About: Owner of English Lab for 5.5 years and she is my World. Got her at 3 months. Life Changer. She makes everyone around her (me included) feel like the most important person in the World. I also grew up with an American Lab which I cared and loved for, for 13yrs. My family got her when she was just a puppy at a year old (I was 13) and she lived to be 13yrs when she passed (I was 26). She is the reason I started to really love dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society quite a bit over the past 5yrs That has been a very rewarding experience. I currently work Fridays-Mondays in the medical field and have a lot of free time on my days off. I usually take Millie, my Lab, for a 2hr walk in the surrounding neighborhoods and try to get her down to the river once a week to swim. It’s by far her favorite activity and she’s a master swimmer. I live in an apartment with my dog and care for her like a child. Because let’s be honest. She is a child. She gets whatever she needs and so will every dog I care for on a daily basis.
“Christopher is a great dog walker. He is very considerate and always gives us a heads up before coming in the house to get our dog (in case we’re there). He took our dog Aggie on really nice long walks.”

“Kai took great care of my 2 dogs! Took them on a nice long walk, and made sure they had everything they needed. Also, he was able to book on very short notice! Would definitely book another walk with Kai for next time.”

“Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had a dog in my house since the day I was born and have grown up taking care of them. I have puppy trained and helped care for my senior pets. I have dog sat for friends and neighbors and helped walk dogs when needed as well. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for a number of years and have learned how to work with a variety of types of dogs. I work an atypical schedule so I am working Fri-Tues. That means Weds & Thurs I have unlimited availability to spend with your pets! My settings may not reflect that accurately since the site clumps all weekdays together. I am able to take care of pets most hours of the days but afternoons are where I have the most free time! For house sitting I will spend all of my free time at the house and for other services we can discuss times based on my work schedule. I am available after 3pm on Tues & Fri, and after 5 on Sat & Sun with all day availability on Weds & Thurs. In your home I will care for your dogs as instructed and make sure to spend as much time with them as I possibly can. In my home we make sure to pay lots of attention to the dogs and their needs. Whatever the service is that you are requesting I will take the best care of your pets as possible.
About: I have a very anxious dog that I care for daily, which has made me super flexible with different types of pets and their needs. I have a very open schedule and have the ability to pet sit for long periods of time. I am available for both morning and night meal times or just a mid day check in. I am also free to walk dogs throughout the day! I’m very attentive to pet needs making sure water is available at all times as well as providing food when appropriate. I will make sure to keep the environment safe by locking doors, keeping fences closed, and making sure your pet remains safe and happy! I love spending time with animals and would love to get to know your pets.

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
About: I love animals and animals love me, so I’m here to meet as many of them as possible and build lasting friendships. 🥰 A true PNW girl at heart, and proud Oregonian - I’m always excited to get out and enjoy the fresh air, rain or shine! 🌲🌊 I live near the Rose Quarter, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, and a whole lotta love to give all the babies. When I’m not busy loving on Rover clients or my own cool cat, Anubis, I run around on a farm with two 120lb Catahoula Leopard/American Bulldogs! 🐕🚜👩🌾 Please reach out for any and all requests - my goal is to be of service and to help you provide the best care for your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you soon! 💕 P.S.: I have a talent for taking truly great photos. 🤩 I have a mostly open schedule and I’m currently looking to meet & spend time with all the fur babies! I would love to be part of your family’s steady routine in helping to care for your loved ones on a regular basis, and I’m open to consistent recurring visits, day & night sitting, occasional hangouts, or even urgent/short notice drop-in appointments. I will always tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs; their safety, well-being and happiness are my top priority, and as a pet parent myself, I am devoted to providing the highest quality care for your family. I sincerely value the trust placed in me with your babies!
“Our dogs are always super happy to see Sam. He manages them very well especially considering they are very high energy 2-year olds. He’s great at communicating about visits. This day was a very long walk and we love all the happy dog photos we get from the report card. We highly recommend Sam for all your pet needs.”

About: Hi there! I am an Early Childhood Special Educator in Portland looking for some part time work that involves caring for animals, another passion of mine! I have experience with cats and dogs of many temperaments and am familiar with their social, physical, and play needs. As a cat foster parent over the years I have cared for kittens, teenage cats, adults, and seniors. I have also cared for numerous dogs with a variety of needs and I am passionate about the physical and mental wellness of the cats and dogs that I work with. I would love to have the opportunity to meet more feline and canine friends and to be a helper in providing the best care for your pet. Hope to hear from you soon! I work a full-time job and am able to care for animals before work and after on weekdays and full time on weekends. Pets would be alone approximately 8 hours during my work day. I ensure that I get all the information I can from pet owners about their pet’s needs and potential concerns. I follow their recommendations and am respectful of their wishes.
“Courtney has been amazing to work with and my animals adore her. She is timely, professional, communicative and caring - all the things you would want in a pet sitter. i would definitely recommend Courtney!”

“Rebecca is amazing! Our pups (one who is very selective) got along with her right away. She watched our pups while we were away and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. We’ll be sure to book her for many more walks as she took care of our pups special needs and communicated quickly and thoroughly.”

“Rosie’s now a happy dog! My three legged rescue is very leery of people yet took to Chance right away. He is very calm and unassuming, which I feel puts Rosie at ease. She is thrilled to be walked by Chance and waits by the door when I mention his name. I receive updates, photos and many details of each walk. It is comforting that Rosie is getting exercise with someone we both trust.”
