“Malory has cared for our dog more times than we can count. From one night to two weeks, she always takes great care of Willow with multiple walks a day, lots of picture updates, and very easy to communicate with. This last time our flight was severely delayed and we couldn’t pick up at the scheduled time, but Malory was able to keep her overnight. Highly recommend!”
“Josh did great with our cantankerous 16 year old chihuahua! He allowed Max to get acquainted with the other dogs but also gave Max his own space to come and go as he needed to accommodate his frequent nap schedule. Josh sent daily updates and was very pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend him for boarding needs!”
“Myriah did such a great job listening and supporting our dog. Leaving your dog is hard but she was incredibly reassuring to his needs and personality. As well as sending many pictures throughout.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Anastasia took great care of our dog Kohala who requires daily medication and insulin injections, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Another wonderful visit for Maggie with Dawn! She's the best! Maggie is so loved and cared for while she is here. Endless play and lots of walks. Not a thing to worry about while she's with Dawn.”
“Jung is an exceptional caretaker. She made my anxious when away from home pup feel comfortable. Jung goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of care. She is honest, punctual, communicative and clear. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Garitt was an amazing dog sitter for Peanut. Peanut warmed up quickly to Garitt and his dog Chloe. Garitt treated Peanut as one of his own and kept me updated frequently with pictures. I would definitely use Garitt again and would recommend anyone to use him.”
“Amanda is awesome. She kept us updated with pictures and reports of how Tess was doing. This is our second time using Amanda and it certainly won't be our last. She is amazing with Tess.”
About: I have a Bernese mountain dog that my partner and I got as a puppy! I’ve grown up around dogs, and work from home so I can be here all the time! I work from home and live next to a big fenced in dog park and next to a big open park that’s nice to walk around. I have a super friendly berner who loves other dogs and will want to share toys and treats! We love to go on long walks and go to the park!
“We've had Zoey stay with Jennifer and her family several times and they are so great with her! Zoey fits right in, and even as she's getting older they are happy to help her with what she needs. Highly recommend.”
“Our Cairn Terrier Cosmo spent 5 days with Catherine and had a great time with the other dogs. She came home happy and tired! Catherine sent photos and updates daily which we really appreciated.”
“Kathy did a great job taking care of Angus and Addie. She shared daily updates and photos/videos. Angus has an unfortunate run-in with a skunk and Kathy took care of bathing him and the dog beds to reduce the smell. Thanks again Kathy!”
“Wonderful sitters! They sent me so many sweet pics and videos of my pup and I knew I didn’t have to worry about him while in their care. 10/10 will book again”
“Kylee is the best dog sitter I have had. She sends lots of pictures Which I loved. She was very understanding that this was the first time we left our doberman. Being able to see Bella have fun was so reassuring that I picked the right person to care for her.. Kylee is going to be our go to person for Bella. Kylee and her family were so welcoming and her house was dog friendly which I loved as well. Other dog sitter have rules about their house, which is completely fine. But we treat Bella like she is a true part of the family, and I got the same feels from Kylee.”

Sandra took such great care of Wallis! She sent regular updates and let me know that Wallis was fitting in well with the other small dogs ❤️ Sandra was very easy to communicate with for drop off and was flexible when my pickup plans unexpectedly changed. Thank you so much!!!
Heather did an amazing job!! I’m always anxious about leaving my dog when I go on a trip, but I knew Heather was taking amazing care of my dog Willow! She sent frequent updates! I never had to ask her how things were going because she reached out first which really put me at ease! Thank you so much! I would definitely book Heather again!!
Aubie had his very first stay with Christine and Steven over a long weekend and it seems that everything was great! One thing I especially appreciated was how they were very proactive in communication with photos and updates each day. This made me feel confident that he was getting good attention and care and walks. I am grateful they could watch him and I hope to rebook him for another stay soon!
My puppy had the best stay with Richard. He watched my puppy while I was out of town and did a wonderful job. Puppies are not easy with all that energy, but he took him on hikes and took perfect care of him. I came home to a happy, tired puppy. I feel so lucky to have found him.
Jung took such great care and consideration of my senior pup, i swore he wasn't going to want to come back with me. incredibly thoughtful, discerning, and kind, in one weekend Jung has become my pup's favorite person, and as an owner, it is comforting to know he's thriving when he is with her.
Jack and his partner watched both my dog and cat at their house and I could not be happier with the experience! 10/10 would recommend booking him. Jack is very kind and professional. I got lots of picture updates, he took my dog on lots of very fun adventures, and my cat seemed super happy with the calm and clean house. Will definitely book again whenever I’m back in the area. Thank you Jack!
Addy is incredible. As someone who is very anxious about leaving my dogs, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of updates & pictures, and was patient with changing pick up times/lateness. I couldn’t recommend her more to watch your dogs and I’ll definitely only be using her when I’m back in the area!
Two weddings, out-of-state, drew us away and we could not travel with our little Frenchie, Eiffel. Thankfully through Rover, we were able to re-connect with Nancy, and she was available to board Eiffel for our whole ten-day trip! I was so relieved! As Eiffel has boarded with her in the past for shorter stays that were always positive, having Nancy care for him for this longer stay was an easy decision. As expected, Eiffel had a great time; Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. Her frequent updates and photos showed Eiffel fitting right in and enjoying his stay. There was lots of action in her home as well as walks in the neighborhood and to the park. It is so nice to say that in Nancy's care and with her tips to help him through this longest ever separation from us, everything went well. The Ritz has a '5 Star' rating and in my book so does Nancy! She truly connects with each pet and insures everything goes okay in every way.
Taylor is a great sitter! We needed our pups to be watched overnight and received sweet updates on how our girls were settling in, particularly our Velcro dog who doesn’t like it when we’re out of her sight. She even gave us a spare snuffle puzzle mat she had for Fable since she loves them, and without something to slow her down she eats too quickly. I was also relieved Taylor wasn’t fazed with Fable’s pulling or husky-whining at other dogs. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!
Uma and our 1 year old chiweenie got along perfectly. They were buddies and Pepper had the best time. Uma sent us daily photos and stayed in touch well. She communicated on how Pepper was settling in since she was with her for 2 weeks. She even reached out about Pepper not eating for a day, so we could help troubleshoot remotely. Highly recommend and will absolutely be using her again (hopefully many times)!
Brittany is wonderful! I had to do a last-minute booking, and thankfully she was available. It was just one night, but I hadn’t had to leave my little girl in a long time. Gigi is a little love bug Chihuahua, and just wants love and cuddles. I think she got just that! I received lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell Gigi was well taken care of. Gigi now has a new friend, and I have somebody I can call who I trust with Gigi’s care. Thank you!!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
