Personalized care for your dog or cat - Glen Alps
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Glen Alps
“Finn's stay with Julie was great. I got multiple daily updates which was awesome since Finn is a puppy and I was worried he might be really stressed. They clearly have a lot of experience with dogs and all their quirks :). They are pretty flexible and offer a pick-up and drop-off option which came in handy this trip. I will definitely use them again. Their HOA only allows 2 dogs, so your dog will be the only one staying there with them and their dog. They are a very nice couple with a great set-up for watching a dog.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with my Gus. He went to her still in a cone from being neutered and she did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable and happy, and I appreciated her daily updates.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“Our boys LOVE visiting Huw and Jolynne and we adore them as well! They’re excited to arrive, sad to leave, and well taken care of every single time. We cannot thank you both enough for your loving, thoughtful care. ❤️”
“Thanks for all the feedback and activity updated while we were traveling. Lola loves you and your family. Always leave us feeling safe and secure. I know how much you care about your furry little guests. We appreciate you so much. ML”
“We are so thankful for Crystal and the care she gives our dog! We have booked with her multiple times. It has been such a relief to find a dog boarding option that we can use consistently AND that we feel good about for our pup. Crystal is fantastic.”
“Lindsey took excellent care of Nellie. Our pup is an only child but got along with the two resident dogs and Lindsey was extra thoughtful of her comfort and gave lots of treats as needed. Lots of photos and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“Jadae was absolutely amazing with my baby Dozr! She watched him for a day and a half and treated him like part of her family. Her two little girls were so sweet with him, and it was clear he felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time. Jadae kept me updated, made sure all of his needs were met, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Dozr was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I highly recommend Jadae to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Zec took great care of our two dogs! He’s very communicative, initiated a meet and greet before the stay to make sure our dogs got along, and sent consistent updates. His dog is a gentle giant and was so patient with our one dog (who has crazy cattle dog energy and doesn’t get along with every dog). They came home tired, happy, and healthy. He even shared some of his homemade salmon dog treats with my pups. Would recommend if you need a reliable sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
“Sharon and Michael are such great sitters!! We unexpectedly needed a sitter last minute and thankfully they were available! They've sat for us before and Griff really enjoyed his stay then, too! We got plenty of updates with photos and Griff looked like he had such a fun time with them and the other dogs they watched. I highly recommend Sharon and Michael and won't hesitate to use them again in the future!”
“Nev had great communication and took great care of our sweet Willow! She was very flexible with our delayed flights & always reached out if she had any questions. We really appreciated her! :)”
“Sely is an amazing dog sitter, she is very communicative, and sends lots of pictures and videos! Kane had so much fun at her house, he came home very happy and very much tired from lots of playing!”
“Ashlee provided top tier care for my dog. She was flexible in changing plans and very fast at communicating. I appreciated the photo updates. Will definitely request her again!”
“Ralph did such an amazing job with my little chihuahua Dodge! He cuddled up with him everyday and Dodge bonded with Ralph so well!!! He seemed so relaxed and not stressed with the change in routine! I really appreciated the daily picture updates with how he’s doing. I would absolutely use Ralph again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Glen Alps
About: I have been taking care of pets for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, consistent and build relationships with the pets to keep them comfortable while you are away. My full-time job has summers off, so I have more open availability. Barring the 4 or 5-hour gaps in my day with my part-time job, I can give your pet the care they need/require. I have two medium-sized dogs and a geriatric cat (he is 26!). Caring for them brings me joy and purpose. I promise to carry over that same kindness and compassion that I have with my pets to your pets. I also understand what is necessary to take care of older pets, so if they need a little extra help, I am up for it.
“Brandon was fantastic! This was the first time I had ever left my cat without a family member or friend watching her, but Brandon made me feel very comfortable! His updates and pictures were great, and I knew my fur baby was in perfect hands. Would definitely recommend Brandon!”
“Lauren took wonderful care of our cat, chickens, and plants while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us real peace of mind knowing everything at home was being looked after so well. We came back to a happy cat, well cared for chickens, thriving plants, and a tidy home. We wouldn't hesitate to book Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Eric did an exceptional job! It was clear that he went above and beyond giving our cat some quality love and playtime, was communicative, and was generous with cute photos.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Glen Alps
“Sharon was so accommodating—we came early and had to stay late, yet she made it happen. Rosie had a great time, with pics to prove it. She came home smiling and exhausted. Thanks, Sharon!”
“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”
About: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees last year :( We miss him. We would like to watch another dog because our shihtzu is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 1 dog so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time since we also have a cat but may make an exception if from the same family . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
About: I love working with Pets, i find having a furry friend is so loving and i’m willing to help give them fun playtime and attention! I’m available anytime during the weekday and weekends! i’ll always make time to help people out when they need someone to give their furry friend some extra attention and time I have a loving dog who i love very much! i’ve always loved animals and want to have a fun, playful time with many of them! I think it’s very important to provide attention to animals so I’m very passionate about helping others out when needed!
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and needs. I have two dogs of my own, including a senior dog and another who has a lifelong injury requiring extra attention and specialized care. Caring for them has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the little things—whether that means adjusting activities, following specific routines, giving extra time and reassurance, or simply knowing when a dog needs to slow down and rest. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I enjoy having pets around while I work and can easily incorporate their needs into my day while still maintaining a reliable routine. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a midday walk, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby, I’m able to provide consistent, loving care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and at home. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I’m careful to maintain a safe environment both inside and outside the home. My goal is simple: when you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little kid. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and they are truly family to me. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my late dog, Roo, who battled cancer for about a year before we lost her in September. During that time, I gained experience providing medication, extra comfort, patience, and specialized care. I have a 1 year old puppy named Tilly and a 14 year old dog named Leo who keep me active and remind me every day how important exercise, playtime, routine, and affection are. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own! Whether your pup loves to play, go on walks, or curl up on the couch for cuddles, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care while staying with me. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work from 10am-4pm Monday to Thursday. Friday-Sunday I am off! Before and after work, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and plenty of space for dogs to relax indoors. My own dogs are friendly, playful, and very accustomed to being around other dogs. I carefully introduce pets with slow introduction so your dog won’t get overwhelmed. I follow each owner’s instructions, and maintain routines as closely as possible. I provide lots of attention, updates, and LOTS of photos throughout their stay!
“Ariane did a great job watching Raizen. You can tell she really cares. I didn't worry about my pup once. Nanuk was super friendly and adorable. Raizen definitely made a friend.”
“I immediately knew when I visited Trey that her home and family wereperfect for my dog King. She sent photos during his stay and was very responsive to texts. Will book with her in the future!”
About: Growing up on a farm instilled a love of animals in me from a young age. I am a true animal lover and prefer the company of animals to many humans ; ) I have experience with most pets from dogs and cats to birds, livestock and horses. I have rescued countless strays, trained many puppies and kittens and the running joke in the family is “if there’s a stray in a five mile radius they end up at Carly’s door”. I work from home so I’m never far whether your pet loves to sit nearby and remain close to me throughout the day or just needs a quiet and restful space, I have them covered. I provide dog beds and cat beds and do my utmost to make your furry friend feel settled in their home away from home. I will soon have a fenced in yard for my cat-friendly dog and four bedrooms for cats if they need a peaceful retreat. I provide fresh, filtered water daily along with meals and of course routine walks/potty breaks/litter box cleaning. If toys are allowed we have plenty to go around!
“Zechariah was absolutely amazing with my sweet boy. My dog is usually kind of timid but he warmed right up and had an amazing time. Zechariah was extremely flexible, communicative, and kind when I’d do check ins and spent a lot of time making sure my bazey boy felt happy and loved.”
“Erica was a great puppy sitter! Easy to communicate with and her home was super clean. Erica gave me some updates which was nice! Would definitely use her again!”
“Rogue loved his stays at Crystals house for doggy day care. She was very responsive, had great communication, provided us with updates and photos throughout the day. He loved playing with the other dogs. The second day we dropped him off he was running up to Crystal like he had a new best friend. Highly recommend and will be using her as a sitter in the future.”

About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. I'm also a professional photographer, so expect lot's of photos of your pup! When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally live out my hotel for dogs dreams. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the experience I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
“Chelsea was amazing! Our dog is a big ball of energy and she handled him like a champ! We got updates with pictures and videos of Lefty playing in the huge yard with their dog, Tok and even the cat! He came home happy as can be! Thank you again!”

About: I offer in-home boarding with a fully fenced yard and a flexible schedule for consistent walks and attention. I foster dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and helping them settle in. I’m active and outside often, but I also keep things calm and structured depending on what your dog needs. Clear communication, regular updates, and a safe, steady environment. I offer dog walking Monday through Friday with a flexible daytime schedule that allows for consistent, unrushed walks. I provide in-home boarding seven days a week, including weekends. Your dog will have access to a fully fenced yard, regular exercise, and a structured but relaxed home environment. If you have specific timing needs during the week, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to coordinate when possible. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside. Indoors, I keep a clean, organized environment and remove any items that could be chewed or ingested. Because I foster, I’m used to gradual introductions, monitoring behavior, and helping dogs settle in safely. I maintain consistent routines, separate dogs when needed, and never leave unfamiliar dogs unattended together. I also follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, and crate use. Clear communication and proactive supervision are important to me.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.

“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone, and Brandon proved to be extremely trustworthy. Trust is a major factor for me, and he made the entire experience much more comfortable. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. He will definitely be my go-to sitter moving forward.”
About: As a kid I spent many after school hours hanging out in the veterinarian clinic that my parents worked at. That is where my love of animals began. My family rescued a 3-legged collie named Dawson, the sweetest boy that I grew up with. Along with dogs, my family had cats, birds, fish, and hamsters. I was always the kid in the neighborhood who people could rely on to watch their pets while on vacation. I was the one hanging out in the veterinarian office soaking up as much information as I could. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own but knew I had to wait until the time was right. In the mean time, I have fostered several dogs through the Pixie Project here in Portland, as well as provided countless hours of babysitting to a variety of dogs belonging to friends and family. I have taken care of small to large breeds, young and old, all with different personalities and needs. This past year I finished college and finally was able to adopt the dog of my dreams. I have a male Samoyed named Nanuk that we have had since he was a little 8 week old pup. Nanuk just turned two years old and is big and energetic, but he is a gentle giant. Raising a puppy is anything but easy, but has taught me so much. My experience with my own dog Nanuk, combined with my years of experience fostering and babysitting dogs, and my lifetime of experience with my family at the veterinarian clinic and our home pets, makes me confident in my abilities to provide trustworthy and dependable care to your beloved dog. I am lucky to work 100% remote from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have my full commitment and attention at all times. Nanuk is a larger breed dog and still young, so he requires lots of walking and playtime. I will work with you to figure out your dogs best schedule and routine, and see how it can fit into ours so that your dog is happy and comfortable. I have a very large fenced back yard for the dogs to play and run! The environment in the house is calm and quiet as it is just myself and my boyfriend who works during the day. There is air conditioning and I always have an air purifier running as well. The house is always 100% safe and puppy-proof. I am always looking for any potential safety hazards and staying clean and tidy. Toys, dog beds, and clean water is always accessible. Lastly, our house is fun! I dedicate as much time as possible to making sure the dogs are getting plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
About: More than just a walk—I give every dog the care, attention, and love they deserve. I treat every pet like my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making every walk or sitting experience safe, fun, and stress-free—for both pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking—they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins while staying attentive to each pet’s individual routine. I’m organized and dependable, so your pet gets the care and attention they need without feeling rushed. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s something I look forward to. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own or a house, I provide care in my client’s home. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I respect each client’s home and make sure it stays clean, secure, and comfortable while they’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
About: I've been a dedicated pet caregiver for 5 years, including 2 years caring for a senior dog in North Carolina - managing medication schedules and gentle exercise routines - plus ongoing care for my own cat at home. I also have experience training puppies on basic commands like sit, stay, and come, using positive reinforcement. I'm committed to attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. Im flexible for now You can calls or text to fit a schedule also i can do overnight if you need . Please let me know :) As a pet caregiver, I offer both in-home pet care services for my clients' pets as well as care for my own pets at home. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure that they have plenty of food and fresh water, clean litter boxes (if applicable), and comfortable bedding. I also provide daily playtime and exercise, as well as regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. When providing care in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any other special needs their pets may have. I make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection to make the pets feel comfortable and happy in their own environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was old enough to take care of myself. As a child, we had cats in our family. As I grew older, I became the resident animal sitter for the neighborhood. I would walk, feed, and play with them for extra money. As an adult, I regularly watch my friends dogs and cats while they are out of town, staying in their homes, as to not disturb the routines of the beloved furry friends. I love their company. I’m currently work for myself, and can accommodate to the needs of the animals I watch. I own a business doing bodywork, and am flexible day to day. I’m available to watch your home and your pets. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I am flexible to accommodate.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for years! i love going over and meeting new dogs and playing and. taking care of them! I am in college currently but have plenty of free time to watch and play with animals! Most my classes are online so the longest I would have to be away would be 2 hours! I have a fully fenced yard and allow dogs in my home! I can’t wait to have your dogs over and take care of them!
“Selena has been walking my dogs a couple times a week for the past month. She is very communicative and is there for my last minute request I’m super thankful for! Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Aidan Brion and I’m 22 years old. I am a gig worker who is just getting started on Rover. I have grown up with pets my entire life and have a lot of experience caring for them. If you need a helping hand to get your energetic puppy out of the house and go for a walk. Then I hope I can be the one you choose! I understand having a pet can be a very demanding responsibility. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I would say the same goes for your pet. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. Please message me at any point if you’re interested in my services. Have a great day!
“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”
“Thank you for being so patient with our Grace! She is cautious and nervous around most people. She and her buddy, Karma, were barking like a pack of ... hyenas but you were nice and calm which made all the difference!”
About: I love animals! I am able to walk far distances and care for specific needs. I have a cat of my own and can drive to your house. I am currently working as a barista downtown and own a car. I am able to drive to your location no matter the day and feed/ care for your animal. I am not able to house pets at my own house but feel absolutely fine going to your location. I am able to spend overnights there as well.
About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
About: I’m a dog parent of a 3 yo husky mix who keeps me busy. She’s more social than I am, & most days, I’m chasing her around trying to keep up. I like to bike, ski, and play in the mountains, and it’s pretty easy to add another pet into the mix of our high energy lifestyle. Dog sitting was my first job, and I’ve had great experiences with Rover as a pet parent & a sitter I work full time, but I take an hour lunch break every day for dog walks. A typical day starts with a 30 min walk in the morning, 45 mins at lunch, and another 30-60 mins in the evenings. Love to take the dogs hiking, or out to one of the beaches in town, or up on a hiking trail. I have a friendly dog at home, & I require a meet & greet before overnight stays to make sure the personalities work together. Please bring a crate with you if your pet is used to having their own. Please also bring or identify whatever toys, treats, comfort items they can’t live without.

“Finn's stay with Julie was great. I got multiple daily updates which was awesome since Finn is a puppy and I was worried he might be really stressed. They clearly have a lot of experience with dogs and all their quirks :). They are pretty flexible and offer a pick-up and drop-off option which came in handy this trip. I will definitely use them again. Their HOA only allows 2 dogs, so your dog will be the only one staying there with them and their dog. They are a very nice couple with a great set-up for watching a dog.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“We are so thankful for Crystal and the care she gives our dog! We have booked with her multiple times. It has been such a relief to find a dog boarding option that we can use consistently AND that we feel good about for our pup. Crystal is fantastic.”
“Jadae was absolutely amazing with my baby Dozr! She watched him for a day and a half and treated him like part of her family. Her two little girls were so sweet with him, and it was clear he felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time. Jadae kept me updated, made sure all of his needs were met, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Dozr was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I highly recommend Jadae to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Zec took great care of our two dogs! He’s very communicative, initiated a meet and greet before the stay to make sure our dogs got along, and sent consistent updates. His dog is a gentle giant and was so patient with our one dog (who has crazy cattle dog energy and doesn’t get along with every dog). They came home tired, happy, and healthy. He even shared some of his homemade salmon dog treats with my pups. Would recommend if you need a reliable sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
“Sharon and Michael are such great sitters!! We unexpectedly needed a sitter last minute and thankfully they were available! They've sat for us before and Griff really enjoyed his stay then, too! We got plenty of updates with photos and Griff looked like he had such a fun time with them and the other dogs they watched. I highly recommend Sharon and Michael and won't hesitate to use them again in the future!”
“Nev had great communication and took great care of our sweet Willow! She was very flexible with our delayed flights & always reached out if she had any questions. We really appreciated her! :)”
“Ashlee provided top tier care for my dog. She was flexible in changing plans and very fast at communicating. I appreciated the photo updates. Will definitely request her again!”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Ashley and her family was wonderful! This was the first time Sasha was away from home but Ashley was so welcoming to my girl. I was nervous but she made me feel at ease. She took her on walks and she got to run a play in her backyard. I know Sasha had a wonderful time! Ashley sent me pics of my girl and that made me feel soo good! I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“She was great and I accommodated my last minute emergency with my pup and she was able to care for her. I'm glad she was happy and I really appreciate it. Thank you!”
“Fast and great communication with Olga. I had a very horrible experience a few months ago with my dog's first pet sitter. Very relieved that my dog was taken care of and loved getting photos while I was away.”
“Mandy and her family were so kind and loving to my dog and cat. They both stayed in her home and were treated like family. It gave me peace of mind while away to know they were with someone so caring, and getting lots of snuggles and walks from her kids, too. I will be booking her again!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and needs. I have two dogs of my own, including a senior dog and another who has a lifelong injury requiring extra attention and specialized care. Caring for them has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the little things—whether that means adjusting activities, following specific routines, giving extra time and reassurance, or simply knowing when a dog needs to slow down and rest. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I enjoy having pets around while I work and can easily incorporate their needs into my day while still maintaining a reliable routine. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a midday walk, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby, I’m able to provide consistent, loving care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and at home. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I’m careful to maintain a safe environment both inside and outside the home. My goal is simple: when you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
