This was our first time using Rover for our cat, so we were a bit nervous. However, Kayla put us at ease right away with her professionalism. I appreciated that she took off her shoes and, knowing our cat is shy, sat on the floor to meet her at her level, making her feel more comfortable. Kayla’s updates were detailed, and she sent wonderful photos, even bringing in one of our packages. It’s clear my cat has found a new best friend, and I’ll definitely be booking Kayla again!

Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!

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!

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 😍

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.

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!

Katie's absolutely awesome! Obv very experienced with dogs, will adapt what she does to my pup's mood/the weather outside/etc etc. She's been the primary sitter/walker since my golden retriever puppy was 9 weeks old, and initially stayed with her all day to help her overcome her separation anxiety. Now Orla's able to go hours at a time unsupervised, and goes for nice long walks at noon w/ Katie. Pretty sure she's Orla's BFF at this point!

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.

They really went above and beyond! We never leave our boys alone for very long and I was a little nervous, especially with two crazy kittens and one elderly cat that's had health issues in the past and is very scared of new people. They went above and beyond my expectations! They were so wonderful i got the cutest photos and sweetest updates from them, and was really able to enjoy my holidays knowing that my boys were in good hands! And after our plane was delayed they went above and beyond and checked on the boys last minute. I'm so happy to have found them and can't recommend them enough!

She is amazing. I highly recommend this pet sitter. I have two cats and one of them is fairly standoffish and nervous around people. And for some unknown reason, this cat, is in love with her. I had no idea he could be so sweet and cuddly with people and somehow, something magical about her makes him safe and feel loved. I'm almost a little bit jealous of her as a result. I don't think he's ever been as cuddly with me as he is with her. He's a wonderful cat but he definitely has human preferences.

We had a wonderful experience with Gracie! She set my mind at ease at the meet and greet when I brought up some issues that had come up with a previous sitter, and even specifically followed up on these topics during the visits so I knew my two cats were getting proper care. It was great getting daily updates and photos, and even a couple videos from the visits, and the boys were happy and healthy upon return…plus the house wasn’t torn up from anxiety/boredom, so they definitely got playtime and love! Gracie was even kind enough to spend a bit of extra time with them on the weekend since the trip was 10 days. She was also super flexible and understanding of some last minute changes to one of my trips and some updates to care/house instructions. Thank you Gracie!!
