“My dog is a sweet but VERY anxious rescue. She warms up to people over time, but with hesitation. I’m so grateful when I get photos of Pepper snuggling up with Sandra on the couch and happily hanging out. She’s so loved and cared for. Such piece of mind for me when I’m out of town! 💕”
“Thanks for providing such great care for Chewie! I loved the photo updates. We were really able to enjoy our time away, knowing he was in good hands. Such loving and competent care! We will be back.”
“Leaving our dog with Rosemary was such a relief! We are always stressed to leave our dog behind when we're out of town but Rosemary was so great about sending updates and reassuring us. She had all the fun toys and a space for our dog to run--I'm pretty sure he was depressed when we got back and he had to go back to his regular house!”
“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kris was very communicative- providing regular photos and updates during the boarding. This was the best experience we have had boarding our pets. Definitely recommend!”
“Jason and Lindsay & their boys were available at a moment's notice when my schedule sitter fell through. They provided Rosie with attentive and loving care, and I would absolutely trust them with my sweet girl anytime.”
“Christine and Steven took such good care of our dog while we were away. We were out of town on our honeymoon and didn’t have any stress about whether or not he was in good hands. We got daily photos and brief updates that made a huge difference. We will definitely be using them again!”
About: I have a decade of experience taking care of small to medium dogs. Have a lot of experience with senior animals and animals with disabilities and know how to handle and distribute medications if needed. I am currently on summer break from work as I am a Special Edcation paraeducator. I am somewhat of a homebody who loves to spend her time reading and taking walks outside. I tend to go to bed fairly early at night so that I'm up early to take care of my own fur baby. This tends to be the same when school is in session as well. As stated before I have a fur baby of my own. A cat named Phoebe who loves people and getting to know other animals. I love spending time with the animals I take care of whether its walk or play time. Bonding is very important to me. I want your fur babies to feel as safe and comfy as possible when they're with me. There's also nice parks nearby where I live so I can take them to play anytime the weather is nice.
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“We left our 9 month old French bulldog for the first time with Amy and family for one week. Amy provided regular updates and responded to my texts. Was happy to see regular photos of him playing with other pups, cuddled up with her family or other dogs sleeping peacefully. He came home happy and healthy, and tired. We will definitely book with Amy in the future.”
“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”
“Took such great care of my pup. I could tell he had a wonderful time and wasn’t stressed with being away from home. Will use every time I need pet care if they are available.”
“Kristen and her husband were amazing boarders for our two rambunctious pups! She was an excellent communicator sending updates every morning and evening, very quick to respond and organized. Our dogs were so tired when they returned home from the many walks and snuggles they received. I will happily reach out to Kristen again for future bookings!”
“Rebecca is the only sitter I trust Stella with for an extended stay! She sent me frequent picture updates and I could tell she embraced Stella as part of her own pack, letting her sleep on the bed, giving her a take-home toy when she fell in love with a rubber chicken, even taking her to the Coast while I was away. So thankful we have Rebecca as Stella's sitter and boarder!”
“It takes a certain level of trust to leave your pup with someone new for several days when you are traveling outside cell-reception range, and Holly earned it from us after the very first meet & greet. She was very professional, obviously having lots of experience watching dogs in the past. Her space is very dog-friendly and has a large fenced backyard. She listened to all of our special requests, sent frequent updates, and made sure to keep the dogs safe during the first heatwave of the year. I would absolutely trust Holly to watch our dog again.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Josh took us in last minute, and was very communicative. Our dog felt comfortable with him right away and we felt very confident about her stay”
“Sarah was wonderful, and I would absolutely book with her again. She took great care of my dog, Gummi, and he got along so well with her Pomeranian, Ellie. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos because they gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gummi was happy, having fun, and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“As first time Rover users, we feel so fortunate to have found Nad in taking great care of our senior cat, Chase & Corgi dog, Koji. She had kept us posted with daily pics and feedback of our fur babies which really helped put us at ease while we were away. It can be such a challenge when leaving an old cat and a younger dog to the care of someone new, thankfully Nad was able to fulfill the duty and made the boarding experience both peaceful and fun for my pets. We will definitely be back for Nad's service in the future the next time we plan a trip away from home.”
“I highly recommend Alexis if you’re looking for a accommodating and caring sitter for your pets. She took care of our dog and cat and for about a week during which she sent daily photos and was very responsive.”

I would highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a responsible, communicative pet sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Mary was amazing! This was the first time she did a drop in for my kitty - she showed up right on time and did everything I asked her to! Finding a trustworthy sitter can be hard so I’m happy to have found her and I know my cat feels the same. Would definitely love to have Mary check in on my girl again 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you!!😊”

“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Alyssa Jayne was absolutely wonderful and took great care of our cat. Her communication was clear and effective; we trusted her ability to identify issues if they appeared, but most of all knew how to provide our cat with the love and support he needed. Thank you for everything!!”
“Chance was great with my shy boy, who warmed right up to him. He asked great questions in our meet and greet, and I felt confident in leaving my pup with him. Looking forward to having him watch Sab again!”

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.
“Evita is super lovable, responsible, and flexible sitter. Our dog loves going to her home and spend time with her. Thank you for all that you do for Lulo!”
“Laura is clearly a dog lover and took amazing care of our Nebula while we explored Portland for the day. She made Nebula feel comfortable and excited right away and went the extra mile to really help her adjust to us leaving. She took Neb and a few different walks and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“Megan is so kind. I made a last minute request for her to watch my anxious boy Humphrey while they tested the fire alarms in my building all day. He and Megan spent the full day together and she even took him on multiple walks! He was in such a great mood when I picked him up, so I knew he had a great time. Thanks again, Megan!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lily has a fantastic time with her new friend Craig and always comes home in a great mood. Craig is attentive, plays with her, and genuinely loves spending time with the dogs he cares for. I'd give him 1000 stars if I could - highly recommend!”
“Margaret provides top- notch care for my pup! I bring my puppy to her for daycare while I'm at work, and I am so grateful to have chosen such a great place for her. Margaret is knowledgeable about dogs and provides focused care. Sloane is always very excited when we arrive, and spends the whole day playing with other dogs... she's also made best friends with Margaret's cat! It's truly been a great experience. I highly recommend Margaret and her care!”

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!!”

“Rosie’s now a happy dog! My three legged rescue is very leery of people yet took to Chance right away. He is very calm and unassuming, which I feel puts Rosie at ease. She is thrilled to be walked by Chance and waits by the door when I mention his name. I receive updates, photos and many details of each walk. It is comforting that Rosie is getting exercise with someone we both trust.”

She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”

About: Hi, my name is Ruby dog owner of senior scruffy Havanese. Looking for your pet to be treated with care and respect and come back to an even better well behavior pet. I might be perfect fit to be the pet sitter for you. All round animal lover, I love taking love walks in forest with a couple of treats in hand and furry companion. I will make sure your animal has enriched environment and doesn't make a mess by the time you return home and want to cuddle with your pet. I am well versed with puppies and senior dogs but I research each type of breed/ and animal so I more acquitted and can personalize with type of care need for each pet I take care of. I have pretty calm relaxing but fun personality. Hope to hear from you and pet soon :) I typically have afternoon and mornings free on Thursdays and Fridays, and depending on my schedule I do have entire days to do drop ins as well. I bring treats, doggy bags, toys, notebook, phone and sanitary wipes to each house I visit and will take update videos and photos during the day of your pet.
“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!”
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.
“Rebecca was wonderful with our bug, energetic lab and made us both feel immediately at ease. He was thrilled to head off on a walk with her, and she clearly knew how to navigate a giant puppy with ease. We will look forward to having her again.”
About: With over 15 years of experience, I’ve fully trained my Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Bonus: if your pup is good off-leash, I go to the Sandy River Delta 3x a week! As a recent graduate, I have free time to walk your pups. I’m available early mornings, weekends, and so on! I work out my dogs 2x a day with plenty of time to walk yours! :) I live in a home without a backyard. However, I am steps away from a large park, also nearby the Laurelhurst park! If your pup hangs at my home, I'll walk them as much as you request, and they will enjoy the beautiful parks nearby.
