House Sitting in Troutdale

“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”

“Michelle looked after my 15-year-old cat and 10-year-old (but still energetic) lab mix for a 10 day vacation. Both of the pets warmed up to her right away, making me feel comfortable choosing her to stay in my home and look after my pets. Michelle sent regular updates and pictures while I was gone and left my home spotless and my pets happy. I would highly recommend her pet care services.”

“Our original housesitting plans fell through at the last minute and we were leaving for the airport in a couple hours. Tiffiny was quick to respond and come meet our puppy. She was very flexible and took excellent care of our pup and our house, greatly relieving our stress and anxiety. Levi loved playing with Tiffiny and her daughter! We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”

“Penny did an excellent job caring for my 5 FurBabies over a weekend!! They were all happy and calm when I returned! She took the time to send me photos. It was first time I’ve left them with someone new. Great experience! Thank you so much Penny❤️”

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and and excited to get to know yours and help out this summertime! For almost 15 years, I helped raise and take care of my family dog, Dakota. She was terrier mix who loved to play and eat like there’s no tomorrow! A few years after she passed, my sister adopted a puppy, and being a dog aunt has healed my heart once again! I love seeing dogs grow into their own personalities and learn from real world experiences. I feel that helping raise puppies, and continuing to care for them as they age gives me first hand insight on how dogs should be treated for best results: with patience, attention, and compassion. I feel confident giving commands and helping with basic training to puppies and actives, while also being more than happy to sit and chill with others :) Starting in June, I will be off for summer break from my job and will be available almost every day. I have pretty open availability on the weekends and am flexible to change things up. I’m looking forward to having a bit of a mixed schedule and taking things as they go. When sitting in a clients home, I think it’s important to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable since it is their space after all! I will do everything I can to help, whether it’s trying to play or get outside for a walk, but if it’s simply not happening and your pup is feeling nervous about someone they’re unfamiliar with in their home, then I will never push a boundary.

“Amberle is the sweetest and a true professional! Our pets loved her so much and she was so communicative we really felt our pets were in great hands. She is so sweet and left the house better in better shape than we left it! We will 100% be trusting Amberle with our pets again!”

“Melinda did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs and cat over the weekend. My very energetic dog got a lot of play time, and my shy dog was given lots of love. I felt very confident that they were all being well cared for while I was away.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’ve trained dogs in basic skills, cared for puppies 24/7, and have hands-on experience with cats, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and creating calm, safe spaces. I enjoy walks, cuddles, and building trust with every pet, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently do dog and cat sitting full-time and truly love being around animals. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with toys, giving treats, cuddling, bathing, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, care, and affection. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I have a fenced yard and always maintain secure spaces for pets. I visit dogs in their own homes, handle feeding, potty breaks, and medications carefully, and ensure they’re happy, safe, and well-cared-for at all times.

“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”

“Karen is everything you want when leaving an anxious weimaraner alone with a pet sitter for the first time. She’s communicative, sending updates by text and video to keep the anxious pet parents at ease. She’s compassionate, understanding Poppy’s need to speak out loud and sleep really close. She’s calming for all of us. We are confident we have found the perfect dog sitter.”

About: Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I’m pretty comfortable around them and looking after them,too. I officially became a dog mom in 2019 after graduating from college when I adopted an elderly Chihuahua named Lucy. She passed away two years ago, but caring for her gave me experience with senior dogs and administering daily arthritis medication. I now have my girl Peaches. She will be turning 3 in August and is puggle who keeps me on a consistent walking schedule! Through caring for my own dogs and pet sitting for friends and family, I’ve gained experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I also regularly watch my brother’s 2-year-old Staffie mix who is the biggest baby and I love like my own fur baby. I love going on walks, hikes, and visiting farmers markets/local parks/coffe shops, so your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and activity while in my care. I also like to call myself a “master pill hider” because Peaches has definitely made me work for my skills when it comes to giving daily medications 😂 I look forward to meeting your fur baby and possibly you, too! I promise to send consistent photos and videos while they’re in my care, and I’ll always communicate if I notice anything concerning about their behavior. I’d rather ask questions than assume something is normal. Im currently a full-time graduate school and do have in-person classes on campus downtown, so if I’m house sitting your furbaby would have to be ok being alone while I’m away. For walks, I will always keep your dog leashed and be mindful of outside temperatures while we're out. For drop-ins, I’ll make sure they have plenty of fresh water, receive any requested meals or medications, and have supervised outdoor time. If I need to administer medication, I’ll make note of when it was given and observe them afterward to ensure they’re doing well before I leave. Their safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities.

“Isabella is absolutely the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! Not only did she take amazing care of our pets, but she also cleaned our house while pet sitting. Her communication was great and she took the cutest, silliest pictures of our pets. She also had experience with lizards, which was a huge bonus. We had a couple of last minute changes too, and she was able to accommodate us with no problem. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

“Macynn was so great with our doggos. Our oldest has occasionally been starting minor scuffles when stressed and Macynn handled it perfectly the first day after we left. She communicated frequently and sent pictures without being prompted. She stayed at our house and left it exactly as we did. I could barely tell she'd stayed at all. Would recommend Macynn to everyone and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks Macynn!”

“Alice took care of Gracie overnight for me, giving her a good walk and company. Once I showed her the house, she handled everything easily. When I got home Gracie was happy.”

Wayne C.

“Carlos did a great job taking care of my dog Mags while I was away. She was very tired when I got home, so it was clear that she got plenty of exercise. Mags is a very energetic dog, and Carlos handled her well! I would definitely have him stay at my place again.”

“Michelle was very communicative to us while we were away. The fact that our fur babies would not even bark at her is HUGE. She was very easy to work with & gave me several updates with pics. She stayed at our house while her own cat was having her own litter. That was amazing. Above & beyond, she washed our sheets & remade the bed since we're arriving after midnight. WOW! I know I'll be booking Michelle again. THANK YOU!!”

Celeste W.

“Maryola was on time, great communication, and fantastic with Meiji. She was very patient as he warmed up to her. She took him for his routine walk then interacted with him playing chase with tennis ball launcher. She really was tremendous and I highly recommend her. It's clear experience with her own pets and her working with them at doggy daycare developed skills to care for pets well!!”

Charlie C.

“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”

About: I grew up on property where people would dump their cats. I have helped raise bottle babies, seniors and momma cats. I also grew up with 2 dogs, taking care of them with my mom. I currently have 4 cats of my own and help care for my grandmas dog Romeo who you see in my profile picture. I may not have veterinary licensing or certifications, but I have years of real life experience and promise your animal will be well cared for and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for any animal, fuzzy, scaley or slimy. I currently have a pretty open schedule for drops ins, walks and overnight stays. I babysit Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons so I am unavailable from 12-5 those days of the week, but potentially open to accepting a request in Gresham within that time frame. I am comfortable crating, feeding, cleaning up after & doing basically anything a pet owner needs to do for their animal. I will respect your home and your wishes with your pet and be sure to maintain a calm, caring environment for your pet to feel safe in.

“Oh my goodness things could not have gone any better. This was my very first time using Katherine/Rover and needing to leave my pet with someone. The whole idea of not being with my girl for an extended period was so uncomfortable to me. Katherine was so professional. She went above and beyond to help calm my nerves and make this process pleasant. It was so fantastic coming home to a well cared for home and pup. Katherine is not only kind but skilled. She made me want to look for reasons to need her again. When I was missing my girl while on the road. I had pictures and videos of her. I loved seeing my dog smile knowing she was not only ok, she was happy in in good capable hands. It was everything to us to not have to remove my dog from her home when we went somewhere she couldn't be with us. Thanks Katherine. Many thanks for a job well done. My heart is so full.”
