2. Helen C.


“Helen is so sweet and trustworthy! Our pup had never stayed with anyone before, so we were anxious but she immediately put our mind at ease. Our house looks cleaner than we left it and our pup looks happy. We’re so grateful! Thank you so much Helen!!”


3. Chloe F.

“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! We felt super confident leaving our dog and cats in her very capable hands and they all adored their time with her! Chloe not only showered our babes with love and attention, but she took such great care of our our home and went the extra mile and we came home to folded laundry that we'd left in the dryer! Her communication was excellent and she was super thorough and interested in learning about each of our pet's individual quirks, traits and needs. We're so happy we found Chloe and will absolutely be reaching out to her again next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Laura was fantastic! She was flexible and willing to stay late/adjust her hours if necessary. She was also great with her communication and sent updates throughout the day as she was watching my 12-week-old puppy. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”


9. Beth P.

“Beth was wonderful from start to finish! When she came to meet the dogs and us before booking with Rover the first time they inexplicably didn't bark when she came to the door (a first!) and they were comfortable with her from the first sniffs! Beth reassured us with a text as soon as she got to our home. Beth took great care of our two Shih Tzus & shared photos daily so we knew they were happy & well cared for! Beth followed our instructions to the letter & asked questions when she needed more details, & also left our home in at least as good condition as we left it!”

“Randee did an amazing job with our needy and anxious old dog. He hates being alone but is not great with other dogs and Randee was so great at managing his needs.

It was so reassuring to have Randee there with him and know that our dog was in good hands. Thank you Randee!”

We came home to a clean and orderly house. 5 Stars all around!!!”

17. Evita G.

“This is our second time hiring Evita to take care of our pets and, once again, she did an amazing job. We were out of town for a week and we knew our cats and dogs were in good hands with her, so we were able to just enjoy our time away. Thank you, Evita, you're the best!”


18. Alvaro C.

“Woody was great and took excellent care of our boxer Charlie while we were out of town for the weekend. He sent us lots of updates and was clearly loved by Charlie.”


20. Elizabeth H.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth! She really went above and beyond for Erwin. My guy hasn’t been feeling the greatest, and she was so attentive to his every need. She was super communicative, sent lots of photos, and even made sure I had videos so that I could monitor him from afar. I’m so sad that we’re moving away from Portland because I don’t think I’ll find someone as awesome as she is. I definitely recommend her! Thank you again, Elizabeth!”
