It’s always nerve wracking to leave a pet with a new sitter, but we felt comfortable with Sydney right away - she was communicative, prompt, and so good with our cat!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I previously worked in the medical field as a Medical Assistant in Urgent Care and Dermatology. I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I love all dogs, but my heart is fond for rescues. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds - various ages, abilities, and sizes. I grew up with labs who have lots of energy, but I love a pup who enjoys to snuggle and receive back rubs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog with compassion and prioritize their comfort, routine, and happiness. ✨ Serving the SW Portland area- located in Multnomah Village but I’m willing to travel ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Reliable & attentive care I’m looking forward to meeting your adorable pups! I’m currently pet sitting full time, so I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs day or night. I’m even available on short notice. I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits. I am willing to work with your schedule 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand your dog’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs to ensure consistency while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean and organized, and follow all instructions carefully. I’m attentive on walks, aware of surroundings, and always prioritize safe handling. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified.
“Kathy went above and beyond to care for Saydee. We’re so grateful and 100% would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for attentive care for their pet. Saydee enjoyed a very comfortable stay at her house and we were worry-free knowing that she was really well looked after.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job with my dog! I was out of town for 5 days and needed a sitter to come let my dog Belle out a couple times each day. Kelsey stayed in great communication throughout the whole time and Belle LOVED her! Kelsey did everything that was needed plus she even tidied up each visit! I will definitely be using Kelsey again the next time I need a sitter!”

I take care of my own pets every day. They are my family and spoiled! I’m able to have a flexible schedule as I stay home to take care of my family.

About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.
About: I grew up in an family with lots of animals over the years - we always had dogs, but also everything from guinea pigs to a pygmy goat! As such, I've always adored animals and they seem to be able to tell, and feel set at ease by my gentle nature. Currently I'm working part-time as a dog bather and gradually adding more pet care into my schedule. I'm available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after 3 pm. Allowing someone else to care for your furry friends requires trust - I'm highly conscientious in others' homes and will be respectful of your space. I will also pay close attention to any instructions you leave me.
“Andi took wonderful care of our elderly cat Rhubarb! We had to scramble to find a sitter who could meet his new twice a day oral medication. Andy was quick to respond, communicative, and reassured us through our first time experience on Rover. She and Rhubarb became fast friends, and we look forward to Andi cat sitting again for us in the future. Thanks Andi!”

Justin is an excellent walker who I can rely on to pay attention to what my aging pup needs, be flexible and follow my dogs lead, communicate back to me how things went & what he did to accommodate. I absolutely recommend him to anyone with senior animals who need that type of attention & care.
Melissa was fantastic! She was super flexible with some unexpected challenges with contractors in the house, and made sure to communicate with me quickly as issues arose. She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties as well as our house was well cared for while we were away. Looking forward to working with her again!
Kerensa is always so good with all of my pets. She is a natural and my dogs have had issues with anxiety, illnesses, end of life care and she has always been able to work with them to make sure they got what they needed and was so flexible with those needs. I am so grateful and appreciative of having found Kerensa!
I recently hired Dannielle to take care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the initial meeting, it was clear that Danielle is not only knowledgeable about cat care but also genuinely loves cats. She took the time during the meet and greet to understand our cat Humphrey's needs, and instructions on food and litter. Mainly I could tell Dannielle took the time to relate and and respond to Humphrey's personality. She was genuinely interested in our guy, and making him feel comfortable. Communication Throughout the booking process, Dannielle was prompt and clear in communication, answering all my questions and providing updates during the stay. I appreciated the daily photos, videos and messages, which reassured me that my cat was happy and well-cared for. Care Quality Dannielle gave excellent care to Humphrey while we were gone. I could tell from the videos how much he was enjoying his time with her- which was important to me knowing that he was receiving love. Dannielle not only fed him- but also played a TON with him- he had a blast! I am good at cuddles but these videos helped me realize I should be playing with him more often throughout the day too. He also received tons of pets from her, and enjoyed her brushing his hair. A great balance of play and relaxation- working with what the cat needs. Overall Experience I returned home to a happy and relaxed cat, which is the best indicator of a successful pet sitting experience. I highly recommend Dannielle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. She is dependable and trustworthy. I will definitely be booking her again for my next trip!
Taryn is absolutely fantastic!! I knew from the meet and greet that it would be a great fit bc of how clearly and confidently she asked my pup to sit before receiving a treat. she gave super detailed notes of her visit with my anxious, senior pup Billie and took lots of photos and a cute video. she talks to my pup exactly like I do (the high pitched baby talk, my diva needs it) 😭🙏🏼 she has great attention to detail and followed all care instructions to a tee. I can tell from the photos of Billie that she was relaxed and I'm sooo grateful. this was a last minute hour long check in and I'm definitely going to book with Taryn again.
Savannah is very professional and punctual, there is special care that is given to all the details that make your pet your pet, the little instructions that youve worked so hard to cultivate in your dog like sitting before the door opens are respected with a sitter like Savannah. Will definately be booking again.
