“Sarah and her family were beyond amazing when we boarded our 2 year old rescue dog Kali for 4 days. Our dog has some quirks and anxieties and Sarah was so kind and welcoming about it. We got daily updates and super cute photos, and it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable. We are so relieved that she had a wonderful place to stay, and we definitely plan to rebook!”


“If I could leave more stars than 5, I would - Allison is just wonderful; it’s such a blessing to leave Juno with such confidence. Thank you, Allison! :-) See you next time!”

“Bentley can get really nervous around new people but immediately warmed up to Sandy. He was exhausted when he came home so I knew he had a great time! I loved getting pictures of him while I was away! Sandy is wonderful!”
“Christopher took excellent care of Annie, giving her lots of individual attention. (She prefers people to dogs, so Christopher's undivided interest was just right.) He took her for fun outings, threw the ball for her, and generally made her feel special. He also went above and beyond what I expected by giving her an extended brushing and a bath: her very own spa treatment. He obviously loves dogs. Thanks, Christopher!”

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”


“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”

“Tammy was great! She took really good care of our senior dog, hand fed him when needed, played as much as he could and let him chill wherever he wanted. We felt at ease leaving our dog with Tammy (and her husband and their adult daughter). Our dog was calm and relaxed when we came to pick him up. Thank you, Tammy.”
“Laura truly cares about dogs and will take amazing care of your dog. My dog is very timid and scared of most people. She was in great hands with Laura. Laura has a beautiful backyard where your dog can run around or just lay in the sun.”

“Ricky is absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend him enough to care for your doggo. I have very high standards when it comes to who I leave Kolbe with while I am away, and Ricky far exceeds them every time: He is an expert in dog training, goes above and beyond to make sure all dogs in his care are safe, not to mention Kolbe ADORES him and his dog. Trust me when I tell you that Ricky is the best there is.”

“Dahlia & her partner Nic were fantastic watching my senior dog. My dog has some quirks and special needs in her old age (medication, eating schedule, etc) but Dahlia was unphased and accommodating. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing my dog was in such great care. Our flight was delayed one hour returning from our trip, and Nic was so kind to stay up the extra hour so we could still pick our dog up on the planned night. Thank you, Dahlia & Nic!”
“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”

“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”

“Gabriela was wonderful, she sent plenty of photos and pupdates while I was away. I could tell my dog, Boba, was at ease in the photos and she seemed pretty relaxed when I brought her home. Thanks a ton, Gabriela!”

“Theresa was amazing! From the start, she was super easy to communicate and plan with. She took great care of Sampson, and even went above and beyond when he was dealing with some allergies while she watched him. I would recommend Theresa to anyone and we will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Amy and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for our two little Papillons. We left our dogs with Amy and her family for two weeks while we were in Europe. They are very experienced with dogs so they know how to give the dogs time to adjust to the new surroundings and help them feel right at home. It was lovely to know our furry kids were with a family and had the run of the house and a nice big yard to play in. The best part was when Amy sent email updates and pictures of our dogs while we were gone. It made us smile every time we got an update and we felt so much better about leaving them. We highly recommend Amy and Rover.com. Thank you!”

“Keaton and fam were awesome! Daily check ins with photos of our dog having fun and being comfortable. He took great care of our dog and was totally evident in the pictures and when we picked her up! Highly recommend, will definitely use him again!”


“Our small dog, Bijou recently spent her first overnight with Jamie and Nicole. They were very welcoming to Bijou and us. They took excellent care of her. She almost didn't notice us when we came to pick her up. I take that as a good sign that she was feeling right at home. We feel totally comfortable leaving Bijou with Jamie, and will be taking her back for a longer stay soon.”

“He was able to come to my rescue when I was on a trip and ended up in the hospital. He kept me updated and provided a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!!”

“Josh did great with our cantankerous 16 year old chihuahua! He allowed Max to get acquainted with the other dogs but also gave Max his own space to come and go as he needed to accommodate his frequent nap schedule. Josh sent daily updates and was very pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend him for boarding needs!”

“Our dog Mia came back looking so relaxed and happy after her time with Kimo. He’s very responsive and accommodating. We’d love to have him watch Mia again!”

Janae was AMAZING with Heimdall! And when I say Heimdall is not your average, easy little houseguest… I mean it. 😂 He is a high-maintenance, professional-grade escape artist who seems to believe fences, doors, gates, and human rules are merely suggestions. Leaving him with someone takes a LOT of trust, and Janae completely put my mind at ease. She was attentive, responsible, patient, and clearly took his quirks and Houdini tendencies seriously. I was actually able to enjoy my weekend knowing he was safe and being well cared for. What made her even more amazing was that she also took the time to go over to our house and check in on our other two dogs, Madeline and Maris, who didn't need the same level of supervision as Heimdall. And she wasn't even remotely intimidated by Madeline...our 160-pound Newfoundland who is basically a small bear disguised as a dog. Heimdall came home happy, healthy, and...most importantly... he was still there when we cam to get him hahahah. That alone deserves five stars! I would absolutely trust Janae with our dogs again and highly recommend her, especially if you have a dog who needs a little more attention than the average pup...or apparently one who outweighs some grown adults. Thank you, Janae, for taking such wonderful care of our crazy crew!

Christine and Steve are the family that accepts you pups as their own. I will never want someone else looking out for my girls. A personalized experience filled with photos, texts, care, attention, and the knowing when I pick my happy girls up that we all feell they have been staying with family.

My pup can be a bit reactive so I’m always nervous to meet new sitters, but she loved Timothy right away! He was able to help me out last minute and took great care of her while I was away. I highly recommend Timothy and will definitely reach out to him for future sitting.

We had the sweetest experience with Jaclyn! She took such wonderful care of Una and sent us the happiest photos throughout her stay. It was so clear that Una was loved, cared for, and having the best time. 🥹💕 We’re so grateful we found her, and we’ll definitely reach out again the next time we’re in Portland!

Sandy was absolutely amazing to work with, and Charlie thoroughly enjoyed his stay! I would highly recommend Sandy, especially if you have an elderly dog. She takes caring for senior pups very seriously and provides them with the extra attention and compassion they deserve.

Emiline was amazing! Before the sit, Emiline was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Just a few minutes into the meet and greet, I could tell Boutros was comfortable with her. Once the sit started, I got SO MANY updates (which I love). I never wondered how he was doing, as the updates were informative and clearly showed him having a good time. She was very thoughtful about B’s paws and overall comfort during the hot weather. I came back to a clean house and happy pup. I highly recommend Emiline and hope she’ll be available for future sits!
