“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”

“Our small dog, Bijou recently spent her first overnight with Jamie and Nicole. They were very welcoming to Bijou and us. They took excellent care of her.

We feel totally comfortable leaving Bijou with Jamie, and will be taking her back for a longer stay soon.”

While away in Costa Rica, Jean’s timely photos, videos, and texts assured us that our beloved Toby was well taken care of. Honoring her promise to keep in touch daily, we were able to see him playing, eating, and sleeping. This heightened our confidence that he was happy and content!

You will not regret your decision. This I promise. Della & John”

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking.

“Jennifer and Jon were great. Short notice didn’t phase them and our dog had a good time. We had a meet and greet and brief play date, to start with, which helped with the transition. Thanks again”

“Emma is the best sitter! Not only did she take great care of my cat, but she also kept me updated on her health issues and how she was doing afterward.

“Lucinda was such a help over Christmas! I ended up with one of my two cats needing pilled twice a day and ointment in his eye twice a day — he can be evasive and squirmy, too. Lucinda made sure he got his doses :) My house was clean and trash was even taken out when I got home!”
“I had to leave for a few days for a work trip, and I was extremely anxious about leaving my little-old-man of a cat home alone. I wanted somebody who I felt was reliable to check in on him and to be available in case of an emergency. Anna was very friendly, helpful, and attentive to my pet's needs. She did a great job and gave me some much needed peace of mind for my trip.”

“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Kathy did a fantastic job watching our cat, Lilly. She gave descriptive check-in notes which were very comforting while we were away. Lilly normally gets quite lonely while we are gone and she seemed very content when we returned!”

“Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.”

“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”

She genuinely loves dogs, which is a necessary quality in ANY dog sitter. She knew I was nervous about leaving him, so she sent pics to let me know he was okay. Tigger looked so happy playing with his compadres. Savannah has been very flexible & understanding with me too, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely continue to use her & would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: After our first poodle passed away in my family, we got Milo, a beautiful happy standard poodle who everyone loves. My mother had passed away, so I had to learn how to take care of a puppy with my dad at the ripe age of 12! Definitely hard, and i definitely learned a lot. I’ve walked many dogs, babysat, and simply enjoy the energy these animals encompass. Please reach out if you need someone, i’ve been told many times that i have a comforting energy and unless there is an issue unrelated to me, I’ve never had an animal dislike me. I’m new to Rover so it’s been tough finding new clients but I promise if you hire me I won’t let you down. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and I’d love to form relationships with new clients and maintain a happy relationship with their pups. :) I work 4 days a week at Trader Joe’s also! When he was with me, I’d typically I take milo out 2-3 times a day. Our walks typically last 15-45 minutes and I let him sniff at (almost!) whatever he wants. I have a lot of patience, so I don’t mind. I shower him and any dog in my care with lots of love and cuddles. However, I also can tell right away if certain ones like to be left alone.
“Dottie was AWESOME! She completely loved on my dog while she was there and my dog didn’t want to leave. She walked my dog during her daycare and sent me pictures. She had an inside and outside set up so it’s perfect for all weathers. What I really liked was how thorough she was on meet and greet. She wanted my dog’s information, which made me feel so much safer about sending my dog there. If she had availability every day I would use her”
“Paris was AMAZING with my foster dog and Sweetie had so much fun playing her personal dog:) she was super flexible with timing and I really appreciated her willingness to care of Sweetie who can be a bit shy at first and has separation anxiety.”

“Danielle handled our two dogs with great care and we would absolutely trust her with our pups again! She was responsive, kind, and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back.”
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Andi is SO GREAT. She walked Ellie again several times this week and it’s been a breeze. She is really knowledgeable about dog psychology and different breeds, has a calm assertive energy and a common sense approach which I appreciate so much. I’ll be booking her services again and would definitely recommend her to others. Andi is just a very pleasant person and I’m so happy we found her! Thank you Andi!!”
About: Am I a dog person or cat person? Can't choose, I've grown up around both! In fact, throw in bunnies and reptiles too: you name it, I've trained it. I bring a gentle energy to each and every pet, because just like people, they all have different and unique personalities. I'm currently a college student trying to fill time during the summer. My schedule is beyond free, so PLEASE I would be more than happy to take care of your pet. Routines are essential for pets, and I recognize that! I'm experienced in following all different types of quirky directions, so let me know exactly how your pets like it.
“Alyson has been walking my little blind weenie for about a month now. My little girl loves her and is always so excited for her walk. Alyson is so sweet and gentle with her. Alyson communicates well and is prompt. I would highly recommend her!”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”

Come home potty him sometimes take time to train and walk him and play. I snuggle with my cat and he falls asleep right away in my lap after doing his biscuits. When ever our dogs are in the yard I even though we have a fence make sure they are safe and have gone to the bathroom. Talking and playing with the dogs to make sure they know I am a safe person.
