“We left our four year-old cocker spaniel named Charlie with Kelly for four days. We never felt out of touch with him because Kelly gave us daily updates with pictures. Charlie was immediately comfortable with her in his new surroundings. He had lots of exercise time and came home very happy! Highly recommend!!”


“Great stay for Miss Louise who has been exhausted sleeping on me since she got home. She loves seeing Elisabeth and her very sweet crew of dogs!”



“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”


“great family who very clearly loves having a dog in the home. they treated my girl like it was her home. very open to let her wander through the house freely and vicky/her husband are very communicative during the stay texting updates each day. would recommend and use them again!”


“Sarah and Dylan were both very accommodating with drop off and pick up. It made it easy for my husband and I to plan our trip to Boston for NYE and to know that Pika was taken care of. Easy communication and got an update with a couple of pictures to see how Pika was doing. Thank you again Sarah and Dylan! Will definitely bring Pika over next time!”


“We are always so appreciative to have Molly and her partner Ricky watching chexmix. They are flexible, responsive, and take great care of our pup!”


“Rachael was amazing with Maizy. Maizy vacationed with her for 8 nights. As promised, we received many pictures and updates daily. She was in tuned to how our girl was feeling and we could see the happiness on Maizy’s face in the pics. Rachel reached out with food questions when needed. We seriously could not have asked for a better vacation for our Maizy girl! Highly recommend Rachael! Hopr the secret doesn’t spread too fast so we can book Rachael again!”

“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”


“Viva was communicative and very accommodating of my puppy, and went the extra mile on short notice! I will 100% be rebooking with her, if you are looking for a sitter in the area look no further.”


“Anne was wonderful! I felt so comfortable and at ease leaving my dog, Maya, with her. Anne provided Maya with the best care in a happy, loving environment, and I’m very grateful.”



“Skipper had a great weekend with Kris. He came home happy and peppy which is not always the case with our sensitive geriatric boy. Great communication, photos, and peace of mind when she provided extended care due to a flight delay. Thank you Kris. Will definitely book again.”

“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”


“Rose is an incredible sitter! Poppy was with her for a weekend and was so well cared for— we received so many pictures and constant communication which was amazing! Book with Rose!”


“Bee had a fun time at Hannah’s! This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my dog, and Hannah made me feel at ease about the whole process. She made sure to ask all the important questions to prepare for Bee’s visit, and sent pictures every day to update me on how Bee was doing. I would definitely request Hannah again for dog sitting - she did a wonderful job handling all the energy of my 8 month old pup and made her feel comfortable being away from home.”


“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”


“Kathleen took great care of our pup for a week! She was communicative, professional, helpful, and clearly loves dogs! He is a high energy dog who loves to run and go for walks, and she made sure to give him lots of exercise! We know he was in great hands, which is amazing peace of mind when you’re out of town. Thanks Kathleen!!”


“Gwen helped us out at the last minute and saved the day when we discovered that our Portland hotel would not allow us to bring our dog. Our pup immediately took to Gwen who was warm and friendly. Gwen sent photos of our dog happy and cozy in her care. Would highly recommend!”


About: Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with plenty of love, patience, and care. I’m also great at following specific instructions and can provide regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I am Registered Nurse and it allows me have a very flexible schedule. I have most mornings, and afternoon free to take care of your pet. Your dog will be in good hands—and you’ll get photo updates and walk summaries every time. I’d love to meet your pup and give them the care, exercise, and attention they deserve!

“Lauren and her son are so great with our dog we wonder if chexmix even wants to leave. She’s very responsible and responsive and we will continue to book with her!”


“Highly recommend! Andrew set up a call before picking up the dogs. He asked great questions about the dogs habits, preferences, and behavior. Andrew went above and beyond to ensure our dogs had a great stay — trips to the park, car rides with the windows down, and photo updates every step of the way. Your dogs will be lucky to spend some time with Andrew.”

Viva once again provided a second home for our sweet boy. He trusts her implicitly as do we. She’s super conscientious about making sure he’s comfortable, active and well loved. And she always sends us the best photo updates!

Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!

Bee had a fun time at Hannah’s! This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my dog, and Hannah made me feel at ease about the whole process. She made sure to ask all the important questions to prepare for Bee’s visit, and sent pictures every day to update me on how Bee was doing. I would definitely request Hannah again for dog sitting - she did a wonderful job handling all the energy of my 8 month old pup and made her feel comfortable being away from home.

Rose was great! Very flexible, communicative and took good care of my dog. I’ve already booked her again for future dog sitting needs!

Michal and Derek were amazing hosts for my dog, Jade. They communicated updates regularly and were prompt with any questions.

Lauren did a fantastic job taking care of Haley and provided lots of updates about how she was doing. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others.

Kathleen and Dylan were so great with my dog, Gurney. He sometimes has anxiety but was very much at ease with them and clearly enjoyed his stay! Appreciate getting the pictures of their activities as well!

Our first time using Rover and Andrew was amazing! His initial onboarding call was very thorough and really put me at ease. Willow and Briar had an excellent weekend, and Andrew was great with photos and communication throughout their stay. Thank you Andrew!

Such a lifesaver to find a great sitter for Finny since our move to Portland! Would highly recommend Emily!!!

Karli was the best rover ever! We boarded our dog with her over the weekend while we got married on peaks island. Karli was easy to reach and she kept us with timely updates. She went over the top even bringing our dog on the ferry to meet us. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a kind, nice, and communicative rover.

Lucero & Ikenna took care of my senior dog Jake. They were communicative, understanding and flexible. After a meet and greet, I felt very comfortable leaving Jake with them and knowing he was in good hands.

Stephen takes such great care of our senior lady! Her smile in the pictures he sends speaks volumes about her experience, and we humans are so grateful for his consistent communication and flexibility!

We were so lucky to find Harrison!! He took wonderful care of Kiwi for a long weekend, and we were relieved to know she was in such great hands. He was very responsive to communications, updated us with pics, and even made us aware of a spot he noticed on her paw (which we knew about but hadn't thought to mention to him). We also appreciated his flexibility about pick up time when we were traveling back home. So grateful for his great care and highly recommend him!

Rebecca took great care of my pup while I was away, checking in often with pictures & updates! Highly recommend!

Anderson took great care of my senior dog Jake. Jake has been accustomed to being in his own house with a yard and a house sitter so I was concerned with his first boarding experience in many years. Anderson connected with Jake right away and it was clear through his updates that Jake was in good hands.

Kylie and John were absolutely amazing with Fenway! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She sent me regular photo updates, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. I could tell he got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Fenway will definitely be staying with them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Cally was awesome! Our pup had a much harder time adjusting than expected, but she was patient, understanding, and communicative. She spent so much time and energy keeping him engaged and helping him feel comfortable and safe. She was also very willing to provide tips and advice. Our dog really seemed to enjoy his time with Cally and her own dog, and we’re so grateful for the care she provided!
