to happy pets and a thoughtfully cared for space. She did a great job making our pets feel comfortable with her. Her communication is friendly and prompt. Would definitely book again!”
“Tara was great! She took time to come meet Virginia and see the house pre sit, which put me at ease as I find discussing everything in person is more impactful than messaging back and forth. Tara left our home in perfect condition and Virginia was well taken care for. We would ask Tara to sit again in the future.”
About: I have over 15 years experience with pet sitting and I have had dogs my whole life, so I love dogs! I worked at a veterinary clinic for almost three years. I assisted with appointments but mostly took care of the all animal boarding for long periods of time. I have worked with almost every kind of dog/cat you can think of. I am also comfortable with administering medicines and caring for injured pets. I have a car so I can easily transport your pet as well for time at the river or hikes. I absolutely love animals and love being outside as well, so the two go hand in hand perfectly! I have a very flexible schedule right now and am a morning person! I love cuddling and showing animals love, it's my favorite thing! :) I do not have the ability to have pets in my home right now but will happily host them in yours, where they are more comfortable.
