About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.
“Celeste is a wonderful addition to my dog walker group as she is on time, kind with my dog and very happy to work with my needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Annalei is so great with our dog. Initially, our dog was a little slow to warm up but Annalei is so kind, patient and sweet that our dog has defenitely been won over with Annlei's wonderful charm. Annalei is very professional and communicative with us and has been nothing but a joy to work with. We are so grateful to have found her and our dog loves her as well!”
“Nigel and Ruby are the absolute best when it comes to taking exceptional care of my babies! I know that when they have my littles I don't have to worry about a thing. Honestly, I wish I would have found these guys sooner!”
“Alyson has been walking my little blind weenie for about a month now. My little girl loves her and is always so excited for her walk. Alyson is so sweet and gentle with her. Alyson communicates well and is prompt. I would highly recommend her!”
“Helped me out in a last minute request! My pup was so settled after his walks, I knew they had a good time and quality exercise. Also got to meet her dog, very gentle and sweet. 10/10”
“Andi has been amazing! Highly recommend. She is an excellent communicator, reliable, responsible, patient and loving with my little 5 month old shih tzu bulldog mix. I really appreciate Andi's willingness to talk this over, see how things fit and adjust from there. Thank you, Andi!!”
About: I have been pet-sitting for several years, including cats and dogs of all ages. My primary client in San Diego was an older dog, so I am very familiar with administering medications (i.e., oral pills, topical medicine, and injections). I also have experience in households with multiple pets, and am comfortable with younger animals too. I am more than happy to stay overnight and provide whatever pet care is needed! Hello! My name is Gianna, and I’ve recently moved from San Diego to Portland. I loved pet-sitting in San Diego, and am hoping to continue pet care now that I’ve relocated! I am currently fully available day/night to pet-sit as I continue to seek remote-only work. I am able to stay the night with your pets in your home, arrive early mornings, and/or leave late nights. My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to accommodate your pet’s daily needs! I am unable to board pets at my home, but am more than happy to stay in an owner’s home! I am dedicated to ensuring pets are comfortable in their familiar space while owner’s are away. I always ensure to stick to any strict pet schedules and meet all sitting requirements/requests. I have several years of experience with pets of all ages, but have spent significant time with older pets; I am fully comfortable administering any medication (oral, topical, injection, etc.) that your pet may need.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends, which has given me experience with different dogs, personalities, and routines. I’m also a CNA, so being patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work as an on-call CNA and am currently in an online BSN program I have lots of flexibility and can work around other peoples schedules! Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while also respecting their space. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, make sure everything is left the way I found it, and send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens and more and love spending time around animals! In the past I’ve been relied on to care for neighbors and friends pets, and would love to continue doing that :) I am currently working part time and will be home most of the day to hang with your pet! I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will be home most of the day to keep your pet company, and have two very friendly dogs who can keep them entertained and play while I’m away.
About: I provide more than just dog sitting — I build loving, trusting relationships with every dog in my care. I have experience with senior dogs, pups who need medication, and dogs who simply need a little extra love and attention. I love taking them on walks, spending quality time together, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have references if needed. I recently moved from California and am now living with my aunt and uncle, so my schedule is wide open for pup care! I had to say goodbye to my wonderful dog clients back home and am so excited to meet new dogs who need loving, attentive care. Since I’m not currently working outside of dog sitting, I’m fully available to give your pup the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect — as if it were my own. I’m clean, organized, and make sure everything is left just as I found it (or better!). I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Along with providing loving care for your pets, I also ensure your home stays tidy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m especially drawn to homes that feel peaceful, well cared for, and thoughtfully put together—spaces where you can really sense the love and intention behind them. I’ve found that both pets and people tend to thrive in that kind of environment, and it helps me feel comfortable and fully present too.
“New client soon to be regular here! Sequoia did an amazing job taking care of my dog during the heatwave. I appreciated her consideration in avoiding excessive heat exposure and her attention to detail in handling my leash reactive dog. Communication was great, photos are even better. Thanks so much Sequoia!”
“Stephanie was great! She gave great updates and gave me piece of mind that Blue was taken care of and got some energy out while I was at work, which ment I could come home to a little less hyper puppy!”
About: Hi, I’m Karissa — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, reliable presence and a genuine passion for helping pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs structure, gentle reassurance, or just a fun companion for the day, I show up with patience, consistency, and a lot of heart. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort and security they feel at home, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away! I’m in school and have time throughout the week to help out. Most days are a thumbs up for me! Hey Thanks for stopping by! Animals are the principals of our world. They teach us to live our lives! There is no leash tugging from me, consistent phone use, leave poop on the ground going on here. My walks and check ins are safe, reliable and fun with all animals.
About: I've taken care of neighbors pets for the past few years! I accept only potty trained dogs. Love poodles and golden retrievers so much not too hyper!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Oswego
Phoenix has a depth of knowledge I’ve yet to see in any other pet handler, such as breed-specific needs, training methodology, and difficult-to-spot signs of concern. I trust nobody as much as her to care for my animals as if they were her own, and cannot recommend anybody highly enough. Will always come back to her, fantastic job.
For the last 1.5 years, Sequoia has been adding joy to my dog’s life with all her adventurous walks. Not only does Sequoia send me updates about how my dog (Laika) did that day, she also adds little but important details about their walk together! This lets me imagine what a great time Laika had on her walk. A happy dog makes for a very happy dog-mom, and I don’t feel quite as guilty while at work. Thanks, Sequoia, for being so wonderful! We appreciate all you do.
Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made all the difference. Finding someone you trust with your pet is extremely important, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Marissa. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Megan is great! I have a very reactive/slow to warm up dog and Megan has been patient and kind as he has warmed up. My dogs are also very energetic and needy. I feel at ease knowing Megan will take care of them on their daily walks. Megan always provides detailed notes on how the walk went. Megan is always on time and is very reliable. I would recommend Megan to any friend or family!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lake Oswego. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
