“Kira took care of my two dogs and my daughter’s dog while we were away on vacation. She provided prompt communication and pictures of their activities and kept my home clean and cared for while she was here with the dogs. She was great!”
“Jennifer was great with our two dogs while we were out of town over the holiday. She came over to meet n greet before the stay and also was open to a quick walk before we departed. She took good care of our place and most importantly, doggies seemed very happy and comfortable while we were gone. Our dogs are pretty anxious in general and they seemed comfortable with Jennifer watching them. Thanks for the peace of mind and great care for our doggies! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter while you’re away.”
“Cole was wonderful with our energetic puppy Leo. We felt comfortable having him in our home while we were away. Cole kept us informed with pictures and texts. Leo likes him a lot. 😊”
“Michelle was amazing! Set up a meet and greet before with our pup and sent daily updates. She was super sweet and great to work with! Highly recommend booking her and she will be our go to in the future! ❤️”
“We had such a great experience with Taunya! She gave us updates on our cat Margaret and gave her a lot of attention and love. Margaret can be shy around new people and Taunya had her snuggled on her lap on the first day. Thanks Taunya!”
“This was our first time trying out Rover. Naturally we were a little bit nervous about leaving our dogs during our trip out of the country. We could not have found someone better to watch our boys. Mashawna and Brett are so kind and caring, fun and outgoing, and I couldn't recommend them more. We hope that they will continue to be available if we should leave again, because I wouldn't want anyone else to watch the boys. They took them for walks, to the dog park, and stayed at our house to watch over everything and be with the boys while we were gone for 10 days. It was such a relieving and comfortable experience working with them. We are very happy that we decided to use Rover, and very happy that we found Mashawna and Brett. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, because they deserve far more.”
“Allyson was great with the dog’s...She sat outside with them in the backyard! She took them for walks and even did a little brushing! ..She kept me updated with them and sent pictures…I would definitely like to have her back!”
“Stef was an amazing sitter for our dog and cat. We really appreciated her regular updates while we were away and helped reassure us that our pets were well cared for. She made sure our dog got her daily walks despite the cold and snowy weather, and even got her out for some adventures to local parks. And our cat warmed up to Stef almost instantly so she definitely got plenty of love and attention while we were away. Beyond that Stef went above and beyond accommodating some changes to our travel plans, and we came home to a spotless house and a nice little extra gift for our pets. I would highly recommend Stef to anyone looking for a pet sitter, I just hope she doesn’t get too busy since I hope to be able to book her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Jack was fantastic. We needed some very last minute care and he was up for the job regardless and very prompt with communication. He eft our dog in great spirits and our home very clean. We will definitely rebook Jack the next time we have the chance!”
“Jazmin took great care of my husky Wiley at my home while I was in Mexico for 10 days. She let me know when he wasn’t feeling well due to his medicine and kept me updated afterwards as well to make sure I knew he was doing better. Then when our flights were delayed an extra day, she was able to still help out after scheduled. Thank you so much!”
“Elyana was wonderful to work with. Prompt responses, took the time to understand my pet and my needs ahead of time. Punctual. Very good with my dog, who loved her. Updates thru the evening were reassuring. I would most definately recommend her, and if I'm in the area and need a sitter again she will be my first contact!”
“We booked Layne to spend three days with our two pups while we were staying in Sunriver and skiing at Mt. Bachelor. He was terrific with our dogs, prompt in replying to messages, and flexible as our plans were up in the air due to weather. We enthusiastically give him five stars.”
“Ossie was great! He stayed at our house overnight so that our pup could feel more comfortable. He was super responsive and communicative, sent me pictures of my pup, and I can tell he took great care of her because she acted totally normal when I returned from my trip. She is usually off for a couple of days when we get back from a trip, but not this time! Thanks Ossie!”
About: Hi there!! My name is Melissa. I have cared for animals from the time I could walk. When I became an adult, I worked in veterinary medicine for 15+ years. First I was in reception, and then I had a long veterinary technician career. My genetic and progressive neurological disorder causes my hands to shake, so I’ve been away from veterinary work for 10 years. I’ve done pet sitting in Illinois, and have recently moved to beautiful Sunriver. I’m comfortable with injections, medications, and I’m very familiar with dog and cat care and health problems and concerns. I myself have 2 senior cats and two greyhounds. One cat is in end stage kidney failure and receives daily subq fluids and medications from me. Poop, pee, vomit, anal glands- nothing phases me. I have also done a lot of feral cat work. If you want a been there, done that pet sitter then that’s me. I’d love to meet your furry family members. I have very flexible part time commitments during the week. I make my own schedule, so I can schedule my commitments around your pet’s needs. I care for your pets exactly the way you want me to. I’m extremely cognizant of pet safety and having worked as a veterinary technician has made me very good at reading pet body language. I can tell if your pet is stressed, needing something, or up to shenanigans and adjust accordingly. 😂
