“I highly recommend Amy. She listens well and responds to the needs of my pet dog in a kind and supportive manner. She has a great and loving environment. She is gracious with any special needs. My dog Sierra recently finished her Spay procedure and was still recovering when Amy took on her care. She took all the necessary precautions. I am very happy to leave Sierra in the care of Amy just like I would with a good friend. She also took regular photos and provided updates on a daily basis. Your pet will be in good hands with Amy.”
“Garrett and family were fantastic! They treated Chai as their own and sent frequent photos and updates. She got along great with their dog and I could tell she was happy and relaxed for her stay! We will definitely be using them again. Thank you Garrett!”
“Alicia Denise was amazing with our three very energetic labs. She sent photos of them playing and having fun in her yard while we were away which put our minds at ease about leaving them in a new place. When we picked them up they were happy and healthy. She responded immediately to all text messages, even talking to me on the phone to ease my nervousness about how Rover works before we booked (this was our first time using Rover). When I realized that I had entered the wrong time for pick up, she was very accommodating and took care of the change in Rover for me. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”
“Elizabeth was really kind and understanding! Made sure my cats were comfortable, and was very patient and accommodating when I had to book extra days. Thank you so much to you and your family!”
“Amazing family who took excellent care of our 2 dogs!! We didn’t have a single worry while our dogs were with them. EXCELLENT communication during their stay, also. Our pups will DEFINITELY be staying again, they loved it!”
About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!
“I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are to have found Dorthy to watch our sweet fur baby, Pippy! They took fantastic care of her with updates and photos the entire time. Our sweet girl took a doggy vacation while we were away with nature walks, fun with the other dogs, play time, long naps, and brushing her out. She was one happy girl all weekend long! Thank you so much for loving our girl and playing with her. It brought us a lot of comfort knowing she was having a blast and safe. I am excited for our next trip and more puppy vacations for Pip! This was better than leaving her with our family!”
“Allyse is amazing. I haven't left my dog's before except one time. One of my dog's has anxiety pretty bad. She sent pictures of my pups resting with her on the couch, she didn't have to give his anxiety meds. Either. Just knowing they were in good hands allowed me to have a good time. She is awesome!”
“Serena was absolutely incredible with my dog Oliver! He was instantly happy to meet her and her family at the meet great and had a wonderful weekend getting spoiled with lots of cuddles and walks everyday! Will absolutely be booking with Serena in the future!”
“Julianne and Ragen let Milo into the center of their lives for ten days while I traveled. He got lots of lap time, snuggles, treats, walks, and got to sleep on their bed, which made him comfortable when I couldn't be with him. They noticed a scabby wound and messaged, asking my permission to treat it; it healed well. Daily, I got a report on Milo; many days a pic, too. This was only the second time I was away from him this long. I was privileged to feel he was so safe and loved. It let me enjoy my trip without worry. Julianne and Ragen have had their own small dogs. They knew how to care for Milo and did it well!”
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.
“Jianna was an amazing sitter! She boarded my dog Carrick and was super understanding of him and his anxiety’s! She took him on many walks and made sure he was safe! She was so understanding and communicative Thank you Jianna and Hope to see you again soon!”
“Cheyenne is such a great sitter! She truly cared for our dog as if it were her own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Cheyenne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter and will definitely book again.”

“What a wonderful experience! Ruth really goes above and beyond. I couldn't be more pleased. She made sure to ask many questions and wanted to reinforce my pups training as a service dog by using the same words and hands signals I do at home. She kept me updated and sent pictures of him running with her sweet girl doggos and sitting happily at her feet. He was clearly happy and comfortable at her home. He was also asleep before we got home! My heart is so happy to have found this gem. I'm so impressed with Ruth's care that I'm going to book regular daycare visits for my guy to go there and have fun with his new friends even if I don't have any appointments! I honestly can't say enough about her. Totally blessed.”
About: I watch dogs, cats, and exotics! If you have exotics needing boarding please contact me and we can discuss! I’m a veteran that has a HUGE love for animals and I spend most of my time home with my fur babies or out and about with them. I have taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life, including exotics! I grew up raising and educating others on hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rabbits, and more. I still currently raise rabbits and have one pet hedgehog. I do have dogs here of my own but they are all very behaved. None of the boarded fur babies will have close interactions with ours for safety reasons. I grew up around giant dogs so animals of all sizes are amazing to me! I have experience in everything except grooming (I do baths and nails though!). I always have extra dog things from toys, bowls, kennels, food, (etc) to basic first aid supplies to accommodate everyone! I know just how stressful it can be to have a trip planned or run across an emergency and need a quick placement for your fur baby! Every animal is different and whether that means you have a reactive or super shy baby don’t that stop you from sending me a message! Everyone deserves time away for a bit and knowing their babies are well loved for while you’re away 🐾❤️ I have a huge love for animals and I’m always looking forward to helping the communities surrounding me! I just need food supplied as I believe in keeping diet constant. Everything else can totally be on me! Dogs are welcome to any part of the house and all the animal things we have around! I even have kennels of all sizes if needed. I’m willing to give any type of medication as well. I will also watch anxious/high anxiety pets (I understand the struggle!). Always flexible! Our yard is fully fenced! I can provide walks/hikes as needed. Everything is and always stays secure! If you have any questions regarding our home just ask.

I already take walks on my own so having a dog join me would be beneficial as well. I do not have pets of my own so it’s easy for me to give full love and attention to other peoples pets like the pet I never had.
About: I have always loved and had pets. I love them even more now that Im an adult. I have worked in the pet industry for many years and think I have a greater knowledge of care. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish (fresh and salt), birds, reptiles, anphibians, hamsters, and even chickens. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats right now. I have been involved with a local animal rescue. We have help rescue several young dogs as well as a litter of puppies. I have family and friends that I sit for on a regular. Sometime I end up watering the yard and gardens. Fur babies are a huge part of my life everyday. I feel like my pets are important family members. I probably spoil my dogs terribly. I make them there own bday cakes. I also make homemade ice cream. I add veggies to there food. I make sure they have good toys for interacting. I spend a good amount of time interacting scratching, and talking to my regular fur babies. When in someones home I mind my own business. I try to leave no trace I was there. Cleaning up what ever I use. Respect is very important.

About: I was born into a house with 9 dogs. My mother has devoted her life to animal rescue and I have been helping and volunteering since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and would love to look after yours! I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters at different places I’ve lived in the past and I have helped many different personalities of dogs and cats. I currently am working part-time, so I have a lot of time to spend with the babies! My schedule is flexible, so I should be able to accommodate any times or days you would need! I have been around animals my whole life and am good at being intuitive with their needs. If they are snuggle bugs, I’ll snuggle up with them! If they need play or to be left alone, I’ll act accordingly.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing with and getting to know them. I have worked with a couple of friends in high school dog sitting for family friends and relatives and have enjoyed every second I spend with their pets. I recognize and take into consideration the age, physical abilities, and daily habits of the pets I take care of and base my care and activities around those. I am currently living up in Portland working for a state campaign but I will occasionally be traveling down to my other home in Grants Pass for jobs and building projects for my family . I greet every pet I meet with respect, care, and love and will calmly approach any new animal I meet with the intention of building trust with that animal and letting them know I can take care of them and love them and that they can trust me.
About: Experienced in holistic, organic, and raw food diets, special feeding, cooking meals, and administering medications. A gentle approach to make animals feel safe and loved. Available for taking care of chickens and farm animals. I’m working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your fur babies.I love being outside in nature. Nothing better than having a pet to ground with. Safety first, paying close attention to our surroundings on our walks and at home.I hate foxtails and ticks! I will treat your fur baby as part of our family.
About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

“I highly recommend Amy. She listens well and responds to the needs of my pet dog in a kind and supportive manner. She has a great and loving environment. She is gracious with any special needs. My dog Sierra recently finished her Spay procedure and was still recovering when Amy took on her care. She took all the necessary precautions. I am very happy to leave Sierra in the care of Amy just like I would with a good friend. She also took regular photos and provided updates on a daily basis. Your pet will be in good hands with Amy.”
“Garrett and family were fantastic! They treated Chai as their own and sent frequent photos and updates. She got along great with their dog and I could tell she was happy and relaxed for her stay! We will definitely be using them again. Thank you Garrett!”
“Alicia Denise was amazing with our three very energetic labs. She sent photos of them playing and having fun in her yard while we were away which put our minds at ease about leaving them in a new place. When we picked them up they were happy and healthy. She responded immediately to all text messages, even talking to me on the phone to ease my nervousness about how Rover works before we booked (this was our first time using Rover). When I realized that I had entered the wrong time for pick up, she was very accommodating and took care of the change in Rover for me. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”
“Elizabeth was really kind and understanding! Made sure my cats were comfortable, and was very patient and accommodating when I had to book extra days. Thank you so much to you and your family!”
“Amazing family who took excellent care of our 2 dogs!! We didn’t have a single worry while our dogs were with them. EXCELLENT communication during their stay, also. Our pups will DEFINITELY be staying again, they loved it!”
About: Hello! My name is Samantha and I am 26 years old. I joined rover to earn some extra money while spending some time with furry (or non furry) friends. I have volunteered at local shelters and have watched the animals of my family and friends since I was about 10 years old. I treat each and every animal with the love, care, and respect that they deserve. I am very compassionate and take the time to tend to one’s animals as if they were my own. My rates are flexible depending on the animal(s), and the situation. I am able to flex my schedule around your needs! I work full time but I am able to work remotely if needed and can take breaks throughout the day if necessary. I often do not watch animals in my home due to my 5 fur babes. However, depending on the situation, and the animal, a short stay in my home may be an option. Hopefully I can be your next pet or house sitter. I have recommendations upon request. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon!!
“I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are to have found Dorthy to watch our sweet fur baby, Pippy! They took fantastic care of her with updates and photos the entire time. Our sweet girl took a doggy vacation while we were away with nature walks, fun with the other dogs, play time, long naps, and brushing her out. She was one happy girl all weekend long! Thank you so much for loving our girl and playing with her. It brought us a lot of comfort knowing she was having a blast and safe. I am excited for our next trip and more puppy vacations for Pip! This was better than leaving her with our family!”
“Allyse is amazing. I haven't left my dog's before except one time. One of my dog's has anxiety pretty bad. She sent pictures of my pups resting with her on the couch, she didn't have to give his anxiety meds. Either. Just knowing they were in good hands allowed me to have a good time. She is awesome!”
“Julianne and Ragen let Milo into the center of their lives for ten days while I traveled. He got lots of lap time, snuggles, treats, walks, and got to sleep on their bed, which made him comfortable when I couldn't be with him. They noticed a scabby wound and messaged, asking my permission to treat it; it healed well. Daily, I got a report on Milo; many days a pic, too. This was only the second time I was away from him this long. I was privileged to feel he was so safe and loved. It let me enjoy my trip without worry. Julianne and Ragen have had their own small dogs. They knew how to care for Milo and did it well!”
About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.
“Jianna was an amazing sitter! She boarded my dog Carrick and was super understanding of him and his anxiety’s! She took him on many walks and made sure he was safe! She was so understanding and communicative Thank you Jianna and Hope to see you again soon!”
“Cheyenne is such a great sitter! She truly cared for our dog as if it were her own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Cheyenne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter and will definitely book again.”
About: Ever since I was little I’ve helped out with the care of my own family pets and our neighbors and friends as well. I have always LOVED animals and I’ve never found a cat or dog that doesn’t like me. In my past I’ve been in charge of walking and exercising dogs, feeding and watering dogs, and providing an abundance of love! As of now I just graduated college and spent a month abroad in Europe. I am looking for part time work and my schedule is completely open (: I live in an all adult household on 6 acres of land. There are fenced areas where your animal could roam safety, and in the non fenced areas, I’m happy to keep your fur baby on leash and prevent any accidents. I will accommodate to anything your pet needs while they stay with me!

About: Hello! My preferred name is Aspen but I also go by Maia. I am a care provider in all walks of my life. I have a strong nurturing personality and caring for animals and people is something I find very fulfilling. I have worked as a caregiver for 3 years and an animal lover for 20 years. I have had dogs, cat, lizards, and rats that have lived full happy lives in my care. I also work on a farm at the moment where I care for 21 sheep and 32 cows. I take great pride in caring for these animals. I have a great need to feel fulfillment in my everyday life and I feel that taking on the responsibility to provide your animals with such love will be a gift for you and your lifestyle as well as mine. I currently work four days out of the week so that gives me lots of free time for animal boarding and walks on my weekends. I’m an active person who loves to be outside and I take walks everyday. It would be lovely to have some accompaniment on those walks through town and the surrounding areas. I live in a tiny house on an expansive 30 acre farm in Williams OR. I have more than enough space to host an animal over night or for a couple days. I am very present and I always am cautious of what’s happening outside and inside my home. There is enough space for your pup to be in their crate if that’s what you desire. I also am only available to host one dog or cat at a time to ensure I give your animal my undivided attention and make sure I am present for their needs.
