House Sitting in Portal Inn

“Shannon did an excellent job taking care of our dogs, cat, chickens, and our home. We had no worries at all for the week we were out of town. She sent us daily photos and updates and we never wondered how our furbabies were doing. She even took our dogs for a daily car ride in our van.”

“Rebecca was wonderful with my two super-sized dogs. Great communication and photos, very patient with their demands to cuddle with her (which is no easy feat when there is 300lbs of dogs sharing your bed) and understood the challenges (and sometimes unexpected behavior) that rescue dogs have as baggage. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and two cats over the weekend. She came over multiple times to let my elderly dog out to prevent accidents, took her on walks, played with my kitties, watered my plants outside, and even picked up a new container of treats for my kitties since they were running out. Will definitely book again!”

“Elly did an amazing job of taking care of our dog in our home while we were away! Our dog warmed up to her immediately. She was knowledgeable and kind.”

“Antonio is fantastic! I do not underestimate the extra challenges in caring for two (one a giant breed) rescue dogs who have the run of my home. They not only took to Antonio immediately, he kept me posted during my time away with anecdotes and beautiful photos of them. When I arrived home, my dogs were happy to see me but rather sedate, which is always a sign they had a good time while I was away, rather than being anxious. As a huge bonus, Antonio left my home in better shape than he found it. I never presume anyone needs to straighten up when I am gone, but arriving to this after being on the road for days was just so kind! Thank you, Antonio!”

“Mindy and her husband arrived promptly at our hotel to care for our dog while we attended a memorial service over 4 hrs long. They fed, walked and spent quality time together, and sent several photos to me . I would highly recommend them , especially to anyone traveling and in need of hotel Pet care in their absence, at a reasonable rate.”

“Ever since I’ve known Jack (since birth) he has loved animals. He’s kind, responsible and unbelievably hard working. I think he would make an awesome pet sitter/walker.”

“Olga took amazing care of both our house and our pup while we were gone! She truly loves animals and took our old girl’s quirks in stride. She also took amazing care of our home. It’s such a relief to know your animals are in good hands while your away, not just being fed but also getting tons of love and attention. We love Olga and will use her over and over again!!”

“My little chihuahua warmed up to Regena so quickly. She made him feel comfortable and cared for in his own home. She provided daily updates that I appreciated and put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Gloria has once again taken wonderful care of my babies, one of whom currently has special medical needs. When they are in her care I feel confident they will get plenty of TLC and I am given regular updates which are much appreciated!”

“OMG! My kitties loved Crystal! We got lots of photos and updates during our trip. We made an excellent choice with Crystal and she will be our go-to sitter from now on. The kitties and we feel like we have gained a new member of our family. LOVE HER!”

“Amber has watched our pets on a number of occasions. They absolutely love her! She keeps us updated throughout the entire time and always gives them so much love. It makes leaving our fur babies that much easier.”

“LOVE this sitter. She was communicative, accommodating and so sweet. I had a last minute need and not only did she make herself available but she kept me posted constantly and even kept me posted on my pets that did not need sitting. She was awesome and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“Sherry was a roommate of mine and would care for my dog when I went on trips! She loves dogs and is super dependable. I never worried once about my pup’s safety and care when leaving her with Sherry! I highly recommend Sherry without any reservations!”

“I have a 4 year old cat and a 6 year old lab. Whenever I leave to LA or Sac for work I am confident my pets are being checked on frequently and fed and happy. I’ve known Alex for years, so I am never worried about leaving my home on him, because he’s always been respectful with my pets and my place AND he always leaves my place cleaner than it was somehow , Idk how he does it 😄”

About: Besides growing up with pets in the home and having a couple of my own, I have been with Rover a year now and have gotten a lot of experience with each different dog with their own little personalities. I think it is pretty special that their whole world revolves around being with you and getting love and attention from you. You can’t even say that about your husband, wife, parents children or siblings, so dogs are quite unique and very special that way. I understand a pets needs in general and am pretty good with interpreting behavior as well as body language of an animal to assist in tending to their needs. I am going back to school to get a business degree but it’s all online so I will be able to be home to do Rover Boarding. I do not have any children in my home or pets and only board one dog at a time unless an owner has more than one dog I am willing to take them as well. You can give me an itinerary to follow if that is what you are comfortable with or I will just go by your profile information. I don’t crate your pet unless they are trained that way and pretty much I try to make them feel at home as possible. I have a back yard that is fenced for potty breaks and a little exercise. Your pet will be free to roam my house and all rooms that are open as they please and of course are all safe as well. If staying over night and your pet is usually in a kennel at night either at home or just when they are away from home that is fine but I do not have any already in my home so you will have to bring it with your pet. I am currently just working part time doing my own business so I can set my own hours of availability. I will have a schedule set for my day that includes plenty of pet friendly activities, such as going on walks, playing in dog parks with others dogs (if your dog is socialized for that) otherwise I would happy to entertain your pup at my own with games and enrichment activities and toys. I never overbook myself where I have too many pets at once as that would be counterproductive for both dog and dog care provider. I do not have any pets of my own, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t ever or don’t want them I just don’t believe in having a pet (dog special especially) in the city it’s fair to them unless there is plenty of land for them to run around in. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own though and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve as I’m sure you do. I am currently only taking one pet at a time so I can just be focused on them especially if they have special needs. I would be open to taking 2 pets only if it is to not separate them because they are used to being together and would be more comfortable them. I don’t crate pets unless that it’s what they are used to and in that case you would need to bring their crate with you. I have a doggie bed but you are welcome to bring their bed if that’s what they are used to.

“This was my first booking with Jason and I was very pleased. He showed up early for a quick turnover before we departed for the day and kept my pups entertained for the day. My babies were very photogenic for their multiple photo shoots and were tuckered out by the end of the day. Already planning more bookings. A+ service!!”

About: I’ve always understood dogs better than I understand cat humans and so it would be a dream to be able to work in the pet care field once again. I excel in an environment that allows me to work with dogs, and even cats, and I always put their knees and wants as my main priority. Choose me for your pet care and you won’t be disappointed, guaranteed!! I have a pretty open schedule and I’m available anytime needed. And even after I get busy, I excel at juggling life with my job, especially I’m passionate about the job. As of right now, I do not have a home I can bring dogs to or board at because I am in a small apartment with my two dogs, I am moving soon but until then I can just do pet sitting at the clients house and dog walking

“Beyonce is such a sweetheart! Our fur babies loved spending a long weekend with her. Having Beyonce at our house taking care of everything allowed us to enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond by bringing in the trash cans from the street, providing frozen peas and corn to our chickens because it was a hot weekend, and making sure the water for our dog and cat was fresh and cool. She even changed the water just before she left to make sure it would stay cool until we got home. We highly recommend Beyonce!”

“My dog has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone. Knowing her in great and attentive care while away is essential! Susie is a wonderful dog sitter with a kind and caring personality. Communication is excellent. Best of all she has no pets of her own and takes only one client at a time. Highly recommended!”
