“I booked last minute and Michaela was super responsive and helpful. Michaela and her partner sent lots of updates and pics. Emmie came home very happy and seemed very comfortable. Would book again!”
“Gwen was great! We took a last minute holiday trip to Portland and she was able to watch our dogs last minute while we tooled around the city. She lives in a cute, very clean condo about 10 mins from Old Port. Picked up two very happy pups!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Willow with Alma! She was very communicative before and during the booking which always makes the Rover process feel easier and more reassuring. Alma’s dog, Birdy, is super sweet as well. Willow seemed comfortable right away and according to Alma settled in more as the day went on. Great yard, deck for doggie lounging and overall set up from the house (super easy to see the yard from most parts of the downstairs). We will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“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 😄”
“Alexandra was wonderful and an affectionate sitter! She accommodated our crazy schedule when setting up our initial meet and greet. The minute she saw Brooklyn, and Brooklyn saw her, we could tell they were going to enjoy each other's company. Alexandra mentioned her prior experience with dogs and having always been a "dog person". During our trip out of state, Alexandra coordinated closely with our friend who had been caring for Brooklyn long term, while she took Brooklyn for a couple days to allow for our friends to attend a few activities they had planned. I look forward to booking Alexandra again!”
“Alexa was awesome! It was clear Archie had a great time with her all day. He came back super happy and calm-so he’d been exercised and walked-he’d been drinking lots of water and she sent pictures and was very responsive! Definitely recommend Alexa 10/10!”
“Rose made our Buddy feel right at home, he had a great time playing with his new friend while we were out on a whale watching cruise. We really appreciated the updates and photos while in her care. We would highly recommend her services!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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:)”
“Jules is so nice. She's welcoming, communicative and easy to talk to. After meeting and chatting for just a minute, we felt totally confident leaving our dog with her for the day. Everything went smoothly, everyone was happy and we'll definitely do it again!”
“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!”
About: I'm dedicated to your dog's well-being and offer genuine love, playful engagement, and a safe home and environment to ensure a stress-free experience. I have been a dog owner my entire life and I know how to read the body language of dogs. I nurture trust so that your dog is as happy here as s/he is in your home. We have two rescue dogs here in the home, Phoebe and Canela. Phoebe has been with us since she was a tiny chiweenie puppy six years ago, and Canela is a two year old sweetheart that was starving/living on the streets in Oaxaca, Mexico. Little did I know when I fell in love with her that the only way to get her home was to have her driven here in February! I am a writer and have a small gardening & vintage business which allows me to be at home close to full-time. Because I have a fenced in yard, I leave the door to my back porch open and our dogs go in and out of the home as they wish. I am here to monitor them, of course! I have a big fenced yard and two dogs that love to play and go for walks on the Greenbelt which is across the street. When they are inside, they sleep like queens on the couch or bed. Their favorite activity when they are not playing is to stare out the front window from the bed and bark at all the dogs that dare walk by our home.
“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.”
About: Hi my name is Rachel! I’m excited to meet you and your furbaby! I have a 7 year old husky and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have professional experience working at a dog training school which included training, walking, feeding, and playing the dogs. This experience gave me knowledge that will keep your dog safe and engaged with my care. There I dealt with hundreds of different dogs. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. FOR DAYCARE - my husband and I both work remotely M,T,F. Accepting dogs these days in our home. We have a large fenced in back yard, secure enough that keeps our husky in. Your pup can hang out there all day or in our home. I also love cats so much and love hanging out with them! I’ll go at their own pace and give as much pets and play time as they’ll have. Owning a husky and working for a dog daycare center has exposed me to many different temperaments. My own dog can be very high energy and difficult at times, so I’m used to it all!
“Johanna is flexiable and a delight to work with! My dog Cheena noticed we were going back the next day and pulled me to her front door. Also, Cheena was calm and sleepy after a day with Johanna--such a relief to have my girl so well taken care of!”

Ocean Avenue dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hailey was incredible with our dog Scout! She worked so graciously with us last min to watch our dog for an entire day. She was professional, compassionate, and extremely considerate to our dog’s quirks. She made sure both our pup and I were comfortable with a new sitter and to say the least Scout adored her! She thoughtful throughout the day sending updates and checking in. We are beyond appreciative and are excited to return to Portland to have Scout stay with Hailey again! A million thank yous!
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!
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.
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!
