1. Sarah C.
“Sarah was wonderful! Our boy, King had a happy long weekend with Sarah! She sent plenty of updates and photos and made it easy to get out of town and we didn’t feel rushed to return. We will happily leave our fur baby in her care again! Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our boy!”
2. Jessica F.
“Jessica was amazing! We booked this reservation last minute for a impromptu weekend getaway and they were super responsive. Throughout our pup’s stay at their home, we got pictures and updates. Anytime we checked in, we got prompt responses. We will rebook again when we need it. Thank you!”
3. Rose F.
“Rose was amazing! We feel so fortunate to have come across Rose on Rover. We immediately felt comfortable entrusting her with our Maggie. Rose kept us up to date with cute photos and messages throughout Maggie’s stay. She handled Maggie and all her issues with ease and a smile. She even won our stubborn Maggie’s affectation which is high praise from Maggie! I would 100% use Rose’s service again and recommend her to everyone.”
4. Alison B.
“Alison is fantastic! My dog Porter had such a great time with her. Her communication, willingness to run/exercise with Porter, and her flexibility was wonderful. Such a relief to know that my dog is comfortable and enjoying himself hanging out with Alison as much as I enjoyed my vacation! Highly recommend!”
5. Alma D.
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
6. Rebecca N.
“Rebecca is awesome! Our (extra large) dog spent a whole week in her cute cottage and had a great time. Lots of beach walks and snuggles. He was so happy and worn out when we picked him up. Communication was great. Would definitely recommend!”
7. Vicky P.
“Our lab had a great week long stay with Victoria. He is more of a loner dog but got along very well with Victoria's two dogs. I felt very comfortable with him there and felt that Victoria and Bobby were very dog savvy and could take care of issues that might arise. No issues arose and I know our dog was well cared for and they reported in while I was gone, which was very comforting! This was the first time our dog stayed anywhere except at home.”
8. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
9. Emilia K.
“Emilia was great! She provided the perfect amount of updates and pictures for us! We would definitely ask her to care for our puppy again! ❤️”
10. Susan L.
“We feel so lucky to have had Susan and her husband watch our dog in their home this weekend! She was SO lovely to meet, her yard was perfect for Moose and her dog was so sweet! She sent us so many amazing pictures of Moose throughout his stay with them! He got lots of play time and lots of cuddles. Moose came home exhausted!! We are so thankful for Susan!! ?”
11. Stephen M.
“I needed someone to watch my cat at the last minute, and Stephen was absolutely wonderful! Stephen was so kind and responsive, and I knew my cat was in good hands. I got updates throughout and I was able to adjust my pickup time when ciecumsstances changed. I would recommend Stephen to anyone!”
12. Anne B.
“Great stay for Bennett. Anne and her sweet dogs were very welcoming. Her set-up with a fenced-in backyard is perfect. The photos and updates she sent let me see how my pooch was settling in comfortably. An excellent experience for both for me and for my dog.”
13. Catharine S.
“Catharine provided a great home away from home for our pup! She was very responsive, sent great pictures, and was very flexible to work around us. Our pup had a great time and enjoyed having the company of her pups in Catherine's comfy home. Catharine was also very flexible, responsive, and accommodating when our flights were delayed. Overall great boarding experience!”
14. Andrew L.
“Andrew clearly has knowledge re dogs and cared for Milo as if he was his own. He is upbeat, experienced, professional and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to find out quirks and pertinent details about Milo, which I appreciated! I feel safe dropping my little guy off with Andrew for a day or an extended stay. Milo looks forward to seeing him soon!”
15. Jennifer E.
“Jennifer is fantastic! She is an animal lover and a responsible pet owner herself, as well as my go-to dog walker and pet sitter for when I am traveling or need an extra hand. She is trustworthy, has a lifetime of experiences with animals of all kinds, and reliably cares for my dog and cat when I'm out of town. Please don't hesitate to add her to your pet care crew.”
16. Kathleen B.
“Kathleen took great care of our pup for a week! She was communicative, professional, helpful, and clearly loves dogs! He is a high energy dog who loves to run and go for walks, and she made sure to give him lots of exercise! We know he was in great hands, which is amazing peace of mind when you’re out of town. Thanks Kathleen!!”
17. Harrison G.
“This was our first time using Rover and Harrison was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout Bruschi's entire stay with Harrison. When we picked up Bruschi - he was happy and well adjusted!!”
18. Jules H.
“Highest marks for Jules! Our old lady Cody comes with medical, dietary, and activity restrictions and Jules attended to all with loving care and always a smile. She’ll be our first call should we ever again need a pet sitter in the Portland area. Thank you SO much!”
19. Christine B.
About: Hi there! My unique dog boarding/sitting/walking skills and training that set me apart are the following: 1. I am a teacher and my plans for this summer are to spend my days hiking, walking, or relaxing in a fenced in backyard with a pool and some furry friends! 2. I am a life-long pet owner and animal lover. And I can’t dream up a better way to spend my time. Which means at least one of us is going to be in a wonderful mood every day! 3. My entire world is dog friendly and pet-aware. That means the primary focus is fur buddies; what they need, their safety, and their happiness! Pet-care on the days available, will be my primary focus. In fact I may also have one full-time and two part time helpers to assist me with walks and/or caring for my own pets while I care for yours ;) In terms of safety, trust & environment, I am equally as concerned as you are! Therefore, we can discuss your expectations versus my capacity before we work together:) The great news is that I love animals and know and respect how sensitive they are:) Some are social and zany while others need a peaceful routine.
20. Lingling O.
“Lingling was awesome with our dog Bruin. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He settled in well and really enjoyed hanging with the other dogs and taking walks in the neighbourhood. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent to me as well while I was away. I would highly recommend Lingling!”
