House Sitting in Riverwood

“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”

“Mackenzie is great!! She got along with our dog great. We're out of town for a week, so we had to split time between two sitters. She sent me photos multiple times a day. She's awesome! Will be booking her again”

“Donna was amazing. We had her stay at our house when we had to go out of town for the night. Donna showed up on time and kept in contact with pictures and text's. She went above and beyond for our 2 poodles, who loved her. Very kind, trustworthy and caring.”

“Scott was a blessing. He asked all the right questions, genuinely cared for our two pets and took care of our house as it was his. A kind person. We would welcome him at anytime”

“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”

“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!”

Barb B.

“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”

“Ann took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She is an excellent communicator and is clearly an experienced, competent dog sitter. We definitely plan to book future stays with her!”

Katie M.

“I can’t thank Benjamin enough for helping me with my wild puppy Bunny! He’s knowledgeable, calm, and supportive. My little pup loved snuggling and relaxing with him and it really took a lot off of my plate! I’ll definitely be checking to see if he’s available when I need another booking.”

Shaffer L.

“Mark was a wonderful communicator and took great care of our senior dog as well as our home. He sent lots of pics throughout the stay and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, and a happy pup! 10/10 would love to work with Mark again.”

About: Hello! We’re back! Located in SE Portland now, we are here for your k9 and kitty needs! My wife and I have been taking care of dogs, even running our own business for the better part of 6 years (in another life). From Hawaii, to Austin TX, and now PDX, we have experience with a range of ages, sizes and breeds- from puppies to old timers, we can handle anything and everything. Hopping back on Rover to help save some money for a house! Also part time photographers, you will also get semi-pro photos to show off your kiddos and no extra charge. :) :) We are very active and will love to take the pups on walks, hikes, rivers and even the coast (if allowed and what you’re comfortable with.) We will happily maintain training habits, handle medication, and give them lots of soft spots for relaxing and cuddling. I work from home, so they will always have someone around- this means lots of potty breaks in the day! We can provide references and social media info so you can check out pictures and video at the meet and greet! :) I work full time and am available for your pets needs 24/7. My wife and I have 3 small dogs of our own so we have to keep a good routine. Due to the fact that we live in an apartment now, we are not capable of boarding your dog, but as a house sitter, we will abide by all rules, training, and schedules to ensure they are comfortable. You leaving can be stressful to them, so we make sure we provide a comfortable and safe environment for them so they can still thrive.

“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”

“This was our first time using Zoe and we were so happy with the care she gave our girls! We never worried about them while we were on vacation and we highly recommend Zoe!”

Elise R.

“Kelly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pets (dog & cat) while I was away! This was my first time booking with Kelly and from initial request emails, to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire stay she was very communicative. I never had to ask for updates as she'd make sure to send them daily with pictures which I always really appreciate. 10/10 recommend booking with Kelly and I'll definitely be booking in the future.”

Jenny P.

“Mary did a great job watching Turkey!”

Jill S.

“Jamie is a great communicator and aimed to make our dogs as comfortable as possible while we were away. We have 2 elder dogs that can require a bit more attention than most and Jamie provided just that. He also took great care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it.”

Curtis M.

“Marti was outstanding. We could not have asked for more. He did such a great job taking care of our dogs, our plants, our house. He sent us a movie of our pups that was a professional quality. He was a great communicator. I can highly recommend and from now on, he is our goto guy!”

Tamy S L.

“Sequoia is exactly who you want to care for your pets! We were here from out of town and had to leave our 5 month old puppy for the weekend. She is a rescue and still new to us and you might say we were over cautious with our choice of carers! Sequoia met us long distance before we came, answered all of our questions and made an exceptional impression from the jump. When we met her, we were immediately sure of our choice! Sequoia knows and loves animals; understands the needs of a puppy and fluent in puppy care. She is a very warm and easy going person. She kept in frequent contact including videos and photos. She was confident and responsible as well as transparent throughout. She had our full trust! Our pup loved her and was sad to see her go! We could not recommend her more and will hire her again if we are in the area.”

“Ashley was great! She took great care of my two Labs, cat, and fish while I was away. My pets were happy and relaxed when I got back, and everything was just as I left it—if not better. Ashley sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief to have someone to trust with my pets and home. I would absolutely welcome Ashley back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter.”

Brienne C.

“LJ was perfect. She obviously likes dogs and sent me pictures of them each morning. I came home to very happy dogs and my house was cleaner then I left. She even washed and changed the sheets on the bed she sleeping on. Highly recommended.”
