“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”
“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“Our dog Prim had a great time visiting Jade's again! Jade offers just the right combination of spacious environment, doggie friends to play with, and relaxed and flexible bedtime arrangements. Prim is able to make herself right at home here. Jade is also always very responsive and attentive, and we appreciate the regular updates and photos throughout her stay - thanks again Jade!”
“Diana took wonderful care of Reggie and was thoughtful enough to send regular photos and video to let me know how things were going. Reggie had a good time and I had peace of mind know he was well cared for!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Philly was responsive and put me at ease for our first time using Rover. He communicated well and sent pics of Roscoe during our time away. I appreciate that he is the only dog while being boarded and he isn’t left alone much. We will book with Philly again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia was wonderful and communicative the entire time she had Stella! She would provide pictures and videos which made me really happy and less sad being away from her. Stella came back to us today all tuckered out, I’m so glad we chose Natalia to take care of our girl! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Jennifer is amazing! I feel so fortunate to have found her. She will treat your dog like royalty and love them like they are her own. My pup always comes back so happy!”
“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”
“Tienne did great with my dog, Sydney. She was really easy to work with and was very flexible and understanding. She is a Vet Tech which made me much more comfortable should any issues arise. I will definitely use Tienne in the future.”
“Christina was fantastic! We're from CA and have 2 border collies that we needed to have someone babysit for 2 nights while we were in the area. Luckily we happened to see her listing. This was the first time they've ever spent time somewhere else. Her updates and pics definitely set my husband at ease. We highly recommend her!”
“Riley was great and my fur baby had a great time playing with her pups. She sent me pictures and updates on how my fur baby was doing. If I end up back in the area and needing dog care again I will be contacting her.”

“Pakuna did a great job taking care of my 4 cats, each with their own individual idiosyncrasies, personalities and abilities to get along with one another. She also gave medications to one of the cats on schedule and with no issues. She quickly learned how to manage them (provided treats were well used) and made sure they were happy and healthy. The photos she provided after each of her visits helped me see that they were being well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to request her again to take care of my cat crew.”
“Loved Clairissa! I was worried leaving my cats for the weekend since it was a first for me but Clairissa put my mind at easy. She communicated daily with me and sent pictures putting my mind at easy and my fur babies loved her. Would absolutely use her again”
“Austen just finished 6 days of drop-in visits for our two outdoor cats… fresh food and water daily. He is extremely reliable and our cats adore him. He takes the time to give each one lots of attention and pets AND takes amazing photos. Great caretaker!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I could not be more thrilled. Kayla was amazing. She took such good care of my fur babies, as well as my home while I was gone. She treated my babies as if they were her own. Kayla has a repeat customer with me.”
“Melody took excellent care of my dogs. She gave them lots of love and walks and made sure my older dog got her daily medicine. She even took out my trash cans which I really appreciate. I highly recommend her and will absolutely hire her again!”
“Megan did a fine job sitting our Bengal cat. She showed up early and gave Sidd extra time. She played with Sidd to stimulate her appetite and break her loneliness while we were gone. Megan followed our instructions and we returned to a healthy, happy kitty.”
“Erin was absolutely wonderful. She was professional, communicative and kind. She was so patient with shy kitty and won her over with her gentleness. I appreciate her so much and would not hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was little, but what really kicked off my interest in dogs was joining my town’s canine 4-H club. I learned valuable skills here on reading the body language of dogs. Currently, I am fostering this interest by beginning to volunteer as a dog walker with Marion County Dog Services. I also have plenty experience with cats, as I’ve had two of my own for the past nine years. I am currently working from home on my own schedule, so I am very flexible and open to any opportunity to get to see your pet! I have two pampered cats of my own who are loved beyond belief. Getting to love an animal is so special, and I know how hard it is to leave them. I will ensure that they are treated to the same care and attention that I would expect for my own. I’ll make it a top-priority to stick to the schedule they know so they can be as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to communicate with you on how they’re doing so that you can rest easy!
“Alyssa is amazing. She is compassionate, communicative, and all around an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our cats. We will be repeat customers! Highly recommend her services!”
“McKenna was great to work with. We had a meet and greet and it went great. Our cats walked up to her and were very comfortable. One of our cats, Sonya, is very shy and with a couple of visits McKenna had her doing flips in the air with the feather on a string toy and sitting next to her. In case you are wondering how I know I have a cat cam in the front room. The next time we need a cat setter McKenna will be on the top of our list.”
“Very sweet and accommodating of my cat. Julia makes sure my shy cat is open to playing or interacting and not forcing anything. She is always communicative before, during, and after visits. Would highly recommend to my friends and family.”
“My cat absolutely adores Ricky, and he does an exceptional job caring for her. He’s learned her preferences and he always spends the full time with her, playing and/or snuggling. Of course he takes care of her food, water, & safety needs, but I primarily wanted someone to come be a buddy for her and Ricky exemplifies that. Plus he always sends multiple pictures which I always love seeing when I’m away. I’m so grateful for him.”
“Astrid has a special gift of knowing what your critters are up to, what makes them happy, and how to meet them where they are. You’ll see when Astrid hits it off with your pets.”
“Malie was amazing with our siberian husky! She was great with communication and reached out with each drop in. Our husky has a lot of personality, and several medications. Malie made it simple, and took great care of her! Malie was great at respecting Koda's cues, playing when she wanted to play, but also giving Koda space when she wanted it. We will be booking again with Malie very soon.”
About: I grew up surrounded by kittens and cats! My grandma and mom were crazy cat ladies lol. I have a Siamese cat named Mochi! I rescued him as a kitten. He was found in a trash can covered in fleas, worms, and could barely keep his eyes open from excessive mucus. I spent every 5 minutes cleaning his eyes, treated his fleas/worms, showed him love, and trained him. He’s now an indoor kitty and he will be loved for the rest of his life! He’s my little cuddle buddy💛 I’m a very empathetic, responsible, and active person! I’m available to play and always down for some cuddles from some fur babies :)
“Jamie is an absolute gem! She sent many photos and updates throughout my time away. Mango can be a bit difficult to medicate at times and she had no issues. Great communication, timely. I would absolutely book with Jamie again.”

“As a first time user of Rover and never having left our pets with anyone other than family, naturally, I was very apprehensive about leaving Henry and Zira with complete strangers. Philly immediately put my mind at ease with the first video conference - he was very reassuring and understanding. During their stay with Philly we received regular updates on how the two were doing including pictures. When we picked them up they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. I will most definitely remember Philly and Rover the next time we need someone to watch these two again. Thank you so much.”
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”
“Natalia is the right choice for a pet sitter. I’m so glad I found her. She did amazing with my dog. She’s friendly, professional, and reliable. Plus, she takes amazing photos! My dog came home each day happier than ever and was always excited to see her again. I could tell he was taken care of well. She also has a very clean house! I highly recommend Natalia.”
“Loki loved spending time with Riley. Riley was excellent to work with, very communicative about all aspects of care and scheduling. We will definitely book with Riley again in the future”
About: Hi! I have experience with all different types of animals. I have a 7 year old terrier mix that gets along with other dogs. I used to foster and took care of all types of dogs. I’m a nurse so I have experience with giving meds. When I go to work, my boyfriend is at home and your pet will not be alone. I work 3 days a week but my boyfriend works from home and is home all of the time. We can take your dog to the park and go on walks at least twice a day. We have a two bedroom house with plenty of space inside. We have a small outdoor space for your dog to sniff but we will go on daily walks with your dog.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet’s usual routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the love and care they deserve! I currently have a relatively flexible schedule, however there are some limitations to my availability; walks are weather dependent and I will not provide them in stormy conditions, I am not available for walks after 5pm, and I am actively looking for full time work, so my schedule could change at any time. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure doors, gates, food, water, and any medications are handled carefully. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m an educator who has always had a deep love and respect for nature and all living creatures. As a professional in education, patience, responsibility, structured care, and high attentiveness are built into everything I do. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have had a dog since I was 3 years old—she was my best friend and was by my side until she passed away at the age of 19. When I lived in Turkey, I had two dogs, and I brought both of my sweet girls with me when I moved to the USA. Sadly, they have both crossed the rainbow bridge and are now our little angels. ❤️ Today, our family includes two little dogs and one sweet cat. I have been caring for pets since elementary school and have always shared a special connection with them. Back in Turkey, I actively helped many people adopt dogs, including helping the school where I worked adopt a campus pet. I truly believe animals are family, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved is second nature to me. Why Choose Us for Your Pet? Constant Care & Attention: My husband works from home, and I work from home most of the time as well. This means there is almost always someone around to give your pets endless love, companionship, and attention. Professional Responsibility & Safety: With my educational background, strict adherence to feeding/walk routines, safety protocols, and individualized care come naturally to me. A Loving Home Away from Home: A friend encouraged us to try Rover, and we jumped at the opportunity simply because my husband and I both love animals so much. We treat every guest like our own family in a calm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Peace of Mind: You will receive prompt responses, clear communication, and frequent photo/video updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and thriving. We can’t wait to welcome your sweet pet into our home! 🐶🐱✨ My husband works from home, and I work outside the home for a maximum of three half-days a week. The rest of the time, I’m home. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. For example, I recently cared for a large-breed puppy who wasn’t used to playing with small dogs. To make sure everyone was comfortable and safe, I divided my home into separate areas so he could have his own space while my dogs had theirs. I also moved my workspace next to his area so I could spend more time with him throughout the day. Since he had a lot of puppy energy, I took him on walks more frequently than I normally would to help him get his energy out and keep him happy and relaxed. My goal is always to understand each pet individually and create a routine where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I am an certified veterinary technician and love doing dog AND cat sitting on the side! As well as exotics and farm animals, such as reptiles, rabbits and chickens!

About this sitter: It's tough to find the right person who has the same love for your dog as you do and has the personality that's understanding and the comforting experience in the veterinary field. All any dog lover could ask for. Right here~! As for a personal reference about me, I am 35 years young and have 15 years of animal care experience.

“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”
“Another great experience with Destiny and her family! We booked last minute for day care and Destiny was flexible and understanding. And most importantly, she takes great care of our dog. So glad we found her and I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there and thank you for taking the time to view my profile! If you're looking for a place where your dog will be treated like a member of the family while you're away, you've come to the right spot. Since the day I was born, I have been surrounded by all sorts of breeds (herding, working, hounds, toys, sporting)…you name it. There isn't a breed or size I don't adore. This has taught me that every dog is uniquely special and I truly love them all. After I recently lost my sweet and wonderful 16.5 year old Blue Heeler, Sooky, I have so much love to share and I'd be thrilled to give it to your fur baby! Whether your dog enjoys running around in my fully fenced yard or snuggling up by the fire when it's cold, they'll get cozy and comfortable care while they are with me. I'm experienced with dogs at all life stages, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I can also handle things like giving medication or if you're working on commands/hand signals (I trained Sooky by hand signals only…no words) at home, I am more than happy to keep up that consistency while they're here! As a stay at home mom, I'm usually home all day so I can provide lots of company, attention, and affection! Treats are free with your permission! The only times I have to leave are for quick school runs for my kiddos, who are 3 and 6. My kids have been surrounded by dogs since they were born so they love dogs but they also understand some dogs need space and time to acclimate. With that said, if your pup is coming to visit, I kindly ask that they should be okay with kids and other dogs. Thanks for taking the time to read, please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur love. I am 100% invested in creating a positive experience for both your pup and you. I look forward to having your pup steal my heart. P.S. Just something deeply personal to me. I take huge pride in my natural connection with dogs, I have heard countless times over the years "they never warm up to people that fast!” so know they will be in a loving environment. P.S.S. Please know I am happy to give you photo/video updates so you have complete peace of mind. As a stay at home mom, I have a lot of flexibility. This means I can really focus on what your dog needs each day and tailor it to them. If you have an energetic pup who needs frequent potty breaks and active fun, I’m here for it! If you have a wise senior who just wants a quiet spot to snooze with periodic belly rubs or back scratches, I’m here for that too. Besides taking my kids to and from school in the morning and afternoon, I'm usually home. This means your dog won't be left alone for long hours. Whether your dog likes morning fun, lazy afternoon naps or a cozy evening wind down, I'll make sure your pup has a wonderful time with me. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities for every guest pup. I want them to have a "home away from home". My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play under my constant supervision. Inside, they’re welcome to roam freely, play with toys or snuggle up where they please. To keep the environment safe and happy for all, I will make sure every pup is friendly with children and comfortable playing alongside other dogs. I will be sure to supervise all interactions and treat your dog with the same care I’d give my own. You’ll receive photo/video check-ins during the day so you can see just how safe, happy, and settled your fur baby is!
“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!”
About: I've worked in child care for families and a company and I apply the skills acquired from there to here. I understand that your dog is a part of your family and deserves a similar manner of patience, love, and communication that a good child care provider gives. These necessities are what I consider when caring for my own dog. As much as I adore the familiarity of dogs, especially puppies, I'd be more than happy to care for other pets. I'm a runner and I believe in staying active to maintain health-- providing the body allows it! If you would like for your dog to exercise too, I'm very willing to include them in on runs. I have a lot of energy for playtime, exercise, mindful care and would like to offer my services. Hope to hear from you. :) Best Wishes My schedule changes often but I'm usually free on weekends and holidays as of now! I am taking part time classes on M,W,F but am home often. I have a park across the street where I walk my dog and get out the zoomies. The furniture is okay for pets unless they get messy after a walk or play.
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”

“Danielle took such close notes on our meet and greet that I felt really confident that she'd care for Bean flawlessly. She's punctual, respectful, and clearly loves Bean”
“Melody was awesome! She helped out super last minute walking Dawson and was able to do so with just instruction via text. With a rotating schedule, finding a flexible dog walker is a huge help to our family. I would absolutely book her again!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout my life and have personally adopted 6 dogs, 5 rats, 1 cat, and even a chinchilla—each one bringing joy and unforgettable memories. Currently, I share my home with my sweet pup, Xena. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have strong knowledge of dog training, behavior, and wellness, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs or special quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or structured care, your dog will be in loving, capable hands with me. I currently work full time but I live very close to my work so I am home at lunch time to check on things and give a potty break. I have no long commute or traffic to worry about. On the weekends, I stay in the area or take pups out for hikes! Boarding: To introduce, your pup will have an entire room gated off with a baby gate to acclimate to the new environment. Then, your pup will be welcomed to explore the home.
“I had Austen walk Aspen for just about the whole 13 weeks I’ve been in town for work! He communicated well and even took the time out of his weekends if I wasn’t able to find someone! His pictures and summaries of the walk are always well described. It was almost like I was on the walk too!”
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kira was absolutely AMAZING! She walked my two dogs, Simon and Sophie, for five consecutive days, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Kira was warm, loving, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with both of them. Simon and Sophie absolutely fell in love with her, and it was clear that the feeling was mutual! ❤️🐾 There is something incredibly comforting about knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who treats them with the same love and care that you do. Kira went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the attention, affection, and kindness she showed my two little loves. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly loves animals, Kira is your person! Simon, Sophie, and I give her five stars and a million tail wags! We can’t wait to have her back! 🐶💕”
“Thank you, Erin! Amazing job with walking my pup. Always on time. Very effective communication, with me and my dog. Made me feel very comfortable with pick ups and drop offs. Flexible if we had to use a different pick up method. My dog tested Erin and Erin did great to keep my dog focused. She played with her and used our commands. Absolutely would book again. Amazing. Thank you!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 1 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 6:30am to 2:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.
About: I have had 4 dogs and 7 cats throughout my life and have held a special connection with each of them! I have been taking care of pets since I was very young and have experience walking dogs and taking care of cats, both my pets and other peoples pets! It fits easily and naturally into my weekly schedule! I am a student at Willamette University but while on summer break, I have a lot of free time outside of my part-time job. I find caring for animals enjoyable and natural and easily apart of my daily routine for my own pets. I will ensure the pets I am caring for are comfortable with me and are excited to go on walks or interact with me!
“Ricky is a great dog walker and visitor! His love and enthusiasm for our dogs is appreciated. He is very communicative and reliable. Ricky is responsible for visiting and feeding our smaller Chihuahua mix dog, but also for walking our bulldog mix dog - he excels at both. After his visits, he sends the cutest videos and pictures. It is a relief to have him caring for our dogs while we are away.”
About: Multiple years of pet experience. Grew up in a home with two veterinarians and worked in a veterinary hospital throughout college. Hopefully never needed, but I have access to emergency veterinary care if it was ever needed. I am currently working full time, however my schedule allows me to be home for the majority of the day. My husband is currently working from home remotely to assist me in pet care services when I am at the office in the evenings. I live in a quite neighborhood with a fenced back yard. I have two friendly dogs that have engaged with a variety of breeds and sizes. Both pets are spayed and crate trained. Open to pet sitting from my home, dropping by yours, or just going out for some exercise.
“Kayla was fantastic with walking our dog Blue! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and Blue instantly bones with her! She is very friendly and even took cute photos and sent them to me during their walking adventure. I would highly recommend her services for anyone needing pet services. We will definitely use her again! ❤️”
About: Although I’ve mostly sat for family and friends, I know I can take great care of any animal and make them feel loved and safe. As a pet owner, I tend to my animals before myself. They are with me throughout the day, and I am constantly at their aid. For your pets, I will put just the same amount of effort and time into them. I will base my personal schedule around the bookings I make on this app, including if I find work elsewhere. No matter what, I will make time for the animals I am taking care of. I tend to each animal based on their individual needs and personality. I also do my best to give them my undivided attention whenever I am with them. In a clients home, I strictly follow instructions to optimize the care I provide.
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: While I don't have a dog of my own at this time (due to both of my cats being absolutely terrified of them), I grew up with them and absolutely love and adore them. Every time I go to the Saturday Market I make it a point to pet and love on (with permission) as many dogs as I can. Whenever I visit friends or family with dogs, I'm most likely to be found on the floor next to them to ensure I get the most snuggle time as the dog is comfortable with. I've taken care of animals, including my own, for my whole life. I have my own medically complex cats that I take care of daily who each have their own medication and food plans, along with frequently watching my roommates cats when they are out for work. I've pet-sat for a friend for a number of years before I moving out of that area, which included both cat and dog care. I have loads of experience orally medicating cats and keeping track of difficult food plans. I've walked numerous dogs over the years and love getting to pet and interact with them. I left my job in April of 2026 and Rover is the first thing I have explored since then. While I have ongoing obligations on Wednesday and Friday evenings, the timing is flexible. I have lots of time to ensure fulfilling visits with your pets, making sure I can give them everything they need while I am there. I like to chat with folk about their animals ahead of time and learn some of their needs and habits. If they are shy - where do they prefer to hide and how best can I help make them comfortable with my presence. If they are abundantly friendly - how can I best spend my time giving them the right kind of care and affection to meet their needs (I have a cat who was wants to be next to/touching a human at nearly all times - having someone drop in for 20 minutes for food and some affection would NOT be enough for her). Every animal is unique, and our care should reflect that. I also make sure to clean/tidy up the area while I'm there and try to leave it just as clean, if not more, than it was when I got there.
“Our dogs love Megan, and she has been very accommodating, agreeing to meet several times with us present so our nervous guy Goose could get to know her. She took them for their first walk without us today and he did great with her.”

About: Hi! I have experience with all different types of animals. I have a 7 year old terrier mix that gets along with other dogs. I used to foster and took care of all types of dogs. I’m a nurse so I have experience with giving meds. When I go to work, my boyfriend is at home and your pet will not be alone. I work 3 days a week but my boyfriend works from home and is home all of the time. We can take your dog to the park and go on walks at least twice a day. We have a two bedroom house with plenty of space inside. We have a small outdoor space for your dog to sniff but we will go on daily walks with your dog.

“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
“Our dog Prim had a great time visiting Jade's again! Jade offers just the right combination of spacious environment, doggie friends to play with, and relaxed and flexible bedtime arrangements. Prim is able to make herself right at home here. Jade is also always very responsive and attentive, and we appreciate the regular updates and photos throughout her stay - thanks again Jade!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Philly was responsive and put me at ease for our first time using Rover. He communicated well and sent pics of Roscoe during our time away. I appreciate that he is the only dog while being boarded and he isn’t left alone much. We will book with Philly again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia was wonderful and communicative the entire time she had Stella! She would provide pictures and videos which made me really happy and less sad being away from her. Stella came back to us today all tuckered out, I’m so glad we chose Natalia to take care of our girl! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”
“Tienne did great with my dog, Sydney. She was really easy to work with and was very flexible and understanding. She is a Vet Tech which made me much more comfortable should any issues arise. I will definitely use Tienne in the future.”
“Christina was fantastic! We're from CA and have 2 border collies that we needed to have someone babysit for 2 nights while we were in the area. Luckily we happened to see her listing. This was the first time they've ever spent time somewhere else. Her updates and pics definitely set my husband at ease. We highly recommend her!”
“Riley was great and my fur baby had a great time playing with her pups. She sent me pictures and updates on how my fur baby was doing. If I end up back in the area and needing dog care again I will be contacting her.”

“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
