“Gwen is wonderful! My booking was very last minute and I was so thankful that she fit me in. She responded right away to messages and was very professional. She took my dog for a long walk and she was tired when we picked her up :)”
“I found James as a last minute dog-sitter when my original one cancelled on me. Ellie seems like she had a good time with all the play and attention that she could get. I would definitely recommend James to anyone looking for someone look after their fur babies 😄”
“Annie was fantastic! Winnie is not the easiest of dogs and Annie was gentle and patient with her. She found ways around things that Winnie doesn't enjoy, like being picked up, which is necessary because she can't do stairs.”

About: I've always had dogs in my life, and I think they deserve to be treated with love, patience & spoiled too! I'm comfortable with teacup-sized to the biggest dogs. I have a lab named Penne who loves to welcome new friends into our home! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give pups all the love they need during their stay. I usually walk Penne 3x a day in Deering Oaks & let her run around the fenced-in yard if the weather is nice. For puppies I can do more-frequent runs! I am generous with treats, happy to have pets on furniture, and love to give pups love. I understand the concern with leaving your pup behind during work or a trip all too well, so I'm happy to give regular updates & pictures!
“Amazing Sitter!! Theo was very happy with his time. Thank you again!”
“Emma was wonderful and our dog seemed right at home with her. Emma was very responsive to our messages and also send a few pics of our pup to let us know he was happy. While it was a short stay this time, We will absolutely have Emma watch our dog whenever we are in Portland.”
“Alexandra was excellent! She made it very easy. My dogs took to her right away and they were happy, calm pups when I picked them up. would definitely recommend and use Alexandra again!”
“Joshua is great. He and his wife were able to accommodate my 9 week old puppy last minute to watch him in their home during the week. They sent pictures and kept me updated! Will for sure use him again and will recommend for anyone needing someone to watch their pup.”
“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”
“my pup always loves going to see lucy and ikenna! and they always take such great care of him! i always get updates through the day, and he gets lots of love and playtime!”
“Rose was a delight to work with and scout had the best time.”
“Our Archie loves hanging out with Katy and her dog, Zuni, for doggy day care! Katy is very quick to reply, took great pictures and Archie always seems very happy and well-taken care of when we pick him up:)”
“Christine recently took care of our 11-month-old puppy, Roo, for a couple evenings while we were at work. She is awesome! Super responsive, flexible, and loving with our pup. Roo got to play in the snow and go on beach adventures with Christine and her two lovely little nephews. Thank you, Christine!”
“Johanna was great with Meera, who came home tired and happy from her daycare visit. She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times, which was very appreciated while we moved. Thanks, Johanna!”
About: I know the answer to both sides of that question; having gone years without a pet, and then falling in love with a rolly, romping little pug who my partner and I were blessed to have 16 1/2 years. When we lost him, our hearts were broken, (and still are), and our home less rowdy and happy. Knowing I could never replace him, I've decided to open my home to those pups (and some cats) who need a place to camp out while moms, dads and families are away. And that's why I'm here on Rover. I work from home nearly every day and when not, there are cameras to monitor my four-legged visitors and I'm in to let your baby out during the day without fail. I live just off Portland's Eastern Promenade with plenty of room for walks and play. I'm a professional type with a background as a veterinary technician, (during college and a while afterward). The sweeter and more cuddly your baby is, all the better because I love doggy hugs, playing catch and babying friendly, non-aggressive dogs. Feel free to send me a note with any questions! *Please note that rates are based on the portion that the Rovver platform acquires from the fee paid by the customer. The platform takes a healthy amount from sitters and unfortunately, I must factor that in to what I charge for services. :( I have had and cared for dogs most of my life. I have a background as a veterinary technician and caregiver as well as volunteering for shelters and adoption programs. Whether sitting in your home or mine, I'm extremely attentive to established schedules like feeding time, medication schedules and the like. (I don't accept a lot of client site house sitting but when I do, I'm pretty tidy and often like spending time doing small house chores, so you'll never come back to a home more messy than you left it, and likely a bit cleaner. I love giving attention to dogs, (labs, goldens and pugs especially!). Clean/well groomed pets pretty much get the run of the house when it comes to hanging out on the sofa and, maybe even the bed. But your preferences for crating and sleep/rest time, like everything else will be strictly followed.

“Alicia has had pets her entire life, and all of them lived long, happy, and healthy lives. She loves all dogs, and pats attention to what they like/listen to take care of them the way they are used to. She has dog sit for friends, and I can personally say she takes great care of our dog, Penne. She is constantly going above and beyond for her, and blows me out of the water consistently in exercising her, training her, or just generally making her feel happy and safe.”

Ocean Avenue dog parents share their Rover experiences
James was easy to work with and responsible. His dog, Tolula, was great with Koda. I had peace of mind leaving my boy with him! I will definitely hit him up again!
Viva is the best! We appreciate how much she works with Nova on her training, and cares for her like her own. Nova is clearly so comfortable and happy in her care. Would recommend Viva to anyone. Thank you for taking care of Nova, Viva!
Annie was great with Charlie. We had to arrange day care with short notice and she was flexible and understanding. Super appreciative she was able to care for Charlie for the day.
Gwen was exceptional. I appreciate her being so patient and caring with Quincy. This was the first time Quincy stayed at a sitter's home and the new experience caused her a bit of anxiety and confusion. I was also a little nervous. Gwen insisted I shouldn't worry and kept me apprised of how Quincy was doing throughout the evening. When I returned for Quincy she was out for a walk with Gwen and things had worked out fine. Thank you, Gwen!
I didn’t end up using the service due to a change in plans but Nathan was very responsive and helpful. Would recommend.
Colleen was a great help! Very communicative and friendly. I know my pup was in good hands. Thx Colleen!
Lou went to daycare while we had some work done on the house. She had the best time and we got lots of updates on her adventures!
Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Katy and her dog Zuni have been great! I am so thankful to know that my pup is in good hands while he’s there and he always loves going to day care 😊
Totally accommodating and wonderful with our pup. Our three legged dog Cricket had a great day with their dog playing in the back yard and napping on the couch. Thanks again!
Celine was fantastic! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and reliable! She took great care of Ruari and I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Abigail was awesome! She did a great job with my little dude. He has his quirks but she clearly worked some magic because he was calm and happy at pick up! Great communication, and flexibility! She was clearly attentive to him the entire time, and truly seems to enjoy caring for dogs. Will be using her again when in Portland.
Loon is a very high energy pup, and he came back happy and tired! Anderson did great wrangling our crazy dog!
Our 5 month old puppy moose loved daycare with Emilia! After getting neutered he needed a break from daycare to fully recover. Emilia did a great job at keeping him entertained throughout the day, while keeping a close eye on his stitches. Every night we picked up moose he was so tired from all the fun he had! We will definitely be using Emilia again in the future!
