“Natalie jumped in to take care of our crew in a pinch, and I’m so grateful! She took great care of everyone, especially our old senior pup who needs extra attention. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”
“Lieren was fabulous with my shy & medically complex doggie! She was so attentive and understanding when I felt a bit like a lunatic explaining all of his particularities, and I could tell that she had a great deal of experience and that special animal lover knack to gain the trust of shy pets. I came home to a tidy house and a happy, relaxed, well-taken-care-of dog, and I would not hesitate to use her services again! Thank you, kween!!!!”
“Donna was incredible. Our prior dog sitter canceled last minute and Donna was quick with communication and available. She was by far the most organized house/dog sitter that I have ever had. She was great with communication, sending many pictures, and took my dog, Siena, on multiple walks. She went above and beyond and washed the sheets/towels and left the house spotless, without any asking/request to do so. Our dog was very happy when we returned, much so to our prior experiences leaving.”
“Scott provided excellent care for our two dogs, two chickens, and our home. He provided clear and timely communication. We felt like we left everything in goods hand when we were away. Thank you Scott!”
“Mackenzie was immediately comfortable with the dogs. She was punctual. She sent pics and updates & very friendly. She was respectful of our home as well. Will definitely use her again!”
“Mark was a wonderful communicator and took great care of our senior dog as well as our home. He sent lots of pics throughout the stay and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, and a happy pup! 10/10 would love to work with Mark again.”
“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!”
“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
“This was our first time hiring Ann, and she was wonderful! She house-sat and kitty-sat for us for 6 nights. She kept us updated with pictures and notes about how our cat was doing, and he seemed to be very comfortable with Ann while we were away. Fig was happy and the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”
“I can’t thank Benjamin enough for helping me with my wild puppy Bunny! He’s knowledgeable, calm, and supportive. My little pup loved snuggling and relaxing with him and it really took a lot off of my plate! I’ll definitely be checking to see if he’s available when I need another booking.”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
About: Hello! We’re back! Located in SE Portland now, we are here for your k9 and kitty needs! My wife and I have been taking care of dogs, even running our own business for the better part of 6 years (in another life). From Hawaii, to Austin TX, and now PDX, we have experience with a range of ages, sizes and breeds- from puppies to old timers, we can handle anything and everything. Hopping back on Rover to help save some money for a house! Also part time photographers, you will also get semi-pro photos to show off your kiddos and no extra charge. :) :) We are very active and will love to take the pups on walks, hikes, rivers and even the coast (if allowed and what you’re comfortable with.) We will happily maintain training habits, handle medication, and give them lots of soft spots for relaxing and cuddling. I work from home, so they will always have someone around- this means lots of potty breaks in the day! We can provide references and social media info so you can check out pictures and video at the meet and greet! :) I work full time and am available for your pets needs 24/7. My wife and I have 3 small dogs of our own so we have to keep a good routine. Due to the fact that we live in an apartment now, we are not capable of boarding your dog, but as a house sitter, we will abide by all rules, training, and schedules to ensure they are comfortable. You leaving can be stressful to them, so we make sure we provide a comfortable and safe environment for them so they can still thrive.
“This was our second time booking with Zoe. She takes great care of our pets and the house and our plants were in great shape when we returned. We appreciated the updates and photos each day!”
“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”
“Jamie is a great communicator and aimed to make our dogs as comfortable as possible while we were away. We have 2 elder dogs that can require a bit more attention than most and Jamie provided just that. He also took great care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it.”
“Stepped in at the last minute to sit out 8 month old puppy for 4 nights. Did a great job, was very responsive and great communicator. Our puppy is definitely not the easiest to handle, especially since this was only the second time we left him alone. Would strongly recommend”
“Ashley was great! She took great care of my two Labs, cat, and fish while I was away. My pets were happy and relaxed when I got back, and everything was just as I left it—if not better. Ashley sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief to have someone to trust with my pets and home. I would absolutely welcome Ashley back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter.”

Cassidy I.
“Cassidy has watched my dog Penny on several occasions, from small weekend trips to up to three weeks of travel. I know she's had a great time because she doesn't want to leave when I'm back to pick her up! I know she gets enough play time, walks and is well fed while I'm gone. Cassidy treats Penny and other dogs he cares as if they were his own. I highly recommend Cassidy to care for your furry loved one!”

Milwaukie pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!
We had such a great experience with Sadie! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, Zoey. She made sure Zoey got plenty of walks, kept us updated with great communication, and left our home spotless when we returned. She is so kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with, I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. Truly, she’s the best of the best when it comes to house sitting or pet sitting. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Abby was an AMAZING cat sitter. I came home to a very happy healthy kitty and a home cleaner than I had left. She updated me consistently while I was gone and it is clear that she loved on Theo and played with him. I will definitely be using her again for any future trips!
Sequoia is exactly who you want to care for your pets! We were here from out of town and had to leave our 5 month old puppy for the weekend. She is a rescue and still new to us and you might say we were over cautious with our choice of carers! Sequoia met us long distance before we came, answered all of our questions and made an exceptional impression from the jump. When we met her, we were immediately sure of our choice! Sequoia knows and loves animals; understands the needs of a puppy and fluent in puppy care. She is a very warm and easy going person. She kept in frequent contact including videos and photos. She was confident and responsible as well as transparent throughout. She had our full trust! Our pup loved her and was sad to see her go! We could not recommend her more and will hire her again if we are in the area.
Kai did a great job looking after our boxer. They sent a few pictures of snuggles and kept our house in good order. I also appreciated how much time they spent with us on the initial meet and greet. It's so comforting knowing that you are leaving your pet in good hands.
