“Crystal was amazing! Took amazing care of our dog and home while we were away. Great communication, updates, and pretty sure our dog was having more fun than when we are home. Absolutely would recommend.”

“Rachel was awesome! Gus was cared for and we received many updates to assure us that he was in good hands. Gus was happy and loved for an entire week!”

“Marisa took great care of the fur babes while I was away. She communicates well, is reliable, and left the house in good condition. Hope that she is able to sit again in the future.”

“Johnny did an excellent job watching my senior bulldog, Moose. Johnny was responsive and sent well timed pics/ updates. Also my house was nice and clean when I got home. I will not hesitate to book them again! Thank you Johnny.”

“Paul is the best! Our dogs are always tired (in a good way) and happy when we get home after hanging out with him and Arlo. He sends a lot of nice updates, pictures and videos, so we never have to worry about them while we’re traveling. 10/10!”

“During a rough start thanks to my anxious dog, Samantha was communicative and patient. I think it paid off and once Cava warmed, they had an excellent stay. Pictures and updates were provided every day. Samantha was able to help us out on pretty short notice as well so we are thankful. Will be using Samantha again.”

“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”

“Santy took such great care of my dog and apartment while I was away, and was able to do so very last minute! Super responsive, responsible and easygoing. She also understands reactivity and was able to work with my anxious cattle dog very well. Highly recommend!”

“Chardonay did an incredible job watching our dog and home while we were away! She gave him a ton of love, kept his normal rhythm intact, and was communicative and provided updates and pics along the way. Highly recommend and would trust with our pet again.”

“Molly was the absolute best! She worked with us on some scheduling difficulties and ended up saving the day. She kept us totally updated with photos and messages and didn’t hesitate to ask questions which I really appreciate. Can’t wait for Molly to house/dog sit again!”

“Heidi was amazing with our two boys! We just moved to Portland from out of state and it is a scary thing to have to find someone that you trust with your fur babies, but Heidi was great from the start. She came over a day before her stay to meet the boys and for us to show her around. I felt at ease right away. We have her booked for two more stays and have no hesitation booking her again.”

“Joseph watched our two dogs and home for a few days. He was available for a meet and greet prior and provided cute photos and daily updates during his stay. Though our velcro dog would have loved some more human time (he can't get enough) we came home to happy dogs and a clean house!”

“Daisy was great with our dog, Thea, and sent us lots of updates while we were away. Thea’s collar was also frayed and broke mid-walk, and Daisy managed to get her home without issue. Daisy also left our home in great condition. We are so grateful Thea was in such good hands while we were traveling!”

“Melissa was wonderful with my kitties! I had her stay overnight at my place while I was out of town and she kept me updated and sent me pictures of them every day :) she was very attentive to their needs and I came home to some very happy boys! I'll be using Melissa for any future pet sitting needs!”

“David took care of my 2 year old golden retriever and home while I was out of state for 5 days. Before confirming, David came to the house to meet Merlin and Merlin relaxed with him immediately, curling up at his feet. That is not typical of my very enthusiastically greeting dog! Merlin and home seemed very calm, clean and well cared for upon my return. He kept me in photos and we checked in by text a couple of times, mostly because I've never left my pup before. I give him 5 stars absolutely!”

“Kendra was kind and reliable. She cared for our bubba while we were away on holiday. She communicated well and we returned to a clean house. We would recommend her and book her again. When our flight was delayed she even adjusted to stay a few hours later than originally planned and I’m beyond grateful for quick response and support.”
“Anna did an amazing job house sitting for our pups for 6 days. She was so good with our senior lab and his needs. She helped our you get pup get her energy out on walks and reached out when there was a house issue so we were able to address it quickly. Our dog who can normally be anxious when we’re not home loved Anna. We’ll happily hire Anna again as our dog sitter.”

“We’re so grateful for the excellent care Jess provided to our dog, the photos and updates while we were away, and her thoughtful attention to detail. Highly recommend, and hope to have her back again!”

Portsmith pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shana and Ryan did a wonderful job caring for our house and our two dogs, Yuki and Malka, while we were away for a week. They were around a lot of the time, walking, cuddling, and keeping Yuki and Malka busy. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We’ll be using them again!

Jess is an incredible sitter. She is clearly very experienced and made me feel completely at ease from our very first meeting. It was the first time we’d left our dogs over the holidays, which was hard for me, but Jess asked all the right questions and sent thoughtful daily updates. She was also incredibly gracious and understanding when I was briefly unreachable. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.

Katherine took great care of our pets and home while we were away for the holidays! She was communicative, sent daily photos of them and even made sure they had a special Christmas but bringing toys and treats. I recommend Katherine and plan to have her back!

James did a great job pet and house sitting for us while we were away for the holidays. He communicated clearly and responded quickly. Our dogs were taken care of and happy! Our house was also very tidy and clean when we returned. James is responsible and it helped us feel at ease while we were away. Thanks again, James!

Kendra was kind and reliable. She cared for our bubba while we were away on holiday. She communicated well and we returned to a clean house. We would recommend her and book her again. When our flight was delayed she even adjusted to stay a few hours later than originally planned and I’m beyond grateful for quick response and support.
Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.
