“My dog Lucy loved Jade. She came over 3-4 times a week, walked, and hung out with Lucy. Jade was great and Lucy looked forward to seeing her. I would still be using Jade if I didn’t move, but would use her again if I go back. Cannot say enough good things about Jade and how great she was with my dog.”

About: Beyond the care of my own pets, I also regularly house, dog, cat, and chicken-sit for family friends and neighbors. I've spent my whole life around animals and have nurtured and cared for a variety of pets, including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and fish. I graduated in June of this year, so I have more day-time availability this summer, however I do work a part-time job. My shifts at my job are 4 to 10 hours, 3 to 4 days a week, and Fridays and Tuesdays tend to be my most available days. I am open to any rules or directions you have for your pet. I have a deep respect for all animals and will love and care for them. As a pet-caregiver myself, I understand the bond between you and your pet and the protecting feeling that comes with it. I will do all I can to make sure you feel your pet is in good hands.

“This was our first time with Rover.. it has been a great experience! The meet and greet with Allison was super helpful and gave us peace of mind. She sent pics and updates, which was very reassuring while we were away. We came home to a happy cat, which was great! Thank you!”

Kathy R.

“Claire was wonderful! She took great care of my dogs during drop-in visits and gave special attention to my older dog as she was recovering from a surgery. Highly recommend her for drop-in care needs!”

Jessica M.

“Anna came for a meet and greet with me and Sunny. Everything went well. Anna stopped by a few days later to take my 8 month old goldendoodle outside for a potty break and to feed him dinner while I was at work. Anna was punctual, professional and provided me with awesome pictures of Sunny and an update text message of her visit. 10/10 recommend.”

Janesa M.

“This is the first time I have used Avery for the sitting of my two cats Ozzy and Luke. Avery came into my life at a time where I had Medical concerns that needed by full attention and to know that my boys were taken care of twice a day and with the utmost care meant everything to me. She even did little tasks around the house that kept my home running when I was not there to oversee it. In my mind she went above and beyond. You cannot go wrong with choosing Avery and she is very conscientious caring and responsible! I have ended up moving away and may not see much of her going forward but I think we will be staying close friends now and into the future! She's that kind of person! Thank you Avery!”

Amy H.

Phil J.

“Nicole was AMAZING! She was very responsive and took care of my animals as if they were her own. I highly recommend her and will be booking her again in the future!”

Lea L.

“Kept me updated and sent pictures. My dog loved her too!”

“Cassidy thanks for taking good care of Archie. I am glad I was able to use your services for the second time and will definitely use in the future. I appreciate your communication and updates of my little guy. So helpful to know that he is left is good hands. Thanks again!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. I know there are a lot of people on this site, who fluff their profiles and just do this for extra money. But, my life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a deep understanding of dog psychology and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining calm and assertive when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the east Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates and dog run fencing in our fenced backyard. Open to small dogs for boarding and daycare.

“Mark is a friendly guy, prompt with his responses, and lives conveniently close by. And of course, my dogs enjoy when we schedule him drop in visits!”
