“Crystal, Joel, and family are the best! Repeat sitter for our two beagles over a couple years now. Photo updates, and communication is excellent, and as always, their patience goes above and beyond for our two (barky) pups! Thanks, you all!”
“Claire went above and beyond taking care of my puppers. She is dog trainer and after just a few days with our dog, she made significant improvements in our dog's behavior! She is truly a professional and any dog would be so lucky to stay with her.”
“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”
“We had a very good experience with Katelyn. Lovely family. A few small and delightful kids. Our beagle, Lucy, got on well with their larger dog. Katelyn is our new go-to provider. Lucy will be with her again this coming weekend.”
“Keith and Megan and family took excellent care of my dog Katy! Their home was very comfortable, despite near-100°temps. She loves going to stay with them. She crashes when she comes home so happy! Thanks again, all!”
“Brittany was amazing. She watched our dog for 11 days while we were away on vacation, and we had the best experience. She did a wonderful job keeping us in the loop and sending photos—the kids looked forward to those pictures every day We felt totally comfortable the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for a really high-quality boarding option, I can't recommend her enough”
“Diane was so amazing and understanding. I would definitely bring Maggie back whenever I am flying out of Eugene :) Thank you for your understanding Diane! so glad we did the meet and greet.”
“Riley had so much fun at Sabrina’s. I boarded him for 3 nights and 4 days. Sabrina sent me photos every day of Riley playing with the other dogs. Although he was happy to see me I think he is depressed that he is not playing with his buddies.”
“Ying has helped me taking care of Panda for more than one year. It is very cozy in Ying’s house. Ying takes Panda out for playing every day, which provides Panda with plenty of exercise and is very good for his health. He can even groom Panda by cutting its hair, giving it a bath, trimming its nails, plucking its ear hair, and expressing its anal glands. He has just moved to this platform, and this is the first order on Rover. Panda super likes to stay with Ying. Every time I tell Panda we're going to Ying's house, he gets very happy and eagerly waits for me to put on his collar.”
“We are so grateful to Amy & Rob for taking such wonderful care of our dog! We felt that they listened to our care instructions and concerns and felt confident throughout our pup's stay. Amy & Rob were attentive, kind, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay - and provided photos of our dog's meds being administered which we appreciated so much. Our dog came back happy and well-cared for, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Tessa is amazing! She took such good care of my puppy Kobe. She shared lots of updates throughout the day, video and photos. Thank you so much for such an amazing job taking care of my baby. I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone who’s looking for someone to take care of their furbabies while they’re away traveling.”
“Excellent job boarding our Great Dane. They were communicative and did a great job anccomidating our senior dog. We will definitely use Dylan for future bookings.”
“My experience booking with Joshua was great! I was in need of a last minute sitter for my dog and Joshua was able to accommodate. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog enjoyed his stay so much! I didn't have to worry if he was in good hands while I was away. He sent updates the entire time too. I would recommend for any pet parent and book again.”
“Journey was an excellent choice for my sweet Lily. Lily is a soulful pup and takes her time to warm up to strangers and seeing her thrive under Journeys care was wonderful too see!”
“Our pup had a lovely stay with Julie. She is very kind and clearly has a huge heart for animals. It gave us a sense of peace to know our dog was well looked after and shown a lot of love. We appreciate the thoughtful picture updates that were sent to us. Peaches appeared content and happy when we arrived to pick her up.”

Her effort made my traveling easier and we'll definitely reach out to her whenever we may need this again.”

About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.
About: I have lived with multiple cats for several years, and I currently live with 4 cats. Although I am not their primary care taker, I handle their care when my roommates are on vacation, and I have taken them to most of their vet appointments.
“Alex is very professional, friendly, and considerate. She did an absolutely amazing job dropping in and taking care of our two kitties (1 adult, 1 kitten) while we were away for a week. She sent lots of photos every day and sent us updates on how social/comfortable each kitty was. She followed all of the directions we left exactly which helped keep our cats in their usually routine. In addition, She was very quick to respond to any messages I sent and overall brought us the peace of mind we needed while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“I was in Eugene from out of town, and needed a place for my elderly dog Duke for about 6 hours while I attended a game at Autzen. Joel and Crystal were great and took care of Duke well!”
“They made everything so easy and super flexible. I've done rover in the last and I really appreciated Joshua's willingness to work with my schedule and his experience with dogs and my dogs needs. She's more shy and can have sensitivities with her space and he made sure to get to know her a bit to keep her happy. Thank you!”
“Denise is so great with Biscuit. Biscuit is always excited and happy when we drop her off. I know she is well cared for. I appreciate the pictures and reports Denise sends us.”
“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”
“Journey is the perfect sitter for our reactive baby. I could immediately tell she has lots of experience and is comfortable with even fearful dogs like ours. The thing about Journey that I am most appreciative of is that she has Fear Free certification. She showed in all her communication with me that she understood Guinness’s needs through his body language and was respectful of his boundaries (however long they lasted, apparently he got pretty cuddly!). I will definitely be bringing Guinness back for boarding, daycare, and probably grooming too. I can’t express how grateful I am to imagine being able to board Guinness and therefore travel again! Thank you, Journey!”
About: I am definitely the person that gravitates towards the fur babies at social gatherings. I experience with my own dogs and cats, AND petsit for friends. I have two dogs and a cat currently. I'm happy to host your dog as long as they're non-aggressive and non marking around other animals. I'm currently working part-time, but have a lot of availability for watching your pets. I will be at work Tuesday from 9-1 and Wednesday evenings. I love hosting friends and family, and your pets are the same! I make sure they understand their surroundings and have the basic needs met, water, food, bathrooms, AND fun.
“Michelly was kind, welcoming, and flexible. Lavinia had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and we will definitely be signing up with Michelly any other time we need a daycare date!”
“Valerie is so kind! So amazing! She was very attentive and sent photos throughout the day to keep me updated. As well as taking care of her just as well as I would if not better! I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“I am so, so glad I found Ruthie! I’m in the process of moving back to Eugene after a long absence, and while house sitting this week, needed someone to watch my dog Everett for a few hours while I ran some errands. It’s been nonstop travel/driving/boxes all summer and was concerned that Ev would be freaked out by yet another change in scenery…but it was instantly clear during the meet and greet that Ruthie’s house, coupled with her training and experience, would make for an excellent home-away-from-home environment. She walked us through her space, asked great questions about Ev’s personality and needs, and left me feeling totally confident that Ev’s visit would go perfectly. And it did— Ev was relaxed and in a great mood when I picked him up, and I got some great pics of his day. I knew he would be in great hands and look forward to bringing him back!”
About: I provide reliable, structured, and genuinely attentive care — not just “watching” your dog, but actively engaging with them to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds and high-energy pups, and I tailor care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether that means long walks, structured play, mental stimulation, or just a calm presence for anxious dogs, I adjust to what helps them feel safest. I have experience reinforcing basic training (sit, stay, and cool tricks), and maintaining routines. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. What sets me apart is communication and consistency — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. If you want picture or messaged every 5 minutes I can do that! I treat every dog like they’re my own, with safety, structure, and affection as my top priorities. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, anytime. My job is also very flexible so I can always give your pet the attention they need at any time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, organized, and pet-safe environment free of hazards, and I closely supervise all pets. I never leave dogs unattended in situations that could put them at risk, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed, use leashes on walks at all times, and remain alert to surroundings for safety. Communication is key — I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, positive experience every time.
“Thanks so much for a wonderful day experience for our 6th month old puppy! We received several photo updates throughout the day. Our pup had a wonderful time with excellent people. Jennifer and Josh are genuinely nice people who love dogs and make it their business to provide excellent care. Peace of mind is a big deal when it comes to a beloved pet and they deliver 110 percent. They have a beautiful property for playing and even took my dog on a walk. My dog came home happy and relaxed. They even sent us a video update! Thank you guys so much!!!”
About: I’m a college student at the university and am in town all summer for my part time job. It’s currently slow season so I’m not getting as many hours. I would love to be outside more and would love to take dogs on some good walks and adventures! I’m also down to just come and check in on your indoor pets and spend sometime with them while you’re away! I’ve been around cats and dogs ever since I was little. My family currently have a cat named Aero (7) that we’ve had since he was 2 weeks old, and two Great Pyrenees, one being our older girl Novi, and the other being our 2 year old puppy Major! They’re both over 100 lbs so I’m comfortable with larger dogs (and shedding!) I also have my own cat that lives with me named Ronnie (7) that I adopted a year ago! I’m currently in a couple online summer classes which is very flexible with my day, and have a part time job at Duck Store events. There’s not a lot of events going on at the university right now so my hours are very minimal at this time. I do live in an apartment but will make up for it with going on many good walks! There is a cat in the apartment however. If going to your home, my whole time there would be just to entertain and take care of the pet and would go off of your needs and wants for them!
“I couldn't ask for a better sitter for my dog Juniper. She felt right at home in Jamie's house and with her family. They gave her lots of attention throughout the day and even took her to hang out with the neighbors' dogs. Jamie sent me updates and lots of pictures throughout the day and that really helped to ease my anxiety while at work. 10/10 would recommend to everyone for dog sitting and I will definitely be bringing Juniper back to Jamie in the future!!!”
“Maple Bacon had the most wonderful stay with Mattea and her pups! I was nervous to leave Maple somewhere new but she sent soo many updates to reassure me. Maple can't wait to stay with her again!”
“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
About: I've been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, that is 50+ years of wagging tails. I know how important consistency is for keeping dogs calm, especially when they're staying somewhere new. My goal is to make their time with me feel as close to "home" as possible. Whether your dog (aka family member) wants snuggles, a cozy nap spot, playtime with my dog, or a little quiet space to themselves, I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I’m home full‑time and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day/night. My home is relaxed, warm, and set up for dogs to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep things safe, clean, and low‑stress, and I follow each dog’s natural rhythm — whether that’s playtime, naps, snuggles, or simply hanging out nearby. I share my home with my young male mix‑breed dog (born 12/6/24), a poodle/wire‑haired terrier mix who’s neutered, well‑behaved, and absolutely loves meeting new dog friends. He’s gentle, social, and always happy to have a buddy around, but I also make sure every visiting dog has space and downtime whenever they want it.
About: I worked in Veterinary medicine as a CVT for 15 years. I’m now in real estate so I have the experience but am able to work from home and spend hours with animals that need special care & medications (whether orally, injectable or topically). I am comfortable with most farm animals as well. My rates are based off of pets that need that extra care/ medications etc. Depending on their needs (or ease of care) my rates can be flexible! Just ask and we can discuss your/your pets needs to figure it out I am available for walks or drop ins most days but for boarding (my house or yours), I am available Wednesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend. Because I can work from home your animals don’t have to be lonely while you’re away! I am active, healthy and smoke free. I love walking dogs, running them at the park, playing chase or tug a war or whatever shenanigans your pet loves. I’ve raised goats, chickens and pigs and have some experience with cows and horses. I have helped with reptiles and birds too.. As having worked in day practice and emergency medicine I have a wide knowledge and experiences with various medical needs, diseases and behaviors. I pay close attention to body language and want to make your time away as stress free and reassured as possible. I am happy to help with house needs during the stay as well such as watering plants, getting the mail, taking out the trash, etc.

“Maddie was super flexible and took my dog, sage on a very long walk. I could tell sage was comfortable with Maddie and she got a lot of energy out on their walk. Maddie arrived on time and was prepared, would book again in the future!”
“Pinch loves his walks/runs with Julia. He’s always excited to see her. Julia is always punctual and has great communication with us. She’s shared some beautiful photos of Pinch. Is accommodating when asked to increase walking time. We are grateful for her! We will continue to have Julia walk Pinch for however long it works for both of us”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.
About: I have had pets my whole life- I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas! I understand that all pets have different needs. I can be there for you when you can't, and will make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I love dogs and other pets too! I currently have 2 cats and want to make all cats my friend (even though they have their own thoughts on this!). I had a Frenchie for 10 amazing years, and grew up with Labs. I have a flexible schedule and am available most times. I can be available for pet routines or drop in visit, morning, mid day or afternoon/evening. I can come to you- in home visits, or dog walking. I am central to Eugene and have a reliable car for visits. I can visit mornings or afternoons.
“Lily absolutely loves her walks with Hayden. It’s been so good for her to get these morning walks to get the zoomies out. As a work from home person, it has really changed my ability to work without distraction. Really grateful for Hayden.”
“Sarah is willing to have patience and work with my dog despite him being protective of our home. I feel at ease each week knowing he is getting a walked and paid attention to during the day. She was also willing to meet up beforehand and go over all of his specific needs. I would recommend. Thank you sarah ! :)”
“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”
“Karina did a great job walking Pongo. She's a natural with dogs. You could tell by how excited Pongo was when she arrived. Karina asked great questions in our initial interview. I was impressed by her thorough preparation and queries as to Pongo's habits and preferences. She'll be great with your pet too!”
About: For ten years, my friends or family have trusted me to take care of their furry (or scaly) friends when they're away. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including elderly, disabled, shy, high energy, and/or rescue dogs and cats. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! This term (Spring 2026), the longest stretch I would have to be away is four hours (on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I am highly flexible with addressing your pet's unique social and exercise needs. I am open to taking them to a dog park, taking them on a hike, or whatever activity they enjoy. No worries if your pup is sensitive to other dogs/ children/ cats- I want them to be as comfortable as possible!
About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 (21 now) however not all the families had pets but, it always made my night when I also got the opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I started focusing on animal care / house sitting more as I got older. I just graduated from the University of Oregon and have a heck of a lot of free time on my schedule! I can make most any times of the day work. Unfortunately I cannot offer care in my home however I am happy to drive to your home most any time of day when help may be needed!
About: While my specialty and preference is cats, I'm happy to provide care for your dog(s) too. I've had dogs in my life previously, and can care for well socialized, good natured dogs who live with cats that I am caring for. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, do poop-scooping duties, give potty breaks, etc. I work minimal, flexible hours from home, so I can likely meet your pet(s) care needs as requested. Can work mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I have cared for indoor only kitties, indoor/outdoor kitties, and for barn or more feral types of kitties. Will meet them where they are, and follow your instructions closely.
About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I have helped take care and sit dogs since I was about 14. I always make sure each pup gets the same love and attention as well as catering to any special care they may need. I will care for every dog as if it was my own. I have fostered a few dogs over the years and have experienced a wide range of different breeds! I am a full time college student as well as working. With the free time I do have I would love to spend some of it with the fur babies! I have a decent amount of leisure time throughout the week and would love nothing more than spending it helping others and taking care of their pups! I will always make sure my full attention is on your pup and make sure to take not of any special care your dog may need. I will always make sure they get lots of attention and play time depending on their needs and will check in regularly with owners to ensure their pup is in good hands!

While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, and even a chinchilla throughout my life, so I’ve truly never known life without being surrounded by animals. I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for them has always come naturally to me, whether they’re my own or belong to family and friends. I have roughly 10+ years of non-professional experience and 3 years of professional experience caring for pets, including pet sitting and working with animals of different personalities and needs. A lot of the photos on my profile are actually with pets I’ve cared for, pet sat, or even strays I’ve come across and helped. I also love the outdoors and hiking, so if your pet enjoys being active or going on little adventures, I’m more than happy to bring them along in a safe and fun way. At the same time, my current pets are total couch potatoes who love to relax and lounge around, so I’m just as comfortable matching that calm, low energy vibe. Whether your pet is playful or prefers to take it easy, I’m attentive and focused on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I currently live with my roommate’s 2 year old cat, so I’m used to daily care and attention. I also will be helping care for a new dog starting later this year, which I’m really excited about. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, whether that’s daily visits, walks, or spending extended time with your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment and keep a clean, calm, and pet safe space. That being said, I’ll be moving into a townhome with more space at the end of August. No matter the space, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a secure and loving environment for every pet I care for.

“Wonderful experience with Alexis. Excellent communication. She took awesome care of Cooper. I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and updates. He was very happy and I never worried about him. Her love of pets is genuine.”

“Brittany was amazing. She watched our dog for 11 days while we were away on vacation, and we had the best experience. She did a wonderful job keeping us in the loop and sending photos—the kids looked forward to those pictures every day We felt totally comfortable the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for a really high-quality boarding option, I can't recommend her enough”
“Riley had so much fun at Sabrina’s. I boarded him for 3 nights and 4 days. Sabrina sent me photos every day of Riley playing with the other dogs. Although he was happy to see me I think he is depressed that he is not playing with his buddies.”
“Ying has helped me taking care of Panda for more than one year. It is very cozy in Ying’s house. Ying takes Panda out for playing every day, which provides Panda with plenty of exercise and is very good for his health. He can even groom Panda by cutting its hair, giving it a bath, trimming its nails, plucking its ear hair, and expressing its anal glands. He has just moved to this platform, and this is the first order on Rover. Panda super likes to stay with Ying. Every time I tell Panda we're going to Ying's house, he gets very happy and eagerly waits for me to put on his collar.”

“Tessa is amazing! She took such good care of my puppy Kobe. She shared lots of updates throughout the day, video and photos. Thank you so much for such an amazing job taking care of my baby.

“My experience booking with Joshua was great! I was in need of a last minute sitter for my dog and Joshua was able to accommodate. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog enjoyed his stay so much! I didn't have to worry if he was in good hands while I was away. He sent updates the entire time too. I would recommend for any pet parent and book again.”
“Journey was an excellent choice for my sweet Lily. Lily is a soulful pup and takes her time to warm up to strangers and seeing her thrive under Journeys care was wonderful too see!”
“Our pup had a lovely stay with Julie. She is very kind and clearly has a huge heart for animals. It gave us a sense of peace to know our dog was well looked after and shown a lot of love.
