House Sitting Irvington

“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”

“Shannon was a great pet sitter for our mini Aussie. Our pup warmed up to her very quickly and looked like she was having fun in all the photos we received while away. Came home to a clean home and happy dog! Would definitely book Shannon again the next time we travel.”

“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!!”

“Carlie is an outstanding pet/house sitter! She was a great communicator from the first connection and she clearly understood our needs for care of our 13 year old dog and our 2 year old cat. She sent tons of pictures and left our house spotless. We were able yo enjoy our trip because of her respect for our pets and home. I’m beyond grateful to have found her.”

“Great with the pups and took them to an off leash place where they could run off their energy. They were exhausted when we got back from our own adventure. We appreciate you!”

“Carmen was wonderful and very communicative. She took great care of Pugsley and left my apartment cleaner than when I left it. I’d 100% book with her again!”

Meagan K.

“River was great! Very communicative and happy to send pictures/updates throughout. She generously accommodated some scheduling snafus between us, and additionally was happy to come meet him before the trip to ease into things. Importantly, she was happy to ask questions as needed. Our dog requires patience and exhibits some odd (charming) traits, and she was happy to learn how to accommodate a dog like that and get to know and meet his needs. While our dog was happy to see us, he wasn't overly relieved we were back, either :)”

“I just moved back to Portland and was looking for a house sitter for my sweet little old lady, Pearl, and had a few upcoming trips planned. Danny was very communicative, always prompt and was more than willing to help with an unexpected medical need. Pearl was well taken care of and I'll happily work with Danny again.”

About: A genuine dog lover, I've been around them my whole life. I have experience walking, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after puppers, as well as dog and house sitting experience. Walking dogs on Rover has been a blast so far! I am mostly familiar with larger breeds, labs and retrievers, but also a fan of the smaller pups. They all get love from me!! I am familiar with giving commands and rewards, and love to help train so your puppy can learn fast! I would love to build a relationship with and keep the visits regular so your dog can become familiar and friendly with me as well! I am looking forward to getting to know your dog and the care and exercise they need! Please contact for availability. *I am severely allergic to cats. I am unable to offer housesitting for cat owners unfortunately! I work mostly evenings, I am mostly available for late morning/afternoon walks, but very flexible. Right now, any day of the week works for me. Let me know your needs! I am always respectful of the clients home and belongings. Full attention will be on the dog the whole time I am present. Will always clean up after our walks.
