“We will keep asking Andrea to help us with our kitties until the end of time. She has great communication with us and she delivers oral meds to our stubborn cat with no complaints. Our cats are always cared for and loved when Andrea visits. Highly recommend booking with Andrea!”

“We’ve used Brianna countless times. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our two cats. She is thoughtful, communicative and kind. Our cats love her and we always know they are in good hands. She goes above and beyond!”

“Bri was a huge help with my Pitt/lab mix giving him a walk last minute over the weekend when I had travel plans. He is leash reactive and pulls a lot at any animal he sees, but she was very sweet and I will use her again!”


About: I have experience with seizures and strokes in dogs, am able to administer any kind of medication, and have some experience with animals struggling with anxiety. I am a graduate student just looking for some fulfilling part time work. I am available at any point during the weekdays and after October 31st on the weekends I will not be able to host any animals, but I plan on prioritizing the pet’s comfort within their own home and making sure all needs are met
“Michelle did an absolutely phenomenal job! She was extremely responsive & communicative -- the many photos she sent each visit made it very clear that our babies felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed instructions perfectly and left everything tidy for our return. I couldn't be happier that I've found a forever sitter for my babies! I highly recommend Michelle and rate the overall service with Rover as excellent. Thank you! 😻😻😻”

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, a Canisius graduate student with lifelong experience caring for dogs—including my lab mix, Apollo, who’s back home while I’m at school. I’ve dog sat for friends and family many times, and I’m looking to love on your pet like they’re my own. I’m clean, reliable, and happy to help with walks, feeding, and even baths. Whether your pup needs a playmate or a calm companion, I’ve got you covered. I know routine is key. I am primarily online student. I am happy to discuss a schedule based on what your pet is used to. I’m committed to meeting your pet’s unique needs—whether that means checking in a few times a day, heading out for walks, or being a close companion while you’re away. I’m happily active, highly adaptable, and always focused on creating a safe, loving environment for your fur baby. You can count on me to be attentive, respectful, and clean in your space. Sometimes I’m not in Portland, but I keep my service area and calendar up to date.
“Thanks for looking in on our two cats while we were gone, taking packages inside, and even cleaning their food dishes! Really appreciate it and am sure the cats did too!”


About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a Christian, proud dog mom to Bailey, and an animal lover with a heart for serving others. While I'm new to professional pet sitting and dog walking, I believe what sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I know our furry friends are family, and I treat them that way! You can count on regular updates, lots of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. My faith guides me to serve with kindness, honesty, and compassion, and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family member as if they were my own. 🐾💕 I currently work full time from home which allows me to be available for care in my home. I am also free after work because i have a open schedule after work I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 8, when I ran my own pet service. I have experience with senior pets and with puppies, as well as more difficult temperaments. I’m a full time student, part time pet caregiver. I can take care of pets pretty much any time around my classes. I have always been a pet person, and am excited to pamper your pet. I can crate train the pet and I’m able to accommodate a variety of requests. I am unfortunately unable to take care of pets in my own home, due to lease issues.
About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.
About: Calling all 2nd shift workers! If your pet needs a walk or check-in during the afternoon or early evening, I'm your girl. My weekday availability is (temporarily) limited to 2:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Weekend availability is pretty open. Hello, pet people! I took a 5-year hiatus from Rover due to some life changes, but I'm back to offering walks and drop-ins. If your work schedule and busy life are keeping you from giving your pup the exercise and attention they need, I'm here to help. Pets have always been a part of my life. Currently, our family has two birds and one dog: a 26-pound Mini Pinscher mix that keeps us on our toes. Professionally, I'm a freelance pet journalist, and I've covered everything from "enforced puppy naps" to "touch sensitivity" and beyond. While I'm certainly enthusiastic about meeting any dog or cat, I also understand some pets need a gentler approach. Every dog (and cat) is an individual, with their own unique preferences and personality. That's why I'll spend some time getting to know them at our first meet-and-greet. I do freelance work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can pop in for a check-in or "sniffari" walk when it works best for your pooch: mornings, afternoons, or early evenings. If you'd like to establish a weekly schedule, we can work that out, too! Safety on walks is my top priority. I'll make sure harnesses are properly fitted, leashes are secure, and water is available. I also check for hot pavement in warm months, snow salt in cold months, and slippery conditions in rainy, mucky weather. If your dog is reactive on leash, we can talk strategy (avoiding other dogs or triggers). And if your dog has a high prey drive like mine, I'll keep an eye out for rascally squirrels.
About: Besides caring for my childhood dog, Houston, since I was 11 years old, I formally became very involved in pet care during college. I joined an organization called 4 Paws for Ability that raises and trains service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. I began as a sitter for the primary trainers on campus, watching their dog for a couple of hours during the day. Beginning my junior year, I began raising Red through 4 Paws, a 10 week old Golden-lab. I raised Red, while juggling class and work, until he was 1.5 years old and went off to advanced training. He now works as a facility dog at Dayton Children's Hospital. Since graduating, I remain involved with pet sitting for family and friends. I have sat my boss's daughter's cats (interesting, I know) and my aunt's puppy for a week. I love taking pictures of any and all animals, so expect photo updates often! I currently am a first year medical student here in Buffalo. Class is usually over by mid-day during most week days, making me very available for a walk or drop in visit. Furthermore, my weekends are pretty open for the time being, so I'd love to keep your pets company as a house sitter and have a relaxing (or active) weekend with them. I am very observant when it comes to things that are potentially harmful in reach of the pet. I will ensure your pet does not get into anything they shouldn't! Also, I have experience with ensuring dogs are safe in their kennel prior to leaving so your fur baby and home are safe.
“Holly took superb care of our shy cat. Wilson wasn’t very sociable, but Holly was very diligent about making sure he’d been eating his food/treats and staying hydrated while we were away for a week-long trip. Plenty of updates and super-reliable. We’ll definitely book drop-in visits with her in the future!”

“Claudia was very communicative and easy to work with. We have a last minute trip out of town and she was super willing and flexible when we needed a sitter for our cat. Definitely will be using her again!”

“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”
About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

We couldn’t have been happier with Saraphina’s care of Luna! Luna is a timid dog who is usually very slow to warm up to people, so we were especially surprised and happy to see how quickly she became comfortable with Saraphina. She really took the time to understand Luna and knew exactly how to handle her little quirks and anxiety. Her updates were thoughtful and relevant, and we especially enjoyed the fun little anecdotes about their visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Luna was in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely have Saraphina care for Luna again!

Bri is just truly amazing! Our Ruby loves her so much! She gave detailed updates and lots of beautiful photos of our Ruby. Thank you Bri for your time and taking care of our lovely Ruby. While we were away we had the peace of mind that she will be taken care of. We definitely be choose Bri again the next time and over and over again!

Heather was fantastic! My cats loved her and they can be very picky! Heather made me feel secure in the decision to hire a professional pet sitter. Now that one of my cats needs medications multiple times a day, I needed a pro. Heather totally delivered and I plan on booking with her whenever I travel. If you’re nervous about trusting a stranger to watch your pets, you can absolutely rely on and trust Heather.

Deborah is my go-to sitter for my cat. She is kind, attentive, meticulous, punctual, and thorough. My cat is the center of my world, so it's no small thing for me to feel entirely comfortable with the person I have care for him when I have to be away. I am so grateful to have found Deborah and highly recommend her to others!

Jessica was amazing! She was consistent and I was confident my elderly cat was well cared for in my absence. She sent a note and/or pictures daily. Her notes were informative, concise and comforting. I would recommend Jessica without any hesitations for any pet owner who wants to make sure their pet has someone looking out for them.

This was our second time booking with Alisa for our furry babies and they love having her! Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Jean-Luc & Geordi! We loved the pictures & notes of the day! I know they enjoyed having you to play with them! We'd definitely rebook :)

10 out of 10! Karen is the best! Our kitties were so well taken care of and loved! She thought of every detail, and was so considerate to our travel needs. Medication administration, food, playtime, and she sent the most adorable photos! I’ve never felt so secure going out of town- they were in great hands! Thank you Karen!
