“I really appreciated Lauren's care for our cat Mimi while we were away. I felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands in our absence. Leaving your pet can be nerve-wracking, but Lauren made sure to keep me updated on how Mimi was doing and made sure to give her adequate playtime during visits. I highly recommend.”

“Katey is an all star! Even when a health complication for our cat occurred right before we left for vacation she was able to help us handle it. We returned to 2 happy kitties.”

“Jesika is great! I can always trust her to be kind to my pets, give them attention and take good care of them! She is mature, responsible and caring. Highly recommended!”
“Meagan is a fantastic dedicated caretaker for our triple whammy pups. They get lots of love and attention and I’m happy to have someone reliable to love on my girls and take such good care of them.”

“She was so good to my cats?? They were comfortable with her very quickly. I was given photo updates of visits. Pet care, feeding, etc all kindly and competently done. Many thanks and will use again.”

About: In the past, I had a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix who was 100lbs. His name was Huckleberry. I loved taking him on walks, grooming/brushing him, and giving him lots of pets. My friends also hired me to take care of their dogs who ranged in different breeds and sizes. I also love taking pictures of all animals. You're sure to get some pretty pictures of your pooch! I am currently working part-time at The Maine Mall and have some free time to help out as much of the Portland dog loving community as possible. Dogs make me happy and feel good about what I do! I make sure your pet(s) are cared for by giving them plenty of water on walks, making sure they are not acting out of the norm (panting heavily/having heat exhaustion). I was working at a veterinary hospital in Chicagoland, so I feel confident at making sure your dog is well taken care of, kept hydrated, fed well, and that all the normal everyday tasks (peeing, pooping, breathing) are being well monitored. I will also send pictures/videos if I suspect something is not right/concerning. I hope to take care of your cute pooch soon!
“Lindsay took amazing care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend! This was our first experience using Rover, and Lindsay was thoughtful and communicative throughout the entire process. We loved the photo updates and reports that she left each day. When one of the cats had stomach issues, she was quick to let us know and respond to feeding instruction changes. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you, Lindsay :)”

“Hannah was super cool and chill. We have anxious cats who do not like when we travel—Hannah clearly did well because they were both super calm and friendly when we got back. She sent lots of pictures and overall did really great. 10/10 for cat rating.”

“Justine watched our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was very responsive and updated us with pictures and a note after each visit. We really appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness over the holiday!”

“Jess is GREAT! She very quickly gained the trust of our senior and special needs dog. He is comfortable with her and benefits from her visits every week! She is punctual, trustworthy, sends updates, flexible schedule, communicates clearly and quickly, and we feel she truly loves our dog. It is very difficult to find someone who would care for your pet as you would and we are so grateful for Jess!”

About: I am a pre-vet college student looking to spend some time taking care of people's furry friends this summer. I have basic animal first aid training, I am pretty well versed in senior care in cats (having had a few of my own), and I LOVE working with/training puppies and young dogs. I'm happy to work with any age, size, energy level, and temperament of animal -- just tell me their favorite treat and we'll get along great :) I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! My rates are negotiable, especially since I'm new to Rover. Message me if you have questions! I'm home for the summer, so excluding a few one-time conflicts, I'm free and clear! I would be happy to set up a repeating walk schedule. I'm happy to work around any comfort level your pet has with new people. I'd prefer to do a meet and greet before taking them out for the first time, just to make sure that your furry friend is comfortable with me (or has at least met me) before we spend some time together.

“Stacey once again did an exceptional job taking care of our boys. She provided thorough updates and plenty of sweet photos. I never questioned if our boys were being well cared for. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants. We are happy to have someone reliable and that our cats feel comfortable with when we are away. Thanks Stacey!”

About: I have a cat, but love both dogs and cats. We recently moved to Portland and would love to spend my free time with your pet! I also have experience with elderly and disabled dogs so am able and willing to help out those with extra needs. ———————————————— ¡Hablo español! ¡Estaré muy feliz de cuidar de tus mascotas! In general, I am the most available on weekends and at nighttime. I have a busy schedule, but love to incorporate hanging with pets to help you and help me with stress relief! I only am offering services outside of my home—my cat is not friendly with other cats and would likely be eaten by a dog. My upstairs neighbor also has four cats that roam so it makes it difficult to sit for animals at my home.

About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!
“Destiny did a wonderful job pet sitting for Ted & Frida. She was very attentive and understanding of Ted’s anxious demeanor around new people. They both were very well taken care of while we were away. I would 100% recommend her!”

“Anna was great! She took care of our dog and reported back very thoroughly. He was such a happy camper - highly recommend using Anna to care for your fur baby.”

“I swear Emmy was Misty's mom in her past life - that is how much she loves her and is comfortable around her- which as an owner, is the best feeling. Emmy has watched Misty for 3 long trips (7+days) and a few other nights and we are always at ease during our time away because of her. She sends pictures, gives us updates if we ask, is comfortable taking her both on and off leash, has given her medications when required, and has had play dates with other friends & dogs, too. Our dog is so comfortable with her that she's always snuggled up to her and even perks up when we say Emmy is coming. Emmy is always our go-to when she is available !”

“Jayson was very responsive on Rover and extremely reliable. More importantly, he was so patient and kind to our old lady dog even though she was a bit territorial in the house. He understands how pets tick including older pets. I recommend him highly!”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jackiellen is clearly a "cat whisperer" who immediately established an affectionate relationship with Amigo, who greatly enjoyed her visits with him while we were away from home. She did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about how he was doing, and we will definitely use her again on our next out-of-town expedition!!
