“Lajetta was an amazing sitter for our doggy. She is super kind and loving. She made sure to keep us updated and sent lots of photos! I would definitely use her services again!”
“Peter is the best! We loved Peter’s stories and pictures about our dog while we were out of town for a week. She was very happy staying with Peter. He and his son were very thoughtful with her.”
“This was the first time we had left Jazzie and Sadie with Sandy but I am happy to say, they came home both tired and happy!! We are planning to leave them there for a much longer stay and feel confident that the girls will be well taken care of. Thank you Sandy!”
“Ron's home is an ideal place for a dog with everything from a kind and dog-savy owner to a fenced yard and Emma-the-friendly-playmate. This was a first visit but it certainly won't be the last.”
“Our pup took to Juan shortly after meeting him and she usually takes time to warm up to strangers. It was clear that he was patient and really listened to her needs. She had a great weekend. Loved the photo updates that Juan shared too. Would use him again.”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“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”
“Chava watched our dog during our wedding weekend and it was such a huge help! Penny came back happy and tuckered, which means she must have had a fun time. Thank you!!!”
“Chom Chom had a wonderful stay with Heath & Amy! They made sure he had plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles. Chom got a lot well with all the other pups and had a great time!”
“Christopher has a great yard for dogs to play in and I enjoyed the photos and videos he sent during our dog's stay with him. He seems insightful of dogs' communication and was able to handle our dog's protectiveness around meal times. I really appreciated Chris' communication and that there weren't a lot of other dogs there at the same time so I didn't have to worry about unknown dog group dynamics. I will gladly book with him again in the future.”
“Don took amazing care of our pup, Indigo, while we were out of town. It's always nerve wracking to leave your dog with someone new, but during our meet and greet we could tell that he was extremely caring and would make her feel at home. We received pictures multiple times a day which made us feel at ease. Don and his wife took Indigo on walks, played with her, and even gave her a warm blanket for her bed. They really got to know her and treated her like their own. We could enjoy our vacation knowing that Indigo was in safe and caring hands. We will definitely be booking with Don again and would highly recommend him!”
“five stars as always!! briana watched my dog twice in quick succession; he had a great initial stay and was eager to return. she took great care to understand and tend to his particular needs and idiosyncrasies. it was a joy and relief to know that my stubborn, aging dog was taken such good care of while i was away 🤍 he returned exhausted and happy, and as much as he missed me i know he’ll be excited for any future stay with briana the next time i leave town.”
“Amber provided excellent care. Otis had a great time! We wanted Otis to experience more socialization with other dogs and he had two days of fun and playing with Amber and her family. Her location is perfect for travel out of PDX.”
“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.”
“Annika, John, and Pepper are perfect sitters for our shy dog! She gets lots of time to play/explore, spoiled with cuddles, and loves going over there. They’re always communicative throughout the stay.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since a young age and have recently adopted a Great Pyrenees mix that has taken many hours of training and desensitizing to the world due to his difficult prior life. I adore my interactions with dogs and will treat them as if they are my own. I am currently not working but will be going back to work part-time over the next couple months. Right now my schedule is open and I spend most my time with my dog at home or socializing/playing with him on a friend's property with many different types of dogs. I have a yard with a 4 foot fence lining one side, 6 foot along the rest and a two story house with a basement. My rescue dog gets along great with other dogs and would love to have the company. I have many toys and games for dogs that come over as well as a dog friendly neighborhood and parks to walk in.
Portsmith dog parents share their Rover experiences
Makenna was awesome. She was so flexible with my last minute booking for my little pup. Her apartment was clean and set up for a little one. She was communicative and spent time with my dog prior to watching him for the first time and let him warm up to her. She was very calm and gentle in her approach. She sent photos during my trip and let me know how he was doing because he’s a pretty anxious dog. I was able to enjoy my trip being confident he was well taken care of.
Annika and John are wonderful! They took great care of my anxious and needy pup for a week and kept me in the loop with daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. They took note of all my dog’s needs and asked questions, I could tell they really cared. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and will happily rebook!

Jules was so amazing with our girls!! She watched our 12 year old Chihuahuas for the weekend & they were so well cared for and happy! She took time to provide us with pictures and videos multiple times a day and our girls looked so happy and content in them😍 We usually never leave our girls with Rovers because we tend to be anxious pet parents, but Jules totally put our minds at ease. Our baby Bailey is a quite timid girl and can be difficult to warm up, somehow, Jules was able to get Bailey to warm up to her in just two days and even let Jules pick her up to carry her. If you knew Bailey, you would know how big of a deal that is! Jules has a very warm and kind energy. We cannot wait to book with her again next time we’re needing a sitter! Thank you Jules!!
Bryan is a gem with dogs. The first time Gilly stayed with Bryan, she was nervous and a bit on edge. Bryan calmed her and they ultimately had a successful time together. The second time I dropped Gilly for a long weekend, I was a bit apprehensive about how she’d react to being left again. The moment she saw Bryan, she was THRILLED and strutted away without so much as a glance back. She clearly feels at ease with him, which is so reassuring. Further, he’s extremely kind, responsive, and flexible. We will 1000% be reaching out to Bryan for future dog sitting needs!
Our old girl is a special needs, senior dog that needs extra care. Jocelyn did an amazing job taking care of her and bringing her on walks in the doggie stroller. Abbey loves spending time with Jocelyn and her sweet doggies. Abbey was so relaxed and comfortable when I picked her up, it was clear that she’s one of the pack. And the adorable photos that we received during our trip was an absolute delight. Thank you for always taking such great care of our sweet Abbey, we are eternally grateful. ❤️
Deboye was wonderful with Johnny, and we would 100% book with him again. From the start, he took all of our notes and concerns seriously, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Johnny was in great hands and being really well cared for. He was so sweet about meeting Johnny at his own pace and never pushing him too quickly, which helped him settle in comfortably. He picked up on Johnny’s little quirks and routine right away, stayed on top of his meds, and kept him on his normal schedule. We also really appreciated all of the updates and photos throughout the stay — we missed our pup a lot, and it was such a comfort getting those check-ins and knowing he was doing well. Deboye is attentive, responsible, flexible, and genuinely kind. We’re so grateful for the care he gave Johnny and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone thoughtful and trustworthy to care for their dog.
What an amazing couple! They set up a time for us to get the dogs acquainted and meet first, which I love. I received updates, pictures, and feedback on Henny behaving so well 😊. I will definitely book again and maybe even make it a routine. Their dogs are well trained, and very sweet! They also have a safe space for the dogs to free roam to get outside without fear of running in the road. I can tell they’re pros!
Nancy was an incredibly friend to Luffy throughout his stay, and she took such good care of him that when we came back (after his excitement), he laid right down where he claimed his spot to be! He always looked comfortable in all the photos and videos Nancy sent, and we were happy to know he was in a safe space. Would recommend 1000%!
Monica was able to help me out with care for 2 dogs at the last minute! She was able to take them for walks and put up with my dog's nervous stomach, and we appreciated her help so much. Her dogs are very sweet and she sent multiple updates over three days. Great sitter and would recommend to anyone!
