“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”

“Her and her hubby are so sweet. My pup seemed happy. Their home was nice and clean. Everytime I'm in their neck of the woods, I'll be sure to look up their availability. My only wish is she is closer to me so I can drop off my pup more often! Lol.”

“Denise was amazing. Coffee gets anxiety being away from me and she was able to calm him down and he even jumped up in her lap for a nap by the middle of the day.”

“Angie has a great setup for dogs and was good with update texts and photos. Our rescue Goose hasn't been boarded since we got her so Angie suggested a trial daycare before a week long vacation. Goose came home from that happy and we feel good about longer stays here knowing Goose will be comfortable and cared for.”

“Michell appears very caring of our dog . Our whole experience was positive.”

“Diane was really conscientious about introducing the dogs and how my senior girl would acclimate and I really appreciated that as Lucy is not used to day care. She was flexible about time, has a nice big back yard and a calm demeanor. We will stay again if back in the area!”

“I cant even explain what an amazing find Ruthie is to our adventures and needing a safe, fun and structured home for our labradoodle. For a home away from home, Ruthie is a national treasure! Whether its a few hours or overnight, i am sure our doggie will be cared for, lovingly watched and treated like family. If we could give her more stars for a bonus we would!!! Thank you Ruthie!!”

“Incredible care! Alisa provided amazing care for my sweet baby dog! And on short notice! Which she doesn’t normally do, but she made an exception, and I am so grateful that she did! Minnie absolutely loved her day there and her time with Alisa!!! definitely will be back! Makes me feel safe and at ease knowing she’s receiving such great care!”

“Joel & Crystal answered all of our questions. And they are very experienced with large breed dogs. Our dog Pepper instantly made friends with these two.”

“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”

“Rosa was so helpful in caring for my dog while she recovered from an injury. Melon was so happy to see her when we got to her house so I know she was given tons of love and attention. I would recommend Rosa to anyone!”

About: I love dogs, and can't wait to meet yours! I will closely follow your instructions to provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog. I'm willing to work with you and your schedule. I'm a firm believer in the power of clear communication and honesty. You can expect regular updates, lots of love, attention, and with permission, a moderate amount of treats. My fenced yard is sufficient for pee breaks and I'm in a great location to walk over to local parks for number twos and exercise. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your dog! I'm looking forward to spending my days off with your dog! I'm especially interested in long walks with chill dogs. Always positively reinforcing good behavior with praise, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard. I'm willing to spend lots of time with your dog, doing whatever it is they love to do. My availability is my weekends so that dogs in my care will not be left alone.

“Joshua picks up my pup Whimsy every morning that I work on time and drops her off in the evening on time. She often comes back tired and happy. I feel good knowing that she gets to play with other dogs and cats while I’m at work instead of sitting at home all day!”

“Jessi was an absolute life saver! We were in town from MN and had to find quick arrangements for our pups, she was quick to respond to our request and was incredibly kind and accommodating. It’s always a little nerve wrecking using someone new but as soon as we met Jessi we knew our pups would be cared for. Little did we know she’d go above and beyond, letting them play with her pup Casper and tuckering them out thoroughly from a long walk on top of all that. I would recommend Jessi in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a place for their pup to be watched but also invited into her family and cared for like her own. Cannot thank Jessi enough!”

About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.

“Absolutely wonderful first day with Brandy! When I picked Sampson up after leaving him for the day, he wasn’t all wound up and anxious like he normally is if I leave him with a friend. He was relaxed and immediately slept the rest of the night. She tuckered a border collie out!! I will absolutely be taking him back. 100% recommend.”

About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘‍♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕‍🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘‍♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
