“Elisabeth makes Louise feel so welcome and at home. Louise is so excited to get out of the car there and I am so at ease knowing she is so well cared for. Highly highly recommend Elisabeth!”

“Michaela has done a great job watching Emmie. Pick up and drop off are super easy, communication is super clear, and we got plenty of updates throughout the stay. And Emmie loooves hanging out with their pup, Gus!”

“I recommend Jake. He was friendly and attentive to my instructions for Jazzy. He sent me pictures of her regularly and she was happy and in good shape when I picked her up. I would leave Jazzy with Jake again!”


“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”

“Krista was so fantastic! My dog Dean can sometimes have separation anxiety but he was immediately calmed by Krista and it was clear from the photos she sent that he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Krista was incredibly warm and communicative, and treated Dean like he was her own (such as allowing him to cuddle in the bed!). I definitely plan to reach out to Krista anytime I need a dogsitter in Portland.”

“Viva once again provided a second home for our sweet boy. He trusts her implicitly as do we. She’s super conscientious about making sure he’s comfortable, active and well loved. And she always sends us the best photo updates!”

“Lindsay did such a great job with our pug, Chloe. She sent photos, played with her, took her for long walks. When we picked Chloe up - she was perfectly calm and clearly felt comfortable and lived with Lindsay.”

“This was my first time ever boarding my dog so I was pretty nervous. Lucero & Ikenna were very communicative and sent me pictures of Jax daily. Jax had a great time which obviously made me happy. Would def book again!”

“This is my second time booking with Anne and just like the first time it was great. My dog was very well cared for and did not want to leave! Anne sent over steady updates and was very communicative with us before, and during. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Benny was sad for 2 days after I brought him home from his "vacation"!! I think he had more fun at Vicky's than I had in Mexico! I'm sure he can't wait until the next time I go away; I hope she'll be available again. As we drove away from her house, he stared out the window and whined! He almost never whines! Her dog and mine played for days straight until their energy ran out. She has a fantastic fenced backyard and plenty of dog toys (all of which Benny promptly pulled out during our meet-n-greet). She also sends photo updates while you're gone, which were so cute. Awesome experience! Hope we can do it again.”

“Rose was amazing! We feel so fortunate to have come across Rose on Rover. We immediately felt comfortable entrusting her with our Maggie. Rose kept us up to date with cute photos and messages throughout Maggie’s stay. She handled Maggie and all her issues with ease and a smile. She even won our stubborn Maggie’s affectation which is high praise from Maggie! I would 100% use Rose’s service again and recommend her to everyone.”

“We had a great experience leaving our dog Pebbles with Morgan overnight. Morgan is friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept in touch and assured us that Pebbles was settling in nicely. In the car on the way home, Pebbles told us she had a blast! We'll definitely book with Morgan again. Highly recommend!”

“Emily, Kieran, and their lovely dog Leon are absolutely amazing. They took fantastic care of my pup Sally and made her feel like she was part of the family. They’re communicative, thoughtful, and absolutely rockstar sitters. Thank you!”

“Yuki was so great with our dog, Sadie! Her apartment is perfectly set up to welcome a dog and had toys at the ready. She kept Sadie entertained while we discussed her routine and needs. We felt very relieved to have found Yuki for Sadie's overnight care and we got some happy pictures of her while we were away. Yuki was very communicative and we appreciated her flexibility on timing of the drop offs and pick up. We look forward to having Yuki care for Sadie again. Thank you!”
