“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”


“Wonderful as always. I have a skiddish boy and Erin is so great with him. He got off leash today and the relationship they have built made it to where he came back to her. That speaks volumes of her.”

“Devin helped me out with the last-minute booking to walk my dog from my hotel while I was working at an event. It was good to have peace of mind that he wasn’t stuck alone all day. She was responsive and flexible about the schedule.”

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

“Kayla has been great with my pups, they seem to really enjoy their walks with her. She is responsive, timely, and follows instructions wonderfully. I look forward to booking with her for regular walks during my work week!”


“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

“My GSD is a challenge to walk and requires long walk rain or shine. Chelsea took on her challenge by giving her lots of love and attention. She showed up rain, cold and shine. She is reliable and communication was frequent. Thank you Chelsea for being Maggie's BFF while I was away.”

“Dana has been flexible, understanding, and consistent. She put in the time (and the treats) to win over my shy dog in a meet-and-greet, and she is great at knowing how to avoid reactive dogs’ triggers! I’m happy to know my pups are in good hands!”


About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood - I grew up alongside both cats (Kiki, Jenny) and dogs (Bailey and Fenton), which taught me early on how different (and wonderfully quirky) each species can be. Over the years I've pet sat for many families, handling everything from daily walks and feeding routines to those cats who pretend they don't need you...until they do. I have a special soft spot for small pets and genuinely love the one-on-one time that daily walks and drop-in visits offer. Your pet won't just be checked on, they'll be fussed over! I work from home most days, which means your pet is never just waiting around for someone to show up - I'm already here, or nearby and flexible. My schedule allows me to offer drop-ins and walks at consistent times, which pets (especially dogs) really thrive on. I plan visits and walks the way most people plan meetings: they're on the calendar and they happen. I'm a creature of habit, which works out great for animals who depend on routine. Whether it's a midday drop-in for your cat or an afternoon walk for your dog, I show up on time, every time. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want shown in mine. I follow your pet's routine - their feeding schedule, their favorite spots, the words they respond to, the toys they love. I'm not there to do things my way; I'm there to make your pet feel like you never left. I always send updates with photos so you can see for yourself how they're doing. I have a genuine soft spot for small animals. I understand that small dogs and cats can be more sensitive to strangers and new energy, so I take my time letting them warm up to me rather than rushing the interaction. Calm, patient, and consistent - that's my approach.
“Cassie, is amazing! Our dog gets soooo excited to see her when she comes. She has been so flexible and adaptive to our dogs needs. I know she is in good hands when we are away!!!”

About: As your pet sitter, I am not just watching your animals; I am getting to know them. From their routines to their quirks, I care for every dog and cat like they’re my own, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have been housesitting and caring for other people's pets for over a decade. As a pet parent myself, I also know that clear communication and photo updates are a must so that you can feel confident and relaxed while you are away that your babies are being well taken care of. Currently, my schedule is open so that I have all the time to dedicate to your furry family members! For overnight care I do request a minimum of 2 nights. I will take care of walks, feedings, litter boxes for cats [if requested] and easily administered medications. If staying overnight I will treat your house like my own. I can bring in mail, take out trash, and water plants if needed.

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.

About: Currently a pet parent of 1 dog and 2 cats. Experience outside of rover taking care of peoples furry friends. Good with being an advocate and dealing with dogs who are more shy and nervous as I have a shy/nervous dog myself. I will be intentional about the care and support your pet needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and will be able to fit to most schedules in terms of the family and pet needs. Though we won’t host any pets at our home, I will make sure I have a full understanding of your expectations and needs when taking care of your favorite family member.
About: I love animals and animals love me, so I’m here to meet as many of them as possible and build lasting friendships. 🥰 A true PNW girl at heart, and proud Oregonian - I’m always excited to get out and enjoy the fresh air, rain or shine! 🌲🌊 I live near the Rose Quarter, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, and a whole lotta love to give all the babies. When I’m not busy loving on Rover clients or my own cool cat, Anubis, I run around on a farm with two 120lb Catahoula Leopard/American Bulldogs! 🐕🚜👩🌾 Please reach out for any and all requests - my goal is to be of service and to help you provide the best care for your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you soon! 💕 P.S.: I have a talent for taking truly great photos. 🤩 I have a mostly open schedule and I’m currently looking to meet & spend time with all the fur babies! I would love to be part of your family’s steady routine in helping to care for your loved ones on a regular basis, and I’m open to consistent recurring visits, day & night sitting, occasional hangouts, or even urgent/short notice drop-in appointments. I will always tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs; their safety, well-being and happiness are my top priority, and as a pet parent myself, I am devoted to providing the highest quality care for your family. I sincerely value the trust placed in me with your babies!
“Deanna is a fantastic communicator, always so cheerful and positive. I really appreciate this when work days are tough, she adds some happy to my day when she send pics of Lola enjoying her walks. :)”

“Kelley is amazing! She was so kind to me, easy-going, punctual, super honest and seemed to enjoy her time with Hazel, my rambunctious 8-month old lab! I am excited to work with Kelley again for dog walks and also looking forward to having Hazel board with Kelley some day too!”
About: Hi! I’m forest, they/them. I love animals and caring for them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, mice, fish, rats, and iguanas! I welcome hearing your animal care needs ・◡・ I offer pet care in the San Juan Islands, the Oregon/Washington coast, and Portland, Oregon. I set up a meet & greet before taking care of new animals. Please send requests between the hours of 8am - 8pm. I love taking pups on adventures in nature. I’m happy to follow instructions for pet care in your home carefully. It is important to me that your animals feel comfortable and relaxed and have fun! I enjoy being responsive to their needs and routines.
Sunderland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Janelle is the absolute best dog walker and sitter around. I trust her completely to care for my sweet dog. Janelle has cared for our dog since she was a puppy and has always been reliable, responsible and fun with Ruby! From walking to playing fetch with her many toys, Janelle is the perfect choice for us!

Lindsay helped us with our two dogs while we were on a trip out of the country. We looked forward to the daily update cards with photos and a description every day - it made being away from them so much more bearable! Our dogs clearly love her, and we are so grateful. She was communicative, gave us thoughtful updates and our dogs were clearly in wonderful hands. Would absolutely love to book Lindsay again!

Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!
