“Maddy is knowledgeable, caring and very communicative. She was able to take our dog on short notice while were were dealing with come emergencies. She understands and is very experienced with dogs (and their humans) and left us feeling very at ease. I would definitely recommend reaching out to her for caring for your dog!!!”
“Denise was great with my cockapoo! I left him with her while I was on an extended vacation. He was taken for walks daily, nurtured with love and fed well. His diet even improved under her care. Her place is located adjacent to Delta Ponds so she is fortunate to have some wildlife come by to visit outside her back slider door. Dexter was able to see a Squirell, Blue Jay and other birds. His walks to the ponds kept him engaged and happy. He was also socialized with other dogs that she sits. All in all he came back as a better dog and was very happy to spend time with her. He had no separation anxiety at all and was very content. I received daily photos of him and was updated about how he was doing regularly. I would recommend Denise to any one looking for a sitter. Her rates are great as well.”
“This was Roxy’s first overnight stay and she seemed to do wonderfully! She was so excited when we first pulled up and remembered coming here even though it’s been a few weeks. Roxy has such a fun time hanging out with the family and other dogs and that gives me peace of mind that she’s having well taken care of. I appreciate how responsive Joel and Crystal are and love getting the picture updates! I will definitely be booking again and Roxy will be so happy to come back!”
“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.”
“Lauren is the best! She not only takes great care of our cockapoo, but she goes the extra mile. We appreciate knowing our pup is in great hands when we’re away!”
“Riley had so much fun at Sabrina’s. I boarded him for 3 nights and 4 days. Sabrina sent me photos every day of Riley playing with the other dogs. Although he was happy to see me I think he is depressed that he is not playing with his buddies.”
“Joseph was an excellent dog sitter and took the best care of our 2 goldendoodles for nearly 3 weeks. Our senior dog has a hard time with traditional walks and Joseph’s place was perfect for him. He could walk around, sniff and play in a huge enclosed yard- just what he needed. We appreciated the photos and updates. We will definitely use his services in the future!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience for our dogs. Our two dogs just spent two weeks with Diana at her home while we went abroad and I’ve never felt so good about leaving them with anyone before. Diana is a caring and fun caretaker and our dogs had the best time with her and her family at their lovely home. They even received some training and learned about agility with her. We received updates and photos daily which were gifts to us as we missed them while away. I’m relieved to know they have such a wonderful place to stay while we travel. 5 stars!”
“The sweetest and kindest cat sitter ever. Connie took absolutely amazing care of my cat Honeybear. I felt very safe knowing that Honeybear was in Connie's care. She sent me daily pictures and videos of my kitty, and did all the duties perfectly and made my Honeybear a very happy kitty. Amazing care from an amazing person!”
“Excellent job boarding our Great Dane. They were communicative and did a great job anccomidating our senior dog. We will definitely use Dylan for future bookings.”
“This was Cashew's his first time without me and he's two! He's a blond and white 11 pound Pomeranian So it was kind of a big deal especially for me to leave him with a new person for 2 nights and three days. Teresa set up a play date for him one day which he loved . I found Cashew happy and calm when I returned. Teresa is very calm, very attentive and loving. Also she reliable and trustworthy. Cashew stayed at her place but Ill be giving her a key to my home in the future. She supplied him with plenty of play and walks. She will be my first choice when I need a sitter. Julie V.”

“Alivia sat for Sage over the Christmas holidays while we were out of town and was fantastic. She kept us updated and took great care 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!!”
“What a great experience from start to finish! Sabrina is very kind, responds quickly, and sends lots of pictures/updates. My dog looked like she had a blast! I know she was greatly taken care of. I’ll absolutely be boarding my dog with her again”
“Thank you so so much for being patient with little ball of anxiety. I am so glad Oaks liked it. I highly highly recommend Valerie. Thank you also for keeping me in the loop with how she was doing, it helped me :)”
“Derrick is more than just an excellent dog sitter. He provides an exceptional service that goes far beyond watching your dog. He truly cares about your dog’s personality and developing a positive relationship with both you and your dog. Derrick was kind and patient with our timid pup. He then slowly introduced one of his dogs and after 20 mins, both dogs were the best of friends.”

“Really great care for my very active boy. They incorporated rest times which was important to me since he can't self moderate activity and will play until he hurts himself if allowed.”
“Howser thoroughly enjoyed his time with Angie and her pups! It's so comforting to know he gets to be with a true dog lover when I need to be away from him.”
“Joe (he much prefers “Joe”) clearly showed our two furkids a great time! New friends to play with, a comfy chair for their snooze breaks, plus plenty of fenced yard to enjoy. Good with sending updates and great with giving them their meds. All of this in a lovely, quiet forest setting. Eight paws up for Joe’s care! We’ll be back. 🐾”
“I was nervous like a parent dropping their kid off for the first day of kindergarten. My dog hasn't had much separation from me in her seven years and it was her first time at doggy daycare. She had a blast!!I got a bunch of pictures videos and status reports that made nervous dad feel wonderful. She was worn out and slept with a big contented smile on her face!”

“Joshua was a life saver for us. We were attending a track meet and didn’t want to leave our buddy in the car all day. Joshua took our booking with just a few days notice and provided a great place for our pup to hang out all day. Highly recommended!”
“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”
“Colin had a great time! It was so nice to get pictures and videos throughout the day, especially since it was my first time leaving him somewhere and his first time spending time with an adult dog. Paul was great with my puppy from the very beginning and I would definitely book with him again.”
“Absolutely wonderful first day with Brandy! When I picked Sampson up after leaving him for the day, he wasn’t all wound up and anxious like he normally is if I leave him with a friend. He was relaxed and immediately slept the rest of the night. She tuckered a border collie out!! I will absolutely be taking him back. 100% recommend.”

About: I‘ve had pets as long as I can remember. I have a cat and a dog who love to play! My family bred cats growing up, so I have dealt with MANY different situations and know the proper responses in emergency situations. I have experience training, walking, socializing, and showing dogs and cats. I love pets and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. Spending time with pets brings me joy.

I love to play tug and fetch and use wand toys to entertain, but am just as comfortable giving snuggles or taking your furry friends on a walk.
About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to keep your pet safe and happy.
About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and breads since I was five years old. My neighbors and friends trust me to take impeccable care for their pets. I am currently in college and I work part-time three days a week. Although, I have quite a bit of free time and in that time I usually like to workout or try new things. Occasionally my family and I go to bend on the weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a property that Is not heavily populated by cars on the road. I also have three varying sized crates as well as two dogs. My dogs are let out every 1-2 hours. One of my dogs is crated when I am not home and my other dog does not have to be crated. In my clients home, I will care for their pets like my client would normally and I will ensure that their home is left clean.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own!

I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!
About: I am familiar with dogs of all breeds. I am very intuitive to dogs. I have walked up to three dogs at once. I would be interested in taking your dog or dogs to dog parks and etc. My schedule is pretty open. My dog is getting older and can't do so much any more. I am looking for personal exercise and income. I I live in an apartment. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day on a normal day plus I try to take him to the park twice a week.
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“Teya was great with my pup! Quick response & timely during her visits. She followed all the directions I gave her and was even able to accommodate a last minute change of schedule. Sent great pics & even performed tricks with my pup from a list I gave her. Would book her again for walks/home visits :)”
About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them.

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a small town on a farm! Dogs health & happiness is my priority. Right now I am in the middle of summer so my schedule is very free & open! Once school starts I will have a better idea what day to day will look like:) I live in a pet friendly house with my sister who loves dogs! There is great neighborhoods to walk through. I also have a backyard that we can play in. As an athlete at the University of Oregon it is a top priority of mine to ensure responsibility, promptness, and keep the owners up to date with photos, and the overall safety of the pet.
“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 would be an ideal candidate for dog sitting and walking because I have years of hands-on experience caring for family dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, which helps me build trust with both pets and their owners. As a stay-at-home mom with one son, I have a flexible daily routine and open availability throughout the week. My days include staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are busy or away. “I can provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for dogs in my home. I’m a stay-at-home mom with one son and two friendly dogs, so visiting pets would receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and I can provide a crate if needed to help dogs feel secure and comfortable during their stay.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs of all personalities, from easygoing labs to high energy, sometimes anxious heelers. That taught me early on how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and build trust with pets at their own pace! In college, I started out studying pre vet before following my passion into wildlife biology, and I’ll be starting grad school this fall studying ecology and evolution with a focus on wildlife. I also spent a summer working with a nonprofit dog rescue in Houston, Texas, helping save dogs from the streets and from kill shelters. It was hands on and sometimes challenging, but really rewarding. I helped with medications, cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, and made sure each one felt safe and cared for. I truly believe every animal is special and deserves patience, understanding, and a little extra love. I’ve always found it easy to connect with animals, and I love seeing even shy or anxious pets start to relax and show their personality. Right now I’m saving up for grad school, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than being around animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own! I currently have Wednesday's and Thursday's off. I am free all day to take your pups on a mid day walk or keep them company while you are out of town! The rest of my week I work from 9:00-6:00 so my availability is more limited. I live on acreage in the Veneta area. Our property is mostly fenced and includes an orchard, a creek, and plenty of space for play and adventure! I have one pup of my own who absolutely loves other dogs. He’s a medium-sized herding dog who would be thrilled to show a new friend around the property. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always strive to be a respectful and gracious guest. I’m a very tidy, thoughtful person and take great care to leave your home exactly as you left it, if not better! I believe it’s incredibly valuable for animals to remain in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals and believe that a calm, warm demeanor, along with a consistent routine, is key to making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

“Joseph was an excellent dog sitter and took the best care of our 2 goldendoodles for nearly 3 weeks. Our senior dog has a hard time with traditional walks and Joseph’s place was perfect for him. He could walk around, sniff and play in a huge enclosed yard- just what he needed. We appreciated the photos and updates. We will definitely use his services in the future!”
“The sweetest and kindest cat sitter ever. Connie took absolutely amazing care of my cat Honeybear. I felt very safe knowing that Honeybear was in Connie's care. She sent me daily pictures and videos of my kitty, and did all the duties perfectly and made my Honeybear a very happy kitty. Amazing care from an amazing person!”
“Excellent job boarding our Great Dane. They were communicative and did a great job anccomidating our senior dog. We will definitely use Dylan for future bookings.”
“This was Cashew's his first time without me and he's two! He's a blond and white 11 pound Pomeranian So it was kind of a big deal especially for me to leave him with a new person for 2 nights and three days. Teresa set up a play date for him one day which he loved . I found Cashew happy and calm when I returned. Teresa is very calm, very attentive and loving. Also she reliable and trustworthy. Cashew stayed at her place but Ill be giving her a key to my home in the future. She supplied him with plenty of play and walks. She will be my first choice when I need a sitter. Julie V.”
“Erin was at the door waiting for our dogs to escort the dogs into her home for drop off. She also brought the dogs to the door at pick up. The dogs came home, happy and healthy and glad to see us. ✅.”

“Cecilia was so wonderful with Daisy. The daily updates and pictures were great. It almost seemed like she was with her second family ? I would definitely recommend Cecilia and use her again!”
“I'm so glad we met Shelby through Rover. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our senior dog for the night. She was communicative, sent pics, and several updates throughout our dog's stay. We appreciate the love she gave our girl and highly recommend her!”
“My dog was well cared for and enjoyed playing with Amanda and Matthew’s dogs. He liked the attention he receives from them and was tired after returning home. I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates about my dog while he was in their care. Great experience overall.”
“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!”
“Highly recommend! When I dropped my dog off with Keith and Megan, he must have immediately felt at home because he barely said goodbye to me. The whole drop off made me feel so reassured and comfortable. They also sent plenty of photo updates throughout the visit! Booking with them was a great experience. They were flexible, accommodating, and affordable. I can’t thank Keith, Megan, and their lovely kiddos enough for treating my baby like their own family (and even comforting him during a thunderstorm). No question- they would be my first choice for any future boardings.”
“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”
“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!”
“Angle took great care of my dog! I received regular updates, photos & videos & my pup. He loved playing with Tahoe & the other Rover friends. My dog came back happy, tired & content. He had such a blast on his mini vacation! Thanks Angie!”
“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.”
