Portia was the perfect person to house sit and take care of Tupper while we were on our honeymoon. From our first meeting with Portia, we had zero concerns about leaving him with a near stranger for 10 days. Portia communicated efficiently and regularly, she met every expectation we had and we came back to a well taken care of boy. We would recommend Portia to anyone and look forward to working with her again!

Portia was excellent! She stayed with our pup while we were out of town. We got pictures and regular updates on how things were going. When we got home, there was a very happy pup waiting! Nilla can be a bit of a handful but Portia made us feel comfortable that she could handle Nilla without trouble. Definitely will keep her in mind should we need a sitter again!

Portia continues to be the best. I’ve booked with her many times and she always does a great job.

Portia took the best care of our puppy and cat! She was very professional, arrived on time, and followed all our instructions. She was so patient with our puppy and made sure he got to play, even during a snow storm! Our cat bonded with her right away and she made sure he had plenty of attention. She sent lots of pictures and updates and she took great care of our apartment. I was able to relax knowing our babies were well taken care of! She went above and beyond and I will definitely use her again in the future.

Portia was awesome and my cat loved her! She was very attentive and was able to come on the evenings of both Christmas Eve and Christmas! I will definitely re-book her for future trips we take.

Portia is AWESOME! Super communicative, very responsible, and so sweet with our dog, Bear. We’ve used her for drop in/walks and home stays, and she was FAB for both. We’re grateful to have found our dog sitter in ROC!
