House Sitting In Northwood

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.

“My dog seems to be very reserves and skittish around strangers so was very apprehensive about booking someone from Rover to stay with her. I made the perfect choice with Anthea. My little girl was comfortable with her right away. Anthea sent multiple pictures and put my mind at ease immediately couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your animal. I will certainly use her again.”

“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”

“Although the boys were really excited that I was home they still ran back to Pat with their favorite toy to see if she would throw it. So my dogs were happy and well taken care of and Pat cleaned up after herself. Good experience.”

“My boyfriend and I left our doggies in Amy’s care for 2 weeks while visiting family. We knew right away that Amy would love our doggies like her own! Amy’s attention to detail and love for dogs is outstanding. I am so glad we found her to take care of our dogs on such short notice. In addition to being a nice person, Amy went out of her way to visit the dogs three times and get comfortable with them off leash so they could still play fetch while we were gone. She stayed in our apartment and left it probably even cleaner than we left it for her! Amy checked in with us daily and sent many pictures. The dogs were happy and also exhausted (from so much play!) when we got back. I’m so happy to have found her and will definitely look to book her again if we leave town and cannot take the doggies. Thank you Amy! I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. ​"I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”

“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”

Chris D.

“Spencer was great with our kitties. We got update photos while we were away and it was great to see them so relaxed and happy. Our most shy Mika came out and interacted with Spencer right away. I appreciate the level of communication and care, and I love coming home to happy cats. Looking forward to more trips and we will be booking with Spencer again.”

Katie G.

“Olivine went above and beyond during her house stay with our pups Melvin and Elton while we went away. We received cute pictures multiple times throughout the day and she texted questions that made us feel secure that she was really on top of it and wanted to provide the best comfort and care to our dogs. She even put linens in the wash before leaving! Incredible! We will be booking her again soon.”

David C.

“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”

Dana M.

“Taz was amazing! This was the 1st time using this service for our newly homed rescue. She stayed overnight and helped our dog adjust well to the transition. Not only did she care for our dog but also our secondary pet as well. She sent many updates, loved our pets like they were her own, and took great care of our home as well! We came home to a clean space and happy pets. She went above and beyond. Even got some bonus visitors :) This was an amazing experience. Taz is great with animals!! Thanks Taz!! We will definitely book her again anytime we need someone. This just gave us a little more comfort and freedom to travel and feel ok that our pets are having their own little vacation too”

Kristin S.

“We highly recommend Cora to watch your fuzzballs. She showed up on time, was communicative, sent updates, and the puppy was very happy when we got home. Thanks Cora!”

Matthew B.

“Danny couldn’t have been better. He was invested on my dog’s habits, routine, and was willing to take the time to really get to know him and take care of him. As long as he allows, Danny will be my first choice.”

Paulo A.

“Skyler was absolutely amazing with my GSD who wasn't so sure about letting someone new into the house even after meeting her. He was still skeptical about it. However she worked amazing with him and they became friends. I will definitely use her again in the future”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

About: With years of experience caring for animals, I’ve worked with elderly pets, high-energy breeds, and reactive dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care schedules to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and communicative so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for your furry friend! I work from home full-time and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, and updates throughout the day. I intentionally open my schedule on the days I’m fully available, ensuring your pet receives my complete attention and care. Safety and consistency are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk structure, medication needs, and home guidelines. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times and never introduce pets to unfamiliar animals without permission. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away.

“Thanks again Heidi!! Heidi took great care of our Lab Sam and our daughter’s Maltipoo Bruce during the holidays. We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free knowing Heidi had things covered at home.”

“Michaela was above and beyond our expectations! She watched our elderly Great Dane for a week and treated him like a king. We received lots of photos, videos, and daily reports on the activities they did together. It was wonderful knowing our baby was having a great time while we were away. A huge stress reliever. Totally recommend Michaela!!!”

“Best experience!! Danielle was wonderfully reliable, so communicative and left the house in tip top shape. The pups had a blast with her, they were so happy and tuckered out when we got home. Can’t sing Danielle’s praises high enough!”

Finja E.

“Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
