“Our pup Maggie had a wonderful time staying at Anne's house while we were away for the weekend!! She enjoyed the great backyard and time playing with Anne's sweet dogs, and got lots of pets and attention from Anne and her husband. We could tell she was having a great time from all the adorable pics we got! Maggie gives her stay at Anne's a 5 star review! :)”

“Sridevi took wonderful care of my dog, Sasha. I had to book with her at the last minute because of a funeral and she could not have been more accommodating. Sasha was so content at her house in such a short period of time, I was very impressed. Sasha does not usually warm up to people so quickly, so I knew she was in good hands. 🐾”

“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”


“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marna communicated perfectly throughout, sending us daily photos that showed just how much love and attention our dog was receiving. He was clearly treated like part of the family—when we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and completely at ease. It was obvious he felt right at home. If you’re looking for a place where your dog will truly be loved and cared for, Marna is the one.”

“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”

“Elisabeth was the absolute best! Lots of pictures and great communication- my doggo had the biggest smile in every picture and video. She was very gracious accommodating my last minute request and my doggo was so happy at pick up. We will definitely be booking again with her!”

“Jake was amazing with my dog, Ridge! From the very start he was friendly and easy to communicate with, and he kept me updated the whole time with plenty of photos. Ridge looked so happy and well-cared for in every picture, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Jake was professional, reliable, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. I’d absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”


“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”

“I was nervous to leave Maisey for a whole week, but I felt comfortable after meeting Molly in person, and all the photo updates I received confirmed that Maisey had a good time. Highly recommend!”

“Viva is awesome. Timely, communicative and thoughtful with her questions. She made sure all the boxes were checked in terms of my dogs needs and habits. Pictures and updates everyday, which was awesome! She and her partner took the time to bring her on some great adventures too. Totally thankful for a no-stress experience so I could enjoy my vacation!”

“Elvis had an AWESOME time with Christine and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She frequently sent photos of him and he always looked comfortable and happy. I will definitely be bringing Elvis to Christine again!”

“Celine did a great job with Buda while we were gone for about a week! Some health concerns came out but she handled it very professionally and Buda looked so happy during his stay. We got frequent updates and photos, everything we could ask for.”

“I recently went on a cruise and booked John as a pet sitter to watch my dog, Jim, at his house. John was awesome! He suggested we meet up before my trip to make sure that Jim warmed to him and his dog Charlie. This made the drop off way easier, when we actually left for vacation. John is warm, kind and an obvious dog lover. His dog Charlie is very mild mannered and socialized with my dog very well. John kept my dog for 8 days. When I went to pick Jim up, I could tell that Jim genuinely liked John. I will definitely use John again!”
“Christina did a great job with Crosby. I trusted that he was well cared for and got lots of love and attention. Normally a very stressed out dog, he seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”

About: For many years in San Francisco, I was a house and Pet Sitter. It started off with just doing it for friends and then word got around and I had a couple of regular gigs. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have owned several different types since I was a child. I have a 13 year-old daughter who also loves animals and would love to accompany me at times if you are OK with that too. Hello, I currently work part-time so I have most mornings and evenings to feed, walk and play with your critters. I live in Portland so prefer things that are in the town or nearby. I am open to house sits and boarding animals within 45 minutes of Portland. I do have two cats so if I am boarding, they need to be OK with that. If at your home… I will do your routine for the animals. If at my home…I currently live in a large house, I have a yard that is not fenced in that they can go out to the bathroom and on leash in, as well as the Back cove two blocks away and a safe residential neighborhood to walk in. I love taking dogs to dog parks and on adventures to walking trails and beaches. I have two cats that have been around other animals and after warming up seem to do well coexisting.
Ocean Avenue dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for better care for Phoebe while we were out of town. She was treated like family, and it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. We’re so appreciative of the updates with pictures and the thoughtful care she received. It made being away so much easier knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Muriel and her family again.

Jenna was amazing, we booked last minute for our energetic, large lab after our planned care fell through. It was obvious through pictures and communication that Mogul was well cared for, getting lots of walks, runs and adventure and that Jenna was staying consistent with our training. We couldn’t be happier and will 100% rebook with her in the future .

This was my first time leaving Mini since her diabetes diagnosis - and I was anxious. While much better controlled, her blood sugar still can rapidly change causing aggressive behavior. I shared all this information with Marna and her response was empathy for Mini's situation. Marna also monitored Mini's blood sugar with via the app and Mini's glucose monitor. (Which allowed me to also monitor) Marna did GREAT with Mini (and with me)! By the start of day two, Mini was snuggling with Marna. Marna kept me up to date via text messages and photos. It is difficult to find someone to watch a dog with special needs, but Marna was a great find!

Stephen for the win yet again! When our naughty dog set herself up for stomach issues by eating many, many Cliff bars, Stephen took all the right actions by checking labels, letting us know what happened, and asking if we’d like him to take further action. He’s a gem of a sitter, to be sure!

My dog Juno loved Grace the minute she met her! She got to go on lots of walks on the Eastern Prom, and appeared to eat very well, which isn't always the case if she is feeling anxious being away from us. I so appreciated the daily pics Grace sent of Juno out walking and/or snuggled up and clearly cozy at Grace's place. Plus Grace is just clearly a very kind, lovely person. I would love to book her again in the future, and definitely recommend her to others!
