For anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter, you can’t get any better than Roseann. I drive 2.5 hours out of my way from Salem Oregon every time I need someone to watch my mini Dachshund for a couple of days. She is both reliable and amazing with dogs. Cash just came back from his most recent four day stay as happy as always. Thanks again Roseann!

Our dog, Piper is a rescue pup. She is one year old, timid and still learning to be social. Emmily's tender and patient nature blended well with Piper's skittish tendencies. I plan on asking Emmily to watch Piper again while we are on vacation next month.

Katlyn exceeded all our expectations! I am so grateful we found her on Rover. Leaving on a trip is stressful and worrying about our pets adds to it all. Our dog, Sid, had such a great time that I wasn't sure he would want to leave her house when we arrived home. Katlyn was great at communicating with us; she gave us updates and photos every day. I highly recommend her services!!

About: Our love for animals runs deep. Our pets are our family and bring so much joy to our lives. We will take great care of your animals because we understand the importance of keeping animals happy and safe at all times so their parent can have peace of mind while they are apart. They bring us so much joy that they deserve nothing less than to be spoiled with love! Both my husband and I work from home, so our girl and your pup would be with us the whole time during their visit. He farms our vineyard while I work from home in wine marketing and sales. Our 10 acres are completely fenced. We have an Australian Shepherd who is 3 years old and loves being our watcher girl and frisbee queen. The dogs are with us all the time and have full range of all the comfy spots for resting between plays. Water is available in multiple locations to keep pups hydrated as they live the vineyard life!

Natasha was wonderful! She checked on my barn cats over a 2 week period. There is a camera on our automatic cat feeder. I was watching the cats and suddenly a dog appeared knocking over the feeder. Natasha was able to come the next day, refill the feeder and block the dog from entering our yard. She was also flexible with her schedule when our travel plans changed. I will definitely rebook with Natasha anytime that we are out of town.

About: I've basically been around dogs all my life and I love them dearly. I lived on a farm in Mexico for over 15 years and had my pack of 5 dogs. I enjoy playing and spending time with them, walks and talks :) I have patience for dogs like no other, their needs are my top priority. Every dog is a good dog🖤 I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have all the time in the world to take care and to have a fun time with your pup!! Walks, treats and belly rubs all day🖤 I have a fenced back yard that your pup and my pup can play in, many dog toys and of course the house to roam around in. My house isn't very small but not too big either, but its definitely safe for your pup 100%. I do walks locally, so it's safe and close to home!

Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I do work varying shifts from 10-12 hours 3-4x a week. However, outside of work I will still provide everything they may need! With lots of pets, play time and going outside! I do have a full yard and I moved to a house so i no longer live in an apartment. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.

Mckenzie was great! You can really tells she knows what she's doing. She knows how to pick up on behavior and is well versed in training. I was in town for work staying at a hotel and she was able to accommodate last minute. Highly recommend!
