About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I have extensive knowledge of feline care, behavior, and overall well-being. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of respecting each cat’s unique personality and providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to my experience with cats, I have cared for a variety of animals and am committed to treating every pet with the same love they deserve.
About: What does your cat need? Food? I know I'm little more than opposable thumbs that know where the kibble and treats live. Play? I'm fully prepared to run around with a string and congratulate the kitty on catching me. Meds? Swaddle. No matter what is needed, I will read the cat's behavior to respect their boundaries. I pet them only when invited to do so by the cat. Hissing can be waited out or skirted around. I have no desire to make a cat's day worse.
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’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.
“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: I’ve babysat most of my life and along with that i’ve watched peoples pets along with babysitting while they’ve gone on vacation. I love pets!! I recently just stopped babysitting so I want to use my free time checking in on periods pets if they ever need me to do so! I own three cats with my family, obviously they don’t go on walks but i make sure my indoor cats have some time outside, i usually sit with them in the backyard. I always make sure they have food and water and that their litter box is clean, and that i make sure to play with their toys with them!
About: I’ve grown up with pets of all sizes and am not afraid to try new things. I strive to provide the best care possible for you and your pets. I’m currently a full time student with two part time jobs that I work Monday-Friday, but I can make most days work, just chat with me! I currently have two guinea pigs that I provide constant care, enrichment and love for. I’m very serious about cleanliness and the safety of pets and those around the pets as well.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for them. I understand their different personalities and know how to make them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them attention so they feel comfortable and cared for in their home.
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!
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.

“Im very thankful I found Joe, he has the PERFECT location with a fenced yard for lots of playtime. My Duke was cared for and made new friends to play with. Thank you Joe, and thank you Rover.”
“Tracy did an amazing job with Nova! My boyfriend and I were in town for an OSU game and needed a sitter for the day. It was our first time leaving our 5 month old puppy with anyone and mom was a little nervous, but Tracy sent us photo updates that eased my mind! When we picked Nova up she was calm in demeanor and exhausted from a full day of playing. Would use Tracy again no questions asked!!!”
“Catrina is terrific! Our dogs had a very good time with her, and she sent us updates and photos, and it was great to see them out and about. We highly recommend Catrina.”
“Nancy is great! Indy went to Doggy Daycare twice while I was vacationing in the area and wanted to do some things that weren’t dog friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving him in Nancy’s care and he had fun and got to run and play and snuggle. Nancy provided photos and updates while he was there which made me that much more comfortable leaving him.”
“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 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.
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.

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!”
“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.”
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 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 :)

About: Hi! I’m Jaedyn, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets. Growing up, my family fostered over 10 dogs over the years, which gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care needs from an early age. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals throughout my life. One of my biggest passions was raising, breeding, and showing rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of consistent care, attention to health, and understanding animal behavior. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible routine, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. I aim to provide pets with consistency and attention so they can stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or behavioral quirks, I believe clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Having cared for animals my entire life—from foster dogs to rabbits, cats, and small pets—I’m comfortable adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and care needs. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.

“Seems like Charley had a great time on his walk! Jaelyn was punctual and responsive, giving my sweet pupperz a nice walk with lots of sniffs and pees -- his favorite.”
About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience, I've cherished every moment spent giving furry friends the cuddles, walks, playtime, and attention they deserve. This dedication stems from my own family's cat, and 2 dogs enriching my understanding and love for animals of all kinds. I am currently enrolled full time at Oregon state university and work in Albany. My schedule is often all over the place but my Fridays and weekends are usually not busy at all. I will always prioritize your pets getting the best care I can make work with my schedule and will always communicate before booking what it looks like. Communication is very important to me and to build trust with you as I am taking care of your pet. I will make sure to follow you and your pups routines making them as comfortable as possible while you are away.
About: Animal care has been a part of my whole life. I've always had a pet, whether they were cats or dogs. No matter the size, age, or breed of the pet, I understand to respect their boundaries and be mindful of their safety. Spoiling and playing with pets is the easiest task on the planet. I'm a part-time college instructor. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can happily take a break from grading to pop in for a pet. I first and foremost will defer to the owner's instructions and requests. For pop in care, I will check basic needs first: food/water/litter box/potty breaks. Then comes socializing or any other request from the owner. Weather permitting, I like to take dogs out for fetch, chase, tug-a-war, or casual walks. What we do is sometimes determined by the breed of dog. For cats, I understand that play is up to them. I'm happy to engage in any way they prefer. My own cat is a fiend for a string.
About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and people in my community when they travel or need help.

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.

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
About: My personal dog and I have experience on high elevation mountains that are demanding physically and mentally. We will be able to provide your dog with an enriching experience in nature while staying safe. I am a traveling school speech therapist assistant currently on summer break looking for side jobs to keep me afloat and save money for graduate school. I have my own vehicle and my own large breed dog that will always accompany on my pack walks. We will hit hiking trails starting at 4:30am to be done with the walks by 8am during the Arizona summer.
About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general. I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!
About: I can care for your geriatric or special needs dog, administer medications and engage in low impact exercise. I also have extensive experience with puppies, obedience training and behavioral training. If you don’t need specialized services you can still call me to walk and play with your healthy or energetic pup. I am currently a gig worker and have a flexible schedule which allows me to be available to you and your pets on short notice. I will care for your pet(s) in your home or take them outside of the home for walks/play. I will treat your home with respect and care, locking doors and following any instructions/preferences you have.
“My two dogs, Basil and Zeus had a great time with Leanna! Leanna came to my house two days in a row on short notice to walk my boys when I couldn't get home in time. Communication was easy, and Leanna arrived exactly when she said she would. I'm so excited that everything went so well, I've scheduled a walks for them with Leanna every week! Thank You Leanna!”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for and feeding many animals. I bring hands-on experience, patience, and love, ensuring every pet feels happy and safe. I’m a college student with mostly online classes, so I have a flexible schedule! I love spending lots of time playing, cuddling, and caring for pets every day. I live in an apartment with three friends who also love animals! Together, we create a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for.

“Lizzie was friendly, mindful of my cats' experience, and easy to communicate with. I would completely recommend her; I'll contact her first if I need my cats watched again. I appreciated her updates and photos throughout the day. My cats can be a bit scared when they are in a new place, but Lizzie gave them space to find their spots to chill while they wondered why the heck they were in a new place without me. She cared for them exactly as I would hope when my little ladies are with someone they are unfamiliar with.”
“Allison and her family were wonderful! We got morning and evening updates each day.🐾 It was evident our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We have a heeler who can have a hard time adjusting to new environments but Allison knew exactly how to handle her. Allison was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to use her again in the near future! 🐶”
