âWe had a short notice trip and thankfully we're able to find Anthony available. After a meet and greet with our 2 adult dogs and 1 puppy we knew it would go well. Even our puppy who is a little hesitant of new people loved him immediately. Anthony did good with sending pictures, keeping the house clean, and making sure to send updates.â

About: Iâve taken care of cats, dogs, guniea pigs, hamsters, etc. since i was 10 years old. I love animals and have 4 of my own. I have 1 dog who is a rough collie and 3 cats. Iâm currently working at an elementary school with special needs kids. I am currently looking for something to help make a little more money for me. We do not have a fenced in yard but we live on a dirt road and have super nice neighbors. We also would crate our dog if they do not get along.
âBrenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!â
âApril provided great communication, lots of pictures & was willing to do a meet & greet before our first drop-in which is important for my dogs. Iâd definitely use her again!â

âGreat visits with Roxi! Amelia is a great help to us on long, busy days when we need someone to drop in to take care of our little girl. Thanks! We look forward to using Amelia again.â

âKerri is friendly and outgoing! She demonstrates a care for your animals and makes sure she completes the tasks as you request. She was a wonderful care taker for our animals while we were away! Than you Kerri!â
About: Huge animal advocate! I have been around cats and dogs since I can remember. There is no breed, or animal that I will ever shy away from haha. I have plenty of free time available to spend on our furry friends when needed! I love dog walking and playing with them. As well as playing with our Feline friends:) I am very laid back, but stern when needed. I love nothing more than to go for a good walk, or hang out with any animal really lol. I do like training but that takes consistency in order to master. I have all animals best interests at heart both physically and emotionally.
âWonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.â

About: There has not been a time in my life when I havenât cared for pets. I cared for animals when I was younger and I pet-sit for friendsâ cats and dogs when they are on vacation. Currently, I have four dogs and six cats, many of whom have been rescued. My pets are loved and well-cared for and our vet said she wishes she was a pet in our home. I am an expert at giving medicine to both dogs and cats, and especially the challenge that comes with cats! I currently work very part-time and early mornings so I am flexible and have my days free for stop-in visits and walks for your dogs. We have an invisible fence outside the home and inside our home so the cats do not have to be chased by the dogs. We also make sure to never have anything containing xylitol or certain plants in the home due to poisoning of both dogs and cats.
âAnother great visit with Jamie! She is incredibly reliable, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. I received updates with photos and videos, during the visit and my dogs adore her. Itâs such a relief to know they're being loved and well taken care of while we are away. We highly recommend Jamie, she goes above and beyond every time!â

About: I have grown up with dogs. I am excellent at following any instructions that you may have. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet! I am a stay at home mom! I take care of my two young boys and my dog, a Golden Retriever, every day. I have a consistent routine with each. Leaving me with written instructions helps me so much! You know your pet best which allows me to meet their needs. Also, I will contact you if I have any questions.
About: From growing up in a pet loving home where there were always dogs running around, to having professional experience of pet sitting through college, I promise to always take care of your pets like theyâre my own! Plus, I love enjoying the outside by taking walks, so why not add a sweet dog to care for along with me? Itâs a win win for both of us! :) I have a very flexible schedule right now, so I am able to drop by multiple times a day and/or walk dogs while you are at work during business hours. I am more than happy to accommodate whatever needs your pet(s) have - whether that is crating them back up when I leave or making sure they have plenty food and water. I am a very respectful, tidy, and reliable person and promise to treat your home and your fur babies the same way!
About: Hi! Iâm Kayla! I have been doing dog sitting/drop ins for 3 years now. I own my own LLC. I have 2 dogs, 4 cats & chickens. Iâm a stay at home mom, so my availability is very open. I am here to help with vacations, quick stops, a good afternoon walk, a potty break or some food &/or medication. I look forward to meeting you & your furbaby & giving you the best care possible đ¤ Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly bc I am able to stop and take care of your furbaby in between times I have mom duty. It lets my days be flexible for last minute changes. We have an acre of land. We are in the process of building a fence, so right now we use leads to let the dogs explore and have some fun.
âAlexander has been great with my RRâs. They are a handful and large and he is patient. He has been reliable over multiple visits and I donât hesitate to recommend him.â
About: Hi there! I have an extensive amount of animal related experience, from ducks, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, the list goes on. I have 2 dogs of my own, and 2 cats. I am experienced in giving any oral medication, if needed. I have over 8 years of animal care experience and love them ALL. I canât wait to meet your pet and spoil them with love! If you just need walking services, I am an active person so if youâre dog needs to get a run in, an hour long walk, or even just 20 minutes, I am all in! My schedule is constantly changing so always feel free to reach out. Since I am a veterinary student, my schedule fluctuates from time to time. I generally make time in between classes or before and after I head over to campus. I make sure I follow all rules listed by the owner and instructions when caring for your pet. I ensure all pets are safe and well taken care of.

Portland pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Felicia! From the very beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely at ease leaving our Bernese Mountain Dog in her care. We received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Our dog was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable, which says a lot about Feliciaâs character as our dog typically has major anxiety. Felicia even went above and beyond to feed our rabbit as well. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
