“I was so relieved to find Bobby last minute to walk my dog for a few days. He was reliable, friendly, and really prioritized my dog's well being. We will be sure to use him again in the future. Thanks Bobby!”

“Ramona took to Byron immediately. He is very attentive and asked all the right questions about habits and cues to ensure our young dog had a great walk. Thank you!”

“Lillian is wonderful! I knew she was a good fit at our first interaction. The dogs loved her instantly as well. Very kind person and responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth has been wonderful with Poppy! Everything was so last minute and she's been accommodating, communicative, and I've felt incredibly comfortable and happy with leaving my pup in her care for walks.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, both dogs and cats, plus a few reptiles and fish along the way. I tend to be the ‘go-to’ friend who cares for pets when they go out of town. I have a gentle demeanor and try to meet your pet with whatever they need to feel safe and happy in the absence of their family. Finding comfort in knowing your pet is safe and cared for can be challenging and I would love to help ease some of that stress. I am a massage therapist with short and sweet work days, typically only gone for a few hrs at a time. With all this free time I would love to help care for your babes while you’re away. I currently have one dog, a mini Aussie, who loves being around dogs and could use a bestie to burn some energy with! We spend lots of time at dog parks, walks in the neighborhood, and snugs on the couch after a long day of running off the zoomies! I have a fenced backyard and plenty of toys to share! Our neighborhood is walking friendly, butted up to Columbia Park for a more relaxed walk if cars/people create some anxiety. I drive a Tacoma with a converted backseat made just for safe dog rides! Let’s roll down the windows and cruise!
About: I was raised as an animal lover in a home with two dogs, two cats, and one bearded dragon! My appreciation extends to creatures great and small -- I have performed some light farm-sitting. I have pet & house-sat since highschool and I feel comfortable and confident with: large dogs, reactive dogs, pets with special medication needs, and skittish or hostile cats. I want to make sure your pet is getting the care they need from me; I can give pets and comfort to a senior kitty, or make sure your pup has sniffed everything in a one mile radius! I'm currently working part time and I should have flexible availability for what service you're looking for. Please feel free to message me about any specifics you have questions about! I want to ensure your pet's routine stays as close to usual as possible so they are happy and healthy! When I've cared for reactive dogs, I did my best to walk routes that avoided potential triggers. To follow medication schedules, I will try my hardest to trick even the most suspicious pet into taking their medicine. I will take care of your pet as you'd like me to!

About: Having always had a deep love and connection with animals, I’ve been caring for pets of all ages and kinds since I was a wee kiddo. Since the beginning, I’ve approached every animal with a big heart, and a smile, whether it’s with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or even insects. I promise to do everything I can to ensure that you, your loved ones, and your home are treated with the respect and care you deserve. I am a newbie to Rover! So, right now, my schedule is pretty flexible. Give me a shout, and I’ll do my best to work something out! I currently travel via foot, bike, and TriMet. I currently help care for two indoor cats in the house where I live (owners are my roommates). I make sure they receive love, attention, every day, as well as making sure the cat boxes are cleaned regularly to avoid odors and potential airborne illness. Similarly, I will make sure your animals receive the same amount of care, if not more, as to make sure your and your loved ones’ needs are met!
“Michael was great with the energy of our big lab, and he was easy to plan and communicate with. We had a happy, nicely tired-out pup after their time together, which is JUST what we needed. Many thanks to Michael.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for more than 10 years. I really love to be around dogs they bring lots of joy. I had 5 dogs and my parents relied on me to feed, walk, and wash them. Being around dogs for so long I have a good understand of their behavior. I am currently attending university of Portland, so sadly I am far from home and don’t have any interactions with my pets. But back home I would do my dog routine in the morning right after I eat breakfast. I would always keep and eye on the pet but at the same time not bother their peace. I usually like to play around with pets, so they will be busy.
“Kate was so sweet and personable! She genuinely has a love for dogs and treated my furbaby as if he was her own! :) She is also very responsive and professional and we truly appreciate her!”

About: I am an open and frequent communicator and I send multiple pet pics a day! I am also able to administer medication as needed and abide by a specific feeding schedule. My goal is to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for both pet and owner alike 🧘♀️🐾 I have availability to go on walks after 5 pm. For house sitting, I am available in the morning before 9 am and again after 5 pm. Open availability on the weekends. Cleanliness of the home is a priority to me, alongside addressing the needs of the pet within it. I am also able to follow specific home instructions/preferences (no shoes, etc). I understand i am a guest in the house and will operate as such!
Portsmith dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chris went above and beyond all expectations while he was caring for Winnie. He made sure she got plenty of exercise, took her on trips to new parks, and sent lots of picture updates. He was very easy to communicate with as well. I will absolutely be requesting his services in the future over any other sitter I’ve used. would give more than 5 stars if I could!

A wonderful dog walker, who deals with a pup that will eat anything, but more importantly, a great person that is superbly friendly when you happen upon him and his pup walking the streets of St Johns. Both I and Frankie are so thankful for his professionalism, kindness, and ability to change schedules on short notice, plus he is great about communicating any delays or scheduling issues that arise.
