1. Jennifer E.

“Jennifer did a great job taking care of our playful young cat. She gave updates and took beautiful pictures.”


2. Haley Jo C.

“Haley Jo was fantastic! We felt very comfortable with her when she came to do the meet & greet and our first impression was spot on. We are so fortunate to have found her. Luna (our cat) liked her right away. We got great pictures after every visit and a detailed report about the visit. I would definitely recommend Haley Jo, and will definitely have her watch Luna again!”


3. Rose M.


“Rose is such an amazing person and we wouldn’t want to leave our 2 dogs and cat with anyone else. She has done such an incredible job each time we have used her and can’t wait to use her again!”




4. Marna A.
“Marna first became a dog mom over 20 years ago and has had dogs ever since. From a Weimaraner to Labs and a tiny Maltese, she has experience taking care of dogs from puppies, through healthy and active lifestyles, as well as caring for them through illness and end of life transitions. She is a responsible and caring pet-owner herself and I would absolutely trust her to care for my dogs as she would her own, like a member of her family. Her first dog was a weimaraner Maverick that a partner came into her life with, followed by two labs, Ruby and I can’t remember the other’s name, and then a maltese emotional support pup, Cupcake, for her child. The labs had great lives, playing in water regularly and even learned to have their legs toweled off before leaving the mud room. I had a very snuggly sleepover with one of them once. Cupcake is such a significant part of her family.”


5. Sergey T.

“Sergey was extremely communicative and patient with our initially shy pup. Would definitely book again!”


6. Brendan B.
“I have always relied on Brendan to care for my pets while I’m away, and he has consistently proven himself to be a trustworthy and dependable friend. He is now available on Rover, offering his expertise as a pet sitter. With extensive knowledge of various animals, including both dogs and cats, Brendan provides compassionate and reliable care. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and friendly pet sitter – your pets will be in excellent hands.”


7. Christine B.
About: Hi there! My unique dog boarding/sitting/walking skills and training that set me apart are the following: 1. I am a teacher and my plans for this summer are to spend my days hiking, walking, or relaxing in a fenced in backyard with a pool and some furry friends! 2. I am a life-long pet owner and animal lover. And I can’t dream up a better way to spend my time. Which means at least one of us is going to be in a wonderful mood every day! 3. My entire world is dog friendly and pet-aware. That means the primary focus is fur buddies; what they need, their safety, and their happiness! Pet-care on the days available, will be my primary focus. In fact I may also have one full-time and two part time helpers to assist me with walks and/or caring for my own pets while I care for yours ;) In terms of safety, trust & environment, I am equally as concerned as you are! Therefore, we can discuss your expectations versus my capacity before we work together:) The great news is that I love animals and know and respect how sensitive they are:) Some are social and zany while others need a peaceful routine.


8. Karli R.
“Karli is the best! We trust her with our two big, very hyper & active dogs every time we go away. She does more than just feed and let them out, she always takes them on long walks, to the beach, dog park etc! We are starting to think they like her more than us! LOL you are in the very best hands leaving your pets with Karli! She treats them like family.”


9. Melissa W.

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! She is always so diligent and thoughtful. She has taken great care of my cats and all their various special needs. She’s always a first pick to look out for!”


10. Rose B.

“Rose really came through for us when we needed care for our 4 cats over the holidays. She provided updates and photos after each visit, and we knew as soon as we walked through the door that the cats were well loved! If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your pets and can communicate well, you should hire Rose. We will certainly be seeking her support again in the future.”


11. Brian C.
About: Trying to establish a customer base, so prices are cheap and we can lock them in going forward. Im a great dog dad and genuinely love animals https://www.rover.com/sit/brianc18618 I have two dogs. I have an 11 year old chocolate lab and a 3 year old yellow lab. I have had them since they were puppies and raised two incredible dogs. Were often at capisic park pond daily, the beach, or a variety of different trails. We don't go places that require a dog leash as my dogs are trained fully off leash, and that's what they are used to. I of course would walk your dog on a leash if preferred, especially until a relationship is established. They are the happiest friendliest dogs. Perfect for a third to join us. Great if your dog needs to socialize or learn to socialize or is shy and/or nervous. I'm kind and love dogs so much but we have expectations and rules to follow in order to have a good time. I'm a teacher here in Portland and am available after school at 3pm, and open on the weekends. I'm a single man, so I am available to house sit overnight. I treat pets with the upmost respect and care for them like humans. My dogs are equal in my home and have the best quality food and treats, exercise 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and sleep (take over) my bed nightly. I respect dogs well being and put that as my top priority. I talk to my dogs all the time, anticipate their needs, and am very loving, yet at the same time have rules and expectations for them to follow. I'm very good at explaining things to my dogs if they need correction with a firm voice and a loving approach.


12. Viva L.

“Viva is so attentive and dedicated to our dog when she comes to walk her! We always get the best photos and reports back from Viva after her visits. She asks about our training goals to keep things consistent for our dog! Highly recommend!”


13. Seth W.

“Seth is fantastic! So kind and reliable, my kitties warmed up to him right away. Everyone is looking forward to his next visit - thanks Seth!”


14. Mae C.

“Mae is so great with my large breed, high energy pup! She’s also responsive & flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!”


15. Priscilla G.

“Priscilla was so so wonderful!! She is sweet and caring and takes exceptional care of your furry loves. Priscilla gave me such peace knowing my cat Gracie was well looked after! Included pictures and great info after every visit !”


16. Hanna L.

“Very happy, kitty was well taken care of and I loved the updates! Will definitely be back for future needs!”


17. Kristen G.
“Kristen has had allot of experience with dogs, especially hyper active dogs. She treats each dog like her own and is able to meet any of the dog’s needs. She’s very intuitive and able to connect with dogs.”


18. Grace D.
“Though not yet a pet owner herself, Grace delights in taking care of the pets of friends and family. She is very responsive to their individual needs and goes above and beyond to keep them entertained. Grace takes her pet care responsibilities seriously and makes sure to structure her schedule so that she can keep pets company when their family is away.”


19. Bela N.
“Bela is a responsible and committed pet care taker, she is available to provide essential care for my pets that helps me relax knowing they are in good hands!”


20. Justine S.

“Justine just finished caring for our two cats for the first time and we certainly hope not the last time!!!! She was communicative, detail-oriented, and sensitive to how our cats were doing and what she could do to help them. For example, when one of our cats wasn't eating, she moved the food to the cat's hiding spot, which solved the problem! Thank you so much, Justine, for taking care of our cats and reducing stress on our wedding weekend! :D”
