“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“I forgot to leave Tawna a review! My pup Lincoln comes back a maniac after getting to run around on the farm for a week! He's def a farm dog! Love love love having a place to take my dog not just to have someone feed and make sure he stays alive, but also to vacation! He loves that farm!”
“Diana took wonderful care of Reggie and was thoughtful enough to send regular photos and video to let me know how things were going. Reggie had a good time and I had peace of mind know he was well cared for!”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”
“I would highly recommend booking with Chloe, she made my Lab feel right at home and took great care of him. He got daily snuggles and lots of outside time and had the best time! He came back really happy and I was happy to get daily pictures of him and updates while I was out of town.”
“Jennifer was excellent at watching my german sheperd dog for a few days while I was out of state! She sent pictures and gave consistent updates on how my dog was doing. My dog, Ellie, had a great time and was right at home!”
“Gemma and her family took great care of Scooter during our out-of-state weekend. He was relaxed and tired when we returned home….. which was a good sign! Gemma even sent us a cute picture of him with her ADORABLE pup too!! Thanks Gemma!”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“We threw a small superbowl party at our home. Floki does not do well with guests stopping by, so we searched for near by dog sitter to watch him for the evening. We met with Jordan a couple weeks prior to dropping Floki off. He did well with him and his son. Jordan sent pictures throughout his, putting our mind to ease! The picture of our dog with his head on his son's lap was PERFECT! Like I said, he doesn't do well with strangers stopping by so this made both of us very happy receiving this photo! Floki is a very energetic dog and he was tired when he came home. Jordan took Floki for 2 long walks which was not expected but appreciated! He went above and beyond previous sitters!!! So grateful to have found him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and another thing that we must mention, he got along with the other dogs he cared for; out of the norm for Floki! We're definitely going to use him for future events.”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.
“Gayle was AMAZING with my fur babies. She was very good at communicating and giving updates and photos during their stay. My babies opened up so much while spending time with her and Sitka. She was very flexible and was able to keep them for an extra night when my plans changed last minute. We are very grateful to her for taking such good care of our pups and will gladly book with her again ?”
“Meagan took wonderful care of our sweet Ellie Mae. Ellie quickly warmed up to her, much quicker than we anticipated. Meagan sent pics of Ellie and kept us apprised as to how she was doing. We will definitely use Meagan in the future. She even left us a thoughtful surprise.”
“Tara was so great with our dogs and really helped us enjoy our trip to Dayton without having to worry about the dogs. They had a great puppy party and came back tired and fully content with their stay! Definitely will be reaching out again for our next trips to Dayton!”
“Pakuna was wonderful! She sent updates, pictures, and videos. My dog was grinning ear to ear in every picture and he played great together with Pakuna’s dog, Xena. We will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend her care. She took my dog for regular walks, and even for a drive and to a local park. He probably thought he was on a vacation!! I am so grateful to have found Pakuna through Rover as my first time experience with the app. Everything has been great!!”
“I left for ten days and this was only the second time I had left Stella with another family. It was such a great experience for her and me. Michael and I let the dogs meet ahead time and I felt very comfortable with both he and his dog. His entire family helped out and loved on Stella and it was a really positive experience. I would definitely use them again.”

“Kristina took excellent care of our Miss Elsa kitty. Elsa was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Kristina left the house as she found it. We highly recommend Kristina!”
“McKenna was great to work with. We had a meet and greet and it went great. Our cats walked up to her and were very comfortable. One of our cats, Sonya, is very shy and with a couple of visits McKenna had her doing flips in the air with the feather on a string toy and sitting next to her. In case you are wondering how I know I have a cat cam in the front room. The next time we need a cat setter McKenna will be on the top of our list.”
“Maleny has come to take care of our cats many times. I cannot stress enough how much easier it is to be gone knowing that the person coming into your home will take care of everything. I am so grateful!”
“Alivia was great with our two golden retrievers! She did drop ins for us during the day while we were working. She brought our dogs toys and treats. Phoebe and Winston give this rover sitter a A++! We will definitely use Alivia in the future!”
About: I really love getting to know each cat’s personality. Some cats are playful and social, some are shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace. I have my own cat, Mango, so I’m very used to daily cat care like feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and paying attention to little changes in behavior. I’m patient, gentle, and truly enjoy making cats feel safe and comfortable while their people are away.
“Alisha took care of my golden retriever while I was away for a long weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and gave me so much ease leaving my baby!! Very responsible and great with my dog! Highly recommend”
About: If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your dog while you’re away, I’d love to help! I grew up surrounded by animals on a Japanese maple farm with over 20 horses and lots of dogs, both indoor and working dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and training backgrounds. I am a student and only have one in-person class this term, giving me lots of availability for quality time with your pup! I live in a cute, quiet neighborhood near a park and walking trail, and I usually go for walks in the mornings and a couple miles before dinner when my partner comes home from work (weather permitting). I’d happily bring your dog along for those little adventures so they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all breeds! After walks and a lot of playing, I make sure to keep track of any supplements and food schedules needed (usually by setting reminders and alarms on my phone) I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. If you have any questions or want to chat about your dog’s specific needs, feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you both!
“If I could give 10 stars I would. I’m new to the area and having an anxious dog going through some major changes has been challenging. The first night Mickenzie came over to let him out, Beanie wouldn’t let her touch him and growled the whole time. He wouldn’t even eat a treat that she left in front of him on the couch! Mickenzie was gentle, patient, and communicative through the entire process. The following day she agreed to come out on her own time to meet beanie with me and let him get more acquainted in a safe space with mom. She was kind and understanding even as he barked and growled at her throughout the visit. That night she came back to try again. She took her time, was able to connect, Beanie let her pet him, pick him up, and put a harness on. She was able to let him out to the bathroom and get him back in without any issue other than the time and patience it took from her. Mickenzie is excellent. I HIGHLY recommend her especially for those who are anxious leaving their babies in the care of someone they don’t know. I’m so grateful and will continue to use her as often as possible. Thank you, Mickenzie!”

“Our German Shepherd is absolutely thrilled when we tell him we are going to Matt's! It's one of his favorites communications! That right there says a lot about Matt. From the human perspective, he goes above and beyond. He has helped us in emergency situations, and on holiday weekends, with a crazy wedding schedule. We are grateful for Matt and his remarkable gift of working with dogs!”
“Zuri is an exceptional sitter, I’m so thankful to found her, she’s always been sweet and kind to reply and take care of my big boy. I’m sure my puppy is always happy to be at her house. She takes some adorable pictures and videos and send it to me. An amazing sitter that I love!!”
“Penny had a great day with Christina! During the day, Christina sent me photos of Penny and updates on how she was settling in and getting on with her family furry friends. Christina is super friendly and a great communicator. I felt totally at ease leaving Penny with her.”
“Megan did a great job sitting with Duke in our house and kept in touch during her stay with texts and photos. We are planning a trip later and will use Megan again for house sitting.”
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”

About: Ever since I remember I’ve always cared of all types of dogs! I’ve worked in a boarding kennel which I have worked with many senior dogs as well as small few month old puppies! I have experienced in the care of disabled dogs that have medical handi-capabilities! I also have experience with long house stays even over holidays!

“My husband and I met Alisha in October for a meet and greet with Milo, our mixed yellow lab and golden retriever. The meeting was for an upcoming trip during the Christmas holidays. We instantly liked her, she was on time when she came, she was professional, she bonded right away with Milo. Soon after I booked a three day walk in November just to reconnect again with her. It was for a 30 minute walk and again she was on time and I love the fact that I get a text and a pic of the walk. Tomorrow will be the start of a 13 day house sitting and we feel confident about the whole thing knowing that Milo will not be neglected. We’re glad we came across her at Rover. I highly recommend her.”

About: I had been pet sitting regularly for clients in Bailey, CO for the past five years until we moved down to Mesquite, NV. They had an English and Bull Mastiff plus horses, goats and chickens. I take care of dogs for my friends who have recommended me to other clients over the course of the last fifteen years. I am a total dog lover and love to stop and pet each and every one I come across. I take daily walks, weather permitting, with the dogs I am taking care of, including the English Mastiff! Because I do not have a full time job, I am available weekdays and weekends and am very flexible regarding times. I love and treat each dog as my own. I moved from Mesquite to Woodburn, OR 2 years ago and am starting to get back into dog sitting again. So please reach out if you need to board your dog at my house. I have a home with a nice backyard and am close to Centennial Park which has two dog parks, one for smaller dogs and the other for the bigger ones. Pet sitting and dog walking are my only job. I can devote all my time each day to taking care of your pets. I will take your pups for a walk or a jog each day I have them and give them all the attention they want. I have a fenced in backyard that we can play in. I do let pets on my furniture if it’s ok with the client. I will totally love on your pup until they feel comfortable and safe in my home.

I have dog walked, and done drop in visits for one family in the last year which included 2 cats and one hedgehog! I would love to have a dog of my own but don’t have the time due to my job. I can help walk on weekends and week nights after 5pm! I make sure to spend time with and take great care with the animals. I love dogs and all other animals so much and know how important they are to people, so I extend that same love.
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.
About: i’ve had animals of all kinds of entire life and i couldn’t love it more. Family members and neighbors have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and snuggle with there fur babies. i’m currently still in high school so i will have plenty of time to care for your animals. I finish school at 12:40 so anytime after 1 is great for anything and weekends i am always free. Currently in my home i have a kitten who is an only inside cat, but i grew up with a pitbull and two very large labs so if needed to be crated i can do that.
About: I have been a pet caregiver since I was a very small girl. I have helped Mama's deliver babies when needed. I have even done mouth to mouth and chest compressions on new horns a few times when needed. I have a huge heart for pets and animals of all kinds. My family of pets are trained either to alert me to go potty, use a box or crate themselves. I am able to give medication as needed and bathe if needed. My children are PET TRAINED. I have very strict rules in place about all animals big or small. I really hope you consider us in your upcoming needs. Happy New Year! I am always home except for appointments which we can discuss and decide if on those days I can meet your pets needs or if another sitter is better. I do not smoke in my home. I have 4 children, all pet trained and pet friendly. I do not have a large or fenced yard BUT I have an absolutely amazing park that abuts to my house so there is plenty of opportunity to run and play. I am at home all day for the entire week so I am able to keep a good schedule for my fury clients. I don’t have a problem with med or potty schedules. I listen to their needs. I watch for cues to hunger or need to potty. I feed and walk my pets or clients pets. When they need bathed I handle that as well. Medications in my house are no problem at all as over the years I’ve learned a lot about injectable and oral medications. I’m not the master for certain but I try my best to be your pets next best friend while I am with them.
About: Ive had dogs my entire life. Ive taken care of dogs of all ages, size, and temperaments. I currently have an elderly blind chihuahua, and a corgi mix who is reactive. I recently left my job of 4 years due to lack of proper management. Im taking classes through Chemeketa but my schedule is very flexible. It’s important that all animals feel safe and respected around me. I’m not easily startled by reactive animals, all it takes is a little time to grow comfort.

“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“I forgot to leave Tawna a review! My pup Lincoln comes back a maniac after getting to run around on the farm for a week! He's def a farm dog! Love love love having a place to take my dog not just to have someone feed and make sure he stays alive, but also to vacation! He loves that farm!”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“I would highly recommend booking with Chloe, she made my Lab feel right at home and took great care of him. He got daily snuggles and lots of outside time and had the best time! He came back really happy and I was happy to get daily pictures of him and updates while I was out of town.”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“We threw a small superbowl party at our home. Floki does not do well with guests stopping by, so we searched for near by dog sitter to watch him for the evening. We met with Jordan a couple weeks prior to dropping Floki off. He did well with him and his son. Jordan sent pictures throughout his, putting our mind to ease! The picture of our dog with his head on his son's lap was PERFECT! Like I said, he doesn't do well with strangers stopping by so this made both of us very happy receiving this photo! Floki is a very energetic dog and he was tired when he came home. Jordan took Floki for 2 long walks which was not expected but appreciated! He went above and beyond previous sitters!!! So grateful to have found him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and another thing that we must mention, he got along with the other dogs he cared for; out of the norm for Floki! We're definitely going to use him for future events.”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.
“Gayle was AMAZING with my fur babies. She was very good at communicating and giving updates and photos during their stay. My babies opened up so much while spending time with her and Sitka. She was very flexible and was able to keep them for an extra night when my plans changed last minute. We are very grateful to her for taking such good care of our pups and will gladly book with her again ?”
“Meagan took wonderful care of our sweet Ellie Mae. Ellie quickly warmed up to her, much quicker than we anticipated. Meagan sent pics of Ellie and kept us apprised as to how she was doing. We will definitely use Meagan in the future. She even left us a thoughtful surprise.”
“Tara was so great with our dogs and really helped us enjoy our trip to Dayton without having to worry about the dogs. They had a great puppy party and came back tired and fully content with their stay! Definitely will be reaching out again for our next trips to Dayton!”
“I left for ten days and this was only the second time I had left Stella with another family. It was such a great experience for her and me. Michael and I let the dogs meet ahead time and I felt very comfortable with both he and his dog. His entire family helped out and loved on Stella and it was a really positive experience. I would definitely use them again.”
“Philly is our go to! He's amazing with both our pups who are both so different. One is totally anxious and nervous and one is a total bully/ jerk, lol. They both love Philly and their time with his family.”
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”
“Where do I begin. Natalia was wonderful and I could tell Chuck was living his best Mini Doxie life. He was able to go to the beach and experience the ocean water, that brought tears to my eyes, because it's something I wouldn't be able to do because I'm a wheelchair user. She communicated & sent pictures through out the weekend. I will be asking Natalia again to watch Chuck again and highly recommend her.”
