“Amy was great to work with. She gave us daily updates and adorable photos, took Winter for lots of walks and backyard play time, and left the house in great condition. We would absolutely rebook with her!”

“Nancy is simply the best! She instantly fell in love with our tuxedo kitty, Ranger, and gave him wonderful, loving care. She was attentive to details and kept us updated through text messages and photos. We had peace of mind knowing our kitty was in great hands with her, and we will definitely Invite her to come back again the next time we go out of town. She also left our home very tidy and clean.”


“Anthea communicates promptly and professionally. She was on time for our first meet-up prior to petsitting and arrived early for our sit so that our dog would have the smoothest transition possible. She took excellent care of our pup, exercising him multiple times a day and giving us regular updates on his mood and behavior. She provided us with lots of pictures and he was clearly having a great time. If he could talk, I'm sure he would have told us to stay a couple of extra days so he could have more fun with Anthea! She has a great understanding of dog body language and was easily able to help him feel comfortable quickly and know what situations were working for him and when he was feeling more hesitant. We couldn't be more pleased!”

“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”

“Danielle is a delight! We feel so lucky to have found her! Our two retired racing greyhounds, Luna & Cosmo, adore her as much as we do. We were hesitant to leave for a mini-vacation without having used Rover before. Danielle put us at complete ease immediately. We didn't have single worry while we were away. She feels like an extension to the family. We feel absolutely comfortable having her stay in our home with our two pups repeatedly! Thank you Rover for getting us in contact with Danielle; and thank you Danielle for being a perfect friend to Luna & Cosmo!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.
“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

“Vicky, was amazing! This was the first time we left our pets alone with anyone outside of family and she made the decision stress free. She met with us the day prior to discuss what was expected and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked questions and was genuinely interested in making sure are pets and home were taking care of. Her updates while we were away made our trip worry free as we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Even our cat who normally hides from strangers was comfortable with her! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”

“Kelly did great watching my boys for me! Very communicative, and sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies for you, and I will 100% be reaching out to her if I need help again in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old. I adopted my most recent rescue about five years ago. I take her on multiple long walks every day! I also have experience with senior dogs and disabled dogs. I currently work part time and make my own schedule, so I can work around your needs. I am available for multiple check-ins a day, and will walk whatever route needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and live right next to a park with walking trails. I have a dog who loves playing with other dogs, but can be separated if needed.
“Frances took care of my girls 🐕🐈⬛ and my home for 2 days/nights while I was away and she was amazing. Our approximity from each other, and work situations made her the perfect fit for me and my pets. I will definitely be hiring her regularly. Frances kept me updated and informed with texts and pictures and followed all of my wishes and the girls’ needs. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much Frances!”

“Sylvia has sat for our young dog several times now and always does a great job! We especially love all the communication so we never have a chance to worry about our pup. The house is left clean too!”

“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”

“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.”
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! We have a very fragile diabetic pup, that we adore! Because of her insulin needs and blood sugar checks, as well as also having addisons disease (which complicates her blood sugars even more), we haven’t gone on a family vacation since her diagnosis three years ago. She is an amazing dog, but complicated to care for. So, when our family was planning to leave town, we found Krystal on Rover. After seeing her past work history and her comfort with administering injections, we decided to meet her and see how it went. She stopped by and talked with us and met the pups. She took detailed notes about their needs and medications and we knew within minutes Krystal was the perfect person to watch them. Before leaving on vacation, Krystal came over again and re-met the pups, she completed the medications, blood sugar, insulin and feeding routine while we were there to answer any questions she may have. That gave us even more confidence with leaving. Krystal completed the medication routine with ease and the fact that she cares enough to run through the routine with the owners before they leave speaks volumes to the quality of care she provides. When we were on vacation, we kept in touch about my pups blood sugars and insulin needs, she sent daily photos of our crew and when we got home, our house was perfect and our dogs looked amazing. We also have a naughty cat and Krystal was fabulous with her too! I recommend Krystal to anyone that is looking for someone to watch their animals while they’re away. She provides exceptional care and you can tell Krystal cares for them like they’re her own. Also, I personally know how hard it is to leave your animal when they are medically fragile, but Krystal is 100% competent to care for animals with challenging needs!”

“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”

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.
“Tiffany is fantastic! She treated my dogs like her own. She is not only trustworthy and kind, but she made sure my fur babies were stimulated, entertained, and given lots of love! She is communicative and always sending updates. I will continue to use her and I recommend her 100%.”

Sara pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time we had left our two dogs with someone other than family for so long. We definitely had a peace of mind knowing Amy was caring for them and making them feel comfortable. We arrived home to two VERY happy and content boys! Thank you so much Amy!!

Jade has a natural affinity with animals. When I returned home my pets told me they were well cared for and happy. We Highly recommend her. She’s an excellent communicator and asks questions when things need to be addressed. We also created a friendship and I hope that to be a long lasting one. Will definitely request her again.
