House Sitting Knapp Landing

“Forest did an amazing job watching my dog, Bo, while I was out of town. They kept me up to date on all the happenings around the house and sent daily feedback about Bo. Including pictures and videos! Forest took wonderful care of Bo and asked all the right questions before I headed out of town. I knew they were going to be a perfect sitter and they didn’t disappoint! From quality care, waiting until the heat of the day was past to walk, sending updates and leaving a spotless house… forest was spectacular! If you have the chance to book with forest, I would highly recommend! They took the time to ask about Bo’s needs and my expectations. I knew I was getting quality care with forest. I was welcomed back by one happy healthy pup thanks to forest :)”

“Jamie has sat a few times for me. My dogs love her and she's great with them (2 large high energy dogs). She's reliable, communicative, and responsible.”

“Venessa was nothing short of amazing. We last minute needed someone to stay with our dogs for a day while we were at work and she answered the call! I was sent pictures of my 3 fur babies all day with constant updates and communication. I will without a doubt be calling on Venessa again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

“We feel such at ease when Renata is watching our little guys. We know they’re happy and well taken care of. She left our place nicer than we left it. Always appreciate her care attention and communication. Thanks again :)”

Maria W.

“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”

Tatiana P.

“Lena picked up a last minute house sitting request. She was easy to communicate with and took special care to support my pup in her post surgery recovery. Lena sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My pup was happy and well cared for upon my return home and Lena also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Lena for your pet care needs!”

About: I love dogs, am very active, and have been dog sitting for about 11 years now. I work from home so have a flexible schedule to give your dog lots of pets, and to take them on long walks throughout the day! I enjoy the outdoors and can do lots of walks / runs/ hikes for more high energy dogs. For lower energy or older dogs I am happy to stay home with them as well. I work full time remote, so will be home with your dog all day to give them lots of pets! I have 2 hours of scheduled breaks throughout the day as well so can take them on nice long walks if needed :) For house sitting mon-fri: I would need to work remotely from your home on my computer if I am staying at your house with the dogs, and for my job need reliable wifi (20mbps or more). I also do need to request the alternate location from my work in advance. I am always very cautious to follow all owner instructions, and care a lot about dog safety. Please let me know about your dog's diet, friendliness, activity levels, and anything else that would be good to know. I have 2 housemates who also love dogs!

“Ian stayed in our home to care for our 12 year old German Shepherd while we were on a 3 1/2 week long trip. He took great care of our dog and our home and made sure to check in with us periodically. We loved his short updates and pictures. Will definitely ask him and Susan again if they are available for our next trip.”

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! I’ve been house sitting and caring for pets for years, and there’s nothing I love more than making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their families are away. As a veterinary assistant, I bring both professional knowledge and hands on experience to every pet I care for. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds, whether your pet has four legs, feathers, scales, or tiny paws, I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care that’s tailored to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, caring for farm animals, or simply giving plenty of love and attention, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I do work full time, however I am willing to dedicate all of my time outside of work to your pets while you are away! I will follow whatever saftey measures you follow with your babies. I can safely navigate a flight risk pup or kitty. I am also comfortable with mild aggressive/snappy animals. I just want you to feel as little stress as possible while your babies are under my care!

“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my dogs and cat sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Added bonus is my house was spotless.i can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again”

About: I am newer to Rover, but I’ve worked + volunteered in animal husbandry for several years. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals through pet sitting, wildlife rehabilitation and veterinary care. I grew up with kitties, but I now have a dog of my own that has taught me the sweetness of canine companionship. I am currently available full time for pet sitting. I am very flexible and happy to accommodate specific schedules and needs whether it simply be check ins, overnight stays or something in between. I listen closely to my clients needs and make sure pets feel at ease when their family is away. I take care to maintain consistency and routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. I live in an apartment but try to get outdoors with my pup as much as possible whether that be through walks to the local park or longer weekend hiking adventures.

“Haley was very communicative, reliable, and à great sitter. Haley left our house clean and cared for and took vreat care of our great pyrenees puppy. Blue, Haley’s dog, also came to stay and is friendly and good with other dogs. We will definitely usage Haley stay again and really recommend to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet and house sitter!”

About: I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a professional housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I've loved dog sitting so deeply, that I've decided to work on becoming a professional dog trainer. I want to work with these guys all day long. For now, I'm dog sitting and dog walking. I'm learning about all sorts of breeds and doggie personalities, through real immersion with them. So, I'm looking forward to tending to your specific pet, to learn what makes them tick and to carry that awareness forward into the rest of my career! I'm a full-time professional housesitter! That means that I am very flexible to accommodate your pet's usual routine. I work in data annotation, and it's all on my laptop. My work schedule is incredibly flexible. This means I can set up anywhere with wifi, and we'll be good to go! I'm available to do dog walking during the day, as well, when I'm nearby. My dog walking schedules and availabilities will just shift as I stay in different houses, taking care of different pets. Curious about what I do when there are gaps in my house sit schedules? I live near family in Portland, so I won't ever get stranded. However, I actually intentionally leave gaps in my schedule, because personal travel is very important to me. It's actually surprisingly sustainable to book out sits and trips far enough into the future to know exactly what the plan is. If I'm not housesitting, I'm probably going on a much coveted camping trip, or doing some exploring on my own terms in a new town. I'm an explorer at heart, so I actually build flexibility and open time into my housesitting schedule. Before moving here to Oregon, I'd lived in Boston for five years. While I loved that city, I was consistently in 12-month apartment leases, and I started to need more flexibility and options. So, I'm enjoying this new chapter and drinking in as much as I can of Oregon and the surrounding states. I have pretty extensive gardening knowledge, having taken a large chunk of the WSU home horticulture and master gardener's training program. I've grown a lot of different vegetables and berries, and I can care for flowers and ornamentals, too! I love plants and would very much enjoy spending time in your garden, monitoring plant health and giving good morning waterings, etc.

About: Dogs are life. I've raised and trained several puppies, healed sick dogs with herbs and cared generally for dogs my entire life. I actually became an herbalist because I started healing dogs first. I live and work at home so I currently have all the time in the world to pamper, hike with and love up your pups. I have a fenced yard in the back and a whole 5 acres of roaming land and a doggo to keep your company and show em the lay of the land.

About: Having had mice, rabbits, cats, and currently a family dog there’s a necessity for up to date personalized care. No two identical, all deserve love! I work at Amaros table as a bartender and server mostly over the weekend, but with short shifts my free time is immense. I love early morning and late evening walks as I like to rise early and emphasize movement throughout the day. Daily walks a necessity, with play time matching my own bursts of energy with plenty of snuggle time whenever time permits to get back into the numerous books I like to consume.

“Samantha was very communicative, sent lots of pictures upon request and took great care of our home while we were away for five nights. We have three dogs which we know can be a handful and Samantha had no problem stepping up, walking them multiple times a day, cleaning them if needed, and left the home in great shape, with her bedding washed and folded. Would recommend. Thank you”
