“My 2 kitties love Kayla! I was gone for a couple of days and she dropped by to feed & play with them. Since first meeting her, she has been diligent, flexible & great at keeping in touch (which my overprotective tendencies appreciate). I specially like getting lots of pictures of happy cats. Highly recommended!”
“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful with Mia and was so funny! He was really nice and easy going communicating very well and quickly with us! I would 100% be asking him again to watch Mia!”
“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He played with our boy and sent us lots of pictures. He will be my first choice going forward! I cannot more highly recommend this guy!”
About: My specialty is small nervous dogs that require special care, but I also board/sit larger dogs. The important thing is I’ll follow your instructions precisely on how to care for YOUR dog, so when you’re reunited it’s like you never left! :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your dog’s needs, whether they’re an early riser, require medication, regular exercise or anything else. I live down the street from a dog park. If you’re looking for house sitting I’m happy to do that as well, and will leave your place just as I found it!
“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”
“Brenna did an incredible job of checking in on my 2 cats while I was away for a week! She took lovely photos and I appreciated the thoroughness of her updates. I would highly recommend her as a cat sitter and would absolutely book her to watch my cats again!”
About: LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly! My home: 1 bedroom apartment, ground floor. Live with my partner. Do not hesitate to ask for lower rates! I like to be as respectful and loving to animals as much as I can. I prefer to let them come to me, and show that I am not a threat. All I want is for animals to feel comfortable. I work a part-time job, so any time between that would be great to fill with cute animals. I don't have any pets of my own. Make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. Make sure I check on them and give them love. With respect, I make sure the animal senses that I am there for them. Positive reinforcement only. I will never let another animal interact with your dog, or let a stranger touch your dog.
“Kirby took such great care of my dog Birdy. Birdy is a little shy and timid around new people but quickly became comfortable and goofy with Kirby. Kirby is a great person and is highly recommended. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Kelsey’s the best. They hung out with our cats, got to know them, played with them, and even endured the prickly personality of Luther. We loved their updates and photos, and will definitely ask them to look after our cats again. 10/10, no notes.”
About: With over 15 years of experience, I’ve fully trained my Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Bonus: if your pup is good off-leash, I go to the Sandy River Delta 3x a week! As a recent graduate, I have free time to walk your pups. I’m available early mornings, weekends, and so on! I work out my dogs 2x a day with plenty of time to walk yours! :) I live in a home without a backyard. However, I am steps away from a large park, also nearby the Laurelhurst park! If your pup hangs at my home, I'll walk them as much as you request, and they will enjoy the beautiful parks nearby.
“Olivia Has been a phenomenal sitter for my mom’s kitty. She always had great communication and I loved the photos! Sadly, my mother passed away and that’s the only reason I’m cancelling my services. Olivia is very sweet and I think she was taking care of my mom as much as she was for Squeaky!”
“Albany did a great job caring for our two dogs! We had something come up last minute, and Albany was very helpful and responsive. We’d love to have Albany do drop in visits again. If you’re looking for a good sitter, look no further than Albany!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’ve had experience doing jobs dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding since I was 12. I love animals and animals tend to love me too! I am currently stay-at-home, looking for a remote job so I can continue looking after my pets and hopefully yours. I am flexible and available on weekends. I have occasional trips home to see my family, but other than that I don’t travel that much. Every pet has its own personality and my care tends to match that, as well as the pets needs. One of the dogs I used to walk loved having a chance to sprint in circles over and over. I tailored her walks to go to a nearby, dog-friendly, fenced in park so she could get out all her wiggles before we walked back home.
About: I have been around pets my whole life, when I was a kid in vancouver I used to imagine living in an apartment in portland and walking people’s dogs while I enjoy the city 😆 My schedule is in the process of changing and is inconsistent, I will take as many appointments as I have free time. should be available more often than not! lots of experience walking dogs, aware of how to keep a dog safe on a leash around other dogs and busy roads. experience with very small and relatively large dogs
Kerns pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was terrific! I needed some last-minute coverage (two drop-ins on the same day, for potty breaks and dinner) and am glad I booked Megan! Communication was clear and fast, we had a meet-and-greet before the day of the drop-ins and Megan sent very cute videos and updates during the actual drop-ins. No hesitation or concerns to book again, highly recommended.
Tayla was great with my cat and dog they really liked her from the start and were happy to be left alone with her. She gave lots of photo updates and gave really detailed report cards for each visit so I could know how they were doing. She even made sure my pets stayed in a cool place during hot weather. I would highly recommend tayla to anyone looking for a pet sitter she was fantastic
Abeni was the perfect cat sitter. Sent videos and photos of my cat. Fed him and cleaned his book and cleaned up afterwards. Everything was exactly what you would hope for. But even more than all that, it felt really clear to me that she was a great presence for our cat while gone. She was very loving and attentive and I fully trusted our cat to be well looked after and loved while I was gone. There's really nothing at all she could have done to improve. Excellent sitter. You can travel knowing that your animal is well taken care of.
Laura has been incredible!! When I went back to work in office I was so worried about our pets being home and she’s taken amazing care of our dog each week with walks and now our kitty when we go out of town. Super responsible and genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend!
