“Bentley can get really nervous around new people but immediately warmed up to Sandy. He was exhausted when he came home so I knew he had a great time! I loved getting pictures of him while I was away! Sandy is wonderful!”
“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!”
“Dahlia & her partner Nic were fantastic watching my senior dog. My dog has some quirks and special needs in her old age (medication, eating schedule, etc) but Dahlia was unphased and accommodating. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing my dog was in such great care. Our flight was delayed one hour returning from our trip, and Nic was so kind to stay up the extra hour so we could still pick our dog up on the planned night. Thank you, Dahlia & Nic!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”
“Vanessa took great care of our elderly pup! She came back very relaxed and rested which is just the way she likes it. Very responsive and great communication, will definitely use her again when we need someone to watch her!”
“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!”
“Veronica is very sweet. She was very nice to my dog. Her 2 dogs are very friendly and seems like my dog had a great time at Veronica’s house. I will ask her again. I do strongly recommend her to all dog owners.”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”
“They are the nicest people and treated Tom as if he was their own. They kept sending pics of Tom having the best time, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”
“Tammy took great care of our golden. She texted often to give us updates on how he was doing and we knew he was in good hands. We look forward to working with Tammy again in the future.”
“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”
“Jake took great care of my dog for a week on short notice. He's very flexible and responsive and his dog is super easy going with my dog. I've booked with him twice now, and plan on booking within in the future!”
“Amber provided excellent care. Otis had a great time! We wanted Otis to experience more socialization with other dogs and he had two days of fun and playing with Amber and her family. Her location is perfect for travel out of PDX.”
“I was very excited to find Rosemary, after my original Rover sitter cancelled on me. We did a Meet and Greet beforehand, and Rosemary was so warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease, and assured that the dogs would be in good hands. From beginning to end, Rosemary was very communicative, responded quickly, and followed up when she said she would. She sent updates and pics of how the dogs were doing during their stay. Rosemary understood the needs of our dogs. We will definitely use Rosemary in the future. She is a breath of fresh air, and a great sitter!”
“Katherine was super communicative while watching my dog for ~10 days and really put me at ease while I was traveling. My dog quickly became comfortable in Katherine’s home which was a great sign — Will definitely go back for future dog sitting needs!”
“My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”

“Meg was great with my cats including one grumpy boy who needed medications twice a day. She also went above and beyond in dealing with a lock/key situation. Definitely recommend.”
“Mary took excellent care of out cats while we were away. Her presence was so calming that our cat that usually runs and hides from visitors, eventually stayed in her cat tree upon Mary's arrival, instead of bolting upstairs. We considered it a huge success for our little Tortie Buddy. Mary has great communication, and I appreciate all of the effort she puts into finding our expert hider, and the great pictures she shares each visit.”
“Carmen was so accommodating and kind when watching Ollie. Her communication was great and very appreciated, I would certainly have her watch my cat again. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”
“Tayla is wonderful! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I felt at ease knowing she spent quality time with my feline friend and she was attentive to take care of everything he needed and a variety of play options. Excellent communication and also sends lots of cute pics”
“Holden took care of our cats while we were away for the week. They were easy to reach, very responsive, and made sure our cats were safe and sound. Highly recommend! Will book again!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Alison did a great job taking care of my cats! She's very responsive and easy to communicate with, and my cats loved playing with her. Definitely will be reaching back out for future trips”
“Trace was an amazing sitter for our two cats. She was always on time for drop-in visits, posted informative updates and cute pictures, and was very responsive. We will definitely reach out to her first the next time we need a sitter.”
“Took my cat for daily walks with a leash and harness as well as feeding her, playing with her, giving her cuddles and removing the poop from her litter box while I was gone for a week. I got cute photos of my cat every day so I knew she was okay. Very reliable, goes above and beyond!”
“Absolutely perfect! Came by to pick up keys and meet my cat before my trip and get the layout of where things were kept. She always sent new photos of the visits which was great, I already know I will be working with Evita again for any future trips out of town if I can! Thank you again so so much for taking care of Gaia, she truly loved your company.”
“Micaela was fabulous! Everything went smoothly and she was awesome with the photos and updates. I came home to a very clean apartment and I can tell she took great care of my kitty”
“Charlie was great! Our cats and chickens were in great hands, and we received updates throughout. Charlie even picked up a rogue poop from our diva cat. 😂 We will definitely be reaching out again for all pet sitting needs.”
“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”
“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!”
“Molly was great! She kept in regular communication and provided updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated. My cat is very standoffish with new people but she came around to Molly and seems to have enjoyed her company and care. Thanks again!”
“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”

“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”
“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!”
“Chris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris 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!”
“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.”
“Tommy was extremely communicative and provided a lot of good updates and photos during my dog's stay! You can tell he's really good with dogs and loves to be with them. Absolutely recommend Tommy to anyone in downtown PDX!”
“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!”
“Emily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there won’t be any worries. My dachshund usually doesn’t eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.”
“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”
“Love to go to Allison for daycare stays! She is very organized and a great communicator. She is incredibly attentive with the differing mix of pups each day. Athena always comes back happy and well exercised!”
“Leah was available last minute to care for my new puppy. She sent several photos and updates throughout the time and it was clear my puppy loved her when I went to pick her up she kept pulling me back to Leah! We will definitely be using this star sitter more in the near future. thanks Leah.”
About: Hi, I’m Gabriella! I’m a stay-at-home software developer, which means someone is here with your dog all day - no long stretches alone, no rushing home between meetings. My sidekick is Milo, our mini bernedoodle. He goes to the dog park twice a day and has yet to meet a dog he didn’t immediately adore. Honestly, having a friend in the house is his dream scenario, so your pup would be doing him a favor. Your dog gets two dog park trips a day, a playmate who never runs out of energy, and photo updates you didn’t ask for but will enjoy. I’ll treat them exactly how I’d want Milo treated - safe, spoiled, and pleasantly worn out by bedtime. My schedule is built around dogs already, so adding one doesn’t change much. I’m home all day working, so your dog is never alone for long stretches — just a friend at my feet while I work, with breaks for play and attention throughout the day. Milo and I hit the dog park twice a day, morning and late afternoon, and your pup comes along (or gets a neighborhood walk instead if the dog park isn’t their scene). Meals, medications, and potty breaks run on whatever schedule you set — I’d rather keep your dog’s routine than impose mine. Evenings are calm: couch time, a little play, and lights out at a normal hour. Weekends look the same, just slower. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can play, relax, and feel at home. With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m attentive to their individual needs, ensuring they’re always safe, happy, and comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands, treated with the same care and love as my own!
“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”
“Margaret was an excellent sitter - extremely diligent and flexible. She sent me photos of Lana playing with the other pups and kept me informed the whole stay. Would definitely recommend Margaret!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ava is a gem! Super communicative, flexible, and caring. Very convenient to downtown Portland / Pearl District / Goose Hollow / Nob Hill. She met with me and my pup before our day care booking with her sweet Golden Retriever ‘Lila - I immediately noticed how well cared for and well mannered her pup is, which is in my opinion a very good sign of her care and dedication. Moseley can be anxious with new environments and being away from his people at first, she gave him love and helped him calm into his day with her and took him on a nice walk. Would absolutely book again!”
“Wonderful experience with Daisy! She is everything you could hope for in a sitter. Lots of communication, photos, genuine care, and treats for my Chuchi! He warmed right up to her and I will definitely return the next I'm in need of a Portland sitter.”

“Kai took great care of my 2 dogs! Took them on a nice long walk, and made sure they had everything they needed. Also, he was able to book on very short notice! Would definitely book another walk with Kai for next time.”
“My dog is getting up in years and some days has energy and some days wants to take it slow. I can always count on Tayla to be sensitive to her needs each day and tailor her walk. I couldn’t be happier with her sensitivity and kindness to my dog.”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.
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.
“Best dog walker ever. So grateful my dog has such a caring and wonderful buddy to take her on walks while I’m at work. Highly recommend Alicia, especially for anxious dogs like mine :)”
“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!”
“I give Ursula 5 stars and this is not something I would do typically this early in the services you guys are providing but my Barney spotted her in my parking lot and I cracked open the window so he could get her scent and bam ! He immediately loved her,no matter who it is Barney will bark at any one coming up my stairs and he did not Bark when Ursula came up AND he whimpered when she left. She updated me every step of the way with multiple pictures and lastly she has gave me peace of mind so i can focus on work .”
“Mat was super great to work with. I dog Jackson really liked him and enjoyed their daily walks together while I was out of town. Mat was super responsive and sent lots of great pictures about his adventures with Jackson. Will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Hello! Give me a reason to be outside and to bring your pup with me! I grew up with a veterinarian for a dad so I’m no stranger to critter care and maintenance. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Chihuahua (I’ve owned two of each!) I’m ready to go strolling with them! Also very comfy with cats. I am busy busy with work but looking to fill in some of my down time with pet walks and check ins. I have a fluctuating schedule and am available and random times. I am unable to provide pet care in my home. As for entering an animals space, I proceed with friendly caution and follow cues of the animal. Safety for all is #1!
“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.”
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.

“My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Madeline and highly recommend her! She took great care of our dog, Jayda, during a stressful time for our family and made the whole process so much easier. Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!”
“Kristen is fantastic! This was the second time she cared for our dog Watson while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent, with thoughtful updates and great photos sent to us throughout his stay. Most importantly, Watson clearly loves spending time with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust!”
“Allen was super accommodating and sent constant updates to us to help us feel comfortable and assured that Pax was happy. Allen has a great outdoor space that has a semi private fenced in dog park where dogs can roam and romp. Thanks Allen! Pax loved it there!”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“Christopher gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. He met Ted, our Aussiedoodle, the week before scheduled our trip. While we were gone, he housesat and gave Ted lots of attention. He sent us text messages daily with photos of their outings. The house looked great when we got home and Ted was pretty mellow.”
“We hit the jackpot with Zo and Margaret!!! My girl is timid, has a sensitive tummy, and goes on a hunger strike every time I leave. Not only did Margaret and Zo treat her like the queen she is, they loved and pampered her like their own. I came home to a relaxed pup who was hesitant to leave (why would she want to?!)! There are no words adequate enough to convey my gratitude to Zo and Margaret. Their excellent care of my girl, their timely communication, and their highly evident love of animals allowed me to relax and enjoy a trip with my family. I am forever grateful!”
“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”
“I was in dire need for someone to watch my dog Tanner. Amanda and her family excepted him for me at the last minute. He did very well at there place, and I am very confident that he will continue to do well there, as I will continue to bring him to there house Thank you again for all your help and support.”
