“Zoe was wonderful with our dog, Bode, giving us much peace of mind while we were traveling. She was reliable, communicative, prompt, warm and friendly. We will definitely use Zoe again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since high school from family to friends. Mostly have experience with dogs. Own one myself cute adorable golden retriever named hina. I work early morning shift at the airport and then have majority of the day to myself so have lots of time in the afternoon. I do live in an apartment but live right next to many trails and a lake. Plus a big dog park where I take mine.
“Jiwan helped me out last minute and was nothing but accommodating! I got super cute pictures and a great update of how the dogs did. I highly recommend using her for any of your needs :)”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child. In my life I have owned four dogs and three hamsters. Pets are not just pets to me but family. Any animal with me, I treat as if they’re my own fur baby. You’ll never have to worry about who is taking care of your pet because I take great pride in my work and have a lot of respect for you and your pet. I spent a few years working with my own pets, teaching them tricks, training, and keeping them active, and moved on to working with animals professionally for the past six years. I want your dog to have fun when they’re with me! Life is too short to not have a little fun. I hope to bring that fun into your pet’s life while you’re away! I’m currently working part time with Rover as a dog walker & pet sitter. I am available Weds-Sat from 6am-7pm to provide fun & safe enrichment for your pup! I live in a townhouse within a fenced community, with one small and very friendly dog. I do not have a yard, but have plenty of space to take pups out to potty and lots to sniff. My home is spacious and I have many blankets, toys, treats, and more. I have also installed baby gates to ensure it’s a fun and safe environment for all.
“We had such a great experience with Ariane! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and you can tell she truly cares about what she does. She took the time to listen to all of my requests and followed through on everything with professionalism and attention to detail. On top of that, she’s easy to communicate with. I’m grateful to have found her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life — from horses to fish, and most importantly, dogs. For the past 2+ years I’ve been a foster with the Portland Dachshund Rescue, caring for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with medical needs. Through local dachshund meetups and rescue work, I’ve become known as a trusted safe space for small dogs in the Portland community. What sets me apart is the blend of heart and hands-on skills: • Experience with senior dogs, medical care, and even injections when needed. • Specialized understanding of dachshunds and other small breeds. • A home set up with secure fencing and stairs for tiny dogs’ safety. • The flexibility of working from home most days, with the option to bring pups to the office on others. I treat every guest like my own — with patience, love, and individualized care. Most days I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. Most Tuesdays and Thursdays I go into the office, but I can often bring a guest dog with me if needed, so they won’t be left alone. Because I only host up to two small dogs at a time (20 lbs and under), I can keep routines flexible — from regular potty breaks and short walks to cuddle breaks on the couch. My schedule is designed to give your pup a safe, consistent rhythm while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying at my townhome or I’m caring for them in yours, safety is always the top priority. My home is rescue-approved with secure fencing, pet stairs, and even an outdoor ramp in progress for tiny legs. Guests are always supervised, indoors and out. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys, and I’m happy to follow any security routines or send photos so you feel comfortable. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you, and a safe, happy experience for your pet.
“JJ did a wonderful job walking our two Mini Australian Shepherds! Their energy is so calming for these two rambunctious dogs--it's been love from first sight. We are looking forward to JJ checking in on our fur babies in the near future!”
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to Guinea pigs and lizards. I’m adaptable, and can take care of anything you need. I’m excited and ready to meet and help out you and your babies! Fun fact about me: I’ve actually traveled to Pennsylvania to pet sit! My full time job doesn’t start until the middle of August, so until then I’m free! After September 8th to mid November, I’ll only be available weekends (Friday night to Monday morning.) After that, I am available until January. I am free all winter and summer long! I do have a part time job that I work 6-8 hours a couple days a week. I do not know my schedule far in advance, but I can request days off to accommodate you and your pets! Building trust with you and your pets is huge. I’d love to schedule a meet up before taking on caring for your pet so they can get to know me and be comfortable. I am adaptable and care for your animals no matter the circumstances
“Anelys is so wonderful with my 2 dogs! They are always so happy and excited to see her. She communicates very well and sends great pictures. She gives daily updates and lets me know if I should have any concerns. She’s SO caring and reliable. A true angel to my dogs.”
“Tiana was great! She worked with her partner to make sure they got good times for our dogs... Communicated with both my mom and I fire each of our dogs and we're overall amazing! Will def go with them on our next trip!!!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 4 or 5, starting out with cats and growing into caring for dogs around age 11. Throughout the years I have helped family members care for their furry loved ones of all sizes. Although I'm a cat lover, I also love big, friendly doggos too! I also have personal experience with older pets as well, both kitties and dogs, and have had to do pet hospice care. I work part-time with a company where I'm frequently around animals and do my best to care for not only their spaces, but their furry family members as well! I'm mostly available early to late afternoons and evenings during the week, but sometimes my schedule permits me to see more flexible depending on your needs. I have a yard with plenty of room for your 4 legged baby to run freely or relax in the sun. My home also has lots of space where they are able to relax as well and to decompress and sleep.
About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.
About: With over 15+ years working with animals, I understand how hard it is to be away from your pets — and how much they mean to you. That’s why getting to know each dog’s individual needs is the first thing I focus on, before anything else. Every dog communicates differently, has different comfort levels, and settles in their own way, and I take the time to learn that instead of assuming one routine fits all. I currently have my own fur ball - a Samoyed — daily grooming, sensitivities to food, and plenty of agility work to keep her fulfilled as a working breed. Caring for her has taught me just how much a dog’s happiness depends on meeting their specific physical and mental needs, not just the basics. Having owned dogs of all sizes over the years, from small to medium breeds, I’ve learned that a high-energy working dog needs something completely different from a laid-back senior — and I adjust my care accordingly, whether that means extra playtime, a quieter pace, or sticking closely to a special diet or routine. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog becomes part of the household, not just a guest. I love the outdoors, so there’s always room for a walk or an adventure with a furry friend by my side. Since I work from home, pet care isn’t squeezed into a rushed morning or evening — it’s woven throughout my day. I take breaks to check in, play, and go for walks, so dogs get consistent attention rather than long stretches alone. Feeding times, walks, and rest periods stay on a steady schedule, and I’m always nearby to notice if something seems off. It also means I can stick closely to a specific routine or diet your dog is used to, without any guesswork Dogs need more than just love and attention — they need real stimulation, both physical and mental. A tired body isn’t the same as a fulfilled mind, and every dog’s needs look different, so I treat that as part of their care, not an afterthought. There are no kennels here — dogs have free roam inside my home, plenty of space to relax and play, and constant updates so you always know how they’re doing
About: All throughout my life, I have known the joy of owning a pet. I’ve had cats, hamsters, and dogs since I was a child. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs up to about 120 pounds. The dogs i’ve owned, I regularly would bathe and groom as well as take them on various activities in the community. I’m originally from New York so I used to love to bring my dog Cooper to the dog beach in New Jersey! sometimes a nice car ride is all a dog needs! I currently work 32 hours a week caring for individuals with disabilities . Due to my line of work, I have a lot of patience and empathy when it comes to caring for anyone- human or canine. My current schedule is Sunday,Monday,Tuesday & Thursday from 2-10pm so I have a lot of free time to care for a pet. I also drive from Gresham to Oregon City so I don’t mind a commute to care for the right animal. I also love going for walks as a form of exercise so dog walking fits perfectly into my every day life! I live in an apartment complex that is on a quiet residential street. I live with a roommate and her small dog Parsley. Parsley is very friendly and loves dogs big or small even though she is only 4 pounds .
About: I am a dog groomer and sitter of 3 years, I have a standard poodle and a Mexican hairless dog. I also show my Mexican hairless dog in akc dog shows. I have experience with reactive dogs, intact dogs, and primitive dogs. My specialty is aloof breeds as I love the connection and bond, it makes it even more special when they trust you. I work full time as a dog groomer and admin at barkzone, but your pup would be able to come with me and hang out in the office safely away from the other pups with fresh water and access to a backyard for supervised potty time I have a separate dog room for feeding time and kennels for unsupervised time away from them. If they need to sleep in a kennel I have extras or they can sleep with me. I do not have a fenced yard but I can offer structured walks around the block or to the parks! And lots of play time
About: I grew up working in my mother's veterinary clinic. I provide loving, educated care for all animals giving comfort by meeting them where they are. I work from home so can be with your beloved fur babies at all times. I live with two other animal lovers who would adore them too. I would care for your pets in whatever way you tell me to. You make the rules. Treats are available and frequent potty visits are provided.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need. My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Troutdale
Emily did an amazing job with both my dogs, but especially my girl who I just got from a local rescue and isn’t sure about new people, let alone a new person coming into the house when I’m not there. Emily was patient, came over to meet her (them) several times before starting their weekly walks. Will absolutely ask her to help out in the future!
