“My dog Bailey had a great time with Elaine and her menagerie. Lots of walks and many other dogs to play with. Elaine kept me updated on Bailey’s status and activities every day, including photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was traveling. Very convenient to Portland Airport, so I will definitely board here again next time I’m flying out of PDX.”

“Debbie is the best! My senior lab Luke is picky about other dogs, but he is always happy to see Debbie and her dog. He is happy when he comes home, and I feel confident he is safe and in good hands when I am away. Debbie is very thoughtful and sends updates and photos to ease my mind, which I really appreciate. Debbie will always be my first choice when I need to board my dogs.”

“John and his family welcomed Griffon into theirs and treated him like their own with care and love. Griffon had a great time snuggling everyone and playing with his son and Ruby! We really appreciated John’s thoughtfulness and daily communication throughout the stay. Can’t thank John and his family enough. Highly recommended!”

“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Whitney took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week. She provided consistent pictures and updates throughout the week and really did put our minds at ease. We will book her again!”

“Jocelyn was great! We ended up having to change dates and she was flexible which was so nice! Our dog is always happy to spend time with Jocelyn and her two pups! So thankful we’ve found her!”

“Katherine saved me with my last minute booking! She was very responsive and settled my anxieties around having my senior dog with tummy issues. She gave me updates while in my trip and was flexible when my travel plans changed! Your dog is in great hands with Katherine!”

“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”

“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”

“This is the place for your pet if you are looking for a worry free time away! Maggie loves her time with Christine and Steven and we know she's safe, loved and well cared for even when we are out of cell and internet service. Maggie gets pampered with walks and play time and maybe even treats she doesn't get at home. She shows she loves being with Christine and Stevem because when we take her to them and make the last turn to their house, she gets really excited!”

“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”


“I highly recommend a doggie vacay with Holly. Rikki came home seeming just like she would any day we came home. Just happy to see us. Holly was quick to respond every time we contacted her, sent plenty of photos, and accommodated Rikki's complicated meal routine. She also got to ride in the car and go to the park! Yay! Thanks, Holly! Rikki says send Avery licks! ”

“Barry and his dog Shakka are just who we were hoping for. Our active dog seems to have had a really good stay. We got updates with pictures from Barry, that showed us a happy dog. We will be using him again when we can’t take our pup with us. Thanks Barry”

“Peter did an amazing job taking care of my blind, nervous, bratty dogchild. He sent regular updates and kept me in the loop on any issues. My dog used to come back a nervous wreck from his old boarders so being able to leave him with Peter and not have him around other strange dogs is a perfect solution. Ill definitely be back!”

“Beatriz loved her stay!!! She was accepted into the 4-legged and 2-legged packs. Dawn provided the most loving care for Beatriz and sent me frequent photos and updates. I plan to be a returning client.”

“Don and Melody are our favorite Rover sitters! They’re flexible and reliable and handle our dog’s complex medical stuff easily. She has a great time when she stays with them and we get plenty of photo updates. Their dog Cody is so sweet and friendly, too! Always our first choice when we’re looking to book.”
