“River is the best! She took exceptional care of our 80-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever for two weeks and truly went above and beyond by keeping our hummingbird feeders filled while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Her communication was excellent throughout—always quick, responsive, and reassuring. We highly recommend River and hope to have her care for our dog again soon!”

“These two are the absolute BEST. They’ve watched my frenchie a number of times and take the absolute best care of him. Not only that, they take great pics of him and my house is spotless every time I come home.”

“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Aidan did a wonderful job caring for our two goldens and house while we were away for a week. He communicated consistently, sent regular photo updates, followed routines for our pups, and kept our home neat and well cared for. When we returned, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly tired from having so much fun and attention during the week. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”


“Sparkle was really wonderful. Our dog Rigby has had difficulty with her prey drive/cats in the past and Sparkle was very attentive to keeping our cat safe and Rigby happy during her time at our home. We received many pictures of fun times in the backyard and lazy couch time and Sparkle remained very communicative during the full stay. I would recommend her to anyone and she left our home clean and tidy which was an unexpected bonus! Thank you, Sparkle! You're the best!”

About: I’ve started walking dogs since I was walking in diapers. Throughout the years I’ve taken care of different sizes of dogs~ puppies to seniors. I’ve taken care of dogs that needed medical care and trained my dog and my grandma’s pup. I can say I know a bit of things when it comes dogs. I’m currently going to school in the afternoon and working at a part time, my mornings are almost always open and some of my nights. I’ll Still be willingly to work something out between those times. I like to take my dog out every 4 hrs even if he isn’t waiting at the door just to make sure he gets a nice breeze of the outside. I usually give him a cup of food every morning.
About: I LOVE animals! I treat every animal like my own. From walks, to playtime, to just keeping them company , I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy! Right now my schedule is very open, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to prioritize walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving pets the attention they need and deserve! I try follow each pet’s routine so they aren’t disrupted by big change, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and all of the attention! My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their people are away.
“Amir (and Tiana) were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy Nova for an extended period of time and first time using Rover but Amir sent plenty of pictures so we knew she was well taken care of. He checked in about giving her extra treats which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”


About: My family has had 2+ dogs and 3+ cats since I was very young, which has taught me how to care for animals long term. I've also raised and trained a German Shepard puppy into teen years. I've also had brief experience with a diabetic dog, who required shots twice daily. I am currently between jobs, so I love short-term (weekends) or long-term stays (1-3 weeks) with pets and getting to know them well. In my own home, pet care is a constant daily routine. This includes feeding all the animals 2-3 times per day, cleaning litter boxes, freshening water bowls, walking the dogs 1-2 times per day, and playing with the cat (to her abilities). My family currently has 2 small/medium dogs and a senior cat, who I take care of on a regular basis. The safety of your pet is the MOST important thing while you are traveling. As a sitter, I love to send small update (and pictures!) of how your pet is doing, to lessen anxiety while you are gone.
About: I have taken care of animals on and off all my life. As a kid, we had dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. As an adult, I’ve cared for fish, dogs, cats, birds and even some goats. I’m pretty open minded although I am not available for large reptiles. I work online as a Workflow Automation Engineer. I have a flexible schedule and am ready to meet most reasonable requests. I am based in Lake Oswego and have easy access to most areas of the Portland Metro area. I do my best to be a good stand-in for you and care for them in whatever way I’m instructed. They will be safe, well fed with plenty of play to keep them happy.
“Erica watched our two “Velcro” Frenchies for several days and is fantastic! She communicated with us to let us know how things were going daily and was very respectful while staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her to babysit your pet!”
