21. 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!!”


22. 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!”


23. Tomislav & Hillary J.

“Tomislav and Hillary were amazing when watching our Merle!! They sent us updates throughout his stay. Merle loved playing with their sweet dog Milo. They were super welcoming and we had no worries leaving him there for a week- I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs- we know we’ll book again when heading on another vacation :)”


24. Maxwell B.
“Max has taken care of our dog many times! He is thoughtful, caring, clean, respectful and most of all makes sure the dog gets plenty of exercise in a safe manner. Our dog, Jude, loves getting walks and pets from Max. Whenever we get home the dog seems happy and content. We will definitely be using Max every time we go away or have to come home from work late!”


25. Lauren L.

“Lauren took wonderful care of my senior pup! She handled his quirky personality and penchant for eating poop with ease and sent tons a photos while I was away. I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat and will definitely book with her in the future!”


26. Skyler N.

“Skyler took great care of my 13 year dog while I was away on a work trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she adjusted activity levels based upon how Mala was feeling each day. Overall, I think Mala had a great vacation with Skyler and would like to visit her again!”


27. Benjamin B.
“Benjamin and his dog Ollie were wonderful hosts for my dog. Benjamin is very kind and clearly an animal lover. He has a big fenced yard for the dogs to enjoy. Benjamin made sure my dog had everything she needed to be comfortable and he took great care of her while keeping me updated with pictures.”


28. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer would be a fantastic caregiver to any pet. She has been the best dog mom to our dog Kaija for 4 years now. She is the most thoughtful person I know and would do anything to ensure people or pets under her care are well taken care of. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch over their pet and will have the piece of mind that they are in good hands.”




29. Kristian N.

“Booking with you was great, easy, good communication! Drop off and pick up was easy and I got a photo of my pups while away. Everything went well! Thank you!”


30. Christina R.

“Christina did a great job with Crosby. I trusted that he was well cared for and got lots of love and attention. Normally a very stressed out dog, he seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”


31. Christian L.

“I left my recently adopted rescue dog, Levi, with Christian and I am so glad I did. Christian was very kind and understanding about my anxieties about leaving Levi with a sitter for the first time, and he took care to follow my instructions to keep Levi on his food/training routine. The night I was supposed to pick Levi up, my flight home was cancelled and Christian was extremely understanding and said he could keep Levi an extra night. It was a big relief to know Levi was safe and happy while I was stuck in another city. Five stars!”


32. Lawson R.

“Welcoming and safe environment, grateful my dog got exercise, played with the kids, and was treated like one of the family. Appreciate this very much”


33. Jules H.

“Jules was great with my puppy. She took him to the beach and my dog was clearly having the greatest time based on the photos she sent me. Jules did a fantastic job communicating and sending me updates while I was away. I would totally trust her with my dog again. Thank you Jules!!”


34. Cally A.

“Cally (and Matt) we’re awesome and very accommodating on my recent trip to Portland. They welcomed my pup for a walk/sitting situation which transitioned into an overnight. The experience was outstanding in every way, highly recommended!”


35. Danielle A.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing with not only Bella but staying in contact and keeping me updated often! Answered any questions and messaged me right away. Sent photos and videos,Bella looked so happy and having so much fun! I can't thank Danielle enough!”


36. Amy S.

“Amy was so great with Herbie and sent me regular updates with funny and fun pictures and videos of my big golden with her chihuahuas and was so kind and accommodating and though she has smaller older dogs she understood Herbie’s younger big dog energy. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone needing a caring dog sitter and if I were in the Portland area I would 100% choose Amy!:)”


37. Tenessa T.

“Tenessa was so great with Finn! Finn can be anxious when we leave and she provided a very calming and relaxing environment for him. He was able to eat and walk normally the entire time which doesn’t always happen. We would love for her to watch Finn again!”


38. Celine G.
“Celine loves animals! She is reliable, friendly, detail oriented, organized, and will always make sure your furry friend is well cared for. I have trusted her with my animals many times and I could never tell who was happier my pets or Celine. She’s excellent!”


39. Jennifer B.

“Jennifer is wonderful! She cared for my 3 dogs for a week while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable the entire time. She gave daily updates with fantastic photos of everyone having fun. I know my crew can be a lot to handle at times and she did a fantastic job! Thanks again, Jennifer!!”


40. Seth M.
