“Sandy took wonderful care of my dog, Albert, and kept me updated with great communication throughout his stay. Albert clearly enjoyed hanging out with other dogs his size, and I could tell he was well cared for. I’d absolutely book with Sandy again!”
“Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.”
“Noemi was great! Very communicative, open and honest! My little guy is a senior and very anxious in new environments. By the 2nd day, I believe he was way more settled! She really cares for your pets while away and she even has her family to help assist which they all were friendly as well! I’ll definitely be booking again with Noemi!!”
“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!”
“A big thanks to Christopher, he made the whole process easy. We were able to relax on vacation knowing he was being cared for through updates and pictures. We definitely recommend him to others!”
“Madeline is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. My pup had so much fun, I was nervous leaving him with anyone, she communicated the entire time. Sent me photos and lets me know how my boy is doing. Will be booking for more than a week next time. House is amazing very well prepared for any dog she takes care of. I was very much at peace while on my vacation knowing my pup is in good hands.”
“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!”
“Dan took wonderful care of my two Labradors especially during a hot spell. He was undaunted about one of them being a 11 month puppy . I appreciated his care and attention to them.”
“Carrie did an awesome job watching my two dogs! Her house has a great fenced in yard and I got plenty of pictures of Blaze and Ember having a blast playing outside. Would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dogs!”
“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.”
“Linda was so accommodating and friendly, I felt at ease with them right away! They were so kind to take photos of our little dog Murphy which once we got back into cell reception it was a delight to see he had his own very fun vacation! Thanks so much Linda, you’re our first contact for our next time away!”
“We had the best experience leaving Alfred with Josh! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with someone other than a friend and we were nervous but Josh made it very easy with daily updates, pictures, and videos. It was clear how happy and well taken care of Alfred was for the entire week we were gone. It made our trip 100x better because we knew Alfred was in such good hands and we could just enjoy ourselves. We will absolutely book with Josh again and cannot recommend highly enough!”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“It is always hard to leave your fur children! AlListon was amazing though. We got lots of pictures of our old man. She’s definitely knowledgeable about dogs and works hard to ensure their needs are met. He came home happy and healthy”
“We cant’t say enough good things about our recent pet sitting experience with Gayle. It was our first time using Gayle and we were very happy with her communication and focus on the details to make sure the visit went as planned and it did. But more importantly was her attention to our dogs and making them feel at home in a new environment. In particular one of our dogs is a bit older and needs a little more attention and Gayle was very attentive to that. We would definitely recommend Gayle’s services.”
“Luna loved staying over! I recieved lots of pictures and updates throughout her time with Dahlia! They were super communicative and understanding when my flight was delayed!”
“Our pups had such a great time with Taylor and Liv. We felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. They were comfortable with administering meds, managing their reactivity, and ensuring our pups were comfortable.”

“Minda was exactly who we needed to house sit our recently adopted 1yo kitty. She knew exactly how to take care of her, even how to deal with a couple kitty shenanigans that took place. Her communication went above and beyond and was very clear. She left our house in great condition, as if no one was ever there. We were very grateful to have her watching our Misha while we were out of town. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Robin stayed at our house for 3 nights and looked after our 3 cats who all have varying behavior and medical needs. We got lots of cute pictures and all our cats seemed to really enjoy Robin's company.”
“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.”
“John took care of everything we discussed perfectly. He was friendly and we're convinced our kitties were happier upon our return from our trip than other times. We appreciate his willingness to give the cats the love and care they needed while we were gone.”
“Maya was communicative, punctual and professional. My kitties and apartment were both well cared for. I will book with her again without hesitation.”
“I have now used Charles 3 times. He is my absolute best and favorite cat sitter. He is always on time, communicates well, and covers all the basic cat care needs. What puts him above everyone else is that I believe he truly loves all he does- can caring for cats be someone’s calling? Apparently so! My cat also absolutely adores him.”
“Ann is a senior cat whisperer!! She took wonderful care of our two senior cats who have many medication needs and eating trickiness. She sent daily updates with pictures and text to let us know how things were going. We felt lucky to have her help and would definitely ask her to watch them again. Thanks ann!!”
“Gera was so amazing. My cat was well fed and had a lot of fun hanging out with Gera. Im so glad to find someone who i could trust taking care of my baby when im not home.”
“Josh is everything you want in an animal care person - reliable, thoughtful, genuine, caring, available, and excellent! We’ve partnered w him several times and they’ve all been great!”
“Honey knows it's Friday — she's at the door waiting for Scott. That alone says everything. She's leash reactive and not the easiest dog to walk, but Scott handles her with calm patience every single time. He's also great at communicating — any schedule adjustments are always clear and timely. We wish he could walk her every day!”
“We hired Jasper & Jaydon for house sitting as well as drop in visits for our pup and two cats. They were communicative, timely, respectful, and had quick response time. They sent photos and updates frequently, which brought great comfort to me. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care. We hope to have them be our sitter for a long time coming!”
“Cailen has been a wonderful petsitter for my two cats, Frosty and Joey. She spent a half hour with them twice a day and sent descriptions and pictures at each visit. I was impressed by how she engaged the felines and how wonderful her descriptions and photos were. She also left the pet areas very clean. I highly recommend Cailen.”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“Anastasia was an amazing caretaker for our puppy! We last minute needed to find a sitter and she was able to accommodate. She was very easy to communicate with, and provided lots of photos and updates. It helped ease our minds leaving our puppy with someone for the first time. Would definitely recommend!”
“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++”
“Margaret was kind enough to take care of Boingo on a Saturday when she normally doesn’t do weekend daycare! She clearly understands dogs and gave me some training tips when I picked up my puppy, which I really appreciate. Boingo was exhausted and happy after his day here - will definitely bring him back.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have also taken care of farm animals. I genuinely love animals. I am currently applying to PhD programs. I love the environment and animals and hope to be able to walk your dog! I live near a wonderful dog park and love my neighborhood. I also know how to make dogs feel comfortable as they meet new people and are exposed to others. I am flexible and am open to odd hours of the day. I also really believe in making pets feel as though they are at home and with their owners. Thank you for the opportunity to care after your doggo! I really look forward to meeting you and your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have my own pet at home, so caring for animals is already woven into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I build my schedule around making sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship, just as I do for my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, so my approach adjusts to each situation. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions to keep things familiar and low-stress. When pets stay in my home for boarding, I treat them like my own: safe spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervision throughout the day.
“Amazing! I feel so lucky to have found Mark! Clovie loves it there. She comes back to me happy. Since she started going, she has been doing even better with listening and following cues! Mark is so flexible, understanding and super easy to work with. Thanks Mark, you’re the BEST!”
“I had to book with Emma in a very short time noticed due of a previous situation with another doggy day care person in Rover. I was very thankful and appreciative with Acadia and Emma for accepting my request and helping take care of my Gambit after explaining what has happened with my situation. I would totally 100 percent recommend them. Gambit instantly felt very comfortable with Acadia and their dog and they were keeping me updated about Gambit consistently. Thank you so much Acadia and Emma for taking care of my baby. Would definitely keep you in mind for next time.”
“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!!”
“Penn was so happy so see Evita. He was making happy crying sounds when we approached Evita. Evita sent a regular update on Penn’s status and the cutest picture of him and NuNu.”
“Chica had a great visit for the day! Rossana was very attentive and provided a safe, clean (and spacious) environment. Chica is still getting used to be left with other people and this was a very positive experience for 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!
“Lisa and Brian took great care of our pups, and had wonderful communication before and during care! The dogs were well supported in good hands, and we would be glad to return in the future!”

About: I love spending time with pets and walking outside. I've taken care of dogs since childhood, and now I live between Laurelhurst and Mt Tabor, so there's no shortage of trails in the area. Let's go!! I'm currently taking a sabbatical after several years working in tech, so I am available for your pet at all hours of the day! Staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet than a trip to a boarding facility. Allow me to help your pet stretch their legs! I also have many years experience administering medication to grumpy cats, through my own grump, Moe.
“We are so fortunate to have found Aaron. He’s everything you’d want in someone you’ve entrusted to care for/walk your dog (s). He’s punctual. A great communicator. WONDERFUL with our boy. We’re super appreciative to Rover for linking us with Aaron!”
About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand how important it is to maintain a pet's daily routine in their own comfortable environment. Because I work from home, I bring my flexible schedule directly to you, providing dedicated sitting and drop-in care without leaving your pets alone for long hours. You can relax knowing your home will be respected and your animals will receive attentive companionship, regular exercise, and plenty of love. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available weekends, most afternoons and evenings. I'll stick to your pet's routine in their own home, giving your fur baby the company/exercise they need and giving you peace of mind while you're away!
“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.”
About: I've been around dogs a lot in my life, but I helped raise a puppy (healer lab mix) with my ex partner this year, and learned a ton about what it takes to keep a dog happy and take care of a challenging, high energy, and extremely cute pup. Can't personally adopt right now, so I'm looking to make furry friends through rover! I work remote/hybrid, work early mornings on weekdays so my afternoons are typically open/free. I'm busy on a lot of weekends but will accommodate jobs where I can! Happy to go on walks, dog park adventures, hikes, playing in the yard, will treat your best friend like my best friend! I don't have a yard so I'd have to use your space or a local park.
“Kira is so communicative and easy to work with! She’s very through in the “rover cards” and I have so much peace of mind knowing my pup is being cared for by her.”
“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!”
“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”
“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: My most recent animal care experience is from my current Veterinary Hospital Assistant job. This year, I also worked as a Temporary Kennel Technician and volunteered at One Tail At A Time in Portland. I’ve gained experience safely handling animals with different personalities, monitoring behavior, administering medications, and helping maintain a clean and safe environment for both animals and people. I also completed Dog and Cat First Aid Training through American Red Cross. I currently have a full-time job as a Veterinary Hospital Assistant. My work schedule is not consistent right now, but will be eventually. For now I will be updating my calendar frequently to show my days off that I am available for hire on Rover. I will send consistent updates, photos, and stick closely to your pet's routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm currently accepting new clients for walks and drop-ins, so feel free to message me!
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Sam was so great at communicating with me throughout her time with my pup. Mocha can be very nervous around new people and Sam worked really hard to help her feel safe and build trust!”

“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.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. I grew up caring for animals by pet sitting dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets while having dogs in my home as well. My partner also grew up volunteering at local animal shelters and had dogs in the family as long as they can remember. We have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. Until recently, we cared for our senior dog with a slew of genetic health issues who has since passed and our current dog has ongoing eye care needs. Because of this, we are comfortable administering eye drops and ointments, oral medications, ear ointments, and we are happy to learn any medication routine your pet requires. Our current dog also came to us completely untrained and not housebroken, so we understand the patience and consistency it takes to help dogs learn new routines. We’re happy to continue potty training and reinforce positive habits while your puppy stays with us. Since we both work from home, your dog won’t be left along for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Our current dog reads social cues very well and is great at helping new dogs feel comfortable. Above all, we treat every pet like they are part of the family. We know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend and we will make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a part of our daily routine. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is always home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. Our dog enjoys 3 walks a day, including 1 longer walk or outing. We are happy to adjust that routine to fit your pets needs. We’re also available most weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated like family. We live in an apartment at ground level with easy access to parks and potty areas. Because someone is always home, your dog will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine. Well follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication routine, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and at home.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat, Atlas, during the two weeks we were out of the country. We really appreciated your daily updates and the care and attention you gave him throughout his stay. Your cat room was delightful, and it was wonderful to know that Atlas felt so comfortable and happy while we were away. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely use your cat boarding services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy!”
“Kristen and her partner are the best! We had our pup stay at their house while we traveled for the week. Her communication was excellent- providing updates with photos every day, it was something our family always looked forward to. It was clear that our pup was happy at their home - large backyard to play in, lovely walks in the neighborhood, a space to hide upon hearing fireworks, lovely humans to keep him company. Highly recommend!!”
“My dog Remy had another great stay with Anastasia. I appreciate the awesome care and the pics/videos that she sent. I will definitely book with her anytime my dog needs boarding 😀”
“Tammy was great - super responsive communicator, sent lots of updates, and was easy to work with to figure out logistics. We appreciate the great care she provided!”
“Allen was easy to trust as he constantly reassured me that my anxious and energetic pup would have a great time. I received regular updates from Allen, and positive feedback on my dog's behavior and how he was doing with the other dogs. Allen was very accommodating!”
“Kyle is such an amazing dog sitter! I felt so comfortable leaving my 80lb staffy mix with her and her pup Junie. She walked canon at least x2 a day. She has a great fenced back yard for the dogs to play in as well! She sent me updated photos every day on how Canon was doing. I highly recommend Kyle! And I’m so grateful I met her from ROVER! She made Canon feel like he was right at home and it was also a little vacation for him as well😃☀️”
“Maggie took such incredible care of Indie! He had a great time going on walks, playing with her dog Ellie, and lounging around the home. Maggie gave us regular updates and was super communicative. Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Dahlias enjoyed her visit with Michael. He gave her a lot of personal attention and belly rubs. She is a nervous girl, and he helped her to feel safe and comfortable.”
“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!”
