House Sitting Pleasant Valley

“Miranda stayed with our very shy boy Scout for 9 days. She was amazing and very patient with him. He is terrified of people and by the end she could pet him which is high praise from Scout. She sent daily photos and videos and was very communicative. She even kept my plants alive for me in the hot days. We will definitely have Miranda stay with Scout again! Thanks Miranda.”

“Tiana house sat our 3 month old puppy for the weekend and was not concerned one bit. She is very professional and caring. Treats your pets like her own. Gives updates frequently. Couldn’t ask for a better house sitter while watching over your pet. She is truly the best!!”

“Oh my goodness things could not have gone any better. This was my very first time using Katherine/Rover and needing to leave my pet with someone. The whole idea of not being with my girl for an extended period was so uncomfortable to me. Katherine was so professional. She went above and beyond to help calm my nerves and make this process pleasant. It was so fantastic coming home to a well cared for home and pup. Katherine is not only kind but skilled. She made me want to look for reasons to need her again. When I was missing my girl while on the road. I had pictures and videos of her. I loved seeing my dog smile knowing she was not only ok, she was happy in in good capable hands. It was everything to us to not have to remove my dog from her home when we went somewhere she couldn't be with us. Thanks Katherine. Many thanks for a job well done. My heart is so full.”

“Amir (and Tiana) were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy Nova for an extended period of time and first time using Rover but Amir sent plenty of pictures so we knew she was well taken care of. He checked in about giving her extra treats which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

“Emily was great with our dogs and walked them as requested. We received good communication during our trip and returned to the house as we left it. We would absolutely use Emily again.”

About: A genuine dog lover, I've been around them my whole life. I have experience walking, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after puppers, as well as dog and house sitting experience. Walking dogs on Rover has been a blast so far! I am mostly familiar with larger breeds, labs and retrievers, but also a fan of the smaller pups. They all get love from me!! I am familiar with giving commands and rewards, and love to help train so your puppy can learn fast! I would love to build a relationship with and keep the visits regular so your dog can become familiar and friendly with me as well! I am looking forward to getting to know your dog and the care and exercise they need! Please contact for availability. *I am severely allergic to cats. I am unable to offer housesitting for cat owners unfortunately! I work mostly evenings, I am mostly available for late morning/afternoon walks, but very flexible. Right now, any day of the week works for me. Let me know your needs! I am always respectful of the clients home and belongings. Full attention will be on the dog the whole time I am present. Will always clean up after our walks.

“Alex took great care of Parker on their overnight stay together. She arrived on time and sent cute pics the next day. Would recommend her. Parker was safe and well cared for. Thanks Alex!”

“Donna was a fabulous house sitter. She as extremely communicative, very thorough with how she wanted to ensure that we were comfortable with her with our pup, and sent a TON of pictures and videos clearly indicating our pup was having a great time with her. We would happily have her back ANYTIME!”

Brad M.

“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”

Madison M.

“We love Cedric! I’ve known Cedric for over 4 years, and they treat our furbaby like their own. We get photos daily while we’re away, and meaningful updates on how our 80lb, 7 yr old pup is doing. I’m absolutely at ease knowing our home and our canine is in good hands when Cedric is watching him.”

“Selena was a fantastic and communicative pet sitter. She assured we were updated and that our cat was safe and well taken care of. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip by a week due to illness and Selena went above and beyond to help us out, making a difficult situation much less stressful. Would recommend Selena to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”

Sarah O.

“Excellent dog sitter. Jeff gives great communication and was more than flexible with our less than typical needs with our dog. Will definitely hire again.”

About: Despite being the oldest of two, my parents' first baby was their basset hound, Ginger, adopted as a puppy. So, it should come as no surprise that I grew up understanding that our dogs are equal members of the family. I grew up in Massachusetts alongside our dogs Fiona (a rescue flat coat retriever) and Blu (a rescue basset hound). Fiona and Blu were like sisters to me: them and my sister and I all squished into the backseats of our family car for roadtrips, I came to understand my own anxiety seeing it in Fiona (who, as a rescue, has always been a bit nervous around people or loud noises), and I spent many summers in the backyard running around or lounging in the sun with Blu. My relationships with Fiona and Blu are what allow me to confidently tell you I adore dogs as companions and as unbelievably kind and smart creatures. In caring for your dog(s), I not only bring a deep awareness of how important they are to you, but also an excitement to build my own relationship with your pet and to enrich their lives! In caring for Fiona and Blu in their later years, I know a lot about senior dog care and how to administer medicine to dogs. I also love going on long (or quick!) dog walks and spending time playing with dogs. I also have extensive experience dog walking, sitting, and house sitting with a dog during my time working with dogs and cats while living in San Francisco this year. While caring for your dog, I always adjust my care to their individual specific needs! If you have a high energy dog who pulls, I try my best to sprint or run with them for a few blocks so they can get that energy out. If your dog has a pre-walk or post-walk ritual (treats, belly rubs, practicing commands), I've got it! If your dog needs breaks and water during the walk, I will rest with them and get them a drink until they're ready to go again. Following each sit or walk, I will provide you the pet parent with a detailed note about my time with your pup, telling little stories from our walk and some of their silly behavior, as well as taking photos of them walking and playing. :) I love dogs! I hope to meet yours soon and get to know them. <3 I have just moved cross country to SE Portland and am excited to start providing petcare full-time here! I have open availability to any time on weekdays. I love starting my day with a refreshing morning dog walk just as much as I enjoy an evening walk before your pet (and I) go to sleep. I especially would love to find some repeating weekly or daily walks, but am also beyond happy to provide care for one time sits as well! I accept house sits on a case-by-case basis (usually for less than a week or for high pay); since I've just moved to Portland, I want to settle into my new home a bit more before I am staying for extended periods of time at other houses. I am incredibly devoted to you and your pets' needs, whatever they may be! I will carefully follow any guidelines for watching your dog and how to be with and care for your dog in your home. I am reliable and both know how to problem solve on my own and know when to contact you and communicate a question or situation at hand for your input. Above all, the way I care for your pet follows the way you want me to care for them! Whether this is walking or playing with them until they tire out, or providing company during your work day by sitting with them and reading a book. Following each of my petcare visits, I provide a detailed note about my time with your pet. I will give a play-by-play of what happened from when I first arrive to when I say goodbye and give the little story of any silly or cute behavior your pet got up to during our time together!

“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”

“Camille and Shayla were extremely kind and attentive during their sit with us. They were kind enough to accept a pretty last minute request for an almost 2 week house sit with my babies. They updated me almost daily with pictures and information about the animals. I felt super comfortable and confident with their sit and it made for a very relaxing vacation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking pet sitting.”

“Karen was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She watched our two very different dogs while we were away for my father's memorial — our French Bulldog with separation anxiety and our parents' Saint Bernard, who is very sensitive. Karen handled both of them with so much patience, love, and care, and sent us regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to be fully present when we needed to be most. We came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved pups — and that says it all. Karen is professional, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals and a great person. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pets like family. 🐾”

“Merry was punctual, and a good communicator. She was very friendly and clearly cared about my animals well being, and safety. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“this was our first experience with Rover. Rosanna made it so easy and welcoming from the time of our meet and greet all the way through. She is prompt in communication. We were on an international trip and her presence to watch our dog at our house put us so at ease, when it felt like such a big leap to trust a stranger. We didn’t worry once, our dog Bagel adored her the minute they met and was spoiled with fun engaging care. The house was left spotless. This was a great experience and we hope to be able to work with Rosanna again in the future!”

“Forest did an amazing job watching my dog, Bo, while I was out of town. They kept me up to date on all the happenings around the house and sent daily feedback about Bo. Including pictures and videos! Forest took wonderful care of Bo and asked all the right questions before I headed out of town. I knew they were going to be a perfect sitter and they didn’t disappoint! From quality care, waiting until the heat of the day was past to walk, sending updates and leaving a spotless house… forest was spectacular! If you have the chance to book with forest, I would highly recommend! They took the time to ask about Bo’s needs and my expectations. I knew I was getting quality care with forest. I was welcomed back by one happy healthy pup thanks to forest :)”
