“Ashley has been amazing with our pup! We have a very anxious dog who does not like new people, and Ashley did such a good job with her, working at her speed and building rapport. We have also had a kind of crazy schedule with some last-minute changes, and Ashley has been so flexible. We appreciate her so much.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was little. I have helped family and friends take care of their pets when they are out of town. I am a stay at home mom so this gives me plenty of time to care for your pets when you are out of town. To ensure your pet is safe and will not escape and well taken care of I would make sure fence gates and or house doors are shut and locked
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have been raised around dogs my whole life and have plenty of cat care experience as well! I have a history of working at PetSmart as a dog bather, so I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs and whatever special care they might have needed. I am a full time employee, and work mainly in the mornings. If anything is needed in the morning, I can definitely work around my schedule to take care of you fur babies!

“Shelly is AMAZING! Truly one of the BEST! We are so lucky we found her to care for our dogs. She was so kind, patient, and very understanding of each of our dogs personalities. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future!”
About: Since I could open my eyes, there has been a dog in front of them. Growing up, my family bred and raised AKC yellow labs. I also worked for a horse/dog breeder, helping take care and market Aussie puppies. I also have experience with senior dogs. My senior lab lost all function in his hind end towards the end of his life and I was his primary care giver. Senior care was the hardest and most fulfilling job I’ve had. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and I have been working in a clinic setting for almost a year now. I am taking a break from the clinic to focus on school and enjoy my summer. Send your furry friends my way!❤️🐾 I’m doing some other little side jobs but I am free otherwise. I have school that I need to attend to daily. I was working at a veterinary clinic but I am now taking a break to focus on school and enjoy the summer. I am also offering nail trims for an extra charge ;) I have two dogs at my house that are not friendly to other dogs. This means that I will be strictly keeping dogs at owners houses, streets, towns, etc. and there will be no chance of interaction between my dogs and any other dogs ☺️
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young. I have loved, cared for many different breeds of dogs big and small and kittens and cats. I know making sure your pets are cared for when your away is very important. I will take great care of them. I am currently a stay at home momma <3 I will have to bring my 4 year old sometimes with me but he listens very well and loves animals. If drop in visit for dogs I will feed your dog and see if they want to play or go for a walk if needed. I will hang out with them and take care of any other needs. If Drop in for cats I will feed them, will pet them and hang out with them if they want and take care of any other needs.
“Michael took great care of my 3 kitties while I was away. They spread litter everywhere and Michael was great about keeping it cleaned up. He sent photos evey day as well. I will definately ask him to watch them again if the need arises.”
About: As the small business owner of dog daycare and pet boarding facility since 2017, I know how important it is for pet parents like you and me to find quality pet services with the highest of standards for care and safety. While I still own and operate my boarding and daycare facility, the increase in demand for in-home pet sitting for geriatric, timid, or just flat out spoiled pets (they deserve it!) has peaked my interest, and I’d love to be able to continue to contribute my professional pet care knowledge and experience to pet parents like you in a more 1:1 setting. Prior to owning my business, I worked at a pet hospital for a couple years learning how to properly care for and handle anxious, timid, and wiggly dogs and cats, which I have been able to grow significantly in my pet boarding and daycare career. I am no stranger to medication administration and other special care needs (whether behavioral or physical) and truly enjoy getting to know each pet (and their parents!) who I have the honor to work with 1:1. Transparency, excellent communication, safety, and reliability are all incredibly important to me when it comes to working with pet parents like yourself. Whether through my own pet care business or through Rover, I never want a pet parent to worry about their pet's care, safety, or comfortability while away, which I practice through daily updates and 24/7 availability to communicate. Additional services can be discussed during our initial meet-and-greet! When I'm not working, I enjoy caring for my own pets, including several horses, goats, two golden retrievers, a couple barn kitties, a cockatiel, and guinea pig. Since I'm a remote business owner, I have relatively flexible and open availability during the week, over weekends, and during the holidays! While advance notice is highly preferred and recommended, I can usually squeeze in overnight or daytime drop-in visits and walks for emergencies and last minute plans. I am more than happy to cater to your preferences when it comes to entering and leaving your home including triple checking doors and gates are locked, crating your pup before leaving (if desired), checking for and cleaning up after any messes, leaving lights on or ensuring they're turned off before departing, etc. If no specific instructions are given, I will treat your home as I would my own, and reach out to you with any questions, concerns, or updates.
“Schellene was reliable and has an understanding of cats, especially our shy kitty. She sent us photos and notes to keep us informed of our cat's progress. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have experience with all sorts of animals and as long as you teach me I'm fine with pets who need meds, or have special diets. I have 2 dogs at home, and 1 cat and i have experience with other animals too. I am licensed so transportation isn't an issue. I'm just trying to earn a little extra cash while going to school, and I love animals so being able to spend time with pets makes me happy. I am 23 years old. I do school online and work from home, so schedule is pretty flexible! Only times I’m gone is for about a 3 hour period student teaching. I try to treat them as my own, I’m a big animal lover so I’ll do everything in my capacity to make sure your pet is loved and comfortable while your away.
About: I love dogs. My husband and I are empty nesters. We have a labradoodle and no cats. I work remotely at home and in the veterinary field. I currently work full time but have a home office and work from my home and have a flexible schedule. Your dog will have lots of attention. I have a large fenced in yard. We have a 9 year old neutered male Labradoodle, Charlie. Lots of dog toys and treats to share.
About: My name is Alexandria, or Alex. I currently work full time at a animal hospital as a vet assistant. In the past I have worked for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. I am a HUGE animal lover and would love to spend more time walking/pet sitting animals. I also have my license and a car. I enjoy spending time outdoors and am a natural resources + forestry graduate so I have rain gear and would love to walk your dog rain or shine! Growing up, I've always had dogs, cats, chickens and fish! I dog/house sit for all of my family members and their friends. Whether you're looking for someone to cuddle up with your dogs or someone to take them hiking, running or to the dog park, I am more than happy to! Why I love dog sitting I love dogs and being outside. I've had experience with all dog breeds. I have also had experience with different age groups, from puppies to seniors. I have experience administering medication by mouth or subcutaneously. I can also take care of household chores, mail, garbage, plants, pool, hot tub, etc. I am able to board dogs that aren't fixed at my house. I work 4 8-10 hour days during the week, but for sure have weekends and holidays off to fully take care of your pet(s). I get one day off a week as well. My boyfriend also always has Fridays off and is great with animals. They often love him more than me! We both love animals and they are always treated like a family member. I live on 10 acres in Colton, so I have a great area for your dog to run around. The property is mostly fenced, but a dog that likes to run off can easily escape if they wanted to. I don't let dogs outside unsupervised though, especially after dark.
“I am absolutely amazed and thrilled to have had Tattum look after my Purrsilla.. we had to troubleshoot some key issues while I was out of town, and Tattum exercised problem solving to a t. Purrsilla looks amazing and well fed and looked after. I'm extremely pleased and hope to work with Tattum in the future.”
About: I’m a professional pet sitter. I have experience with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, fish, and chickens. I grew up with big dogs. I started pet-sitting almost ten years ago. I’ve slowly grown my business to be able to offer services in a limited range outside of the greater SE Portland metro area. Outside of pet care, I work part-time, so I am able to spend most of the day with your pets. I usually have my calendar updated 2-3 months in advance. All of my house-sitting bookings include complimentary light housekeeping. My favorite aspect of animal care is bonding and learning to communicate with each individual. Looking for an experienced sitter with a flexible schedule? Look no further. I'm available to attend to your animals' every need. I would love to hear more about your pet's needs and routine. I value safety and I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe. When working with new animals, I like to begin by providing food or treats. This tends to soothe temperaments. If I'm just meeting the animal, I will talk to them softly while they eat. After they eat, I make sure they have access to the bathroom. When working with a new dog, I am conscious of my movements. I try to encourage play and interaction without making the animal feel trapped or cornered. Before leaving a client's home, I double-check that the animals are taken care of, the stove is off, and the doors are locked.

He is always relaxed and happy when we return. She keeps us updated with regular check ins and photos giving us total peace of mind while we are away. She’s also treated our home with respect, leaving it just as we left it (if not better!) It’s such a comfort to know we can trust someone completely with our fur baby and home. We wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate and trust worthy sitter!”
Alexandria S.
“I was in a bit of a bind. I had a relative pass away not to long ago, and I needed to leave town for the better part of a week on pretty short notice, and I knew I couldn't bring my lab, Roxy. As soon as I met Alexandria I knew she was perfect for my dog, the chemistry was obvious. Roxy got excited even while she was walking up, and Alex couldn't take her eyes off her. We talked for a little bit, her and I, and Roxy nuzzled right up to her. Alex seemed like a real straight shooter, and though like any pet owner I was worried to leave her with a stranger, I took a leap of faith, and I'll never regret it. I came home to Roxy seeming to like Alex more than myself, and it was almost hard to separate the two when the time came. I definitely recommend Alex very highly to all my pet owning friends. ”
Tattum A.
“I am absolutely amazed and thrilled to have had Tattum look after my Purrsilla.. we had to troubleshoot some key issues while I was out of town, and Tattum exercised problem solving to a t. Purrsilla looks amazing and well fed and looked after. I'm extremely pleased and hope to work with Tattum in the future.”
Erica S.
“A couple of months ago I went on a 7 day vacation and left my dog with Erica at her house. I left him with a bag full of his favorite toys, treats and food along with his dog bed. Throughout my trip she sent me photos of him on leash walks on her farm and pictures of him trying out some her dogs chew toys. My dog barely even wanted to leave when I came to pick him up. She had someone with him 24/7 and took him out frequently on her farm with her own dog. She even mentioned that my dog was more comfortable in her room during bed time on some blankets rather than his bed, so she made a nice sleeping space that he was happy in so that he could sleep with her. I was also impressed to discover that my (rescued) dog who had known no tricks, does know tricks in Spanish and that Erica discovered this when bonding with him. Erica will be the only person I ask to watch my dog on vacations going forward, she did such a great job and was so attentive that I had no hesitation volunteering to review her new pet sitting service profile.”
