About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs since I was little, I have also taken care of my own since I was a teenager. I have two puppy's one who is a year and 6 months who is my best friend, I also have an 8 month old. I love all animals. I can help train a bit with basics if need be, am very patient and caring. I am able to take on walks, to the park or just hang out if needed. I can also give baths if they need one. I understand all dogs are unique and have different needs and am willing to help. I currently work part time, Tuesday through Friday. So I will have plenty of time to check in on, take on walks/ to parks and just play with your animals. I can also bring my puppy along for other dogs if you would like so they have someone to play with or just learn to be around other dogs! I can either take care of your pet in your home or in mine if needed. I do have a fenced yard and a puppy of my own. Who is friendly with other dogs and can play/ keep your dog company if you would like. I know how crates work and am willing to learn the routine you have for your animal. (Food/crate/sleeping habits).

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 15 years and grew up helping establish and run a local animal rescue on our family’s property. From a young age, I was involved in daily care, intake, and working with dogs of all temperaments before leaving for the military at 19. Today, I share my home with multiple dogs of my own and understand how important structure, supervision, and thoughtful introductions are in a multi-dog environment. I’m currently completing a professional dog training certification, so I bring a behavior-aware, training-informed approach to every stay (though I don’t offer formal training through Rover). I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, and higher-energy personalities. Your dog will have predictable routines, supervised interaction, enrichment, and a calm, well-managed home environment. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m home frequently throughout the day and my schedule allows for consistent supervision, structured exercise, and enrichment. Boarding dogs are integrated thoughtfully into our routine with predictable rest, activity, and downtime. I live on rural property with a securely fenced yard, separate fenced field, and manage a structured multi-dog household. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully and supervised during interactions. I prioritize calm energy, clear boundaries, and safe management at all times. Crating is available if needed for rest, safety, or owner preference. I follow each dog’s routine closely and am comfortable managing large breeds, working breeds, and higher-energy personalities. Your dog’s physical safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities.

About: With over six years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs, cats, and even small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing special care for senior pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to give your pet the love, attention, and comfort they deserve while you're away. As a part-time nursing student and mom of two, I’ve learned how to balance a busy schedule with care and attention to detail. qualities that I also bring to pet care. I work relief shifts as a behavioral health support specialist, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time during the day and weekends to dedicate to animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring is what I do, whether it’s my own kids or someone’s beloved pet, I’m fully committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax! I live in a duplex with a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my space or at a client’s home, I follow their usual routines closely; including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Jessica was great walking our doggo. She was very responsive via text while we were on vacation. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small for 8 years. I have some experience training puppies and adult dogs as well. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, over all take great care of their furry friends for weeks before. I have always had a love for furbabies, I always volunteered at the rescue shelters as much as I could. Im currently enrolled in college, however after class hours and in between I spend all my time taking care of my fur babies at home. I am not currently working which gives me plenty of time to play and care for your loved pups/kitties. I have a big yard and 2 playful pups to keep your furry friends company. I have a couple crates so that if needed they can have down time away from each other to ensure I can prioritize the care given to your loved ones.

“Sarah did a great job giving Lilith her walk and hanging out with her to make she drank her water. Thank you Sarah!”

“Jada was sooooo amazing! Best rover experience I’ve had this far. I was an idiot and forgot to update my address and she ended up traveling to my new address without any difficulty and reassured the entire situation!! Highly highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and treat them like family. I had a sick pup that I took care of for several years, giving her medications 4+ times a day, taking her to vet appointments every other week, and providing tons of love. Your pet will be spoiled by me, guaranteed. 🤍 I currently do not have a pet of my own but often have a family member’s blue heeler at my house. I’m a SAHM to a 1.5 year old daughter who loves animals. I have a fenced in yard with grass to play in and a nice neighborhood to take walks in. I don’t mind pets getting on the furniture (as long as you allow it too) and have a large kennel available, if that is what your pup feels most comfortable sleeping in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes small, medium, and large. I walk, feed, and play with them. I have experience with my own pets too. As a college student, I have a flexible routine that allows me to care for pets during the day. I’m available Monday through Friday in the mornings and afternoons, and all day on Sundays. I’m not available in the evenings during the week or on Saturdays, but I always make the most of the time I do have to give pets the love and attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible whether that includes feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medication. I make sure the pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space

About: I have grown up with all different types of animals like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I am very much an animal lover and I treat all animals with love and respect! I have provided dog sitting services for over 10 years and have cared for dogs with all types of needs. I have experience in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, dogs with high energy, and dogs of all sizes. I wouldn't say I have experience in professional training, but I have some experience in training my own dogs (and cat). I am currently a full-time nursing student with a part time job. My schedule is changing pretty frequently, but I am very organized and good at keeping my schedule updated. I am home most of the week doing classes online, so I do have a lot of extra time for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop ins! I pride myself in creating a safe and loving environment for all animals. I treat all animals with love and respect and I always aim to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. In my own home, I only have one cat, but I aim to make the home as safe and playful as I can for him. I intended to bring the same love to other people's homes.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love to spend time/care for them! I love walking and being outside which is the perfect combo for a happy dog. I am flexible with what your pet needs, and am comfortable with giving oral or IM medications, special needs, and generally any dog. I have experience working as a vet receptionist as well as a vet assistant for both large and small animal. I have spent much of my life with horses, dogs and even some variety of small exotic animals. I am knowledgeable about basic dog body language and training making it easy for me to handle most canines! I live in a dog friendly house with indoor areas for dogs to play, including a VERY large fully fenced back yard. Additionally, I have my own car so I can get to wherever you and your dog need me to be. I also live near amazing parks and dog parks that give me great options for exercise and activity outside of my home. I’m looking forward to providing your pet a home away from home! I am currently in college and working part-time, so would love to spend my time walking dogs. I am very active and love to walk, hike, run, and much more! I have a lot of veterinary experience so medical needs are easy to take care of. Otherwise, I am always able to be present and play with the dogs. I am an avid reader as well, so am happy to just cuddle if that's what the dog wants!

About: Animal care has been a part of my whole life. I've always had a pet, whether they were cats or dogs. No matter the size, age, or breed of the pet, I understand to respect their boundaries and be mindful of their safety. Spoiling and playing with pets is the easiest task on the planet. I'm a part-time college instructor. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can happily take a break from grading to pop in for a pet. I first and foremost will defer to the owner's instructions and requests. For pop in care, I will check basic needs first: food/water/litter box/potty breaks. Then comes socializing or any other request from the owner. Weather permitting, I like to take dogs out for fetch, chase, tug-a-war, or casual walks. What we do is sometimes determined by the breed of dog. For cats, I understand that play is up to them. I'm happy to engage in any way they prefer. My own cat is a fiend for a string.

About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general.  I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade.
