“Milo has found his GO TO sitter🔥. Chris was amazing to work with and mind if i say very flexible and communicative. Our Milo had a blast staying with Chris And of course Bear and Cosmo. I would highly recommend his service to anyone. How he took the time to really get to know Milo is one thing but building a bond with him in such a short period of time is amazing. Really appreciate you Chris and looking forward to using your services again!”

“I have had Sandy watch my dog twice now, and I plan to make a reservation with her again the next time I go out of town. She is very attentive with my dog, and actually noticed an irregularity that led to a vet visit and a quick fix with antibiotics. Very grateful and happy!”
“We had a great experience with Debbie for an extended weekend stay! This was our first time leaving Egg with someone we didn’t know, but we immediately felt at ease. Debbie is clearly a dog lover and was so understanding of Egg’s quirks . She was incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, she was communicative and sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos of Egg. I highly recommend her and would gladly leave her in Debbie's care again!”

“Our lil lady had a wonderful stay with Peter. Having her safe and happy is everything. We always know Peter and Trevon treat her like their own fur baby. We get so excited, when we receive the photos and updates from Peter. Another great stay.❤️”

“Heath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”

“Thank you for taking such great care of our pups, Paul & Arnell! It's clear that you extended a lot of patience and care with our very active furbabies. And you two helped us feel so at ease with taking a long weekend vacation. We loved the photos and updates throughout the weekend and we really appreciate your hospitality and welcoming character. No doubt our babes were right at home while staying with you!”

“We had such a good first experience with Lajetta. She is a wonderful communicator, sent lots of photos and took great care of our dog. Our dog got along well with the other dogs, and was his normal self when picking him up at the end of the stay. Lajetta is proven to be great with dogs, and a responsible sitter, much appreciated!”


“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.”
“Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.”

“Otis had another wonderful visit with Amber and her family. The moment we drove up to her home, Otis couldn’t wait to exit the car. He was thrilled to see Amber! We appreciate the exceptional care.”

“Katherine took excellent care of my little golden doodle! Lots of updates and good communication regarding drop off and pick up. She is very attentive, and her dog sitting experience is very evident. I always felt like my girl was in good hands. Thank you Katherine!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Elizabeth was a fantastic dog sitter for my sweet, sensitive girl! She sent fun pics during my trip and reassured me that Hannah was adjusting well to the family home and enjoying lots of cuddles and walks. I highly recommend Elizabeth to take great care of your pup.”

“Alex is great! Super responsive. Great availability. Wonderful home and yard for cookie to romp around in. She is patient and underStanding about my sensitive dogs needs and truly an animal lover! Cookie was so excited to see her again so I’m very glad she is in good hands :)”


“This was my second time using Chava and once again, a total pro and wonderful caretaker of Roxy. Roxy, a very nervous and anxious rescue dog, was excited to go back to Chava's and much more comfortable the second time around.”

“Annika, John, and Pepper were great! We boarded our dog for the first time with strangers and he was understandably a bit anxious (and so were we). But they were great hosts and very responsive and extremely responsible. Pepper was a gracious host. Felix had a great time overall!”

Libby was great with Toby! It was his first time being away from us and he has some serious separation anxiety and a senior dog. Toby warmed up to Libby so quickly and we felt right away he was left in good hands. We loved getting photos of him having a good time and would definitely recommend her. We plan on re-booking in the future with Libby!

Kimo is officially Connor's sitter. Connor usually stays with family for when my husband and I go out of town. We just moved to Portland just over a year and it's just the 3 of us, no family to watch him. I came on Rover and saw Kimo's profile and decided to message him. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions and concerns about leaving Connor with him, he made me feel very comfortable. Connor was with Kimo a week, and everyday he sent pictures, videos, and responded to my text immediately. I highly recommend Kimo to watch your fur baby/babies.

Don and Melody took exceptional care of our yellow lab, Winnow, while we were out of the country. She got along very well with their sweet lab, Cody and enjoyed the routines of their household. We would not hesitate to leave Winnow with Don again in the future and hope to do so soon!

Annika and John were awesome. They have a great little dog named pepper that is full of love and energy. They sure took the nervousness out of what we had,lleaving our dog tiny Tessa behind, but she was in good hands and we got daily pictures and it all went better than we could’ve expected. Very highly recommended. Thank you, John and Liz.

Brett and Angel are exactly the kind of people you hope to find to care for your dogs—mature, responsible, and extremely professional. Our dogs had a wonderful stay, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book them again for future travels.

Lee was an amazing dog sitter! They kept us updated the entire time and sent photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We really appreciated the communication and attention they gave. Highly recommend Lee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Dawn is a dedicated and conscientious professional. When we left our little dog with her, he was a bit under the weather, and hadn’t been eating much. Due to Dawn’s TLC and care, she got him to eat daily. His health has improved, and he’s more active than before his stay with Dawn. Thank you Dawn.
