Top rated Old Town-Chinatown pet sitters

“As always, Sunshine is communicative, attentive, and reliable. I was away for a lengthy trip and felt so at ease to have Sunshine care for my fur and scale babies while I was gone. There’s no other pet sitter I would rather contact to help out again in the future!”


“Desiree gave my cat so much attention, play time, and care —I could not recommend her more. I came home after a week of travel, and despite his black catness he was an absolute gem (not something I can say typically).”


“Kateri welcomed the opportunity to watch over my best friend. Echo took to Kateri’s approach of care so much that I could clearly see from the pictures she sent each day. It was a long stay too, for a 2+ week, twice a day drop in visit. She was responsive, professional, and exceeded our expectations for a guardian while we were away. Thanks, Kateri! You crushed it.”


“Johnny is always accommodating and helpful when coming in to check on our cat. It’s wonderful to have a sitter that is trustworthy and will go above and beyond when needed.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Maya! She took great care of our babies and was very mindful of their specific needs. It’s always tough to leave our fur babies behind, but Maya’s detailed updates and photos made us feel very comfortable and able to relax while we were gone.”


“Midory was incredible! Was on a trip for 2 weeks + and she took pictures daily, Shelby loved her. Shes a shy one and Midory managed to have her open up after a few days. Definitely will book her again!! Your pet will be in great hands. ❤️”

“Vanessa was a fantastic caretaker for my mother's cat. She was able to accommodate us last minute just after Christmas for a 12-day trip. The daily photos were a high point and let us enjoy our vacation without worry. Would definitely recommend and/or hire her again. Thanks Vanessa!”


“I had a difficult situation come up with a client who needed pet care while she was in the hospital. The process of getting Annie set up for regular care involved a lot of people and was not the typical booking, but Annie was so accommodating and went the extra mile. She ended up watching Midnight for three weeks in a row and did not complain a single time. She was so attentive and helpful. I don't know what would have happened to Midnight if she had not been there to look after him. We are so grateful. Thank you and will definitely book again!”


“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”


“Celeste was amazing and really went above and beyond with taking care of our Ming while we were out of town for a week! We had her check on Ming twice a day and Celeste provided us a report and photos for each visit. Ming is 15yo and very finicky with just about everything and everybody. We could tell from the photos that she was content and we were so reassured by the level of care and reporting provided. We came home to our apartment just as we left it with a clean litter box and a happy kitty! We highly recommend Celeste!”


About: Started caring for animals around 8 years old with my family’s two golden doodles. We made sure their thirteen years were full of love, health, and fun adventures! Very familiar with pups of all different sizes, personalities, and medical conditions, while meeting their needs for exercise, diet, and attention. While I now live in the city, I miss having those interactions and trips outdoors with a furry friend! I have a very standard work schedule of 7:30am-4pm weekdays. After full days in front of the computer, I like to spend a lot of my weekends and evenings adventuring through the NW areas to get out and about. I'd love to have a walking buddy while I get my steps in and enjoy the fresh air. I average about 12,000 steps a day on these walks if you have a fluffy friend who likes to be on the move! Or even one who prefers to lounge in a park. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my sister in the Pearl district. We have an open living area and are located right next to multiple parks. Easy access to The Fields Park! I also have a car for commuting to other parks and natural spaces to walk.

“I had a great experience with Sandy and would highly recommend her services. She was friendly and took the time to get to know my dog before she started here service period. She updated me daily on walks, feedings and cuddle time. She went above and beyond my expectations. Will hire her again!”


About: I’m an upbeat guy who loves dogs. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they have been busy. I work part-time as a freelance video editor and am looking to help out busy dog parents with walks or check ins in my spare time. My flexible schedule allows me to focus and provide quality, one-on-one care for your pup. I’ve watched and walked many dogs in Portland. I will get to know your pet and make sure they are in good care and that their needs are met.


“Honestly, if you’re looking for a sitter look no further. Kate is without a doubt an attentive, sweet & communicative person. She’ll look after your dog like her own & keep you updated. 10/10 will book kate again.”



“Trace did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She was always professional and let me know how each visit went. My mind was at ease knowing the boys were being well taken care of. When I returned home my boys came out looking relaxed and it’s definitely a sign they were kept happy.”

Old Town-Chinatown pet parents share their Rover experiences
If you are looking for someone who is caring and experienced, look no further; Lucinda has been such a blessing to my senior, blind, fur baby. She takes her time respecting your pet so that they can get to know each other, which demonstrates her star sitter commitment. I have felt at ease knowing that my fur baby is well taken care of and have appreciated her kind hearted nature 🥹 Thank you Lucinda!

Dannielle is the best cat sitter, no exaggeration. She genuinely loves all the animals she meets and cares for, she gives my cats gifts every time she comes over to cat sit, and she takes the most gorgeous photos and videos ever! Honestly she should be everyone’s first choice when planning a trip, short or long.

Trace was very consistent, communicative, and professional while caring for my cat over a long weekend. She was patient and unfazed by his quirks, and attuned to his shifting comfort levels across her few visits. She went out of her way to keep things tidy (depositing litter box waste outside, sweeping!). Definitely recommended. Thank you, Trace!

Sydney has taken care of our kitties before and once again did a stellar job taking care of our kitties while we were away. We had a malfunctioning litter robot that she went above and beyond to deal with, even going out to buy extra litter when needed. We are so grateful to her for her amazing care!!

Courtney was amazing! She left detailed notes each visit and stayed extra time to ensure our elderly cat ate all of her food. She went above and beyond cleaning up our cats throw up multiple times and we are so appreciative! The photos she left were so sweet and made us feel like we were there with our babies! I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone! Thank you so much!

August was fantastic with our older cat and they went above and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of. August was able to get her to take her pills each day (which can sometimes be tricky). They were patient, caring, and gave us lots of info at each check in about how she was doing. I never had to worry with August taking care of our cat and we would have them back as our pet sitter any time. Highly recommended!!
