“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, and happy to help with walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving your pet some extra attention while you’re away or busy. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I’ll always make sure you get updates so you know they’re in good hands. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m available most weekday evenings after 4:30PM and have even more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company when you need an extra hand. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and come into your home. I’ll always treat your pet, your space, and your routine with respect. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep a close eye on your pet while they’re in my care, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and anything else are secure. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know everything is going well.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child. In my life I have owned four dogs and three hamsters. Pets are not just pets to me but family. Any animal with me, I treat as if they’re my own fur baby. You’ll never have to worry about who is taking care of your pet because I take great pride in my work and have a lot of respect for you and your pet. I spent a few years working with my own pets, teaching them tricks, training, and keeping them active, and moved on to working with animals professionally for the past six years. I want your dog to have fun when they’re with me! Life is too short to not have a little fun. I hope to bring that fun into your pet’s life while you’re away! I’m currently working part time with Rover as a dog walker & pet sitter. I am available Weds-Sat from 6am-7pm to provide fun & safe enrichment for your pup! I live in a townhouse within a fenced community, with one small and very friendly dog. I do not have a yard, but have plenty of space to take pups out to potty and lots to sniff. My home is spacious and I have many blankets, toys, treats, and more. I have also installed baby gates to ensure it’s a fun and safe environment for all.
“Kirstyn is amazing! My dog loves her! Molly could be high maintenance sometimes but Kirstyn is very responsible and loving, she took a really good care of her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Lynden and Timothy did a great job taking care of my 2 bullies for the weekend. They also do drop in visits one day a week for me. They always take great care and send great photos as well.”
About: I grew up with pets and have been taking care of my own for almost 15 years now. I have experience administering medication, such as pills, eye or ear drops, fluids, and insulin shots. I volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center so I’m used to feeding and cleaning after all kinds of animals. I am clean, organized, patient, and have a calm demeanor that puts pets at ease. I will take care of your babies like they’re my own, and follow the instructions closely :) I work 7am to 4pm Monday through Friday and I’m available at any other time. I can go there before and after work, and I’m fully free on weekends. I can also go during my lunch time if the location is in or near Oregon City. I’m able to crate your dogs if needed. I can take them on walks, or to parks or short hikes if preferred. I can house sit and take care of your plants and do some light cleaning if needed as well.
“Gema took great care of our little man (17 yr old dachshund/schnauzer rescue). She was sweet, patient, and super communicative while we were out of town. Will definitely welcome Gema back any time!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! It was amazing to hear and see pictures of how interactive and unafraid our very shy cat who normally hides from visitors. Thank you Sarah!!❤️❤️❤️”
“Nathan is taking such good care of my very active doggy duo! He's helping them (and me!) through a transition to being home alone all day for the first time in their lives and it's been a tremendous relief to know that they are getting exercise, enrichment, and attention from Nathan during the day. He has been communicative, flexible, and highly trustworthy. It's clear that Nathan is a dog lover and understands their needs. I'm so grateful for his time with my dogs and he has my wholehearted recommendation!”
About: Why me? I’m responsible and dependable. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and will treat your Pet and Home like they were my own available for short trips and extended stay I’ve created a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, I carefully supervise all pets, maintain consistent routines, and provide lots of attention and affection. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.
“Michelle was wonderful. I had boarded my cat Roo in the past, but she would be very unhappy for a few days after I'd get her home. I had to be away for a week for a family emergency, and decided to hire a pet sitter to come in twice a day to feed and play with her instead. This was the longest I've had to be away from my cat and Michelle took amazing care of her. Likewise, Roo loved Michelle so much, I've never seen her get so attached to someone so quickly. On her visits she fed, watered, played with her, cleaned her litter box, cleaned up after Roo's water protest and took such great pictures of her. When I returned home, instead of Roo complaining about my absence for a few days, she only complained for a few hours. Such a huge difference and I'll never board her again. Michelle is thorough, responsible and dependable. I will use her again if she's available, and I would recommend her services to others. You cannot go wrong hiring Michelle to watch your pets. They will be safe and well cared for. Thank you again Michelle!”
About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. My life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own pet services business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a sighthound, small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining kind, calm and confident when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the East/SE Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates in our one level, ranch style home, and dog run fencing in our large, fenced backyard. Open to small to small/medium dogs for boarding and daycare.
“Cassidy thanks for taking good care of Archie. I am glad I was able to use your services for the second time and will definitely use in the future. I appreciate your communication and updates of my little guy. So helpful to know that he is left is good hands. Thanks again!”
“Heather was the perfect dog sitter. She is fast to respond, and very receptive to any instructions or requests. Her communication was on point, and she reliably took great care of our little guy while we were traveling for over a week. We will definitely be re-booking with her next time 💕”
“Grace was amazing - prompt responses, lots of photos of my cat and she followed care instructions perfectly. Her communication was great and she provided not only fresh food and water but also playtime and pets for Kichka to make sure she wasn’t lonely. I knew Kichka was in caring hands and was safe with someone who knows how to treat animals - even though my cat is usually shy around strangers she was comfortable enough to hang out with Grace and get lots of videos taken! I felt so at ease knowing Grace was taking care of her and updating me in detail. She is very knowledgeable and kind”

Heather has been doing drop in visits for my 2 German shorthairs for the past year, since they were puppies. She is always reliable and very easy to communicate with. She has great availability and has been so flexible and understanding with scheduling and last second changes.
Jessica clearly loves dogs very much and is wonderfully patient. She was so great and calm when our pup (who gets overexcited and pees when meeting new people) peed on her shoes. Jessica came when promised, took great photos of the pups, and hung out with them and played for bit. She allowed us to have a long day out, and it was great to have someone we could trust help out our furbabies.
Penny was So unbelievably great when my plans changed and I needed a dog sitter with only a few days notice in advance. She was amazing with my alaskan malamute and I am so happy we got in touch. I'll definitely be rebooking the next I'll be out of town. She gave consistent updates and photos during her visits with him. He was in very safe hands with her and it gave me a huge sense of relief knowing someone with so much care and attention was lookimg over my little guy.
Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.
Reagan is a true gem! Very communicative, responsive and willing to go out of her way to make sure our animals are well taken care of. We have a dog sit with her next month for a week and couldn’t feel more at ease with it. We’re so glad we found her and highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gresham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
