About: Neighbors, friends and coworkers have entrusted me with taking care of their pets since middle school, and my dedication to caring for both their pet and their home has left them with lasting positive impressions! I have had experience with small and large dogs, high and low maintenance animals, administering medicines and animals in the middle of training. My love for animals makes me the perfect pet sitter to care for your animal and give them a great time while you are away! I will make time for pet care whenever I can! My availability is generally free, as I am unemployed. I can only pet sit in Oregon for this summer, as I am leaving on the 18th to go to college! Staying over at the pets home is generally preferred, so night and morning care is easier! I make sure pets are always comfortable! Listening to pets needs is something I prioritize. I will follow instructions carefully in order to follow routines and pets needs, and I will accomodate most everything!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember! I have also had a special love for every animal since I was born. I am currently in school to become a veterinary.

About: Hello! Cat mom of 4-dog aunt of 5 here! I've always loved animals. Even though I have 4 of my own, it's still not enough, so I volunteer at the animal shelter! You can also catch me in a cat cafe! I'm realible, friendly, have my own mode of transportation, and always always respect animals' boundaries! (Humans' too!) Being an all cat household, I miss playtime with dogs. I would love to borrow your pup for a walk or play. Feel free to ask me any and all questions! I'm currently taking time off of working, so I'm flexible to taking care of your pet! I can be there when needed. Especially during normal work hours. I will always respect your home as if it was my own. I will also treat and love your animal as if they're my baby too!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've had the joy of sharing my life with pets since childhood. Most of my experience lies with dogs, but I genuinely love in caring for all types of animals. I understand that each pet has their own unique personality and needs. I'm committed to providing the same loving attention to your furry family member that I've given to my own. My experience includes daily walks, medication administration, and creating a calm, secure environment where pets can thrive. I believe in regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. My availability ranges from morning, afternoon, or evening. I am also available all days of the week. Please reach out and we can set up a time/date. I will watch after and take care of your fur baby like they are my own. My goal is to have your pet feel comfortable and safe.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, lots of experience caring for my own as well as others dogs. I've trained my service dog as well as taken training classes for others dogs. I work part time from 2:30-6:30 M-F, looking for some work on the side and caring for pets is something I love. Mornings and evenings work great for me I live in an apartment so I'll only be doing sitting in others homes. I will make sure your pet has all it's needs met and plenty of play time and affection.

“Erin is wonderful with my anxious dog! When my pup was having trouble trusting the walk at first, Erin moved slow and built trust with her, and they got out the door and had a nice walk. Thanks so much for being patient and kind with my girl”


About: I’ve cared for my own pets since I was a kid, I have 2 dogs and 8 cats currently. I also occasionally pet sit for my parents when they’re out of town. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a very open schedule to come care for your pet! I like to stay very active so walking and home visits are perfect for me. My kids will join me on my walks and visits, they are respectful and love animals as well! The safety of your fur baby is most important! As a fur mama and human mama myself, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of!

Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S.

About: I've dog sat for several people close to me. They have entrusted me to look over their dogs - including an elderly dog - while they were out. I have administered scheduled medications, made sure the dogs were enriched and had exercise, fed and walked, and built bonds with these dogs. My career goals all involve working and caring for animals; any opportunity to provide care to your pet would give me more experience for my future. Though I have my own animals to care for, I am currently unemployed - which means I will be able to give my time to your animals to the best of my ability whenever needed. While in your home, I will give your pet the time they need to open up to me. I will not push them to come to me. I can crate pets if needed and I don't mind sleeping in the same bed as animals. I will follow any directions I am given completely.

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover as of March 2025, but I’ve been providing pet care for many years. I teach both virtually and in person for about 6 hours a week, so I have plenty of availability outside those times to care for your pet - including walks, playtime, and snuggles! I have the flexibility to structure my daily and weekly routine in a way that allows me to give your pet the attention they need while fulfilling my responsibilities. During breaks between, teaching fitness classes, I make sure to check in and ensure they are comfortable, Your Pet care is important part of my daily routine. In the morning, I start by feeding your pet and give them plenty of pets and snuggle and letting them out to potty. During the day, I make sure they have everything they need, whether that’s a comfortable space to relax or toys to play with. In the evening, I take them on a walk, some playtime, and a final feeding.

About: Hi, friends! Thanks for checking out my page! I'm Brigitt, a lover of all furry critters (yes, trash pandas included) and current Massage Therapy student! I'm looking to establish some great friendships with the 4-legged creatures in the area - I could think of no better way to earn extra income to support me in my education! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for my sweet (and stubborn) 15-year-old terrier mutt since he was a puppy. Now that he's a senior with more advanced needs, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I have always had a cat companion in my life, and can truly appreciate their unique personalities and preferences. In addition to years of personal experience, I’ve spent time working in a veterinary clinic, which helped deepen my understanding of pet health, behavior, and how to recognize when something just isn’t quite right. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or a little slower and needs extra love, I’ll treat them like one of my own with warmth, attentiveness, and lots of care (and treats). Pet care is an integrated part of my routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals! I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends (as well as most evenings and holidays) for walks, drop-ins, or quality time. In your home, I aim to be your pet’s new favorite human (treats help). I stick to their routine, whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or some quality hangout time. For dogs who need meds, I’m happy to help - no judgment if they prefer cheese delivery. I offer calm, reliable care with plenty of belly rubs, playtime, or quiet company, depending on their vibe.

She has cared for and housed a wide range of pets, from a chinchilla to a frog, as well as more common pets like cats and dogs. She always maintains a positive attitude and excels at time management. I’ve never once heard her say, “I can’t do it.” She constantly strives for greatness.

Brigitt H.
“Brigitt is a kind, compassionate, and deeply practical individual. I always know I can depend on her whenever I need to watch over my senior cat, and I rest easy knowing that he will be very responsibly looked after. Brigitt has a senior dog of her own that I know she takes excellent care of and that is very comforting for me to know as a senior pet owner myself. It can be so nerve-wracking to leave my special little guy with anyone but I've seen that Brigitt isn't afraid of a little cattitude or litter (or if it's a doggy, long walks and poop bags!)”
