“We have had Nancy watch our dogs on and off for about a year. She comes and stays at our home, takes care of our two big dogs with tender, loving care. She treats our home with loving care as well as our dogs. I highly recommend Nancy for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.

“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

About: I’ve had many dogs over the years since I was little. Friends and family who’ve i’ve helped with their dogs on walks or sitting ! I’m currently seeking long term work in something more enjoyable for me. Would love to help with animals in the mean time and am available! I can easily follow any instructions or steps needed for their pets as well as make sure they have a good time with a companion.

“Veronica was great! We hired her to watch our dogs while we attended a concern. Our dogs took a liking to her right away and she sent us updates when we were at the concert. Thank you Veronica!”

“Roz, you were wonderful with my pups! Thank you for taking such great care of them! I am so grateful to have someone that they loved caring for my guys!”

“Krystal is absolutely amazing! We have a very fragile diabetic pup, that we adore! Because of her insulin needs and blood sugar checks, as well as also having addisons disease (which complicates her blood sugars even more), we haven’t gone on a family vacation since her diagnosis three years ago. She is an amazing dog, but complicated to care for. So, when our family was planning to leave town, we found Krystal on Rover. After seeing her past work history and her comfort with administering injections, we decided to meet her and see how it went. She stopped by and talked with us and met the pups. She took detailed notes about their needs and medications and we knew within minutes Krystal was the perfect person to watch them. Before leaving on vacation, Krystal came over again and re-met the pups, she completed the medications, blood sugar, insulin and feeding routine while we were there to answer any questions she may have. That gave us even more confidence with leaving. Krystal completed the medication routine with ease and the fact that she cares enough to run through the routine with the owners before they leave speaks volumes to the quality of care she provides. When we were on vacation, we kept in touch about my pups blood sugars and insulin needs, she sent daily photos of our crew and when we got home, our house was perfect and our dogs looked amazing. We also have a naughty cat and Krystal was fabulous with her too! I recommend Krystal to anyone that is looking for someone to watch their animals while they’re away. She provides exceptional care and you can tell Krystal cares for them like they’re her own. Also, I personally know how hard it is to leave your animal when they are medically fragile, but Krystal is 100% competent to care for animals with challenging needs!”

About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.

“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Maureen house sat for 5 days and watched my 2 little dogs and they loved her. Maureen kept me updated, sent photos and even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Also, one of my dogs can be anti social with people she doesn't know well. By the 2nd night she was laying next to Maureen on the chair. Maureen is wonderful and will defintely use again.”

“Our skittish rescue dog and cat had a super successful and relaxing weekend with Madisen. I really appreciated her great communication with me and her care for my pets. We came home to a house just as we left it, and our dog was so chill that I could tell she had been well-loved while we were away. I won't hesitate to use Madisen again.”

“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”

“Janeva was awesome and very communicative during our extended trip and really helped us out when we were in a bind. We came home to a very today and clean house and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!”
