“Jules was so nice and personable. Really made me feel comfortable dropping off our pup for the weekend. Would definitely use her again when I’m in the area!”

Sarah M.

“Lindsay did such a great job with our pug, Chloe. She sent photos, played with her, took her for long walks. When we picked Chloe up - she was perfectly calm and clearly felt comfortable and lived with Lindsay.”

“Celine is great. Wonderful indoor space with playing area just next door. Adventure walks everyday and lots of updates and pictures. And all the attention Zahra could have hoped for. Thanks!”

About: For many years in San Francisco, I was a house and Pet Sitter. It started off with just doing it for friends and then word got around and I had a couple of regular gigs. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have owned several different types since I was a child. I have a 13 year-old daughter who also loves animals and would love to accompany me at times if you are OK with that too. Hello, I currently work part-time so I have most mornings and evenings to feed, walk and play with your critters. I live in Portland so prefer things that are in the town or nearby. I am open to house sits and boarding animals within 45 minutes of Portland. I do have two cats so if I am boarding, they need to be OK with that. If at your home… I will do your routine for the animals. If at my home…I currently live in a large house, I have a yard that is not fenced in that they can go out to the bathroom and on leash in, as well as the Back cove two blocks away and a safe residential neighborhood to walk in. I love taking dogs to dog parks and on adventures to walking trails and beaches. I have two cats that have been around other animals and after warming up seem to do well coexisting.

“Emily and Kieran were so great with Chewy! I met with them and Leon leading up to the booking which was great so that our dogs met ahead of time. They sent periodic updates which was awesome and put me at ease. It was a wonderful first experience using Rover.”

“Victoria and Brent were simply the best! They are both kind and compassionate and wanted to be sure both my pup and I were comfortable and happy. Goal achieved! They made us both feel very welcome in their home and handled my nervous pup and the separation anxiety like pros. Lots of photo updates to assure me all was well. They also adjusted their routine to accommodate his exercise needs. We’ll definitely use them again!”

Shelley D.

“Our aussie Elvis loved staying with Amy! She sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away. We loved the experience and will be working with her again.”

Aline R.

“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”

Kristina M.

“Grace is a fantastic sitter. Chewy, my Labradoodle, loved staying with her. He has had two separate stays with her and when he saw her the second time, he simply rushed in to greet her with such joy. I definitely recommend her if you need a dog sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs and I miss the pure joy they have for this world. I can't own one with my current situation, but would love to look after yours. I'm a working professional who is kind and courteous. If you want me to know anything ask, feel free to ask! -Alex I work a full time remote job, with easy morning and evening walking times. The afternoon tends to be a bit busier for me so I may not be able to take an extended break but can make sure your pup has plenty of bathroom breaks and long walks. I am kind and courteous of other people's space. I offer sitting in your space or walks, because my apartment doesn't allow me to have dogs.

“Jenna was very great! I came from out of town and we even had a change of schedule and she adjusted for us. She was very responsive and sent pictures. She was on time and communicated well!”

Jennifer F.

“My pup Pearl had a great time with Amie and her two dogs. She came home happy, well taken care of and tired : ) I will book with her again 100%!”

Katrina V.

“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”

About: I grew up in a household with lots of animals, we never had less than 3 pets! I've always loved walking and running and I miss having an animal companion for that now that I’ve moved out! I just graduated form the University of Vermont and I’ll be living in Maine all summer:) I am taking very few classes this semester so I have lots of time in my schedule throughout the entire day. I don't have class on Fridays through Monday evening. Pet care would fit in perfectly, specially walks because I go on walks/hikes almost every day! As a golden rule, I would treat a pet the same way I would want my family pets at home to be treated. Lovingly, and always making sure they are in a safe fun environment!

“Amanda and Austin were able to take my dog Willow after we had another Rover cancel on us. They were communicative and Willow came home happy and well taken care of.”

About: I have been a pet carer since I could hold a spoon and scoop cat food onto a plate. My family had two cats for my entire childhood; they lived to 18 and 19 years old! I have cat-sat for friends and family for all my life and through this have become extremely comfortable with cats—from the grumpy to the cuddly. I have given cats medicine in most forms that don't require a certification (pills, syringe, in food, inhalers, ointments... just no injections!) and have sitted for kittens, cats with illnesses like chronic respiratory issues, cancer, and severe skin allergies, and have no queasiness when it comes to the realities of life with cats! With dogs, I have more of the proper pet-sitting experience. That has really ramped up in the last year, since we moved to Portland and into an apartment that is pet-friendly. I have loved getting to know each dog and adjusting so they have the best time possible (it can't be easy leaving home for a stranger's house!). For example, one dog tends to have a much better, more peaceful day if I get him out to the woods for a run/walk in the morning before work (who wouldn't!) Another loves to cuddle, so we put a blanket on the couch so that she can snuggle while we watch TV at night with constant pets. Another is whip-smart, so I try to make sure we do extra enrichment/play time. With all animals, I try to go above and beyond and see them as individuals with distinct personalities and needs. :) I am a work-from-home journalist who would absolutely love some company, playtime, cuddles, and more reasons to get outside during the day. Sadly, I travel too much right now to adopt a pet of my own. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to bond with and share my space with an animal! My work schedule is incredibly flexible, but in general I am home all day, with some sort of exercise in the morning that I would be happy to make part of the pet sitting experience, a remote work day wherein I have a lot of freedom to take breaks. I also have a small porch, a medium-sized fenced yard, a larger non-fenced yard, and a beautiful suburban area to walk with nearby parks. I am often away from home for a few hours in the evening, but I am flexible and happy to stay home with an animal if necessary. Flexibility is the name of the game! We live in a very safe area, in a pet-friendly home. It is just my partner and I, two young professionals, in an apartment that regularly hosts animals for boarding. As a previous long-time pet owner and sitter, I am aware of the best practices regarding animal safety (depending on the animal). I prioritize comfort and respect with animals. I think of animals as a member of the family, and will care for their interest and safety as I would a child who was in my care.

About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks! I provide 5 walks a day for my own pup and would love for your dog to join. I work from home so your dog will have ongoing company throughout most of the day. I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.

“Sam is amazing! We were visiting Portland for the day/ night and were in need of a sitter for our pup. We were nervous to leave her with someone new. Sam was awesome- extremely warm and friendly and very responsible with our dog. She gave us great updates and pics and was very engaged with our dog the whole time. Thank you Sam for being so wonderful with our pup! We hope to see you again for our trip next year!”
