“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“This was Chloe's first time away for a long trip and we couldn't be happier that we booked her stay with Gary and Carol! We appreciated the ease of drop-off and pick-up and the quick response time while we were away. Gary was so kind and flexible with my booking mistake on the pick-up day, which we greatly appreciated!! Chloe was nervous at drop-off but seemed to settle in quickly and have a great time. I appreciated the photos of Chloe while we were gone. Thank you and we will be happy to book again in the future!”
“Kristopher did an amazing job with both our dogs, he asked a lot of good questions before hand and took his time with our shy boy. He provided pictures and updates to reasure us! We will for sure book with him again.”
“Araceli provided exceptional care for my two dogs. They were attentive to every detail of their routines, making sure both felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved while I was away. It was clear they truly care about animals, going above and beyond to ensure my dogs were happy and relaxed. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Araceli to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“Kristopher was very helpful and accommodating in setting up boarding for my dog just a few days before I needed to leave town. He put my mind at ease with leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. I got updates and photos of my boy each day and I’m pretty sure Kristopher could make a living doing pet photography! Should I need pet sitting again, I will certainly seek out Kristopher again.”
“We absolutely will use Jared again. Our dog is 13 and takes meds 3 times a day. This is the first time we have left him with someone that wasn’t family or a close friend, but Jared did great. We lived all the pictures and could tell Ollie was living his best life!”

“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”

“Aaron did an absolutely fantastic job of taking care of our two senior cats! He was kind, prompt, attentive, and responsive. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an issue, but Aaron went above and beyond in attending to our cat’s needs as well as cleaning up after our cat. We highly recommend Aaron for taking care of your pets!”
About: I've taken care of cats of all kinds since I was young, I've had cats myself and always shown love to my outdoor stray cats, there's never been a cat I don't fall absolutely in love with and pamper!
“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”
“Lilieana went above and beyond taking care of my girl while I was away. I haven’t been away this long from my cat before, but Lilieana made sure she gave Plum all the love and care she would’ve gotten as if it were me! She was very attentive and let me know if she noticed anything or had any questions. Would absolutely recommend. ⭐️”

“Micah was an excellent catsitter for our three cats! We were worried about leaving them alone while going on a trip, so we gave Micah a long list of routine and care instructions which he took with understanding and respect for their wellness. One cat needed insulin shots and another needed ear drops. Micah took care of them, played with them, and even sent pictures and updates to help alleviate our worries. We'll definitely want to hire Micah again for our next trip.”

I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care.

I follow your instructions closely, keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pets stick to their routine so they feel safe and secure.
“Hello, Thanks again for taking care of our four-legged family! They were not only alive, but seemed way less stressed than on previous trips to the vet for overnight stays. If you're available, we will certainly look to book you again. Aside- The door was locked, but we didn't see the top lock key on the keychain.

About: I was Blessed with a Tortoiseshell cat for 15 years named Penelope Rose. Pets truly help us through the hardest times of our lives and we help them in return. They do find us, for sure. She was developed cat asthma (rare) and medication was not helping her so I put her down and that was my last pet years ago. I grew up having a grey Siamese cat. Both cats followed me everywhere. Every cat I meet has a unique personality that I love getting to know each and every one. Cats make me feel very calm & relaxed and I feel I have that same effect on them as well. I like the idea of sometime developing a cat toy line because I used to make so many homemade, safe ones when I was growing up. I understand Dogs & Cats and they seem to get me too. I used to foster a 3-legged handi-capable cat and an amazing 1-eyed cat (who is older than 20 years and is now blind). She keeps on going that sweet girl! Shes got a great will to live. I’m familiar with wound-care and post-vet care. I’m in tune with cats and understand calming techniques to make their environment pleasant & comfortable.
“Beth was an absolutely perfect. She took care of my Bengal Cat and sent multiple videos and photos of her playing and feeding my kitty. She keeps an open form of communication with the owner...which really puts your mind at ease. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Aimee is amazing with my kitty Luna! This is the third time I have used Aimee for kitty sitting and she does not disappoint. She cares for your pet as if it's her own with love and affection. Also, I love all the photos from each visit! ❤️ Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Chloe! Im new to this app, but not new to sitting! I grew up in cow-town Wisconsin and went to film school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have so many passions in different directions and post college, decided to explore those different paths. I have worked in a variety of environments, and positions since the age of 14. I used to be a nanny and loved that experience! Over the past year, I converted a van to live out of, and now I am looking for the next place to start my new chapter. I’m also interested in getting involved with short term rental hosting and interior design/staging. House sitting and pet sitting would give me the freedom to explore new locations and meet new buddies! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, game nights, exploring consciousness and if there's an instrument around, I will absolutely pick it up and teach myself. Overall, I like meeting new people and building connections! I’m currently working part time and remotely, so I will have plenty of flexibility to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little fur-baby happy! I enjoy exploration, and taking advantage of the outdoors.

“Our experience with Rebecca was excellent, and our pups experience, too! We were so happy to have updates and pictures throughout the day as it was our first time leaving him and we were a bit nervous. He was so well cared for while we were gone, came home happy and tired, and even got sent the rest of his chew stick home! We will definitely be back without hesitation.”
“Melba stayed here while we went to a show at the Edgefield Amphitheater. Gary and Carol had no problem with our late pick up, and they sent updates and pictures. Everything was easy and smooth. We wouldn't hesitate to have Gary and Carol dogsit again if we come back to this area!”
“Ashley was very responsive. She agreed to a pre-meet which made us much more comfortable leaving our dog. She was accommodating of our schedule and communicated well during our dog’s stay.”

“Sherri and Jeff are wonderful sitters! Great communication and they send lots of updates and pictures. My dog can be anxious and they are so sweet and patient with him. He gets lots of walks, playtime and outings. He now knows their house and runs to the door when we get there which makes me happy. Will definitely use them again!”
“I could not ask for a better home away from home for Trixie than Danielle's!!! She is my absolute trusted go-to, and Trixie's second family. I really appreciate that she is flexible when possible about drop off and pick ups, and is so good with updates. 10/10 for her genuine care, her giant yard, and being just so reliable and awesome.”

“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
“María is the sweetest soul! she did such a wonderful job caring for my puppy Bones. he came back wagging his tail & ready to go to bed! she got all his energy out! Bones struggles with very very bad separation anxiety, & maría reassured me from the start that he was in good hands & would not be left alone. which has been a struggle in the past with previous sitters. Bones can also have some behaviors like jumping on people or the counter tops, & she did amazing setting that boundary with him not allowing him to hustle her & get away with being a menace! María kept me updated and sent me pictures quite often which i really appreciated! She made Bones & I feel comfortable & confident with our decision to go with her. she is so lovely & i would recommend her to anyone who may be worried leaving there pup w someone they don’t know! María is great!”

About: I got my first dog sitting job when I was 5, it was my neighbors dog and I've loved doing it since. I have since home sat, many dogs of all different breeds, ages, and size.

“Tessa was on time and walked Diego for the full 30 minutes and sometimes a bit longer. He's can be a super slow walker so we appreciate her patience. Thank you Tessa for helping us with Diego's walks!”
About: I grew up with animals my whole life. Ive been called the animal whisperer by all my friends. The guy the antisocial cat chooses to sit in the lap of at the party, the person the my partners dog leaves them for, the guy who tames the horse that wont let anyone bridal. I have had at least 2 pet companions most of my childhood and into my current adult life. Both cats and dogs from kitten to elderly. Sometimes living in houses where my pets cohabitated with others pets, I become the one to feed/walk/train because I love interacting with them and their personalities. I take pride in knowing that I read signaling and body language well and can intuit needs and practice patience. I currently live with 2 cats and a dog which I do the majority of the pet care for. Cleaning up, feeding, and training the dog (shes still young - 2). So I wake up early and feed everyone. Take the dog to the park for an hour to play fetch. Rinse and repeat in the evening. I also have been pet sitting for friends over the past few months which has led me to wanting to work with more furry companions. In others homes I would always make sure to get background on pattern/rituals that exists for the clients pets and try to keep those up. Structure is important to animals and if they expect to get fed/walked/groomed at a specific time I totally respect that. Got a fav ball you want me to throw? Can do. A favorite tree on a walk that needs to be visited at least once a day? Show me where...
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, the first dog I got was when I was 5 and I would walk her and play with her and teach her tricks. We currently have 3 dogs at my dads with a cat and 2 dogs at my moms house. I love spending time with animals and having fun with them I am currently in college playing softball and am home for the summer so I am free and looking to spend some time with animals and make some extra money! I can provide whatever care a client wants/do what they normally do for their animals and follow whatever a schedule an owner has setup for their animal.
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

About: I have had dogs my entire life! I love to play with them and walk them. If I was allowed I’d have at least two right now! I am an active person so there is not need to worry about your pets being stuck inside. I love to hike and go for runs. In my college town I would dog walk neighborhood dogs and take them running up hiking trails. I’m a clean person and make sure to leave no messes behind. I’ll even take care of any mess that your pet has left in the time you are gone. I work a full-time job from home so now worries about scheduling. I’m pretty open unless it’s a day where I’m out at clients. I hope you consider me!

“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“This was Chloe's first time away for a long trip and we couldn't be happier that we booked her stay with Gary and Carol! We appreciated the ease of drop-off and pick-up and the quick response time while we were away. Gary was so kind and flexible with my booking mistake on the pick-up day, which we greatly appreciated!! Chloe was nervous at drop-off but seemed to settle in quickly and have a great time. I appreciated the photos of Chloe while we were gone. Thank you and we will be happy to book again in the future!”
“Kristopher did an amazing job with both our dogs, he asked a lot of good questions before hand and took his time with our shy boy. He provided pictures and updates to reasure us! We will for sure book with him again.”
“Araceli provided exceptional care for my two dogs. They were attentive to every detail of their routines, making sure both felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved while I was away. It was clear they truly care about animals, going above and beyond to ensure my dogs were happy and relaxed. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Araceli to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“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!”
“Kristopher was very helpful and accommodating in setting up boarding for my dog just a few days before I needed to leave town. He put my mind at ease with leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. I got updates and photos of my boy each day and I’m pretty sure Kristopher could make a living doing pet photography! Should I need pet sitting again, I will certainly seek out Kristopher again.”
“Amanda and Josh were so wonderful with our dog, and their dog Rosie is such a great playmate! I received lots of updates. Amanda was in tune to my dog’s personality and activity needs, taking plenty of walks, and giving all the snuggles and support while we were away.”
“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”
“Melissa was super helpful by taking care of my manu last minute while I was visiting for a wedding! She showed me the area and there was lots of space and friends for manu to play with! I would highly recommend Melissa, she’s been great with giving me instructions and is very communicative!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Dave did an excellent job with our Blue Heeler. He has a nice big yard for dogs to roam and play, and was a great communicator throughout the whole experience. We would definitely have our buddy stay with Dave again.”
“Amazing stay! Flexible with our pick up and drop off, great communication, and our pup fell in love. When we came to pick our dog up, he went and plopped on the couch because he didn’t want to leave. Hope to rebook in the future!”
“I was so happy to get updates and photos every day! It made me feel like she was in good hands, and I liked the reminder she was doing well. It sounds like my cat had a great time and was entertained during her stay. Thank you!”
“We cannot recommend Kristen highly enough for her exceptional care of our pupper, Ragnar, during his overnight stay! From the moment we reached out to her, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kristen clearly has a genuine love for dogs, and it showed in the way she interacted with Ragnar. She took the time to ensuring that he felt comfortable and at home. We loved receiving updates, complete with cute photos of Ragnar happily playing and snuggling. It put our minds at ease knowing he was having a great time! When we returned, Ragnar was not only well taken care of but everything was ready for our pick up. We are so grateful to have found someone as wonderful as Kristen to watch over our baby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future dog-sitting needs! Thank you, Kristen, for taking such great care of Ragnar!”
