About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.
“Loki had a nice relaxed time hanging out with Laura for the day while we were out and about seeing some sights around Hood River. Got a couple of fun pics of Loki throughout her stay, and Laura helped her feel like part of the family while there. Thanks, Laura, for taking such good care of my little old lady!”
“Emmillie and Eden are wonderful! My pup had a great daycare experience and certainly kept Emmillie on her toes :-D She was so accommodating to my dogs needs and mine. Very communicative and provided all the daycare updates and photos. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend!”
“Skye-Ann was great. She was responsive and available when we needed a sitter. Our dog was happy as could be when we came to pick him up! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Roseann took amazing care of my two dogs and I would highly recommend her to care for your pups. She has a wonderful home with a nice big yard and is well set up to host. The second day of drop off my dogs hopped out of the car and ran to her front door. They were happy and I know they felt at home and definitely bonded with Roseanne. We will be back next time we are in town!”
“Our pup had an awesome stay with Aya! He went on errands and even was treated to a special trip to a local boutique pet shop for treats. He was very relaxed when we picked him up, so we know he had a great day. Aya took great care of him and we definitely recommend her services!”
“Great communication, personable, and great with our Dave pup. She had a playmate that fit his energy well and was able to exercise him on a very rainy day in her basement. He came back happy and tired! She also did drop off and pick up, right to the hotel, which was really helpful for us.”
“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”
About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.
“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”
“Allie is really sweet! She was available to get my dog in pretty short-notice, walked her for a bit, and gave her playtime with her own pups :) appreciated her taking my dog for the morning!”
“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”
“Prudence and her dog did such a great job with our German Short-haired Pointer! She is clearly a gifted and experienced dog sitter and kept up with our pup's energy but also got her to relax on our dog's first doggy day care visit. 10/10 recommend Prudence!”
About: My dog Loki loves other animals. We go on runs together a lot, and your dog is welcome to join, the more the merrier. Loki and I will provide top notch cuddles for your puppets or kitty free of charge! My dog Loki basically goes everywhere with me. If your dog is into that, they can tag along with us. Otherwise, I’m home a lot for the time being and able to provide the specific care your pet needs I understand every pet has different needs and can adapt to your dog’s lifestyle. I have the capability of molding my schedule to fit your pet’s schedule!
About: I grew up in a world of furry critters, all the usual and then a lot of unusual. I feel we owe them as much love and care for all the love and comfort they provide us unconditionally. I work from home and I am currently without a dog or house kitty of my own. I truly miss having critters around. If your location has good WIFI would love to come hang out for as long as you wish and play with your fur babies. If Wifi is not so good I can still come hang out but would have to keep it a little more limited. I work from my own home, on my own schedule. If your location has good WIFI would love to come hang out for as long as you wish and play with your fur babies. If Wifi is not so good I can still come hang out but would have to keep it a little more limited. I can bring your fur baby here to play (5 acres) but they can not hang out in the home. Perfect if your furry one is not a big fan of parks and large crowds (I am right there with them)

The Dalles dog parents share their Rover experiences
Oh my goodness! We are SO happy to have found Samantha and Colton! Our puppy Maggie had the BEST time with their dog Moseley yesterday. She played so hard that she came home and slept 6 hours last night for the first time! Samantha was right down on the ground with her making her feel safe and comfortable. They have a beautiful fenced yard where Maggie was safe and supervised. And Samantha sent multiple photos and videos throughout the day to reassure us that our 12 week old Maggie was in good hands. So grateful to have found this amazing couple and hoping that it can be our regular place to drop Maggie when we have appointments. 11/10 points!
