“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“Peter and his family have been amazing sitters for our young pup. She loves hanging out with their dogs and their yard is a huge plus for our energetic girl. She's well taken care of and we trust that they treat her as a part of their family when she's there.”
“We were really nervous about our first boarding experience with our new puppy but Chris took such good care of her, it put our nerves to rest. She looked like she had such a good time in all of the photos he provided. Definitely recommend.”
“We needed to board Thomas, our 10 year old cat, a first, while we moved. I found Susie through Rover. I liked the idea of leaving him in a home. Susie was welcoming and understood what we shared about Thomas. She kept in touch with us during the 3 days and 2 nights he stayed with her.. Her daughter, Willow, spent quality time with our shy kittie & was able to encourage him to emerge from his hiding place. Overall, we would happily use Susie again. We thought Thomas was very, very well cared for.”
“Jamie was all-around great! Kind and friendly to us, and perfectly kind, calm, and thorough with our doggo. If you have an anxious, or elderly, or high-needs pet, Jamie is the perfect sitter. Next time Stewart needs a relaxing weekend, we know where to go!”
“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.”
“Our dog has stayed with Abe twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful. She always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Abe truly knows dogs — his meet and greet was the most thorough we’ve ever had, which immediately gave us confidence that she’d be in great hands. During her stays, he sends photo updates that show she’s comfortable and having a good time. We really appreciate the care and attention he puts into every detail. Highly recommend!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Jason is a natural when it comes to caring for dogs. Sheldon warmed up to him instantly and his communication was spot on as he was kind, thorough, and thoughtful with his responses and updates along with plenty of pictures to keep me involved with his care. Gus & Star are very sweet as well and Sheldon left with new friends. Hoomans & doggos alike! Jason is flexible as well and simply made the whole process so easy I would highly recommend him to care for your pupper! Many thanks Jason 😊”
“Dottie's a pro. Her thoughtfully planned indoor and outdoor spaces are very pet friendly, and provide dogs with a comfy variety of safe spaces. Petey (my dog) and I stopped by for an initial visit - to ensure compatibility and fit. Drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I felt very confident in the quality and level of care Petey received during my absence. I highly recommend Dottie's services.”
“Kathy took such an amazing care of Nella. So grateful. She sent several updates/pics/vids everyday throughout Nella's stay, which really reassured me that Nella was in great hands. I was able to fully relax during our time away knowing our pup was getting all the care, attention, and exercise she needed/wanted. Really hoping Nella gets another opportunity to stay with Kathy. Thanks again so much!”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jungé had a great time with Jake and Zoey (his pup). Zoey is a very friendly pup and I'm sure Jungé had fun playing with her. Jungé also got a good amount of exercise and good care. I'll definitely use Jake again in the future.”
“Amy and family took great care of Ahsoka! We received lots of pictures and videos while we were away, along with updates and comments about how great she was doing, which really helped our peace of mind.”
“Jean was awesome putting our minds at ease leaving our 2 babies for the first time ever. She sent us pictures and let us know how they were doing while we were missing them terribly! She’s a warm loving person and we’ll definitely want to use her again!”
“Angelica took excellent care of my dog! He came home exhausted from playing with the other dogs in her beautiful backyard. Would definitely recommend her to a friend :)”

“Lucinda did a great job stepping in at the last minute when I was out-of-town, and my cat became ill. She came by twice a day to give my cat eyedrops, which is not always an easy thing to do! She was punctual, and had very good. communication. Recommended.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I previously worked in the medical field as a Medical Assistant in Urgent Care and Dermatology. I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I love all dogs, but my heart is fond for rescues. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds - various ages, abilities, and sizes. I grew up with labs who have lots of energy, but I love a pup who enjoys to snuggle and receive back rubs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog with compassion and prioritize their comfort, routine, and happiness. ✨ Serving the SW Portland area- located in Multnomah Village but I’m willing to travel ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Reliable & attentive care I’m looking forward to meeting your adorable pups! I’m currently pet sitting full time, so I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs day or night. I’m even available on short notice. I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits. I am willing to work with your schedule 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand your dog’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs to ensure consistency while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean and organized, and follow all instructions carefully. I’m attentive on walks, aware of surroundings, and always prioritize safe handling. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified.
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
“Andi was a wonderful pet sitter for our senior kitty, Itsy while we were away for a week during the holidays. Itsy is a very affectionate kitty who gets a bit lonely when she's home alone and we appreciated all the love and attention Andi gave in our absence. Andi was a great communicator and was even considerate about bringing in the mail and the couple packages that showed up. Thankful for Andi's help this Christmas and will definitely be reaching out again next time we're planning a trip!”
“Kathy did a fantastic job watching our cat, Lilly. She gave descriptive check-in notes which were very comforting while we were away. Lilly normally gets quite lonely while we are gone and she seemed very content when we returned!”
“Kelsey did an amazing job with my dog! I was out of town for 5 days and needed a sitter to come let my dog Belle out a couple times each day. Kelsey stayed in great communication throughout the whole time and Belle LOVED her! Kelsey did everything that was needed plus she even tidied up each visit! I will definitely be using Kelsey again the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve had my own dogs over the last 10 years. I am a mom to two human kiddos and one golden retriever, Suzi. I’m happy to walk, check in and play, and care for your pets!

I care for all animals and with love and appreciation. If there are specific instructions to follow I’m happy to do that. Safety is of the utmost importance to me.

“I am so grateful to have found Damon to care for my girl Fiona. She is almost 14, blind, and diabetic, so I was nervous when my schedule changed and I was needing to find a daycare solution for her. I feel so comfortable dropping her off with him. I know that she will be well taken care of and he will quickly communicate any concerns.”
“Peter is kind, has a lovely home and welcomed Max with open arms. Sounds like my pup has a great day with Peter and his family. Peter was also super flexible when I needed to make some timing changes based on my daughter’s unpredictable basketball tournament schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Asher loves going to daycare at Savannah’s! I totally trust her and know he’s well cared for and having so much fun when I’m working or out of town. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Tommy was a great sitter for our puppy pitbull, Mamba! He made sure the environment was right for a puppy, and took extra measures to ensure she had a great first day care experience. He lives and breathes the dog caretaker life, so if you want someone who will pay attention to your dog’s needs and truly care for them, Tommy is your guy!”
“My big girls favorite family! Her tail almost falls off when she knows she gets to come over! We appreciate the love and care you give her ♥️♥️♥️”
“Kris is a gracious caregiver who accommodates all of our particular needs. He has the perfect set-up for our challenging pup who doesn't take to unknown people but loves playing with other dogs more than anything. We will be booking again!”
“Took my 3 year old female GSD to Allen’s for daycare and had a good first time experience. Got to meet the other dogs and see her interact with them. Lots of photos and videos throughout the day, which really helps you feel at ease for a first time drop off. Good to know the dogs are running around getting their exercise. We plan to continue using Allen’s services.”
“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!”
“We are so lucky to have found Abdallah to take care of our husky, Kira. You can tell he genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the dogs he watches and Kira is always so incredibly happy when we drop her off. I would absolutely recommend him!”
“Susie is wonderful, Buddy seems so happy and relaxed when we pick him up— Susie is very experienced and her home is calm and perfectly set up for dog sitting. We’ll use her over and over, for sure!”
“Very communicative, compassionate and a beautiful space where my pup Bettie felt safe and had fun with other dogs. Highly recommend and will be using them for more sitting for my pup 🐶!”
“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 💞”
“Jennifer was great to work with. She is communicative and excited about dogs. My boy came home happy healthy and tired. Jennifer is very accommodating and provides excellent customer service. I will book with her again in the future.”

“Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“I don't have enough good things to say about Colby!! He walks my dog for me and just goes above and beyond for her. I've never used a dog walker before and was nervous to try it out and Colby just made the whole process so smooth and reassuring for me. He has excellent communication and sends cute photo updates. It's everything to me to know my baby is in good hands!”
“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”
About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.
“Annalei is so wonderful! She is great at communicating and does a wonderful job to help to keep our dog safe, happy and reassuring us while we are away. We are so happy to have found her, she is such a good match for our dog. Thanks Annalei for being such a great dog walker!”
“Helped me out in a last minute request! My pup was so settled after his walks, I knew they had a good time and quality exercise. Also got to meet her dog, very gentle and sweet. 10/10”
About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animal care. I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, caring for breeds of all sizes; from small companions to large, high-energy dogs. I also grew up on a farm, where I was surrounded by and responsible for a wide variety of animals, that gave me a strong understanding of different temperaments and needs. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also have hands on experience working in veterinary clinics, including administering medications and supporting animals with different health needs. Above all, I truly love what I do. You can count on me to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so weekends will typically be my only availability. Sundays are my preferred days, but if you need me during Saturdays just message me and I can make it work! I always treat other peoples homes with respect! I understand how scary it can be for pets to meet new people, so when caring for them in someone else’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise and meet their needs. I keep your home clean and tidy, and happy to provide photos and regular updates!
“We absolutely adore Victoria. She is great with our boys and goes above and beyond expectations. From bringing packages in, to playing with our dogs when it's too hot for a walk. Thanks V 🤙🏾”
“Ryan came to the rescue at the last minute for us! Our dog was happy, and so was our carpet, when we got home super-late at night. Thank you, Ryan, for such great communication and follow-through. Highly recommend!”
“Andi has been amazing! Highly recommend. She is an excellent communicator, reliable, responsible, patient and loving with my little 5 month old shih tzu bulldog mix. I really appreciate Andi's willingness to talk this over, see how things fit and adjust from there. Thank you, Andi!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 10 and begged my parents for him. I adore all dogs and will treat yours like my own. I love being active and playing with dogs. This past year I’ve volunteered to walk dogs at the local shelter too. I am a student athlete in college, so responsibility and care is something I understand very well. I am a hard worker and will communicate every step of the way. I am a college student with a very flexible schedule and I am also starting summer break soon. I have plenty of time to care for pups and give them the love they deserve! I have lots of experience dog sitting in client’s homes and will treat your home like it is my own. I always make sure to clean and lock up after, so you can feel confident that your home is safe. I will follow all instructions given to care for the pups and communicate well if any questions or issues come up.
About: I have owned and cared for many animals over the years. I have extensive experience and I am dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved and happy under my care. I am free all day, everyday. I am a university student home from studying animal sciences and would love to get some quality visits in! I don’t offer care at my own home but I am happy to stay or do drop ins at your house. I will ensure your fur baby gets quality cuddles and play time, properly fed, taken on walks as needed and endless love!
“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”
“Katharine has walked Meatball several times now and we love her! She’s always on time, communicated honestly and directly, and is great with Meatball. Thanks Katharine.”
“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”
