“Garrett and Monica were AMAZING with our Koe! They were so interactive with us, keeping our minds at ease for our entire trip and their pup Zeus was such a great play date and we will be using them again!”

“Amy was AMAZING with my baby Blue. She listened to everything i asked her when it came to my baby, she catered to all of mine and Blues needs and definitely gave him the exercises he needed because he was TIRED when mom and dad picked him up. I will definitely be booking with Amy again and you should too! An awesome dog sitter and an even better person. Thank you, Amy!🩷”

“I had never boarded my older dog before and was anxious about the whole situation, but Julianne & Ragen made the whole process start to finish so much more comfortable than I had expected! Being able to communicate before, during and after our vacation really helped me to feel confident that our sweet Kiwi was happy, healthy and well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Julianne & Ragen next time we need a friend for our sweet girl!”

About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to your pet as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian currently works out of the home but will be retiring soon and will then be 100% dedicated to caring for the pets of our clients! We are available for meet and greet, home checks, and drop off/pick up almost any time day or night and will work with you to schedule what is best for you and your pet(s). Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be ooen to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.
“Alicia took such great care of our dog when we were away! He came back looking so happy and well taken care of. Great communication and sends awesome updates as well.”

“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”

“Serena and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 4 month old puppy. She was given lots of attention and walks each day. And the update messages and pictures were a great way of keeping in touch during our first time away from this new member of our family. Thank you for making us feel comfortable with our choice of sitter!”

“Alysse did an excellent job of loving on our dog while we were gone for four nights. It also appears that our dog LOVED having Alyssa’s dog to play with during her time there. If you want your dog to receive a lot of love and enjoy some fellow dog playtime, this is the sitter you want.”

“Aimee and Andrew have a huge fenced yard, a playful Doodle and 2 great kids that made me feel like Jackson was visiting friends, rather than just being boarded. I really appreciated daily updates and cute photos that let me know my Jackson was having a great time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a dog loving family setting for their dog when they travel.”

“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for the past 30 plus years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, made their food, cared for them when sick and loved them. I have a lovely, safe walking neighborhood for dogs, a fenced yard, and everything I would need for a dog to have a cozy stay with me. I currently work 100% remote and have time during the day for walks and playtime. I have dog beds for nap time and toys for them to play with. I also own several leashes. I have a fenced yard that’s very safe. I don’t plan on watching more than one dog at a time. That way I can devote all my time to the one who’s staying with me.
About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe
“Very kind and had kept communicating with me during his entire stay! I can tell he bonded with her and I appreciate her flexibility and understanding when plans needed to change. I will absolutely love her to care for Andrè again!”

“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!”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“Denise & her husband were wonderful with Henry. They gave him lots of love and snuggles, and I could tell when we picked him up that he had been well cared for. Denise will always be our first pick for our boarding needs!”

“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!”

“Our cat was very happy to receive visits from Paige while we were on vacation. She was great with communication, sent us pictures each day, and most importantly, gave Dez the attention and care that he needs. We will be using her again for our next trip!”
“Allie stepped in on a moments notice to help me out with my Copper-dog. She responded to my messages promptly and was punctual. Copper is slow to trust new people, and I always have a bit of anxiety as I invite new folks to help me care for him. Allie was understanding and patient with our process and her gentle, easy-going nature quickly put Copper at ease. I highly recommend Allie to care for your creatures!”

“Kailee is the best. She stayed at our house and took care of our three cat. Two who take a pill twice a day. She sent photos and updates. We had a late flight and Kalie left the lights on for us and collected the mail without us asking. We highly recommend her. She is awesome!”

“Jennifer has been wonderful with Winnie. She walks and plays with her during her drop in times and Winnie gets a break from the crate. I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Alicia was amazing with my cat, Jiji! I was out of town, so my mom dropped her off and picked her up from Alicia’s. It was a hectic time with the holidays, and we ended up having to change both the drop-off and pick-up times at the last minute. Alicia was so gracious in accommodating our last minute changes. She also sent picture updates of Jiji! She came back happy, safe, and sound. Thank you so much, Alicia!”

About: I've had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Growing up in a miniature menagerie taught me responsibility and how to properly care for animals and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Reading animal behavior and connecting with each pet's personality is second nature to me. Whether it's maintaining your pet's familiar routine, providing engaging playtime, or offering companionship, I prioritize making your pets feel secure and loved in your absence. I structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention. Each day, I set aside time for feeding, cleaning up after them, and making sure they have companionship. Weekly, I restock supplies and adjust my schedule as needed to meet their needs. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and personality, letting them set the pace for interactions. When entering a space, I allow the pet to approach me first and get down to their eye level to establish trust. I respect a cat’s independence and let them engage on their terms. When walking dogs, I exercise patience, allowing them to sniff and explore at their own pace, as I’ve learned this helps build trust and confidence. My approach ensures that every pet feels safe, respected, and cared for.

“Kaelin is amazing! She is SO professional and kind! My two rescue pups (mini poodle and terrier) adored her from the moment they met her and my cat Gordito loved her! She has incredible experience working at veterinary offices, and it was obvious from her knowledge and questions. She gave my cat his insulin shot, without any issues! She sent me the most awesome message, letting me know everything she had done, how Gordito was, and sent several pics! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and warm animal sitter!”

“Kristina was wonderful! She kept us apprised of how everyone was doing daily which was great. But most importantly, the cats were happy with her. She was able to medicate those on meds the first day - which for a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats and someone they don’t really know is amazing. We also had to make some last minute changes in our plans (because ice) and she was completely fine with that. We also loved that she had experience with chickens and exotic birds as we may be adding those to our family. We very much hope to work with her again.”

“Garrett was AWESOME! He handled my three Siberian Huskies with ease. His attention to the dogs was top notch (especially monitoring their heat levels during this warmer weather) and his photo updates were adorable and very appreciated. Highly Suggest!”

“Amy accommodated us last minute when we came to Grants Pass and realized the event we were attending didn’t allow dogs. She was flexible and easy to communicate with. Ranger was well cared for and happy. Thank you Amy!!”

“Alicia was so wonderful caring for our puppy while we were visiting the area. Thankful for the care and attention she gave our baby. And the pictures she sent were a great touch.”

“It’s like a summer camp for pups! We were in the area for a rafting trip and couldn’t take her with us. We found Dorothea and Richard who had high ratings. We took a bit of a driving adventure to Rogue City area and found their expansive property at the top of a hill of so many acres where the pups do long hikes, play, and get thoughtful care. We had never left our puppy (8 mo) with someone. She was nervous when we left and we came back to find a relaxed, tired, happy pup who seemed to have the time of her life. We appreciated the videos we got throughout the day and how welcomed we and Sky felt. Professional with paperwork and offer to tour property. Thank you Dorothea!”

“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: Hello! I have taken care of dogs, cats, and various other animals for over 20 years. I have worked with many dogs with teaching basic manners and cues. I love all animals and am happy to help in any way that I can. :) I work full time Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:00pm. My office is less than 1 mile from work so I easily come home for my lunch break to tend to the animals. Outside of work, I am mostly home and prefer to spend time with the animals. I am happy to handwalk dogs, play fetch, and work on training skills if requested. I am flexible with requests :) I work full time Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:00pm and work less than 1 mile from home so easily come home on my lunch break to tend to animals. I also have weekends off so your pup won’t be home alone often. 😊 I have both a smaller and larger fenced area for the dogs to play. I like to take the pups on walks via leash if the owner is comfortable, and turn them out in the yards to run while being supervised. I have a 75lb 3 ur old pup that gets along very well with all other dogs!

About: I have 3 cats, but I care deeply about all animals. My life’s calling is to care for animals which is why I finally decided to proceed with vet tech schooling. My whole life I have taken care of dogs and cats and have loved every moment of it. Caring for my pets is the best and most satisfying part of my day. After working with tech in Geek Squad for 2 and a half years, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do in life. I always knew my calling was to care for animals which is why I am in the process of starting vet tech schooling and looking for a job outside of tech working as a vet assistant. I promise to always provide the best care you could ask for when caring for your pets. If your animals need to come to my house I do have a big fenced in yard that they can play in and I welcome all animals in all rooms of my house and they are allowed to be on furniture. Because of how much I care for animals you will never have to worry about your pet being left alone or missing a meal.

If needed, I can also swing by during my lunch break if it’s not too far out of town :) I currently am not in a home that could provide boarding, however I plan to take on the roles that you provide to your pets to make them feel safe in their home.

“Garrett and Monica were AMAZING with our Koe! They were so interactive with us, keeping our minds at ease for our entire trip and their pup Zeus was such a great play date and we will be using them again!”

“Amy was AMAZING with my baby Blue. She listened to everything i asked her when it came to my baby, she catered to all of mine and Blues needs and definitely gave him the exercises he needed because he was TIRED when mom and dad picked him up. I will definitely be booking with Amy again and you should too! An awesome dog sitter and an even better person. Thank you, Amy!🩷”

“I had never boarded my older dog before and was anxious about the whole situation, but Julianne & Ragen made the whole process start to finish so much more comfortable than I had expected! Being able to communicate before, during and after our vacation really helped me to feel confident that our sweet Kiwi was happy, healthy and well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Julianne & Ragen next time we need a friend for our sweet girl!”

“Alicia took such great care of our dog when we were away! He came back looking so happy and well taken care of. Great communication and sends awesome updates as well.”

“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”

“Alysse did an excellent job of loving on our dog while we were gone for four nights. It also appears that our dog LOVED having Alyssa’s dog to play with during her time there. If you want your dog to receive a lot of love and enjoy some fellow dog playtime, this is the sitter you want.”

“Aimee and Andrew have a huge fenced yard, a playful Doodle and 2 great kids that made me feel like Jackson was visiting friends, rather than just being boarded. I really appreciated daily updates and cute photos that let me know my Jackson was having a great time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a dog loving family setting for their dog when they travel.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for the past 30 plus years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, made their food, cared for them when sick and loved them. I have a lovely, safe walking neighborhood for dogs, a fenced yard, and everything I would need for a dog to have a cozy stay with me. I currently work 100% remote and have time during the day for walks and playtime. I have dog beds for nap time and toys for them to play with. I also own several leashes. I have a fenced yard that’s very safe. I don’t plan on watching more than one dog at a time. That way I can devote all my time to the one who’s staying with me.
About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe
“Very kind and had kept communicating with me during his entire stay! I can tell he bonded with her and I appreciate her flexibility and understanding when plans needed to change. I will absolutely love her to care for Andrè again!”

“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!”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“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!”

About: Hi, I’m Rachael! Owner of 3 dogs with my spouse and we love to take them camping, hiking, and out for adventures. I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, pet sitting for family and friends when they vacationed. I worked as a vet technician for 6 years so I have experience administering medications orally and by injection. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or stopping-in to check on your pet to let them out to potty or to feed them, I’d be happy to take care of your furry loved ones. I’m new to Rover and taking care of pets is what I love and enjoy. I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, giving me plenty of time and availability to take care of your pet too. I’m available for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop-ins. Having 3 dogs at home, I understand how important it is to make sure they feel loved and safe. I will send you daily pictures and let you know how they are doing.

About: I've been a dog and cat owner for over 40 years, as well as some smaller creatures like hamsters! I've reared dogs from puppies, and cats from kittens, and also rescued and adopted multiple adult dogs and cats. I've been part of pet walking and sitting since my teens when helping out extended family, all the way through to more formal positions in the recent past. I truly love all animals and often put their needs over my own, wanting them to have the best care and attention possible. I also have experience with cats with diabetes and kidney problems, dogs with cancer and growth wounds that need care, and other maladies. I work remote from home out in the Applegate valley mountains, so your four-legged family members will be with me and Yoda the French Bulldog all day long. We'll play periodically, have outside time, treat time, the chance for long walks after work, and experience all-day companionship while they have free roam of the house. Yoda is here to keep your fur-kiddos company, and there is a dog door out to the closed in upper deck area with a great view of the yard for everyone, and lots of birds and butterflies to watch. An automatic water fountain provides fresh filtered water all day long. There is also a large yard for us to all explore together, and many hiking trails to go on treks together, or visiting the clean and refreshing Thompson Creek. Yoda is also happy to share his hundreds of toys that are available, from soft, to hard, to chewy or ropey.
“Mattie was and is an excellent choice to help watch over your furry friends. I appreciated the communication and flexibility and quick responses. Thank you so much Mattie for taking care of my pup. He clearly had an excellent time!”
