About: We are a family that loves dogs and lead an active life! Our kiddos are 13 and 10 and are always learning proper care and respect to animals of all kinds. I have had dogs all of my life and provided training opportunities, vet visits, and love and I wouldn't have it any other way for my children. There are plenty of play opportunities for your pet, but also love a good cuddle time! We love bringing new dogs into our home and making them part of our family. Our current dogs, Hero (3), Lexi (12), and Timber (4 months) are well behaved and trained and love having friends to play with. Because we have 2 kids and 3 dogs, we only watch 1-2 other dogs at a time in order for guest dogs to adjust and relax. I work from home 3 days per week and only go into the office for about 4 hours 2 days per week. My schedule is flexible. I have a fenced dog yard and do not let Rover dogs be outside alone. I feed all the dogs separately to avoid any conflicts.
“Arianna was responsive and great with our cat! She sent thorough daily updates and clearly took very good care of our pet while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”
“Took excellent care of my senior pet, Sparkle giving medication each evening, and providing valuable time letting Sparkle to go outside and roam the backyard; allowing time for Sparkle to decided to outside or stay inside.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently out on summer break as a college student so I have a bunch of free time. I’m available weekly for any dog sitting (overnight or just throughout the day), dog walking, check-ins, etc. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
About: I grew up with dogs, I’ve lived with them my phone life and I love them! I have a 95lb Golden Retriever and a 5lb Yorkie that are best friends. I am always down to give a dog a walk, check in on them, or watch your furry friends! I work full time and I do this part time on my days off. I’m pretty flexible and love spending time with the pets on my time off! I have a fenced yard and lots of room for the doggos to run. Throwing a ball, or going on a long walk, is a great way to get their energy out. And of course they all need belly rubs! I work from weekdays, but sometimes from home. Weekends work best because of my busy schedule but you never know if another time might work out I have a fenced yard and a big garage. There are some great parks nearby and I love giving the dogs walks on the trails.
“I’ve booked Mykylie twice for drop in visits with my cat. She is absolutely fantastic! She gives caring and detailed updates daily, and takes the cutest pictures to send. She truly loves animals and I’m always so grateful for the care she takes in looking after my kitty cat.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with hunting dogs and know how to train a dog for scent training and perform tasks. I currently have a Pit Bull Mix and Pug with two very different personalities. I’ve done plenty of house sitting with dogs for various people in the community and am furthering my education on animal behavior and dog training organizations. I have created my own personal Business “Groovy Dogs Training” for Yamco area and am using this platform to build some outreach. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help benefit both your lives 💜 Tuesday -Saturday I work afternoon/evening so I am looking for Morning hours from 7:30-12:00 on those days Sunday- Tuesday I am available all hours and can even do late night checks. I always try to get a sense of what routine you and your dog do best with. Does your dog need to chill out before going on a walk I gotchu or needs to let out some energy with toy enrichment or fetch I can do that! Just let me know what works best for your fur baby or I can even help you when it comes to deciding that 💕
“Beth provided outstanding care, in the form of 2 drop-in visits per day, while I was on a trip. The update notes and pictures that Beth shared with me made it obvious my cat was very comfortable with Beth during these visits. I too, was very comfortable with Beth visiting my cat. My cat is finicky around most people but she came accepted Beth immediately. I will try to hire Beth next time I go out of town.”
About: Regularly care for my neighbors and friends pets, I am patient, loving, and will follow your instructions to care for your dogs to ensure your peace of mind. I work from home and for myself!

About: New on Rover but I am a seasoned pet sitter. 🐾 I am experienced in caring for a diverse range of pets. I am known for my calming demeanor, which is particularly beneficial for pets that exhibit anxiety or shyness. I too have anxiety, but when I am with animals they make it all better ☺️. That is why this job is perfect for me! I do have experience with puppies and kittens and senior dogs and cats. I can administer medications and feed them any special diets. I can feed and water your reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, and other pets. Pet care is my full time job. I have my own cat at home so I do go home to check in on her if I am house sitting for the week. I am attentive to your pets needs and behavior. If they are shy or have anxiety I will give them the proper space and time to adjust to me. I am respectful of your home and your beloved pets.
About: I have over 10+ years of experience with animals after running a successful dog walking, training and sitting business in San Francisco for years, before moving to Oregon in 2020, as well as being a pet parent myself! Credentials: Pet CPR/FirstAid Certified, Fear-Free Certified Professional, Dog Training & Behavior Consulting Certified through both Dog Training Internship Academy SF & CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. I am passionate about using only positive reinforcement and science-backed training methods and continuously staying up to date with the latest information & research -- so much so that I have an entire apparel business dedicated to these methods. I work for myself and am a small business owner & graphic designer so I have the luxury of working from home full time and my work days can be quite flexible. I typically work Tues-Sat. I start my workday between 8-10am and can wrap up my day by 2-3pm with 1hr breaks between. On top of my extensive background with training and behavior I have a much more thorough understanding of animals and how they learn, how to read body language and read cues. I always check if they have food allergies so I can bring low-calorie treats for them with me to make our walks enjoyable or creating training/brain games for them to help burn off extra energy they have. I send daily updates with pictures.

She is very knowledgeable in the health and behavior factors of dogs, being able to handle dogs with difficult behaviors/skittish tendencies easily and responsibly.
