“Sunshine watched my dog three times during my visit to Portland and I highly recommend her. She was responsible, communicated very well, and we were able to work together so that I could explore some non-dog activities, while she kept my nervous-nelly well cared for.”
“My German Shepherd Dog just doesn't take to strangers very well....in fact, she can scare them off if they don't understand dogs. Not so with Alex. One meeting and they're buds. On our second meeting, Phoebe ran to him like an old friend. To be able to have a sitter/walker who really understands dogs, especially the more sensitive ones, is a lifesaver for me and for Phoebe. Also, Phoebe is powerful when she wants to be and Alex is more than capable of handling her. We are so glad for Rover and for Alex.”
“Molly did an excellent job watching our guinea pigs. She was respectful of property and did a Meet N Greet prior to booking to ensure there were no issues. I felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. She sent photo updates and kept them from bickering with each other which can happen around dinnertime.”
“Midory was incredible! Was on a trip for 2 weeks + and she took pictures daily, Shelby loved her. Shes a shy one and Midory managed to have her open up after a few days. Definitely will book her again!! Your pet will be in great hands. ❤️”
“Iris is wonderful! She clearly loves my dog, and sends tons of adorable pictures of them together. She has also accommodated my weird nursing schedule when she can and offered referrals to other Rover friends who might be able to step in when she can’t. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our kitty. His visits and medicine were on time and we know Matrix was cared for. We hope to be able to book her again in the future.”
“Dissaya and Young were amazing! I’m very nervous leaving my old girl with anyone, especially because we just made a move to a new place. They took excellent care of her and went above and beyond! They even took on extra time when I got delayed on my business trip and left me a few extra bags because I was out. Do not hesitate to leave your fur baby with this incredible couple.”
About: Started caring for animals around 8 years old with my family’s two golden doodles. We made sure their thirteen years were full of love, health, and fun adventures! Very familiar with pups of all different sizes, personalities, and medical conditions, while meeting their needs for exercise, diet, and attention. While I now live in the city, I miss having those interactions and trips outdoors with a furry friend! I have a very standard work schedule of 7:30am-4pm weekdays. After full days in front of the computer, I like to spend a lot of my weekends and evenings adventuring through the NW areas to get out and about. I'd love to have a walking buddy while I get my steps in and enjoy the fresh air. I average about 12,000 steps a day on these walks if you have a fluffy friend who likes to be on the move! Or even one who prefers to lounge in a park. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my sister in the Pearl district. We have an open living area and are located right next to multiple parks. Easy access to The Fields Park! I also have a car for commuting to other parks and natural spaces to walk.
“Lori did great with our kitties while we were gone for a week! She sent daily updates with pictures and even brought up our bins and mail. I would definitely use her services again on our next trip.”
“Harper was great with the dogs, highly communicative and very responsible. She’s a huge dog lover and we could tell our pups were in good hands. We have since moved out of town and wish we could still have Harper take care of the pups here. Thanks again Harper!”
“Trace was great with my finicky kitties, as always. And she won over my shy cat. She also was a big help keeping an eye on a leak that flared up part of the time that I was gone. I'm very happy to continue to use her services!”
“Excellent at her job and is available for any concerns or questions at any time! I know my fur babies were taken care of because of the welcome I received when I came home and be calm and happy manner they were in! Highly recommended. Thank you Kat!”
About: Thanks to my destiny of being the cool auntie, I’ve got over 5 years of experience with petsitting and boarding! Growing up, dogs and cats surrounded me, and it’s only fitting they do the same in adulthood. Your fur babies will get all the love from me! I work for myself so my daily and weekly schedules are very flexible! My days start around 7am and go until 10-11pm, and I fill them with walks, errands, and leisure time at home. Summer/fall weekends are more busy for me (wedding/photography industry!), but I can still make time for AM/PM drop in visits. :) I have a spacious 1-bed apartment in a pet-friendly complex/community, located near the waterfront and nearby parks. In client homes I stay respectful of the space and can utilize any enrichments or crates if necessary.
“Sadie's care for our Flopsy was nothing but FANTASTIC! Everything from the meet-up, to the report cards, to the photos and all of the little updates and extra care for our pup. Really such a pleasant and warm experience with Sadie. If you're looking for a sitter, look no further. Thank you so much Sadie! We really appreciate you and your care. Looking forward to the next.”

Kayla T.
“Kayla was absolutely amazing while caring for my cat, Mamba! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. She took the time to understand Mamba’s routine and quirks, and I could tell my cat was in great hands. Kayla sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Mamba was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for — and the house was just as I left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive catsitter!”
