“Alison was so good for our little Corgi! She dropped in twice a day for him and sent helpful updates. She was super communicative and really easy to work with. Thank you so much for looking after the little guy! Looking forward to working with Alison again.”
About: 11+ years of personal experience with cats and dogs and also grew up with both cats and dogs in home. Now live in a super comfortable house in Lake Oswego with 1 dog, 1 cat and 2 kids under five. I work full time from home so am flexible with when I can visit or board a pet. Plenty of time to walk your animal or spend time with them while we hang inside. I have 2 large patios for lounging and live on a quiet street, which is perfect for taking a long walk. Love spending time and cuddling with animals.
“I was out of the country for 3 weeks and Victoria was such a help with midday drop in visits for my pups! Her communication in their daily report card was top notch and I never had to worry about my dogs on the days she came by :)”
“Whitney is incredible! She dropped in to walk our two dogs twice a day while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and I felt great leaving them in her hands. Would highly recommend Whitney!”
“I hired Justin to care for both my kitties while I was gone for a weekend. One of my girls needs medication 2 x daily. Justin did an amazing job taking care of both cats!! In fact, one who is extremely shy and skittish was all over Justin!😻 And my sick kitty was happy and healthy when I returned. He’s s cat whisperer!!!😺😺 I had many photos of the cats on his visits to my house, and an ongoing report on the details of the care they received. Thank you Justin for putting my mind and soul at ease!! You did an outstanding job!!☺️”

About: I am comfortable with all size dogs, familiar with senior care and regular medications, and good at calming nervous pets. I can exercise your pet or sit around and relax with them, but either way, they will be my sole focus when I am with them. I am currently between jobs, so your pet would be the sole focus of my time should you need it. I love spending time outside, especially if I have a furry friend to walk around with. I am very comfortable working with any type of dog or cat, and your pet will be my main focus when I’m with them. I enjoy spending time with animals and can’t wait to meet your pal.
“Angela is so great! She checked in on my two kitties while I was on vacation and it was so nice to know they were safe and happy! She sent pictures and updates which made me feel better about having to leave them. I will definitely book her again!”
“Veronica was so kind. She went above and beyond and loved on our pups. It relived any Anxiety I had for being away from them all day. They are usually home during the day with my husband but we both had very busy schedules and we knew it would be hard to give them the attention they needed. Veronica took them on walks and played with them. I was thrilled. I will definitely be calling her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs (German Shepherds) my whole life. We had to say goodbye to our 13 year old Shepherd, Lucy, not too long ago. Since then we have really enjoyed dog sitting our friends’ dogs and thought we might as well sign up on Rover to help more people with their furry family members. I currently work from home all but two days per week and my husband works from home those days so we are available for multiple walks per day and lots of pet snuggles! We live in a safe, family friendly neighborhood on a cul de sac with minimal traffic, have a fenced yard, access to Mt. Park trails out our backyard and Tryon Creek State Park is a few minutes away. Our daughter is 10 and LOVES animals. All three of us are big time DOG LOVERS!
About: Hi there! My name is Emma, I am a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet caretaker. I have a special place in my heart for all animals, and my own fur baby, Bella, is a testament to that! With over ten years of experience training and caring for different dog breeds and age ranges, I bring a deep understanding of their unique needs and quirks. I offer dog walking and pet sitting services that cater to your pet's individual personality and needs. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or some cuddles on the couch, I ensure a fun, safe, and loving environment for your furry friend. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions. As an active individual with a flexible schedule, I can easily fit pet sitting into my daily routine. Whether you need someone for a mid-day walk, an overnight stay, or just some extra companionship for your pet, I'm here to help! Pet parents can expect that their fur baby will maintain a similar routine to what they are used to whether in my home or yours as well as at least one 30 minute walk a day. I am happy to adapt exercise requirements to your pet's specific needs.

“Emma really loves dogs! She has cared for our two older dogs a few times and we'd have her do it again. Knowing a lot about dog behavior, and how to work with dogs of all breeds is one of her specialties. She's also very responsible, and will care for your dogs as if they were her own. If your dogs like to be active she'll keep them busy, and she also knows how to cuddle on the couch with the ones who need that. She's a well rounded dog lover!”
