“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.”
“Hummus is the happiest when he is with Manisha. The only time my wife and I have a pleasant holiday is when our baby is with the Manisha :) such a sweet family that gives every pupper the best time of their lives! You will not find anyone better.”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“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!”
“Yvonne took amazing care of my sweet Greta while I was out of town for the week. She pampered her, sent me regular updates, and even administered meds. I will definitely use again!”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for our elderly dog. They gave him all the love and attention a little old man could have asked for. We will definitely use them again.”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“This family took great care of our dog and hamster, I highly recommend. I received pictures throughout our time away and updates on how the animals were doing. I will contact them for our next vacation away from home.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Aleisha and her family! They took such great care of our energetic, loving 2 yr old golden retriever, and it really showed. She had an amazing time playing and got along so well with their dog, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such a positive, caring environment. When we picked her up, she came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved—always the best sign! We would absolutely book with Aleisha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog boarder. 😊”
“Katie and her family were incredibly welcoming to our puppy Neko for her first extended experience away from us and our first time using Rover. We were so grateful to receive regular updates and pictures of her getting lots of exercise and social interaction, and were able to travel without her for the first time with peace of mind knowing she was having her own vacation. We will definitely book with Katie again and highly recommend her!”
“It was our first time boarding our dogs, one of which has separation anxiety. Mersal was amazing— very involved with the pups, taking them on walks and playing fetch. We received frequent updates/photos, allowing us to feel at ease throughout their stay. She will definitely be our go-to sitter in the future!”
“Kendall was great! She seemed genuinely happy to be taking care of our doggo. Every time she sent a picture he looked like he was smiling. Will be for sure rebooking in the future! Thank you Kendall!”
“Serena was boarded for 17 days with Stephanie, who was really great with my little baby. Stephanie provided updates religiously with photos and I loved all of the photos she sent. We had intermittent internet service for a few days while we were in Antarctica so I missed seeing her updates but as soon as we had internet access, I was so happy to see Serena's photos. I will definitely board Serena with Stephanie again in the future as long as she is available.”
“Takae and her partner provided exactly what the humans needed as well as what our Luna needed during her first boarding experience. Takae is a great communicator, and understood how helpful unprompted updates would be for the humans to enjoy their time away without much worry. The best part, Luna seemed to settle right in and Takae and her partner shared that her being there helped them too - to slow down and relax. 😎”
“Vanessa took excellent care of our dogs in her home during our extended trip. Our 80lb high energy puppy loves going to her house! We have hired Vanessa for doggy daycare and pet sitting, all professional and positive experiences. Highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommended — Reliable and attentive! Our dog Luna received excellent care, plenty of exercise, and thoughtful updates throughout the stay. Luna looked happy each and every day we were away. Thanks Melani for your excellent care!”
“I had complete peace of mind after I left my fur baby with her. My dog had so much fun at her place with Teddy. Definitely going to board Token again when we visit Hillsboro”
“My Fluffy was well taken care of and I was sent pictures while away. I love that Peter is at home all day so my dog that is used to bring with me isn't alone all day.”

“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Mary Anne was absolutely FANTASTIC with my four cat babies! I felt like she really cared about them and went above and beyond to ensure they were taken care of. I already am hopeful she’s available for my next trip as I 10/10 want to book her again!”
“We had a great experience with Samantha checking in on our cats. She made sure they had food and water and a clean litter box, played with them, and sent pictures/updates. Our cat who always hides for other people even came out to see her!”
“Ashley went above and beyond with her care of our cat Buddy. We have never used a pet sitter before but Buddy appreciated clean water, wet food feedings, and playtime for the week we were away. Our dry feeder turned off mid week and Ashley was able to get it working again. The key transfer process was smooth and efficient before and after the pet sitting. I would highly recommend Ashley to take care of your fur babies!”
“Susan was so kind and concerned for my elder kitty while I was gone. She paid attention to the subtle changes and noted them for me, which I very much appreciated.”
About: My adult life has blessed me with the love of cats. I came late into life of my first can and learned how truly special the bond of a cat was. I am experience in elder cat care and understand that every cat has a mind of its own. My current 3 cats have continued to teach my that calmness is what makes a cat home functional. My role is to provide your cat the same level of calmness they would have when you are home.
“Another great booking with Jurick! Sunday absolutely loves him. He’s in a great mood when we get home now and we love the twice daily updates and pictures. We feel very confident knowing Sunday is in great hands when we’re away.”
“Kelly is awesome! She went above and beyond in multiple ways-accepting our booking on late notice (only a couple of days notice), being flexible with our new location (our old address was still tied to rover when she accepted). Our cats love her, even the scaredy cat. We would highly recommend Kelly for your furbabies care.”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was born and currently have a 16 year old tortie girl named Lucille. I have experience with every stage of a cats life. I clean litter boxes, have administered medications including an inhaler, play time, etc. Since my cat is a senior, I have experience with handling a senior kitty. For example, I make sure she’s gentle with her joints so if she wants to come up and downstairs, I’ll carry her.
“Maya was so sweet and patient with our nutty dogs. They were obviously well cared for, and she kept us up to date every day with their activities and meals. I highly recommend Maya as a dog sitter!”
“Amazing cat sitter! Had to book with her again as she did such a good job taking care of my two cats. Loved her timely drop-ins and pictures/updates I got while I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is incredibly important, and I strive to provide the same attentive, dependable care that I want for my own dogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, rabbits, fish, and have spent time around horses and other barn animals. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, plenty of cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I also know how much reassurance matters when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and treated like family. As a dog owner myself, I have firsthand experience caring for pets with anxiety, behavioral challenges, and ongoing medical needs. I have a background in positive reinforcement training and believe in using patience, consistency, and rewards to encourage good behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, medication schedules, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your pet needs extra reassurance, a structured routine, or specialized care, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate support. My schedule is fully open and am dedicated to pet care in the Beaverton/Portland/Tigard/Hillsboro area. Due to having my own dogs, I am unable to Provide overnight care in your home but can offer boarding services for friendly dogs. In My Home: Your dog will be treated like part of the family during their stay. I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks and outdoor time, and Hazeldale Park is just a short walk away for additional exercise and enrichment. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines, rules, and training expectations to help them feel comfortable. In Your Home & On Walks: Walks are tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. Whether we’re exploring your neighborhood, staying at home, or enjoying a relaxed sniffari, I’ll provide safe exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of positive attention. I have a large dog stroller and use positive reinforcement techniques on walks. We will go over anlso review any training cues, commands, or routines you have established to help maintain consistency and good habits.
“Camille and her daughter did great with my two cats, one of whom is a kitten. They’re both sweet cats, but Duvalin can be shy and they were still able to coax her out of her shell for some playtime. We did not even do a meet & greet in person beforehand, but Camille followed my written instructions perfectly.”
“Vanessa is wonderful! We have left both our cats and our beloved pup in her care, and never have to worry about a thing. She is patient, kind, and the fact that shes a certified Vet Tech lends extra peace of mind to each stay. We always know every one of our pets is in the very best hands. Without her, I'd never be able to relax on vacation. I would highly recommend Vanessa-she is the ONLY sitter we ever use!!”
About: I grew up with no less than 3 cats at any given moment. I have experienced every kitty from my Sunny boy with feisty orange cat energy to my lazy mainecoon mix, Bronco. I understand cats needs and how those may change as their families leave for vacation. I am excited to provide your babies with comfort through cuddles, play, or simply making sure they can stay clean and fed while you are away. I am comfortable giving oral medications throughout the day and have experience with cats who struggle to take medication.
“Julieth has been been minding our kitty and house for the past six months. We travel a lot. She’s been diligent and caring. Our kitty is always happy to see her and play. So grateful for her help.”

“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”
About: If you're a dog lover, you should have dogs, right? I've had dogs all my life and we currently have two small well-behaved dogs, Daisy and Buddy, both under 20 lbs. My 23-year-old son Sam is a co-sitter (I'm primary) and your doggie will receive all the love it can handle! Sam used to volunteer as a dog walker at the Maui Humane Society when we lived on Maui and we spent Saturdays at the pet-a-puppy adoption gathering at the Maui Mall. Animals seem to know we're safe and loving and tend to come to us when they need help. We've rescued a duckling, a Mynah bird, a baby squirrel, a lost kitten, and two adult dogs, caring for them in our homes until appropriately placed or returned to their owners. We also took part in a humpback whale rescue when visiting Maui Feb 2023. I work from home as an instructional designer; my son is an student in animation and is also at home and absolutely adores every animal he ever met. Two responsible adults are here at all times, so this makes it easy to give your fur baby the attention it deserves. Our dogs are indoor dogs and have free roam of our house. We have a large, fenced, dog-friendly backyard for exercise. Our two small friendly dogs can show your dog the ropes. We recommend a visit prior to placement so they can all get acquainted.
“Alison is dependable, reliable and a great communicator. She takes great care of my Bernese mountain dog, who loves going to her place for day care. Thanks so mich”
About: Your dog should come home relaxed, not relieved it’s over. Some dogs want to come along on the good stuff with us: walks through Orenco Woods, hikes in the highlands, lazy afternoons at my sister’s duck farm. Others want a quiet couch and someone to sit with them, and that’s just as welcome. A year of professional sitting with consistent five-star reviews, and I’ve cared for everyone from a few-month-old puppy to a senior with arthritis. I take a maximum of two dog families at a time, so your dog gets real attention instead of a spot in a pack. No bite histories. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs aren’t stuck alone for long stretches. Mornings start with yard time and breakfast. Midday is a walk or quiet rest, depending on what your dog wants. Evenings flex to the dog: longer walks and outings for the active ones, couch time for the dogs who’d rather decompress. You’ll get daily photos and videos so you can see how they’re actually doing. Plenty of dog gates and separation infrastructure means dogs and kids have their own space when needed, and new dogs can decompress before meeting my resident dogs. I do slow introductions before any overnight stay and keep food and medications on a clear schedule. Fully fenced backyard, single-story home, no stairs to navigate. Crates available if your dog prefers one. Your dog stays in a real household with people who actually want them there.
“Vanessa was great taking care of Remi my 8 month old pup! I needed a sitter last minute and Vanessa got me booked right away with no problems, I really appreciated that.”
“I am so grateful to have found Damon to care for my girl Fiona. She is almost 14, blind, and diabetic, so I was nervous when my schedule changed and I was needing to find a daycare solution for her. I feel so comfortable dropping her off with him. I know that she will be well taken care of and he will quickly communicate any concerns.”
“Vinai was so very kind and easy to work with. His place was easy to find and I loved his wonderful dogs for my dog to play with. I very much appreciated his checking in with me often. I felt so at ease leaving my pet with him.”
“Haley and Graham S are the most caring, sensitive and excellent daycare provider and boarder for my seven year-old black Labrador. They are attentive to her needs, well organized, and have an excellent environment for my dog to play with other dogs. I am so pleased with the care that my dog receives twice per week and boarding as needed! I receive a report card and a photo for each visit-it is all the special touches that make these Rover providers exceptional!”
“Allison has been great every time we’ve taken our pups to her. She’s watched our boxer puppy twice and I don’t know how she still loves her little face after all the gremlining she does. Thank you so so much for watching and wearing out Keeley!”
“Wow, Jami was wonderful and you can really tell that she is an animal lover! She went above and beyond to make sure Duckie was taken care of at daycare. She even took him to the dog park so that he could run and play with the other dogs. He was sleepy and happy when I picked him up. I got adorable photos and video updates throughout the day as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“Marley could not wait to stay with Kirsten's family and.always looks forward to going back! I was thrilled knowing Marley wasn't just safe but loved. Kirsten and her family are just the best.”

“I am very happy with Marla & Keith, because Cassie received a lot of one-on-one attention. Marla is an expert at making a new dog (Cassie) feel at home in a new environment. Cassie was welcomed on walks with the other dogs - all of them much bigger than she is. And she got lap time too. The photos were a nice bonus. 😊”
“Mersal was a great communicator (clear, friendly, quick responses) and our high-energy husky shepherd mix had a blast with her for the day. Our goal was for our pup to get to play and have fun all day and Mersal and her dogs delivered! We loved receiving multiple photos and videos of all the fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Peter and his family clearly love dogs! They were super responsive and sent photos throughout the day. Charlie loved playing with their dogs and we will absolutely be booking again! Highly recommend!”
“I really appreciate Kristen taking care of our boy Sampson. This was the first time being with someone else other than the groomer and being around other dogs. I think she took good care to make him comfortable around the other dogs because he really wants to meet other dogs more than before. I would highly recommend Kristen to take care of your loved one’s. Thank you Kristen! Michael Parkison”
“Julie took wonderful care of my active Aussie. My pooch came home tired, and we all know that a tired dog is a good dog. I will use Julie again...the next visit already booked.”

“Alexis has been so good with Wilson, my greyhound. She honored all of my requests for him as greyhounds can be quite a different sort of breed than others. Her sense of care for animals is exactly what I was looking for and I would recommend Alexis to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pooch☺️👍🏻🐾.”

“We are so happy to have Josh walk our pups! He came over for a meet n greet and it went fantastic! We had him scheduled for a week in June to do daily walks but since it went so well, we wanted to start sooner! He just had his first official walk and it went so great. He’s a great communicator and is very prompt! Lucky to have Josh helping with our pups!”
“Yana has walked our dog Shasta many times and always takes great care of her. This weekend we asked if she would be able to help us out by feeding her dinner and breakfast at her walks and she happily helped us out. Would definitely recommend Yana!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, energetic dogs—and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I help walk and spend time with dogs waiting for their forever homes. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I also love sending updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work in the clinic four days a week, but I’m available on Thursdays and weekends. During those times, I’m able to dedicate my attention to walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so caring for pets fits perfectly into my schedule and allows me to give them the attention, exercise, and care they need I live in an apartment, so I make sure pets get outside regularly for walks, bathroom breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m dedicated to keeping pets active, engaged, and comfortable while they’re in my care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions.
About: I’ve been a dog sitter for more than five years for other dogs and I have been a dog owner for 10 years! I’m patient and caring! I’ll be free to walk dogs all summer since I’m a teacher and have this summer off! Be happy to take care of your pet! I have a fenced yard. I have a clean home that’s welcoming to all! I am organized, patient, and kind. I care a lot about dogs!
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Jessica is amazing! She has a special way with dogs, and our Knight took to her immediately!! You can tell she truly loves and cares about animals!!! From the treats and ball she brought on her first meet to the pictures of her visit she posted on Rover! Amazing! Will definitely use Jessica again!❤️”
“Bethany was awesome me and my husband were going to be away on A trip our Dog Booker was staying home with our parents but they weren’t going to be able to give him the required exercise he needed so we figured we would give a dog walker a go! Bethany should up everyday to our house on time and Booker was always excited to see her! Each walk came with a picture and report which was great! Would definitely use Bethany again!”
About: Naturally gifted at taking care of others, let it be your pup! ♡ I'm very patient, kind, and responsible. That's the bare minimum! Never sell yourself or your dog short. I've grown up with dogs, my family has never NOT had a dog. Dogs will tell you in their own way what they need, and I listen! Extremely responsible, you can depend on me to be on time with your doggy schedule and needs. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, check-ins! Communicative, just lemme know! I come with a flexible schedule as Im working part-time right now :) Most weekdays I am free for your needs! Weekends mostly late afternoons or nights. Please message me beforehand. I always have my phone charged and on my person, if you wanted updates on your pets or have questions regarding their care. If you have special instructions for how you like your animal to be treated, I'll always adhere to your preferences. Transparency is major for me, you'll always be the first to be consulted if necessary.

“I couldn’t be happier with our dog walker Mara. Communication was always clear, punctuality was excellent, and most importantly, my dog Gino was treated with care and affection. It’s obvious how experienced and attentive Mara is and it makes such a difference. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
About: I have been around pets my entire life. I bring a kind and calming energy to pet care. I know how to read a dog/cats body language. This helps me develop a positive trusting relationship with your pet. I currently have a senior kitty cat who is 16 years old and have had pets in the past that needed daily medication. I work from home with minimal meetings. This gives me flexibility for pet care and checking in, even if it’s on short notice. I also can work from other locations if longer pet care is required. I will follow whatever your instructions are to a T. If there is something I need clarification on, I will always communicate with you first.
About: Reliable, available and caring. Mother of special needs adult. Own a 6 year old Golden Retriever. Lots of love to give your special family member. I have a very open schedule day or night, except on Monday night. I Would be happy to discuss any special needs owner might have. Trust me to follow all instructions when caring for your pet in your home. I Will respect your space. Free cuddles given all the time
“Shannon has been our dog walker since January of 2020. She is very professional, and is excellent with our high-energy 70lb Chocolate Lab puppy. Highly recommended.”
About: I grew up with five dogs from small to large. And now I love the crap out of dogs. I'm known as the dog whisperer at the dog parks. Definitely will have lots of cuddles, chases around the house, and lots of dogs to play and socialize with. At home, the dogs will have the run of the home. And my dog will leave them alone. I generally have other dogs that get along well. I have a small fenced yard so they have free access to potty in the backyard as I leave the door open. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Generally I'll take the dogs on at least one 1.5mile jog per day. And then whatever rough housing they get into around the house Animals have free roam of the house. I have a fenced yard although it's small there is a doggy door so they can get in and out.
About: I've had cats and dogs growing up my whole life. I was the primary caregiver, trainer and best friend. I also took care of many of the neighbors cats and dogs while they were away. And their farm animals as well. Also have experience from the Army training tracking and guard dogs. I am a retired latter carrier and a disabled Army Veteran. I have all the time in the world to devote to caring for your pets when needed. Particularly with dogs during the day. Walking is great for your dog and gets me the exercise that I need. It's a win-win. And it's a plus that I get the hang around with dogs. , i currently do not have dogs or cats of my own. I do live in an apartment but I'm close to many parks and trails. I'm available for a client's home sitting as well and will always abide by the wishes of the client for their pets.
“Corey has been a lifesaver for my pug, Poppy, and me! She walks her 4 days a week and brings her son, Luke, with her which I love because Poppy's rarely around kids (plus, I know that between Corey and Luke, Poppy is getting a good dose of exercise during their visits). I am so grateful that they take such good care of my girl (and she captures great photos of her!). Thank you, Corey (and Luke)!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for a couple hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and Sunday early afternoons I have church but other than that I’m available. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

““We’re so grateful to Emma for taking such wonderful care of Puff. Before the stay, she even scheduled a meet-and-greet to make sure Puff was comfortable and to go over everything he might need—food schedule, rules, medications, and emergency contacts. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with thoughtful messages and great photos of Puff looking happy and relaxed on walks. Communication was excellent—Emma was responsive, flexible with scheduling, and very accommodating at both drop-off and pick-up. Puff came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Emma created a warm, family environment that made Puff feel right at home. She truly went the extra mile to make sure we both felt secure and confident, and I know Puff is already looking forward to his next visit!”
