“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!!!”

She was easy to connect with initially and made the process painless for us. During her stay, she sent regular updates and photos. We came home to a spotless house and happy pup. We would not hesitate to book her again anytime. Thanks, Chloe for taking care of our baby and we look forward to booking again soon!!”
“I just moved back to Portland and was looking for a house sitter for my sweet little old lady, Pearl, and had a few upcoming trips planned. Danny was very communicative, always prompt and was more than willing to help with an unexpected medical need. Pearl was well taken care of and I'll happily work with Danny again.”

She left the place spotless and provided very detailed updates during the stay; she puts a lot of gentle effort into meeting your animal where they are at and appreciating their unique personality. I came home to a very happy, playful fur baby and am looking forward to booking Emily again in the future!”

“Whitney was amazing! Our 16 year old terrier doesn’t take to everyone, but she loved Whitney. Communication was excellent, with several photos sent throughout the time she was here. We returned home to a happy, healthy dog who kept sticking her nose in the spare room to see if Whitney was still there 😂 Highly recommend Whitney for any dog sitting.”
“Celeste was so kind, patient, and communicative! It was such a comfort knowing my little guy was safe while I was away and I didn’t have to worry. Despite being a shy pup, skeeter wanted to be near her and that doesn’t often happen with new people so a great sign. Thank you so much! We will definitely be repeat clients :)”
About: I am currently in grad school and using Rover as my job! I absolutely love dogs. I have been dogsitting for neighbors and friends since I was 15. I think all dogs - big or small - are amazing. My dog at home has epilepsy, so I am used to taking very good care of dogs. All dogs are deserving of lots of love. I will go above and beyond for your dog to make sure that they are taken care of. You will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I don't think of taking care of dogs as a job, more of a hobby that I love doing. I would absolutely love to take care of your dog! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am currently available most of the day on both weekdays and weekends, so I can cater to any needs your pet has and make sure they are well taken care of. Whatever your dog needs to be well taken care of and feel the most comfortable is what I am more than willing to do. I want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable with me.

Harper C.
“We LOVED having Harper house and dog sit for us. Our two labradoodles could instantly tell Harper is a dog person and they were comfortable with her right away. Harper is a great communicator - responsive and reliable. She took excellent care of our entire home and our pups. We'd highly recommend Harper to anyone and have a high level of trust with her. In fact, one of the hardest parts about moving to another state recently was asking ourselves "how will we find another Harper?!?"”
