“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Chris is awesome! He always made sure to be in touch and provide feedback and pictures from his walks with Thelma. She seemed to have a great time on her walks with him! Highly recommend! Also appreciated getting to practice Spanish with you, gracias!”
“Ian was very helpful and flexible in taking care of our dog and adjusted his schedule to help us out as another pet friend joined our family. We will use again in the future.”
“Deb has been a great help with Teyo who’s recently been displaying behavior issues after his first visit to the vet with me as his owner. She’s been willing to do and share training articles on his behavior; drive him to & from dog parks; and care for him nicely. I’m very grateful to have her on my puppy-raising team :)”
“I would very highly recommend Courtney as a dog-sitter. She has taken great care of Ginger, even with last minute notice, on two occasions now. She sent lots of pictures and responded quickly to all messages.”
About: I’ve care for pets of all sizes and temperaments, bringing a happy, reliable presence that animals and their humans quickly trust. With hands-on experience in pet sitting, walking, I prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being as if I were their mom. I’m currently working part-time in a tech and good job so I have flexible schedules on both weekdays and weekends. Happy to help with taking care of your dearest family member! I have a Shiba Inu girl (3-year-old), nice and well-behaved, she loves furry friends and gets along with them well. Let’s have a quality pet time together!
About: I have had animals my whole life growing up many dogs and cats. I currently have 2 animals 1 cat and 1 dog. I'm a manager a a local pet store. Training to be the dog trainer as well too. I work it around my life and job. Everyone in my family loves animals. All my coworkers know I'm all for the fur babies and what they need. I have a fenced in yard. I live right next to in fenced in dog park for a bigger area. I have a playful dog who's been trained and loves everything/everyone.
“The dogs get so excited when they see Desire coming up the steps. She takes great care in keeping them safe. Love the pics we get of their walk. Great communicator….I always know when she is on her way.”
“Eric walked my fur babies during my long shifts. Always worked with my schedule. And did great with my rescue that is super fearful of men typically! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of friends, neighbors, and co-workers animals on and off since college as a part-time job, and now I'm offering my services on Rover! If I put all of the time I've cared for clients' animals together it would be about 5 years =^). I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and I specialize in taking care of senior cats. I'm currently working four days a week at a popular local store, and I have time for pet care before and after my shifts on work days, and almost anytime during the three days that I'm off work each week. I'm happy to provide care for your fur babies in their own home, and I look forward to learning and then kindly leading their training, walking, and rest time routines.
“Ursula was great! She was super quick to respond, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked great questions, and sent a lot of cute photos + a detailed report card from her walk with Cujo. Would absolutely recommend her and book with her again - thank you, Ursula!”
“Wonderful experience as always with Jess! She sends lots of pics and updates to let us know how things are going, and is very flexible with our last minute bookings. I would highly recommend Jess to any other Portlanders looking for someone to watch after their pups!”
“SO above and beyond. Hannah was amazing with our high energy lab and offered us very thoughtful training tips and tools, and she was so thoughtful about what he needed. What a star.”
About: Hi there, my name is Bella and I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Whether it is a drop-in or a prolonged stay, I will make sure your pet(s) is full and happy. Before spending one-on-one time with your pet, I like to meet owners and their pets to ensure comparability! As a pet owner myself, I understand the responsibilities and needs both dogs and cats require. We would go on walks and spend some time outside getting exercise! In spite of the fact that I have two wonderful cats, I enjoy the company of dogs very much. I have experience looking after a Corgi, cats/kittens, and a Great Dane! Pet care is part of my daily routine! Making sure my/the pets are relaxed and taken care of is of most importance. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own. Making sure to follow instructions if given and that the pet is fulfilled. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is important to me

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
