“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”

“Sandy took such great care of our mini schnauzer, Hugo! She made us feel immediately at ease when giving us a tour of her place, which is a perfect set-up for small dogs! Love that she only watches small dogs and that everything is secure (fence with dual gate system and keeping the dogs at home at all times). I so appreciated her updates and photos as well! We will definitely be reaching out to Sandy for all future needs for Hugo!”

“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”


“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”

“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”

“Brittany was wonderful! Our dog was so well taken care of! Great communication throughout his stay with her. Lots Of picture updates. She was so welcoming and friendly. 100% would book with her again! Thank you Brittany!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kathy! She was wonderful, communicative, and very good to my senior boy. She sent updates with cute pictures and videos everyday. She even went above and beyond doing shorter more frequent walks for my pup and going the extra mile to make sure he ate (he’s the PICKIEST). My pup loved her and we will definitely be rebooking for future trips!”

“Milo took such good care of butters! Very communicative and sent daily photos. Butters looked like she had a blast with momo too! Will be booking care with Milo again!”

“It’s clear that Amy and her family love dogs! She provided us with updates and was really flexible when we had a last minute schedule came. Sammy came home happy and ready for a long nap. Also, her own pups are absolutely adorable!!! I highly recommend Amy and family!”

“Jean was a loving caretaker of our pup while we were out of town! He got plenty of snuggles and attention. Loved that Jean sent us lots of picture updates!!”

“Peter is the BEST!! We've left our little one with him several times and she comes back happy and tired. Since he only takes one dog at a time we don't have to worry about her being overwhelmed. She gets lots of love and is spoiled by how many walks she gets. Thank you Uncle Peter!”

“Malory has cared for our dog more times than we can count. From one night to two weeks, she always takes great care of Willow with multiple walks a day, lots of picture updates, and very easy to communicate with. This last time our flight was severely delayed and we couldn’t pick up at the scheduled time, but Malory was able to keep her overnight. Highly recommend!”

“Christopher was so great with Malachi. They went on adventures daily and he took incredible action shots. I felt much less stressed about leaving him after seeing how much fun he was having, and as expected I think he was a bit disappointed when I picked him up! Highly, highly recommend!”

“Carmen did a great job! My very shy cat liked her from the first meet and greet. Carmen communicated well, sent pics and was very conscientious. I would call her again!”

“Kamrie was amazing. Super reliable and made me feel so at peace leaving my cat with her. She sent photos everyday and loved on my boy so well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Evita! As first-time Rover users who had only ever left our cats with family before, we were understandably a little nervous, but she was incredibly patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. She was communicative, flexible, and very thorough, making sure we always knew how things were going at home. We especially appreciated that she continued sending updates and photos even when our cats were hiding. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats' well being and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. We came home to happy cats and felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“I had a really great experience with Zoe! I felt both Lionel and Richie were extremely well taken care of with an extra level of attention and care that was really helpful. She is very thoughtful and considerate, and her updates were always thorough and consistent, which gave me real peace of mind while being away. Especially with my older one who needs a bit more support and attention. Zoe was incredibly mindful, patient, and careful with him. Highly recommend! Absolutely going to book again”


“I felt very comfortable leaving Kylo with Maya for the week, she is very communicative and has experience with Siberian cats. The daily photos and check in were great. Highly recommend!”

“Jordan was amazing for being available at the last minute and took care of all three of our cats! Two of them require medicine which included post dental surgery for one of them. She was able to handle all of these extra details exceptionally well and I felt confident with her taking extra special care of my recovering boy. I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jordan!!”


“Joe literally went above and beyond! Both my cats loved him, and he was very thorough and sent great updates and pictures! He also left my place so clean! I definitely recommend him, and I’ll definitely hire him again, especially since my fur babies love him already! Thank you so much Joe! You made this trip so much easier for us while we were away from our cats!”


“Our cat has had a lot of change recently with moving and being in a new house and has gone back in her shell a bit. But after a day with Briana, she was back in action! Cuddling and playing like they’d known each other a long time. I would absolutely recommend her! A true cat whisperer. Sends lovely updates and captures great pics!”

“Thorough, conscientious, and caring--Angela took the time to get to know my cats' schedules and particular needs, kept me updated on each visit, responded quickly to my messages, and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I felt reassured and secure that the cats and house were in good hands! Thank you so much for taking care of my cat family over the holiday.”

“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”

“Catherine was great with our pup! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to hang out with our puppy while we attended a soccer game in Portland. Great communication, provided pictures while she was watching our pup, and did great with our high energy dog! Would highly recommend and would use again if we are in Portland again!”

“Maggie was gentle and patient with my shy chihuahua mix. Correspondence was prompt. They sent me a picture during the day and my dog actually looked relaxed, which then lead to me feeling relaxed. 5 stars!”

“We tried the drop in service today and it gave me such piece of mind knowing Dash was entertained rather than sitting at home alone. Tommy was quick to respond and very accommodating. Dash came home happy and sleepy. A++”


“Damon has been a life saver for my daycare needs. He is reliable, personable, and communicative. I work full time and have an active GSD who needs adequate mental stimulation and play. By the time I pick her up, she’s ready to eat and relax for the rest of the evening. He has a spacious and clean backyard for the dogs to roam/play around in without it feeling too crowded. I always get pics and updates thru out the day to make me feel reassured she’s safe and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Damon and his services.”

“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”

“Remy loves Natalie and her boyfriend so much! I’m so glad I found people I can trust to care for him while I’m gone and I’ll continue to rely on them for as long as they’ll let me 💛💛”

“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”


“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was able to take our young dog on short notice which made things so much easier for us. Tali came back happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. Would absolutely book again!”

“Keaton was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for an entire day, making sure he had plenty of potty breaks (every hour) and multiple 30 minute walks to get out his energy. He was fantastic with Eggington and made sure he felt safe and comfortable (Eggington took to him immediately!). Greatly appreciate Keaton's care towards dogs and flexibility to work with our schedules!”

“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”

“Liliana was awesome and came through for us when we needed her help urgently. My puppy loves staying with her and clearly enjoyed being there with her pup. So happy to have found her. Highly recommend!”

“Parker had such a good time hanging out with Kimo. Kimo has such a chill space and lives close to a great park which was perfect for my senior pup. Kimo was very attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Barbara took great care of our dog! She took him for multiple walks and sent pictures. Kai was a happy boy when we picked him up and very relaxed. Great communication! Thank you! Cathy”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges, thanks to my own now-reformed former troublemaker, Lycan, my 11-year-old Boxer. Working with him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding, and those are qualities I bring to every dog I care for. Dogs love punctuality. My dog needs three walks a day, and he is my alarm, waking me up for his walk before work with a not-so-gentle cry. My schedule often shifts to adapt to his needs, either by canceling a hike because he's not feeling it or postponing a walk because it's raining. I'm dedicated to any pets in my care. I live in an appartement. With my wife and my dog. We have a pretty spacious patio but a not so spacious appartement. So my dog gets his excercice in the nearby park and on bis weekly hikes. Our living space is safe and organized to facilitate the care for any visiting pet
“Oriana was very responsive during the booking process. I really appreciated her communication. She was punctual with the drop off and pick up. She took great care of my two dogs. I loved the updates and photos she took on their walk. I would highly recommend her!”


About: Hi there! My name is Janae, and I live in SE Portland. I have years of experience taking care of my pets, pets for others, and even fostering! I've taken care of all breed sizes, from small to large, and everything in between! I love and will be happy to take care of any breed. I understand each pet is different and has different needs. I understand how to treat every pet like the unique, lovable family member that they are! I've even worked with pets that have special needs, and know how to give gentle love and support. I love all animals, and will take care of your pet as if it were my own! I'd love to watch your dog and any other pet(s) you might also have!

“Maya is so good with my senior dog Opie! She is a great communicator and has been able to provide me with a lot of flexibility surrounding my work schedule. I am able to depend on and trust her!”

About: Hi! I’m Olivia! I am new to Rover, but have grown up helping my family care for both dogs and cats! I have experience volunteering at my hometowns humane society! I currently have a kitten of my own, but I adore both dogs and cats! I would love to get to know your animals and what the best care for them looks like! I offer both dog walking and drop ins for dogs and cats. Please reach out with any questions! I have flexible scheduling through the summer! During the school year I am in a masters program, but have scheduling around my classes! I want to be available during the best times for your families needs! I always want to make sure that everyone is safe and comfortable! I will be sure to always care for your pets and space with respect and to ensure that your pets are getting the care they need
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. 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). I have three 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 be flexible with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I respect my client’s rules, preferences, and boundaries regarding their pets. I will avoid places they’re not supposed to go, keep them on leash at all times, socially distance them if requested, and never give them treats or food unless given owner permission.
“Milo is amazing! He was willing to come meet my anxious border collie before walking her, and did a phenomenal job communicating throughout the process. I would 100% recommend Milo & will definitely have him back to walk Cali soon!”

“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”

“Laura was efficient and great to work with! I like how quick she is to communicate and respond to messages, flexible with her schedule, and she did a wonderful job caring for my little guy. I will book her again in the future!”

“Carlie has been really awesome with dog walking for my pup, Gus, during the work day. Gus is reactive towards other 4-legged creatures, and Carlie has been doing a great job with giving him quality walks while managing their encounters with others. Carlie has also been consistent time-wise and reliable so far.”

“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Jamie has been so lovely to work with. She’s very patient and experienced when working with my very sweet but anxious Chihuahua/IG mix girl. She’s also consistent, reliable and professional. Thanks, Jamie! You rock.”


About: Animals of all kinds have a special place in my heart, whether it's a dog or a cat :) I used to dog-sit for my mom's coworkers when I was in high school, and I've handled solo care for my family's highly active Border Collie/German Shepherd mix for anywhere from a few days to full months at a time. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy long walks & active time outdoors, which makes me a solid match for high-energy breeds that need real exercise and structure (also love to just chill and hang out with animals if that's more your pet's speed). Sadly don't have a pet of my own yet, so I would love to give your pet my time and attention while you're away! Hi there! I'm a 25 year-old grad student currently completing a master's program at UO's Portland campus. I'm currently on summer break, so I have ample time to spend with your pet and can be flexible if needed. Come October, I will be unavailable on Wednesday & Thursdays, but I can still provide the same time and flexibility. While I can't currently care for your pet(s) in my own apartment, I am happy to offer walking & sitting services at your home to keep your animal(s) in an environment they are comfortable with. Just let me know what your pet's routine is, and I will do my best to keep it consistent :)

“Jess is great! Very kind and gentle toward our dog who can be slow to warm up to people. You can tell she meets the pet where they are. Happy to have found a dependable dog walker!”

“Mark was fantastic with Oso and was good at being firm but gentle. Oso seemed happy and pleasantly tired! Definitely would have Mark walk him again and would recommend Mark!”

“Liliana is lovely and definitely has a connection with dogs. My little dog Nina doesn’t trust people at all and she immediately liked Liliana. I was tied up when she came to walk Nina and Nina barked and then went out with her without any fuss and without me being there! Liliana is professional, friendly and punctual. HIGHLY recommend!! NOTE: I would hire her weekly but my sister offered to help me - it’s not because Liliana isn’t the best!”

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

“Lyle showed up in the pouring rain! Very punctual, great communication, professional and reliable. My 2 year old cattle dog is tired after their walks and that’s not an easy task. THANK YOU!!!”

“Gabriela was an amazing dog sitter!! She gave me updates throughout the day every day and even gave me poop updates!! my dog had so much fun and she is an overall very sweet person who loves dogs. She made sure my dog was safe and happy. He doesn't like other dogs on leash and she made sure to keep him away and took him to the park multiple times if not everyday.

“Maggie was so great! This was my first time leaving my dog with a rover sitter, and Maggie made the process go so smoothly! I was super nervous (my dog has an anxious streak and can struggle in new enviroments), but she warmed up to Maggie and their sweet pup Ellie very quickly. I was sent great updates and could tell my dog was happy and relaxed. Would highly reccomend and will definitely book again!”
