About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Joe is great with our doggos! Lets them sleep on his bed, takes them for walks, and he’s careful with giving them their medications on schedule. They had a very nice time with Joe, and we will book with him again.”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”

“Can I give more than 5 stars??? First time taking our dog, Bobby Lee, to a sitter and we couldn’t possibly be any happier…and Bobby Lee too! Elizabeth kept us updated daily on how he was doing, sent pictures, and communicated and a professional and prompt manner. Elizabeth was great with Bobby Lee, even teaching him some new tricks (really it was manners). She took great care of him as if he belonged to her. We are very grateful we found Elizabeth and will continue to use her to care for Bobby Lee whenever we are out of town.”
“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”

“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”
“Whitney stopped by and provided check in visits as we had arranged. She was able to give the snacks my kitty enjoys and build rapport. Sent pictures to reassure me that my kitty was not stressed. Appreciated knowing someone dependable was checking on my little family member!”
“Morgan took wonderful care of my two cats and home while I was on vacation. I felt confident that she would follow my detailed instructions, which was a huge relief. I tend to be a worrywart about my kitties and knowing that someone reliable was taking care of them eased my anxiety. There were even a few house-type things I asked if she could help with like watering plants and getting the mail, and she was graciously willing. Morgan always responded to messages quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Morgan and would rebook with her if needed. Thank you for taking great care of my fur babies!”
“Alyssa was a terrific cat sitter for both of my cats one of which required administering medication. They seemed well taken care of and happy when I came home. She also brought in packages left for us while we were away. She was prompt each day,had excellent and swift communication, and was reliable, and dependable!”
“Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible and helped us in a pinch with a very last minute drop-in request. We are so grateful for her. She did everything we asked and even helped us out by bringing a package inside. We feel lucky to have found her and plan to request her for all of our future drop-in or house-sitting needs!”
“This was our first vacation with Rachel as our kitty wrangler. Took her just one visit before our shyest kitty realized she was a friend 😊 We will definitely rebook with Rachel.”
“Shelby is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and is a great communicator. She will take great care of your pet and makes you feel more comfortable about leaving your pet.”
“Angela was an amazing cat sitter! She took excellent care of all our cats and made sure every one of their needs was met. She truly went above and beyond, doing thoughtful extra things without even being asked. She even watered our fuchsia, which was so sweet. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything at home was so well cared for. I highly recommend Angela’s cat-sitting services and would gladly hire her again!”
“Ali is the perfect pet sitter. I felt comfortable with Ali from the get-go and knew my cat was going to be well cared for. Very responsible and super professional! Feel very fortunate to have found such a great cat sitter!!”
About: I have owned cats my whole life and I understand what it is like to keep a cat safe and healthy. I currently only have one cat named Dobby but I used to have 4 more. I will care for your cat like my own.
“Tanya is amazing! We felt super comfortable around her and Charlie loved her! We appreciated the pictures during the visit! 10/10 recommend Tanya and we will definitely be booking her again when we go out of town next!”
About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
About: I've taken care of cats since I myself was a kid, and I've always been the go-to person for other people when it comes to watching their cats while they're gone. My personal cat, was very grumpy and not a sociable cat when we got her. And over time with training, reinforcement and constant understanding of her body language. She now thrives and is very happy. So she'll bowl and loves being pet. I absolutely love animals and will go the extra mile for any animal.

“Shelby did a great job with my sweet old dog. He felt so comfortable, and I could tell that he was excited to see her by the way he was prancing at the front door when we arrived. There was even a special gift in his travel bag when we got home and a thank you card! I will definitely use her services again, he loves her.”
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
“I really appreciated how Tracy was able to provide daycare when I was out of town over the holidays when I needed to alter my plans last minute. My daughter needed some help caring for my puppy and Tracy was able to help us out. I was able to set everything up while I was stuck in the airport, which was great! I also got lots of picture updates and my daughter said that my puppy was excited to go to Tracy’s house everyday.”

“We needed doggy day care for our two dogs and Joe was wonderful with communication from the start to the end. Send updates and videos. Happy we found someone local to watch our pups. Will be using him for boarding our dogs for few days soon! Thanks!”
About: I’ve been in love with cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. In my home we always had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I cared for four family friends’ dogs in California the last couple of years. I love taking dogs on walks, and play time and cuddles with cats too. I have a mini poodle and a cat at the moment, they are best friends :) I am an RN but I am not working at the moment, so I spend a lot of time at home, so message me and we can see if what you need works out❤️ I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your dog. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys! I am a nurse and I live with my husband who is a doctor (he also adores dogs). I am readily available to provide walks and companionship to your beloved pet on my days off. I would only dog sit your dog if I was not going to work, since when I do work in the hospital I’m gone all day and would not want to leave them for that long. So, on my days off and I dog sit and give them all the attention! I live in a 800 sq ft apartment overlooking a large park which offers an ideal space for playtime. I also live near a beautiful pond great for walking and exploring. I prefer dogs that will not sleep on my bed, but I’m ok with them going on the sofa.
About: I am an animal lover, I only have 2 pets in my home right now, but I would have a cat rescue if I was able. Experience with all ages of pets. My schedule is flexible as I work from home. I prefer to walk in the morning or evening, to avoid heat stress, but I am able to work around your schedule I have an 8yr old St. Benard who is a gental giant and a 8ish year old cat that's my baby. A fenced large yard.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleaning, medication routines, and lots of cuddles.

About: Hi! I’m an educator who has always had a deep love and respect for nature and all living creatures. As a professional in education, patience, responsibility, structured care, and high attentiveness are built into everything I do. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have had a dog since I was 3 years old—she was my best friend and was by my side until she passed away at the age of 19. When I lived in Turkey, I had two dogs, and I brought both of my sweet girls with me when I moved to the USA. Sadly, they have both crossed the rainbow bridge and are now our little angels. ❤️ Today, our family includes two little dogs and one sweet cat. I have been caring for pets since elementary school and have always shared a special connection with them. Back in Turkey, I actively helped many people adopt dogs, including helping the school where I worked adopt a campus pet. I truly believe animals are family, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved is second nature to me. Why Choose Us for Your Pet? Constant Care & Attention: My husband works from home, and I work from home most of the time as well. This means there is almost always someone around to give your pets endless love, companionship, and attention. Professional Responsibility & Safety: With my educational background, strict adherence to feeding/walk routines, safety protocols, and individualized care come naturally to me. A Loving Home Away from Home: A friend encouraged us to try Rover, and we jumped at the opportunity simply because my husband and I both love animals so much. We treat every guest like our own family in a calm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Peace of Mind: You will receive prompt responses, clear communication, and frequent photo/video updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and thriving. We can’t wait to welcome your sweet pet into our home! 🐶🐱✨ My husband works from home, and I work outside the home for a maximum of three half-days a week. The rest of the time, I’m home. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. For example, I recently cared for a large-breed puppy who wasn’t used to playing with small dogs. To make sure everyone was comfortable and safe, I divided my home into separate areas so he could have his own space while my dogs had theirs. I also moved my workspace next to his area so I could spend more time with him throughout the day. Since he had a lot of puppy energy, I took him on walks more frequently than I normally would to help him get his energy out and keep him happy and relaxed. My goal is always to understand each pet individually and create a routine where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.
“I can't recommend Jessica enough! My pup came home tired - which is AMAZING! Jessica was quick to respond (which was very helpful because I was in a time crunch!) and took him for two walks.”
“Plain and simple, Madison was nothing less than a pure blessing caring for my puppy Sailor. She didn’t simply care for her, she made her part of her family. Finding Madison (Maddy) to care for my pup was an answered prayer. I cannot sing her praise enough! 5++++++++ stars!!”
About: I am a huge animal person! Since 13 growing up, I was the go-to girl for dog sitting in the neighborhood. This gives me a wide array of experience. I have lived with many dogs too. My family adopted a senior dog so I learned at a young age what older dogs need and enjoy. I’ve lived with younger dogs from mutts to hyper golden retriever puppies who need a steady active routine. I’m capable of providing it because my love of dogs is clear. I enjoy being outside and love being active with dogs however it all depends on the dog’s needs. No matter what, when you’re in need of a super sitter, i’ll be the rock for you and your pup(s)! I offer any services that you require, though I recently lost my car to a not-at-fault accident so assistance with bringing your babies to me is much appreciated. Currently open schedule - waiting to begin a PT job. I can do brisk morning walks and long afternoon/evening walks daily if needed to get that energy spent 😊 and I'm available everyday especially on holidays. I can have dogs over! My dog loves friends. I’m happy to walk your dog(s) around various parks in the area. How I care for your dog/your home is completely up to you. I have open services and can care in any way you need.

About: I have been around dogs and cats since before I could walk! I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was a kid and have spent most of my life helping out my friends and family with their pets. I am a huge animal lover and also very active! I often pet sit for my friends and love to take their dogs on walks and runs. I live in Albany with my cat, Bill, and work from home a lot so I have lots of availability and would love some more dog time in my life! I work from home four days a week (wednesday’s i am in office) so i have a lot of availability to spend time with your dog! I am also an active runner and walker, so I can get your pup outside and get out energy if that’s what they need, or we can cuddle up inside and play or hang out :) I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of grassy areas and walking paths around. I do have a cat, he gets along well with dogs, but your pup would need to be okay with cats! I have a very gentle approach to dogs and respecting their boundaries is so important to me. Depending on what you prefer for your dog, they are free to roam my apartment and be on furniture, unless you prefer them not to be! I have some experience training so if you’re in the middle of building habits, i will adhere to those practices :)
“On time. She is patient and able to redirect my reactive small dogs with treats and/or a squeaky toy. She goes above and beyond by helping me to continue to train my dogs not to react while on their walks.”
“Elizabeth has been really great! She has made it easy to book services, her notes are detailed and she always shares lots of pictures. Murphy really seems to enjoy his time with her and that means a lot to us.”
“Brandy is so great! We booked her again after a house sit for dog walking. Communicative and no problems at all! We won’t hesitate to keep requesting Brandy for our pup!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the house and we’ve had dogs in all ranges from chihuahuas to siberian huskies! I trained all three of our huskies to sit, shake, lay down, pray, roll over, etc. They are also all leash trained. My cats are fed twice daily so I definitely understand the importance of keeping a routine with pets! We are fortunate to have an automatic litter box, but I truly don’t mind cleaning litter boxes/picking up after pets. My cats have been trained to stay off furniture in my home and are leash trained to go on walks with me. They are fed twice a day and has access to their space which includes their food and water, litter box, cat tree, and toys at all times.
About: I have had a cat for over 20 years and a dog for the last 7 years. I am sensitive and caring towards animals and would like to help you out by looking after your fur babies to give you piece of mind. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats. My previous cat required a pill daily. I have also given medications to the dogs and cats I have watched per the owners' instructions. I work part-time from home right now, so I have plenty of time available for pet care including dog walking and checking on pets. I walk my own dogs every day. I am very detail oriented and will follow any and all instructions you have for caring for your pet. I know how stressful it can be to be away from pets and want to make it easy for others.
“Mady our new dog walker has been a wonderful addition to our support team for our pup Jude. She is a great communicator and we know Jude looks forward to seeing her everyday. Would high may recommend Mady to anyone who has doggies and needs extra support. Husband and I work all day and it’s comforting to know Mady is taking care of him while we are away. We can tell a huge difference when we come home 👍🏻”
About: I've been in a 2-3 dog (and later on one grumpy cat) household my entire life. My shared company of animals is a major part of my identity and is represented now by my pursuit of a degree in animal sciences. At times, I feel I understand them better than people; they've always been an anchor for me in difficult times. I hope my passion for creatures big and small can shine during my time caring for your furry friends. Since moving away from home to attend Oregon State University, I leave behind two goofball dogs, Grizzly Bear and Tig, and one sassy old cat, Hazel, my little lady. As a full-time student at OSU, I have classes Monday thru Friday, and though I am unopposed to weekday commitments, weekends are when I am most free. My availability: Wednesday - 1pm and beyond free Thursday - 7pm-9pm Friday - 3pm and beyond free Saturday - All day available Sunday - All day available I am open to helping out on weekdays if I am not too swamped, and would do better with short term commitments, but weekends are wide open! I am experienced with all types of pups, from chill to nervous. Throughout the walk/stay/visit, I will clearly communicate how I conduct your animal's routine and how your pets are doing during our time together. I will never do something I feel uncomfortable with and this includes keeping the safety of myself and your pet as the main priority.
About: I have raised three pets of my own, one dog and two cats as well as being raised with family pets. I have plenty of experience taking care of my family and friend’s pets. I am comfortable with cats, dogs, or really any animal. I can meet your pet where they’re at with energy levels, personalities and their quirks. I am able to administer medication if needed. I am in school and work part time but I am free to check-in or walk your pet around those obligations. I have availability almost every afternoon/evening and can do earlier in the morning depending on the day. I can check in on your pet as much as they need, make sure they are fed and watered. If you have cats I can clean litter boxes for them. If you have dogs I can take them out for potty breaks and walks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I have a 2.5 year old aussiedoodle who is my baby. I’ve house sat and pet sat for many families spanning from new puppies to large boxers. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, I’m a foster parent for Safehaven Humane Society where I’ve cared for animals from 2 week old puppies and new kittens to new Mom dogs saved from hoarding situations. I am good with more timid dogs and also dogs with lots of energy. I look forward to meeting you! I am working part time and taking online classes so I would love to get out and go for walks or have dogs come hang out with my and my puppy (Juno)! We have a nice size backyard that is all fenced in and another friendly dog to keep your dog company! Our dog was used in evaluations for new dogs at her daycare, and gets along with everyone!
About: Please reach out to me with questions, my schedule right now is a bit wonky, so if there’s a day you see I’m not available and are curious about, please message me! I've been around lots of animals my whole life. My parents had anything from hamsters to bearded dragons. All I need is clear and precise instructions on how to take care of your pets, and we're good to go! I have most of my week available to help take care of your pets! I will work around my schedule to spend some quality time with furry and non furry friends! I can do anything from taking your dog on a walk, to just letting them out every few hours. Or even doing overnights if need be. I'm good at cleaning up along the way, so if your pet makes a mess, rest assured you'll maybe never even notice it was there! I love giving constant attention to animals if they are willing to have it, but am also okay with just occupying the space they breathe in. You just gotta tell me the vibe and I'm all in!
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.
About: I have had pets my whole life, different kinds, and ages! I am willing to help with any medication or any special request nothing is too big or too small for me to help with for your peace of mind! I work full time as a QC chemist, but my job is very flexible anyday! I am around almost all the time in the area unless I am going somewhere myself! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs myself. One is 6 years old who is a high energy husky and a 3 year old tuff chiweenie. 😅I have a wife and kids that will extra love on your fur babies as well if you want your fur baby to meet them!
About: Hi, my name is Josh. I have always had dogs growing up and love all their different personalities. I believe a dog needs time outside to be happy and healthy and I am excited for the opportunity to give that to some deserving puppers! I have engaged with dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love going on walks and playing. I also love hiking and would be more than happy to take a dog to a trail if the owner permits. I also am available to house sit or do house calls if needed. I am confident that your dog will be in great hands with me. Thanks!

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Joe is great with our doggos! Lets them sleep on his bed, takes them for walks, and he’s careful with giving them their medications on schedule. They had a very nice time with Joe, and we will book with him again.”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
“Can I give more than 5 stars??? First time taking our dog, Bobby Lee, to a sitter and we couldn’t possibly be any happier…and Bobby Lee too! Elizabeth kept us updated daily on how he was doing, sent pictures, and communicated and a professional and prompt manner. Elizabeth was great with Bobby Lee, even teaching him some new tricks (really it was manners). She took great care of him as if he belonged to her. We are very grateful we found Elizabeth and will continue to use her to care for Bobby Lee whenever we are out of town.”
“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Arielle was amazing!!! This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone other than family! She made us feel so at ease & remained in contact with us throughout his stay! She sent us pictures so we could see how he was doing & it looked like he was on vacation!!! She accepted him last minute & he came home so content & exhausted from his playtime! We have definitely found Opi’s home away from home!!! If you’re looking for an awesome sitter for your fur baby, look no further!!!”
