“Great people, would leave my little buddy with them again! Sent pictures and got updates, everything you want out of dog sitters! Thanks again!!!”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“LOVE HER. I was crying leaving my dogs because they are my kids and this was a first. She offered to meet before hand, answered all my questions, responded to every text & sent pictures. When I came to pick up my dogs my little one was walking around the house and just so comfortable. If I need a sitter again, ebony is on speed dial. She makes you feel right at home.”
“I had to find a sitter last minute and so happy I was able to find Cody. He was a great sitter, kept me informed and very down to earth person. This was my first time going through an animal sitter service but I will definitely book again.. with Cody ❤️”

“Was able to book last minute. Erin was very professional and communication was always fast. George was very knowledgeable in dog behavior and made accommodations for my dog's need. I was very satisfied with their service, professionalism and interactions throughout Bella's stay.”
“we are so glad we found Beth M! our dog Tuko loves her and so do we. great person, excellent communicator! Beth takes your pet into her home with her own and her family. we have not enough words to recommend Mrs. Beth M. Great sitter.”
“Amazing!!! They took such good care of my baby boy! Took him on walks and snuggled with him. Treated my pup like he was apart of their family! 10/10 they are awesome”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Heather was the best! She sent me so many pictures and videos which made me feel assured that Charlie was well taken care of. And her dog, Remi, is so cute and sweet and playful.”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“We loved having Grace keep our Bella girl! She gave up daily pictures and updates. She made sure our girl got lots of play time and outside time. So grateful for someone that treats her puppy visitors like her own!”
“Valerie was amazing she watched Phoebe while she was just 8 weeks old as I had a medical emergency and was in hospital for 7 days. I cannot reccomended her enough she’s an all star and she could readily charge more if she wanted to!”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“Kaitlin and her pups were amazing with our golden Marty. We contacted her on pretty short notice as our plans changed while in town and she was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Marty enjoyed her time there and would highly recommend Kaitlin.”
“Caroline and her husband took great care of our Rose. She sent photos and videos to let us know how Rose was doing while we were on vacation, which helped us being away from her.”
“Crystal is amazing! She made my family and our furry kid feel comfortable. She will provide lots of photos and her communication is top tier. She is now our go to sitter for Charlie. Thank you Crystal!!”

Portland dog parents share their Rover experiences
I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.
The puppies were quite unnerved by our being gone. This means they were well cared for by Reena. They were quite excited to see us again but that is their daily reaction to our returning home. We appreciazed the loving care and attemtion they were given Wr would like to tip Reena
Jaclyn was great with our dog. She was very kind to him and he warmed up to her right away. I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Jaclyn also sent me several updates during his stay which I loved because I could tell he was at ease. I would definitely recommend her.
