“Shaelyn is a positive, friendly, capable person! She definitely spent a lot of valuable time with our kitty, which is what we wanted! Photos and messages were often, making me feel very comfortable with our cat’s care and emotional well being!”
“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”
“Anthea is a cat whisper. My kitten took to her immediately and my anxiety ridden kitty stayed mellow and calm during the whole stay. She is dedicated to her charges and communicates in detail and quickly. Will leave my two fur babies with her anytime.”
“Kathryn was the most amazing dog sitter we could have asked for! She was attentive, had great communication, and gave our pup a lot of exercise. So so appreciative of her!”
“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. "I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”
“Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Leaving Dash for so long I couldn’t imagine who could love in him. Makayla loved my boop while I took a break from life in a far off land. Thank you for leaving the place so clean too! Well done.”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“Heidi did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and home. When we returned home both dogs were happy and relaxed. She even watered the garden! I highly recommend Heidi for your dog needs.”
“Amy is the kind of sitter you hope to find: she's communicative, caring, flexible, and reliable. She stayed at our house, caring for our three pets for several days. We got great updates, and returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend Amy!”
“Peyton was fantastic! He stayed at my home and took amazing care of my dogs. It gave me incredible peace of mind to know that they were taken care of while I was away. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable with him and the house was clean! Ragnar was sad to see him leave! Peyton was reliable, communicative and thoughtful sending updates every day with pictures! I would absolutely trust Peyton to watch my dogs again and highly recommend him for others!”
“Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Kat is amazing, she took great care of the beasts and my home. She updates regularly without me needing to check in, which is great cuz I worry a bit but also don’t want to be a bother. One of my dogs has pretty bad separation anxiety so coming home to see both dogs calm and happy with her was fantastic! 10 outta 10, will be using again.”
“Rachel was awesome! Gus was cared for and we received many updates to assure us that he was in good hands. Gus was happy and loved for an entire week!”
“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Kelly did great watching my boys for me! Very communicative, and sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies for you, and I will 100% be reaching out to her if I need help again in the future!”
“Heather was so friendly and professional. She took great care of my pup, Frankie, and sent me updates throughout her stay. I enjoyed my weekend away knowing that Frankie was safe and well-cared for.”

Michelle was absolutely incredible. I was away for 10 days visiting my mom because of her illness, and knowing Paco was so well cared for gave me real peace of mind during an emotional time. She sent pictures and videos every day and on the last day of the booking she even stayed late to make sure I had landed safely back in Portland before leaving Paco alone. When I returned, my apartment was immaculately clean and Paco was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would definitely rebook Michelle and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful sitter.
Martha was fantastic! She house sat for our dog Georgie and our 3 kitties. Our 13 year old kitty needs a number of medications and special diet instructions and Georgie also needs medications, and Martha handled everything with ease. She took Georgie on daily walks and played with her in our yard when it wasn't raining. She sent daily updates and pictures, and was very communicative. There were a few small things for the house we asked her to do (like roll our garbage bins) which we were very grateful she did. She left our house just the way we left it, and you would have never known someone was staying with us. Our pets were so at ease when we got home because she spent so much time with them during our trip. We highly recommend Martha!
Madelyn was seriously amazing with my dog, Tuna 🥹 This was my first time ever leaving him with someone, and I was honestly really nervous, but she made me feel so comfortable the entire time. She sent me tons of pictures and updates, and he looked like he was having the best day ever. I didn’t feel worried at all while he was with her. I was even late picking him up, and she was super understanding and kind about it. Tuna came home completely tired out from all the fun 😂 I would absolutely trust her with him again and definitely recommend her!!

Celina was super communicative, responsive, and timely with everything!! As someone who was using rover for house sitting for the first time, she made me feel so comfortable with my GSD Gracie in her care. Appreciated all her help, assurance, and kind updates :)
Madison is truly amazing! I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about our experiences with her! She again took such incredible care of my four fur babies, and it gave us so much peace of mind while I was away. Each of them has their own personality and needs, and she handled everything with so much attention, patience, and genuine care. I’m someone who finds it really hard to trust others with my pets, so leaving them is never easy for me. But with her, I truly had zero worries. She always kept us updated, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and treated them like they were her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and all-around amazing pet sitter!
Rosalyn did a couple overnight stays and daily sitting of our pets. She took great care of them, and the pets all liked her (even our scaredy boy cat felt comfortable enough to come out with her at the house). She was easy to communicate with and sent pics of each pet daily for us. We hope to utilize Rosalyn for pet sitting again!
Ryan was absolutely wonderful house-sitting and staying with our dogs for 10 days while we were on vacation! Our dogs absolutely loved Ryan! He took them for long walks and hikes every single day, rain or shine. Kept our house clean, took great pictures and was great at communicating daily. We could tell that Ryan really cared about our girls and even took time to work with our reactive younger dog on walks. Thanks so much, Ryan!
Johnny cared for our giant dog and two old cats for nearly a week and was absolutely wonderful. Our dog wanted absolutely nothing to do with us when we got home, which I take to be a sign that she was very loved while we were away. Johnny also cleaned before leaving which was so unexpected but incredible to come back to. We will definitely work with Johnny again!
