“Kristen and Kasey are amazing dog sitters. They provided frequent updates and photos and even sent our dog home with a hand painted portrait of him ? we really feel like we hit the jackpot finding them!!”
“Cali just loves Gary and Carol. Her visits are always great. If you need any dog care I highly recommend them. I never have to worry when she is in there care.”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“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!”
“My dog had a great time with Emily and her dog Bowie! Emily provided lots of updates and pictures. He got lots of walks and was able to enjoy her fenced in yard. Olive and Bowie were 2 peas in a pod by the end 🩷. I definitely recommend booking with Emily, especially if you have a nervous dog that needs some extra love. Thank you for making Olives first night away so enjoyable for everyone! Kaitlin”
“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.”
“I am so happy with Cassandra and Trevor. The thought of leaving my pups with someone I don't know was horrifying but they made the process seamless. From a meet and greet to sending pictures daily, I felt confident my girls were in a loving home being taken care of well.”
“Frida was great, I got updates on my dog and some pictures and videos. He got along good with her dog and I’m happy they were able to have each other for company. I will definitely book again!”
“Allison goes above and beyond with Blu! She tailored her care to his needs and I can tell he really enjoyed staying with her such as refusing to sleep in his own bed 😆”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“Louise was wonderful with our two pups! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. The puppies made themselves right at home and looked happy throughout their stay. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.”
“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”
“Christine was awesome in caring for our two elderly dogs at her home!! From the moment we connected by phone, I sensed her warm, caring spirit toward animals. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away. I offer Christine the highest level of recommendation and we definitely plan on utilizing her again in the future.”
“Anastasia is awesome!! We were nervous to leave our puppy overnight for the first time, but we knew she was in great hands. Anastasia was super easy to communicate with, and gave us lots of updates. Even when our puppy decided to refuse to use her crate while there, Anastasia just went with it and was able to accommodate. We were so excited to pick our puppy up but she honestly seems sad she had to leave, which I know means she had a blast. We are so appreciative of our puppy having a loving second home while we are away.”
“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!”
“Oh my goodness, I'm pretty sure Hazel had an even better vacation than I did! From the start she was comfortable and snuggly with Paul and Arnel. Their home is warm, relaxed, and attracts good "dog vibes," if that's a thing. I so appreciated the wonderful communication, too-- frequent pictures and sweet observations came my way. As a first time Rover user, I had lots of questions about logistics, communication, etc., and Paul was incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you, Paul and Arnel, for being the best imaginable home away from home for sweet Hazel!”

“Michelle did such a great job dropping in on our senior cat! She went above and beyond cleaning up extra messes and staying longer to cuddle and pet her! She sent numerous pictures and videos reassuring us that our cat was okay and giving her lots of love. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Anna was amazing. Just from the photos she regularly sent us (we can never have too many photos!) our cats looked very happy and absolutely comfortable with her. She gave us great updates after each visit. We will absolutely ask her to watch our cats again!!”
“Makenzie was so great with my cat Juno! She was very punctual with her drop in visits and made sure to follow all the instructions. She also sent lots of pictures while I was away :)”
“J was great, very communicative and sent photos and updates of our two cat babies every day. They left the house spotless, and the cats were chill and happy when we returned. Thank you again, and would recommend :)”
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
“Emily takes such wonderful care of my boys (cats). Even super-shy flame-tipped Siamese came out from under the cover because she respected his boundaries. Thanks Emily.”
About: While my primary experience is with dogs and animal rescue, I’ve been caring for cats for more than five years through pet sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, medications, and caring for cats with different personalities and needs. My background fostering rescue animals has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel safe in unfamiliar situations. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers a quiet check-in and a clean litter box, I’ll provide reliable care tailored to their comfort level. I also offer plant care and vacation watering services, making me a great fit for households with both pets and plants.
“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.”
“As always Ash has been amazing with our not so social baby! She’s patient and kind and when our cat decided to play Houdini Ash contacted us right away which was super appreciated ! She’s absolutely our go to to ensure our fur baby is well taken care of.”
About: I grew up with animals always around, dogs, cats, and birds, but am not ready to have one of my own again at this time. I work from home so will be available to your pets at all times. I have a big fenced back yard to play in. I limit stays to 1 household at a time to ensure everyone is familiar and comfortable with eachother. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and experienced in administering any medicines needed. I do live with a partner, while he is an animal lover too, I will be the sole sitter for your pets during their stay. I really look forward to meeting your fur babies! I work from home so I’ll be available at all hours of the day. My workday usually starts at 7am but that is highly flexible. My house is small but I have a large fenced in backyard and am usually okay just keeping the door open for pets to go in and out as they like during down time. I prefer for your pets to stay with me but if you need me to come to your place that can be arranged. I will respect your home and your home’s safety however you deem. I’m here to help you and your pets feel as comfortable as possible while you are away
About: Growing up I had pets but my family has had up to 7 animals at a time some with arthritis some needing special care so I'd be more than happy to accommodate any of your pets needs. I have some vet tech training, which includes being trained to look for Animals behaviour to make sure everything's okay with them, dealing with all types of pets, and proper care. I do have a job Monday through Friday 6am to 230pm. I currently work Monday through Friday 6 to 230. Outside of that I can and will make your animal or house my priority. I do not have an animal at this time so I will not have any conflicts with trying to balance your animal with my own. I understand each person has unique rules and expectations for their animals and house. I will do my best to respect any guy lands, and we have full disclosure of anything. I do not think I will be capable of handling.
“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”
“Lori was very attentive with our two cats. She made sure each was accounted for and their needs met. We received much appreciated daily updates with pictures and videos. We would trust Lori again with the care and special needs of our cats.”

“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!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
“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.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and using a dogsitter outside of family and friends. It was a wonderful experience! Lousie is a very warm and friendly person. She kept me updated on my two fur babies throughout the day and sent me photos. I recommend her!”
“Anastasia allowed me to relax with my husband for a day without needing to meet all of Remy's needs. This was our first stay with Anastasia, but she offered a Meet and Greet initially that put my mind at ease with regard to her family of pets, the conditions of her yard, and her willingness to answer my questions and needs. She did a great job safeguarding Remy during his day's stay, she sent me photos and an update on how he was settling in, which I greatly appreciated. I'll definitely re-book Anastasia for Remy's pet-sitting needs in the future.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life — from horses to fish, and most importantly, dogs. For the past 2+ years I’ve been a foster with the Portland Dachshund Rescue, caring for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with medical needs. Through local dachshund meetups and rescue work, I’ve become known as a trusted safe space for small dogs in the Portland community. What sets me apart is the blend of heart and hands-on skills: • Experience with senior dogs, medical care, and even injections when needed. • Specialized understanding of dachshunds and other small breeds. • A home set up with secure fencing and stairs for tiny dogs’ safety. • The flexibility of working from home most days, with the option to bring pups to the office on others. I treat every guest like my own — with patience, love, and individualized care. Most days I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go into the office, but I can often bring a guest dog with me if needed, so they won’t be left alone. Because I only host up to two small dogs at a time (20 lbs and under), I can keep routines flexible — from regular potty breaks and short walks to cuddle breaks on the couch. My schedule is designed to give your pup a safe, consistent rhythm while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying at my townhome or I’m caring for them in yours, safety is always the top priority. My home is rescue-approved with secure fencing, pet stairs, and even an outdoor ramp in progress for tiny legs. Guests are always supervised, indoors and out. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys, and I’m happy to follow any security routines or send photos so you feel comfortable. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you, and a safe, happy experience for your pet.

“Ms. Gema has been nothing but amazing. My puppy was well taken care of make sure she was healthy well fed and received lots of exercise and she was flexible and able to accommodate and excited. Stay at the last minute. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family that need boarding with their puppy or adult dog”
“Emma and Kenzie are the sweetest and take such good care of my fur baby! He is a highly anxious, energetic Aussie and can have difficulty meeting new people. However, after a few minutes Sage felt right at home and now doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. They send you pictures and updates at the end of the day and are very flexible. Highly recommend! Bonus, your dog will come home clean!! :)”
“Colton is an awesome dog sitter! He is attentive and communicative. My dog had a great time with him and his dog Jasper. I would definitely recommend him! Thanks for your dedication Colton!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jared is exceptional. Jared took wonderful care of my two dogs, Sebastian and Francesca, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we connected, his communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. He was attentive to their needs, patient, and genuinely kind, exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your fur babies. Sebastian and Francesca were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I picked them up, which speaks volumes. It’s obvious Jared takes his role seriously and treats animals with real respect and care, not just as a job but as a responsibility. I would absolutely trust him again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, top-tier pet care. Thank you, Jared🌹you truly went above and beyond.”
“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them again!!”
“Adnan really came thru for us. He was quick to respond to our last minute request for daycare on a Saturday. As soon as I met Adnan I felt comfortable leaving our girl in his care. We got some great picture updates and couldn’t be happier.”
About: Pets have always been a large part of my life. I have grown up with pets of all kinds; dogs, cats, chickens, horses, cows, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc. I will always treat your pup just like my own; giving them all the unconditionally love, attention, and care they need & deserve. I work 2x days per week and spend most of my time at home with my pup, Bentley. I also watch my daughter’s dog often. I can take dogs for potty breaks frequently throughout the day, go on walks, and take them on car rides. I have a big fenced yard with one loving 9 year old lab. He loves to play fetch and tug a war and your pup can join or can play separately, whatever is needed. Also, have a pool if your pup enjoys swimming they are more than welcome to get in! I watch at all times, your dog would never be left alone in the pool or backyard. My pup loves swimming and would love to swim with other dogs. I live close to a park and can take your pup to run (off-leash if allowed) or walk! Bentley is friendly with other dogs, as well as my daughter’s dog who I often watch and take care. There will also be plenty of cuddles, loves and treats!
“Charlene has been hands-down, the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. The amount of love, care, fun, and exercise she gave our dog, Ginkgo, was truly exceptional. I’m someone who loves pictures and updates, and Charlene provided beautiful pictures and updates without prompting during Ginkgo’s 4 day stay. He got to go on runs, long hikes, and even got a pup cup with her daughter. He came home each day absolutely exhausted, which was amazing for my husband after working long days. We are so grateful we found Charlene!”
“Wow what a great dog sitter! She took ths time to explain how she introduces a new dog to the mix. She sent a ton of photos and gave me details throughout the day. My little pup had a blast! Thanks so much!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Penny was absolutely wonderful with my 8-year-old golden retriever, Stella! From the very beginning she was quick to respond, clear in her communication, and completely reliable. She provided timely updates along with lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Stella was in great hands. Penny gave Stella excellent care, and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely use Penny again and again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Makenzie was great! She cared for my shy dog and he warmed up to her! Trusted her entering my apartment and keeping the keys! Would rebook in the future!”
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!
“So sweet to ghost and super understanding of his puppy energy! Kept me updated throughout the whole experience and really made ghost’s day! Such a huge help!”
“My puppy was very appreciative of the good exercise and walk today. Thank you again and she was definitely exhausted by the time I got off work thank you again for your exceptional work.”

“Cali just loves Gary and Carol. Her visits are always great. If you need any dog care I highly recommend them. I never have to worry when she is in there care.”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“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!”
“My dog had a great time with Emily and her dog Bowie! Emily provided lots of updates and pictures. He got lots of walks and was able to enjoy her fenced in yard. Olive and Bowie were 2 peas in a pod by the end 🩷. I definitely recommend booking with Emily, especially if you have a nervous dog that needs some extra love. Thank you for making Olives first night away so enjoyable for everyone! Kaitlin”
“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.”
“I am so happy with Cassandra and Trevor. The thought of leaving my pups with someone I don't know was horrifying but they made the process seamless. From a meet and greet to sending pictures daily, I felt confident my girls were in a loving home being taken care of well.”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“Louise was wonderful with our two pups! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. The puppies made themselves right at home and looked happy throughout their stay. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.”
“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”
“Christine was awesome in caring for our two elderly dogs at her home!! From the moment we connected by phone, I sensed her warm, caring spirit toward animals. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away. I offer Christine the highest level of recommendation and we definitely plan on utilizing her again in the future.”
“Anastasia is awesome!! We were nervous to leave our puppy overnight for the first time, but we knew she was in great hands. Anastasia was super easy to communicate with, and gave us lots of updates. Even when our puppy decided to refuse to use her crate while there, Anastasia just went with it and was able to accommodate. We were so excited to pick our puppy up but she honestly seems sad she had to leave, which I know means she had a blast. We are so appreciative of our puppy having a loving second home while we are away.”
“absolutely amazing and careful with my very anxious german shepherd. my dog struggles with no people and environments due to some issues in her past and i’ve never been able to find a place where she feels safe but she has been able to stay with shasta happily. i appreciate her and her family so so much for all they do!! highly recommend!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our goofy Rusty boy. He came home clearly having had the best time including plenty of exercise in the backyard and playtime with properly matched pups. Carer was communicative, understanding, and helpful. Will book again!”
“Leah & Chris were absolutely amazing, i was in communication with them the whole time and felt at peace leaving my dogs with them. Thank you guys so much 🐾🐾”
“Kyle treated our pups so well! I could tell they were comfortable with him right away. He sends updates about 1x a day, so not as frequent as I’m used to, but that is just a preference. Would recommend!”
