About: Hello fellow fur-parents! 🐾 My name is Alivia, but most call me Lu. 👋🏻 If you’re looking for a dedicated, experienced caregiver for your beloved pet, I’m here to help. With over 15 years of experience owning, fostering, and providing care for a wide range of pets, I bring both passion and expertise to every interaction. Most recently, I worked as a Behavioral Consultant at a local Pet Hospital for four years before transitioning to in-home care services. Thanks to support from family, I have the flexibility to offer specialized, reliable pet care services. As a PSI (Pet Sitter International) Certified provider, I’m open for bookings and offer a variety of services tailored to pets of all sizes, types, and temperaments. While I’m not currently offering boarding, I’m happy to come to you and prioritize a clean, safe, and stimulating environment for your pet. Every service is personalized to meet your pet’s specific needs, and I’ll keep you updated with a detailed report after each visit. Communication is essential, so please feel free to reach out with any questions as we plan the perfect care for your pet. I'm happy to help, and I look forward to providing you and your pet with well deserved exceptional care. Warm regards, Alivia (Lu) 🐾 I am fortunate enough to be an in-home aid for my mother, along side my two sisters, making my schedule extremely flexible. I am here to work around the Clients schedule, not my own. Each service is personalized and catered to your pets needs, wants and boundaries. Pets will be returned to the care of their owner & given a summary of services provided, behavior while being serviced & any other necessary information regarding your pets experience. It is important to me to keep owners as involved & updated as possible.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.

About: Im passionate about all animals! When your pet stays with me they will spend the day doing puzzles, playing on the pawsome playground, and enjoying TLC. I offer new chew toys and treats and lots of love! I am a homemaker with free availability, I wake up early and spend a lot of time outdoors. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a nice sized backyard and lots of indoor activities: puzzles, new chew toys and more. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

About: I've always had a love for animals and have had an animal in my life since I was a child. They truly are a joy and are so sweet, smart, and intuitive! I don't currently have my own fur baby which makes Rover such a great experience. I enjoy meeting all the different and new friends. ;) Animals aren't just pets they are a part of the family and need the same love and care. When I care for your fur babies I always hope to provide a positive and loving experience for them while you're away. I’ve been with Rover and doing Animal care professionally for a little over two years. If you’re looking for a pet nanny to give some extra love and care I’m your gal! :) My schedule is very flexible as I am self employed. So this allows me to be available for extra love and all your pet care needs :) I know it can be a little nerve wracking for your pets or you as a pet owners to leave your pets (and home) alone especially with someone new! I hope to make a calm and joyful experience for your fur babies especially if they have separation anxiety. I can give as much love, care, and play time needed to soothe these moments. All animals are different and I like to cater to that. Getting a new babysitter can be off putting for anyone… haha I feel animals are more comfortable when they get to stay in their own environment instead of having to acclimate to new spaces and energy. During the stay I will provide lots of fun photo updates so you can stay up to date on all of our adventures and cuddle moments! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!

About: Hi Friend! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs, big and small (ie. pugs, pit bulls, Dobermans). I am also a Doberman mom. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule. However, I am more consistently available in the mornings and on the weekends. I am happy to make your pet care a part of my weekly routine. :) I provide care in my client’s home according to the guidelines they provide me with. It is imperative that I ensure that their pet feels safe and respected when I am providing care.

About: I specialize in taking care of cats, dogs, fish chickens and more. I love the outdoors and being around all animals. I grew up on a farm in a little village in Ireland and I was surrounded by all kinds of animals. I spent some time as a nanny in Portugal and now I'm a professional pet nanny. As a lifelong animal owner I have also been pet and animal sitting for friends, family and clients for over 35 years. Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Pigs, Fish, Frogs, Goats, Donkeys, Ponies and Horses… I have fed, medicated and cared for them all. I am trustworthy, dependable and I will treat your fur family member just like my own. I'm not afraid of a little hard work or a nervous fur baby. I am a Level 2 Reiki provider I know how to connect with animals on a spiritual energy level in a calm manner which in turns gains their trust and can help relax them if they are anxious or have separation anxiety. I am happy to administer medications. All of my cats can do tricks for treats such as sit, high five, spin around, give the paw and meow on command. Cats are smart! I would love to be considered for all your pet and housesitting needs. I have never met an animal I didn't love. Working from home affords me a very flexible schedule. I am looking for pet owners in my local area that need a reliable caring drop in or full time care home & pet sittings. I will clean up after the pets and myself, collect mail and take out trash and water up to 10 plants if needed free of charge. If you have more than 10 plants or need a garden watered I am happy to help please request additional plant care at time of request/Meet & Greet. I can provide services in your home where your pet is most comfortable. Please note that per Rover guidelines each overnight stay is for a period of 24 hours per night charge. If additional time is needed after an initial overnight there will be an additional "half daycare" or "full daycare" charge, the amount can be discussed at the meet and greet and will depend on the amount of hours/ pets and extras such as medications or special needs. Please note that Extended stay rates listed are charged per day for the entire stay per night once the stay is 7 days or more. Drop In Only: Please note...my daily drop rate to hourly charges applies when a Drop in Only is requested with no overnight prior, rates are listed in my service rates. Just click on Services. Exotic or farm animal care prices will vary depending on the animals. Please contact for pricing and please be transparent about all the animals needing care and medications upfront. PLEASE NOTE: Rover terms of service require all animals in the household to be added to the booking for transparency and for their Rover Guarantee to be valid. This applies regardless of auto feeding, auto water bowls or auto litter boxes which can fail, be knocked over, spill or shut off in a power outage. Cats are considered companion animals and need care and attention and someone to monitor their health and emotional wellness. I am not currently providing boarding services at this time. I am happy to follow any masking, hand washing and sanitizing practices during Meet & Greet and visits if needed, please request prior so I can be prepared in advance. Thank you so much for your consideration, I would love to meet your pets/animals and see if it's a good fit for everyone. Please send me a message if you would like a 100% FREE 30 minute meet and greet. Thanks so much for looking and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! :) Aoife (EEEEEFAAH) I work from home as an artist so my schedule is very flexible. I have 4 indoor cats that are taken care of by my family while I am on overnights. I love to spend quality time with the animals I care for and I make sure that I interact with them frequently such as playtime, treat time, feeding time, puzzles, relaxing time and walks if needed. During the meet and greet I try to get an idea of what the animals routine is from their owner so that I can make the transition as smooth as possible causing less anxiety and stress for the animals while they are in my care.

About: I’ve pet sat for over 10 years for friends & family. I’d love to care for yours. I have two tabby’s who are well trained and have been around dogs in the past. My pup unfortunately passed away last summer and I’m not ready to get on full time but would love to care for yours as I cared for her and give them the best experience while you’re away. I have the weekend free, Columbia and I tend to go on hikes and or at the park. During the week, I go home directly to let my own dog out to the bathroom. I will follow any instructions following your pet. I understand how important consistency is. We have a side yard for playing, potty breaks or sunbathing.

“Alyssa was great getting booked on short notice! She was timely, sent good pictures, and my pup liked his time with her!”

About: Since 2021 I’ve fostered 2 cats and 2 dogs and have found them each their perfect forever homes. I love animals and love making sure that they’re cared for and taken care of. Trails, parks, and beaches, oh my! Oh the places that your little furry friend and I will go 🐶🐾🦮 As a veteran enrolled in law school full time, I understand the importance of time management and responsibility. Most of my availability will be during the week after class and in between studying, with more time typically opening up on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my apartment complex but I will make sure that your pet continues to feel right at home in their own environment. I’ll cater my care to any dietary or medical treatments and medications and will ensure that they are properly exercised.
