About: Hiya! I’m a newer resident of the Portland area with a longtime background of caring for pets of friends and family hoping to fill a need in you and your pet’s lives. I love going on longer walks/excursions with dogs but also love just spending time in the neighborhood. I’m currently a part time post grad student looking to do some pet care during the day on weekdays, I can do weekends but mostly I’m looking for people wanting and needing pet time during their day to day work schedules when they can’t get home. I’m hoping to be as seamless into your life and schedule as possible. That means being in your house minimally, keeping you updated on times but not too buggy, keeping pets watered, and being in and out.
“Allison did a fantastic job! She is communicative, responsible and very creative. It was fun to get her updates to hear how she kept our kittys entertained while we were out of the house. It's clear she has a love for animals 😻”
“Joy was amazing to work with! She kept us updated daily on our fur baby and sent lots of pictures. Joy also contacted us on the 4th of July to see if she could help turn on fans to drown out some of the fireworks noise! We super appreciated her just checking in and thinking outside the box when we didn't! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Shannon was absolutely great with Benji! He was loved and cared for so well while we were gone and I really appreciated the communication and picture/video updates. I could tell Benji was at ease and really enjoying his time with her!!”
“Olivander was GREAT!!! He was able to help me on such a short notice when I had to go to a business conference with stopping in to help take care of my 3 dogs. Took pictures while he was there and gave dogs butt scratches!! We appreciate olivander so much and would recommend him highly.”
“Hannah takes very good care of our pet while away. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pet has everything she needs. Hannah communicates well and very respectful of our home.”
“Celina was wonderful! I was nervous about leaving our cat for 2 weeks but she was so great! She sent us updates and photos every day and it made me happy knowing he was well taken care of.”
About: I have grown up with both cat and dogs my entire life and was raised on how to take care of them! I was always the person growing up that friends and family reached out to when they needed a dog or cat sitter. I've also worked as a dog walker through a previous service as well. I am currently in between jobs so I am available all week between 6am and 10pm. I am off on the weekends but can make exceptions in some cases. When dropping in or walking pets I make sure they are safe and sound. I check to make sure they have water or food, clean and are happy. I triple check to make sure when entering and leaving that doors are locked and the pets are safe inside. On walks I am familiar with all harness types and make sure they are secure in my hold. I am also aware of my surroundings to make sure no dangers are around and that the pet is behaving normally.
“Gage did such a wonderful job helping with our little fur babies. He made sure that they were fed and made sure their litter box was cleaned. We let him know that we would throw out the litter and that he didn’t have to do that but he went above and beyond and took care of that on his own. Gage we will absolutely keep you as our #1 the next time we have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
About: A little about me, I love all things pets and animals in general. I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, hamsters and even helped with birds. I just love animals. I do currently work full time from home. I can set up my work station anywhere, I just need access to a WiFi router. My job is pretty flexible. I do have 2 cats of my own. I recently had to say goodbye to my senior pup due to cancer. I am not currently ready for another pup but that is why I love doing this, I get to love on other people’s pups. I know animals have boundaries, so I would honor those for your animal. I can help crate or do whatever you think is best. I would never put a pet in harms way.
“It was great to work with Kate during the time she cared for our pet rabbit over the week we were away. She was very responsive and communicative, following all care instructions without issue. We know our bun was happy to have a visitor twice a day! Kate also helped out with a few household items while we were away which was very helpful and appreciative. We look forward to working with her again.”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. My family has always had dachshunds with personalities ranging from fun and playful to shy and reserved. I have experience caring for dogs of all kinds! I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have nothing but free time to take care of your pets! I’ll be home until September if you need someone reliable and consistent. I care for pets with kindness and communication. I’m a responsible student who knows how to pay attention to detail and give your pet the care they require. I will be sure to keep you updated with photos and messages. I genuinely care about animals and would love to provide a great experience for your pet!
“Alicia is the best! She is so patient and kind. We have a very reactive dog and she came back week after week to work with him and to earn his trust to hopefully build up to overnight stays. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Kelly did such an amazing job watching our pup! She kept us updated during the entire trip and we knew he was in good hands. She was very caring and it is apparent she is passionate about what she does. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a large family, I helped care for countless dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also spent plenty of time around cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I currently have a bunny of my own, which has given me even more experience with providing attentive, compassionate care and understanding how important pets are as members of the family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're apart. I am currently not working and studying for my real estate license this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability is wide open most days, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Because I spend much of my time studying from home, I can provide reliable attention, frequent check-ins, and flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet's needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute care, or extra attention for your furry family member, I'm happy to help! I treat my pets as members of my family and make sure their physical and emotional needs are always met. I provide a consistent routine with proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off. As a bunny owner, I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I also know that every animal has a unique personality and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply companionship, I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, secure, and cared for.
“Olivia was a fantastic and very appreciated resource to watch my cat Otto during a recent multi-day drop in visit that was needed. She provided lots of attention and love to Otto giving everything I wished for him while I was gone including lots of playtime, feeding supplements, sharing pictures and all the cuddles. I hope to absolutely use her again for the next time I will be out of town and need someone to drop-in.”
About: I have over 12 years of personal pet care experience from growing up with and caring for my own pets. As a full-time physical therapy student, I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and compassionate. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including senior animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, grooming, and medication routines. My background gives me a special sensitivity to mobility and health needs, making me a calm, attentive sitter who treats pets like family. I’m currently a full time graduate student. As of right now, I am off for the summer and am available during most weekdays and weekends until the beginning of August 2026. I enjoy spending my free time staying active and caring for animals, so pet sitting is a natural and rewarding part of my weekend! I provide care in the client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or crate time. I always aim to keep pets happy, safe, and stress free while their owners are away.

Somerset West cat parents share their Rover experiences
Joy takes such wonderful care of our 3 cats. I’m an anxious person and leaving them alone used to make me nervous, but Joy goes above and beyond for them. She gives very detailed updates and pictures with every visit. She stays to play with them and clean their box, and she even lets them outside on their catio when she visits. She’s a wonderful cat sitter with a great heart. She’s very communicative, attentive, and sweet. My boys love her and we’re so happy to have her as their caregiver.
Alejandra did an excellent job of caring for my pets while I was out of town! After sending the booking request, she immediately reached out to me and was able to stop by for a new client visit on the same day! She was a breeze to work with and gave me updates and pictures each day. My cats were well cared for and I came back to a happy household. I will definitely be re-booking with Alejandra for the foreseeable future.
Liv was amazing!! Even with our spicy kitty, she was able to take such a huge relief off our shoulders since we knew they were in good hands. She communicated effectively, followed directions, and eased our minds with the report cards. I would absolutely have her come back!!
Tori is the real deal. We have complicated care routines for our pets and she followed every single instruction without missing a beat. Tori did it flawlessly. You could tell she genuinely cared, not just going through the motions. We came home to happy, relaxed animals. She's the only sitter we'll request from now on.
Gage did such a wonderful job helping with our little fur babies. He made sure that they were fed and made sure their litter box was cleaned. We let him know that we would throw out the litter and that he didn’t have to do that but he went above and beyond and took care of that on his own. Gage we will absolutely keep you as our #1 the next time we have to go out of town. Thank you so much.
