“Chelsea was great! Very welcoming and made sure our pup felt at home. I could tell at pick up that they took great care of her and really treated her like family. Will definitely book again.”
“They were perfect! John sent me pictures and videos every day. When I went to pick Chloe up, I saw John and Chloe walking and Chloe looked so happy while making eye contact with John.”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“Katherine was great! I was really worried that my Loki would be stressed and afraid while leaving him overnight. He has only been away from me overnight, once. He looked relaxed and happy in the pictures Katherine sent me. Thanks for hooking me up with Katherine. LuAnn W”
“We had such an amazing first Rover experience with Britney and truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our two female German Shepherds. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and communicative, which immediately helped ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs with someone new. She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our girls playing, being goofy, relaxing, and genuinely looking comfortable and happy in her home. Those updates meant so much to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Britney was also very upfront and honest with any questions or observations regarding the dogs and was always open to suggestions that could help them settle in more comfortably. One of the biggest things we appreciated was her experience with German Shepherds. You can absolutely tell she understands the breed and their personalities, energy levels, and needs since she previously owned one herself. She had toys available, a great environment for them, and also boarded only our girls without other dogs during their stay, which made us feel even more comfortable and helped reduce stress for them. She also gave us thoughtful feedback, training tips, and helpful suggestions that we genuinely appreciated as first-time Rover users and German Shepherd owners still learning along the way. It never felt judgmental, just supportive and caring. Overall, Britney went above and beyond for our girls, and we are so grateful for the care, patience, and attention she gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring for their pets.☺️🐾🩷”

“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”

About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years now locally before joining Rover. I have done overnight care as well as just walks/drop-ins multiple times. I have expertise in all sizes from small to large pets as well. My schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide care to pets regularly, whether it's early morning or afternoon to night. My schedule allows me to provide assistance whenever needed for the pet-owner! Since I have two dashing St Bernards at home, my family and I normally feed them breakfast & dinner, and take them on walks frequently. In clients home, I intend to showcase the same love to their cutie animal during drop-ins or long period stays.
“I am so grateful I met Jennifer! She is so sweet and caring and she took great care of my home and my babies 🐈🐈. I always worry so much about my pets when I’m gone and Jennifer really helped put my mind at ease. She’s wonderful- highly recommend her and will be using her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 11 friends family & neighbors would ask me to check on babysit, feed and play with their cats. Over the years I have had several cats.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”

About: As an animal lover, I'd consider myself very experienced with animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Before losing him in the fall of 2023, I raised and cared for my dog, Chaps, for 12 years. It was a great 12 years, and I loved spending time training him. "Sit" and "down" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the tricks Chaps could do. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am also comfortable taking care of most any special needs your pet may have. Tell me what you and your pet like, and I will do my best to provide an experience just the way you, and they, like it! Your pet will be safe and comfortable with me! I'm pretty flexible in how I organize my time. Walks, feedings, etc. can all be arranged with me to satisfy your expectations. Having had our own pets, we feel confident that satisfying your pet’s needs while they’re in my care should be seamless. Our backyard is dog-safe with a 6-foot privacy fence and access to a maintained yard with grass. Following your instructions and having the ability to communicate will provide a sense of security for you and helps me to give the best experience for your pet if I have questions about your pet’s care while you’re away. I’m a big fan of communicating!
“Jessica really helped me out when I moved to the area with my separation anxiety dog Kelly. Kelly was a bit nervous during our first visit, since she was so stressed by our recent move, Jessica was very patient with Kelly. And that evening when I went to pick her up, I could see she was almost ready to move in to her house! Running around happily. And for all the following visits, she went right into her home for daycare, without any hesitation. I think that tells me Jessica really treats Kelly well! :)”

I'm very responsible -- have taken countless walks as well as extensive experience house/pet sitting. Will be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable, safe, and also that they have fun :)
“I wanted to write another review because Melani continues to go above and beyond in every possible way. After many more stays, I can honestly say she is one of those rare people you feel incredibly lucky to find. My dog does not just enjoy being with her, he genuinely lights up when he sees her, which says everything. Melani is not only dependable and communicative, but she is also so thoughtful and intuitive when it comes to my dog’s needs. She pays attention to the little things, keeps me consistently updated, and always makes sure he feels loved, safe, and comfortable. It gives me total peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands. She has become such an important part of our routine, and I truly cannot imagine trusting anyone else the way I trust her. If you are considering Melani, do not hesitate, she is everything you could hope for and more. The full package!”
About: I have been responsible for dogs ever since I was 10. I have raised four different dogs from when they were puppies to elderly. I can speak their language and an act as an expert dog body language interpreter. I am gentle enough to handle small dogs and strong enough to handle 100+ lbs ones, as well. I recently took early retirement and have flexibility to take care of your pets, whenever needed, on walks, play dates, or overnight stays at my house with my dog. I love dogs! I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs and have had two as an adult. I'm a believer in routine and consistency. My own dog, who is 8 years old, is our fur baby and gets walked 3 times a day, rain or shine. I love being outside getting exercise with him, and keeping him socialized with other dogs and people. We spend lots of time playing and snuggling.
“I used Rover for the first time this week for my 5 month year old puppy and Irene was amazing. Extremely flexible with pick up/drop off. She has a great backyard, so my pup came home nice and tired from a good day of play. She was so great that I booked again and plan to have her as my “go-to” for doggy daycare! Highly recommend!”
“We have a puppy so everyone knows what that comes with 😬 I really appreciate Mark/Lester being welcoming, easy going and very responsive. Our reservation for daycare was a little last minute and it was our first time using Rover. I’d send our dog to them again.”
“Anupama took such great care of our dog Mimi! She sent photo updates, communicated well throughout the whole stay, and asked us thoughtful questions about Mimi to help provide the best care for her. Thank you Anu!”
“Heather was a last minute life saver! I gifted my partner a pair of concert tickets six months prior as a Christmas present, and it was finally the day of the concert. However, I was at risk of missing the concert due to my dog, Chaos, having a big oral procedure 1.5 weeks prior that resulted in 20 teeth extracted and multiple sutures. Two of the sutures had come undone causing him to have a painful experience until they were able to be re-sutured (problem solved!) two days before the concert. I monitored Chaos’s recovery up until the day of the concert to make the final decision if I will stay home with him or attend the concert with my partner. Thankfully Chaos improved enough in the final 24 hours where I felt comfortable boarding him. When I called Chaos’s regular place of boarding (Pet Hotel at Petsmart) the morning of the concert, I understandably learned they are unable to accept pets with sutures due to policy. I opened Rover and began searching for a last minute sitter who had immediate availability, didn’t have more than one dog, and could provide extra care and attention to my recovering dog. That’s where I found Heather, who offered to set Chaos up in a pen in the kitchen so he could have his own space to chill, and overall had a wonderful vibe of assuring me he will be in good hands. An hour later, I dropped Chaos off with Heather and was scheduled to pick him up at 11:30pm that night. She sent us updates including a photo of him relaxing in the shade in her backyard, drunk from his pain meds. Exiting the concert venue and getting on the MAX took longer than expected due to the large crowds, resulting in us running late and pushing the pick up time from 11:30pm to 12:10am. I felt guilt and shame typing that message since it was already late in the night but Heather was super cool about it! When we picked Chaos up, he was very relaxed and could tell he had a wonderful experience hanging out with Heather and her family. Although I checked my phone frequently during the concert, I was never worried about Chaos and was able to fully be present and enjoy the experience with my partner, all thanks to Heather! Heather is amazing, understanding, has a wealth of knowledge & experience with dogs, and we happily recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services!”

About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.
“I felt so at ease with Brody taking our two dogs for a walk! He's very punctual and took pictures of them while away from the house. I would definitely ask him to walk the dogs again.”

“Chelsea was great! Very welcoming and made sure our pup felt at home. I could tell at pick up that they took great care of her and really treated her like family. Will definitely book again.”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“Katherine was great! I was really worried that my Loki would be stressed and afraid while leaving him overnight. He has only been away from me overnight, once. He looked relaxed and happy in the pictures Katherine sent me. Thanks for hooking me up with Katherine. LuAnn W”
“We had such an amazing first Rover experience with Britney and truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our two female German Shepherds. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and communicative, which immediately helped ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs with someone new. She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our girls playing, being goofy, relaxing, and genuinely looking comfortable and happy in her home. Those updates meant so much to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Britney was also very upfront and honest with any questions or observations regarding the dogs and was always open to suggestions that could help them settle in more comfortably. One of the biggest things we appreciated was her experience with German Shepherds. You can absolutely tell she understands the breed and their personalities, energy levels, and needs since she previously owned one herself. She had toys available, a great environment for them, and also boarded only our girls without other dogs during their stay, which made us feel even more comfortable and helped reduce stress for them. She also gave us thoughtful feedback, training tips, and helpful suggestions that we genuinely appreciated as first-time Rover users and German Shepherd owners still learning along the way. It never felt judgmental, just supportive and caring. Overall, Britney went above and beyond for our girls, and we are so grateful for the care, patience, and attention she gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring for their pets.☺️🐾🩷”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Kim was great! We picked up Ivy healthy and happy. Kim had all Ivy's things packed and ready to go. The photos she sent assured us Ivy did great over the 9 days we were out of state. We felt totally comfortable while away knowing Ivy was in good hands.”
“Finley had the absolute BEST time with Manisha and her family. They showered him with love and attention and sent many many pictures and videos to let us know how he was doing. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Manisha!!”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Jill was INCREDIBLE! It was our first time needing a long-term sitter and Jill was able to help coordinate care in a very timely manner!! She was very personal and communicative. She really goes above and beyond, daily exercise, runs, playing, dog park, socializing. Basically anything your dog needs. She even offered some homemade/homecooked dog food. Appreciated all of the photos and updates. Thank you so much Jill!! Bodhi had a blast!”
“Stephanie was awesome! I was going to be late picking him up and she was very understanding and accommodating. She gave constant updates on how he was doing, and even brushed him out a couple times!”
“Hayley & Graham are amazing!! Their dog Greer is an absolute doll and will shower you will so much love. She got along with my two high energy pups so well & has the best personality! 10/10 experience and will be rebooking for all the travel plans they are available for!”
About: Kids, cats, dogs all love my companionship. But none can be more endearing to my heart than the love I've gotten from Our Doggies hearts! I've travelled to Baton Rouge, Whidbey Island and Vermont to give the best care for these beloved dogs. They're worth a million bucks to me. Enjoy you vacation in peace knowing your animals are treated with love, kindness, plus any extras they may need. Have over 50 years experience working with dogs and other animals. I am retired from the health care and teaching world looking forward to be with your fur babies small or big. I’ve returned to the Forest Grove area and I am looking forward to getting to know you and your beloved animals. It’s a large home I have a studio apt to house cats and or a family of pets together within my home.
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Can’t thank Grace enough for her attention to our adored Labrador retriever. Her updates, photos and reports of daily activity was comforting and encouraging that he was in great hands. Our phone service was spotty but greatly appreciated her communication.”
“Lea (and family) took such great care of my dog! I could tell he was welcomed into the family and it means so much to have someone trustworthy caring for your dog when you are away. Great communication too!”
“Lorri was fantastic. She sent us a number of pictures and texts (letters from our dog) during our trip. It helped to reassure us that our dog was doing fine. He came home healthy and happy. We highly recommend her.”
“Really great dog sitters for my dog Mango. I just know every time I book with Saawan and Kangna, my anxious dog calms down so much! I love seeing the updates and photos of Mango having fun playing and relaxing. Will rebook and highly recommend these two for great service.”
