About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have 2 very friendly cats named toothless and simba who love to play. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens and for senior animals with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. I work at home full time as a freelancer. I’m able to give your dog or cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I work from home so I’m pretty flexible with times and days. Both week and weekend availability. I just need a 1 day notice. Your pets will feel safe with me and get lots of extra attention while you are away. If your pet has any special needs, please let me know.
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, I’ve fostered dogs and have two of my own so I have a pretty good range of experiences with different breeds and personalities. I was on Rover in my early twenties and loved it but had to take a break because of work travel. I’m now settled in Oregon City and would love to take some pups on walks. I enjoy spending time outside, as long as your dog doesn’t mind bad weather, I don’t either. Feel free to book anytime. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. 11:00am-4:00pm is the easiest timeframe to accommodate same day walk requests. I live in Oregon City and can drive to Portland, Lake Oswego, or Canby. It’s important to be able to read dog body language and to have attention to detail. Providing a safe environment is key to success. Many dogs resource guard or have behavioral triggers, it’s helpful to know those in advance.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs for over 5 years now, including those reaching the end of their life span and with specialized health needs. I’m currently a full time student, but have full availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will be open after 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I can easily crate and walk dogs as needed, and play to fulfill any health/social needs! I’m also good with keeping distance if that required.
About: Never in my life have I not been surrounded by a dog, cat, lizard or fish! It’s my dream to own every kind of animal I can fit in my home. All animals deserve attention and affection and they all are more intelligent than people understand! I’m able to notice the smallest details about them and be able to treat them accordingly!! I am currently in the process of looking for jobs but I would love to have a full time job and be able to house/pet sit in the evening/on weekends! I have a beautiful backyard and play area. I have a safe cul-de-sac with many walking trails in the neighborhood! I’m 5 minute walk from a park as well! I’d love to go out at least once daily with them for play time but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it indoors as well.

About: I grew up having a dog in the house so I know what it’s like to care for one, and the responsibilities that come with it. I believe dogs are like humans meaning they need the same love and attention that we do. While your dog is in my care we will go on walks, I’ll play with them, and take care of all its basic needs as well as providing pictures and videos to keep you updated. One of my special skills is that I am very patient with animals. I know it’s hard to trust a stranger with your fur baby but I am very trustworthy and caring and will treat your dog as if it was my own. Thank you very much!

About: I'm happy to help enforce skills they already know such as sit, down, stay, come, kennel, etc. I've trained Southeastern Guide Dogs before and can bring those skills to the table. I can figure out their good spots to scratch so that they'll enjoy being around me and trust me. I have also been around all different sizes and breeds of dogs, so please don't worry about size, breed, personality, or disabilities. I want to help give you the confidence of being a pet parent while still living your own life! I work from home part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby(ies). I typically work mornings Tuesday-Friday, and have most afternoons and weekends available. I love giving cuddles to any animal who needs them. I will give them space if they need time to adjust, and I will patiently help them warm up to me. My hobbies include reading and crochet, so I will happily provide the company and comfort that your pet needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.
Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made all the difference. Finding someone you trust with your pet is extremely important, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Marissa. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Here’s a natural, Rover-style review you could post: Christopher was absolutely fantastic with our dog. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and cares about animals. He was always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond during every visit. He took our dog on great walks around the neighborhood and even picked up the pace and ran with him when he wanted to run, which our dog absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. Christopher was reliable, attentive, and treated our dog like his own. We’ve used several dog walkers over the years, and Christopher is easily the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
