About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs since I was little, I have also taken care of my own since I was a teenager. I have two puppy's one who is a year and 6 months who is my best friend, I also have an 8 month old. I love all animals. I can help train a bit with basics if need be, am very patient and caring. I am able to take on walks, to the park or just hang out if needed. I can also give baths if they need one. I understand all dogs are unique and have different needs and am willing to help. I currently work part time, Tuesday through Friday. So I will have plenty of time to check in on, take on walks/ to parks and just play with your animals. I can also bring my puppy along for other dogs if you would like so they have someone to play with or just learn to be around other dogs! I can either take care of your pet in your home or in mine if needed. I do have a fenced yard and a puppy of my own. Who is friendly with other dogs and can play/ keep your dog company if you would like. I know how crates work and am willing to learn the routine you have for your animal. (Food/crate/sleeping habits).

“Imani is the best! My dogs feel so comfortable around her. Ever since she started walking them my dogs have been less stressed out. I am so glad to have met her.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 15 years and grew up helping establish and run a local animal rescue on our family’s property. From a young age, I was involved in daily care, intake, and working with dogs of all temperaments before leaving for the military at 19. Today, I share my home with multiple dogs of my own and understand how important structure, supervision, and thoughtful introductions are in a multi-dog environment. I’m currently completing a professional dog training certification, so I bring a behavior-aware, training-informed approach to every stay (though I don’t offer formal training through Rover). I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, and higher-energy personalities. Your dog will have predictable routines, supervised interaction, enrichment, and a calm, well-managed home environment. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m home frequently throughout the day and my schedule allows for consistent supervision, structured exercise, and enrichment. Boarding dogs are integrated thoughtfully into our routine with predictable rest, activity, and downtime. I live on rural property with a securely fenced yard, separate fenced field, and manage a structured multi-dog household. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully and supervised during interactions. I prioritize calm energy, clear boundaries, and safe management at all times. Crating is available if needed for rest, safety, or owner preference. I follow each dog’s routine closely and am comfortable managing large breeds, working breeds, and higher-energy personalities. Your dog’s physical safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities.

About: With over six years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs, cats, and even small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing special care for senior pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to give your pet the love, attention, and comfort they deserve while you're away. As a part-time nursing student and mom of two, I’ve learned how to balance a busy schedule with care and attention to detail. qualities that I also bring to pet care. I work relief shifts as a behavioral health support specialist, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time during the day and weekends to dedicate to animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring is what I do, whether it’s my own kids or someone’s beloved pet, I’m fully committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax! I live in a duplex with a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my space or at a client’s home, I follow their usual routines closely; including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Sarah did a great job giving Lilith her walk and hanging out with her to make she drank her water. Thank you Sarah!”

About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general.  I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!

“Jada was sooooo amazing! Best rover experience I’ve had this far. I was an idiot and forgot to update my address and she ended up traveling to my new address without any difficulty and reassured the entire situation!! Highly highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. For a majority of my childhood, I had four dogs (three chihuahuas and a golden labrador) and two birds (a cockatiel and indian ring neck). When I moved out, I brought two dogs and a bird with me and took care of them as they aged. I have spent years volunteering for an animal shelter and I have experience giving medications and taking care of animals in general. I am a first year medical student so scheduling is best on weekends or after 4pm until June. I will be on summer break from early June to August which means I will be free to help out with your pet! Safety and trust are very important to me. I will take every precaution to ensure your pet is as safe as possible. I value communication and will let you know if I have any questions or concerns regarding your animal.

“Lauren did a great job with Cleo! You could tell she took good care of her :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the moment I could walk and talk. I’ve been called the dog whisperer by many friends, family, strangers. I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. I will make sure your pup is well cared for and loved! I currently dont have a job so im pretty much free to help whenever you need! I do have a 5 month old baby that may or may not come with me. I’ll take your dog on walks around the neighborhood! If that’s what they’re into of course. If not, I’ll make sure we get some quality time inside and outside either playing or cuddling. I’ll make sure your pup gets the right amount of food and water.

About: My personal dog and I have experience on high elevation mountains that are demanding physically and mentally. We will be able to provide your dog with an enriching experience in nature while staying safe. I am a traveling school speech therapist assistant currently on summer break looking for side jobs to keep me afloat and save money for graduate school. I have my own vehicle and my own large breed dog that will always accompany on my pack walks. We will hit hiking trails starting at 4:30am to be done with the walks by 8am during the Arizona summer.

“Jill was very patient and understanding when walking our nervous dog. The walk went well, and Jill made our shy dog more comfortable.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress while their owners are away. I’ve also helped reinforce basic training with puppies, such as leash walking and consistency with commands. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, not just watched. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners always feel at ease. I’m also patient and adaptable, which is especially important for nervous or older pets who may need extra time and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize being consistent and reliable for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed.

I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets at all times, making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and removing any potential hazards.

About: I've been working with animals in vet clinics and shelters all over the country for most of my life. I'm very dedicated to my work with animals and take pride in the quality care and attention I give my clients. Add-on services: • Basic Bath - $35 (shampoo/toenail trim/ear cleaning for dogs, brush coat/toenail trim/ear cleaning for cats) • Reiki with Intuitive Reading session - $75 (1 hour), you'll receive video clips and pictures of your pet relaxing and being pampered. I'm Master Level trained and animals absolutely LOVE these treatments! • A stop at Starbucks for a yummy PupCup or a fun stroll around Petco to pick out a special treat - $15 My animal clients are treated with care and compassion and are my number 1 priority. I limit the number of animals that I accept so that clients always get my undivided attention and we aren't ever rushing through the appointments. I send lots of pics and updates with each visit/service so the pet parent is always involved, even while on vacation and away from their animal family members.

About: My dogs ARE my kids and never ask to borrow the car! I have had pets all my life. I grew up in a not so traditional house where we had practically a zoo! We had dozens of turtles, amphibians, cats, some birds, and lots of fish. One constant loved one we had in the house was a dog. My main job growing up was to care for, feed, walk (and love!) the family dog. I've taken these responsibilities into adulthood and have had always one furry friend, and currently my wife and I care for two. In the photos on my profile, you can meet my two little ones, Jack is the Chihuahua/terrier mix and Dolly, the Rat Terrier. They get all the love they deserve, multiple walks daily, fed an organic grain free diet, and of course obedience training with treats. When I'm anywhere and theres a dog around, I will want to ask if I can meet them. I have a really special place in my heart for ALL the babies! I am self employed through and though and am able to accomadate just about any schedule. I have a schedule with my own pups and know how important it is to maintain those habits. I also have a housemate and my wife to fill in if I'm unable to walk multiple times a day. I prioritize timing for pets and know they're completely dependent on me. You can expect that same level of care for your furry friends. Depending on you and your pets needs, I can walk, feed, have play time, and sit with your dog in your house. I'm able to stay with them, do drop ins, accommodate if your dog is crate trained, you name it. I know how having a new person in the home can be a little stressful for dogs, but I'll do what ever it takes to keep everyone calm, fed, and exercised. Each pet is a unique and so is how I care for them.

“Paula did a great job and was flexible and responsive for someblast minute walks!”
