House Sitting in Arbor Lodge, Portland, OR

“I was very picky with who I trusted, and Emily did not disappoint! I could tell all of my pets where well cared for while I was gone for a week. And when I came home, the place was even cleaner than I left it.”

“Maggie stayed over at our place to take of our pups and made us feel at ease while we were away, which is HUGE for us. We always worry that our pups won’t get the same level of care and love that we give them, but Maggie definitely did that for them. Our pups are anxious, but she took her time with them and made them feel comfortable and relaxed. We loved seeing photos and videos of them every day and how happy they were with someone other than us! Not only did she care for our pups, but she was also respectful to us and our house. Her communication with us was above and beyond! We would love to have her again, and our pups definitely would too!”

“Jenny did an excellent job watching our furr babies Fern (a pitbull) and Kitty (a kitty)! Jenny spent a lot of quality time with both of them and was very communicative with updates, pictures, and potential concerns. You could tell she really cared about our pets and treated them like they were her own. We had Jenny stay overnight and she took great care of the house and went above an beyond to make sure the house was fully in order for our return. Highly recommend Jenny and will definitely be using her again!”

“Stephanie took great care of my cat. I was unsure how Penny would react to her as she’s kinda scared around new people, but Penny warmed up to her right away. She made sure to send me videos and pics of how she was doing which I really appreciated.”

“Kinsey was great! I needed a last minute dog sitter overnight and couldn't of found a better person. She's communicative, trustworthy and kind to my pup!”

“Brian was terrific. A very caring and kind young man. After having surgery, I needed help with my pets so I saw him in action as he took care of their needs and making my recuperation period bearable. He is a young person who loves animals and my pets loved him.”

“Jamie is fantastic! Great communication before, during, and after taking care of my large breed dog. I felt like my dog was in very good hands the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Sara is brilliant and the kind of sitter you hope to find on a place like Rover. She was communicative, prompt, and accommodating. She stayed in our home for an extended time and kept both it and our cat, safe and well-loved. We are so happy to have someone trustworthy and caring to look after the things most precious to us. Our cat has health issues and Sara handled them well, ensuring medications were given regularly. You won’t regret booking her, but I’ll regret this review when she is too busy watching your pets the next time we need her :)”

“Jaz was incredible! Gave me updates on everything I requested and was 100% responsive to my communications. They understood my stress about my dog who was recently diagnosed with Addison's and were very patient. I was worried I would have to apologize for my dog's constant attempts to get ground food on walks, but Jaz had a lot of experience and was patient with her as well. I hadn't left my baby alone for more than a day since COVID started, and Jaz went above and beyond to put me at ease.”

“Can’t say enough about Nico. He’s simply the best. Extremely responsible, neat and our fur babies love him. He sets a high bar and we will use him again and again.”

“Madison was amazing with our English Bull Dog, Otis. We were out of the country for two weeks and Madison took great care of Otis as well as our home. We truly appreciate her, It was nice to know that both were in good hands. Thank you Madison.”

“Emily is an amazing caretaker! She’s been an excellent communicator from the start and immediately connected w my cat Moo at our intro meeting, which put everyone at ease during her house sit. Emily was super accommodating to MooMoo’s medical, dietary, and general care needs. I felt super comfortable with her looking after my lil bb and staying at my place. So happy to have found her! Highly recommend Emily as a trustworthy and sweet person to work with.”

“Jonathan accepted the job to dog-sit our herd of four with a day’s notice and only meeting us on Zoom. He took over from a different dog-sitter so he got abbreviated instruction from our son. Given the lack of any official going over things or showing him around, he did an amazing job. We have two giant dogs and two medium dogs with special needs. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was left fairly clean — a pleasant surprise. We got a few photos of the dogs cuddling with Jonathan and on walks in which he took them which were not a requirement, but an extra. This thoughtfulness while we we’re mourning was comforting. We would recommend Jonathan and will hire him in future.”

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Leni after she watched Romeo. Leni took excellent care of both my house and Romeo while I was away for a week, with a steady stream of pictures, videos, and updates along the way. Leaving home and the pup can be stressful, but the whole process couldn’t have gone any better. Thanks again and highly recommend to anyone!”

“Very happy with Stefanee’s service watching our small, senior dog. We had to quickly find a pet sitter and Stefanee was fast to respond and meet with us. She managed multiple medications, supplements and specialty food with ease. Her daily updates were detailed and sweet. Upon our return, our dog was relaxed and energetic, he’s usually anxious and exhausted. So we knew he was well attended to and cared for. She even helped with extras around the house like watering plants and moving bins, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much, we plan to book again!”

“I-Hsin was an amazing dog and house sitter. She humored my request to send many photos and she sent me daily walking routes ❤️ when I got home from my trip the house was spotless and I had a very happy dog”

“Mikaela housesat and cared for our dog, cat, and chickens over a long weekend. She followed our instructions, asked thoughtful questions about their care, and sent pictures! We returned to a clean house and happy animals. Would absolutely recommend her and would book her again!”

“Matt was very good during our pet sitting experience. He provided photos and informative updates about our dog and even bought our dog a Christmas gift! He is very kind and patient with our nervous dog and we would certainly request his services again. He left the place same as we left it.”

“Lucy is an exceptional pup caregiver. She is kind, attentive, trustworthy. She always gives our girl the snuggles she craves, and manages all our old lady’s meds and complicated diet. Lucy has done poop pick up, hikes/walks, nail care, feeding and stays with dog sitting.”

“I've had some excellent Rover sitters before, but Benji is in a whole other league! They are so loving and communicative and thoughtful, and really well-attuned to the needs of animals and human companions alike. I highly recommend Benji for anxious and/or neurodivergent pet-lovers in particular--they totally, totally get it! My partner and I think of our kitties as our babies, and travel induces a lot of anxiety for us because we hate the idea of leaving the cats alone. Benji was the perfect antidote to our anxiety; they have a wonderful and reassuring presence, asked all the right questions during our meet-and-greet, and overcommunicated before and throughout our trip to reassure us they were present and reliable (but were also quick to tell us they could scale back on communication if we preferred). We also received lots of fun pics throughout Benji's stay and had the pleasure of viewing our kitties and home through another person's (very generous) eyes! When my partner and I returned home, the house was in better condition than we left it, and Benji even left some fun treasures and personal touches for us to enjoy. Most importantly, our kitties were happy, healthy, and in good spirits. They usually hide for a couple days after a big change, but this time they were back to their old cuddly, demanding routines within 30 seconds. I highly, highly recommend Benji. They are a special person with a big heart, and we feel grateful that we've found such a safe, comfortable companion for the kitties--and made a new human friend in the process. Thank you, Benji!”
