Please let me know if it is alright to approach other people and pets while on a walk. Please ask about discounts for multiple animals and extended stays!

A typical day

Tug of war and other stimulating activities are fun. Mostly though, being outdoors and experiencing Portland's gorgeous seasons while the pup(s) lead the way is my happy place.

Dog's Best Friend

Pet care experience

Friendly dog lover - here to help keep your pup(s) happy and healthy! My patented 3 part strategy: --Getting out for walks and jogs in the neighborhood or on the hiking trail --Playing fetch and getting some good socialization in at the dog park --Cuddles at home followed by more cuddles Basically, helping you and your pet(s) feel great about you being on vacation. I will even throw in watering the plants and collecting the mail. :) I grew up with Cocker Spaniels and enjoy all breeds and personalities. I'm also open to non-canine animals; just ask. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or if you'd like to set up a meeting!

Chad was great! He gave us lots of updates and made sure our pup got plenty of exercise and affection while we were gone.

We used Chad to watch our menagerie of pets and he did an amazing job! He was prompt and communicative from the very start. We received very lovely photos of our fur babies throughout his stay. When we returned home, the pets were happy and the house was spotless. We will definitely be using him again.

Chad did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for my dog. He has a very chill vibe and I highly recommend his services. My dog is kind of moody and not very friendly and he was able to manage her needs without any problems. Chad was very communicative and left the house in immaculate shape. Would hire again! Thank you!!

FANTASTIC! Chad was a natural with my nervous dog, and he took excellent care of her and my home. He absolutely went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful he was available to house sit for me. My home was spotless when I returned and pup was happy and healthy. Thank you, Chad!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
