“Desirée did a fabulous job with drop in visits for my three cats, including one who needs oral medication. Everything went super smoothly! I also appreciate her prompt communication and flexibility.”
“Kateri welcomed the opportunity to watch over my best friend. Echo took to Kateri’s approach of care so much that I could clearly see from the pictures she sent each day. It was a long stay too, for a 2+ week, twice a day drop in visit. She was responsive, professional, and exceeded our expectations for a guardian while we were away. Thanks, Kateri! You crushed it.”
About: I was raised with big dogs all my life. I was the one responsible for taking care of them, including feeding and cleaning. With my nursing skills I was also the one responsible for taking care of making bandages, and give medications. In my adult life I raised a little chihuahua. I love spending time with dogs and have fun with them. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I also work remotely from home but still have some free schedule for Rover. I try to respect the animal place and give some time for them to feel comfortable with my presence. I am a very adaptable person and respect other home as it was my home.
“Mei is a great dog walker. She follows all of my instructions and preferences exactly, takes great care of my dogs, and is very responsible. She sends lots of photos to keep me updated ln the walks and lets me know how each walk goes. I highly recommend her!”
“Midory was simply amazing! Her thoughtfulness and care for our kitty Yves while we were away made our trip much less stressful, knowing he was in such good hands. She sent a number of wonderful photos after every visit as well as informative texts to let us know how the day went. We couldn’t be happier and will 100% be booking Midory again to care for Yves.”
“Caroline took great care of my cat. She was also great to work with - she was very communicative and scheduling drop-ins was easy. I'd definitely ask her to watch Walter again!”
“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”
“I had a difficult situation come up with a client who needed pet care while she was in the hospital. The process of getting Annie set up for regular care involved a lot of people and was not the typical booking, but Annie was so accommodating and went the extra mile. She ended up watching Midnight for three weeks in a row and did not complain a single time. She was so attentive and helpful. I don't know what would have happened to Midnight if she had not been there to look after him. We are so grateful. Thank you and will definitely book again!”
“Harper was great with the dogs, highly communicative and very responsible. She’s a huge dog lover and we could tell our pups were in good hands. We have since moved out of town and wish we could still have Harper take care of the pups here. Thanks again Harper!”
About: Started caring for animals around 8 years old with my family’s two golden doodles. We made sure their thirteen years were full of love, health, and fun adventures! Very familiar with pups of all different sizes, personalities, and medical conditions, while meeting their needs for exercise, diet, and attention. While I now live in the city, I miss having those interactions and trips outdoors with a furry friend! I have a very standard work schedule of 7:30am-4pm weekdays. After full days in front of the computer, I like to spend a lot of my weekends and evenings adventuring through the NW areas to get out and about. I'd love to have a walking buddy while I get my steps in and enjoy the fresh air. I average about 12,000 steps a day on these walks if you have a fluffy friend who likes to be on the move! Or even one who prefers to lounge in a park. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my sister in the Pearl district. We have an open living area and are located right next to multiple parks. Easy access to The Fields Park! I also have a car for commuting to other parks and natural spaces to walk.
About: I’m an upbeat guy who loves dogs. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they have been busy. I work part-time as a freelance video editor and am looking to help out busy dog parents with walks or check ins in my spare time. My flexible schedule allows me to focus and provide quality, one-on-one care for your pup. I’ve watched and walked many dogs in Portland. I will get to know your pet and make sure they are in good care and that their needs are met.
About: All my life I have been around pets. I’m currently a proud parent of 2 cats. Even the shyest of animals warm up to me very quickly. I am experienced with sitting all types of dogs from German Shepherds to Pomeranians. I have even more experience with cats. I don’t have any human children, as a result all of my discipline and care is reserved for my furry friends. Over the years I have learned how to bring out the best in your pet. I can typically shut down any unwanted behavior. I also love to play with pets because it’s important to keep them active. The only service I can’t provide is sitting at my home due to the cats. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
“Olivia was amazing at accommodating my last minute changes to my schedule requests. Winston really enjoyed having them home with him while I was away and I will be booking again!”

Renata A.Star Sitter
“As an owner of 2 cats and a dog, huge animal lover, and a veterinarian's granddaughter, I can speak from my heart about Renata as an exceptional pet sitter. She is a beautiful spirit in general and most importantly, a tremendous animal lover. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy and will ensure your pets are loved like her own. Her passion for all things 'natural' ensures she will create amazing outings for your pet, giving them the time and attention they deserve. I cannot recommend her highly enough - you will be so glad you chose Renata to support your fur babies in your absence. She will be your forever 'go to' pet (and house) sitter moving forward!”

The picture updates I get from him are also much appreciated!”

Caroline was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using Rover, and my first time since I adopted my pup leaving her in someone else’s care, and Caroline assuaged all of my potential concerns up front and took great care of my doggo while I was out. She was super communicative and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. I’d give more stars if I could!
August was fantastic with our older cat and they went above and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of. August was able to get her to take her pills each day (which can sometimes be tricky). They were patient, caring, and gave us lots of info at each check in about how she was doing. I never had to worry with August taking care of our cat and we would have them back as our pet sitter any time. Highly recommended!!
Stellar job, once again! You're availability and generosity will always be remembered. My dog and cat thank you so much, as do i, of all of the attention and time you gave them in my absence. I was able to enjoy the work I was doing abroad and had no concerns or worries that everything was under control and taken care of.
We can't say enough great things about Anna! She was able to come spend time with our sweet pup last minute when we had a wedding to go to that was an all day affair. Winnie our pup is a sensitive sweetheart and Anna understood her feelings, took the time to do some training with her, play with her, and give her lots of love and pets to soothe her anxiousness. Her communication is really top notch, as is her care! We also recently hired Anna to sit Winnie for a few days at our house when we were away, and she was so so great. She was so careful and considerate about Winnie's routine and about our home. She sent photos and videos which was so sweet. Winnie clearly loves her. We will absolutely hire her again for overnight stays or day time pop ins when we need them.
I highly recommend booking with Taylor. I work from home so my 2 active cats are used to lots of attention and love. They clearly got plenty of that from Taylor over the six days she stopped by to feed and play with them. So grateful that when I got back home my kitties were happy and fully exercised from plenty of play. 100% would book again and would recommend this sitter to anyone!
