“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my kitty, so I was a little worried! Sunshine was great though! Our drop in was fabulous, I came home to a happy fur baby, and she even brought in packages that got delivered early while I was out of town! Finn is picky with people so I’m very relieved that everything went well and will 100% be using Sunshine again if Finn needs a drop in!”

About: Hi :) ! I’m Liv ! I grew up taking care of my dog, Ivy, and dog-sitting for various neighbors, friends and family. I love dogs and long walks with my whole heart & I would love to look after your pet while you are away for the day or weeks- whatever you need! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, dogs with specific diets, as well as dogs with separation anxiety (like my little one). I also have experience with many different breeds and all their little quirks, such as Frenchies, Australian Shepards, Labs, Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Poodles, Bichon Frises, Maltese, Shiba Inus, Golden Doodles, ( and more! I take every opportunity to dog sit I can get) I can’t wait to meet your dog! xoxo Liv :) I do rover full time! - so I have lots of time to spend with your pups! Your pets are my priority, day or night, week or weekend, I am here for your pets when they need me :) I believe in leaving everything better than I found it! I am tidy, and can be as involved as much or as little in your space as you need! I can send pictures and updates as much or as little as you want! My goal is to make your dog as comfortable as possible without you around- whatever that means or whatever they need.
“Caitlyn was great! Excellent updates and great pictures! 10/10!”
“Evita was a fantastic sitter to my two cats and two chinchillas! My usually shy, tortitude cat opened up to her at lightning speed starting at the meet and greet and thereafter. She was able to bring out the best of my cats while they were feeling uncomfortable and scared from the temporary change. I could tell that the cats missed Evita when we came home, because they both kept searching and meowing around the front door to see if she'd come back! Also, our chinchillas usually get mad and ignore my husband and I when we leave for vacation for a few days, but Evita gave them so much attention and care that they were acting normal and greeted us with squeaks and sniffs! Evita took many pictures, left descriptive messages about what happened and how they were each day, and paid close attention to their behaviors/personalities to keep them happy. She even went above and beyond to keep the chinchilla area tidy from their hay and flying poops outside their cage. Aside from how great she did, Evita is a warm/friendly yet professional sitter and meeting her was absolutely delightful! She was punctual, attentive, a great listener, and thorough. You can tell she knows what she's doing from the start and genuinely loves animals. Your pets are in the best hands if you book with her, and I would recommend her to anyone! Overall, I couldn't be happier with the visits! Thank you so much again!”
About: Since 2015, I've been petsitting dogs and cats (and even small furry friends like guinea pigs!) for friends, family members, and colleagues. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes (but I'll admit I have a soft spot for boxers and labs because I grew up with them). I've worked with both small and large dogs, as well as elderly dogs and dogs that need daily medication. I'm a full time student, so I have a very flexible schedule that I can adjust as needed to accept bookings from folks interested in hiring me. Safety is a top priority for me. You know your dog best, so I will always follow your instructions on how best to maintain your dog's routine to ensure their safety and comfort at home and on walks. I am always careful about making sure doors and other escape routes are secured. I will always send pictures and updates so you know how your dog is doing!
About: Both of our families have our childhood dogs in Denmark - and we miss them! We both love dogs. In Denmark we dog sittet through another site for a couple of years and Maria has regularly dog sittet two dogs for friends in Portland the last year. We love taking them for walks and spoiling them with snuggles! Our main goal while dog sitting is to provide a safe environment for your dog and give you peace of mind. We know we are taking care of your precious baby and that is how we are going to treat your dog. Maria is studying in Denmark and is working from home. Mads is working on-site every day but will contribute to dog sitting after work. We will have plenty of time to play with your dog! We live in an apartment in the Pearl District but we have a doggy lounge in the building and Fields Park is nearby. We want to take your dog on walks and if your dog wants to socialize with other dogs, there are plenty of playmates in the area.
“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!”
“Sandy is the BEST! She is always reliable and my crazy cats love her! Great communication, excellent cat photographer skills, and a genuinely nice human!”
About: Hi! I’m Gage—a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets, I’ve done it all. My own furry family includes Greta, a friendly 3-year-old Shar Pei, and Phil, my laid-back cat. I currently work from home, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day of the week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I live in Portland’s Pearl District, right above Fields Park. This is where I typically take dogs for walks—unless you have another preferred spot! Fields Park offers plenty of green space, safe walking paths, and a fully fenced-in dog park for off-leash fun and exercise.
“Yana is a wonderful caretaker! It’s a relief when I go out of town to know she is checking in on my little cat. She makes sure my cat is comfortable, eating well, and drinking well. Yana provides photos that put my mind at ease too. I’ve booked with Yana several times and I hope to book with her again in the future! Thank you Yana for your care ❤️”
“Shenika went above and beyond with our Olive and is always doing such a great job with her. Olive truly appreciates and likes Shenika since she comes out to play, follows her around the house, and even rolls around the floor showing her belly. She was earned Olive’s and our trust. Shenika is very communicative updating you along every step of the way and provides tons of photos to keep you at ease. Will continue to book with her!”

“Hi! My husband and I have been Olivias neighbor since she was in middle school. A lot has changed since then, but her love for dogs, specifically ours has never faded. Olivia shows great connections with people and animals, and If she’s the one looking after her pet, you are in great hands. Our house has been a zoo at times, Olivia has taken care of our cat, two dogs and bird all at once and still somehow managed to balance class, extracurriculars and her job at a bakery in town. Not only will she love your pets but your pets will love her too”

Darian gets along wonderfully with animals and is experienced with supporting a range of pet personalities and health factors. Having owned pets since childhood, Darian is attuned to pets' ways of communicating in order to keep them safe and happy.”

I can only give the best recommendations to Maria, as one of the very best pets sitters I have seen.”

Last year I was in overseas for my job and Gage took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cat while I was away. He was the only person I would have trusted with my fur-babies! He provided frequent pictures, videos, let me talk to them on the phone - ANYTHING I needed. My pets were in amazing care with him and I would definitely have him watch them again!”
