“Hanlan was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time needing a sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. My two babies had such a fun time. Hanlan was extremely flexible, and was great at communicating. Definitely will be using her again when the next time comes.”
“Kristopher and his family did a wonderful job oc caring for Mochi. They are experienced and took time to learn about her specific needs prior to care. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing someone to take care of their fur baby and would use them again should the need arise. 5/5!”
“Nadine took SUCH good care of my pups! They loved their time with her. The backyard is amazing… so much room to roam. And her pets got along so well with mine. Lots of communication and photos. It was so nice to know my babies were being loved on so much while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Nadine!!!!”
“Kris was great with my two pups! He provided updates during the stay and was comfortable with my dog’s medication at mealtime. I was glad there was a fenced in yard in addition to walks and dog parks in the neighborhood for exercise and socializing.”
“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.”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”
“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.”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic watching my dog Jax! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, it's always so hard to leave our fur babies but I knew he was in good hands with her! Will be using her again for future trips!”
“Jean was fantastic! Our dog had the best time and we’re so thankful he had such a wonderful place to stay with ample room to play. She constantly communicated how he was doing with pictures included. He had a great time!”
“Amanda was great with my dog! She took care of her well and was very communicative. She has a great backyard for running around too, with is always a bonus. I would definitely take my dog back to her!”
“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.”
“Paul and Arnel treated our little old man like a king, and sent the photos to back it up. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing the pup was WELL taken care of. Five stars, highly recommend. Thank you guys!!”
“Amie and her husband were great with Radar and he had a blast playing with the other dogs. Came home tuckered out, just like I hoped for after a long day at work. Would definitely recommend her for doggie daycare!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our senior pup, Daisy, received! From the very beginning, Julie was communicative, professional, and is clearly a dog lover. We got regular updates and photos that made us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear Daisy was relaxed and spoiled during her stay. We came home to a happy, calm pup & we would 100% rebook again. Thank you Julie :)”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“This was a last minute scheduling and I can not say enough about my experience with Jamie. My dog jack had a wonderful time and I was very pleased with how he was treated. I received updates Dailey with photos which all pet owners appreciate. If you are looking for someone to take great care of your pet, consider Jamie. Truly and fantastic job and will use his services again!”
“Noemi & her family took awesome care of our dog, Pippa, while we took our quick trip to Seattle! The updates & pictures let us know she was in good hands & we now have peace of mind going when we go out of town again. Thank you, Noemi!”

“Roxanne did a great job with drop in feeding & litter box scooping for my kitties while I was out of town. She was very dependable & also went above and beyond in sweeping up my entry way for me when the apartment management did some power washing.”
“Once again Cheryl was great! She dropped in to feed our elderly cat while we were away, gave excellent service and left us a jar of homemade blackberry jam! We will definitely be booking her again! :)”
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.
“Tiana was amazing and really went above and beyond in every way, especially since we were out of town during the ice storm. Cannot recommend her enough, and we definitely will be working with her again.”
“Tori went above and beyond! We had a snow storm that she adjusted for, and I was able to communicate with her really well! I recommend her to anyone in the area that wants quality,consistent and comfortable peace of mind for their fur kids!”
“Emily is outstanding! She really gets my cats and has earned their trust and mine as well. It is such a relief to know that my boys are in excellent hands when I am away. She's a treasure! Two tails up and cheek rubs from my boys!”
“Ronda is awesome! This is the second time she's taken care of our Kits and they love her. She sends pics with her messages. She's trustworthy, dependable, and just an all around great sitter. 🤗”
“After meeting up with Michelle, we booked with her. We felt comfortable & confident with her and her ability to take care of our old kitty with health issues. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Gray Kitty just prior to our booking date. ? This changed our booking now to House drop ins. Michelle did a great job with getting mail, packages etc. and checking n he house. I would highly recommend Michelle and I also will rebook with her in the future.”
“Carolyn is very attentive to my pet and has done a great job with drop ins, especially since my pet was 2 days list op from being neutered and not feeling his best self. I appreciate how caring she is and attentive to his needs.”
About: I’ve had experience with cats for most of my life and have owned 6 of my own! 🐱❤️ I currently have both a dog and cat in my home, and I’m experienced with kittens (1-2), senior cats, and deaf kitties. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I’m comfortable caring for shy, nervous, and friendly cats alike. My first experience pet sitting was caring for my neighbor’s cats when I was 12, and I’ve loved working with animals ever since. Whether your cat enjoys cuddling on the couch or playing with toys, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel connected to your pet at all times!
“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Abby is a marvelous pet sitter! Harley was in good hands and it showed when I came home to a happy cat. She kept my place tidy and updated me with plenty of pictures to preserve my sanity. Would highly recommend!”
About: With over two decades of animal care experience, my journey began as a child caring for our family's English Springer Spaniels and cats, where I discovered my natural affinity for animals. This early passion made me the go-to caretaker for classroom pets throughout my school years. As an adult, I've owned several dogs, including a beloved Boxer who shared 10 wonderful years with me, and currently care for two rescue dogs - a Labrador Mix and a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Through my extensive volunteer work at a local dog shelter since 2021, I manage the daily care and cleaning for up to 25 dogs, many with complex medical needs or behavioral challenges. My professional pet sitting experience spans over three years with private clients, and I've developed expertise in handling medium to large breeds with high energy and prey drive. I'm equally comfortable caring for shy and timid smaller breeds, reactive dogs, and senior pets requiring medication. My feline experience includes managing a Maine Coon cattery of 10-20 cats, and I've cared for cats in all life stages, from newborn kittens to pregnant mothers. Beyond cats and dogs, my animal care expertise extends to reptiles, aquarium maintenance, and farm animals including chickens, goats, and horses. I've also managed large populations of show rabbits, sometimes exceeding 100 animals. I'm comfortable administering medications to all species and have extensive experience managing special needs pets. My clients receive focused, individual attention as I do not combine pet sitting assignments. I currently work full-time Monday - Friday (7 am-3 pm). I also volunteer on Sundays (7 am-11 am). I’m open to weekday availability as long as the pet owner is aware of my work and volunteer schedule. As your dedicated pet sitter, I believe in providing comprehensive care that goes beyond the basics. During my visits, your pets will receive personalized attention through engaging playtime, appropriate exercise, and mental enrichment activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I follow your detailed feeding instructions carefully and maintain clean food and water dishes throughout my stay. Understanding your pet's dietary needs is essential - I'll note their treat allowance and any food or environmental allergies to ensure their safety and well-being. Getting to know your pet's unique personality, quirks, and daily routines is a priority for me. I take time to understand their comfort levels, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where your pets feel secure and content in your absence. Housekeeping is equally important - I take pride in maintaining a clean environment and will ensure your home is in pristine condition upon your return. As part of my service, I'm happy to handle additional tasks such as watering indoor and outdoor plants, collecting mail, and managing trash bins. Your peace of mind is my top priority, both for your pets and your home.
“Janell visited our senior cat, Kevin, twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. She was on time, paid attention to his special needs, documented everything with pictures and was interactive, but also respected his desire for privacy. We appreciate her clean up and tender care of our near end of life cat.”
“Adeline took excellent care of our 2 elder kitties while we were out of the country. We are very grateful and will definitely work with her again next time we travel.”

“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”
“Annie has been with Sarah for 4 days this week. Annie turned 1 & Sarah & her family gave Annie a Bday party. It was so special and I really appreciated it. Thank you Sarah!!😘😘😘😘”

“This was our first time using Rover. We had an event and we connected with Melodie because of her location nearby. Melodie was very quick to respond and suggested a meet and greet prior to the day of the sitting.our little dog met her sweetie and seemed to get along right off the bat. Melody prefers small dogs, which is great for us. She has a nice set up and is very caring and we will use her again!”
“Amazing couple, beautiful spacious home. They did great with my puppy who was dealing with a lot of separation anxiety. I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing she was getting lots of attention from Julie and Barry. Can't wait for her to get more socialized with Julie and Barry!”
About: Everyone needs an aunt nearby to check on their dog or care for their dog when you're away. I will spoil your pup with love and attention like I do with my German Shorthair Pointer! I work from home and have the flexibility to take your pup for a walk or stop by for a quick belly rub and potty break. And, of course, a little playtime! I love all breeds and sizes and respect each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can bring my friendly dog, Oscar, along for some play and socializing or come solo to give all my attention to yours! My goal is to help you worry less about your dog while your away from home to give your dog what they need. I work full time from home. My 1/3 acre lot is wonderful for active dogs like our GSP Oscar. Pups who prefer to lounge and snuggle have a spot in my office on the bed next to my desk. Oscar loves dogs of all sizes and so do I! Whether you need daycare or someone to love your pup while you’re away overnight, my lifestyle and home is ideal! I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced yard with lots of room to run! I allow the dogs on the couch and the bed in my office. Oscar is fully vaccinated and takes monthly Simparica. I regularly pick up poop in the yard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. I am skilled at walking two big dogs at the same time and often do during my lunch break.
“Mackenzie was great! She was flexible and took great care of the pups while we floated the river! She was able to give each dog their own space and we appreciate that.”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Emma is wonderful and her doggy camp is the best. Our pups are always well taken care of and have a blast running around their big yard - this is especially wonderful for our high energy Boston terrier pups. They normally fall asleep on the ride home and we are so thankful!”
“Ceydi likes visiting Amie; this was her second visit and she seemed to recognize the house by scent from the car. She was happy to be handed over and that put my mind at ease, since she's a delicate princess and I worry about her.”
“Maggie is the first sitter I used on Rover and I am definitely going to utilize her services again. She cares for each pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loved Maggie's spacious backyard.”
“Alex and his family have been amazing! Their property is the perfect place for dogs to play! It's easy to see how much they love dogs with how they take care for all their needs. Alex is very accommodating, communication is fantastic and I get to watch my little girl play via Instagram and the many videos that are posted there. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Bisghetti loves Allen's daycare. We moved to CA and we are so sad he had his final daycare stay with Allen. It was a great experience and our little gremlin always had the best time. Would definitely recommend!”
“We are so happy we found, Regina! She took excellent care of our little guy, Enzo, who cannot be left alone. We also had some complicated logistics of handoffs between dog sitters, and Regina was a pro; communicative, prompt, detail oriented. What a savior. Thank you, Regina!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 16. Cats since I was 20. I have also owned various other animals, including livestock. My schooling helped me learn general animal care and I have had the same dog trainer for 20 years. Our pets have regular vet care. I pet sit for friends and family often, both at their homes and in our own home. Just informational, I do live with males, including teens, who have attended dog training classes and help when I need to step out if the house. I also have a very large yard for lots of running and exercise. I work fill time, but remote. I can choose to be from home or in office so am available to watch pets at home all day, when needed. We have a large fully fenced yard. We do have chickens, but they are gated in their own area. I have a pet gate to keep dogs from going downstairs unattended and a door as backup. I provide a pet water fountain for constant fresh and flowing hydration. Pets get regular treats and training refreshers to keep their minds sharp and engaged. My house is inundated with both cat and dog toys for constant entertainment.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover having a furry friend by my side ever since I was in middle school through high school. During that time, I have learned a lot about specific responsibilities to ensure our pets are well taken care of and receives the continuous love and support they need. Having become a corgi mom myself recently, I continue to gain valuable experience as it becomes ever so rewarding to meet our beloved pets unique needs and personality. They are just as valuable as us human beings. You can ensure your pet's health and support is met and maintained if you decide to choose me to take care of your loved one. I’m available for daycare and short stays. I mostly stay at home with my dog, so I can provide full-day care and attention to your dog. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play freely, providing them with plenty of space to get exercise and explore in a safe environment. The yard is securely fenced, so I can let dogs enjoy some outdoor time without worrying about them running off. Additionally, I'm always happy to take dogs out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. I make sure to stick to their regular schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free
“Tiana was great! She worked with her partner to make sure they got good times for our dogs... Communicated with both my mom and I fire each of our dogs and we're overall amazing! Will def go with them on our next trip!!!”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have hands-on experience caring for pets all of kinds. I have a dog and two cats of my own, volunteer at the local shelter, and have fostered many kittens over the years. Working from home allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pets. Whether it's walking, bathing, feeding, training, or administering medication, separation anxiety. Your furry friends will be in loving hands with me! I offer FREE meet and greets to see if I would be a good fit for you and your pet(s)! **I don't have any recent reviews as I took a break from Rover to finish school out of town. I would love to get back into pet sitting as I have more free time now! I work remotely so I can be with your pets at all times of the day. If I am house sitting for you, occasionally I will leave for 1-2 hrs to go to the gym or getting something to eat. If your pet has separation anxiety, please let me know and I will stay with them the whole day. My family has always been pet oriented. I grew up with cats and dogs and know how to approach your pet safely if they are feeling shy. I've been walking dogs for 7+ years so you can be rest assured I will always come well equipped with supplies such as poop bags, leash connector (if you have multiple pups) water and a bowl.
“We had always boarded our dogs in a kennel before so this was our first time leaving them in the house for a quick weekend trip with drop in visits and walks. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs. Tori did a great job taking care of our cat and now we’ll use her as our go-to sitter for our dogs.”
“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”
“Kena was great with our difficult pit bull, she followed instructions well and problem solved when our dog would not listen well. When she left he was a tired mess and slept through the night!”
“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”
About: Rescued two outside cats before and have formed bonds with usually shy dogs/cats. Don’t have much experience with training animals, but will make sure they have enough exercise when needed! I work Monday, Wednesday-Friday from 6am-4pm, so while mornings are very limited, the afternoon/evening walks are all open. I would be more than happy to adding your furry family member to the friends list and be able to take them outside! Making sure the water is filled and they are fed on time when I’m there. If it’s too hot out, outside time would be limited to potty time, but would be happy to make sure they have time to play inside when I’m there!

I administer medication and I am very comfortable with cats, you can ensure their litter box is clean and food/water bowls are full. I provide daily communication and pictures to my clients and a summary at the end of my session.

However, I am available 24/7 during your absence for any reason or request. I I am very energetic and have a soft tone of voice which is very soothing and relaxing for animals.

Along with this I will keep your home clean, collect mail/packages, water plants and make sure that your home and pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve had my fair share of petsitting and dog walking and I enjoyed it a lot. I also have had pets that I have cared for. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently unemployed and not going to school. I am open most days and times as well as some weekends. I have had many pets and have loved and cared for them. Currently I have a dog that I care for. I hope to take care of your pets as well.
About: We love all animals and appreciate their intelligence and respect their feelings. We have had dogs and/or cats always. We have also had goats, pot bellied pigs, chickens, miniature donkeys and fish. We love spending time with animals and attending to their needs. Walks at parks and in nature or around the neighborhood are a regular part of our day. We are retired and spend a lot of our time traveling in Southern California and Mexico. We provide a safe calm environment in your home and keep your pets' normal routines. We will be bringing our dog with us and she is well adjusted to changing environments and meeting new animal friends. Housesitting is part of our travel strategy and we have received many positive reviews over the past few years. I also have done some dog training and animals are comfortable around us. We are retired and take several walks a day. Our schedule is very flexible. We like to be able to take your dogs in the car for walking adventures if they are comfortable with that. We give your pets lots of snuggles. We aim to follow and maintain the normal, expected routines of the pets we care for. We give them lots of attention and send pics to their owners.
“We got a new rescue who was struggling with trust and wouldn’t come out of her crate. Aislynn was very understanding and tried very hard to make her comfortable. She went above and beyond and really cares.”
“Brittney is the best! She’s super reliable and prompt. She’s very observant of the dog’s behavior and likes and dislikes. She has excellent communication and so she’s really easy to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our family and our dog.”
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

“Kristopher and his family did a wonderful job oc caring for Mochi. They are experienced and took time to learn about her specific needs prior to care. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing someone to take care of their fur baby and would use them again should the need arise. 5/5!”
“Kris was great with my two pups! He provided updates during the stay and was comfortable with my dog’s medication at mealtime. I was glad there was a fenced in yard in addition to walks and dog parks in the neighborhood for exercise and socializing.”
“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.”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”
“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.”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic watching my dog Jax! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, it's always so hard to leave our fur babies but I knew he was in good hands with her! Will be using her again for future trips!”
“Jean was fantastic! Our dog had the best time and we’re so thankful he had such a wonderful place to stay with ample room to play. She constantly communicated how he was doing with pictures included. He had a great time!”
“Amanda was great with my dog! She took care of her well and was very communicative. She has a great backyard for running around too, with is always a bonus. I would definitely take my dog back to her!”
“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.”
“Amie and her husband were great with Radar and he had a blast playing with the other dogs. Came home tuckered out, just like I hoped for after a long day at work. Would definitely recommend her for doggie daycare!”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“Lucky had a wonderful time with Araceli. She took great care of him and was extremely flexible with the dates. Lucky enjoyed the huge backyard especially because he is high energy and loved that he had Archie to play with. Great communicator and I highly recommend.”
“Sarah was absolutely incredible in caring for foster while we were gone. Pics and updates were frequent, ensuring he was doing well, with detailed notes. He received plenty of activity time and Sarah embraced him as her own, which he loves as always around a lot of people. The care package with “report card” and treats was a magic touch, which my kids enjoyed sharing with Foster when he came home. Will definitely use Sarah’s services again in the future! Her love of animals is unmatched & a joy to see!”
“So sweet and great with our pups! They got so much exercise during their stay and came back very happy dogs. Cass was excellent, knowledgeable, flexible, and obviously gave our dogs the love they needed while we were away. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“This was Lily's first visit with Kristen and it went very well. Kristen was very attentive to Lily. We were kept up to date on Lily's activities and felt that if there was a problem Kristen would know what to do. We'll visit again.”
“Cassie took excellent care of our puppy, and did a great job of keeping us updated on his activities. She sent great pictures and videos and clearly puts a lot of time and energy into caring for her dog guests. He clearly had a great weekend away!”
