“Diana was amazing with Winston she knew how nervous I was as this was the first time without my pup since I got him. She sent lots of pictures and kept in communication about him. She made him as comfortable as she possibly could her dogs made him feel a little more adventurous in the yard. I will absolutely rebook in the future! Thank you 😊”
“Denali seemed to have a great time at Tawna and John's, we picked her up and she was tired and happy. She was pretty dirty, but that is to be expected at a farm stay (especially with a long haired dog). They were easy to communicate with.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“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.”
“Our second fantastic experience with Jade! She is amazing in working with our recent rescue dog who normally has significant separation anxiety. Jade clearly cares deeply about our Tobey. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Zuri is absolutely fantastic! My mini schnauzer had a blast and made friends with her dog kids. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely loving. She’s the only dog sitter I will use now! If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Jennifer is amazing! My dog, Koby, has special needs and wants lots of attention. Jennifer truly treated him like her own dog and I’m not sure he wanted to leave! I was really nervous leaving Koby for the week because I’d never left him with anyone other than family. Jennifer set me at ease right away and I got updates and pictures everyday. I’m so happy I found her!”
“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!”
“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Jennifer was excellent at watching my german sheperd dog for a few days while I was out of state! She sent pictures and gave consistent updates on how my dog was doing. My dog, Ellie, had a great time and was right at home!”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
“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.”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.

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 :)
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets in their own homes for friends, family, and neighbors. As a pet owner myself—a Great Dane and a cat—I treat every animal like my own. I have plenty of flexibility and a lot of open availability in my schedule at the moment. I can make most any dates/times work. I’m available weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I offer gentle companionship, plenty of affection, and a calm presence, while also treating your home with care and respect so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Pakuna was wonderful and took great care of our kitties. They don’t have complicated meds but they require special care and she was friendly in our meet and greet, took great notes, followed instructions, and sent great pictures and notes throughout the visit. Highly recommend Pakuna for your pet care.”
“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.”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years around cats of every temperament, from mellow house companions to high-maintenance personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful Manx and shy rescues to a proud flame-point Persian who kept me humble through high school. I understand feline boundaries, body language, and the patience it takes to earn their trust. Whether your cat is social, skittish, or simply set in their ways, I’ll keep them comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Lexi is an amazing pet sitter and house sitter. My guy buster took to her immediately, and she was so carrying in a ton with him. And went over and above to make sure that when I got home, I had a little to do as possible. I would absolutely use her again, and Ashley asked, but she is already busy for the next time I need help. She’s amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Had another great overnight visit with Alyssa. She takes wonderful care of our cat Mocha and leaves our house clean and tidy. We’ll definitely continue to use Alyssa in the future!”
About: I really love getting to know each cat’s personality. Some cats are playful and social, some are shy and independent, and I’m happy to go at their pace. I have my own cat, Mango, so I’m very used to daily cat care like feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and paying attention to little changes in behavior. I’m patient, gentle, and truly enjoy making cats feel safe and comfortable while their people are away.
About: Is your cat cuddly and clingy? Does your cat prefer to have nothing to do with humans? I am happy to be there no matter what! I have lived with and cared for cats my entire life. All "care experience" for dogs in my profile can be applied here as well. I have experience administering medicine, bathing, trimming claws, as well as respecting and understanding boundaries and body language in cats. I have been around many different breeds and temperaments, including (but not limited to): bombay, flamepoint siamese, ragdoll, persian, calico, tortoiseshell, tabbys, maine coones, sphynx.
About: I've worked with all kinds of cats for more than a decade! From Maincoons that will cuddle and jump into the shower with me, to rescues that are skiddish and/or scared. I've worked mostly with training rescue cats that struggle with gaining confidence. My current cat is a rescue and she's the most confident adventure cat I know. I'm comfortable with giving cats baths, brushings, and nail trimmings.

“Stacy was FANTASTIC! So great we rebooked for later this month. Our cat Willie was treated so nicely and she had a kitty of her own that played with Will. It was such a relief he was being well cared for.”
“Emese did a wonderful job caring for our cat Stella while we were away. Communication was prompt and frequent, and we arrived back home to a happy kitty instead of having to put her through any sort of boarding trauma. Emese was happy to go the extra mile for us and we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Amazing experience!!! This was the first time we had ever used Rover or had a dog sitter, so I was a bit worried. Remo is a 4 month old puppy and very mischievous. Zuri sent texts, photos and videos, so I could see what a great time Remo was having at her home. I would definitely book again with Zuri and totally have piece of mind that Remo is in good hands.”
“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!

About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.

“Matt is flexible accommodating, and our pup had a great day and came home happy and tired. We received photos and video updates. Since we have a younger dog with limited exposure to other dogs, he even let us bring him by a couple days before to make sure he got along with everyone.

About: Hi, I’m Kira! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a bit of a knack for making friends with them. 😂 I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, along with birds, chickens, chinchillas, turtles, frogs, fish, and lizards. Basically, if it has four legs, feathers, scales, or a tail, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve cared for one! I currently have an 11-year-old Husky who is my world, and I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk and some exercise, a potty break, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and enjoyable while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. ❤️🐾 Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and give each pet the personalized, one-on-one care they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual — because they all have their own little personalities! When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would expect in my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep safety a priority, and make sure your pets receive the care, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I’m also fully insured, giving you added peace of mind while your pets are in my care. ❤️
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!

“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
About: I am a remote worker with extra time available. I grew up with labs and Shih Tzus as well as cats. I've been dog sitting for the past 8 years and have done volunteer camps at the Willamette Humane Society. I am pretty flexible this summer for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins. I can feed, walk, play with, cuddle, or even bathe your dog! I'm an animal lover and would be fine with other pets at the house, too. Watching and caring for dogs, cats or other pets is something I love to do on its own, aside from it being a "job." This would be a great way to spend my time. I am currently working part time, so will have time most days for drop ins, walks, etc. I am also available some weekends, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. If your pet is friendly, then it could be an option for them to come stay at my house.
About: I am extremely detailed oriented and very observant. I sense when animals need something different and will always tend to their needs first over anything. I can chill with them or play forever and anything in between. I work 5-6 days a week with and average of 6 hours a day. My schedule is pretty set to only working mornings and being off work around 11am to 12:30pm. After that I am free and available! I am more than able to be in your home and you never question that I was there. I leave places cleaner than what I found them and make sure all the boxes were checked that are expected of me.
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.
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets in their own homes for friends, family, and neighbors. As a pet owner myself—a Great Dane and a cat—I treat every animal like my own. I have plenty of flexibility and a lot of open availability in my schedule at the moment. I can make most any dates/times work. I’m available weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I offer gentle companionship, plenty of affection, and a calm presence, while also treating your home with care and respect so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of pets, both my own fur babies and those of loved ones, my whole life! Whether it's walking your puppy during a long work day or making sure that your senior cat gets their medication on time when you're out of town, whether it's playing with your teacup Chihuahua or your giant mastiff mix, I am well versed in pet care and understand that while life may make demands on our time, that our furry friends still deserve uncompromised love and attention. I am currently not working and am currently seeking part time employment, so my schedule is fully open! I can help make sure that your pets get what they need at the times that work best for your routines. I have considerable experience working with and being around cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and care needs!

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.
About: I've been working extensively and training with dogs, cats, and horses for over a decade! I love animals of all sizes. I worked with a professional trainer to train my first dog at age 15. I've carried those skills over to train my current adventure cat, and my friends' cats and dogs. I'm comfortable getting messy whether it's giving baths or hiking in the mud and rain. I'm a student, so I love working with animals in between study time and classes. I also love hiking, hammocking, and backpacking outdoors with friends and my adventure cat, Chicken Nugget 🐅 I'm a big animal lover! I treat everyone's cats and dogs like my own. I can be flexible with scheduling and I'm always attentive to your pet's wants and needs.
“Trevor was great! Edith loved him and he did a great job getting good walks for her. She can be a difficult girl but he became her best friend by the end of their first walk and she would wait for him by the door.”
About: Since 2021 I’ve fostered 2 cats and 2 dogs and have found them each their perfect forever homes. I love animals and love making sure that they’re cared for and taken care of.

I’ll cater my care to any dietary or medical treatments and medications and will ensure that they are properly exercised.

“Denali seemed to have a great time at Tawna and John's, we picked her up and she was tired and happy. She was pretty dirty, but that is to be expected at a farm stay (especially with a long haired dog). They were easy to communicate with.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Our second fantastic experience with Jade! She is amazing in working with our recent rescue dog who normally has significant separation anxiety. Jade clearly cares deeply about our Tobey. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
“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.”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“Daisy had a great stay! She looked happy in all of the update pictures. She handled her medications for me and her special food needs. Daisy was calm and happy on the way home after her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Mickenzie was flexible and easy to work with. She kept me updated on how my dog settled in and even helped me by carrying his crate out to my truck when I picked him up. Skerby seemed very happy hanging out at her house. Thank you, Mickenzie!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Destiny watched our 6 month old lab mix for a whole week while we were traveling. I felt confident leaving him at her place. I didn't worry about him at all. When he came home, he was so sleepy! He had other lab mix puppies to play with the whole time and seems to have had the time of his life at Destiny's place!”
