“Natasha handled my 100lb female Ridgeback with Care and Class. She is obviously a natural dog person, and connected with my dog in a way that immediately gained my trust, and the trust of my Ridgeback . I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable, positive, and fun experience for their dog. Natasha is a superb Dog Walker, and I will book with her again and again.”

About: I have been looking after pets for family friends for about 6 years now. It’s always a joy to work (and play!) with animals knowing that I’m providing owners peace of mind. I’m thoroughly committed to ensuring that your pets get the time and care that they need. I also am happy to work with households with a lot of pets - I’ve had experience working with a family with 5 pets under one roof! My current job is mostly work-from-home, so I’m pretty flexible when it comes to the bookings I can take on. If there’s anything that could be a scheduling conflict I’ll be sure and let you know. When I work with a client and their pets, I always ensure that I am working within the guidelines that the client has put forth. I take the safety of pets extremely seriously, and promise to take care of them as well as I can.

“Josh was Incredible! My dog, Ziggy, is a bit apprehensive meeting new people and especially welcoming people into our home. Josh listened to my requests for their first meeting and had such good vibes and body language that it was a mere matter of minutes before Ziggy was literally eating out of his hands and Ziggy had no problem with Josh following us upstairs and hanging out inside. I didn't doubt for a second that Josh could handle Ziggy's antics and his strength on the leash. Josh sent daily updates and pictures of Ziggy out on walks and snuggling with him on the couch. I had a friend checking in on my kitty but Josh noticed that she (the cat) had thrown up in the spare room and not only let me know about it, and kept an eye on her mood/behaviors but even took it upon himself to clean up the mess! I was blown away. Ziggy had a great time and I will definitely book Josh for future pet care. Thank you so much, Josh!”

“Sarah was amazing and took excellent care of our special girl in the heat. We appreciate her so much spending some 90+ degree days making sure our pup stayed cool and got some mental stimulation. She was responsive, prompt, and kept us updated. Would highly recommend!”

“Stone was attentive and caring with my 100lb+ dog and spent this first walk bonding with him & building trust. When they returned home my dog was happy and well stimulated (physically and mentally) and ready to chill. I’m absolutely booking again with Stone and I am looking forward to working with them in the future.”

About: 2 years experience as a vet assistant, 8 years Husbandry and Zoo volunteer work: caring for over 1,500+ animals. Dedicated, reliable, patient and safety oriented. Can administer medications depending on the dog. Loves animals and have been in care related fields for over 10 years, I know what to watch out for! I am available to come check on pets and walk and sit at your home- I cannot sit at my apartment. I will do everything I can to create a schedule that works for both you and me!

Your home is your safe space, I will always treat it with the respect it deserves. I am there for your pet and everything they need so that is as far as I shall reach, unless you request for some help cleaning around the house- I can absolutely do that no problem (for an additional charge).

“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”

“Mariam was amazing! Communication was great and very speedy. She was able to squeeze us in last minute for a meet and greet, and a walk the next day. She was so patient with our dogs needs and shared pictures to show how happy our dog was during their walk. We are so pleased and will continue to use Mariam as long as she’ll have us!”

“Coco looks forward to her walks with Hayden each week. She is always so excited to see her! We both feel secure with Hayden taking her for walks and sniff fests!”

About: Hello, I work as a caregiver and an am CPR and 1st aid certificated along with having professional experience in medication administration. Most of my pet experience comes from having my own pets as well as helping to care for family pets while growing up. I grew up helping to care for the geese and dogs and as a teen, I had fancy rats, a cat, and a (family) dog I was responsible for. As an adult, I have my own pets and believe in positive reinforcement training with my cats and dog. I administer my own pets medicine as needed as well as do most of their grooming myself. When I'm not at work caring for others, I enjoy spending time with my pets at home and out in nature and the community. Please check my calendar for my availability. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of a clean, safe space to live and work in. I clean as I go and always do a room check before and after cleaning to ensure I got everything. When out in the community, I always check my surroundings and am mindful about what's on the ground and what's going on.

About: I helped raise our family dog, a golden doodle for his 10 years so far with us. We also just brought in a stray puppy in January, so I am familiar with the puppy stage. He was probably 3 months when we got him and he’s now a year old at least. I am currently free all day everyday during the summer. However when the year starts when I will be free after school on weekdays, because I plan to substitute teach. I will still be available weekends though. I love all animals and I promise to do my best to keep your animals safe. I am organized and will follow the directions I am given to keep your animals safe.

About: Hi there! I'm Cayla—your new favorite pet sitter. While I may be new to Rover, I'm anything but new to animal care. With a background in animal husbandry and hands-on experience across both private settings and reputable institutions, I've worked with an incredible range of animals—from playful pups and cuddly cats to otters, fish, and even sharks. I’m known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to reach, with an open schedule ready to accommodate your needs. Clear communication is important to me, and I take pride in providing safe, enriching, and attentive care to every animal I meet. Whether you're heading out of town or just need an extra set of hands, I’ll treat your pets like my own—ensuring their comfort and your peace of mind. Let’s build a care plan that gives your pets the love they deserve and you the freedom to travel worry-free. Currently I work a flexible schedule delivering for DoorDash. This allows me to easily design my day:week around the needs of my clients and their animals. I am available for check ins, potty breaks, walks, visits, etc through out the day, and prioritize my clients and their pets. I live in a house with dogs who are not friendly to others so I would be unable to take care of your pets in my home but I am more than willing to do what I can at your home!

“Teresa was wonderful!! She was great at communicating (even when it was late) and went out of her way to make sure my pup had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook next time we need help ☺️🤗”

About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!

“Olivia helped us out in a pinch and was understanding with my pup, who can be uncertain around new people. I would be happy to have her walk Gus again.”

About: Hello I’m Bianca! I am entering my senior year at U of O, barista at Dutch, and I want to love/care for your fur kids! I grew up with 3 corgis in my family, so I learned daily dog care early on with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. Since then, I’ve taken care of family dogs and dogs belonging to close family friends, and I even dog sat for a breeder with more than 10 dogs at once, so I’m familiar with managing multiple dogs with different personalities, and busy households. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to be their new bestie 😋 I work part-time at Dutch Bros, so my schedule shifts week to week and I don’t have fixed days off. That said, I’m generally very flexible and can definitely work around my shifts to fit in walks and drop ins. Just send me your dates and I’ll let you know what works! 😊 Since I’ll mostly be taking care of pets at your home, I like to stick as close as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and whatever you’re used to doing. I’m careful about stuff like keeping doors and gates shut, giving meds if needed, and just making sure your pet feels comfortable the whole time. I love sending updates and photos so you’re not stressing while you’re away!
