“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
“Archer had a great time at Elisa's! She sent over many pictures of him having fun and being part of the family. He especially loved playing with her kids! We could tell Archer felt at home with them, and we rae so grateful that Elisa helped us out with a last minute request. Thank you so much for taking care of our Archer!”
“Riley was awesome! Communication was great and she made me feel comfortable about leaving Jack. I would definitely recommend. I appreciated the updates and photos since Jack and I are rarely apart. I plan to book her again.”
“Third time with Jenna and cannot say enough good things about her. I’ve used Rover a lot in a bunch of other locations too and she is by far the best sitter we’ve found. Lots of pics everyday and updates. Great easy drop off location.”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“This is the nicest, BEST place for our doggies! Donna is professional and kind. We can tell she enjoys being with dogs. Our dogs had a wonderful time. Excellent place. Lots of outdoor space, too, for the doggies to run and have fun socializing with other doggies. We received wonderful video clips so we knew our dogs were having a great stay with Donna.”
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
“Although I did not drop our dog, Doug off or pick him up, my husband was very pleased with the care of our dog! Thank you, Alicia and Kyle for your time and we hope to see you soon!”
“Savanah was such an amazing sitter to work with! We don’t have many people to rely on to help watch our dog & we are so happy to have found Savanah. She sent us daily updates and took Luna on walks/hikes around town. We will absolutely reach out again!”
“I can't say enough good things! Our 14 week old puppy had a wonderful time and really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. I received lots of photos and videos every day! Our pup came back after 3 days better at following sit and stay commands and even randomly knowing how to play fetch! She also came back tired and happy! If I lived closer I'd bring my pup here for daily doggy daycare. Thanks for taking care of my little love.”
“Renee and Richard have been wonderful! I needed a sitter last minute and even requested to extend the time. They were so accommodating and wonderful with Zoe! They sent several pics of their daily activities! I highly recommend them!”

“My dog Mabel stayed with Lyndsie while I was out of the country for 12 days. I could tell Mabel had a great time during her stay as I got lots of pictures and updates. She has a nice back yard and their dog Murphy was a wonderful play mate. My dog came home tired and happy! I would recommend Lyndsie and use her services again!”
“Shelby was an amazing sitter for Koda and Jade over the 4th of July weekend! She took great care of both of them, kept me updated, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pets, and it was clear they were in great hands the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Shelby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Dinah! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past five years, my bond with my two dogs, Polly and Moose, has grown especially strong. Polly is an Akbash/Anatolian Shepherd, and Moose is an Aussiedoodle. We love going on daily adventures together and typically get out for 3–4 walks a day. They’re both friendly, easygoing, and happy to meet and play with other dogs, as long as your pup is comfortable with that. I’ve worked in healthcare for nine years and currently work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m excited to extend my passion for animals by helping care for yours: whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away or bringing your dog along on our fun, active outings. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same attention and affection I give my own! I currently work part-time as a registered nurse so I have lots of time on my hands, including weekdays and weekends, to watch and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and multiple parks around my neighborhood to take your pups on adventures. My two dogs are friendly and always excited to have a friend visit. I ensure your dogs are cared for just as I care for my fur babies!

I work around your schedule and pet’s routine. I provide a walk in morning (and evening if you would like)! I can give feedings as much as your pup requires during the day, along with medications. I have a fenced in yard and always monitor when my pups go outside to play! I pick up poop daily to make sure their environment is clean.

“Our kitty was very well taken care of while we were gone for 4 days. We could relax and not worry about her. I looked forward to Jordana’s daily reports plus pictures. We will be requesting her services again!”
About: Cats are my true love. (Don’t tell the dogs). I have had cats growing up, as well as taken care of friends and family’s fur baby’s many many times. I have my own cat, he’s part maincoon, his name is Miso. He’s leash trained and happy as can be.

About: I don't have a lot of cat care experience but what I have done has been pretty easy. I think the biggest thing I've learned is that each cat is very different. When I'm around I love to give them pets and attention but not all cats want that, so I tend to let them come to me. As long as I take fare of food, water, litter, they seem to be pretty happy ?. One thing that might set me apart from other cat sitters would be that I will give them all the attention they want when I'm around. They want to sit on my lap while I eat dinner? Fine. They need to be on the bed when I'm going to sleep? All good. They want to be pet while I'm rushing out to work? I can be a little late......
“I have 4 dogs and one cat. It is such a relief to find someone to care for my pets. We had Ariana drop-in daily to check on our cat when we were away for a week. My cat is usually very shy with strangers and I warned her she may hide the first few visits. But by the daily pictures Ariana texted it was obvious that she warmed up to her immediately. During our pre-care visit, Ariana dropped by our home and met my 4 dogs. She was able to manage their boisterous greeting with the talent of a dog whisperer. As we transition to spending more time in Central Oregon it is reassuring to find someone that can manage the challenges of Nordic breeds and trust we can count on her if we need help with their care.”

“Cassandra was a delight to have stay at our home and care for our kitties. All of our instructions were followed and she left house near and tidy. Daily pictures of kitties were much appreciated.”
About: I have been dogsitting and dog walking for over 10 years, with experience from puppies, to mature senior dogs. My dog recently passed away, at the ripe old age of 12, so I am accustomed to accommodating elderly dog's needs. I love to run and hike, and having a dog come along is the best part of those activities! I am recent graduate with my MSW from Boise State and I am spending my summer in Central Oregon as I transition into a career job! I will be working part time (occasionally full time) at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp department, and would love to take your dog on outdoor adventures with me! I have my own vehicle that is well suited to transporting dogs to parks and trail networks. I can’t take dogs at my house, but would be happy to provide drop in visits and longer outings throughout the week. I will be working at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp program, usually about 20-35 hours per week, so I might have some flexibility in my schedule. Currently I cannot care for pets at my home during this summer. I have my own vehicle and can visit homes to care for dogs in the central Oregon area.
About: I have worked at stables, vet clinics and volunteered with rescues. I'm a "human" Nurse, but my skill set transfers easily to animals. Care, patience and tons of love. I am capable of administering medications, and skilled at special needs for dogs. I work M-Th 6-4. I am available for overnight stays, primarily on weekends! Overnights on weekdays are for animals that can be home alone during my work hours. I have lots of energy to engage and play! I do need to be able to leave periodically to check on my doggo at my own home and go out to eat, so no separation anxiety pets please. I have an escape artist dog at home. My senses are keen. I am always aware and would be the same for your pet/pets at your home. A watchful eye!
About: Hey, I'm Riley! I grew up in Bend, OR my whole life. I moved to Texas in 2019, and just moved back in the middle of 2025. I ran a dog sitting business in Texas and had the pleasure of watching over 200 dogs during my time there (in and outside of Rover). Watching dogs has brought so much joy into my life, and I’ve built strong relationships with both the pets and their owners - I've never had a single client with a bad experience. Aside from dog watching, I’m a local insurance agent with the flexibility of being able to work remote whenever I want to. If needed, I’ll never leave your pups alone unless it’s for a quick grocery run or needed errand. My guarantee: - I never board dogs from different owners at the same time. - While leashed, no dog will ever get away from me, no matter the size. I am bigger than 99% of people and will always remain in control. - Your dog will remember me if we meet again! I spend lots of time loving on these dogs😁 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m available on call 24/7! Since I’m not required to be in the office at all times, my schedule is super flexible with being able to do this. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will always give TONS of attention and affection! I give walks & potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Even more often for puppies.
“Christy was such a wonderful caretaker of our kitten! While we felt uncomfortable needing to board a young kitty, Christy was a tremendous relief and comfort while we were away. We received several videos a day, thorough information about how our kitty was doing and even helped us learn some new behaviors and interests our kitty was exhibiting. Sometimes I thought my wife was spending too much time messaging with Christy and not focusing on the trip (lol!), but Christy was more than generous with her time and was very patient throughout. Before our trip, Christy made herself available to meet us and our kitty at the park and it really helped ease our pre-travel anxiety! Once we returned for pickup, Christy packed all of our kitty’s things (which was a ton, sorry, Christy!) and sent her home with some toys that out kitty enjoyed playing with! Would we book Christy again? Already am later next month and you should too! Thank you again for everything, Christy!”
“Jessica has been a fantastic pet sitter. She came everyday to care for my cat, even during a heavy snow storm. She sent multiple pictures of my can that comforted me during my long stay away from home knowing he was doing well. She was very communicative and I had full confidence that my cat was well cared for.”

“Riley made this experience so easy and pleasant. She took care of my Zeke the same way I do, and updated me throughout. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services in the future!”
“Jeff & Roxanne took the best care of our pup! They were kind, excellent communicators & flexible as our plans evolved over the weekend. Our pup came home happy and tired. This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous to leave our pup for the first time but they are what makes Rover a wonderful resource. Don’t hesitate to book with Jeff & Roxanne- they’re the best!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kathryn. She went above and beyond for us and our pup. Not only did she accept our (very) last minute request, she also took our pup on with three other dogs at her home. I would recommend Kathryn to anyone and everyone!! THANK YOU!”
About: We love animals! We have a big yard, but we’re usually home with our pets. Our kids (5 & 9) love to play with and help care for them, while still being adaptable to less friendly dogs who want space. I am generally home during the day, and extremely flexible to accommodate various schedules for drop-in visits or in-home care. The pets we watch at home often feel like a part of our family! We have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and a quiet neighborhood for walks. Our senior dog isn’t high energy, and easy to get along with.
“Star had the most amazing time!! When we returned for another day she was so excited when she realized where we were! I am so happy with the care she received and look forward to more fun filled days!!”
“Crystal was so incredible with our pup! I could tell she cared kindly to her dogs she was watching and was attentive to specific needs. She also was very responsive and communicative. Very thankful for her care for our fur baby!”
About: I have 10+ years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up living with dogs my whole life and I now own a cat. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their furry friends. Since I work from home I have the flexibility to provide your furry friend with the best care! I am available all week days and some weekends. I am available for dog walking where I come to your home to pick up your pet, available for house sitting at my home and available for drop ins during the day.
“Corrie and Brandon were great with Kona. Kona got along well with their dog Bo. Bo is such a sweet, loving, mellow dog. Kona tried being the Alpha and Bo didn’t get in her face. Corrie did a great job monitoring their behavior and intervened with Kona if she overstepped the boundaries, which I appreciated. I felt Kona’s care was excellent, loved the pics Corrie sent us and let me know at the end of her stay how often Kona peed and drank water. To me, that was very helpful. I didn’t have to wonder. Kona has never been around cats, and they lovingly and carefully introduced their cat to Kona. It was nice seeing the pics of that, precious and priceless. I will be using Corrie to watch Kona in the future when we need local care. I highly recommend her. She was kind, loving, caring, and treated Kona like she would treat her own dog, Bo, as part of their family. Their home and yard is set up nicely to accommodate a safe experience for your beloved pet.”
“Donna agreed to take on our 2 large Great Pyrenees cross dogs that can be a bit of a challenge. They are still young and haven't been well socialized so, we knew this wouldn't be a job for just anyone! From the very beginning, Donna has been extremely responsive and so patient with our babies. She clearly has a great understanding of dog behavior and the ability to adjust quickly as needed. Her yard is like a dog paradise with so much room to run and play! We highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!!!”
“Stanley thought he was in heaven - two cute pup pals to play with, a welcoming home and beautiful yard, and a great 2 1/2 mile walk besides! He was happily exhausted when he came home. Huge thanks to Eric and the sweet Goldens who provided such a happy day for our boy!”

“Darla is the nicest person and will care for your animals as if they are her own. I am so lucky to have found them to help out with my girls as I just get settled with work here in town. Your pets are in great hands with Darla and her family.”

About: I have experienced many many years of raising our Berners. From puppy-hood to senior care. Trained them to hike (off leash), paddleboard and worked as a school therapy dog. Needless to say, my dog-ownership resume comes with a long list of experiences. I am retired from 30 years in the aviation industry, as a flight attendant. Raising a family, always a dog or two included. I currently work part-time, while enjoying the natural wonders of the Cascade mountains. Caring for others pet family members easily fits into my daily life. We live in a lovely small town, and a nice development. Taking walks on nature trails, dipping our paws in the river or creek, while taking in the views of the Cascade mountains. I own a sprinter van, adventures with my dogs (and yours) clearly is comfortable for all.

About: I’ve lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs my entire life! Have a high energy and chaotic fur baby? It’s a good thing I love walks and playing! Got a more relaxed and calm dog? We can go to the park and read a nice book together! I am a recently graduated college student waiting to start my Masters program so my days are vastly open! I would love to fill my days with your animals and helping out where I can! I am attentive to all animals and carefully read all care instructions left by owners. I am also very careful with the weather conditions as animals are more susceptible to heat and cold then we are!
About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew upon a farm and currently have a 130 lb. Newfoundland, so I'm very comfortable handling large breeds as well as small dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with respect. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medications, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide clear communication and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. Since my daughter is sometimes with her dad I am also available for overnight house sitting. I plan my day around your pet's routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat your home and pets with respect and care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines you provide. I am comfortable with large and giant breeds, and I prioritize safety, secure doors, and clear communication. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I've always had a huge heart for animals and taking care of things in general. I've taken care of my own animals since I was 8 or 9 years old and did 4H for 4 years. Family and friends always had me as there pet sitter because not only was I attentive and took good care of their animals, but I absolutely loved doing it! I'm up for any challenge and any type of animal and I promise to take excellent care of them. I have a couple cats of my own and am very close with my moms dogs who live next door! I am currently in school but taking online classes so I can take my schoolwork wherever I go! I am looking for a part-time job but don’t have one at the moment so I am very flexible with my time. I live in a small house by myself. It is part of a duplex that I share with my mom. She is aware that I will be watching peoples pets on the premises and we both own our own pets, so we are very aware of the risks such as pet hair and accidents. We share a fenced back yard that is pretty large. It is about a quarter of an acre. I have one cat and she is very friendly with other animals. I used to live on a farm with her so she is used to other furry friends.
“We booked Corrie for a dog walk last minute and I must say, she was very friendly, professional, courteous and accommodating. She was sure to send photos of her visit with our dog and let us know how her walk went. She was also very patient in letting our dog warm up to her as our dog can be leery of strangers at first. We’ll definitely use her again in the future ?”
About: We have both been around and owned dogs since we were kids. I worked in a vet clinic from the time I was 14 all throughout high school. I also worked with a dog groomer for a few summers. I am an Animal Behavior College certified Dog Trainer as well as a wildlife biologist. Let's just say I love animals!! We are cat lovers too and would be more than happy to care for them also! We would provide the same level care for your pets as you do. We like to treat them like a member of our family and hope that they enjoy their time with us so much that they hardly know you are away. We know it is an honor and a privilege to be trusted with caring for your fury family member and we take that seriously and strive to never disappoint. I currently work from home for my main career as a Spatial Data Analyst (wildlife related). Your pet would have someone around aside from the occasional trip to the store or other errand. I will always communicate openly about my schedule during your visit so you are aware of any times I may have to be out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard and a 4-year-old Great Dane to keep your dog company! Thus, for stays in my home your dog must be dog-friendly, non-aggressive, and not afraid of large breeds. I also have four cats. I do have a doggie gate that keeps the cats separated, but one of them can jump the gate as she likes to sit on top of the kitchen cupboards and observe. Aaron and I have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They both have been around dogs their entire lives and are very used to respecting their space and letting dogs warm up to them. With that said, they are still kids. So for stays in our home, your dog will have to be good with other dogs, young kids, and cats. For stays in your home, your dog ideally will be okay with kids but my kids don't always need to come with depending on the dates of the stay.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I have nearly a year of full-time experience working in a doggy daycare environment. During this time, I developed a strong ability to read canine body language and communication, manage group dynamics, and respond appropriately to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I strive to keep educating my self so I can continuously improve my skills in taking care of animals. I am able to create my own schedule. I would be able to accommodate your pet or pet’s, with routine walks, breaks and check in. I take care of any animal as if they were my own. My priority is to make all animals and humans involved comfortable. My clients homes are treated with respect and I always pick up after my self. I genuinely love being around animals and spending time with them. I strive to gain and maintain trust with my clients and their fur babies.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I love animals of all kinds and offer exercise, love, treats, and snuggles. Your pup will be safe and having fun with me. I have always had dogs growing up, and currently have two adventurous girls (3.5 & 8). I’m available in the evenings and on and off during the day as I work from home, and love to go on adventures with my pup so yours would fit right in too! Hiking, walking, playing fetch, and swimming are fun activities that I like to take my dog on. I am strict, but always reward with treats and love when your dog is being good. I have a every dog friendly environment and would love to spend time with your pet. I especially love running, and would love to make sure your pup gets enough exercise! I have a dog door as well so pups can always go in and outside into our fenced yard if needed. I work from home and my job is super flexible, so it’s really easy to just pop out for a walk or play at the park. I love to take my dogs out in our yard and throw the ball for them. We also have a dog door so they can go in and out freely into our fenced front and back yard. Always with understanding and caution - every pup is different so I want to do what to takes to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe!
“Alex was so patient and kind with our dog Littles. This was Littles' first time going walking with a pet sitter and he tried to guard the house and scare her off. However Alex was kind enough to come again that very evening while we were home to spend some time with him so that he could get to know her better. And even though he was nervous again the next time she came, she spent time with him, giving him treats, and finally got him to warm up enough so they could take a walk. And of course Littles enjoyed the walk! I will definitely use Alex again when we are in town and need a pet sitter.”

About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.
“Alicia is the best! My boy loved her and she was very in tune with his needs. Her experience was valuable for me to learn from. He was so happy after his walk to have a special friend :)”
About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.
About: I’ve had pets and family pets I’m always ready and willing to give them what they need. My baby loves animals too. It will be fun! I feel like they are the same as humans. I made a lil human! So I can manage my son loves dogs too. Just happy to get out more. I don’t have any pets anymore mine got old. I make sure they are feed and tuckered out before bed. Getting as much attention as they need.

“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
“Archer had a great time at Elisa's! She sent over many pictures of him having fun and being part of the family. He especially loved playing with her kids! We could tell Archer felt at home with them, and we rae so grateful that Elisa helped us out with a last minute request. Thank you so much for taking care of our Archer!”

“This is the nicest, BEST place for our doggies! Donna is professional and kind. We can tell she enjoys being with dogs. Our dogs had a wonderful time. Excellent place. Lots of outdoor space, too, for the doggies to run and have fun socializing with other doggies. We received wonderful video clips so we knew our dogs were having a great stay with Donna.”
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
“Although I did not drop our dog, Doug off or pick him up, my husband was very pleased with the care of our dog! Thank you, Alicia and Kyle for your time and we hope to see you soon!”
“Savanah was such an amazing sitter to work with! We don’t have many people to rely on to help watch our dog & we are so happy to have found Savanah. She sent us daily updates and took Luna on walks/hikes around town. We will absolutely reach out again!”
“I can't say enough good things! Our 14 week old puppy had a wonderful time and really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. I received lots of photos and videos every day! Our pup came back after 3 days better at following sit and stay commands and even randomly knowing how to play fetch! She also came back tired and happy! If I lived closer I'd bring my pup here for daily doggy daycare. Thanks for taking care of my little love.”
“Renee and Richard have been wonderful! I needed a sitter last minute and even requested to extend the time. They were so accommodating and wonderful with Zoe! They sent several pics of their daily activities! I highly recommend them!”
“My dog Mabel stayed with Lyndsie while I was out of the country for 12 days. I could tell Mabel had a great time during her stay as I got lots of pictures and updates. She has a nice back yard and their dog Murphy was a wonderful play mate. My dog came home tired and happy! I would recommend Lyndsie and use her services again!”
“Shelby was an amazing sitter for Koda and Jade over the 4th of July weekend! She took great care of both of them, kept me updated, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pets, and it was clear they were in great hands the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Shelby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Dinah! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past five years, my bond with my two dogs, Polly and Moose, has grown especially strong. Polly is an Akbash/Anatolian Shepherd, and Moose is an Aussiedoodle. We love going on daily adventures together and typically get out for 3–4 walks a day. They’re both friendly, easygoing, and happy to meet and play with other dogs, as long as your pup is comfortable with that. I’ve worked in healthcare for nine years and currently work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m excited to extend my passion for animals by helping care for yours: whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away or bringing your dog along on our fun, active outings. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same attention and affection I give my own! I currently work part-time as a registered nurse so I have lots of time on my hands, including weekdays and weekends, to watch and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and multiple parks around my neighborhood to take your pups on adventures. My two dogs are friendly and always excited to have a friend visit. I ensure your dogs are cared for just as I care for my fur babies!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years with experience with all types of breeds, age, and specific care needs! I provide detailed updates every couple hours to ensure you can rest assured knowing your babies are having fun with you are on your vacation! I can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I work around your schedule and pet’s routine. I provide a walk in morning (and evening if you would like)! I can give feedings as much as your pup requires during the day, along with medications. I have a fenced in yard and always monitor when my pups go outside to play! I pick up poop daily to make sure their environment is clean.
“This was Hope's first time with Eliza since our usual dogsitter was unavailable. It was a great experience. Eliza was responsive & communicative. She even sent a couple pictures. Hope seemed happy when I picked her up. Eliza was very friendly & accommodating. We will certainly use her again.”
“Mackenzie was SO easy to work with and I know my pup Aurora was well taken care of due to updates and photos sent my way during her stay! She seems so happy, so thankful for Mackenzie! We will be using her services again!”
About: I have experienced many many years of raising our Berners. From puppy-hood to senior care. Trained them to hike (off leash), paddleboard and worked as a school therapy dog. Needless to say, my dog-ownership resume comes with a long list of experiences. I am retired from 30 years in the aviation industry, as a flight attendant. Raising a family, always a dog or two included. I currently work part-time, while enjoying the natural wonders of the Cascade mountains. Caring for others pet family members easily fits into my daily life. We live in a lovely small town, and a nice development. Taking walks on nature trails, dipping our paws in the river or creek, while taking in the views of the Cascade mountains. I own a sprinter van, adventures with my dogs (and yours) clearly is comfortable for all.
About: I have taken care of dogs for around five years. I will make sure your dog is well loved and cared for. I will take them on lots of walks, and like I said, give them lots of love. I’m currently in school working towards my x-ray degree. I have class Monday, Wednesday at five and Thursdays I’m unavailable all day. Any other time I’m completely available to give your dog lots of love and all the walks that they need. As of right now, I’m living in an apartment with lots of grass, but no fenced backyard. But I will take them on lots and lots of walks.
