“Natalie jumped in to take care of our crew in a pinch, and I’m so grateful! She took great care of everyone, especially our old senior pup who needs extra attention. We will definitely be repeat customers!”


“Lucinda is a trusted house sitter and did a great job of looking after my 15 year old dog. And kept my home spotless. I already have her booked for a third dog sitting opportunity. Highly recommend Lucinda.”


“Scott was a blessing. He asked all the right questions, genuinely cared for our two pets and took care of our house as it was his. A kind person. We would welcome him at anytime”


“Donna was amazing. We had her stay at our house when we had to go out of town for the night. Donna showed up on time and kept in contact with pictures and text's. She went above and beyond for our 2 poodles, who loved her. Very kind, trustworthy and caring.”

“Mark was a wonderful communicator and took great care of our senior dog as well as our home. He sent lots of pics throughout the stay and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, and a happy pup! 10/10 would love to work with Mark again.”

“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.”


“This was our first time hiring Ann, and she was wonderful! She house-sat and kitty-sat for us for 6 nights. She kept us updated with pictures and notes about how our cat was doing, and he seemed to be very comfortable with Ann while we were away. Fig was happy and the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”


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.

“Our cat had a super-terrific time with Zoe and the house was very well taken care it. We got very timely updates and many cute pictures. We will definitely have Zoe house/cat sit for us again.”


“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”


“ariana has been so great when she’s watched my dog! she’s been very flexible with some unexpected changes to my schedule and i always get plenty of great updates from her. definitely highly recommend her and hope to keep booking with her in the future!”



“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”


“Kai did an outstanding job house sitting and watching our jack Russell and two kitties! I was updated the whole time of how the pets were doing and felt so at peace knowing they were being well taken care of! Would definitely book again. Thank you Kai!!!”


“Marti was outstanding. We could not have asked for more. He did such a great job taking care of our dogs, our plants, our house. He sent us a movie of our pups that was a professional quality. He was a great communicator. I can highly recommend and from now on, he is our goto guy!”



“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”


“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. Cassidy treats Penny and other dogs he cares as if they were his own. I highly recommend Cassidy to care for your furry loved one!”
