Pet Sitting Portage Bay

About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.

“Shan was so great, disco loved her check ins and play time! She was very flexible and communicative, giving me plenty of peace of mind knowing that he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs since I was a kid! Additionally, I’ve worked at a Puppies & Yoga studio where I spent most of my time with puppies. Im currently fresh out of college, so I have plenty of time to dig-sit/walk your pets! On weekends, I am available post noon. I’m always vigilant while walking dogs, especially while interacting with other pets and people, and making sure they are leashed at all times. I closely follow your exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency with your routine.

About: I dog and cat sit for friends, and am on rover to get to know more dogs before I get my own! I love to walk around the neighborhood and would love to bring your dog with me. Available primarily for walks and drop ins. I work full time but have a flexible schedule, particularly in the afternoons. I love to run to a friend’s house to feed their pets while they’re away, or walk their dogs along the lake. I primarily do walks and drop ins. I am happy to come to your home to feed your pets or bring your dog for a walk!

“Such a nice couple! They were so sweet to our Sammy and even set up a new litter box for us! They also cleaned up and vacuum. They sent us lots of pics which was amazing because we were worried about our boy! Thanks!”

Josepha C.

“Sami took such great care of our two kittens! Great communication, thorough in learning your pet’s needs and preferences, and lots of pics. We came home to happy and well cared for kitties and will absolutely book Sami again!”

Angela W.

“Angela takes such good care of our cat! Our cat was very anxious while we were away and Angela was very attentive in making sure she felt safe, was well fed, and got lots of attention. Angela is also very proactive in communicating and sharing updates. I highly recommend entrusting Angela to care for your pet!”

Laura C.

“Maria went above and beyond for my 2 rabbits. I didn't have to worry about them while I was away because Maria followed all of my care instructions and sent updates and photos every day. Thank you!”

Helen L.

“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

Aubrey F.

“Did a wonderful job looking after our cats for two weeks! I’m so impressed she got both cats (with very different personalities) to love her so much!”

Danielle D.

“Susy was great! This was my first time using Rover, and she made it a great experience. I have two old lady dogs. Both are sweet with humans, but one is a problem child when it comes to being around strange dogs. Having Susy come to my home allowed me to avoid having the problem child in a crowded doggy daycare, and they could just chill in their own home while we were away. She sent me lovely pics and descriptive report cards of each visit. Will definitely be having her come hang with my old lady dogs again if she'll have us!!”

Meredith D.

“Laura was able to cat and tortoise sit for us with just a few days notice. Both animals were very content when we arrived back home and she sent lots of photos to keep us updated. We will definitely have Laura back in the future.”

Betty S.

“Erin was an amazing sitter!! She took such good care of our kitties while we were out of town, and our shy guy came down to hang out with her (usually he hides if we aren't home). We would highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies while they're away. Thanks so much, Erin!”

Julia W.

“Tori was great with my two senior kitties! Very responsive, flexible, and diligent. She has a calming presence my boys really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been watching friends and neighbors pets casually for the past 5 years or so. This includes dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. I have the most experience with cats--feeding them medicine, special foods, scooping liter boxes of all shapes and sizes, and dialing in on their favorite toys. I have experience caring for dogs (walks, feeding, belly rubs, poop wrangling) but if the dog is high stress or has behavioral issues it would be best to go with a more experienced dog person--want to be transparent about that, it's best for everyone. I have a flexible 9-5 work schedule and can pop in to visit pets in the Eastlake neighborhood Tuesday-Fridays. My weekends are also quite flexible to visit pets or stay overnight with pets in North Capitol Hill. I closely follow the rules and guidelines set up by the pet owners when I care for an animal. The safety and comfort of the pet is my utmost concern. I love animals and I want them to feel that they are in the care of a trustworthy person while their people are away. I am happy to communicate with pet owners and much as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. My youngest memories include our family Labs who were sweet silly, treat-loving dogs. Almost fifteen years ago, my family adopted Clover, a Schnauzer poodle who loves to sit outside and bask in the sun. Recently, my family adopted Theo, a chocolate Lab who is a silly boy who loves playing with squeaky toys and running outside. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, or simply relaxing by their side. Throughout my childhood, I would often cat and dog sit for my neighbors, making sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals, and appreciate that each pet has their own personality and boundaries. I have some training skills, and have taken care of senior pets as well. I’ve watched over more reactive dogs, but prefer interacting with dogs that are calmer and approachable. I’m currently working remotely part-time so I have flexibility in my schedule and would love to care for your furry friend. I can accommodate for most days, with some limitations Monday and Wednesday evenings. Let’s chat more about your needs and see what we can schedule. While caring for pets, I try to keep their routine consistent and follow all instructions you provide to ensure that pets stay safe and happy. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and movement based on their needs and personality. I also keep the home tidy and clean. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates on how things are going. My ultimate goal is to make sure both the pet and owner feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: My name is Sofia and I have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. I have looked after pets of friends and family, and have my own little fluffy soulmate of 13 years, my cat Lily. As your pet's caretaker, you can rely on me to bring a lot of love, enthusiasm, attentiveness and a great experience for your best friends. I know how important it is to recognize each pet's needs and quirks, and I look forward to learning all about the different ways to accommodate that. I understand the anxiety in trusting someone else to take care of your beloved pet, but rest assured they will be treated as if they were my own. I look forward to spending time with your fluffy buddies! I am a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, so I have general availability to do walks, overnight stays, or pop in to make sure your pet is taken care of. Whatever your pet requires, whether it is play time inside or outside your home, or walks, I am glad to be of service to your needs.

“Roman has been great to work with! He is very flexible and has helped us at short notice, on more than one occasion. He is also very responsive and communicative. Scoob and Porkchop are always happy to see him.”

Jordan C.

“Catherine was a perfect pet sitter! Executed directions as intended, communicated proactively, went above and beyond to help clean up unexpected messes, and sent me pics of my fur baby while I was gone. I’ll definitely be hiring her again!”

Katie K.

“Caroline was great with my 2 year old cat, Sophie. She was very responsive when I first booked her services. During the weekend away from home, she made sure Sophie had cleaned water and litter box. She played with Sophie and sent me pictures all the time. I'll definitely contact Caroline again.”
