“Sandy did an amazing job of taking care of Cody. we will use her services any tme we take a vacation or are away. Toby had a great time, and it's really nice to be able to live your dog with someone that takes as good of care as we do. it means a lot. ”
“Paul and Arnell were the sweetest with my Bandit. Sent lots of pictures and are very responsive at communicating. Nice meet n greet and easy drop off/pickup. Bandit was definitely spoiled with these two!”
“Amber and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobby! He was obviously very comfortable and received a lot of love and attention while there. The photo and video updates gave us a lot of confidence to relax, knowing he was in great hands and having his own vacation!”
“Rosemary was incredible with my little dog - with high separation anxiety (Her “super power” is: crying!). She was very patient and understanding, taking the time to gain trust/build a bond with her. I was so grateful for the regular (and detailed) updates/chats - plus the many photos! Knowing my dog was in such caring hands is invaluable. Rosemary was also flexible with scheduling, and communication was great! She is a gem! Definitely would rebook and refer her!”
“As always, Holly is the best. Communication is great, lots of status updates, etc. We always feel good when our pup is in her hands - invaluable!!”
“Amy and her family (of humans and dogs) are amazing. They are so kind and considerate. And, their communication was prompt and clear. They also sent a bunch of photos while we were gone- so great to see Oprah's little face. I can tell that Oprah was a happy and loved dog while with them, and next time she needs a sitter she'll be staying with Amy again.”
“Mossy was very cared for during her stay with Christine and Steven. She got frequent walks and even a bath! We would definitely have Mossy stay with Christine and Steven again.”
“Rebecca is a gem! She kept my 6 yr old 35 lb dog at her sunny apartment for 2 nights. They went to the farmers market, on lots of walks, and hung out with her grandkids. She sent lots of pictures and I enjoyed chatting with her when I picked up my dog.”
“Maisie had a great time with Josh. He was responsive with communication before our first visit and I was comfortable seeing he has had so many repeat customers. I will certainly go back to him when we need any overnight stays.”

“Kristen did a wonderful job watching our dog. I love that she sends daily updates and pictures. We always feel comfortable having Kristen watch our pup. Thanks Kristen!”
“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!”
“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”
“We're always happy with Breann's care and communication. Our dog, Ellie, is always happy to arrive, and we love all the pictures during her stay!”
“Lisa was kind and capable and asked all the right questions. Her house was tidy and ready for a wandering pup. She saw that my dog was feeling antsy at the start of his visit and took him for a walk to help him calm down a bit. She was easy to schedule with and got back to me quickly in general. I will definitely be booking additional stays with her!”
“In all my years of owning a dog, I have never EVER found a sitter as good as Keelan and Sabrina. It is evident how deeply they love animals, how much they care about providing a safe home for my little guy, and how much joy they get out of doing what they do. As an anxious mom, I can finally rest easy on trips knowing how happy my dog is to be there, how much fun he’s having, and how well taken care of he is. Keelan and Sabrina are thoughtful, highly communicative (so many great pictures/videos), and have welcomed my little guy right into their family. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart to have found them, and cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“noemi was so great with my dog while i was away! she really understood how to take care of a senior dog, was flexible about letting him go out, sent many pictures of him while i was away; and he seemed very calm and content when i went to go pick him up after my trip. i highly recommend her!”

“Tayla was amazing! She left detailed notes after each visit with tons of pictures. She was flexible, communicative, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. My cat can be timid around strangers at times but went up to Tayla immediately. I’d be happy to book her again :)”
“Courtney was amazing! She left detailed notes each visit and stayed extra time to ensure our elderly cat ate all of her food. She went above and beyond cleaning up our cats throw up multiple times and we are so appreciative! The photos she left were so sweet and made us feel like we were there with our babies! I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone! Thank you so much!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are very pleased! Brenna was amazing & did a great job taking care of our cat. She communicated well, and made sure we felt comfortable in this new experience. We will definitely use Rover & Brenna again! Thank you!”
“Jen was PHENOMENAL! We have a grumpy cat and she was dedicated to making sure he was well taken care of. She was prompt, communicated well, and a joy to work with. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Devin has been great with my cat Piper. Piper can be finicky and not the easiest to take care of. Thanks for the communication with updates and being available for questions and concerns. I appreciate it.”
“Anna housesat and stayed with our two sweet but rather needy cats while we were gone for a week. She did an amazing job!! Anna was super conscientious about caring for both our house and our cats, asked lots of thoughtful questions, and sent lots of updates and photos. Highly recommend Anna, we would hire her again anytime!”
“Raven was a great choice for our cat sitting needs! She is friendly and kind, prompt with messaging and sent photos while we were away – exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter.”
“Maddy was very professional, and provided excellent care to our two kitties while we were away. Maddy also was respectful of our home and followed our care-instructions. We highly recommend using Maddy's services, and we will definitely rebook the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Lori is a phenomenal sitter! She developed a great relationship with our cat over the days we were away, took plenty of great photos, and I can highly recommend booking with her!”
“Adrienne was so sweet and responsive! I really appreciated the updates with pictures and cute commentary as she checked in on my kitty! It makes all the difference knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I will absolutely be booking Adrienne in the future!”
“Laura did an amazing job with our two cats. She sent several pictures daily and ensured that they were well taken care of. She did a great job of comforting our scaredy-cat and getting him to come out to see her every visit. I would highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a responsible, communicative pet sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Such a great experience! Jourdan took amazing care of my complicated, anxious little kitty. Dermal and oral medications every single day were administered kindly and efficiently and Jourdan went above and beyond helping me to monitor for signs of my cat’s illness returning. So glad I could count on Jourdan when I couldn’t be there for my cat myself! 💖💛💖”
“Shayne has been amazing! She was very flexible when we had to extend our trip, and she has taken very good care of our two kitties while we’ve been away. She’s very reliable and it’s obvious that she really cares. We would definitely have her pet sit again!”
“John took a late booking to stay with our three cats for the weekend, and we are so pleased that he did! John was communicative in the booking process, scheduled a meet and greet that worked well for our schedule, came prepared, took notes, and immediately spoke cat language, putting us at ease. John gave fun updates, and enjoyed snuggles with our kitties. When we came home our kitties were relaxed and happy, clearly well cared for and attended to. The house was in great shape, respected and cared for. We will call on John again!”

“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“Craig gave our pup the exercise and the attention she needs. She came home happy everyday! He also worked with her on her lease pulling and gave me some tips. Thanks Criag!”
“Christopher was great! He was easy to communicate with and gave Change lots of great walks and burned out a lot of his energy. Would definitely recommend and book with him again when in Portland.”
About: I’m a work from home PhD student with one dog and one cat. I’d love to board or day care your doggo. I will be home with your dog for their entire stay. I’ll treat your dog as my own: giving them frequent potty breaks, a daily long walk, and lots of scritches. My Pom Ellie would love to have a friend who visits! I have several rooms and can separate your dog for meals, if needed. My dog is very much a food-hunter so our home is kept safe from doggies getting in to anything not meant for them. I only sit one dog at a time. You’ll get lots of photos and updates! 🤍 I run a business that is fully online from my home, and I am also a PhD student. So, I am always home and will be with your dog unless I have to run an errand. We take one longer walk per day and have many potty breaks otherwise (every 2-4 hours). Meals will happen on the schedule you describe. I have a Pomeranian here but she can be separated if your dog has special eating needs. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and in bed. Lots of toys around and my Pom will be so happy to have a friend to play with.
“Michael was a lifesaver today on Super short notice (my sitter cancelled last minute) he was very quick to reply, extremely friendly and professional, but best of all.. my dogs absolutely Loved him. I have an English bulldog w anxiety/separation issues and a mix doodle who is shy and full of energy at the same time. When I picked them up both were happy and my bulldog ran back for more scratches and play. That said everything i needed to know.. Will Def be rebooking next time I'm in town. Thank you again Michael!!”
“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!”
“Sheung is a very trustworthy and kind person! Mochi was under great care. He went on an amazing walk under the cherry blossoms, he played outdoors and was no doubt a very happy dog when we picked him up. She’s also located very close to an enclosed dog park so that’s a bonus. Sheung is Number One!”
“Mark is so great! My dog has severe anxiety and separation anxiety, so I'm always worried about having people watch her since I know the type can very difficult for people to handle. I explained my dogs issues with Mark and did a meet and greet, he was very friendly and more than happy to accommodate my sweet dog. Apparently she did very well and they went on some great walkies. :)”
“While we were on a road trip and in Portland just for the day, Lyle watched our dog so we could go to OMSI and Powell’s, etc. We booked last minute and Lyle even helped us with directions to his place. Our dog was happy when we picked him up, but also had a ton of energy so I’m not sure if he got much exercise while there. But I’m glad he had a place to wait and potty breaks.”
“I was super anxious leaving my dog with someone that wasn't my parents for the first time and Laura sent me some pictures and updates during their stay that really eased my mind :) It was so nice to have that reassurance! I would 1000% recommend and would hire again! Thanks so much guys!”
About: Certified helicopter dog mom here who will dote on your pet! I've had dogs for the past 16 years, spent time volunteering for endless adoption events and shelter visits, and am Red Cross certified in pet first aid and CPR. Seven years of pro pet care has allowed me to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages, from 5lb to 100lb, from babies to seniors. I've also been trusted with many cats and even rats, bunnies and a lizard! I'm always easy to reach and and can't resist a cute pet selfie, so you will get plenty of photo updates of your dog's stay with me! I have a super flexible schedule so feel free to reach out! I am a full-time freelancer, primarily in design and film, with pet care being my secondary gig. I typically make my own schedule and have long periods of open availability interspersed with intensely busy periods. You should know: because I live alone, my dog Teddy comes along on my overnight dog sitting bookings. He is very chill, respectful and easy tempered and I have never had a problem having him in other homes! At my place, I definitely let the pets rule the home and enjoy snoozing on the bed and couch. I do not have a fenced yard, so we will always be on leash for potty breaks in the back courtyard area or full walks. I typically do not do off leash dog parks until I have established trust with your dog, and feel strongly about strict safety rules for females in heat. In your home, I’ll defer to your rules!
“For our pup’s first doggy day care, Bryan took good care of him and helped out on short notice. He’s friendly, on time, and gave a full report on drop off. Will definitely book again.”
“Kristopher was awesome taking in our puppy who had not stayed at daycare before. We had previously tried to take him in to a daycare facility but he was so scared, he would not go in since there were so many loud dogs there. He absolutely loves Kristopher and is always so excited to see him each day we drop him off. One day our puppy got muddy while in his care and he even gave him a bath! We will keep going to Kristopher for doggy daycare as long as he lets us! Thank you so much for being so awesome!”
“Leah was great. I had to leave my 8 week old puppy with a sitter in an emergency, and Leah was very communicative, kind, and generous. She met me right outside her building so we had no trouble finding her. We sat and chatted for a bit inside before I left for the day, so I felt comfortable before heading out. She even gave Frankie a new stuffed animal that he now can't sleep without because he loves it so much. She sent multiple texts and pictures while I was away, so I felt secure that Frankie was safe and sound.”

“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.”
“Ian was very helpful and flexible in taking care of our dog and adjusted his schedule to help us out as another pet friend joined our family. We will use again in the future.”
“We are so stoked to have found Austin for our dog River! He’s dependable and kind, active and responsible. Our boy gets in a long walk around lunchtime thanks to him. Can’t appreciate Austin enough!”
“We are so pleased to have connected with Mathew. Jack seems to really like him and he was actually tired after yesterday’s walk! That’s rare. Looking forward to more walks with Mat.”
“Emily walked my pup in the middle of the day for 3 weeks and made it so easy. She came to meet basil before and was lovely. She was very communicative and an amazing walker. Highly recommend.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Lindsay. Our dog Ellie gets so excited every time she sees Lindsay. There have been several times I have booked very last minute and Lindsay has been so accommodating. Highly recommend!! Thank you Lindsay!”
About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“Felicia was so kind and patient with our nervous pup! She took the time to come meet us before the first walk and on the day of the walk spent a few extra minutes with Mocha to let her warm up to her before they started the walk. Felicia took lots of pictures and was a great communicator!”
“Thank you for taking time to walk Flint. You put a lot of effort and care into his walks and as always, I appreciate the knowledge and advice you share with me! You’re amazing!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’ve had experience doing jobs dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding since I was 12. I love animals and animals tend to love me too! I am currently stay-at-home, looking for a remote job so I can continue looking after my pets and hopefully yours. I am flexible and available on weekends. I have occasional trips home to see my family, but other than that I don’t travel that much. Every pet has its own personality and my care tends to match that, as well as the pets needs. One of the dogs I used to walk loved having a chance to sprint in circles over and over. I tailored her walks to go to a nearby, dog-friendly, fenced in park so she could get out all her wiggles before we walked back home.
“Rebecca is amazing! Our pups (one who is very selective) got along with her right away. She watched our pups while we were away and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. We’ll be sure to book her for many more walks as she took care of our pups special needs and communicated quickly and thoroughly.”
“I had a weekend trip planned to LA and entrusted Sam with taking care of my dogs. He was incredibly professional and took such great care of them. One of my dogs is usually very skittish and wary of strangers, and she barked a lot at Sam during their first meeting. However, Sam quickly and calmly soothed Sage and got her ready for a walk, which immediately put me at ease. I felt so relieved and grateful. Sam provided the best experience I've had on Rover. He took my dogs on walks with varied routes and followed all of my additional requests perfectly. Sam is truly a sitter I highly recommend, and I will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you, Sam!”
About: i’ve worked summers taking care of a sled dog team in alaska all various ages, sizes and needs. i walked them twice a day in different groups, giving older ones medicine when needed. i helped take care of over 50 dogs during that time i have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. there’s not a single time i remember not having a dog or cat. they are the joy that every day needs! i currently work at a breakfast restaurant so i get up early and get off work early, i am available to come in evenings and spend the night if needed i don’t offer to bring pets to my house. i am more than willing to come out to where you are for service, thanks!
About: As an animal lover I have spent over 15 years caring for dogs and other animals for my friends and family! The words “sweet” and “joyful” have often been used to describe my animal care practices - I will treat your dog like my own, and make sure they receive the attention you’d give them! Please feel free to ask any questions or arrange a meet and greet, I want to put your mind at ease! I work remote Mondays and Fridays, and can be with your animal full time those days! On Tuesdays through Thursdays I am in my office in Beaverton from 9 am to 3 pm, and can swing by before work, at lunch, and after work! Weekend availability is also open. I live with roommates and do not offer in-home care, but will be happy to follow any and all instructions you may give regarding care in your home! I am a runner, and happy to take your pup on a trot if that sounds fun and safe to you! Alternatively, walks are great! For your pet’s safety I avoid high-traffic areas with other dogs including dog parks.

Thank you so much, Madeline!”

“Chris is a phenomenal person; thoughtful, meticulous, and clearly dedicated to providing the best possible experience for every dog in his care. His home is beautiful, well-maintained, and exceptionally dog-friendly. We were naturally eager to know how Benz was doing after we left, and Chris quickly put our minds at ease by sending us a photo of Benz happily playing in a pool he had set up in the backyard for the dogs. That simple gesture warmed our hearts tremendously and showed just how much he cares. We highly recommend Chris and would send Benz to stay with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Amanda and her family were fantastic. We were confident to leave our dog and was able to enjoy our trip fully without worrying about our furry member of family. She sent me photos and updates daily. Thanks again!”
