“Harrison is a reliable, attentive, friendly and kind dog walker. He is timely for every walk, always arrives with a smile and bonded with our dog quickly. He gave thorough reports on how each walk went and always asked if there was anything new he should know about our dog when he picked him up each day. He is flexible, when he can be, about availability and longer walks when our dog was up for it. We would highly recommend Harrison’s pet care to anyone- although we selfishly wouldn’t want him so busy we couldn’t get on his schedule!”

“Andy has been walking my dog fairly regularly for over 6 months now and I can’t recommend him enough. He is always timely in his response and communicates very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a loving and responsible dog walker.”

“Alejandro was prompt.Rosie was excited to see him and well exercised after. He was also professional and attentive to our dogs needs and particulars. Will be booking again.”

About: I am a pre-vet college student looking to spend some time taking care of people's furry friends this summer. I have basic animal first aid training, I am pretty well versed in senior care in cats (having had a few of my own), and I LOVE working with/training puppies and young dogs. I'm happy to work with any age, size, energy level, and temperament of animal -- just tell me their favorite treat and we'll get along great :) I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! My rates are negotiable, especially since I'm new to Rover. Message me if you have questions! I'm home for the summer, so excluding a few one-time conflicts, I'm free and clear! I would be happy to set up a repeating walk schedule. I'm happy to work around any comfort level your pet has with new people. I'd prefer to do a meet and greet before taking them out for the first time, just to make sure that your furry friend is comfortable with me (or has at least met me) before we spend some time together.
About: Growing up with dogs all around was and continues to be a fun and deeply rewarding experience. I have cared for dogs (and cats, etc.) since I was a kid, and still often take care of family and friends' pets. Providing enrichment and engagement, anticipating and caring for needs, wrangling wily actors, managing space and time in a positive attitude, and thinking and acting flexibly, attuned to diverse and changing needs, are not only things required from a good dog walker - these are tasks I complete daily as a middle school teacher. I am available all day most Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with some availability on the weekends. During the school year, my availability will mostly be on the weekends, though I will be available during school breaks and holidays. As a dog walker, safety is the most important aspect. I am a very perceptive individual and take care to be aware of all of my surroundings. Any and all information you can share about your pet is greatly welcome.
“Viva truly understands dogs. She absolutely adores them, and they absolutely adore her!!! She exudes positive energy. She asks thoughtful, thorough questions and communicates really well. With Viva, you know your precious dog is in the best possible hands ❤️”

“Katey was fantastic. Our dog is anxious around new people and she made her feel very comfortable. Highly recommend! Responsive and great experience with animals.”

“Meagan is awesome! She was so excited to meet Knox the first time and went above and beyond with him on their walks! We really appreciated the pictures and notes from their time together. Meagan also shows up promptly and left me with a tired and happy puppy! Highly recommend!”

“Jesika was such a huge help, always showed up with a smile, my puppy was overjoyed to see her and she was very communicative through our time. Would definitely hire her again.”

About: I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for years. I am experienced with small/medium sized dogs of all ages. I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate special requests that are within my skill set. I also like to form long term relationships with pets and their families to ensure consistent care and the best experience for all involved. I am currently available 24/7 for my dog, we like to go to the beach, walks in the woods, naps and daily training exercises. I am flexible to work with your dogs needs and schedules! I'm happy to accommodate to the best of my capabilities the care and routines to which your pets are accustomed. Feeding, walks, meds, certain special care and sleeping arrangements will all be tailored to your pets needs to ensure the least stressful experience for your four legged friends!
“Tiffany has done a great job with Madison! She is very responsive and checks in often. He looks forward to his walks and tlc time with her. Tiffany has been very flexible and patient with Madx especially since he has had a slight muscle injury and sometimes needs a modified walk. Would book again and again!”

“Jennifer is fantastic!! She has been a huge help to us with walks for our new family member, Oreo. She is very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs, and super prompt and efficient. She takes awesome pet photos too!! 🐾 We are so happy to have found Jennifer on Rover.”
“Matt was great! He was communicative from the meet and greet through a full week of 2x day walks, he always provided an update on how things were going. He was caring and patient with my dog and punctual for all walks! Thank you Matt!”


“I am very grateful for Katherine! My 15yo son who usually walks our dog woke up this morning with a very sore throat and not feeling well. Katherine responded quickly and agreed to walk Duke on very short notice. She arrived on time and was so nice. I definitely would ask her walk Duke in the future.”

About: I have been a pet carer since I could hold a spoon and scoop cat food onto a plate. My family had two cats for my entire childhood; they lived to 18 and 19 years old! I have cat-sat for friends and family for all my life and through this have become extremely comfortable with cats—from the grumpy to the cuddly. I have given cats medicine in most forms that don't require a certification (pills, syringe, in food, inhalers, ointments... just no injections!) and have sitted for kittens, cats with illnesses like chronic respiratory issues, cancer, and severe skin allergies, and have no queasiness when it comes to the realities of life with cats! With dogs, I have more of the proper pet-sitting experience. That has really ramped up in the last year, since we moved to Portland and into an apartment that is pet-friendly. I have loved getting to know each dog and adjusting so they have the best time possible (it can't be easy leaving home for a stranger's house!). For example, one dog tends to have a much better, more peaceful day if I get him out to the woods for a run/walk in the morning before work (who wouldn't!) Another loves to cuddle, so we put a blanket on the couch so that she can snuggle while we watch TV at night with constant pets. Another is whip-smart, so I try to make sure we do extra enrichment/play time. With all animals, I try to go above and beyond and see them as individuals with distinct personalities and needs. :) I am a work-from-home journalist who would absolutely love some company, playtime, cuddles, and more reasons to get outside during the day. Sadly, I travel too much right now to adopt a pet of my own. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to bond with and share my space with an animal! My work schedule is incredibly flexible, but in general I am home all day, with some sort of exercise in the morning that I would be happy to make part of the pet sitting experience, a remote work day wherein I have a lot of freedom to take breaks. I also have a small porch, a medium-sized fenced yard, a larger non-fenced yard, and a beautiful suburban area to walk with nearby parks. I am often away from home for a few hours in the evening, but I am flexible and happy to stay home with an animal if necessary. Flexibility is the name of the game! We live in a very safe area, in a pet-friendly home. It is just my partner and I, two young professionals, in an apartment that regularly hosts animals for boarding. As a previous long-time pet owner and sitter, I am aware of the best practices regarding animal safety (depending on the animal). I prioritize comfort and respect with animals. I think of animals as a member of the family, and will care for their interest and safety as I would a child who was in my care.

Ashley is fantastic! She’s incredibly responsive, reliable, and my pups adored her from the moment they met. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands when she’s caring for them. I always feel confident they’re getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. Highly recommend!!

Aaron was great! He came to meet Rogue a few days before and she instantly seemed comfortable with him. I was able to go on my trip knowing she would be well cared for. I recieved a text when the walk was completed saying they had a great walk with no Issues. I highly reccomend Aaron.
Brittany has been walking my dog Clover when I'm working and she is a fantastic! Clover is always very excited to see her when she arrives. I have two security cameras to monitor my dog throughout the day and I can see just how much she loves it when Brittany shows up. I would definitely recommend her to others. She is very friendly, responsible and trustworthy.

Barbra was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in great hands. She was kind, attentive, and clearly cares so much about the animals she looks after. My dog was happy and comfortable with her right away, and I really appreciated her communication and care. I would definitely recommend Barbra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

I am very grateful for Katherine! My 15yo son who usually walks our dog woke up this morning with a very sore throat and not feeling well. Katherine responded quickly and agreed to walk Duke on very short notice. She arrived on time and was so nice. I definitely would ask her walk Duke in the future.
