“This is our first time leaving our puppy with anyone especially for multiple days. Cindy was really responsive and flexible as we figured out our plans. Kuma had some playmates while he stayed and came home tuckered out. I loved the vidoes and the photos she sent to us, letting us know he is outside getting exercise and having lots of fun! I am glad to have found Cindy for Kuma and the family!”



“Marna and family took excellent care of Gus. Daily updates were provided and prompt/detailed communication about drop off/pick up made a quick getaway stress free. He was a part of the family and was a happy, tired boy when he came home. We’ve already booked our next stay!”


“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”


“We are so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such wonderful care of our dog while we were away, treating him like part of her own family. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates with photos that put us completely at ease. It was clear from the moment we met Kelly that she genuinely loves animals and has a real gift for connecting with them. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Kelly again for future stays!”


“After our meet & greet, Shorty was so happy to go back to Vicky & Bobby's, he couldn't wait to get out of the car. They have a great house & awesome back yard perfect for dogs. Their dogs Magic & Brooklyn were great with Shorty, & he sometimes has problems with new dogs. Vicky sent me great pics every & really put my mind at ease, seeing Shorty livin the doggy life. Vicky even brought Shorty to work with her at the pet hospital where she works & I know he loved that. Travis, Bobby's brother was also really great & Shorty warmed up to him right away. Shorty is used to sleeping on the bed & they allowed that, and also figured out something yummy for him to eat when he wouldn't. I highly endorse Vicky & Bobby, & Shorty's looking forward to his next vacay!”


“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”


“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”


“Rachael was amazing with Maizy. Maizy vacationed with her for 8 nights. As promised, we received many pictures and updates daily. She was in tuned to how our girl was feeling and we could see the happiness on Maizy’s face in the pics. Rachel reached out with food questions when needed. We seriously could not have asked for a better vacation for our Maizy girl! Highly recommend Rachael! Hopr the secret doesn’t spread too fast so we can book Rachael again!”

“Christina was amazing with our dog Winnie! It is very clear that Christina is a true animal lover. Winnie stayed with her for 7 nights at her home. This was the longest we have been away and Christina checked in regularly with pictures and updates. Winnie was able to go on a lot of puppy play dates and fun adventures with Christina. I highly recommend Christina - she is seriously awesome!”


“Jennifer is wonderful! She cared for my 3 dogs for a week while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable the entire time. She gave daily updates with fantastic photos of everyone having fun. I know my crew can be a lot to handle at times and she did a fantastic job! Thanks again, Jennifer!!”


“Sarah was outstanding with my nervous pooch, welcoming him into her home and making him FEEL safe and comfortable. Communicative, with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and use again in a heartbeat.”


“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Kathleen B. She welcomed our dog into her family for the weekend and cared for him like he was her own. I highly recommend Kathleen B. I look forward to having her watch our dog again in the future.”


“Molly agreed to watch our 11 year old Jack Russell on short notice for our trip to Maine for my son's wedding. The minute we met her husband, Ricky, we felt completely at ease in leaving Bud. Molly gave us just the right amount of updates and photos so we knew Bud was in good hands. Their two pugs seemed like good companions for him. Again rover.com saved the day and thanks to Molly, we were able to enjoy a very special weekend in snowy Maine!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”



“Kris took great care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. She was sensitive to all of her particular needs, habits and routine, snuggled with her on the couch, let her sleep in the bed with her and treated her as if she was her own while I was away. She gave great, personal and personalized care and attention and put my mind at ease that I knew my dog was being well looked after and taken care of.”


“Rose was incredible! She sent multiple picture and video updates everyday, took my pup on adventures, and was excellent at communicating. I will definitely be utilizing Rose in the future.”


“Anne is an amazing caregiver! My dog, PeeDee, loved his stay while I was on vacation. She made him feel right at home and welcome. Anne is very communicative and friendly, and has been a joy to talk to while I've been away. I highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. I can't say enough good things! Thank you, Anne! 😊”
