“Jan is an exceptional dog sitter!! From our very first meeting, I was very impressed as Jan arrived with a notepad and pen ready to take notes about our dogs and their routines. At that moment, I knew she was the right person to care for our three dogs. Jan has such a kind, loving and gental spirit. She was incredibly loving and caring with all of our dogs, especially our senior dog. She followed all of our instructions, was punctual, communicative, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. We were so happy with the care she provided that we've already booked her again for our trip in August, and we plan to use her for all of our future trips. I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Christopher was great again with our corgi boys! We realized as we were leaving that their food would likely run out while we were away, and Christopher offered to run to the pet store which we so appreciated! Thanks for going above and beyond!”
About: I am CPR first aid certified, I care so much for my animals safety and I carry this forth when being given the opportunity to care for your fur babes as well! I understand following specific instructions is necessary for your pets care. About me, I am currently a cleaner at a state building and a licensed massage professional. I have experience working with animals of all sizes throughout my life and if there's one thing to take away(as I am a dog mom as well..) it's.. that we want to have a special person to trust and care for our loved one, while we're at work or on a vacation or just an evening out. I know exactly how you feel and it's SO important you have time to yourself and to come back fully recharged. My evenings are open for drop-in visits, or walks. Currently not boarding, but I will watch your pup for 3-4 hours if you'd like to get out and enjoy the beautiful ocean breeze. For the love of our pets, your self care is sooo important. I've also worked in doggy daycares and mentored with a dog trainer who also used rover to board dogs. It's a really amazing connection that can grow out of needing a trusted and safe individual to watch the dogs. It would be my honor to be there for you and your pets in the same way. Thank you! I look forward to meeting you! I currently have full availability to tend to your pets need and also enjoy outside time. I only work 3x a wk for one hour at the Oregon state police office. I allow the animals to take their time getting use to the new smells and surroundings, Safety and feeling relaxed is the upmost priority. To be given adequate outside time (not only to potty, but to sniff and walk around on leash or in the gated yard.) I require a leash and collar or harness. Food and treats, plus something of yours they can smell or lay on. I absolutely want both you and your pet to enjoy their time here at the Oregon Coast and if I can help be a part of making your time here special I will do everything I can to accomplish that.
About: I am a retired psychotherapist from the Department of Corrections. I love animals and am very protective of them. I have cared for an English Sheep dog on a regular routine while the owner worked. I cared for 2 long haired hamsters. I have had much calling at the numerous RV parks we have stayed in. I have owners who want their dogs walked several times a day. I have one large dog I work with in a pool at the owners home during the summers. I am retired and have all the time in the world to devote to my clients. I love walking them, giving them one on one attention and have the freedom to nurture them. I have had numerous background checks due to my past occupation in law enforcement. I have a single story condo in a nice quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and 2 mini dachshunds for your fur babies to play with. I’m also bonded and insured should something ever happen. I have worked with special needs animals and experienced in medication administration. I am retired and have all the time in the world to spoil your babies.i can do drop ins or be with them 24 hrs. a day. I have a fenced yard and security cameras around so I always have eyes on your babies. I’m on a private cul de sac so we don’t have traffic.
“Abram cared for our pups and house like they were his own. He clarified care to ensure he did things like our labs were used to and was very respectful. I felt so reassured with him at my house while I was out of town! I highly recommend Abram’s services and will be utilizing his care again in the future 🙌🐾”
About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Toledo
Once again, Jan went above and beyond in caring for our three dogs. She took such wonderful care of them and was especially attentive to our senior dog, including making sure her medication was given properly and on schedule. Jan always pays close attention to detail and follows our instructions thoroughly, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that Jan genuinely cares about our dogs, and they are always happy and well cared for when we return. We look forward to having her care for them again and would highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She truly does an outstanding job! 🐶💕
Maya was an excellent sitter for our home and our pets! This was our first experience using Rover, and Maya made it so seamless and easy. She came over prior to booking to make sure everyone was a good fit, she provided updates with pictures and videos while we were away, we came home to a clean house and happy, well cared for animals. Would absolutely re book with Maya and recommend her to anyone!
Olivia took wonderful care of our pets (a labrador retriever and a tuxedo cat) — as well as our home! She arrived just when she said she would and sent updates with photos during her stay. Olivia was also very responsive to any messages I sent. We feel fortunate to have found someone in the area with so much animal care experience and look forward to having her stay again with Molly and Finn.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Toledo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Toledo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Toledo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
