“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”
“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“Liz and her family were fantastic with our Goldendoodle! Communication was great and we felt at ease our dog was in excellent care. We appreciated the attentive touches like an impromptu food pickup (due to miscalculation on our end during his 2 week stay), early morning walks on 85 degree days and some tasty treats. Highly recommend booking!”
“Hanlan went above and beyond what I expecting! We left our pug with her for 5 days and she was always sending cute pictures from his day. She took him on long walks, and the dog park multiple days. We really felt Bubz was left in amazing care, and would choose her again next time we go out of town!”
“Susie was fantastic with my Charming! I felt she genuinely cared about my dog. I can tell my Charming was loved while I was away! Thank you so much for the daily updates and making him feel at home! I will definitely book again!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our girl with anyone so we were very nervous on how it would go! Nancy was so reassuring that Paisley would do well. She sent us pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing. Paisley came home one happy girl! We are so thankful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her!! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Alyssa! I give her 11/10 stars. She was so absolutely wonderful with my pup, kind and responsive and caring. This is the best Rover experience I've had thus far by miles. I will definitely be rebooking in the future 💜🐶”
“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”
“Sue was amazing. I have a very spoiled, high energy pup that never slows down. She's always up to something. Sue sent updates and pictures several times a day. Cocoa was very happy when we got home.”
“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.”
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“Shari is the absolute best! Roscoe had never stayed with anybody except for us and she made him feel so loved and relaxed. We are so thankful for the care she provided our pup and for the updates and pictures. I was so nervous to leave him but she reassured us that he would have a wonderful stay and she was right. Her disposition is so sweet and calming. Highly recommend!”
“Gary and Carol were both outstanding in watching Baker for the night. We visited our son in Portland from Eastern Washington for one day to see our son and we relied on ratings to choose them. Everything people said was correct. Very responsive with communications before during and after the boarding. They sent pictures and let us know Baker was doing fine during the stay which relieved some of our anxiety not knowing anyone in the area. Bottom line, Baker had a great time with their dog Brady. We highly recommend Gary & Carol for any of your boarding needs. We will definitely contact them for our next trip to the Portland area.”

“I’ve worked with Sarah for a while now, she does drop ins to care for my three kitties. She’s been a lifesaver: reliable, thorough, detail oriented and my kitties love her! So grateful to have found her!”
About: I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family.
About: I've had cats my whole life and have taken care of my own two cats for about 3 years now. I've done drop in care and pet siting. I enjoy spending time with cats and animals in general and can provide a safe and comfortable environment for your cats while you are away.
“Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!”
“Highly recommend Kat! She took care of our two cats expertly for 6 days. One of our cats takes an inhaler for asthma as well as oral medication, and Kat was able to provide that without any issues which is so important to us. She spent quality time with them and kept us informed of anything that came up throughout our trip. She is very trustworthy and has a very nice and caring personality. Thanks, Kat!”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently have a 3-year-old cat named Chopper, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Living with cats has taught me that every cat has their own personality. Some love attention and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing in a quiet space. I'm happy to adapt to your cat's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll provide fresh food and water, keep litter boxes clean, spend quality time playing or cuddling (if your cat wants it!), and always make sure they're safe and happy. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in great hands. I treat every cat like they're my own, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours.
“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”

“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”
“Bobbi is fantastic! She’s great with our 3 dogs. One of them can be cantankerous and she was able to win him over no problem. We love the peace of mind we have knowing that she’ll drop in and let our pups play when we have long work days.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
“Our boy can be pretty anxious but Angela and her babies Henry and Dingus were so good to our pup. We were in town on vacation and just needed a day to run some errands so we’re so thankful she was able to make space in her house so last minute. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be a repeat customer if we’re back in town!”
“Blaze Amik always enjoys his time with their family! There are always plenty of photos where he is playing and living his best life. I appreciate the love they show all the dogs, it really makes it reassuring knowing that they care about our fur babies!”
“Blessed finally someone I can trust Eileen and Rich found me on Rover. They were looking for a sitter for there pup as their beloved long time sitter had moved. Rich came to my place with piglet for meet and greet with my 3 smalls . He shared with me how much anxiety he was having trying to find the exact right fit for piglet. I have 3 dogs. Doyle is my fear dog (He has come ALONG ways in 5 short years. He immediately ran up to Rich and put his feet on his legs so he could pet him. They watched the pack for me one day and it was the first time I had ever left Doyle with anyone and even tho I was a little nervous that Doyle would try to escape to come find me I knew they would be watching him like a hawk. Just a short time later I received a photo from Eileen comfy on the couch with all the dogs (even Doyle!) Laying on her and snuggling. But honestly, I already knew on my heart that they would care and lovey dogs almost as much me by the number of dog sitters they interviewed and even coming back for a second meet and greet just to make sure everything was going to work out. I will also add that piglet is very well behaved has excellent social skills , and over all just a well balanced dog. Says a lot about her parents! I know once you see how well cared and loved your pet is there you will not to leave them with anyone else! I'm so grateful our paths crossed and I can now feel comfortable leaving my littles when momma needs some me time! Thank you Rich and Eileen!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require.

“Nicole and Colton are great hosts. They became my go to day care after my first booking with them. They have plenty of friends and space to keep Bernie entertained all day. He comes home ready to sleep every time after a day full of fun!”

We had a full day of events and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Laura for pet care and would definitely contact her for future appointments. Jennifer & Matt”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Ava is an amazing host! This was Dexter's second time with her, although a much shorter stay, Dexter came back home wiped out from all of the playing. I feel very comfortable whenever Dexter's over there playing because I know he's getting love and attention! Highly recommended.”
“Susie has been a wonderful caretaker for our dog during the day. Her experience was evident upon arriving for the first session and we couldn’t be happier to have found her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 4 years. I’d love to spoil your pup! I have an extra crate if needed and plenty of toys from my dogs they can use.

About: Your dog will receive lots of puppy love & attention! I've been dog-sitting for over 9 years and love it! My husband & I live in a very lovely neighborhood in West Linn (Barrington Heights) and have a large, fenced back yard for your dog to enjoy. We have a very friendly Mini-Aussie named Nova and 3 dog friendly cats. Both my husband and I are now retired and we enjoy providing your pet with lots of attention, affection & love! If your pet needs any special attention or meds please let me know and I am happy to accommodate! Your pet will receive lots of personal attention, without a doubt! Please consider us for your pet care needs! PLEASE NOTE: Due to insurance reasons: I am not able to accept dogs that are un-neutered, aggressive, or of a specific breed such as : Pitbull, Staffordshire Terrier, German Shephard, Belgian Malinoise, Rottweiler, Doberman, Akita, Chow, Dalmatian, Bull Mastiff, Malamute, Catahoula Cur, etc. I grew up with many of these breeds so please know that it pains me not to be able to accept them! My main objective is always to maintain a safe and harmonious time for all of my pets, my other clients pets and yours as well!

About: I’ve been rescuing animals for over 22 years-I’ve cared for big, slobbery Rottweilers to tiny, judgmental cats, fish who pretend not to notice me, and guinea pigs that somehow eat like linebackers. I’ve handled rabbits with attitude, a special needs Yorkie who runs the house, and our Texas rescue Lucy—who I’m pretty sure thinks she rescued me. I have a designated bedroom with a ring camera just for my furry friends! We can keep the pets isolated in their own space the entire time, or they can have free roaming of the house. Options for those pets who need less sensory and more quiet and privacy. I work full-time at a hospital Monday through Friday, so my availability for more hands-on, all-day care is best on weekends. During the week, I’m still happy to offer overnight stays, I just like to mention that-because on weekdays, there may be up to an eight-hour stretch without potty breaks while I’m at work. I live in a fantastic walking neighborhood and can happily meet you in yours or bring them to mine. Can never get too much exercise in! Plus, my big fully fenced in yard is at their disposal.

I also spent most of my childhood helping my grandfather run his farm/looking after his animals. I currently have a part time job so I will have more than enough time to take care of your furry friends! I have my own car so getting to wherever you need is never a problem. Anything your animal needs I will assure they get it. Anything you want them to do will get done. Exercise, playtime, food, and love. The four essentials that your pets will have covered!
About: I work at a pet hospital that specializes in the care of cats and dogs, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 2 and a half years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Alyssa did a fantastic job with my needy puppy! I highly recommend her and I would absolutely book her again. She sent photos and messages to update me and even called once when my puppy wasn’t feeling well.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I can remember I love and care about all animals and would treat yours like my own! I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I'm just looking for extra money to make so I can go out and do more things with my kids! I can definitely help leash train if that's something you would need or train in any other way I've trained every animal I've had so it's pretty easy for me!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! For years, friends and family have turned to me whenever they need experienced, reliable care for their pets. Between my personal life with pets, my animal shelter experience, and caring for my own animals, I know how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your fur babies. Whether your pet needs dedicated care, daily meds, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m excited to treat them like my own! I work from home Monday through Friday, so I'm around all day. When I'm home, I'm usually hanging out on the couch with my own pets. Being home full-time makes it super easy for me to stay on top of feedings, stick to routines, and keep your pets company throughout the day. I treat every home I visit with the exact same level of care and respect as my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, so I always keep things clean, secure, and running smoothly. You can count on me to follow your instructions to the letter and leave your house just as neat as you left it.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My whole family is big on dogs and I am prepared for any situation…Healthy dogs to dogs with medical care needed. We have had dogs from as small as tea cup Yorkies to big English Mastiffs. Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I am home from college and looking for a summer job. My schedule is flexible and can be available week days and weekends. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am comfortable taking your dog for a walk and letting them play in parks. As well as playing in the yard and giving them lots of time to run around. Making sure they are fed, hydrated and rested all the time is also very important.
“Bobbi is totally a dog person. She’s really good at reading their behaviors and working with them. My Zoey dog loves her. Bobbi went above and beyond taking care of my dog while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Bobbi for you dog person.”
About: Hello! My name is Courtney, and my partner’s name is George. We are both big animal lovers and come from homes where pets are part of the family. We would love to come spend some time with your pets! I have worked in childcare for many years and now as a nanny for the same family the past 5 years, so I am very patient and understanding and will be with your furry friends as well. We are responsible people and promise to keep our commitments we make to you and your animals! We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your furry friends! My current work schedule will keep me away from the house for 6-8 hours during the week; but it is possible my partner would be there while I’m not. Our number one priority is too keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy while we are spending time with them. We will treat them as if they were our own!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, from pet-sitting friends dogs and cats, to helping out at the shelter, though my pride and joy is my shelter pup Maggie, who I had the pleasure of training, and had been my buddy for 13 years. She was the absolute best, and I miss her so so much. Since Maggie passed, I now have the pleasure of raising and training yet another shelter pup, who is a great dog with lots of spunk. Her name is Luma, she’ll be 3 in April 2025, and she’s great with kids, dogs, and cats! I go to church on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings, and I’m currently an online student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any further questions feel free to enquirer to see if I’m available or if we can work something out! I look forward to hearing from you :) Currently, I am available for pet and house sitting, as well as walking and drop-ins. When house and pet sitting I will follow the rules you set for your home, as well as treating your pets as my own, which means spoiling them with lots of snuggles and top notch care!

“Liz and her family were fantastic with our Goldendoodle! Communication was great and we felt at ease our dog was in excellent care. We appreciated the attentive touches like an impromptu food pickup (due to miscalculation on our end during his 2 week stay), early morning walks on 85 degree days and some tasty treats. Highly recommend booking!”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”
“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”
“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.”
“Gary and Carol were both outstanding in watching Baker for the night. We visited our son in Portland from Eastern Washington for one day to see our son and we relied on ratings to choose them. Everything people said was correct. Very responsive with communications before during and after the boarding. They sent pictures and let us know Baker was doing fine during the stay which relieved some of our anxiety not knowing anyone in the area. Bottom line, Baker had a great time with their dog Brady. We highly recommend Gary & Carol for any of your boarding needs. We will definitely contact them for our next trip to the Portland area.”
“Linda and Bobby were FANTASTIC! They kept me in the loop with what my pup was doing and feeling. This really felt like a home away from home for him. A part of me thinks he wished he could stay! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“Katie and her husband did a fantastic job caring for our Luna in their beautiful home when we were away for 10 days. She sent daily pictures and updates and our dog came home happy and tired from all the playing and adventures she had. They are very reliable and took care of our pup as if she was their own. We had complete peace of mind as we knew Luna was in good hands. Thank you both for taking such great care of her and hope to see you soon again!”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Kayla and her family took such great care of our pup. He loved playing with her dogs, and in all the pictures she sent us he looked happy, healthy, and exhausted 😅. He was with her for about 12 days, and we could tell she cared for him like we do. We would highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“Amanda and her family were fantastic. We were confident to leave our dog and was able to enjoy our trip fully without worrying about our furry member of family. She sent me photos and updates daily. Thanks again!”
“Blu had a great time staying with Anastasia! She’s really sweet and it’s clear her home is just full of love. He made himself at home right away and was very cuddly with her. It was apparent through her updates, photos/videos that he was well taken care of. She even gave me a super cute polaroid she took of Blu during his stay and I love it so much! Will definitely be booking with her again”
“Bo had a great time! He came back happy and tired from playing with all of his new friends. And we got photos of all the fun he was having so we didn't worry at all.”
“Brian and Jennifer were truly amazing with our dog. We had never used a site like this and were apprehensive about it but found ourselves in a pinch. We really lucked out finding this family. They were excellent with communication and I felt comfortable the whole time we were gone. They took such great care of our furry fella. We will definitely reach out to them again when we head out of town.”
“Goose seems like he had more fun than even being at home! Best experience I have had in Portland with a sitter, I did not have to worry or think about a think while I was out of town! I could not recommend her enough, 10/10 sitter and goose was very loved!”
“Summer camp 2, this is the second time to use their service. Lambo was extremely happy when I drop him off, extremely tired (it’s important) when I pic him up, he loves Hannah’s place! See you soon!”
