“Donna was truly spectacular with my guys! I’m sure they’d give her 10/5 stars if they could! I was updated daily with pictures and videos of my dogs having fun on local adventures and regular status reports. She was a fantastic housesitter and I know Cogs and Wyatt already are missing her!”

“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!”
“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
“Ann is incredible! This was my first time using a sitter for my senior dog, and I was definitely a bit anxious. Ann completely eased my worries—she followed all directions carefully, checked in regularly, and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful for her attentiveness and warmth. Thank you SO much, Ann! I’m looking forward to working with you again in the future.”
About: Hello! We’re back! Located in SE Portland now, we are here for your k9 and kitty needs! My wife and I have been taking care of dogs, even running our own business for the better part of 6 years (in another life). From Hawaii, to Austin TX, and now PDX, we have experience with a range of ages, sizes and breeds- from puppies to old timers, we can handle anything and everything. Hopping back on Rover to help save some money for a house! Also part time photographers, you will also get semi-pro photos to show off your kiddos and no extra charge. :) :) We are very active and will love to take the pups on walks, hikes, rivers and even the coast (if allowed and what you’re comfortable with.) We will happily maintain training habits, handle medication, and give them lots of soft spots for relaxing and cuddling. I work from home, so they will always have someone around- this means lots of potty breaks in the day! We can provide references and social media info so you can check out pictures and video at the meet and greet! :) I work full time and am available for your pets needs 24/7. My wife and I have 3 small dogs of our own so we have to keep a good routine. Due to the fact that we live in an apartment now, we are not capable of boarding your dog, but as a house sitter, we will abide by all rules, training, and schedules to ensure they are comfortable. You leaving can be stressful to them, so we make sure we provide a comfortable and safe environment for them so they can still thrive.
“Zoe was amazing! She has been super responsive to all messages, sends updates frequently with lots of pictures. My dog and cats were clearly well cared for. 100% will book with her again!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pets (dog & cat) while I was away! This was my first time booking with Kelly and from initial request emails, to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire stay she was very communicative. I never had to ask for updates as she'd make sure to send them daily with pictures which I always really appreciate. 10/10 recommend booking with Kelly and I'll definitely be booking in the future.”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
“Jamie was everything you hope for in a pet sitter. The dogs were relaxed and in great spirits when we got home and the house was spotless. Jamie sent pictures and communicated regularly letting us know how everything was going. We have to French bulldogs that both have daily meds and he kept everything organized and on schedule.”
“Stepped in at the last minute to sit out 8 month old puppy for 4 nights. Did a great job, was very responsive and great communicator. Our puppy is definitely not the easiest to handle, especially since this was only the second time we left him alone. Would strongly recommend”
“Ashley was great! She took great care of my two Labs, cat, and fish while I was away. My pets were happy and relaxed when I got back, and everything was just as I left it—if not better. Ashley sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief to have someone to trust with my pets and home. I would absolutely welcome Ashley back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter.”

“Cassidy has watched my dog Penny on several occasions, from small weekend trips to up to three weeks of travel. I know she's had a great time because she doesn't want to leave when I'm back to pick her up! I know she gets enough play time, walks and is well fed while I'm gone.

Historic Milwaukie pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!
We had such a great experience with Sadie! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, Zoey. She made sure Zoey got plenty of walks, kept us updated with great communication, and left our home spotless when we returned. She is so kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with, I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. Truly, she’s the best of the best when it comes to house sitting or pet sitting. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Abby was an AMAZING cat sitter. I came home to a very happy healthy kitty and a home cleaner than I had left. She updated me consistently while I was gone and it is clear that she loved on Theo and played with him. I will definitely be using her again for any future trips!
Sequoia is exactly who you want to care for your pets! We were here from out of town and had to leave our 5 month old puppy for the weekend. She is a rescue and still new to us and you might say we were over cautious with our choice of carers! Sequoia met us long distance before we came, answered all of our questions and made an exceptional impression from the jump. When we met her, we were immediately sure of our choice! Sequoia knows and loves animals; understands the needs of a puppy and fluent in puppy care. She is a very warm and easy going person. She kept in frequent contact including videos and photos. She was confident and responsible as well as transparent throughout. She had our full trust! Our pup loved her and was sad to see her go! We could not recommend her more and will hire her again if we are in the area.
Kai did a great job looking after our boxer. They sent a few pictures of snuggles and kept our house in good order. I also appreciated how much time they spent with us on the initial meet and greet. It's so comforting knowing that you are leaving your pet in good hands.
