“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”
“Allen's doggy daycare is a huge garden of Eden that our dog loves! She comes home tired and happy after playing with her friends. Because she is getting such good socialization with Allen and his sweet pack, she is calmer and more confident at home--so happy we found Allen (and Kaya :-)”
“Ian was great with my dog. He was dependable and knowledgeable. My dog was always happy at pick up and had obviously been well cared for. I really appreciate Ian taking care of my Iris while she was in heat, that is not an easy thing to find, and he handled it with ease. Ian was also available with little notice. He is flexible and responsible. I have felt very grateful to find him.”
“Caitlin was fantastic with my little dog, Badger. I had never done an overnight boarding with a sitter before and Caitlin was super helpful in making sure Badger felt comfortable in her living space and with the other dogs. We did a park meet and greet beforehand for introductions and to chat through any concerns. She was very communicative and flexible with the booking arrangements. Badger came back to me very happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend Caitlin for your sitting needs. I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks!”
“Laura and Nicholas are so wonderful. They are patient and sweet with my girl Gigi. Very communicative, reliable and have been such a help on my long work days. Gigi is so excited to get to their home and for a sassy fierce pup like mine that is such a relief. They play ball with her, she gets to relax in their backyard and even takes her on hikes. They both have a warm energy and working with them has been a breeze. Definitely would and have recommended them!”
“Beverly has saved my life more than once watching my puppy Kimchi! I get regular updates, lots of pictures, and Kimchi is always excited anytime she knows she’s going over there. She gets lots of walks, playtime, and attention. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“By far, the absolute best person/daycare she's (Lilybean, 4yo mini Doxie) been with! My dog gets her own bag to go visit and never wants to leave! I commend her resolve to not watch breeds she doesn't feel comfortable with and I'm sooooo glad I found Rover!”
“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”
“Evita was available on super short notice and even made time to do a meet and greet beforehand! Very flexible and communicative while Teddy was in her care. We will definitely be booking with Evita again!”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens, but am open and excited to take care of all pets. I am new to Rover, but have completed over 40 sits through TrustedHousesitters watching many dogs, cats, and kittens, ranging from weekend sits to entire months and have been pet sitting full time for 1 and a half years. I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and have experience administering medication (including insulin, pills, liquid). I also have experience with a variety of farm animals as I watched an entire farm by myself including goats, sheep, turkeys, rabbits, cats and dogs. In addition to my recent experience through TrustedHousesitters, I have had many house/pet sitting gigs throughout the years. I periodically watched my housemates cat in college. I grew up dog sitting my family friend's dog and cat sitting for a couple of different families. I also nannied for 4 years, and have experience looking after houses, cleaning, and keeping my clients homes in great condition. I am originally from California, but my home base is Portland, OR. My favorite activities include running, hiking, and anything outdoorsy. I am a marathon runner and I have completed 6 marathons so far and have run numerous half marathons. I also really like exploring, traveling and trying new food and coffee places. I love to house/pet sit because it gives me the opportunity to be around cute pets and make some extra income as I recently moved back to Portland after taking a gap year. I have 3.5 years of experience working remotely in the medical communications field and I am a UC Davis alumni. While caring for your pet and home, I will be available on my cell and will text picture updates, so you can feel at ease while you are away and will be sure to give your pet plenty of cuddles and love.
“Charlie had an awesome time with Rabecca. He came home tired... I was astounded! Ethan did great at tiring him out and he definitely enjoyed the homely/ lively atmosphere of her house... including the back yard”
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat and dog mom, and someone who believes every pet deserves kindness, comfort, and connection. I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Today, I share mine with Kevin (my tabby) and MJ (my miniature schnauzer mix), and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. Whether your pet is a ball of energy or a couch potato, I’m just happy to provide a safe, comforting presence. I also have an eye for detail and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. From feeding and medications to playtime and routines, you can count on me to follow instructions closely and communicate clearly, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day better, and I’d love the chance to help make your pet’s day a little brighter, too. I’m currently free on weekdays and am available morning, noon, and evening for drop-ins, walks, or daycare. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in my home and in yours, and I adjust my approach based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and make sure they have quiet, cozy spots to unwind, especially if they need time to adjust or prefer alone time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to any instructions you provide. I know how important it is for animals to feel secure, so I make sure to keep things consistent and calm. In either setting, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals.
“Serena took great care of our 3yo Dachshund so we could attend a concert in town. We appreciate how warm and welcoming you and your family were to Charlie. He was in great hands. Thanks very much Serena!”

Ciera did an absolutely amazing job with my pup. She is detail-oriented,a good listener, punctual, researches before asking questions, and pays as much attention to the health and safety of her daily adoptee, as she does providing TLC. I have worked with her four times, and each stay gets better as she learns his habits, and my dog gets increasingly comfortable. I will absolutely be working with Ciera again in the future.
I highly recommend them. We were going out of town and our dog is older and since we have recently relocated, he’s very nervous about new situations. They took excellent care gave me lots of updates. I couldn’t be happier. They also gave him his medication and took him on excursions.
Brittany was a fantastic caretaker! Was very attentive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. There were some adjustments to my schedule and Brittany was able to make sure to be available regardless. Huey had a great time at their place of work! He spent the whole day playing and napping, and came home an happy, exhausted puppy. Couldn’t recommend Brittany anymore! Will definitely be booking again in the future!
Patricia and her husband are such wonderful people! This was our first time using Rover for our doggo, Loki, and we were a little nervous since he’s never stayed with someone he didn’t know. But it seems like he had an amazing time! 🐶 I’m so grateful for all the pictures and updates throughout the night, it gave us so much peace of mind. Definitely recommend them! 💕
