“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen and the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Luna. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and professional—always quick to reply to messages and happy to answer any questions. While we were away, Kristen sent daily updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands made all the difference. We will absolutely ask Kristen to watch Luna again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was great with my 3 dogs who have never been boarded at someone else’s house and two of them were a little nervous. They came around in no time, had the choice of sleeping with her if they wanted to, lots of room to play, and got along great with her dogs. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“KC’s home was tidy and she had a fenced yard. She sent daily updates and a photo on how our dog was doing. She was kind and genuinely enjoyed time with our dog. I will use her doggy sitting services again. Thanks KC for making us feel at ease while we were away 🤗”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Coconut was comfortable very quickly, which was a relief. Emily also sent us immediate feedback so we could start our vacation worry-free. We got lots and lots of pictures - so fun to see Coconut zooming around the yard or crashed out on Bowie's bed. Also- I made a mistake on the booking dates, paying for one extra night, and Emily caught the mistake and fixed it immediately. This was my best experience with Rover yet. If she's available, I wouldn't use anyone else!”
“The absolute best Rover sitter experience ever! Angela stopped by prior to confirming the booking to meet with us and our pups. When it was dog sitting time, she picked up our pups in her car and her back seat had a dog bed type item that provided both safety and comfort. We received regular updates throughout our trip inclusive of both photos and videos! She gave our pups regular walks, individualized for their needs: a slow walk for our senior dog and a more training-focused walk for or two-year old dog who has serious focus issues, but he's so much better now!!!! On a personal level, Angela is a very pleasant person: elegant, calm demeanor, attentive to details, communicative, caring, and definitely a doggie lover. Needless to say, we look forward to becoming repeat clients :)”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“Jared’s experience being a vet tech really shows. He’s communicated daily throughout the stay, and our puppy (who’s usually destructive) was calm and entertained the entire time. Looking forward to the next stay with him”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Danielle made it so easy to make a last minute beach trip happen, and was so communicative and easy going the whole way. Amazing yard space that my dog just loved!!”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Gary and Carol. Our pup fit in with their household right away, it's so nice knowing she was in great hands while we were away. Drop off and pick up were a breeze, and we appreciated the photo updates! Ideal stay!”

“Not sure I can say enough positive about how well Amanda took care of my pups. First time having her do drop in visits and she was outstanding, caring and attentive to them even taking them on a short walk during outside time. Highly recommended!”
About: When had two cats when I was 8 and I was in charge of feeding and grooming them. Then we got two kittens when I was 12 years old so I have experience with kittens as well and currently have one cat.
“Jackie was perfect! Her communication, promptness, and attention to detail couldn't have been better. Our critters were in great hands and we really appreciated the way she took care of them. We'll definitely request Jackie's help again when we're out of town.”
About: Cats are my personal favorite! I have had a Russian blue, a black cat and, currently, a tuxedo cat. I really enjoy connecting with cats, earning their trust and building a relationship with them. I love to spend time with cats, whether it's kitty snuggles or just being in the same room, I cherish every second I get to spend with my cat buddies.
“Kaitlin was so helpful and communicative, it was great having her care for my elderly cat. She helped me out with a last minute change, and was very easy to work with.”
“Angela was absolutely AMAZING, I cannot stress enough. She really cared for my cat like she was her own. She went above and beyond to make sure my Pippa was warm, cared for and checked in on, litter clean, etc. She set up one of her own cameras for me to be able to check in while I was gone, which was so nice! We stayed in constant communication, she was so friendly and I just really appreciate everything she did for my cat and I. Thanks again, Angela!”
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
“Renata was a top quality house and pet sitter. She was communicative, leaving frequent updates. She was *very* tidy, leaving the house for us as clean as we left it for her. We were also delayed getting home and she offered to stay an extra while so our cat wouldn't be alone as long as she otherwise would have. We definitely plan to reach out to her for future excursions. 5 stars all around!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and dogs & got my first taste of hands-on pet care when I got my sweet pup for my 8th birthday. Fast forward, I now have the privilege of loving that same dog’s two puppies (who are now 10 years old). I work from home and walk my girls every 2-3 hours. I can exercise high energy dogs or make walks shorter and easier for senior pups. I’m very affectionate and love cuddly pups and kitties. I’m happy to tailor care to your animal’s needs & love them like my own! I’m also comfortable administering medications. I work from home full time so pet care is easy and flexible for me. I walk my girls every 2-3 hours and will be happy to do the same for your pup. Whenever I do leave, I try not to be gone for more than 4 hours to ensure no one is left alone for too long. I live in a two bedroom townhouse with a small front yard for quick potty breaks. The neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. My two dogs are 10 year old chihuahuas and are very relaxed, friendly, and lazy (they love to sleep all day). While caring for your baby, I can provide separation if needed or preferred, or if it’s comfortable for you, everyone can happily co-exist. I also have a small crate available if needed at any time. I work from home and am home with my pets all day. I also have a living room camera to check on the babies whenever we are out of the house. I can use the two-way audio & microphone to talk to them with this. :)
About: I adopted my first cat over 2 years ago, miss 14 year old Kiwi, and have lived with cats since 2020. If I can make my stubborn and sassy senior kitty feel loved, I bet I can do the same for yours :)
About: I have been a cat owner since I was seven years old. There hasn't been a time in my life when I didn't own a cat. My own home is a multi-cat household which gives me a lot of experience with cats of different temperaments. I have a lot of patience for even the most skittish of cats. I have a lot of kitten experience too. I always have wanted to spend my days hanging out with all different kinds of cats and I can't wait to meet yours.

“My dogs and I love Anastasia! One of my dogs has been going to Anastasia for months. My other dog is a nervous guy and likes his alone time, so we usually leave him at home. But we decided to take him on a trial run to spend a day with Anastasia, and he made a new best friend!”
“Angela seems very professional and trust worthy. Argos has enjoyed his time with her and we will be using her again. Thanks for helping to care for the favorite mammal in the household!”
“My dogs had a great day trip to Portland and stayed with Mark. He was very nice to work with. Quick response time too! Thanks so much for taking good care of Vladimir and Arthur!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jared is exceptional. Jared took wonderful care of my two dogs, Sebastian and Francesca, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we connected, his communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. He was attentive to their needs, patient, and genuinely kind, exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your fur babies. Sebastian and Francesca were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I picked them up, which speaks volumes. It’s obvious Jared takes his role seriously and treats animals with real respect and care, not just as a job but as a responsibility. I would absolutely trust him again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, top-tier pet care. Thank you, Jared🌹you truly went above and beyond.”
“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!”
“Upon initial meet and greet, Margaret was very organized and caring making sure to understand all of Romans needs, allergies, and activity levels. He ran a ton to get his energy out so knocked out right when we got home. Margaret creates a great space for daycare for small to mid-sized doggos.”
“Genevieve went above and beyond for me and my dog today. It was a last minute request for a new dog to spend the day with her and because I wouldn't be able to drive in the evening she dropped him off for me. So unbelievably helpful. I got pictures of him having way too much fun and I could tell when she was leaving how much he liked her. Knowing he was being so taken care of today made things so much easier. Thank you”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
“Jenny was very prompt with communication and provided lots of information. She took great care of my 100 lb husky mix. She kept me updated on my dog’s activities. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Megan and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 7, and ever since then, dogs and cats have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, my family always had 1–2 dogs in the house, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Now, I share my home with a sweet dog and a cuddly cat, and I truly love giving them all the attention and care they need. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: - Lots of love, attention, and snuggles - Daily updates and cute photos - Clear, friendly communication - A safe, comfortable home where they’ll be treated like family I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pets, so I’ll always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I work from home, so I can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Every 3–4 hours, we take walks around the neighborhood, and in the evenings, when the weather is nice, we head to our neighborhood dog park for some extra playtime. For kitties, I make sure they get plenty of indoor adventures to keep them happy and entertained. I live in a gated neighborhood, and there’s a fenced dog park just downstairs from my apartment, so dogs can safely enjoy walks and playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a safe indoor space to explore, and all our windows have secure screens so there’s no worry about them sneaking out.
“Emma has been so patient and sweet with our anxious pup. Great, clear communication and we really loved and appreciated the photos and video updates. Can’t wait to board with them!”
About: I am a nurse, but I have always wanted to work with dogs, and I see this Pet Care opportunity as a chance to fulfill my childhood dream. I'm thrilled with this pet care opportunity because of my deep love for animals. I believe my nursing experience will be valuable, as caring for patients has taught me compassion and attention to detail, which I hope to bring to the pets in your care. I would love to contribute to your team and learn from your experiences in pet care. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting and sharing our mutual enthusiasm for animals. I am happy to adjust my schedule if needed to help out, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific times. Looking forward to your response. I live 10 minutes from Portland Airport. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I am committed to providing attentive, loving care that ensures their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to engage with animals in ways that help them feel secure and appreciated, including maintaining familiar routines. My home features a spacious, fenced yard where we enjoy daily walks and playing fetch. I have experience caring for my own pet, Macy and in my childhood other animals such as parrots, fishes, and even a monkey. One of my favorite moments with dogs is play fetch—seeing their excitement always reminds me just how rewarding caring for animals can be. I take my responsibilities seriously and am always eager to learn more about each pet’s unique personality and age. To help maintain a safe environment, I kindly ask that your dog be protected with Simparica or a similar product recommended by your preferred veterinarian, such as Frontier, which guards against ticks and fleas Please let me know if you have any specific concerns, preferences, or special requests. I am open to feedback and happy to adapt to your pet's unique needs and routines. I am available for a meeting any day this week to discuss your loved one’s requirements, and after our meeting I will tailor my care to your pet’s needs. Thank you again for entrusting me with this important responsibility. I look forward to meeting you and your pet, and to providing compassionate care that brings you peace of mind.

I have an English bulldog w anxiety/separation issues and a mix doodle who is shy and full of energy at the same time.

Thank you again Michael!!”
“First time getting a dog sitter and using Rover. Rosanna was very helpful and sent pics and updates throughout the day. She was flexible with drop off times and helpful with this new process. Daisy seemed to enjoy her day and was so tuckered out! Scheduling another day now and know there will be more in the future!”
“Awesome as always! Mikka gets excited every Tuesday to get her snuggles and playtime for the day. I live in the neighborhood and can’t walk within 2 blocks without her pulling towards their house. It’s definitely her happy place, so much so that we come to the private field/doggy oasis to play on other days too! She’s looking forward to her three night stay later this week too. Thank you, Allen!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid. With 20 years experience in animal care, I have a way with animals that makes them feel right at home. I’m Experienced in caring for both dogs and cats, I provide dependable, detail oriented pet sitting, tailored to each animal’s unique needs. My approach combines structure, affection, and reliability to ensure your pets stay relaxed, well cared for, and loved in your absence. I’ve watched pets for 3+ years as a stay at home parent and I’m excited to meet you and your pet. I’m currently a stay at home parent, so I’m here at the house all day. I have two children, 5 and a 3 1/2 year old. They love animals so much and are out of the house during the day for school. I do occasionally leave to go to the grocery store or appointments, but I’m never gone long my day consists of early morning wake ups to prepare for school days and later evenings tending to the house. As a full-time stay-at-home parent, my daily life allows me to give pets steady attention and care throughout the entire day. I intentionally structure my routine to include regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet rest, so pets feel comfortable and included. They’re not just checked in on—they’re part of a warm, attentive home where they receive consistent care, reassurance, and love. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, safe, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain their regular routines with consistent feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, quiet rest, or extra comfort, I make sure each pet feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. My goal is to continue the same routine that each pet has on a daily here in my home. I strive to basically be their home away from home.
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”

About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!

I’m an animal lover of all kinds even the “big scary mean ones”. I lead a very active lifestyle and would love to be able to share that with your furry friend whenever you’re not able too! I also love teaching and training. There’s no better feeling for myself than when I can connect with an animal and build a bond. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of available time to get outside and play with your furry friends.

I have yet to meet an animal that I haven't wanted to be friends with and I am very excited to spend time with your beloved pet. I currently work as a courier which means that I can fit pet care easily into my schedule. I am happy to fit pet needs into my schedule. Whatever your pet needs I am more than happy to help them with. I have my own car so I can take your pets to the park if that's something that they like. As long as their needs are laid out, I have no problem following instructions.
About: I have deep care for the animals we get to live with and I take this joyous role very seriously. I’ve been a dog mom myself and it would always bring me some anxiety to leave him with a new sitter. I’m here to answer any questions and meet your pup(s) to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies learning the ropes, to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m comfortable with specific care needs such as administering medications, following special feeding routines, and giving extra attention to pets with health concerns. I’m self-employed and split my time between working from home and from my office. My schedule is flexible most days, which means I can usually adjust my day to fit your dog’s needs — whether that’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. I make sure pets aren’t left waiting too long and always work around their normal routines so they stay comfortable and happy. I take care of pets right in their own homes, where everything smells familiar and feels safe. I’ve found that staying in their own space helps them relax so much more while you’re away. I really try to keep things feeling “normal” for them — same routines, same little habits, same comforts. I’ll follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels as similar as possible to having you home. I pay attention when we go on walks — checking leashes, making sure doors and gates are secure, and watching for anything that might make your pup uncomfortable. I’m more than happy to slow down if your pet needs a little extra care. Whether that’s meds, quiet time, or lots of cuddles, I meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience and love. I treat your home with care and respect, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax, knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and so well loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and dogs & got my first taste of hands-on pet care when I got my sweet pup for my 8th birthday. Fast forward, I now have the privilege of loving that same dog’s two puppies (who are now 10 years old). I work from home and walk my girls every 2-3 hours. I can exercise high energy dogs or make walks shorter and easier for senior pups. I’m very affectionate and love cuddly pups and kitties. I’m happy to tailor care to your animal’s needs & love them like my own! I’m also comfortable administering medications. I work from home full time so pet care is easy and flexible for me. I walk my girls every 2-3 hours and will be happy to do the same for your pup. Whenever I do leave, I try not to be gone for more than 4 hours to ensure no one is left alone for too long. I live in a two bedroom townhouse with a small front yard for quick potty breaks. The neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. My two dogs are 10 year old chihuahuas and are very relaxed, friendly, and lazy (they love to sleep all day). While caring for your baby, I can provide separation if needed or preferred, or if it’s comfortable for you, everyone can happily co-exist. I also have a small crate available if needed at any time. I work from home and am home with my pets all day. I also have a living room camera to check on the babies whenever we are out of the house. I can use the two-way audio & microphone to talk to them with this. :)
About: I adopted my dog 8 years ago and have had so much fun teaching him and enriching his world! This includes lots of hikes or walks in new places, camping, treat puzzles and, of course, lots of quality time! I would love to help you provide the same for your pet, whether that is while you are out of town or while at work! I currently have a full time job working 4 days a weeks so I looking to help out Sundays, Mondays or Tuesdays! My schedule is flexible within those 3 days! I understand that each home has a different routine and can't wait to learn yours and help make your pet as comfortable as possible! Whether that is supervised time outside, walks or a trip to a park!
About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs and have2 cats of my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and reliable. I love animals. I’m very patient loving and caring. I can walk, feed, play and give lots of love and affection. I’ve had dogs growing up and have had experience with pet sitting and walking. I’ve always had cats. I get a long very well with animals. I just need to know ahead of time of their needs. I have had asthma so I use an inhaler and can’t run but I can still walk them and make sure they get exercise. I don’t drive or have a car but I can take the bus or take an Uber or Lyft. I am disabled but still have lots of capability and time to spend time with dog or cats. I’m very flexible and reliable I make sure there’s lots of play time and opportunities to go outside to go on a walk or go to the bathroom.

I am a student but that’s part time so I still have plenty of time to spend with the pets I have an apartment with a small yard. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with pets staying in my home. They’re aloud on furniture or wherever they’re comfortable. In others’ home, I would care for the pets just as I would in my home unless instructed to do otherwise. Feed, play, cuddle, walk.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole — a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog mom to my sweet 10 year-old Australian Shepherd, Gunnar. We provide a calm, loving, home-based alternative to crowded boarding kennels, with lots of attention, outdoor time, and personalized care for your furry family member. We live near beautiful hiking trails, parks, and open space, so your pup will get plenty of walks, playtime, fresh air, and affection. Gunnar is incredibly friendly, gentle, and gets along wonderfully with other animals. Because of his easygoing nature, I do ask that dogs staying with us are non-aggressive and well-socialized. I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, dietary needs, and individual personalities — I understand every dog is different and deserves thoughtful care. Whether you need help during a busy work week, a last-minute business trip, or an upcoming vacation, I’d love to help make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and strive to create a warm, relaxed environment where they can feel right at home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m home all day. I have a big vehicle and am dedicated to getting outside! We will have lots of fun around here! Not to worry! I have a fenced grassy yard and right by a big park. I like to do at least 3 walks per day and am fine with doggies sleeping with me if they want or need!
About: I provide a safe, steady, and highly attentive environment for every animal I care for. I’m reliable, present, and deeply tuned into each pet’s needs and behavior. Your home and your animal will be treated with respect, care, and consistency. I’ve had dogs and cats in my life consistently since I was 11 years old and have cared for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From high-energy dogs like border collies and cattle dogs to smaller breeds and mixed temperaments, I’m comfortable creating a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence. Over the years, I’ve also trained and guided many dogs into maturity, helping them develop good habits, confidence, and a sense of calm within their routine. My approach is patient, consistent, and grounded, always working with each dog’s natural personality rather than against it. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I bring a reliable, attentive presence to every I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now, and I maintain a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays, with additional availability on Saturdays. On Sundays, I offer limited availability in the early morning and late afternoon. I’m currently based in Molalla and can serve nearby areas as well. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and respond promptly to requests so we can find times that work well for both you and your pet. As I transition to the Milwaukie area, I’ll also be expanding my availability to include overnight pet sitting. I approach every home and animal with care, respect, and attention to detail. I provide a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence, always prioritizing your pet’s well-being and comfort. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each animal’s behavior, energy, and needs. Whether on walks or in the home, I stay aware of surroundings and make thoughtful decisions to keep your pet safe and secure. I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter and treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in reliable, grounded hands.
About: I have a great passion for animals. I have grown up around cats, dogs, horses, and cows. I am well-trained in taking exceptional care of animals and maintaining cleanliness as we go about our day! I would love to meet your fur babies❤️ Pet care is a daily occurrence for me. I am careful to make sure my own pets are well-fed, well exercised, and getting plenty of love! I'm happy to abide by any rules the owner gives me in their home or in my home. My apartment is too small to care for large dogs as I also have two cats; my only request is that is acommidable!

“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen and the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Luna. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and professional—always quick to reply to messages and happy to answer any questions. While we were away, Kristen sent daily updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands made all the difference. We will absolutely ask Kristen to watch Luna again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Coconut was comfortable very quickly, which was a relief. Emily also sent us immediate feedback so we could start our vacation worry-free. We got lots and lots of pictures - so fun to see Coconut zooming around the yard or crashed out on Bowie's bed. Also- I made a mistake on the booking dates, paying for one extra night, and Emily caught the mistake and fixed it immediately. This was my best experience with Rover yet. If she's available, I wouldn't use anyone else!”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“Danielle made it so easy to make a last minute beach trip happen, and was so communicative and easy going the whole way. Amazing yard space that my dog just loved!!”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Gary and Carol. Our pup fit in with their household right away, it's so nice knowing she was in great hands while we were away. Drop off and pick up were a breeze, and we appreciated the photo updates! Ideal stay!”
“Genevieve is a stellar sitter! We felt confident travelling, because we knew our pup was in good hands. Peace of mind is priceless. She is an excellent communicator and sent us photos often so our hearts were at ease. We truly appreciate her care and will book her again soon!”
“Dave is amazing! His calm and loving demeanor really helped our anxious Dorkie settle down right away. After our trip, Harley came back home a happy pup. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our little guy was being well loved and taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be using Dave to watch Harley in the future❤️”

“Karilla and James were great! They coordinated a handoff with another sitter for me, and made sure to meet Roux ahead of time to get to know her. Would send her back for sure!”
