“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!”
“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.”
“Peanut had another great stay with Taylor and Liv! She's able to fully relax with them and enjoys spending time with them. It's such a relief to know she's with people who genuinely care about her and enjoy her company.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Linda is the best with our funny and sensitive little dog! She sends us photos and updates daily, and seems to spoil her. We feel lucky and grateful for Linda!”
“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 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.”
“Dan was great -- he was flexible in accepting (rather last minute on my part) booking request. He took my big dog on several walks to wear him out! Pick up and drop off were a breeze. We'll be back!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“Vanessa was an incredible sitter to my Shiba Luffy, so much that he didn’t want to leave her side and would feel right at home in their home. Videos throughout the day, constant walks, even given treats from local vendors, Luffy probably wishes he was back for another weekend! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“Katherine did a great job watching Mason while I was on vacation. She kept me updated and sent pictures every day I was away. Would definitely reach out to you again!”
“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!”

“Trace was friendly, attentive, and made sure our little gal was given all the attention she needed while we were away. We appreciated the detail and humor of her drop-in updates (and the pictures, of course!). We'd recommend her highly and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“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.”

“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 :)”
“Charlie was a wonderful sitter for Dreamy. He was very proactive and communicative about potential issues and concerns, and I could tell that Dreamy loved her time with him. He is a true cat lover and a lovely person, and I will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Karly goes above and beyond to take care of my kitties while I am away! I work wildfire assignments and am gone for long durations of time, but feel comfortable and confident that my girls are always well taken care of with her!”
“Briana was an amazing sitter for my cat. She is very communicative and was so attentive to my cat. Briana was easy to get a hold of and she replied very quickly. My cat adored her and loved playing with her. I would 1000% book her again!”
“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!”
“Both Taylor and Brett were helpful and super on top of taking care of our cats, very professional and thorough with their reports and photos. I felt like our cats were in great hands.”
“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! 💖💛💖”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She was peace of mind for my kitties while i was away from home, and sent some really fantastic pics/videos of my babies. They were well taken care of. Will absolutely use Hannah again for when i am out of town!!”
“Took great care of my cat while I was away, playing with her, petting her, feeding her and taking her for walks. Sent me lots of pictures so I could see that Smudge was healthy and happy. Would definitely hire again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Buckman
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”
“Tommy is very friendly (to me and my dog). I really appreciated the flexibility of his schedule, because I had to drop Cornelius off very early in the morning. The pictures that Tommy sent me looked like Cornelius was comfortable and happy with his new dog friends. Tommy was communicated great with me, always responding to my messages right away.”
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.
About: I have over 15 year's experience caring for cats and dogs. I am reliable and very detail oriented to ensure pets are safe and happy. I am currently on a pension, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have reliable transportation and can be reached by cell anytime. My home is safe and welcoming for pets in my care. I am also very comfortable with dropping in your home to provide pet care.
“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”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”
“Danielle was great with Mango and she sent regular updates throughout the day. She made sure Mango felt comfortable throughout her stay. She was also very good a communicating when planning drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Danielle.”
“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!”

“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: 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.
“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!”
“Sidra is incredibly caring and focused on Jet’s well being and safety, being attentive to his cues and needs. After just one interaction I feel completely comfortable with Sidra taking care of Jet!”
“Ivory goes above and beyond to give our pups a great walk and attention while we are at work. Both dogs happy and tired in the evening. Ivory is quick to communicate with us and takes great pictures of dogs each walk. We highly recommend Ivory!”
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.
About: Hi! My name’s Camryn, but most people call me Cami. Like the title says- I’m here to become your pet’s new best friend. I’m a professional, reliable, and responsible caretaker. I have multiple years’ experience watching dogs of all sizes, along with cats. My current lifestyle isn’t suitable for a pet of my own, so I’m here to love your pets like they’re mine in the meantime! Rover is simply my outlet. My 9-5 keeps me busy and pays my bills, but pet sitting brings me joy, keeps me active, and pays for my shopping addiction 😉 Questions? Interested in setting up a meet & greet? Don’t hesitate to reach out! I typically work 8-5 Monday through Friday and fully in-person (in SE Portland). For any Friday sits, I’m typically not available until after 5 pm. I’m located near multiple parks and am in a very walkable neighborhood, so I can help your pup burn off some energy by going for a walk or run with them. There’s LOTS of dogs in my neighborhood and apartment complex, so in-home boarding likely wouldn’t be a good fit for reactive dogs.
“Ana is soo amazing and super reliable!! Really takes the stress off when I’m away at work for long hours. I’m so grateful to her! Thank you so much for the drawing of Marcela! It’s so cute! I love it!”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.
“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.”
About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
About: From when I was born until age eighteen, my family kept dogs in the home. For some years, we had six dogs in the house at the same time, and it took everybody to make sure they were well taken care of. Later in life, my family and friends continue to rely on me for overnight and drop-in pet care. I still miss my dogs terribly, and always take the opportunity for some dog time. I work part time, so my availability is: Tue-Fri: 10am to midnight Sat-Mon: 10am to 3pm This is just a baseline schedule and I may have availability outside these hours. I serve Hosford, Buckman, Lloyd, Old Town, Pearl, Knob Hill, Downtown, South Waterfront and other close in neighborhoods depending on your exact location I live in a pet free apartment, so I currently offer dog walking (or cat walking!) and drop-in care/playtime. I also recognize it takes a lot of trust to let someone into your home, which is why I offer a free meet and greet to determine if I'm a good fit for you and your pet.

Allen's house has access to a wonderful outdoor space with trees and room to run and play ball. He really gets to know your dog and I am so grateful for his care for Annie when we are out of town!”
“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.”
