“Big Frank enjoyed his stay very much! Received updates throughout the week and Frank got to meet a horse! Faculty was nice and clean. Mary and Randy were great! We will be booking future stays.”

“Sylvia and her partner Micheal provided a wonderful boarding experience! They had different schedule options for me to choose from and I got to pick what schedule worked for my pet, and my budget. Thank you both so much!! Will definitely board with them again ?”


“Tracy was great to work with and very easy-going! This was my first time using Rover and could not have found a more ideal person to care for our favorite fuzzy family members. Her dog was a great cousin to Eddie and Herman! Tracy did a great job sending us very sweet updates and pictures which helped ease the time away from our pups. You could tell our puppies really loved her and that she really cares about the dogs in her charge! She made some great recommendations and her home and yard were very beautiful and dog-friendly! Would highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”


“Our dog Rusty seemed to be very content and well cared for. Tony's place is a very nice country place, well off the road, with a large grassy area and lots of big firs. We will definitely ask Tony for his help with Rusty next time we can't take him with us.”


About: Hi, I’m Bree! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, and while I don’t have a pup of my own right now, I absolutely love spending time with animals whenever I can. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m here to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I’d love to help make their day (and yours) a little easier—let’s connect! I have an open and flexible schedule as a full-time college student, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Whether you need a sitter for the day, overnight stays, or regular walks, I can accommodate your needs and ensure your pets get the love and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where they can feel at ease while you’re away. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the importance of trust and communication. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands!

“Tanaisa had great communication and sent lots of photo updates, so we knew how our pup was doing while we were away! She was also understanding as I learned how to use Rover. Thanks Tanaisa!”



“Susan is wonderful! She was a great host for our little (older) Zoey and our big (younger) Hannah. She has a wide open and secure property that our pups enjoyed exploring. We had peace of mind with daily photos and funny videos. Highly recommended!”


About: Together our family of 3, 2 parents and a 10 year old child, have nearly a century of animal raising. We've grown up with dogs, cats, horses and chickens. We have a fully fenced (6 foot) 1.5 acre property. We have 2 indoor/outdoor cat and 8 chickens (likely will be caged when your animal is visiting). We are a combination of remote work and retirement thus we have a lot of time at home. We are able to shower your animal with love and attention and our little human is especially excited to focus on your dog. We have recently lost our senior pups and have some experience tending to older dogs. Because of our loss we are especially yearning to love on a dog. We prefer to watch one dog at a time but would consider watching multiple animals from the same household. Animal must be comfortable with and have experience being around children. We can only accept friendly and we'll behaved animals. Must be accustom to kids and the occasional cat. We have a hybrid work schedule and are retired. We spend many hours at home and when at home much of that time is spent playing outside. We have a large fully fenced yard for playing and fetch and getting your pups energy out daily. We will keep your animal well fed, watered, and make sure all their needs are meet with love and care. We are available to watch your dog in our home. We have a large (1.5 acres) fenced yard. We have a large dog crate and several other dog amenities.

About: When I was a young lad, I won 1st place in a dog agility competition in Tualatin, Oregon where I grew up. My family lived on 5 acres on a back road that connects Tualatin with Wilsonville; 65th ave. We always had cats, I'd say an average of 4. Sometimes less, sometimes more. We would also have 2 larger dogs, the dopey type like the huskies, goldens and the like, who would keep the coyotes at bay. Animals are part of my upbringing, and for me, a home isn't complete without at a minimum of a cat. Full disclosure, I am absolutely a cat man, but I respect and appreciate well behaved and chill dogs. My profile excludes large dogs but if you have a big boof of a mutt who's chill and good with cats, that dog is absolutely welcome at my home. I am a homeowner who's been laid off for a few months and with full disclosure, finding work in my field has been a challenge. I am an animator by trade, but also an office rat with corporate clerical experience. Most of my professional experience involved working from home. I am currently searching for a similar occupation, but will be sure to update this should I accept an onsite day job. Fully fenced in back yard in a quite neighborhood. Its a smaller yard, but it is entirely enclosed with deer fencing. Deer are regular guests out back where there is a small patch of nature (wetland, can't be developed), but I put the deer fencing up to keep Kubo in. He's a bit of an escape artist, so this fence has been upgraded many, many times to thwart his catty ways.

“Christopher watched my small dog for 9 nights and sent photos of her with a daily update every day, which I appreciated. Christopher really put my anxiety with leaving her at ease! When I picked her up, I could tell she had been well taken care of by her demeanor and lack of signs that she had eaten something she’s intolerant to. I would definitely book again and recommend Christopher to care for your beloved fur babies!”


“Becky is a thoughtful caregiver for our four legged happy dog Arlo. She is great at sending photos and keeping in touch. He gets lots of attention and play time. Great walks too. Great environment all around.”


“Another AMAZING stay for my dog Sonoma with Debbie. I think he secretly likes it better at her house than he does at home! He is always so excited to go over there and I love all the updates and pictures I get!”


“Samantha was wonderful! She was extremely responsive when I texted her and we were updated with lots of pics ? Samantha was also available last minute which was so useful. Thank you so much Samantha, Newt loved playing with you & Scout all weekend!”


“Elaine is an amazing sitter for our dog Otis! He always comes back happy, and when she picks him up he literally runs out the front door and jumps into her SUV like "Let's go!! Yay! Vacay time!!"”


About: Hi! I have had dogs all my life from Pit Bulls to Golden Retrievers, a Catahoula, and even a Chihuahua. All dogs are amazing and everyone of them should be treated like one of the family. I have a very open and flexible schedule to be able to take care of your dogs while you are away. I can do everything from helping to get the puppy energy out while you are at work to just being a companion to your older dog while you are on vacation. If you will allow me to take care of your dog while you are away I will treat them as though they were my own and love on them like all dogs deserve to be loved on. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and would be able to provide potty breaks, and even an afternoon walk for your best friend! I can care for your furbaby in your home or mine! I have a fully fenced back yard with 2 dogs and 3 kiddos who would love to give cuddles and extra treats while you are away. Or if it is easier on your baby, I can make sure they are loved and safe in their own environment

“Susan took such good care of Alistair and Jack! 🐶🐶 She sent pics and a video 📸🎥 that made me feel so much better while they were with her 💕. They came home tail-wagging and happy 🐾😊. Would definitely book again! 🐕✨”
