“Jennifer folded Whimsy into her household. This was perfect. I didn’t worry about my dog while I was at two days of meetings. I appreciated Jennifer’s flexibility as my arrival time was later than anticipated.”
“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.”
“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”
“Jade was incredible! My dog had SO MUCH fun with her, and I was always sent photos/videos of him playing! I will 100% be bringing Huck back to Jade for the foreseeable future. I can’t recommend her enough”
“We were so concerned about finding the right sitter for Jinx. Zuri was fantastic though! Jinx got to make some new furry friends, and Zuri sent so many videos and picture updates! By the end of the first night, I knew we had made a good choice! Thank you Zuri, for being such a good sitter for our big spoiled fur baby!”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Diana cared for our 16 yr dog for a week. She is an excellent communicator and professional. Her home has plenty of outdoor space for him to roam free. She sent regular updates and pictures. She also is a groomer. Our pup is afraid of anyone who tries to groom him and hates water. Despite these obstacles she managed to give him a nice trim. I highly recommend Diana and will certainly hire her again!”
“I have a very difficult older rescue dog and Jules handled him beautifully! My other dog is an angel but a little shy, and Jules made her feel at home. I didnt worry and loved the updates. Great small dog home away from home.”
“Our pups were well cared for and came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the text update and pics sent partway through our trip. John and Tawna will definitely be our go-to boarders going forward.”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“I can’t say enough kind words about Gayle and her housemate Seth! They welcomed my boys into their home on very short notice for an overnight stay and fun day of play with their sweet pup Sitka. Sitka was a peach and shared all her toys with my boys. They were like 3 peas in a pod! Gayles home is the ultimate pup set up! Very clean and organized, lots of room inside and out for everyone to run and play freely. She provided me with frequent updates and pics of the boys enjoying themselves and OH! The way they bonded with her housemate! They were so comfortable and enjoyed all the cuddle time he gave them! I was in town for work, but will be making it a point to ask gayle for watching them on future work trips. Thanks so much again!”
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Tracy made us feel very comfortable during the meet and greet as well as the time away from Cinder. The picture and quick notes were much appreciated. We are confident Cinder was treated well and received the attention required. Hope she will take him again the next time we are unable to take him with us. ~Brian & Bobbi”
“Five stars aren't enough for Christine! She watched our two dogs for a week and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and check-ins, so we always knew our dogs were safe and having a great time. I never once felt anxious leaving them behind — and that peace of mind is priceless. We will absolutely be coming back to Christine every time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”

About: I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats, and for the past five years have regularly cat-sat for nearby friends. I love meeting and spending time with new cats. One of my favorite things to do when going on walks is to pet all my neighborhood cats!
“Sarah was amazing. My kitties are kind of shy and she was able to get them to come out and let her pet them and play. My daughter wants her contact information because she would like to book her to take care of her pets in the future too. We will definitely rebook. My husband says she was fantastic. Thank you so much, Sarah.”
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.
“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”
“Molly went above and beyond with our cats. She made sure to check on everyone single one of them and truly cared for them. This was our first time using Rover and she made it an amazing experience. I got pictures every visit she did. I will definitely will be using her again and I recommend her alot.”
“My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care”
“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
“Astrid was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty and was very responsive, along with sending lots of pics of our cat during the drop ins! I felt very secure while traveling knowing she was watching our cat and would definitely hire her again!”
About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!
“Wendy was great! She watched our dog and cat over the weekend. Our dog is older and has a difficult personality, but felt very at ease with Wendy checking in. She's very professional, friendly, and provided helpful updates. I will definitely use her again.”

“Amazing experience!!! This was the first time we had ever used Rover or had a dog sitter, so I was a bit worried. Remo is a 4 month old puppy and very mischievous. Zuri sent texts, photos and videos, so I could see what a great time Remo was having at her home. I would definitely book again with Zuri and totally have piece of mind that Remo is in good hands.”
“Wendy is awesome! She took amazing care of Norman while our family was gone. It was his first stay and she made him feel so comfortable and well taken care of. Plus during his stay, he got to have fun playtimes with other dogs as well! Wendy is very friendly and easy to work with. She was also great with photos/communication during Norman's visit.”
“As a first time user of Rover and never having left our pets with anyone other than family, naturally, I was very apprehensive about leaving Henry and Zira with complete strangers. Philly immediately put my mind at ease with the first video conference - he was very reassuring and understanding. During their stay with Philly we received regular updates on how the two were doing including pictures. When we picked them up they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. I will most definitely remember Philly and Rover the next time we need someone to watch these two again. Thank you so much.”
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”
“Kyra has been so wonderful to work with training our 1 year old! I can tell she genuinely cares about his development and well being. She is very responsive and flexible. We look forward to continuing having her and her pups be a part of our dog’s life.”
“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!”
“Super grateful for Tianna to watch my pup last minute. Lliira warmed up to her immediately. Tianna kept track of her potties and treats. Her home was clean and she’s got a decently sized backyard so Lliira had a chance to explore and be socialized with her own dogs. Very satisfied and will be using her again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
About: I attended an agriculture-based school from 6th grade until 12th grade, where I was taught veterinary skills, so I have all kinds of knowledge on pets, big or small! I am able to administer meds, monitor for illnesses and issues, and provide support for any needs. I will upkeep your desired training and commands for pets, because consistency is key. I always look forward to meeting new furry friends, and I look forward to forming bonds and trust with pets and customers both. I work part time on my own schedule, so I am available anytime. I have a preference for late night, early mornings, and overnight. I am flexible with my availability and can usually work something out based on customer’s schedules. I am diagnosed with a few physical disabilities, so it is always good for me to exercise and get out of the house. I have experience with allergy needs and always pay attention to details. Safety starts with following directions, and I will do everything that is requested of me. I will treat your pet as I would treat my own and give them top-tier care. I will never hesitate to ask questions for the safety of your pet, if I am unsure of something.

“Natalia is the right choice for a pet sitter. I’m so glad I found her. She did amazing with my dog. She’s friendly, professional, and reliable. Plus, she takes amazing photos! My dog came home each day happier than ever and was always excited to see her again. I could tell he was taken care of well. She also has a very clean house! I highly recommend Natalia.”
“Laura kindly helped me out, taking Cosi for a last min booking for daycare with one day notice, even though she had an exam that day. She even provided pick up and drop off from our home. We are lucky to have her helping us in a tough spot! And Cosi was very happy to see her. ❤️”
“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.”
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors.

I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working.

I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.
“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!”

“For several months David has been stopping by my West Salem residence practically every weekend to walk my small dog. I really appreciate his consistent communication with me. He has been patient with my dog as it took awhile for him to warm up to David. I would recommend David to anyone needing a pet care. .”
About: I have two cats at home and frequently pet-sit for friends & neighbors in the area. I have always had at least one cat in my home, and at one point lived with two miniature Australian Shepherds. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of time in my schedule. I typically work 5 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, sometimes weekends. I am accustomed to following meal and medication schedules for pets, as well as monitoring a cat on a leash outside or walking a dog twice per day. When walking dogs, I stick to the established route and avoid other dogs.
“We love having Aidan come visit our pup! He loves his time with her. Aidan is great at keeping me updated on her schedule and what they do during their daily play time/walks.”
About: I am a remote worker with extra time available. I grew up with labs and Shih Tzus as well as cats. I've been dog sitting for the past 8 years and have done volunteer camps at the Willamette Humane Society. I am pretty flexible this summer for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins. I can feed, walk, play with, cuddle, or even bathe your dog! I'm an animal lover and would be fine with other pets at the house, too. Watching and caring for dogs, cats or other pets is something I love to do on its own, aside from it being a "job." This would be a great way to spend my time. I am currently working part time, so will have time most days for drop ins, walks, etc. I am also available some weekends, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. If your pet is friendly, then it could be an option for them to come stay at my house.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 whenever my family or friends go out of town I’m always the go to person for pet sitting following each direction from feeding bathing to night time. I also send out updates so no worry’s. I am currently available Monday through Sunday, offering flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when needed , but if plans change please let me know 2 or 3 days before thank you When caring for pets, their safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before letting pets outside, keep harmful foods and household items out of reach, and closely monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully, provide plenty of supervision, and create a calm, safe environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“10/10 Daniel is awesome! It’s obvious that he genuinely cares for animals and wants to make them happy and feel comfortable. It was really nice knowing our dog Teton was in good hands while we were at work.”
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 have nurtured cats since I was a young kid and dogs almost as long. I enjoyed working at a veterinary clinic for a year and eventually want a career focused on wildlife rehabilitation. Giving pets all the attention, care and affection they need is something I find deep value in. From feeding, walking, enrichment, medical care, and sitting to other needs and quirks each animal requires for their unique personalities. I’m currently working part time and might be searching for other work here soon so my availability will become even more consistent here soon hopefully. I have a big backyard for my dog as well as my roommates dog and they get along so well. My cat also loves our yard. It’s great having space big enough to be a dog park when all my friends bring their dogs over so they can play together or take the space that they need.
About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.
“Was super patient with our newly adopted dog and kept me updated on his activities! I was so stressed at work because we hadnt left him alone yet since getting him and I didnt know what kind of destruction he would do to the house. Auna made sure the house was proofed when he refused to go back in his kennel which helped with peace of mind! She is awesome!”
“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
About: I enjoy spending time with animals. I'm really passionate about it and will care for any animal as if it were my own child. I'm an extroverted person who enjoys being helpful and kind to animals thus, I'm genuinely happiest when I get to take care of a pet. I can take care of your pet at any time of day because my other employment allows me to have a flexible schedule. All I ask is a 24-hour heads-up. I take care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, walking them, and providing for their needs. If necessary, I can even give them a bath. I also offer all animals my time, attention, and compassion.

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.

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: I've owned cats and dogs throughout my life and love both! Animals are the best, and I have many years of experience with house/pet sitting as well, everywhere from cats and dogs to horses and other animals.

I also have cameras in my home and am comfortable with cameras if you have any.

“Jade was incredible! My dog had SO MUCH fun with her, and I was always sent photos/videos of him playing! I will 100% be bringing Huck back to Jade for the foreseeable future. I can’t recommend her enough”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Our pups were well cared for and came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the text update and pics sent partway through our trip. John and Tawna will definitely be our go-to boarders going forward.”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“I can’t say enough kind words about Gayle and her housemate Seth! They welcomed my boys into their home on very short notice for an overnight stay and fun day of play with their sweet pup Sitka. Sitka was a peach and shared all her toys with my boys. They were like 3 peas in a pod! Gayles home is the ultimate pup set up! Very clean and organized, lots of room inside and out for everyone to run and play freely. She provided me with frequent updates and pics of the boys enjoying themselves and OH! The way they bonded with her housemate! They were so comfortable and enjoyed all the cuddle time he gave them! I was in town for work, but will be making it a point to ask gayle for watching them on future work trips. Thanks so much again!”
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Tracy made us feel very comfortable during the meet and greet as well as the time away from Cinder. The picture and quick notes were much appreciated. We are confident Cinder was treated well and received the attention required. Hope she will take him again the next time we are unable to take him with us. ~Brian & Bobbi”
“Five stars aren't enough for Christine! She watched our two dogs for a week and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and check-ins, so we always knew our dogs were safe and having a great time. I never once felt anxious leaving them behind — and that peace of mind is priceless. We will absolutely be coming back to Christine every time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Joseph was great with our pups. He helped us out last minute when we were in a mind and was very responsive. The pups had so much fun running around and making friends! We would love to have him watch them again!”
“Excellent communication, the pups were well cared for, and we were kept informed during their time away from our family. Was so nice to see the space and know they were not just in a kennel and alone. Definitely worth it!”
“Karlie was very flexible and easy to plan with. Her house is very dog friendly and her pup, Dresden, is a great playmate! Our dog didn’t care when we left at drop off because she was already having so much fun.”
“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
