“Anthea took such loving care of my babies (a dog and 2 cats). She kept me informed of how they were doing and sent several pix. And she left my house in perfect condition. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Shannon was awesome! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat, kept the house in great shape, and communicated clearly throughout the weekend. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend her.”

“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”

“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!”


“Erin was wonderful with our cats! She even got our shy Maus to warm up to her! Great photos and communication. House was today and she even washed the sheets. Have already booked her for our next trip.”

“We’re so happy to have found anna when we needed someone to stay with our pups while we traveled for the holidays. She took great care of the house and our girls, sending regular photo updates and even doing laundry and dishes before heading out. She’s a gem!”

About: With years of experience caring for animals, I’ve worked with elderly pets, high-energy breeds, and reactive dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care schedules to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and communicative so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for your furry friend! I work from home full-time and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, and updates throughout the day. I intentionally open my schedule on the days I’m fully available, ensuring your pet receives my complete attention and care. Safety and consistency are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk structure, medication needs, and home guidelines. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times and never introduce pets to unfamiliar animals without permission. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away.
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. "I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”

“We highly recommend Cora to watch your fuzzballs. She showed up on time, was communicative, sent updates, and the puppy was very happy when we got home. Thanks Cora!”

“Anabelle watched our 3 dogs and they absolutely loved her. We have 1 dog that is very shy and every photo update he was snuggled up to her. Our house was clean, koi fish good and plant starts happy!”

“We count ourselves so fortunate to have found Amy to care for our pets and our home. Amy went far beyond our expectations: walking the dogs, car rides, treats, etc. And our anti-social cat warmed up to her too! When we drove away from the house we knew we had nothing to worry about. There is no doubt we will ask Amy to help us again and again. She made it all too easy. Thank you, Amy!!!”

“Peter really helped us out in a pinch! We were going out of town and Momo wasn’t able to go to her usual daycare, so Peter stayed with her in our home. This was her first experience staying at home without us and she was definitely anxious and skittish the first day. But Peter was very sweet and patient with her. He took things slowly in order to get Momo comfortable with him. He sent lots of updates and pictures, which really put us at ease. He took her on daily walks, played with her, made sure she took her medication, and took such good care of her. Momo was in great hands and we can’t recommend Peter enough!”

“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”

“Taz was amazing! This was the 1st time using this service for our newly homed rescue. She stayed overnight and helped our dog adjust well to the transition. Not only did she care for our dog but also our secondary pet as well. She sent many updates, loved our pets like they were her own, and took great care of our home as well! We came home to a clean space and happy pets. She went above and beyond. Even got some bonus visitors :) This was an amazing experience. Taz is great with animals!! Thanks Taz!! We will definitely book her again anytime we need someone. This just gave us a little more comfort and freedom to travel and feel ok that our pets are having their own little vacation too”

“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.”
About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.
“We always love having Chad come and stay with Julep. He is great with her and always leaves the house better than he found it. This time he watched Julep over the 4th of July (her least favorite day of the year) and in a heat wave. So so appreciate him!”


“We love having K stay and watch our wee ones. She is always very respectful of our home and manages to win over our more grouchy old pup. We look forward to scheduling with her again.”
Riverview pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!

Alex in now my go-to sitter for my Aussie. I really appreciate his clear and reliable communication, and I come home to a dog who is happy and well cared for and a tidy house. It's a relief to have someone I trust to take good care of my little dude when I go away.

Shelley was amazing!! Great communication and we had great peace of mind while we were across the country for almost a full week. We are so grateful for everything she did for us. We got daily updates and photos and our dogs seem so content with the care she provided. We will recommend her to anyone that needs her services!

Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.

We are so grateful we found Jenny! When we’re on vacation, it feels like our dog is too. Jenny takes her on car rides and adventures, and makes sure she gets all of the treats and love she deserves. This past visit she even went above and beyond to rush Winter to urgent care when a health issue arose. Jenny takes impeccable care of our house, gives frequent photo/ video updates, and is honestly just a delight to chat with. Winter is always excited to see her and I would definitely recommend her to any of our friends!

Elly was amazing! They took the time to get to know our critters before the booking by coming over multiple time for meet and greets. Our dog is timid and nervous of new people so it meant a lot that Elly took the time and was patient with our pets. Elly sent lots of updates and pictures, great communicator! The critters were safe and happy when we got back home. Would definitely recommend and book again!

Rosalyn did a couple overnight stays and daily sitting of our pets. She took great care of them, and the pets all liked her (even our scaredy boy cat felt comfortable enough to come out with her at the house). She was easy to communicate with and sent pics of each pet daily for us. We hope to utilize Rosalyn for pet sitting again!

Even before the trip Samantha showed reliability and care for the two dogs. Daily photos and updates made the trip all the more better knowing they were in good hands and enjoying their time. Handling two dogs can be more of an ordeal but she managed to give meet their individual needs and schedules. Came home to two happy dogs; would book again for a future trip.
