“Great sitter!! Very experienced and communicative. Our pups are super energetic and can be a handful, and they were super well cared for while we were away! I’ll definitely be rebooking ☺️”

“Cameron was fantastic! She shared photos of our pets and took Otis out on a hike. Pets seemed very happy when we got home and the house is in perfect condition. We can tell she is thoughtful and attentive and we will definitely ask her to come back and help.”

“She was really great with our puppy. He did not want her to leave because he was having so much fun. She really takes the job professionally and even had a plan for our dog and gave him some really good one on one training. We would highly recommend Kelsie.”

“This was our second time having Tina watch our two dogs in our home for over a week. Tina is an excellent sitter! Our dogs have a pretty strict schedule and multiple medications and she handles it all with ease. Our dogs love spending time with her. Our house is spotless when we return. She even handled our fridge going out while she was gone. We would highly recommend Tina!”

“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”

About: Hi! I’m Madeline, I’m 28 & a lifelong animal lover with a calm, caring nature and a knack for making pets feel safe and loved. With years of experience in customer-focused roles, I understand how important trust and communication are, especially when it comes to your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care is woven into my daily life — I care for my own cat and rabbit every single day, so things like feeding schedules, litter boxes, playtime, and grooming are second nature to me. I build my schedule around making sure my animals feel safe, seen, and loved — whether they’re mine or yours. Fitting your pet into my routine feels like second nature, not a task. My pets are indoor only. My cat does not get along with other cats or dogs so I keep her safe and separate. The way I would keep your pets safe is listening and communicating you and your pets needs. I’ve opted to not board pets because it would not work in my homes dynamic.
About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve been trusted with taking care of my family and friends’ pets since I was twelve. One of my cats is older than me and has been with me my entire life, so I know very well how to take care of elderly and disabled animals, especially cats. I’ve also taken care of multiple very energetic dogs and I know how to handle their behavior. I’m very open to long play sessions or walks, but if a calm presence is what your pet needs, I am very good at providing that as well. I’m very adaptable. Whatever your pet needs, I am more than willing to do my best to give it. I’m a college student who is busy every afternoon but most mornings and almost every evening and night I am fully available for your pet. I’m completely free on the weekends as well. Understanding the signals pets use to communicate is one of the most important things to me. I value your pet’s safety and to me it is very important to know what they’re trying to say in times of crisis. I also am conscious of things in homes that may be harmful to pets, such as certain herbs, scents, or foods, and I go out of my way to ensure that pets do not make contact with anything that could be dangerous to them. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I want them to be met and for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me and the environment.
“Hannah was amazing and we highly recommend her! Our Monty has tons of separation anxiety when his parents leave but she made him feel right at home. Monty was relaxed and happy when we got back home which tells us he was very comfortable with her. We look forward to working with Hannah again!! We know Monty does too!”

“Cayla was wonderful! She sent us lots of pictures and was very patient with our anxious pup. She also made sure our house was locked tight when she left. Would definitely recommend.”


“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”


“I'm a pet sitter myself so I can tell when someone cares about pets and takes good care of them. Amy was amazing with our babies. She always stayed in communication, sent many pictures, and made sure our babies had all their medications and food on time. She's a very sweet person and I will definitely be choosing her again in the future.”

About: I grew up having dogs as pets my whole life. I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I understand their needs and how to keep them safe and happy. I’ve raised my own dogs from when they were puppies until they were about 14 years old as a senior. I’m a full-time student at the University of Oregon, but I don’t have another job, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I’m available most days after a few classes and fully available on weekends for house sitting or frequent check-ins on your pups! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me at all times. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions! I always keep a clean, calm environment and give lots of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with messages or photos while you’re away!
About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.
“Stone took great care of my anxious pup. He looked so happy on his walks, and at the house and Stone sent plenty of pics. I’ll definitely utilize Stone’s services again in the future! ❤️❤️”

“Elene was amazing! She was communicative with any questions she had for us and sent regular updates with pictures of our pets. She took great care of our pets which gave us that peace of mind knowing our pets would be well taken care of. I would absolutely request Elene's services again.”

“Joshua is always reliable and this time was especially flexible and responsive when I inadvertently left out some important house instructions. I'm always comfortable leaving my dogger with Joshua.”

Thurston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madeline has ways been great with our fur babies. We had used her for several day-sits when our pup was "little". Our first overnight was worry-free because Madeline does such a good job taking care of our dog and cat. She left the house clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Madeline.

Amanda was wonderful with out dog Finn. Amanda made sure he got his walks and treats and sent lots of photos and updates. It was our first time using Rover and so I was a bit uneasy at first but after meeting with Amanda about our upcoming vacation I felt like it was a great decision. Thanks to Amanda for a great experience for us and our pup Finn.
