Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!

Monday took great care of our beagle, Luka! Sent updates and pics. Luka has separation anxiety so it’s important we find a Dogsitter who is patient and understanding. We highly recommend Monday!

I had such a great experience with Raven! She took amazing care of my schnoodle during an overnight stay. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made sure he got plenty of walks and kept me updated with lots of photos, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and responsive from start to finish, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely hire her again next time without hesitation!

This is the second time Ethan has stayed with my 2 doggos for a close to a week. They both love Ethan, and were happy to have them stay (well, Percy is really only happy when I'm home, but he was as happy as he GETS when I'm not around). Ethan kept my garden alive for a week during August and the house looks as good or better than when I left it. We will happily have Ethan back again the next time I go out of town.

We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

Michael is so awesome!!!! My fiance and I booked a trip for a concert, and didn't realize our hotel did not allow pets unattended and had decibel alarms. He seriously saved the day. I booked VERY last minute (8 hrs prior to sitting, and brand new to rover). Michael responded extremely quick with very clear communication. Brownie points for the bathory shirt for sure. My pup is anxious and hasn't had to stay with a stranger like this and he seemed to do great w Michael. We got plenty of updates, and again super clear communication about our pup! He really did so amazing and we could tell our lil guy was happy after being in his care :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

About: Since I was 5 years old, I’d accompany my mom on walks with our Alaskan malamute Hannah. Growing up she was the heart of the home! Now, me and my partner live in Portland as proud cat parents and frequently host my brothers Swiss Shepherd for sleepovers and outdoor adventures. I love all dogs, and have a massive sweet spot for big fluffers! Currently a nursing student at Linfield, I am looking for furry friends to spend study time with and get me outside on walks! I have school 4 days a week and work per diem (~2/3 days per month at the hospital). My evenings and weekends are open and I have great flexibility right now for pet sitting. Since most of my free time is spent studying, drops ins/house sitting works great as long as there’s working wifi! In clients homes, I always respect rules and put the pets safety first! I believe in open communication, leashes, picking up poop, and getting adequate exercise for the pups. I am always on the lookout for abnormal behavior, indication of sickness, and watching what they eat. I want your baby happy and healthy!

Lucinda is just amazing.!! Thoughtful, gentle, and conscientious of my specific needs for MY high maintenance needs for my dog that I asked of her. Her communication throughout the time she stayed was impeccable. She took lots of pictures. I almost didn’t make it home her last day bcuz of flight issues and she was immediately willing to watch another day on the spot. What more could one ask for. She left my home exactly as I would. She’s also just a caring and lovely person too!!

12/10 – Sparkle is the house sitter everyone wishes they could find. ✨ From the moment we met Sparkle, we knew our home and pets were in exceptional hands. She went far above and beyond anything we expected from a house sitter. Not only did she take impeccable care of everything, but she also gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sparkle is reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made it easy to relax knowing everything was being handled so well. Our home was spotless when we returned—honestly, it may have looked better than when we left. What truly sets Sparkle apart is the genuine care she brings to the job. She treats your home, pets, and routines with the same respect and attention she would give her own. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and kind all in one package. If you’re considering hiring Sparkle, stop looking and book her now. She’s the kind of sitter who becomes your first choice for every future trip. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care and complete confidence while they’re away.
