“Julie and Barry have been watching our little Cadi for a few years now. They give her all the love and care she needs. She's fussy about her food and loves lots of attention. She can be quite needy. They are so patient and loving with her. Cadi loves staying with them. They are the best!”
“Laura was so amazing!! We left our 4 month old puppy with her and she was extremely accommodating. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and even sent us updates, since our 5 year old son was pretty concerned about leaving his best friend with a stranger. I felt very comforted knowing Sylvie was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Gabriela was a great sitter for my 11 year old pup Rigo. She was responsive and friendly. She sent pictures of their walks together and made sure to keep me updated. My boy is a bit picky and she went above and beyond getting him to eat. I would request her to watch my pup again in the future!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“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!”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“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.”
“Devin is an awesome dog sitter. My 9 month old had a great time. I loved the updates that she sent me. It really put me at ease and made my vacation more enjoyable.”
“Adrienne was the best! It was our first time leaving our dog for more than 12 days. She sent updates with little clips all pieced together into one video which was so nice to see our dog in action and having so much fun. It gave me such peace of mind to see her so comfortable and to have settled in so fast. Our dog was clearly so well taken care of and taken care of like her own. She even washed our pup’s eye boogers out! She gets so many but I never expect anyone to clean them. Highly recommend Adrienne!!”
“If I could leave more stars than 5, I would - Allison is just wonderful; it’s such a blessing to leave Juno with such confidence. Thank you, Allison! :-) See you next time!”
“We had our new puppy stay over while we went on a 4 day vacation. I could tell he had lots of fun! While he's definitely adorable I know he's a handful so thank you so much!”
“Keaton and fam were awesome! Daily check ins with photos of our dog having fun and being comfortable. He took great care of our dog and was totally evident in the pictures and when we picked her up! Highly recommend, will definitely use him again!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“I needed a catsitter super last minute and reached out to Robin. I got a quick response and nailed down the plan within the day. Thanks for the quick turnaround and for taking great care of my babies!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Emma was great with my cat Newt during a couple drop-in visits while I was away. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and sent helpful updates. I’d happily book with her again.”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We are so grateful to have found Lori! She really went above and beyond in her care for our cat. She was punctual, thorough, responsive, and sent wonderful photos and detailed notes about each visit. She clearly has a way with animals and we felt very comfortable leaving our cat (and home) in her care. She is thoughtful and kind as well! I’d recommend Lori to anyone and will definitely be reaching out to her next time we head out of town!”
“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!”
“Alysa was great! Our kitties really enjoyed her visits, especially Buster. Posey did too but she’s a little more timid, but she didn’t run and hide every time. Will definitely use her again 👍”

“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!”
“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”
“Devin was wonderful and very trust worthy. Made us feel good to know we were leaving our pup in great hands! Her backyard is an ideal space for play time. Our pup seemed very comfortable! Would definitely recommend Devin!”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ariane is a great communicator, and it’s obvious she’s great with dogs. my dog loved her right away. I appreciate her exercising my pup and loving on him afterwards. Will definitely leave my boy with her again!”
“Keaton was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for an entire day, making sure he had plenty of potty breaks (every hour) and multiple 30 minute walks to get out his energy. He was fantastic with Eggington and made sure he felt safe and comfortable (Eggington took to him immediately!). Greatly appreciate Keaton's care towards dogs and flexibility to work with our schedules!”
“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!”
“What a fantastic oasis for our pup! She had an amazing time here, was lovingly welcomed and well taken care of. We would have her stay again if we were in town longer. This family is fantastic and provides a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”
“Xóchitl loved Gabriela. Thank you so much for taking such great care. We got pictures of their walks together. Excellent communication. Highly recommend Gabriela and would definitely have her watch our dog next time we are in town and need a sitter. Mil gracias Gabriela.”
“Lauren is great! My dog loved her, and she was very considerate of his nervousness and followed our care instructions perfectly to make him comfortable. Her communication is quick, and we’re so happy she was available to watch our puppy! Two thumbs up!!!!”

“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 Opie loves Kira! She’s is super kind and very responsive. There was a day that my dog wasn’t feeling very good and had an accident which Kira handled! I’m very thankful to have her help!”
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.”
“I forgot to mention in my last review that Natasha takes the best pictures. She also gives my dog a daily grade which let's me know how her training is progressing and makes the daily report feel like a report card from school, which I adore. Natasha is amazing, patient, reliable, communicative, honest, caring, truly a dream and a blessing of a dog walker. Her daily reports are detailed, cumulative, and progressive. I really couldn't ask for more.”
“Anna was so professional and considerate of our house and our old dog. She asked all the right questions and made sure he was comfortable with her before we booked. Absolutely would recommend!”
“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.”

“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”
“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.

“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.

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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“Theresa was amazing! From the start, she was super easy to communicate and plan with. She took great care of Sampson, and even went above and beyond when he was dealing with some allergies while she watched him. I would recommend Theresa to anyone and we will absolutely be booking her again!”
