“Harper was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute request without hesitation and was incredibly kind and communicative throughout. She did an amazing job caring for my cats, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will happily rebook with her in the future!”


About: I just loves dogs and am looking to make a bit of extra cash on the side. Weave a cozy house, fenced yard and a loving labradoodle in the mix and you've pretty much got the whole picture. I work from home 100% of the time so I can be with your good boy or girl as much as possible. Our dog is 8 and enjoys playing in our yard, walks and going to the dog park. We also like having chill days just cuddling on the couch and relaxing. I am a solid communicator and will provide you plenty of updates along the way. My husband and I work fully remotely and are home every day. My schedule is also very flexible so there's plenty of time for walks and going to the park near our house. I have a fenced yard that is very secure and the road we live on is not major, so there isn't a ton of traffic to worry about.


“I know most of Kat’s reviews are for dogs, but I can assure you she is great with cats as well! Kat took great care of our beloved cat and was sure to check in frequently. Would hire her again anytime!”


“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”


“Scott is an incredible cat-sitter for my cat Stanley. He treats him as his own pet and always impresses me with his in-depth cat knowledge. On top of that Scott goes above and beyond to take care of my home while I’m away. I truly trust him to do a fantastic job making sure Stanley is loved while I’m out of town. Would wholeheartedly recommend Scott”



“Shannon is an amazing dogsitter for our boxer puppy. We have Shannon come spend time with her regularly (over the past 4 weeks now and hopefully many more!) She is incredibly patient with our energetic, teething, and potty training pup. She even asks us what words and commands we’ve been working on in our puppy training so that she makes sure to do the same. It’s obvious that she is a true animal lover not to mention an incredibly sweet and reliable person. She has always been able to help when we’ve requested schedule changes, always responsive to our messages, and always prompt for visits. We could not recommend Shannon enough, you will very much at ease with your pet in Shannon’s care.”


“Simon made my first time using Rover so easy. I received a report for each visit - with photos, which was comforting. Simon is very responsive, and easy to work with. I would definitely hire again!”


“Thank you so much! Sorry I was MIA, no service in the mountains, normally I communicate better. The boys were very happy to have their snacks and a clean box, I had a great time away because I knew they were well cared for.”


About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.

“Christopher is so amazing. Came over to meet the pups before I left for my trip. He is super responsive and as a first timer he made it so convenient comfortable and a breeze!”


“I needed this last minute drop-in the make sure my boy got his pain medication while I was at work after he had surgery. Raphael responded quickly. He Made friends with my boys so easily and was prompt and communicated clearly. Very grateful!”


“Natalie was great! Very professional and communicative. She took care of my kitty and looked after my home while I was travelling. I highly recommend her. Thanks again, Natalie!”


“Would give Evian 6+ stars if I could :) Needed some last minute care for my kitty and she was so sweet, clearly took truly thoughtful care of him and sent the best photos ever. I also saw her meet my dog briefly and although I didnt need dog care this time, she was clearly a natural animal lover and handled his energy so well, so I'm sure she would be great with dogs too!!”


“Lindsey was wonderful to our 2 indoor and 1 feral cat while we were on vacation. She checked in with us consistently and took care of a few cat barfs which seemed a bit above and beyond her expected duties. She even spotted a few indoor plants in need of water and tended to them without our asking. It is a great relief to know that our fur babies were well cared for, we will definitely be checking Lindsey’s schedule the next time we need pet sitting.”


“Jason was really wonderful and took great care of the fur babies while we were gone. The pictures were on of our favorite parts of the day but you could just tell that he went the extra mile with every one of the animals.”


About: I have a long history of both owning and caring for dogs. To me, a fur baby is family and any pet left under my care is treated with the same love and affection as I would with my own. I would be honored to spoil your pup (with what you and your fur baby are comfortable with). I have experience caring for many different sizes, temperaments, personalities, limitations, and quirks that dogs come with. Special skills include: - Senior dog needs - Medication administration - Reactive dogs - Anxiety calming and comforting - Special needs (public restrictions, no kids, etc.) - Allergies - High energy - High maintenance - Physical exercise - Sensitivities Pet care is my full-time job. All of my time and energy will be focused on making your fur baby comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. I am home 24/7 except for the occasional social outing with friends. Furry friends are my top priority and I take every step necessary to ensure they are cared for and loved like family during their stay. I am very active and love taking pups for any length of walk or park time that they need or enjoy. I am with your babies all day and I treat them like they are my own. I provide lots of love, snuggles, play time, and am happy to give them as much (or little) attention as they need. While I love to spoil our fur friends, I adhere to your instructions, always, and can provide as many updates and photos of your pup as you'd like. We have a fully fenced large backyard (for Portland) and I supervise all furry friends outside when the weather is cooperating. We have a fenced dog run that is lit, with dog door access for your babies if they need to relieve themselves immediately. Dogs are allowed on our furniture and in the bed during the day for snuggles. In a clients home, I follow every instruction left for care of your fur baby and try to leave all homes better than I left. I will never leave your dog in any state other calm and relaxed. I take great care to ensure that your property is secured when I leave and can follow any instructions for key care, lockbox codes, etc. including key pick-up and drop-off.

“Matthew was amazing. He was so attentive to our doggo, diligently checking in and sending pictures of him for each visit. Matthew is super kind, and our boy seemed to have a great time during his visits. Would book Matthew again!”


“Dominique is excellent w our 2 dogs. He pays attention to their subtle body language and took the time to win over our shy girl. He’s always on time, sends pics and thoughtful comments, and has a great, upbeat personality. Recommend!”


About: I have often fostered rescue pups through OTAT PDX, and have taken care of many friends' pets. Different breeds and personalities. They love romping in my yard, and I can also take reactive pups to Sniffspots if they can't do walks or a park. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your fur buddy. I am currently jobhunting after a recent layoff and home most of the time. Previously, I was a FT remote worker and hope to find a similar opportunity so I can stay home with dogs! I have a fenced yard and no other pets or humans in the home (it's just me!). My home is generally pretty quiet and chill. Love taking dogs out for exercise and enrichment multiple times a day as needed.

“Donna is an incredible pet caretaker with ample professional experience working with animals. She worked for a dog walking company for three years, often walking up to 8 dogs at once. She always showed the dogs a ton of love and would talk endlessly about each one whenever I talk to her. She clearly understands each animal's personality and takes great care to not just walk them but provide them with training and behavioral exercises that are tailored to each dog's needs. She is very careful and highly values the health and safety of the animals she works with. Additionally, she has always been a loving caretaker for her own pets, and she has been a devoted caretaker for my own pets whenever I am out of town.
