“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”

“Noemi and her family were a perfect fit. They were thoughtful, caring and I'm pretty sure our Ella would have moved in. Ella came back happy, healthy and I could tell she had a great time. Will book again next time. Thanks Noemi (and fam)!”

“Linda was an excellent sitter for our sometimes challenging dog. She kept him happy and entertained throughout the whole 5-day stay, including regular walks as well as visits to local off-leash areas and Sniffspots. She was also great with communication and sending photo and video updates. Eneldo already misses her and can't wait until we leave town again! We highly recommend Linda.”

“Veronica was great! Our dog Perla is 1 year old and very active and playful. She was kept busy with Veronicas two dogs for 12 days, which Perla seem to enjoy very much. Veronica is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She kept us informed with pictures and videos. We will definitely use Veronica again.”

“Hayleigh took good care of Enigma for 19 days. She’s very happy that she has playmates at Hayleighs and a yard to roam around. We’ll definitely be back at her place next time we need dog boarding.”

“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”

“Wrigley and Smash had a great week at Sandy's! We received photo updates throughout the week and the boys always looked happy and relaxed. They love Sandy and we love knowing that they are being so well cared for!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”

“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Amanda and Jaime. Amanda was very communicative and friendly. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was clear my dog was very well cared for. They were also extremely helpful with accommodating a last minute request! I will certainly continue boarding with them in the future.”

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our dog, Bingo. It was Bingo’s first boarding experience, so we were a little nervous, but they helped to ease our worry by doing a meet and greet first and then providing daily communication with updates and photos while we were gone. Bingo had a blast playing with Minty and Loki. We would definitely book with Keelan again!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Breann did a great job. My dog has some sensitivities, but Breann ensured she was comfortable and safe. She asked good questions during our meet and greet, which demonstrated critical thought toward safety and adjusting her effort to each dog. Breann has other dogs, both of whom had different tolerances for play than my higher energy, large hound. She managed them together well. She provided us with frequent photo updates, and would have been available if we needed anything. I recommend booking with her.”

“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!”

“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”

“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!”


“So caring and understanding with Luci's anxiety. Seems they had a ton of fun and she made a couple awesome friends. 5/5 will book Jamie again!”

“I highly recommend Gayle! She was so accommodating with my dog who stayed at her house for 6 days. I appreciated that she sent daily photos with detailed updates. My dog always looked happy and I can tell he loved his daily walks. He got along with their dogs as well. It was great to see him look so comfortable and happy. They have a big backyard perfect for dogs to run around and nice covered patio too. I especially loved seeing him cuddling with them on the couch. I will definitely book my dog with Gayle again.”

“Anastasia is an amazing fur baby sitter. She sent us videos and adorable pictures of Kobe during is stay. We were rest assured Kobe was safe and in the right place. Anastasia’s place will always be Kobe’s home away from Home..thank you!!”

“Raven was a great choice for our cat sitting needs! She is friendly and kind, prompt with messaging and sent photos while we were away – exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter.”


“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.”


“Adrianna is so sweet to our kitties and takes the time to bring new toys and get to know each of their personalities. We know they’re in good hands!”


“Gera did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Jones. I trusted her completely, so my mind was at ease the entire time away from home. She sent lots of pictures and notes every time she visited. She did extra help by watering my flowers, feeding the birds and putting out our garbage. She even bought my cat a new toy which was so nice. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Jenelle was absolutely amazing with my 19 year old kitty. She requires daily meds and Jenelle handle that very well. I loved all the pictures and the check ins. Janelle was also flexible with her schedule when I wanted to add an extra hour for more snuggle time for my elderly kitty. I would highly recommend Jenelle and would not hesitate to book her again this Summer!”


“Thorough, conscientious, and caring--Angela took the time to get to know my cats' schedules and particular needs, kept me updated on each visit, responded quickly to my messages, and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I felt reassured and secure that the cats and house were in good hands! Thank you so much for taking care of my cat family over the holiday.”


“Amazing sitter, great communication, attentive and took notes and remembered everything! Kitties loved Joss right away, they warmed up much faster than prior sitters. Took plenty of adorable photos and videos that made me feel better being away. Highly recommend.”

“Madi was awesome with my cat! She sent updates and pictures often which is very much appreciated. Would definitely have Madi watch my cat again when I’m out of town next time :)”

“Lauren was a fantastic cater giver for our two cats. She sent daily updates and was very communicative. We knew our kitties were well taken care of while we were away.”


“Mary was very chill and knowledgeable and went above and beyond cleaning up messes, refilling the litter box with litter from her own house because we were gone, and even making an extra stop at our house when we left earlier than expected!”


“ChristyLynn, did a great job! She always sent me updates and pictures with each visit. Felt relt really secure with her in taking care of my cats during visits. Totally recommend her with cat care.”

“Simon was great with my two cats for a long series of drop-in visits over the holidays. I really appreciated the updates each visit, and they also made sure to keep my home safe while I was traveling by switching up which lights were on, etc”

“Raphael took excellent care of Cherry while I was out of town and was very flexible with last minute requests. Thank you so much for keeping her comfortable and happy!”


“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!”

“Margaret provides top- notch care for my pup! I bring my puppy to her for daycare while I'm at work, and I am so grateful to have chosen such a great place for her. Margaret is knowledgeable about dogs and provides focused care. Sloane is always very excited when we arrive, and spends the whole day playing with other dogs... she's also made best friends with Margaret's cat! It's truly been a great experience. I highly recommend Margaret and her care!”
“Allen was very responsive from the time I booked a meet & greet to when he took care of my dog, Kau Kau. He also was very patient with her since she does have some separation anxiety and I appreciated that very much. I definitely would recommend Allen as a doggy daycare option. Thanks.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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 💞”

“Great first-time experience. So appreciate Anastasia's calm and warm manner with my pup. It was great to know that she was in good hands while I was at work, staying cool and getting some social playtime too! Thank you!”

“Hayleigh was great! I absolutely loved that she had other dogs in her home, so my two dogs had a bunch of new friends to play with. When I picked them up, I could tell they had a very fun and playful day. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Jamie had a wonderful time! Linda is great to work with, flexible and accommodating. I ran late to pick him up due to traffic and she was able to work it out. Jamie would definitely be happy going to see her again. And we will rebook thanks.”

About: I moved to Portland in 2004. My only requirement was that we live next to a dog park so that I could have a dog. My first dog a was a great Dane pitbull mix named Virgil. We got him out of shelter in Tacoma Washington. Then came Lucy, she was a Rottweiler that got dumped on the streets of Portland. At the time we still had two cats, Jack and Ernie. Then my father-in-law came to live with us with his yellow lab named Sabrina. Boy was it a houseful! We all learned together how to coexist. I was so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful pets. It was trying for sure, but we managed. As the years went by eventually we lost all of them. In 2014 I adopted Thelma a boxer mix who became my everything. I lost Thelma in November and I cannot bring myself to adopt again for a while, yet there is something missing. I need to be around animals. My partner and I have taken care of every type of dogs from the easy to the most difficult. We have taken care of puppies and seniors. Dogs that were needy and the highly independent ones. Right now, my partner and I are working opposite schedules. There will always be someone in the house. My availability is open to any schedule. I have a fenced backyard. My house is very dog friendly. It is all one floor. The whole house is open for pets. I can crate if preferred, but not necessary
“Very impressed with the genuine care and communication from Zo. My dog Bodhi can be rather anxious, so I was rather worried about how he would do meeting Zo for the first time. I had visions of him pacing around and barking. Instead I received pictures of him totally chilled out, relaxing and napping in the sunshine Highly recommend.”

“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”
“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!”

“I can’t recommend Kyle enough for dog boarding! It’s clear he’s enthusiastic about dogs. He sent photo updates throughout and gave great feedback about our dog during her stay. Would definitely board our dog with Kyle again!”

“Jackie was an absolute gem to our doxie Lilah. She had all the tricks and treats on hand to make Lilah feel safe and comfortable. Her large fenced in backyard allowed Lilah to let out her zoomies! we would recommend Jackie to anyone.”

“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”

“Mark agreed to care for my dog on short notice which I really appreciate. He was extremely communicative and was aware of my dog’s anxiety issues. Since I was booking from out of town, we never had a chance for a meet and greet, so my dog was pretty wary at the beginning. But Mark allowed him to move at his own pace and his dogs were very welcoming. Mark let me know how he was doing right away and sent me a lovely video. Mark was also very flexible with the pickup time. My dog did really well there. We can definitely recommend Mark!”

About: I've had dogs and cats for 9 years as well as taken care of friends pets for about 5 years as well. I enjoy going on runs and being active, so if your pup need some extra energy expended I'd be happy to run with them! My schedule is very open at the moment, so I can drop by or walk anytime most days. As early as 9am and until 9pm. I have a fenced backyard with a covered porch with water buckets for outside hydration. I have two dogs at home as well, so I can accommodate other friendly dogs at my home.
“Kai is wonderful and picks up on all my fur babies traits without me even mentioning anything. Which shows me that they are being ever so present with her, and I adore that.”

“Kira is awesome! She is kind, communicates in a timely manner, and is great with our pup. We appreciated the photos of Caly, and the screenshot of her walking route. Looking forward to using her services!”


“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.”

About: Hello! I'm a very conscientious and loving pet walker/drop-in sitter who will go above and beyond to make sure your four-legged family member feels safe and loved. I've had dogs and cats my whole life (varying sizes/breeds), and have had a range of experiences with them, including handling medical conditions, training, and making sure they get enough exercise. I also used to work at a pet retail store for multiple years and have gained a wealth of experience in how best to care for pets. I would love to help give your pet some love and care while you're away! I'm happy to give couch cuddles, play time, walks, and basic needs. I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them great care! I have a flexible remote work schedule most days, so my availability for sitting visits is pretty open! I am available for drop-in visits and walks. When visiting a pet in your home, I am very respectful of your space and focus on making sure your pet is taken care of. I check all food and water bowls, making sure they’re clean, making sure the environment is still safe how you left it, and giving them any needed enrichment like play time, cuddles, walks, etc that you’ve outlined.
“Lauren has walked my dogs for a week and done a great job. She has followed through with all the directions (especially all of the safety concerns- key back where it’s supposed to go and the gate latched on the fence). My dogs seemed very happy with Lauren, and she is very good about communicating.”

“Acacia always does a great job of picking up my dog and taking her on walks. I always come home to a very happy pup. Acacia is very dependable and clearly loves dogs. I will certainly have her come walk my dog again in the future.”

About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!
“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!”

About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
About: Helping Pets Feel Safe, Seen & Understood Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by everything from chickens and horses to dogs, cats, birds, and even rescued squirrels. Today I share my home with my charismatic black cat, Pippa, and caring for animals continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of my life. My approach is calm, observant, and deeply respectful of each animal's individual personality. Some pets want endless play, some need patience before they'll trust you, and others simply appreciate a quiet companion who understands their routine. Over time I've discovered that one of my greatest strengths is noticing the little things.. changes in behavior, energy, appetite, comfort, or mood that others might overlook. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and adapting my care to what helps them feel safest and happiest. Whether your companion is young and energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, my goal is always the same: to help them feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you're away. You'll receive thoughtful updates, photos, and open communication throughout every visit so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting both you and your animal companion. 🐾 *Additional services* Over the years, I've developed experience as an animal communicator alongside my work caring for animals. While every visit above includes attentive, compassionate care and careful observation, some families are looking for a deeper level of support and connection with their companion. For those interested, I offer the following optional extended services, designed to complement—not replace—excellent veterinary care and your pet's regular routine. ✨ Animal Communication Session (+$20) Includes an additional 30 minutes solo with your pet (or with both you and your pet if you're home) beyond the scheduled visit. Following our session, you'll receive a detailed email or voice note sharing the observations, impressions, and intuitive insights I experienced during our time together. Many clients enjoy these sessions as a way to better understand their companion's unique personality, preferences, and emotional world. 🌿 End-of-Life Companion Support (+$25) Includes an additional 30-minute consultation with you and your pet alongside your scheduled drop-in visit. This service is designed to offer compassionate support during one of the most difficult chapters of loving an animal. Together we can discuss quality-of-life observations, your pet's changing needs, and any intuitive insights that may help bring greater clarity or peace during the process. While I am not a veterinarian and do not provide medical advice, I am honored to support you and your companion alongside your veterinary team's recommendations. If you're curious about either of these offerings or would like to know whether they're a good fit for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to answer questions and chat about what would best support you and your animal companion💕 My Current Schedule: I typically work 9a-5p Saturday-Tuesdays, with availability before or after those hours and open anytime Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. There's some flexibility with this schedule too so if there are needs outside what is listed please reach out and we can see if other hours would work too! What to Expect During Our Meet & Greet: My goal is to help your animal companion feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you're away. During our meet & greet, I'll take time to get to know both you and your pet. We'll go over their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys and activities, medications (if applicable), and any unique quirks or preferences that help them feel happy and secure. I pay close attention to each pet's individual personality and adapt my care accordingly, always meeting them where they are rather than expecting them to adjust to me. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions, share any concerns, and help me learn how I can provide the very best care for your companion.

“Abigail has been amazing with my Toy Poodle. She’s not only reliable and communicative, but also incredibly intuitive—she picks up on subtle body language and adjusts accordingly, which is so important with a sensitive dog. Beyoncé warmed up to her quickly and clearly enjoys their time together. I really appreciate the care, thoughtfulness, and detailed updates after each walk. Highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and professional dog caretaker!”


About: I have been around animals and have owned dogs my whole life. My grandmother owns a rescue center for dogs in California and I have grown up helping and working to rehome, train, and assist in the betterment of houseless pups. Not to mention, my mother is also a professional dog sitter and has been for many many years as her primary income. I am a dog owner of my entire adult life, we are a dog family - I have raised puppies and have rescued all sorts of beautiful fur babies. I have a fenced and gated/locked yard where there is no available access in and out other than from myself who has the keys. I also have baby gates and crates for crate training needs and for fur babies who require a safe zone to retreat to if needing comfort with lots of blankets.
About: If you're looking for a petsitter that is communicative, responsive, patient, consistent, and experienced, you're at the right place! I have taken care of cats and dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and ages! I care about your pets and ensure that I offer the best service that I can. Before and after walks, I always make sure that your pets are hydrated. In my Rover cards, I provide detailed descriptions of my visit/stay with your pets! If you're working on training your pets, I'll update you on improvements and behavior. Rest assured, I've got you covered. I'm currently working part-time as I am also a remote designer. I aim to conduct visits/walks during the day with preference of weekdays - however, I can be flexible when need be! I always have a checklist for my visits to ensure that I've got all grounds covered especially if I am working with multiple pets in a visit. For multiple occasions, I've had to take care of 3 dogs/cats for a visit with different dietary plans and needs.

About: I moved to Portland in 2004. My only requirement was that we live next to a dog park so that I could have a dog. My first dog a was a great Dane pitbull mix named Virgil. We got him out of shelter in Tacoma Washington. Then came Lucy, she was a Rottweiler that got dumped on the streets of Portland. At the time we still had two cats, Jack and Ernie. Then my father-in-law came to live with us with his yellow lab named Sabrina. Boy was it a houseful! We all learned together how to coexist. I was so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful pets. It was trying for sure, but we managed. As the years went by eventually we lost all of them. In 2014 I adopted Thelma a boxer mix who became my everything. I lost Thelma in November and I cannot bring myself to adopt again for a while, yet there is something missing. I need to be around animals. My partner and I have taken care of every type of dogs from the easy to the most difficult. We have taken care of puppies and seniors. Dogs that were needy and the highly independent ones. Right now, my partner and I are working opposite schedules. There will always be someone in the house. My availability is open to any schedule. I have a fenced backyard. My house is very dog friendly. It is all one floor. The whole house is open for pets. I can crate if preferred, but not necessary
“Erin took such great care of Theo and gave us frequent photo updates on our little guy. He got along and I'm pretty sure made great friends with their dog as well. Overall really wonderful experience and would trust Erin to care for Theo again!”

“Abby was awesome! She has another dog and my puppy LOVED playing. She sent me photos and videos of the dogs playing together and kept me super updated. It was my first time leaving my new puppy and she made it so much easier! Will definitely be using her again.”

“Leslie treated our senior dog as if she were hers. She provided periodic updates and went the extra mile when our dog Callie had an additional need. We highly recommend Leslie and now Callie has a new BFF in Leslie’s Lab Lilly!”

“Kyle did a great job and our dogs just loved him. They seemed like they had such a good time! He followed instructions and was careful with my anxious dog and my dog who is perpetually a runner and will slip out the door with anyone! Appreciate your hard work Kyle!”
