“Amanda is amazing! She took great care of our pups and sent the cutest pics. She left our house spotless and I just can’t thank her enough for the affection and extra attention she gave our 2 boys. We would definitely use her again and again. Thank you so much, Amanda!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)

“Tony is very diligent and did a great job looking after the dogs. He always responded quickly to communication. And he left the house spotless.”

About: I've always looked out for my friends and families pets as if they were my own. They truly are mans best friend, and I hope to have the opportunity to become friends with many more! I work full-time as a software developer but on my spare time I like to go out on walks and live a fun and healthy life. I hope to share this very energetic and creative energy with the pups I have the opportunity to take care of and spend time with! I try to look out for a dogs needs, making sure they're both comfortable, appropriately fed, and attend to them in an appropriate and timely fashion.

“This was our first time using Rover or having someone we didn’t know staying at our home and caring for our girl. It was also the longest we have been apart from Piper (a week). One might say it was the perfect storm for pup parental anxiety. Cue Ashley. Ashley came over for an initial “meet and greet” visit and asked lots of questions (and even took notes) about Piper’s habits, the commands we use, etc. While we were away, she sent daily updates, pictures, and even a few video clips. She asked questions if she needed clarification on something. She even went out to grab a few essentials we ran out of while we were away. When we came home, it was to a happy pup. Ashley had been here all week but the house was tidy and she had even washed her own bed sheets! For a first experience with Rover, we couldn’t be happier. We give Ashley four thumbs and two paws up. 👍👍👍👍🐾”

“Sonia took great care of my Winnie and Mickey. She had great communication and sent me lots of pictures and videos of my pup. It was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy my birthday plans knowing that my fuzzy boys were safe and in good hands. Thank you!”

About: I grew up with a giant chocolate lab & a beagle as my childhood dogs & I LOVED them, family of mine had a smalller mini pincher so I also know how smaller dogs can be compared to large dogs. While iI am at university I do have 3 dogs at home 2 rescues & 1 black lab they are my girls! I am a full time student at the local university but i am looking to fit in time with animals not only to enhance my knowledge of their behaviors & just general knowledge it’d also an easy way for me to learn the area & make money! I have administered shot & pill medications to both cats & dogs in the past, love to be active but also chill around & snuggle & LOOOOVE to make healthy bowls/snacks for animals!

“Sydney stayed with my girls this week. They were well cared for. The main reason I chose her was because she was able to focus all her attention on my little spoiled Maltese. I returned to happy and healthy dogs. I would most definitely recommend Sydney to anybody who has pets especially pets that are used to having a lot of care and time spent with them.”

About: If begging my parents for a dog since birth counts, I’ve been a dog lover for 50+ years. In terms of actual pet ownership, I’ve owned and loved my cats and dogs for the past 25+ years. In addition to having my own fur family, I’ve also happily sat or walked my friends and families. I’m heading into retirement and will have oodles of time to keep your pets company while you’re at work or taking a fabulous vacation. I’m available for house sitting at any time. And currently available for dog walking Friday though Monday. In a few months, my dog walking schedule will free up to 3-4 days during the week. Having raised animals and kids, I know routines help everyone feel confident and safe. I respect whatever you know your animals need. As an example, if you need me to take them on long walks, cuddle on the couch, or bring them for a fetch and swim in the lake, I got you covered.

“Sam was responsive and flexible and kept us informed of how our pets were doing while we were away. Our dog is very wary of strangers and Sam was able to gradually earn his trust over the long weekend.”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for families in Portland on and off for the past two years, along with caring for dogs in my own family. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and care. I’m attentive, loving, and gentle, with a strong ability to read dogs’ cues and recognize what they need to feel comfortable and happy. I understand that younger dogs may need plenty of activity and playtime, while older dogs often benefit from a calm, patient sitter who moves at their pace and provides a warm, reassuring presence. Every pet and family has their own routines, preferences, and expectations. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and caring for your dog the way you would, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I work remotely from 9–5 Monday through Friday, so I’m available every evening and on weekends for pet care. Since I work from home, I’m also happy to provide longer daytime stays or overnight care, as long as I’m able to work from your home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication for every pet in my care. Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, exercise preferences, and any potential concerns. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets so I can respond quickly if anything seems unusual. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away!

About: I grew up on a farm, so I've had experience with a variety of animals, especially dogs! My family has always had at least one dog, all with varying sizes. I've endured it all from the ankle biters, the sweetest pitbulls and border collies, to the greatest of the danes. I'm currently a college student, so my evenings and weekends are free! Being stuck in a classroom gives me the fuel I need to go on a walk with your dog or experience (safe) zoomies with your cat. Summer time is usually great because it means more time outdoors for all of us! I'm currently unable to house your pets, but I can be with them in their favorite place- whether that be your home or on a walk!

“Faith took excellent care of our dog. After 5 days away, we could tell when we walk in our door how well it went; Copper was happy and content, not stressed, anxious + lonely. Faith sent photos + videos making it clear that she was playing with Copper + giving her lots of attention. She is training to be a Vet Tech and that was a big plus for us when trying to pick which dog sitter. She knows how to handle rescue dogs (ours was a stray from Georgia). We are in our 70's and she is young and full of energy...she could really keep up with our 6 yr old pooch! We couldn't have found anyone better than Faith and we will not hesitate to call on her again to take care of our baby!”

“This was the first time I used Katie to care for Ginger but it won’t be the last! Katie did a wonderful job taking really good care of Ginger for an overnight at my house and the day before and after. She attended to Ginger’s every need and sent me updates and pictures, too! She even left my house better than before. Don’t look any further—call Katie! But not when I need her! 😉”
