6. Gyllian M.
“A++ I'm sure if you are reading this you are trying to figure out how to give your fur baby the best life possible when adulting gets in the way. Gyllian is definitely the answer! She is friendly and has a true caring compassion for animals. It's a huge load off my stress level knowing Zeus is happy and in good hands. Which brings us to the most important part of this review. When Zeus gets home from his walks he does house zoomies. And when I finally get home from work and ask him how is walk with Gyllian was he gets so excited and I get extra lovings so I know he is happy! Book with Gyllian, you will be happy that you did!!!”

16. Jon & Alexandria S.
“I cannot recommend Jon’s rover service highly enough! From the very first interaction, it was clear that they truly care about the well-being and happiness of the pets they look after. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shone through in every aspect of their service. It was comforting to know that my furry family member was not just being looked after, but was also enjoying their own little vacation full of walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. The rover went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules, understand our pet's unique needs, and even offered helpful tips and advice. Returning home to a happy, relaxed pet was the best testament to the wonderful care they received. This service has become my go-to for pet sitting, and I wholeheartedly trust them to treat my pet with the same love and attention they would their own. Thank you for providing such a stellar service!”
17. Phoebe B.
“Phoebe did amazing with my dog! She kept us updated and was adjustable with our schedule. Would definitely recommend Phoebe to any dog lover out there!”
18. Erin S.
“Erin is a loving pet owner of a rescue dog and two sweet cats. She takes such great care of them and they are so well-loved. She is our neighbor and a friend and has frequently helped with our ancient cat and 2 big dogs. Erin would be a great choice for helping care for your pets. She is calm, easy going and she would easily manage pets of all sizes and demeanors. I wholeheartedly recommend Erin!”
19. Kylie O.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs throughout my life and have always loved spending time with them. I have personal experience caring for dogs as I have helped to take care of my dogs growing up. I unfortunately do not have a dog anymore, so being able to spend time with dogs any chance I get brings me a lot of joy. I am reliable as friends and family trust me to primarily babysit their kids along with their pets. I am Junior nursing student at the University of Portland. I am off on Thursdays. My class schedule is different everyday so just let me know what works with you and we can figure something out! I am very respectful of peoples personal space and will be cautious when working with your dogs. I understand that your pets are family and would never let anything happen to them. Your dog will receive care with much love.
20. Alyssa D.
“Alyssa was so great with our anxious pup, Rocco!! This was his first ever experience with a dog walker as opposed to a dog sitter and we’re so happy we lucked out with Alyssa! She was super patient with him and got him to even run around a bit in our yard. Thanks for everything, Alyssa!!!”
