“Appreciated the superb communication, especially getting pictures of my happy pup, but all along every step of the way. This was the first time I left my dog overnight, and Kristopher made it a comfortable experience for me.”
“Paul and Arnel treated our little old man like a king, and sent the photos to back it up. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing the pup was WELL taken care of. Five stars, highly recommend. Thank you guys!!”
“She was a wonderful host! She even sent a photo update to my phone while I was out of town. Sandy knows dogs really well! Fezzik was more tired from having so much fun on his vacation than I was!”
“The last thing a pet parent wants is to worry about their beloved furry baby while traveling. Hayleigh provided just the right amount of love and care to Dash. I’m so grateful for sitters who truly love dogs and understand dog behaviors. Dash is by no means a problematic dog but he experienced some anxiety with another sitter that I had no choice but to switch sitters mid booking. Hayleigh was a comfort and even arranged to pick him up at previous sitter. I have no doubt she knows what she’s doing. Thank you!”
“Linda was great with my dog and was very communicative. She went above and beyond to make my dog’s stay more comfortable. I would book with her again for any future dog sitting services.”
“Veronica is very sweet. She was very nice to my dog. Her 2 dogs are very friendly and seems like my dog had a great time at Veronica’s house. I will ask her again. I do strongly recommend her to all dog owners.”
“Kayla was a great sitter. She sent updates on how Rocky was doing. He looked happy and well cared for when we picked him up. I will request her again in the future. Very satisfied.”
“Our pup felt right at home at Amanda’s! She had all the toys and walks and snuggles a dog could want. And she had a blast (and got tuckered out) playing with Amanda’s dog, Ginger. Amanda is a sweet and caring dog person and we felt super safe with her caring for Duckie!”
“Jason and Lindsay & their boys were available at a moment's notice when my schedule sitter fell through. They provided Rosie with attentive and loving care, and I would absolutely trust them with my sweet girl anytime.”
“Athena has had a day time stay, but this was her first overnight with Dan. He sent regular updates and some amazing photos documenting her fun stay. She can be a little cautious and nervous around new things, and Dan was incredibly patient responsive to her needs. She can't wait to go back!”
About: Hello! My name is Serena and I've had a variety of pets since I was 14 years old, including dogs, cats and rats. I am very attentive and affectionate with all animals. I currently have a 3-year old chihuahua/lab mix named Nugget who lives to meet and play with doggy friends. I've raised and trained Nugget and my previous dog since they were puppies. I have 2 years of dog sitting and overnight boarding experience with my neighbor's 3 year old Berniedoodle, who I care for up to 5 days/week. I have experience administering pills and liquid medications, and managing special dietary needs. I work from home full-time. Your dog will receive round the clock attention. The floor plan allows me to keep an eye on them while working from my desk. I provide plenty of walks around the neighborhood and to local parks. We can play fetch in the fully fenced yard. There is also adequate space inside the house to run around and enjoy playtime with Nugget.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen and the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Luna. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and professional—always quick to reply to messages and happy to answer any questions. While we were away, Kristen sent daily updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands made all the difference. We will absolutely ask Kristen to watch Luna again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was amazing! I'd never boarded my dog before, and was a little nervous to since she is dog reactive & not a small dog at all. Miss Rena (my doberman) actually really loves people, she is extremely sweet & gentle with humans, even when confused about a situation. Logically, I knew she would be okay. But I've also been a sitter & worked at a doggy daycare for several years, so I know a scared dog can do some unexpected things. Laura took all my concerns seriously, made sure my girl was safe & as comfortable as possible 💛 Will absolutely hire her again next time I'm in Portland!”
“Hope has been great. Our Charlie has been welcomed into her home, treated royally and exercised well. We’re very pleased with Hope’s care & her attitude. Highly recommend”
“Wendy truly found a home away from home while staying with Erin and her family. I loved getting snuggle updates every morning and Erin sent lots of pics throughout the day. Definitely will trust Erin again with our Wendy girl! So fortunate to have found such a good fit for our dog.”
“Jamie and Nicole were the perfect hosts for my sweet Ralph. He was the only pet in their care and got all the love and attention he is used to getting at home. I received sweet updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend them to care for your pampered pet.”
“Jessica was an angel! My dog Atticus developed a stomach issue the first night he stayed over and she went above and beyond - preparing him a bland diet, picking up medication to help his stomach...I was so grateful to have him in her care! She clearly loves dogs and did the most to make Atticus feel safe and at home while I was away. I highly recommend her services and care.”

Kathy took such an amazing care of Nella. So grateful. She sent several updates/pics/vids everyday throughout Nella's stay, which really reassured me that Nella was in great hands. I was able to fully relax during our time away knowing our pup was getting all the care, attention, and exercise she needed/wanted. Really hoping Nella gets another opportunity to stay with Kathy. Thanks again so much!
This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and we are so happy we chose Jill! Our puppy had the time of his life and was very well cared for. You can tell that Jill really loves the pets she cares for. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay and was very quick to respond us. I highly recommend Jill!
We left our Labradoodle with Erin and her family for about two weeks and we couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. Erin is responsive, flexible, and most importantly kind which really put us at ease for our two weeks away. She provided daily updates with pictures and we would definitely recommend booking with her 👍.
Josh was great from start to finish. He made our boy feel at home and let us know how things were going every step of the way. His communication was prompt and he was flexible when our plans ended up changing at the last minute. We would definitely recommend Josh for anyone needing a reliable pet sitter.
Linda is AMAZING! Our boy is usually super anxious about new people but he warmed up to her so quickly! She asked all the right questions and gave all the right answers when we first met her. She sent multiple updates daily and so many pictures and videos, completely easing all of our anxiety about being far away. A million out of 10! We will definitely be booking with her again. 🧡
This is the second time Alexis has watched my dog Dave, and once again, I'm so happy to have found her! Dave came back a happy pup, who clearly had a great time with both Alexis and her dog Bruno. Updates were regular and informative, so I felt relaxed on my trip knowing Dave was in good hands. Looking forward to the next time!
Mel and her family were wonderful boarding my XL Pit Bull Jasper. They earned the trust of both Jasper and myself at the meet and greet, and dropping him off was so smooth and utterly lacking in stress. He was very relaxed in their home, evidenced by the photos they sent, which made me very relaxed
Rachael and Alex took such great care of our dog Bagel! Bagel had a huge smile on her face with each photo they took of her during the stay. They gave bagel lots of excerise and took her to the dog park everyday. Their two resident dogs are also so friendly and sweet. Communiction was fantastic. We will definitely be booking another rover stay with Rachael and Alex again!
Laura was amazing! I'd never boarded my dog before, and was a little nervous to since she is dog reactive & not a small dog at all. Miss Rena (my doberman) actually really loves people, she is extremely sweet & gentle with humans, even when confused about a situation. Logically, I knew she would be okay.

Laura took all my concerns seriously, made sure my girl was safe & as comfortable as possible 💛 Will absolutely hire her again next time I'm in Portland!
April and her family (including their pup, Zoe) were amazing! They are so kind and caring! Theodore (Theo), my pup, was in good hands. April provided peace of mind with daily communication. Theo was comfortable, happy, and well loved! Thank you for going above and beyond!
