“Wendi was the best. She walked our dog for two weeks twice a day for 30 minutes each time. Our dog grew to love her. He would sit and wait at the door for her to come. This made us so relaxed while recovering from surgery. And we booked her again for three additional days.”
“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.
“Ariana was a true professional and I was beyond happy with her services. She was the first person I tried to care for my Daisy girl and I couldn’t have found someone better. Daisy loved her. She came back exhausted from their adventure which was just what I was hoping for. She missed her when she left. It was a perfect match. Very dog knowledgeable and caring by nature, I feel very lucky!!! Thank You Ariana ❤️ Laura and Daisy 🌸”
“Christina has been amazing! She has been walking our dog a couple times a week for about a month now. Our dog is very anxious when he meets new people, and can occasionally be aggressive when he’s at home and it’s someone new, but he instantly warmed to Christina! He has his own quirks like hating his harness but she is incredibly patient and is willing to wait it out until he is comfortable with getting it on. She’s very responsive to messages and gives lots of updates. Plus, you can tell she really loves dogs! We are very happy with her care of our pup!”
“Cindy was wonderful-reliable, sent great pictures and was able to get both dogs to go on daily walks (I wasn’t sure one would join in). Both dogs looked happy in the photos and I would certainly trust my pups with her again!”

About: I recently had to say goodbye to my 8 year old black lab due to cancer. I am looking to spend some time helping others with their pet care. As a pet owner I understand how stressful time away can be due to missing your animal. Let me make your work day, work trip or vacation a little easier. I work full-time from home so I have flexibility to pet sit in your home, be available for walks or potty breaks, etc. During my free weekends I am available to stay with your pet. I am able to care for your pets in your home to make them feel safe and comfortable. This helps to avoid transportation or any settling in period.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, I've been a cat owner for a decade, also experienced with small pets like hermit crabs, rabbits, and fish I have a very open schedule, so flexibility is not an issue. I prefer scheduling within normal business hours, but can adjust that as needed I approach new animals (and homes) with respect first, boundaries are important! I lead with openness and patience, and take my cues from the animals
About: I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I’m available and can work pet care around my daily and weekly schedule. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a lot of flexibility. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have had the pleasure of caring for them from childhood through adulthood. I love showering pups with lots of love, snuggles, treats and walks! I currently work full time, but my schedule allows for drop ins after 330pm on the weekdays, and all day on most Saturdays and Sundays I'm more than willing to keep to your pups routine and ways. I can and will send cute pictures of your happy fur baby if wanted.
About: I'm highly dependable and punctual, and I always provide clear updates so you know how the walk went. You’ll never be left wondering—just happy to see your dog getting great care and exercise while you’re away or busy. I work a full-time job Monday - Friday, with remote work at the beginning of the week and an hour-long break each day for those local to my office in Portland. My weekends are typically open, as I have Saturdays and Sundays off work. Generally speaking, I may be able to accommodate walks before 8 am and after 5 pm throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and their routine with respect. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, wiping paws, or giving meds—and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves to explore or a senior who enjoys a slow stroll, I make sure they’re getting the right amount of exercise, enrichment, and love. After every visit, I send an update so you know how things went and how your pet is doing!

“Jennifer would be a fantastic caregiver to any pet. She has been the best dog mom to our dog Kaija for 4 years now. She is the most thoughtful person I know and would do anything to ensure people or pets under her care are well taken care of. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch over their pet and will have the piece of mind that they are in good hands.”
Alesha M.
“To whom it may concern: It is my immense pleasure to recommend one of the hardest workers, Alesha, to Rover. Since meeting Alesha, her intelligence, diligence, and honesty has always impressed me. I highly recommend Alesha as a candidate for employment. She is a highly motivated individual. She works extremely hard to produce quality work in all that she does. I believe that this would hold true in her pursuit of this position. Alesha also has the gift of developing a positive rapport with everyone she comes in contact with. Alesha has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Alesha can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job always gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. I have had Alesha take care of my pets in the past and she will always be my first choice. She shows great compassion towards my pets and makes sure that their needs are met. Alesha has numerous strengths however, I believe her greatest strength is her genuine caring and compassion. Alesha exudes a positive energy and kindness in her interactions with others. Alesha would be a tremendous asset to your company and has my highest recommendation. Sincerely, Karly S.”
