“Crystal, Joel, and family are the best! Repeat sitter for our two beagles over a couple years now. Photo updates, and communication is excellent, and as always, their patience goes above and beyond for our two (barky) pups! Thanks, you all!”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“Luna had a great stay with Katelyn. Communication was excellent from the start. It was nice having a little peace of mind knowing that Luna would either be playing in the backyard with her new doggy friend or chilling in the house with Katelyn and her fam. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Our pups did well with Claire on their first stay! Claire was very communicative and sent photos too. She was very patient and understanding of letting our girls adjust to a new environment. Claire is very knowledgeable and gave us a few helpful recommendations as well.”
“Denise was great! She communicated well prior to the trip, sent pictures and updates during Bailey’s stay per my request and was very kind and sweet. Bailey is a small dog with a big personality and grouchy at times and she did well with him. Would recommend and book her again!”
“Tessa, Tyler and their family were amazing sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my dog knowing she was in good hands. Tessa was great about sending regular updates and pictures. I love that their property has a huge fenced area for the dogs to run and play. The fact that they are home most of the day is awesome too. Will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”
“Brittany was super awesome! My puppy had a great time running around and going on adventures with her. She is a great communicator and sent plenty of photos we will definitely be back :)”
“Highly recommend Corynne and Matthew! They watched our 2 dogs while we were out of the country for 11 days. They did great with both of them, which are completely different in their needs: one a very energetic 2 year old heeler mix and the other a 16 year old lab mix. They administered meds for our senior also. Our dogs had such a great time, they didn’t want to leave. Will be booking again - thanks!”
“Diane has such calm, patient energy for dogs. She has a great house and a big yard for them to run around. You can tell she loves dogs, and loves having them at her house. We felt so comfortable leaving Annie there for 10 days, which was a long stay! She was loved and cared for in every way.”
“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“Amy & Robert are great pup sitters, and Oakland is a wonderful doggie host 🐾 lots of communication, care and kindness. I think Maple is a bit sad to be home 😆 We will definitely use them again! Thank you!”
“I boarded my dogs with Joshua and had a great experience. They took really good care of them, and it was clear my dogs were comfortable and happy during their stay. One of the best parts is that the dogs got to play and socialize with other dogs in a safe, supervised environment. It’s a nice change from being cooped up in a kennel – they came home tired and content. Joshua was easy to communicate with and gave me updates while I was away, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone looking for a dependable sitter in a home environment.”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“My dog had a great time with Cameron and her dog Bo. I was updated daily on the fun they were having. She treated my dog like part of the family. We will definitely use Cameron in the future.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“fantastic. care. we were apprehensive leaving our baby and Tina & James were amazing! Updates with pictures were sent with great little notes attached. We highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”

About: I once had 4 cats in my house. I know how to care for them and make them comfortable as well as entertained. Cats are a special kind of pet and with my years of experience I’m beyond confident I can give them the environment needed to stay safe and healthy, and of course happy.
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I understand that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others need time, patience, and a calm approach to feel comfortable. I always let cats interact at their own pace and work to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'm experienced caring for cats of all ages, including seniors and those with special medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications when needed and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall well-being. Whether your cat enjoys play sessions, quiet companionship, or simply having someone dependable to care for them while you're away, I'll provide attentive care and regular updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
About: I’ve owned my own kitty since 2010 and previously her brother who was special needs. I also have fostered kittens and nursed them back to health we found on our property until a rescue took them in.
About: People can trust me as a cat sitter because I am dependable, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s needs. I make sure cats are fed on schedule, have clean water and litter boxes, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also give them plenty of attention, patience, and care. All cats have different personalities.
“Alex worked really hard to fit us into her schedule. She did exactly what we asked and sent us pictures even though she never saw our feral-ish babies except once! She is responsive, professional, kind did a wonderful job for us! I would absolutely recommend Alex!”
“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 14 years old and currently own three cats at different life stages. I’m experienced in meeting a variety of feline needs, from playful young cats to seniors. I maintain clean, consistent hygiene practices, including litter box care, feeding routines, and providing a safe, comfortable environment for every cat in my care.
“My cat immediately connected with Justine. I was pleased to see they continued to interact with each other and my cat didn’t hide during the visits. Wonderful peace of mind to have Justine care for my cat and it went so well!”
About: I have a doggo of my own and would love to meet yours as well!! Registered Nurse looking to walk dogs in my spare time. Thanks for trusting in me! Work a few days a week, and my schedule varies each week. I am very active and would love to walk and run your pet! I can accommodate and help with whatever your dog needs at that time, whether it’s just letting them run around your yard, playing with them, tiring them out on a long walk or run, providing companionship and snuggles, etc.. just let me know!
“Jessica was very responsive and was very kind to book me in a short amount of notice. She was kind with the cats, very informative and kept me up-to-date with everything. She was very thorough and dependable. Five out of five would recommend for anyone.”
About: Young and old, disabled and moody, I've cared for them all, and have never been without several cats in my life. My Mother used to rescue/trap, spay/neuter, nurse/tame. We have even tamed adult wild cats. It takes lots of time and patience. I've pet sit for many kitties, even for a cat rescue other than ours with over 50 cats. That was incredible! I look forward to meeting your fur baby.
About: I have done dogsitting and catsitting for seven years. I've done so for four or five families. I've grown up with pets, so I'm very comfortable with them. Currently, I work part time so I have plenty of time for this work during the week. I can do daily walks, check ins, and dogsitting. I am happy to care for pets in your home however you prefer. Just let me know any routines you like to do with your pet.
About: Although if asked, I’d say I’m a dog person. That hasn’t stopped me however from owning and caring for the kitties in our midsts. I’ve only owned kitties that could go outside so the litter box was not apart of my experience at home. I have, however, taken care of cats that live indoors only, and I’m very aware of the importance of a clean and tidy litter box.

“I visited Eugene and needed some day care for my pups. Morgan is the first sitter I’ve felt totally comfortable leaving my dogs with in a long time. They both have their own unique personalities that require a watchful eye; Morgan was able to assure me they would be safe and upon meeting her I instantly knew they would be. She even went out of her way to help transport them at the end of day. Highly recommend Morgan (shoutout to her adorable dog Clover)!”
“Joshua and Jenny were wonderful with my dog, and I so appreciate their flexibility with meeting me in the late evening and ensuring Daisy had a cozy place to spend a long day while I was busy with meetings on a visit to Eugene. Daisy was nervous at first around the big, but gentle, dogs in the home because she is teeny tiny, but they gave her time to get used to everything and settle in, and by the end of the day Daisy was so comfortable she was eating her dinner, which historically she is too antsy to do at new sitters’ houses! Daisy says thank you to Jenny for the lap time and snuggles. And communication with Joshua was always extremely fast, which put me at ease. Thank you both!”
About: I've been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, that is 50+ years of wagging tails. I know how important consistency is for keeping dogs calm, especially when they're staying somewhere new. My goal is to make their time with me feel as close to "home" as possible. Whether your dog (aka family member) wants snuggles, a cozy nap spot, playtime with my dog, or a little quiet space to themselves, I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I’m home full‑time and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day/night. My home is relaxed, warm, and set up for dogs to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep things safe, clean, and low‑stress, and I follow each dog’s natural rhythm — whether that’s playtime, naps, snuggles, or simply hanging out nearby. I share my home with my young male mix‑breed dog (born 12/6/24), a poodle/wire‑haired terrier mix who’s neutered, well‑behaved, and absolutely loves meeting new dog friends. He’s gentle, social, and always happy to have a buddy around, but I also make sure every visiting dog has space and downtime whenever they want it.
“Hoppy is a bit of a handful and is always up to something, he seems to enjoy the small groups of dogs Michelly places him with and he comes home tired, so I know he's been playing all day. I highly recommend.”
“Tessa and her family are so wonderful with Ruger. He enjoys his time with them so much. He loves playing with Duke and any other dogs that are staying with them. He comes home a happy and tired boy. So grateful to have such a great place to leave him.”
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
“Laura, Lawrence & Lilah took wonderful care of Bella. She had never stayed or been around other dogs. Bella and Lilah were friends right off. They sent me many pictures which made my vacation less stressful. Bella was very comfortable there, it showed in their pictures. I would give them a 5 plus 🌟”
About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.
“Denise was amazing. Coffee gets anxiety being away from me and she was able to calm him down and he even jumped up in her lap for a nap by the middle of the day.”
“Daycare was a wonderful experience with Jennifer and Josh! Berry’s first visit was fantastic. He got to play and socialize, and I felt no worries while he was there. The meet and greet the day before was perfect assurance that it would be a good and safe fit. Drop off and pick up was very smooth and I received a photo and an update on how he was doing during the stay. Jennifer was also kind enough to give me feedback and guidance on training. Really looking forward to having Berry stay with them again soon.”
“Claire was patient and kind with our younger rescue dog, Quince, who can get stressed in new environments. Our senior dog, Duncan, seemed to do great. We appreciated the pictures of their day and were happy they were comfortable enough to settle in for a snooze. Their home seemed warm and inviting with plenty of comfy spaces to cuddle up. Claire had some good insight for future visits, and we hope to be able to have our boys in her care in the near future.”
“I couldn't ask for a better sitter for my dog Juniper. She felt right at home in Jamie's house and with her family. They gave her lots of attention throughout the day and even took her to hang out with the neighbors' dogs. Jamie sent me updates and lots of pictures throughout the day and that really helped to ease my anxiety while at work. 10/10 would recommend to everyone for dog sitting and I will definitely be bringing Juniper back to Jamie in the future!!!”
“Thank you for making Bolo's first time at a sitter a smooth sailing one!. I appreciate your care and kindness so much!. I would definitely take him back again when the time comes. Happy Thanksgiving, Valerie!!”
“Mari and Steve provided a wonderful experience from beginning to end. They took extra care to make our dog and us feel at ease, communication was quick, and our dog left daycare happy and well loved!”
About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“Hannah is amazing! She made my clingy and anxious chihuahua feel comfortable and right at home. ? I’m very particular about who I leave him with and she is friendly and answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I received photos and updates during his stay! So glad I found her! Thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, and even a chinchilla throughout my life, so I’ve truly never known life without being surrounded by animals. I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for them has always come naturally to me, whether they’re my own or belong to family and friends. I have roughly 10+ years of non-professional experience and 3 years of professional experience caring for pets, including pet sitting and working with animals of different personalities and needs. A lot of the photos on my profile are actually with pets I’ve cared for, pet sat, or even strays I’ve come across and helped. I also love the outdoors and hiking, so if your pet enjoys being active or going on little adventures, I’m more than happy to bring them along in a safe and fun way. At the same time, my current pets are total couch potatoes who love to relax and lounge around, so I’m just as comfortable matching that calm, low energy vibe. Whether your pet is playful or prefers to take it easy, I’m attentive and focused on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I currently live with my roommate’s 2 year old cat, so I’m used to daily care and attention. I also will be helping care for a new dog starting later this year, which I’m really excited about. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, whether that’s daily visits, walks, or spending extended time with your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment and keep a clean, calm, and pet safe space. That being said, I’ll be moving into a townhome with more space at the end of August. No matter the space, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a secure and loving environment for every pet I care for.

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.
About: I have done dogsitting and catsitting for seven years. I've done so for four or five families. I've grown up with pets, so I'm very comfortable with them. Currently, I work part time so I have plenty of time for this work during the week. I can do daily walks, check ins, and dogsitting. I am happy to care for pets in your home however you prefer. Just let me know any routines you like to do with your pet.
About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. I still have that cat today she is 16 and a 1 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)

“AJ is amazing, I really trust her with my home and my dog Milo. She’s always very flexible and knows what she’s doing. I truly feel like my dog is taken care of when he’s with her. 10/10 recommend and will also be using her consistently”
About: I’ve had and taken care of animals from dogs to cats to reptiles to rodents my whole life. Whatever you’ve got I’ll be happy to put your mind at ease and provide the proper care your animal needs while you’re away. My previous work experience is primarily in pediatric care for children with autism but I’m currently between jobs and have a completely open schedule until the beginning of 2026. Wherever and whenever you need me I will be there! My own pets currently are an American Bobtail cat who requires medication for urinary issues every day and a German Shepherd-Husky mix which naturally requires more exercise than the average dog. I’m very accustomed to “higher” maintenance animals and with more extensive routines and don’t mind putting in the extra labor of love for any animal. I have been the go-to pet sitter of my friends and family since middle school with a reputation for reliability and loving care. I have a large range of animal experience including pets that require more specialized and delicate care such as exotic, young, or senior pets. If I stay with your pet in your home you will return as if I was never there to a clean home and a happy pet.
About: I have been a regular dog and house sitter for a family in the Eugene/Springfield area for 5 years. The family had 3 dogs. Duration of length of pet and house sit varied from one overnight to a month. I have also done feline check-ins for a a friends. Have done one-time-only pet sits for other people and regular pet sits for housemates with their own pets. I'm currently unemployed. I have ample time to prioritize care for your pet. I am seeking part time employment. If found, this will extend the hours of day that your pet is left alone in the house. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.
About: Looking for more reviews? Check out Trusted House Sitters and search for my profile. I care for all living beings, but dogs are my go to when it comes to spending time and feeling at home in a world I choose. I've trained many breeds over the years and have heard various techniques. The older I've gotten the more formal the training I've received. All of which has been positive reinforcement training. I once went through a program that taught me how to train my own service animal. The techniques are very similar to the way I was during my early years when classes were not on my radar. My dog would simply go everywhere with me and learned how to behave in each setting without much effort at all. With the more formal training in recent years the fun part I find is desensitizing, shaping, training while playing, and having a great friend with me at all times. I do not claim to have had a ton of success reversing already spun habits. It's important to start pups young in many cases, though there are also many dogs that are easy going enough they can pick this up in no time. Whether you have a pet for the the home, all kinds, I will care for them as you do and I'll send you on your carefree way with full confidence. Boarding dogs at my house is limited to easy to manage temperaments and activity levels do to the fact our home is very small with hard wood and we have no fenced yard. My husband and I are both retired. I've recently lost my elder Irish Setter who spent most all his time with us. Now I have a Mini Poodle pup who's being trained to fill some pretty big shoes. So far it's smooth sailing! When going into others homes I simply follow their daily routines and instructions. My time is devoured to the animals. I rarely have things that would require me to shift focus. While at our house I make sure needs are met first, set the tone with rules of the house and have plenty of interactions with them through out the day. We take frequent walks and set up play time in the garage. I love the elders and yet can't pass up a puppy. I've not sat for cats in my home and would not feel comfortable doing so unless the owner knows something I don't know regarding their outings.
About: It’s been rough - three rainbow bridge trips in short order. I need more time before I go down that road again, but in the meantime, I will happily love your dog (or cat, or parrot, or lizard, or...?) as if s/he were my own. I have a special fondness for seniors and special needs, but I’m game for anything. And, who doesn’t like puppies and an in-the-prime-of-lifer?? Ornery, shy, suspicious, or complicated personalities happily embraced. I am patient and sensitive to the fact that some animals need lots of closeness and reassurance while others need their space. I’m willing to work to earn their trust and set appropriate boundaries to earn yours. The pet and owner and I will work together to set the terms of our relationship, and I promise to be a most excellent guardian catering to each individual’s needs. My most consistent regular obligation is a daily trip to the barn to take care of my horse, but if needed, I have alternate coverage. I try to keep my presence low profile while I’m there. I appreciate the trust that comes with visiting in someone else’s home. When you come home, it’s nice for everyone if you can barely tell I was there.
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
About: I have a doggo of my own and would love to meet yours as well!! Registered Nurse looking to walk dogs in my spare time. Thanks for trusting in me! Work a few days a week, and my schedule varies each week. I am very active and would love to walk and run your pet! I can accommodate and help with whatever your dog needs at that time, whether it’s just letting them run around your yard, playing with them, tiring them out on a long walk or run, providing companionship and snuggles, etc.. just let me know!
About: I have had the joy of sharing life with a wide variety of dogs in my time. I have lived with cats, small dogs and big dogs. I tend to prefer the bigger dogs myself, because I love their cuddles. I have also cohabitated with cats, and enjoy their cuddles and purr vibrations. I have trained all of my dogs with the positive reinforcement method. I understand that dogs love to have boundaries made clear, so that they can feel safe. I do not raise my voice with dogs, and focus on reinforcing the positive choices that they make. I am experienced with giving medications to animals, even grumpy senior cats. I am patient with all animals, reliable and responsible for all pet owners. I value having a trustworthy petsitter for my own pets, and want to offer that to others in return. I am currently available anytime for pet care. I have some hobbies, but can easily schedule around them. With my own dogs, I am very active. We go on walks daily and often do road trips to the beach. I care for pets with patience and respect for the animals needs as well as the owners requests and preferences. I am very clean and organized, and will leave any space I am in clean.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love animals! I started house sitting dogs about 10 years ago in Oregon. Nova is a golden retriever and she is a pretty low key and very good with all dogs, cats and children. I have experience with both rescue dogs and anxiety ridden dogs. I love to be outdoors so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise at a place of your comfort! I am excited to care for your pet for you :) I currently work a part time job and have flexibility for most days and times of the week. I have a little girl that does most everything with me and understand if arrangements need to be made to accomodate your pet’s comfortability around children. Just let me know. :) I have a fully fenced yard and our sweet Nova (golden retriever) to keep your pet entertained and engaged. We have a pretty laid back style in the home with dogs allowed on couches and beds. They have an abundance of dog beds in a few rooms too if that is more your preference.
About: I’ve been caring for horses, dogs, cats, chickens and yes even cows my whole life and as my kids have become adults I’d love to offer some of my new found free time to your pets as well on temporary basis when needed for vacations, long days away or check in’s or walks when you’re gone overnight or for trips out of town. As a 42 yr old empty nester who can only walk and hike and rollerblade with my dog so much I’d love to use some of my available time to help others with their pets! I personally know how much I appreciate knowing my pet is cared for when I’m not home and would love to offer the same comfort on occasion in your home and possibility for occasional boarding at mine as well. As a Licensed Real Estate agent I am very experienced with the care and trust it takes to let someone in your home and as a loving dog owner I know how precious these furry friends are and how important their health and safety is to their humans.

“Crystal, Joel, and family are the best! Repeat sitter for our two beagles over a couple years now. Photo updates, and communication is excellent, and as always, their patience goes above and beyond for our two (barky) pups! Thanks, you all!”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“Luna had a great stay with Katelyn. Communication was excellent from the start. It was nice having a little peace of mind knowing that Luna would either be playing in the backyard with her new doggy friend or chilling in the house with Katelyn and her fam. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Tessa, Tyler and their family were amazing sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my dog knowing she was in good hands. Tessa was great about sending regular updates and pictures. I love that their property has a huge fenced area for the dogs to run and play. The fact that they are home most of the day is awesome too. Will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”
“Brittany was super awesome! My puppy had a great time running around and going on adventures with her. She is a great communicator and sent plenty of photos we will definitely be back :)”
“Highly recommend Corynne and Matthew! They watched our 2 dogs while we were out of the country for 11 days. They did great with both of them, which are completely different in their needs: one a very energetic 2 year old heeler mix and the other a 16 year old lab mix. They administered meds for our senior also. Our dogs had such a great time, they didn’t want to leave. Will be booking again - thanks!”
“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“I boarded my dogs with Joshua and had a great experience. They took really good care of them, and it was clear my dogs were comfortable and happy during their stay. One of the best parts is that the dogs got to play and socialize with other dogs in a safe, supervised environment. It’s a nice change from being cooped up in a kennel – they came home tired and content. Joshua was easy to communicate with and gave me updates while I was away, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone looking for a dependable sitter in a home environment.”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“My dog had a great time with Cameron and her dog Bo. I was updated daily on the fun they were having. She treated my dog like part of the family. We will definitely use Cameron in the future.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“fantastic. care. we were apprehensive leaving our baby and Tina & James were amazing! Updates with pictures were sent with great little notes attached. We highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Mari and her family took such great care of our 11yr old lab. Loved all the photo updates, flexibility and communication during the stay - but was especially so impressed the way they made Pepper feel right at home and a part of their family. I could tell he loved his stay and we're excited to have a great place for Pepper to stay when we travel.”
“Such a great experience! Brittany was quick to communicate and sent daily updates and pics. My dog had such a great time hiking and playing with other dogs. She came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She gave us lots of updates and sent frequent pictures so we knew our buddy was doing well. When we picked him up, he seemed pooped, so we know he got lots of attention and exercise. We would 100% have our fur baby stay with Jacqueline again!”
