“Kim is the most phenomenal person for pets and house and everything in between. Her attention to detail and true genuineness is unmatched. Good people still exist and Kim is one of them. I will definitely continue to seek her out for our family. She loves the animals and really understands each pet and their different needs and adapts to whatever the challenge may be, effortlessly.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up around animals has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications and can confidently follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends when I’m most available. I make it a priority to be there for pets when their owners are busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand after a long day. I’m consistently available for evening drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship before settling in for the night. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits, extended care, or last-minute bookings. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I build my schedule around giving them the time, consistency, and care they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested, whether I’m in my home or yours. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax, consistent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive to details and experienced in administering medications if needed, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“We feel so lucky to have found Carla to care for our dog Tucker. She's responsible, reliable, professional and Tucker loves her. We went on a 30 day vacation, the first time we ever left him for so long, and we were only able to do it because we trusted that he was in good hands with Carla. She kept our home impeccably clean, dealt with snow and walks in single digit weather, all with a 'go with the flow' attitude. She sent pictures and videos of our happy pup and reassured us that all was well and we were able to have a relaxing vacation, knowing Tucker was well cared for. It was also helpful that Carla works from home because Tucker is used to having someone around and didn't have to break his routine. All in all, I highly recommend Carla for your persisting needs.”

About: I’ve never not had a pet in my house hold, owning cats, dogs, and even lizards and hamsters over the years. Growing up I also pet sat for birds, snakes, dogs, cats, and fish as well as worked on a horse farm for two summers. My own personal dog is a senior lad at the age of 14 years and have a kitten at home. Ive worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pups, kitten and full grown cats. I love to spend time playing and petting them (if thats what they want) and will do my best to love them a fraction of what you do to keep them happy while you’re away! I work in Portland until 4pm every week day and get back to the area around 5. I would be free to care for your pets from around 5:30pm-6:20am. I can feed, walk, brush, pet, and/or play with any of the animals you may have tailoring to whatever best suits their needs, I am an animal lover and want to best support the critters in any way I can in your absence.

About: I have had pets in my household since being a young boy. I have raised and taken care of cats, dogs, geese, chickens, cattle and pigs.I currently have 3 cats and 4 goats I am raising. I love our animals and dedicate many hours each day socializing and taking care of them. I currently have most weekends available and I home most evenings during the week. I know my schedule several days and weeks ahead of time. My cats have the ability to go outside everyday. I ensure our cats are safely inside every night. My goats have a barn and pasture to live in. They have complete shelter from the elements if needed.

About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable woking with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.

“Jason was fantastic. He helped me in a pinch and was prompt, communicative and generally happy to spend time with Chloe (my dog). Received photos and updates. Very good experience, will certainly book again. Thank you Jason!”

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.

“Melissa took excellent care of our pups while we were away for the weekend! She kept in touch and sent pics and videos of them frequently. Our house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were well loved and cared for. Melissa is great with animals and made us feel good about leaving the dogs with her. She is friendly, communicative, and upbeat- a great sitter!”

“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”

“Jedan is amazing!!! She stayed at our house for about a week and cared for (and spoiled!) Kimmie as if she were her own, buying her toys/treats and even cooking for her. She kept us constantly updated with messages and photos and was extremely respectful. Looking forward to booking her again!”

“Paige is a life saver!!! I’m able to go away w no stress while she takes excellent care of my fuzzy ones! So thankful for Rover, and for Paige’s four years of helping me head out for work and vacation!!!”

“This was the first time I used Grace for house-sitting and taking care of my two dogs. It was only for one night, but I felt good after meeting with her before she took care of them. I was very comfortable leaving her with my home and taking care of the dogs.”

About: I grew up taking care of multiple cats and dogs, and would take care of my neighbors' pets while they were away. While I spend less time at home now, I still always take care of my two very lively dogs when I return! This summer, I am working part-time, virtually, and asynchronously, so I am available all days of the week, around the clock! Pet care fits well into both my daily and weekly routine. I care for pets the way I have always cared for my pets: I give them lots of love, time, and energy, staying attentive to what they want to do. Having lived with pets my whole life, I am equally capable of working with puppies or kittens as I am with older dogs and cats.

“Amazing amazing amazing! I’m so grateful to have found Kaitlyn!!Use her you won’t be disappointed:)”

“Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!”
