“My dog has stayed with Diana before when she lived in Eugene , we decided it was worth driving to Corvallis because Diana is very caring and knowledgeable, Rocco 🐶 always comes back better behave when we pick him up from Diana’s, we also like the fact that she only takes 2 dogs at a time and she has plenty of space for the dogs to exercise outside, I highly recommend Diana .”

She understands and is very experienced with dogs (and their humans) and left us feeling very at ease. I would definitely recommend reaching out to her for caring for your dog!!!”


“This was my first time using Rover or boarding my dog, so I was quite nervous. Miriam is great! My dog loved her and it is obvious she cares greatly about dogs. She communicates quickly and is easy to work with. Next time I go out of town, I will book my dog with Miriam!”

“Shelby went above and beyond caring for Shadow 🫶 Daily walks, lots of photo updates, and even a thoughtful card and treat at pickup - it meant so much! I could tell he was happy and well cared for the entire time, and will absolutely be booking her again in the future 😊”

“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”

“Zuri is absolutely fantastic! My mini schnauzer had a blast and made friends with her dog kids. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely loving. She’s the only dog sitter I will use now! If I could give 10 stars I would.”

“We have been using Rover for many years. I must say that Judy is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She is definitely the perfect "dog grandma". From our initial meet and great, Judy has been such a gem. She clearly cares deeply about each and every dog that she takes care of, and wants to make sure there is a fit. She is warm and loving both to her canine guests, and to their human parents. She communicated with us a few times a day, complete with numerous great photos and videos, as well as hilarious comments. My husband and I only have one "child" together, and that is our dog Brody. As doting parents, we so much appreciated all of the pictures and communications, and the special care that Judy demonstrates. Both we, and Brody, can't wait for our next visit!”

“Makana was able to book a last minute request and fit in a meet and greet which was really appreciated. She did a great job of keeping me updated and sending pictures. I could tell that my pup was having a good time!”
“Angel is absolute best. My cat loves her and she even found a new toy he likes despite not being the playful type. He’s a big cat and she did great job keeping cat boxes clean. No smell at all once we got home. Terrific, dependable and professional care can’t be beat.”


“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”


About: I’ve had and taken care of my own cats as well as others for friends, family, and clients for a decade. I have experience administering medications as well as the usual cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc! As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your fur friends!!!!
“Gabriella took wonderful care of our kitties! We knew they were in great hands with her specialized knowledge and attention to their needs. Certainly hope to rebook with her again in future!”


About: I've been a cat lover since childhood and currently care for a rescue cat I adopted last year. This experience has taught me how to help a previously traumatized animal build trust, adjust to a new environment, and develop healthy routines. I understand the patience required when working with rescue cats and how to read their body language and comfort levels. A few years ago, I helped my neighbor locate and safely relocate a mother cat and her litter of newborn kittens who had taken shelter in the woods. This experience gave me insight into feline maternal behavior and the delicate care required for very young kittens and protective mothers. I learned how to approach scared or defensive cats calmly and safely. I'm comfortable with all aspects of cat care including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration, and providing both active play and quiet companionship. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, so I'm committed to maintaining their normal schedule and respecting their individual personalities - whether they're social butterflies or prefer to observe from a distance.

About: I have a lot of personal experience caring for cats and truly understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have 3 cats of my own and 1 cat back home with my parents, so I am very familiar with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, grooming, and giving cats the space or attention they need. I know how to administer medication when needed, and I am comfortable deep cleaning litter boxes and keeping their space fresh and clean. I have a calm, patient energy, which helps me connect with shy, anxious, playful, or independent cats. I love cats and will always care for them with gentleness, respect, and attention to detail.

About: I’ve owned a cat, from kitten to adult. I’ve been around cats my whole life. I know they are all different and can sometimes come with very specific needs - like mashing and flicking up food to fresh kibble only! I can assist in grooming for friendly kitties and can scoop the poop every day.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and current cat owner of two wonderful cats, I understand how important it is to know your pets are receiving excellent care while you're away. I have years of experience caring for my own cats as well as watching and caring for other people's cats. My experience includes feeding special diets, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring health and behavior, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and reserved, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to reduce stress, maintain routines, and provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets.
“Lauren was awesome!! After adopting our newest pack member, my fiancé and I were nervous about leaving the dogs crated all day. Lauren did a pre-check of the yard to ward off squirrels, and let the dogs go potty without any issues! We are so relieved to have a reliable human to check on our doggos while we work all day. She even got our new guy, Memphis, into his crate without too much coaxing!!”

“We had to be away from home from 3:30 am until 7:30 pm and Hannah gratefully came by our house a few times to day to feed and visit with Shasta as well as take her for a walk. I'm so grateful Hannah could do this for Shasta and us. Hannah is wonderful!”

“Felecia was wonderful taking care of our older kitty. Provided plenty of attention, cuddles, and photos. She was also very flexible and understanding when I decided to cut my trip short.”

About: Hi, my name is Stella & I love dogs! I recently adopted a pup named Winnie - she is a big lovable goof with a sweet personality, who loves to play, and equally loves to chill and sleep. She gets along well with other dogs, so long as they don't exhibit aggressive behavior toward her. *****If I am considered for a house sitting job, please take note that Winnie would *maybe* need to join (or perhaps if you have a low-key pet, I could hop back and forth between caring for Winnie at my home and caring for your pet at your home). My husband does help with house sitting jobs though, so it is possible that Winnie wouldn't absolutely need to join but it would be ideal if that was an option. I love all breeds, large and small alike. Each dog has their own personality and I adjust my service based on what your dog needs. Cuddles, play time, belly rubs or space? Whatever works for me! I provide the best care and will give your dog all the love and attention he or she wants. *I have much experience dog sitting/walking - 15 years! I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs (and everywhere in between). I look forward to meeting your best friend(s). (: I take my dog on walks 2-3x per day, or replace one of these walks with a trip to the dog park (if it's nice outside!). I can only dog sit at your home as my dog is an ESA and the only dog allowed on my property. When dropping in or house-sitting, I love to take dogs to the park, on trails, or just a walk around the neighborhood! I adjust my care giving based on what you/your dog prefer - if you'd rather me play fetch or tug-of-war in home rather than going outside, that's perfectly fine too! I will let your dog outside to go to the bathroom as needed but I know every dogs abilities and preferences are different.
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!

“Joe (he much prefers “Joe”) clearly showed our two furkids a great time! New friends to play with, a comfy chair for their snooze breaks, plus plenty of fenced yard to enjoy. Good with sending updates and great with giving them their meds. All of this in a lovely, quiet forest setting. Eight paws up for Joe’s care! We’ll be back. 🐾”


“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.”

“Chelsea was great with my dog, she was very responsive and you can tell how much she loves dogs! My pup came home very tired and happy from running around with her boys all day. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Olivia was responsive, diligent, and caring with Melon! She met up with us in a park earlier in the week to make sure they’d get along, and all went really smoothly. Melon was clearly super comfortable even though it was her first time visiting Olivia’s. I’d readily trust her with our pup again!”

“Nancy seemed to be great with our dog. She was also incredibly accommodating on such short notice. We will definitely use her in the future if we happen to be back in the area!”

“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’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.
“Even in last minute request, she accept us and well take care of my babies🤍 My little one looks had fun with friend(lizzie’s family dogs) while big sis being anxious😅 I believe my girl will enjoy next time!”

About: Hi my name is Whitney and I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I have multiple animals myself including dogs and horses. A Bachelors in Animal Science and Post-Bach in Rangeland Science allows me to care for the most exotic of animals. Whether it is day walks, drop-ins, or overnight stay, I make sure all pets are safe, loved and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with the care of your animals. I pride myself on being reliable , patient, and attentive to each animals unique needs. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I do have my own animals to take care of but times are very flexible and able to be moved around. I have 3 friendly dogs that could keep your dog company or I can crate your animal as needed. I have a multiple acre 5 foot non-climb horse fenced area for animals to run and play. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in area directly off of my house but can create an area as needed for smaller animals with portable fencing.
“Shelby is great! Loki enjoyed spending time with her and her sweet furbaby Winston. Shelby's an excellent communicator and matched Loki's energy level perfectly. She sent him home with a little note and goody bag, which was just so thoughtful! We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much, Shelby!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and people in my community when they travel or need help. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can usually adjust my routine to fit the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during the week and weekends. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and time outside while their owners are away. I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and pay attention to their behavior and body language. My goal is to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and happy while their owner is away.
“Joseph and Renee were awesome. They picked up and dropped off our sweet girl so we could enjoy our trip to the aquarium. Their services are greatly appreciated and worth the price I paid. They were early for pick up and drop off and loved our dog like she the was their own. I even got a couple update pictures that we enjoyed very much! Will definatrly be using them again and definately recommend if you need a couple hours dog free to enjoy newport attractions that are not dog inclusive.”


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 :)
“I was a little nervous to leave my dog Lucy with a sitter because she is elderly and has special needs. Jennifer did a great job and I could tell that Lucy was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Jennifer is a lovely person and I will not hesitate to leave Lucy with her again.”

“Raven absolutely loves Olivia!! I’ve never seen Raven get so comfortable with someone that’s not my immediate family when i’m not around. It’s so comforting knowing she’s in good hands! Not to mention, Olivia is VERY reliable!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have professionally worked as a house/pet sitter for 3 years but I have cared for my own for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many livestock. I have trained many of my puppies so I can handle them and have cared for many senior animals having to give them special diets and medications. My mom is a CVT and I have worked for a vet so I can handle and/or know when to call in bad situations. I will be starting school in September so I will have time between classes to care for pets. I will always make time or stay longer if a pet needs that. I make sure all animals are feeling safe wherever they may be. I make sure energetic animals get played with, shy dogs get there space, and older more lethargic dogs get there rest. I change my care based on the animal and always give them the care and love they need.

About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I also monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and keep owners updated with messages and photos. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are.

“Angelica is a great find! She helped us out over the Christmas holiday and her rates are very reasonable. We feel so lucky we found her!

Hope to have your help again sometime soon.”

About: I bond easily with cats and dogs. I am gentle, patient and give 100% to all the fur babies in my care. I enjoy entertaining and caring for these special critters. While with me, I am observant and provide the kind of interaction the pet wants. This could be anything from a massage to hiking and play at a beach with a variety of toys. I always want your pet to feel warm and welcome. I believe walking is the best medicine, so I’m game to go out no matter the weather. I don’t feed people food to them but am happy to give appropriate treats and lots of praise. I have been taking care dogs for 15 years. Dogs are considered my family bond

“This was my first time using Rover or boarding my dog, so I was quite nervous. Miriam is great! My dog loved her and it is obvious she cares greatly about dogs. She communicates quickly and is easy to work with. Next time I go out of town, I will book my dog with Miriam!”

“Shelby went above and beyond caring for Shadow 🫶 Daily walks, lots of photo updates, and even a thoughtful card and treat at pickup - it meant so much! I could tell he was happy and well cared for the entire time, and will absolutely be booking her again in the future 😊”

“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”

“We have been using Rover for many years. I must say that Judy is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She is definitely the perfect "dog grandma". From our initial meet and great, Judy has been such a gem. She clearly cares deeply about each and every dog that she takes care of, and wants to make sure there is a fit. She is warm and loving both to her canine guests, and to their human parents. She communicated with us a few times a day, complete with numerous great photos and videos, as well as hilarious comments. My husband and I only have one "child" together, and that is our dog Brody. As doting parents, we so much appreciated all of the pictures and communications, and the special care that Judy demonstrates. Both we, and Brody, can't wait for our next visit!”

“They took such great care of our crazy Lab, Samson!They took him for a 5 mile hike! They were very responsive and were able to take him in with short notice.”

“Catrina was so great with our dog! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent! It was clear that my dog was well cared for and happy when I picked him up! I would recommend Catrina to any of my friends with pets! Thank you Catrina!!”

“I highly recommend Nancy. She has the perfect set up for our fur baby. My dog has separation anxiety and he had a wonderful time with her. She is so thoughtful, sending pictures of our dog enjoying his time to us as we were out of town. We will definitely use her service again!”

“Mason was very friendly and responsive! She took good care of our sweet girl Ziggy for a few days. I know Ziggy had alot of fun hanging out and playing with the other dogs, she came home happy and relaxed! 😊”

“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!!!”
