“Our dog took an immediate liking Merri Anne. Merri Anne was quick to respond to any messages I sent. She sent a couple of photos which delighted us. Our dog seemed happy when she came home.”

“Nicole and her family were great with Woods. She has a huge fenced yard for woods to play along with a couple kiddos and pups for woods to play with. Nicole updated me a couple times a day on how Woodrow was doing. I will definitely be using her again!”

“We were very happy to have Renae watch our pup and love on him. We really relaxed on our vacation knowing that Buddy was in good hands. We will definitely have Renae watch our Buddy in the future.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12, it started with my sister's dog and I've slowly expanded to neighbors and friends loving pets! Im good with knowing their body language so I know how to react appropriately. Im used to long walks with dogs. I make sure the dog is happy. Im a part time photographer so I'm almost always home! I do school online so I won't be gone during the day. I have time for 2-3 walks a day, lots of play time. I have a fenced yard to let them out if it's an emergency or if they just want to run. I take dogs on 2-3 walks a day depending on what the dog wants. I let dogs sleep with me in my bed, I love cuddling on the couch as well. I love playing tug of war. If the dog gets messy while at my house I will give them a bath. If brushing is part of their routine I will gladly do that! I love playing with pets! They will have all my attention unless they want to be left alone.
“We had a great experience with Dave and we’ll definitely have our dog Oakley stay with him in the future! Dave showed his level of care and expertise right from the start, with a gradual introduction of Oakley to his own dogs. His whole family was very welcoming and they put us and Oakley at ease. It was a short visit, but we got several updates from Dave including photos, which I always appreciate. He also took Oakley out for her own exercise outing, which was important to us because she has high energy needs. Dave genuinely cares about the wellbeing of animals and it shows. Things went smoothly, but I also trust that if anything unexpected were to come up that he would have Oakley’s best interest in mind, and that he would be communicative with us. Thank you, Dave & Family! See you again soon!”

About: love senior dogs, they need special love, but all animals need love, I am home most of the time and my two small dogs would love to have a new fur friend to play with now and then live alone and only leave my home two mornings a week, seldom otherwise, pet care would give me a little something more to look forward to they have the run of the house, have a doggy door, I sit outside with them, play ball, have toys and plenty of beds and blankets?
“We needed care for a family emergency and didn't have a lot of time to spare, so we added the drop off service. Amanda picked up our dog, dealt with his medication, and he didn't even go on his usual hunger strike. We didn't get to meet her, so I sent a lot of texts and she was very responsive. This was my first time to use Rover and everything went very well.”

“Highly Recommend! Our dog had the best time at Carol and Brian's house this weekend! They sent us lots of photos of our happy smiling dog. I selected Carol and Brian because I was unsure about how our girl would respond to being without us for the firsttime. It was clear from reviews that Carol and Brian know how to deal with a wide range of doggy behaviors-- and seeing them in action was awesome. They gave us some training tips that we can use on our own. They have a warm and welcoming home in which our dog could be her best self. Thank you Carol and Brian!”

“She was the best person to watch are sweet little Rylee. She was so kind and warming. She sent updates twice everyday with pictures. She answered all my questions and text in less then 30 minutes time. I will definitely be using her again in the future, and I recommend her to everyone.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love animals especially dogs. I’ve trained all my personal dogs with basic commands. Let’s talk I’m currently retired and spend all day at home in the house and in my yard. My dogs go outside every hour for potty and play every hour unless I’m gone. I take my girls out first thing in the morning I walk out behind garage near orchard to let them go potty. They eat and then play and go back outside with me only as I don’t have fenced yard and want to be sure they go out back. They are placed in crate when I am not home for their safety and typically sleep there during the night or in bed with me. They go outside every hour to potty and run.
“Andrew and Katie were great with our 2 pups! It was our first time with them and we will be using them again! They provided photos and updates throughout the day and took great care of them.”

About: I love dogs! Im looking to fill some of my free time, so here I am. Have dog sat growing up & grew up in a household full of dogs from all walks of life, grande to very little. I live in a cozy home with a front and back yard in pendleton, with 3 awesome pets of my own, my dog Xena, and my cats Boots & Frankie. Xena is a very loving, social and playful little girl who gets along with everyone. Frankie and Boots like to keep to themselves but are also very loving. I get the feeling of leaving, knowing your pet isn't going to be getting attention or walks that they need. If you need, I am available to ease your mind! Currently working part time so I have the time a few days a week to help out with your fur baby/babies. Here for the walks and pets, can do baths and brushings and in general keep them company I have a fenced yard and a kennels if needed. Many pet beds, a cat tree and plenty of toys. We have a very friendly doggo named Xena, she is a chiweenie and loves to make new friends. If needed she knows how to keep to herself. I also have two friendly cats, although they will take their time getting to know anyone new.
About: I have experience rehabilitating dogs previously used in research/laboratory/testing (think shy, undersocialized dogs with no training). Experience with epilepsy, IVDD, mobility devices, medication administration (including oral, nasal and rectal administration), and am willing to learn more! I have a Subaru Forester with lots of room making it a great dog taxi! My house is single level and almost all carpet and I have ramps I can put out for couches and beds for pets who ought not be jumping or have a hard time with traction. I’d love to learn about your pet and their needs and how I can help make their life better and your life a little less stressful knowing they’re in great hands!

“Merri Anne is a very dependable sitter, and she has taken care of my pets on two occasions. She sends pictures after her visits, and sends me notes if she has any comments or questions about them. I hope to continue to work with Merri Anne moving forward!”

“Vanessa has great communication and cared for my cat while I was out of town. I appreciate the timeliness and overall care she provided for my sweet boy. I would recommend her to care for your animals, too.”

“Lovely lady with a great sense of humor. My kitty was beautifully cared for, and was not stressed or anxious when I returned. Prompt with updates, easy to communicate with, and over all a great experience! Definitely will rebook!”

“Clouseau had a great stay. Nicole was ready to greet us when we arrived and for pick up. Clouseau had lots of room to run and lots of play time. Definitely will rebook when needed.”

“I HIGHLY recommend using Amanda to care for your pup! She’s treats your pup like her own. Mine came home happy n completely exhausted every time he visited her home. Her back yard is safe and secure as well.”

“Carol & Brian took great care of my lab for the day. She had a lot of fun with their dog. I would definitely bring her back, as well as book her for overnight stays. Thanks again!”

About: I have been pet sitting, and dog walking for many years. I use to house sit as well, but with two little ones I decided to stay to my home and go for quick visits to peoples homes. I take pride in caring for each animal I have in my home, and other people homes. They get spoiled rotten just like my own animals. I myself have three dogs of all different sizes, and a few rabbits as well for showing and my daughter for 4H. I have experience with all sorts of animals, Dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, goats, pigs, and other smaller farm animals. I currently do not have a job so I am open to love on and care for your animals needs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even fish! I send regular photo updates, can bathe your pets, walk them, clean your yard, and provide reliable overnight care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether you need short term or long term help, I’m here to make things easier for you and your furry friends! I am currently working full-time from 3–11 PM at Providence and in the Air Force National Guard,but I can still easily accommodate morning and evening drop in visits, walks, or house sitting checks. My schedule actually aligns perfectly with typical pet routines: I handle early AM visits before my shift starts and late PM/evening ones right after I get off work. I’m very flexible on weekends and off days, and I always prioritize reliable, on time care for your pets! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep their environment clean, and make sure they get love, play, and attention. I always respect your space and treat it like my own, ensuring your pet feels secure while you’re away.
About: Greetings! My name is Tifany, and I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’m an experienced sitter, and somehow find myself often accepting interesting duties for unique pets. I’ve given injections, medicines, and even haircuts to animals. I do my very best to love on your fur-babies the way that you want them to be loved, even the hard-to-love ones. I am reliable, trustworthy (because I fear God), and accommodating. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little ones, and you, as happy as can be! If boarding your pet is your preference, you should know that I do have a smaller apartment; two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and bathroom, but small. I’ve found that some people want a little more space for their really big, multiple dogs. That’s okay, you should just be aware. But I’m also near a large college campus and it works well for walking your dogs with a lot of open space and plenty of plush, green grass. I also prefer to meet at a public space before meeting at my home — I’ve found that accepting a job must go both ways for your safety and for mine. If we decide that I should stay at your house while looking after your pets, you should know that I live as if you have cameras in every room, (except the bathroom, of course), because to me, God is with me and sees all anyway. It’s important to me that you know that this is my point of view in caring for your pets and home when you are away — with the most respect possible. There’s enough evil in the world, we don’t need any more, and I refuse to contribute to it. You should also be aware that I have a resident cat. Depending on whether or not your pet is amenable to this or not, I have the luxury of taking my resident cat to my adult daughter’s house for her to care for if your pup would prefer. So, I’m pretty flexible in this regard. In any case, I am a big fan of the Rover app and have had many wonderful experiences through this platform, boarding and housesitting pets, and I advocate for several other pet sitters on the app whom I personally know. I haven’t heard of any bad experiences from these friends yet. I hope you find the right fit for yours and your pets needs, and I’ll hope to make your acquaintance soon. Blessings to you and yours! 🙌🏼🐶🥰 I have one part-time job — I work in ministry 28 hours a week giving Bible studies to clients, mostly in-home, but the hours are flexible and able to be moved around if needed. This means that pet care is an easy integration in my schedule because I’m able to come home often to let pets out throughout the day. I want to be clear, however, as I’ve had this issue in the past, if you expect me to be home 24/7 with your pet, I cannot accommodate that request. I’m home more often then most, yes, but not continuously all day, every day. I have a decent backyard to walk pups in, and love to take dogs on walks in the evening, even in the cold, which I actually prefer over hot. I will say that I cannot handle overnight stays in a client’s home without A/C in warm weather.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. Family and friends depend on me to take care of their animals when they go out of town on vacation or business. I able to adjust my schedule accordingly to your animals needs and care due to my work schedule being flexibility during the weekdays and weekends. I provide all animals their needs and care including providing food, fresh water, and taking dogs for walk. Most important giving animals love and care.
“I really appreciate her always being on time! My dog loves going on walks and being social, especially on the days when we are so busy with kid activities. She's our precious dog and I'm so happy I have Kari!”


About: I’m very familiar with different dogs, good with sensitive tummies and higher-energy leveled dogs, learned from a German shepherd. Good at giving meds and watching food portions and keeping a crazy puppy focused on the task at hand. I know how to be attentive, adaptable and firm, depending on your fur baby’s needs. I am currently a college student, so I can put time for your fur babies between classes, whether it be feeding or walks, and I am super flexible depending on your needs. I can be where you need me to be and give your animal its deserved time. While I do not do pet boarding, as I stay in dorms, I like to communicate with the owner beforehand to know what’s to expect and I also keep the house clean, so you don’t come back to hair or anything all over the carpet. I give walks all in neighborhoods and love to go to parks for dogs and let them run in fenced areas.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life. Soon enough I started getting pet sitting gigs from friends and family. From elderly dogs to 5 week old kittens I love and cherish every moment with them making sure they get all my love and attention. I’m currently waiting to hear back from jobs so I have all the time in the world currently. So if you need a pet sitter I’m available! I have two skittish cats in my home so I sadly cannot take care of pets in my home. When it comes to clients animals I make sure they are comfortable with me and give them the attention they want. I available for long walks and lot of play time outside.
