House Sitting Government Island

“Karen was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She watched our two very different dogs while we were away for my father's memorial — our French Bulldog with separation anxiety and our parents' Saint Bernard, who is very sensitive. Karen handled both of them with so much patience, love, and care, and sent us regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to be fully present when we needed to be most. We came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved pups — and that says it all. Karen is professional, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals and a great person. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pets like family. 🐾”

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”

“Emily looked after our 2 dogs and cat for a long weekend in our home. She updated me daily with pictures and let me know about any concerns she had with our one dog who has arthritis. We returned home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. I recommend Emily to sit your pets”

“Jamie took such good care of our dogs and small farm while we were away. She communicated well and quickly. We can’t wait to have her house sit for us again! Thank you Jamie!”

“Rachael was wonderful with our Golden Retriever dog and 2 kitties. She took our pup Max to the dog park to make sure he has plenty of fun while we were away. She was also fantastic with our cats and gave our 14 year old kitty her oral meds. Would highly recommend.”

Tiffany F.

“Stix did amazing with our crew! She provided many pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect when we got back and she went above and beyond expectations. I'll definitely be booking her for future vacations!”

Abigail D.

“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”

Jennifer S.

“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”

Brett A.

“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!!”

“Lily did a brief House/Cat Sit for us to introduce her services. She went over our instructions list thoroughly, to understand our Cat's routine and personality; wasn't overbearing in her approach and made small attempts to engage. She was respectful of our home, is intelligent and is easy to communicate with.”

Tracey B.

“Frank was wonderful for our senior dog and two cats during a full-weekend overnight stay. They were highly communicative before the visit and sent pictures we loved! Our dog got all the medicine and walks he needed. Our boys were in safe hands with Frank!”

David Z.

“We had a great experience with Veyonce. She was flexible when we needed to reschedule our meet & greet, great with our dog, and asked good questions. She was also friendly, sent plenty of pictures, and left the place very clean at the end of her stay. We would definitely book with her again!”

Adam R.

“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”

Tatiana P.

“Lena did a fantastic job watching our Shepherd, Frenchie, and cat. From the moment we left, her communication was outstanding. She sent wonderful photos and videos throughout our trip, which always made us smile and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She also took excellent care of our home, including bringing in packages and keeping an eye on everything while we were away. Most importantly, our animals absolutely adored her. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received lots of love and attention during her stay. We would not hesitate to book Lena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

Jennifer H.

“Did an amazing job of taking care of my two pups. Especially with one being dog aggressive she took extra precautions and did everything I asked. She sent me tons of pictures which I loved and was a very good at communicating. She stayed the night and had the house as I left it and even washed my sheets and made my bed after! All in all I’d recommend macynn for all your dogs needs will be going back for sure!”

Nathan H.

“Jin was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our puppy Jojo. We could tell the two of them bonded right away and I felt so at ease leaving for the weekend because I knew she was in such good hands. He even left adorable polaroids of their time together, 10/10 experience and we hope Jojo and Jin can hangout again!”

Laura P.

“Renata is the best. She communicates well, she cleans up after herself and she even knows how to reassure an anxious pet owner with separation anxiety. Thanks Renata! Highly recommended.”

About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.

“As always, these two absolutely rock- can’t even remember how many times they’ve watched my pup and done such an outstanding job every time. 5 stars.”

Abby F.

“Catherine was so great watching my pup while I was out of town. Ruby can be a bit hesitant to warm up to new people, but Catherine was patient and won her over easily. I would definitely recommend Catherine and will hire her again in the future!”
