“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!!”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“Jared took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog, Ace, during a four-night stay. From the beginning, he was friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our senior pup in his care. Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Jared genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Ace was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Jared again and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“We've had Zoey stay with Jennifer and her family several times and they are so great with her! Zoey fits right in, and even as she's getting older they are happy to help her with what she needs. Highly recommend.”
“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 had a great time with Emily and her dog Bowie! Emily provided lots of updates and pictures. He got lots of walks and was able to enjoy her fenced in yard. Olive and Bowie were 2 peas in a pod by the end 🩷. I definitely recommend booking with Emily, especially if you have a nervous dog that needs some extra love. Thank you for making Olives first night away so enjoyable for everyone! Kaitlin”
“Sandy took such great care of our mini schnauzer, Hugo! She made us feel immediately at ease when giving us a tour of her place, which is a perfect set-up for small dogs! Love that she only watches small dogs and that everything is secure (fence with dual gate system and keeping the dogs at home at all times). I so appreciated her updates and photos as well! We will definitely be reaching out to Sandy for all future needs for Hugo!”
“Larry is relaxed when he comes home. That says it all. Plus, Anastasia's vibes are the best. Thank you for taking such good care of my guy while I'm away!”
“Araceli, Breezy’s boarding care provider, was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and loving during my pup’s two-night stay at her place. She’s organized and mindful of space, creating a large yet contained backyard area. Breezy’s new best friend is the most friendly dog I’ve ever met. They’re all play and fun together. I’ll definitely book Araceli again!”
“Mercury always has the best time! We get the cutest pictures and updates throughout his stay every time, thank you so much for that. He gets so excited every time we book that his little tail starts wagging as soon as we get to the neighborhood, it’s the best thing to know he’s so excited and happy to be where he’s going. Thank you for everything!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“To start, Danielle had my dog for a daycare, and, everything went great. I received photos showing him walking with others and I know him well enough to know he was enjoying his time. I felt comfortable to go ahead and schedule two overnights with Danielle for him during my next work trip. Things I love about Danielle are that she really pays attention to what you say, the details. She is straightforward and not afraid to express any concerns (such as safety of certain types of collars etc.) Her communication has been excellent. She walks every day with multiple dogs and the pack is such an enjoyable place for my dog. I'm not inundated with photos, but, receive just enough to know he's doing well! We will be boarding at Danielle's as long as she'll have us 💜”
“Butter’s stay at Gary and Carol’s was her first away from home. We were thankful for the updates and Gary and Carol are super responsive, which was so comforting for Butter’s first boarding experience. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“We had a great experience with Anastasiia! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and understand dogs. She took excellent care of our two dogs, keeping me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Anastasiia to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“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!”
About: Nothing is more important than your furbaby’s safety and happiness. I offer dependable pet care that focuses on keeping your dogs and cats comfortable, secure, and well looked after while you’re away. For cats, I know they need gentle, calm, and stress-free care. I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and am familiar with cat behavior and body language. I provide reliable drop-in visits that prioritize your cat’s comfort and individual needs. I have a lot of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I read their body language well and know how to help them feel relaxed and at ease in new situations.
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”
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.
“Renata is the best. She communicates well, she cleans up after herself and she even knows how to reassure an anxious pet owner with separation anxiety. Thanks Renata! Highly recommended.”
About: Is your cat cuddly and clingy? Does your cat prefer to have nothing to do with humans? I am happy to be there no matter what! I have lived with and cared for cats my entire life. All "care experience" for dogs in my profile can be applied here as well. I have experience administering medicine, bathing, trimming claws, as well as respecting and understanding boundaries and body language in cats. I have been around many different breeds and temperaments, including (but not limited to): bombay, flamepoint siamese, ragdoll, persian, calico, tortoiseshell, tabbys, maine coones, sphynx.
About: I've had rescue dogs who were able to live long healthy lives under my care. I don't currently have any animals of my own but while I was in graduate school I also helped care for my dads dogs. When I was a teenager, I worked at a kids camp and took care of horses during the summers. I've also had cats, a rabbit, ferrets, and a hedgehog. I've also volunteered at farm sanctuaries quite a bit working with all kinds of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, and more. I've house sat for people with cats, dogs, and even a sugar glider. I also have experience administering medications to animals big and small. I work four 10 hour shifts per week from 4pm-2:30am. The days that I work vary each week. I'd love to check in on pets or watch them for the day on my days off. Pets can have free range in my apartment and there is a small backyard area that is unfenced. If I'm staying at your home, I'll do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and give them as much love as possible
About: I own a shitzu back home and have fallen in love with dogs ever since! I’m an active person myself and will ensure your dog will have a good workout. I can do walks, or runs with your dog depending on each dog’s requirement. I can show assertiveness if required and will be constantly attentive to your doggie friend! I am fully committed to the hours I put in and you can be assured that what you pay is what you get (and more!) It is fulfilling to see a dog enjoying their time in the outdoors as there’s so much beauty outside! Your dog will thank you for it. I respect that all owners are different and will respect your choice of methods in working with your dog.
About: Cats are my true love. (Don’t tell the dogs). I have had cats growing up, as well as taken care of friends and family’s fur baby’s many many times. I have my own cat, he’s part maincoon, his name is Miso. He’s leash trained and happy as can be.
“Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”
“Shauna was the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is great with cats! She has five cats herself, so she is attuned to their needs and has a nuanced, living experience with making sure they are cared for as much as possible. She was very astute at perceiving our cat's need for engagement and played with her consistently when we were gone. Most importantly, she made sure our cat felt loved and cared for when we were away. This quality is very difficult to define, but became apparent immediately after she started writing her Rover cards! She went way above and beyond what was required to care for Zoe. I would recommend her to anyone with a social pet needing meaningful engagement with people when you are out of town. We will definitely remember her for any time we are on travel in the future!”
“Danika checked on my cat for 7 days while I was on vacation. She communicated well and sent pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. My cat was relaxed and happy when we returned like we never left. I would have Danika watch my cat again in the future.”
“Taurie sat for our cat over the holidays and we are extremely happy. Our cat was happy and the house was completely clean when we arrived home. We would definitely hire Taurie again.”
“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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Government Island
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“My puppy loved his time with Anastasia--he was visibly excited every morning when I dropped him off, Anastasia sent photos and videos of him and his new pals having fun throughout the day, and he was thoroughly exhausted when I picked him up at the end of the day.”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them again!!”
“Mindy and Daniel are absolutely delightful to work with and are so sweet and attentive with my anxious pup. They are quick and clear with communication and I feel so lucky to have found them for regular daycare!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Claire took amazing care of my little pup! She was attentive, responsive, caring, and understanding of my puppy’s needs (as well as mine)! I highly recommend her. You can tell she really cares about the pups she watches. Thank you Claire!”
About: Hi, I’m Gabriella! I’m a stay-at-home software developer, which means someone is here with your dog all day - no long stretches alone, no rushing home between meetings. My sidekick is Milo, our mini bernedoodle. He goes to the dog park twice a day and has yet to meet a dog he didn’t immediately adore. Honestly, having a friend in the house is his dream scenario, so your pup would be doing him a favor. Your dog gets two dog park trips a day, a playmate who never runs out of energy, and photo updates you didn’t ask for but will enjoy. I’ll treat them exactly how I’d want Milo treated - safe, spoiled, and pleasantly worn out by bedtime. My schedule is built around dogs already, so adding one doesn’t change much. I’m home all day working, so your dog is never alone for long stretches — just a friend at my feet while I work, with breaks for play and attention throughout the day. Milo and I hit the dog park twice a day, morning and late afternoon, and your pup comes along (or gets a neighborhood walk instead if the dog park isn’t their scene). Meals, medications, and potty breaks run on whatever schedule you set — I’d rather keep your dog’s routine than impose mine. Evenings are calm: couch time, a little play, and lights out at a normal hour. Weekends look the same, just slower. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can play, relax, and feel at home. With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m attentive to their individual needs, ensuring they’re always safe, happy, and comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands, treated with the same care and love as my own!
“My dog enjoyed his daycare stay at Maggie's! Her house is perfect for dogs who love to jump on the furniture and roam around her large, fully-fenced yard. She was super responsive as well.”
“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”
“Sage loves it here and they even brought his favorite thing in the whole wide world today, the hose!!! 😂 apparently he had the bestest time. Sage always comes home as if he just went to the groomer and I can never tell that he probably played in the water and dirt all day! They truly are the best and always so kind and flexible. Sage is my one and only baby, so it goes a long way for me to say that I trust them completely with him 💙💚”
“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.”
“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!”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need. My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.
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: I grew up raising my two dogs, Nike and Sparky, since they were babies. Nike is a dachshund and Sparky is a little chunky chihuahua. They are both 11 years old. I also babysit my friend’s frenchie, Appa, when they go out of town. I currently work full-time, and am free in the evenings. I am also free during the weekends. I am pretty active and love to go on hikes and runs. I am a super outdoorsy person but can also be a couch potato. Although I don’t have a yard, I live in a super pet friendly neighborhood. I also currently don’t have pets and live in a calm friendly neighborhood.
“Lizette is great, she’s very trustworthy, friendly, punctual, very responsive and took great care of my Ellie. She followed all the instructions I sent her and made sure to send me lots of pictures on their walks which I really appreciate! I will book with her in the future for sure 🫶🏻 thank you Lizette”
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!
About: From having family dogs since I was a kid, to being hired as a reccurring sitter and walker for years for many clients/friends, and now owning 2 dogs of my own, I’m constantly with a furry companion and I wouldn’t want to live any other way. I love being outside, especially with my pups, so if your dog needs to get out and roam on some adventures I’m always up for a walk or some fetch, rain (especially rain), or shine. I’m also a big fan of lap dogs no matter what shape or size so if your pooch is a bit of a home body, and just needs some belly rubs or someone to sit with and talk their ear off, I’m your guy. I work part time during the week, most often Tuesday-Thursday starting at 9 am. I can flex my schedule to meet your schedule if you need an early morning walk or pop in as well as afternoons and evenings Having 2 dogs ourselves, my wife and I are very aware of things like doors being left open, or food being reached. We are hyper vigilant when it comes to our dogs safety as well as others. We always leash our dogs!

About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
About: I have always been a pet sitter, even from a young age. I am trustworthy, communicative and will treat your pet like my own.

I am a Cincinnati transplant who just moved to Portland. I am currently working part time, and I would love to spend my free time hanging out with your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I'm more than happy to work with you to help meet your needs! My pets have always meant the world to me. I enjoy nothing more than spending as much time with my cat as possible, your animal is no different. I have 15+ years of experience caring for folk's animals while they're away or at work. I will do my very best to keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pet, as well as communicate any questions/comments and concerns right away.
About: I have owned and been around dogs since a young age. I’ I have experience with different behaviors and mannerisms of dogs from all walks of life. Currently on summer break so I have open availability on the days I have outside of other part time work. Days provided on my profile. I live in a cozy apartment and provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for with gentle handling and consistent, trustworthy attention.
About: I've taken care of animals of almost every kind for most of my life, both professionally as a Veterinary Technician for more than 15+ years as well as personally with my own pets, which I've had all my life. I truly love animals and have dedicated my life to helping and caring for them and even plan on attending Vet School. I have fostered countless animals, both dogs and cats, as well as more than 35 bottle-fed kittens. I have experience with just about every kind of pet and even those that are senior or those with special requirements such as medications, special diets, and subcutaneous fluid and physical therapy. I have a great deal of experience with animal behavior and have worked with many difficult and even aggressive animals. *Please contact me for services only if you are serious about hiring me, if you have friends or family willing to sit for you please explore those options before reaching out* I currently work on a full-time basis, so I will have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to dedicate to caring for the most precious members of your family! I have done quite a bit of pet sitting work so I am very familiar with this experience. I am extremely respectful when I'm in my client's home and I remain conscious of the fact that it's your pet's home too and I'm respectful of their space as well. I strive to ensure that your pet continues to feel safe and cared for when I'm in their home. I perpetuate a quiet, calming presence which most animals respond to positively. I will do everything in my power to ensure your pet's wellbeing and happiness, while still accomplishing everything that has been asked of me by my client. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born, sometimes living with multiple dogs, and animals at once, and never neglecting a single one and always providing lots of love and comfort! We have taken care of friends’ dogs, traveled around the country with them, and genuinely know how to interact and take care of our furry friends. I have lived with grumpier dogs, hyper dogs, large, small and everything in between and have loved every single one. I am patient, reliable person who would like to help make your life easier and ease any stress you may have while traveling, at work, or just out on the town! I would be so excited to host your pet in my home, or visit with your pet in the comfort of his or her own home! :) I am respectful and understand the vulnerability of the situation, and would gladly take every precaution necessary to make sure this experience is great for your pet and for you! Thank you! ☺️ I will walk in near by parks, or take on hikes if desired/allowed. Am willing to walk as often as needed, and follow all meticulous care needs. I have a flexible schedule right now- so most situations will work for me. I do have one dog, that I normally do not like to leave behind so please keep this in mind when booking. He is extremely friendly and loves dogs, cats and other animals big and small. He is the small white dog present in several photos on my profile. There is a dog park right down the street from my home, but am open to all wishes from pet owners in regards to specific care.
About: I own a shitzu back home and have fallen in love with dogs ever since! I’m an active person myself and will ensure your dog will have a good workout. I can do walks, or runs with your dog depending on each dog’s requirement. I can show assertiveness if required and will be constantly attentive to your doggie friend! I am fully committed to the hours I put in and you can be assured that what you pay is what you get (and more!) It is fulfilling to see a dog enjoying their time in the outdoors as there’s so much beauty outside! Your dog will thank you for it. I respect that all owners are different and will respect your choice of methods in working with your dog.
About: Had dogs my whole life. Mines a coward and we'd need to check that he gets along with yours first, he'll get bullied if I'm not careful, the poor thing I stay home all day and spend as much of my time as possible outside. Your dog may come back muddy though, the messier you get the more fun you had and all! I am home all day with eyes/ears on the pets nearly constantly. I also spend so much time in environments that encourage explorative play and will keep most dogs too busy to get bored and act out in the first place. If a pet did act out, there's more than enough space in my place to separate animals and allow them to decompress. If at your place, mine is kennel trained for the same idea.
About: I don't like seeing pets alone when their owners are away, so I love keeping them company! I make them feel comfortable in my home. As an animal lover and a deaf person, I appreciate having pets around for companionship. My schedule is available in anytime. Just let me know if you want me watch your pets as longer I don’t mind. I love to help. I always respect your home’s rule with your pets. As long you let me know with your concerns. I love to check your pets to make sure they’re ok.
About: I'm passionate about caring for animals and ensuring your home is guest-ready upon your return. My specialty is multi pet house holds. My goal is to spoil your animal friend following your specific instructions, whether that means lots of playtime and attention or a calm and quiet stay. Having my own amazing pets for many wonderful years, I understand the importance of love and respect in animal care. I can follow instructions and strive provide the same level of care you do. Whether you have a young or old companion, I'm committed to their comfort and happiness. I have extensive experience as a pet and house sitter for many years. I'm known for my detailed-oriented approach and ability to work with animals of all temperaments. I'm always happy to accommodate any special needs or routines. I will feed your sour dough starter. Additionally, I'm flexible with long-term rates and can help with pet supply shopping or consulting. I’m available for round the clock care or daily walks, and hour is best for an active dog but if we have an hour forest hike we don’t count the driving time. I have a fenced yard and wood floors, and a big cushy rug next to the heater. My area is great for taking long walks. My Partner sometime comes to share a meal or is available in case of emergency this is his profile below https://r.rover.com/j8v7qW
About: Ive taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets since I was a young child. I’ve worked with animals in multiple different environments and I can administer medication as well as provide a bath using my pet grooming station. 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 take my own cats on walks several times a day we eat three limited ingredient meals a day and take regular baths and grooming sessions. Needless to say I never run out of time when it comes to spending time with any animals. I don’t have a yard however I have a big comfy couch and two very friendly cats that love dogs ready to play! I also live near a lot of dog parks including sellwood dog park and love going on tons of walks and runs throughout the day. I have a very clean home and a crate incase it’s needed I can also separate my cats away if needed pretty much can work around anything I’ve even got an elevator.

“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!!”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Jared took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog, Ace, during a four-night stay. From the beginning, he was friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our senior pup in his care. Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Jared genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Ace was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Jared again and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Larry is relaxed when he comes home. That says it all. Plus, Anastasia's vibes are the best. Thank you for taking such good care of my guy while I'm away!”
“Araceli, Breezy’s boarding care provider, was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and loving during my pup’s two-night stay at her place. She’s organized and mindful of space, creating a large yet contained backyard area. Breezy’s new best friend is the most friendly dog I’ve ever met. They’re all play and fun together. I’ll definitely book Araceli again!”
“Mercury always has the best time! We get the cutest pictures and updates throughout his stay every time, thank you so much for that. He gets so excited every time we book that his little tail starts wagging as soon as we get to the neighborhood, it’s the best thing to know he’s so excited and happy to be where he’s going. Thank you for everything!!”
“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!”
“To start, Danielle had my dog for a daycare, and, everything went great. I received photos showing him walking with others and I know him well enough to know he was enjoying his time. I felt comfortable to go ahead and schedule two overnights with Danielle for him during my next work trip. Things I love about Danielle are that she really pays attention to what you say, the details. She is straightforward and not afraid to express any concerns (such as safety of certain types of collars etc.) Her communication has been excellent. She walks every day with multiple dogs and the pack is such an enjoyable place for my dog. I'm not inundated with photos, but, receive just enough to know he's doing well! We will be boarding at Danielle's as long as she'll have us 💜”
“Butter’s stay at Gary and Carol’s was her first away from home. We were thankful for the updates and Gary and Carol are super responsive, which was so comforting for Butter’s first boarding experience. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“Matthew and Lindsay provided the best care for our senior dog. He usually experiences separation anxiety but was immediately comfortable in their house. They were also flexible with our ever changing situation. Highly recommend!!!”
“Angie did a wonderful job with our playful pup, Tillie. We received great updates daily and Tillie seemed right at home while we were away. Angie took her for some adventures and hikes and she also got lots of snuggles too. Angie provided a great vacation for Tillie while we were away, and we love that. Thanks, Angie!”
“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❤️”
“Our dog Taro stayed with Kyle for boarding while we were on an extended weekend vacation. It was our 1st time using Rover for him after 5 years of having him and I was feeling nervous about it. During our meet and greet, Kyle asked great questions and made us feel at ease about him staying with her and her pup Junie. We got lots of photo updates throughout the weekend with Taro and Junie becoming fast friends. We felt like he was on vacation too! We would definitely recommend Kyle to anyone and we will be back!”
“Grandpa’s Doggy Den is the best! Steve took great care of our dog Chester during a one week stay. He kept us updated and sent photos and videos which we were happy to receive. Steve’s love of dogs is obvious by the way he cares for each dog individually making sure their needs are met and they enjoy their stay and have fun! I highly recommend Grandpa’s Doggy Den!”
“Abby had a great time with Stan. She returned home happy, healthy and wiped out from all the play time. We will be happy to have Abby stay with Stan again.”
