“Laura was so amazing!! We left our 4 month old puppy with her and she was extremely accommodating. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and even sent us updates, since our 5 year old son was pretty concerned about leaving his best friend with a stranger. I felt very comforted knowing Sylvie was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”

“Christopher gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. He met Ted, our Aussiedoodle, the week before scheduled our trip. While we were gone, he housesat and gave Ted lots of attention. He sent us text messages daily with photos of their outings. The house looked great when we got home and Ted was pretty mellow.”


“Jake took great care of my dog for a week on short notice. He's very flexible and responsive and his dog is super easy going with my dog. I've booked with him twice now, and plan on booking within in the future!”

“Keaton and fam were awesome! Daily check ins with photos of our dog having fun and being comfortable. He took great care of our dog and was totally evident in the pictures and when we picked her up! Highly recommend, will definitely use him again!”

“Wally had so much fun and was so well taken care of by Dylan. He came home happy and healthy and relaxed. Wally can be a lot -- he likes a lot of tennis balls to be thrown pretty much constantly and Dylan did an awesome job keeping him exercised and entertained. And I received lots of photos which was super nice and reassuring. Thank you, Dylan!”

“Bentley can get really nervous around new people but immediately warmed up to Sandy. He was exhausted when he came home so I knew he had a great time! I loved getting pictures of him while I was away! Sandy is wonderful!”

“If I could leave more stars than 5, I would - Allison is just wonderful; it’s such a blessing to leave Juno with such confidence. Thank you, Allison! :-) See you next time!”

“Sarah has watched our pup several times and we could never ask for better care. She is great with sending updates and you can tell how much they care for the pups. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Tammy took great care of our golden. She texted often to give us updates on how he was doing and we knew he was in good hands. We look forward to working with Tammy again in the future.”

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”

“We had our new puppy stay over while we went on a 4 day vacation. I could tell he had lots of fun! While he's definitely adorable I know he's a handful so thank you so much!”

“So happy to have been able to let my pup hang with Damon and play with friends! Damon was extremely accommodating, great communication and most importantly took care of little one! Thank you!”

“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”
“Kimo is officially Connor's sitter. Connor usually stays with family for when my husband and I go out of town. We just moved to Portland just over a year and it's just the 3 of us, no family to watch him. I came on Rover and saw Kimo's profile and decided to message him. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions and concerns about leaving Connor with him, he made me feel very comfortable. Connor was with Kimo a week, and everyday he sent pictures, videos, and responded to my text immediately. I highly recommend Kimo to watch your fur baby/babies.”


“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”

“Went on a 3-week vacation without any worries as I knew Dash was in good hands with Tommy. Tommy was great at providing regular updates and communicated with me throughout the entire trip despite the time difference. Dash receive his daily exercise and social play. He came back happy, calmer, and way better at potty training. There are many caregivers out there but Tommy will take care of your baby like his own.”


“Susie was excellent! Very responsive in messaging. Also very flexible as far as plans. Our dog had a safe and happy stay with her. We would definitely work with Susie again!”

“Excellent care provided for my kitty by Gretchen! She made sure she was on time to feed and care for Gracie 2x daily, and give her meds. Gracie seemed content and well taken care of when I returned home! Thanks Gretchen! I’ll be in touch again soon!”


“Julie was reliable, timely, and consistent with her notes and pictures while she took care of our two cats. I never worried that they were getting the care they needed!”

“Lucinda was such a help over Christmas! I ended up with one of my two cats needing pilled twice a day and ointment in his eye twice a day — he can be evasive and squirmy, too. Lucinda made sure he got his doses :) My house was clean and trash was even taken out when I got home!”
“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”

“Stacy did an excellent job taking care of our cat Winston during our two week honeymoon. We returned to a relaxed car and well kept home. Her status updates allowed us to see the fun they were having during the visits!”


“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.”


“Danielle is a dog whisperer!! Our little guy, Pharrell usually takes a while to warm up to new people and within 10 minutes he was licking Danielle’s face and just loved her. Sent us lots of updates & photos, which we loved seeing while out of town! Thank you Danielle!!”


“Emma was amazing! Our cats clearly loved her and she was so great with communicating with us. We felt completely at ease with leaving our cats at home. Would 100% recommend Emma!”


“I love the pictures of the kids! I love that Muffin came out and played! You were so wonderful to them.... maybe too wonderful... they seemed slightly disappointed when I came through the door on my return home. Adriana was very timely with the appointments and the communication was spot on. Thank you for watching the furballs. I would love to have you over again!”

“Emma is the best sitter! Not only did she take great care of my cat, but she also kept me updated on her health issues and how she was doing afterward. I often worry about my cat during trips and have trouble enjoying myself, but this time I was able to relax and have fun. I definitely want to ask her to take care of my cat again”

“Ann was great! Flexible, communicative, took cute pics of our kitties :), and came twice a day to hang out with them. Kept an extra eye on one who was just over a urinary blockage. Will definitely use her again.”


“Susan was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat while we were away! She gave us updates and photos each time she visited, and we could tell that our cat enjoyed spending time with her. Susan did a great job following the instructions we'd left, and we'd absolutely trust her to watch our cat again in the future! Very thankful to have found Susan.”


“Chloe is a wonderful and communicative sitter! I’m appreciative that she’s able to spend a lot of time at the house with Gretchen. Hope to continue to book Chloe when I’m away.”


“Came home to a happy cat, and that's always a relief ☺️ Rachel sent photos with Oliver playing and enjoying the sun, he was well fed and litter clean. Will book again, thanks Rachel!”

“Hannah was the most wonderful pet-sitter for us while we were away for two weeks. She sent updates and pictures daily and we knew our pets were well cared-for the entire time. Thank you, Hannah!”


“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond.

“Damon is a wonderful sitter and handled my two dogs with such great care! They had a great time and came thoroughly exhausted and happy. We got videos and photos throughout the day which was awesome. Your dog will be super cared for and in great hands with Damon! I highly recommend him.”

“Tommy was extremely communicative and provided a lot of good updates and photos during my dog's stay! You can tell he's really good with dogs and loves to be with them. Absolutely recommend Tommy to anyone in downtown PDX!”
“Keaton was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for an entire day, making sure he had plenty of potty breaks (every hour) and multiple 30 minute walks to get out his energy. He was fantastic with Eggington and made sure he felt safe and comfortable (Eggington took to him immediately!). Greatly appreciate Keaton's care towards dogs and flexibility to work with our schedules!”

“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”

“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”

“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”

“What a fantastic oasis for our pup! She had an amazing time here, was lovingly welcomed and well taken care of. We would have her stay again if we were in town longer. This family is fantastic and provides a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you!”


“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

“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 💞”

About: I have worked at a doggie day care, dog walked and dog sat for years, and trained both of my personal dogs. My last dog was a reactive German Shepard so I have experience with leash reactive dogs. I try to do research and stay up to date on important animal care info and training! My schedule is changeable, but currently very flexible. I am planning on making it more routine and I am open throughout the week and during the weekends. I have a one year old border collie mix. I walk her twice a day, training everyday, and I take her on hikes and adventures on days off/ the weekend! I love to be active and if your dog is friendly I am happy to bring them along on our adventures!
“Emily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there won’t be any worries. My dachshund usually doesn’t eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.”

“Catherine was great with our pup! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to hang out with our puppy while we attended a soccer game in Portland. Great communication, provided pictures while she was watching our pup, and did great with our high energy dog! Would highly recommend and would use again if we are in Portland again!”


“Ava is a gem! Super communicative, flexible, and caring. Very convenient to downtown Portland / Pearl District / Goose Hollow / Nob Hill. She met with me and my pup before our day care booking with her sweet Golden Retriever ‘Lila - I immediately noticed how well cared for and well mannered her pup is, which is in my opinion a very good sign of her care and dedication. Moseley can be anxious with new environments and being away from his people at first, she gave him love and helped him calm into his day with her and took him on a nice walk. Would absolutely book again!”

“Our dog doesn't do well alone and had a great time at Heather and Roberto's for daycare. I loved the picture updates and our dog came home happy and a little tired, which is just what we wanted!”


“Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.”

“Kathy is so good with Elsa. I love leaving Elsa with her. They have fun together, taking a walk in the wonderful Sellwood neighborhood, and hanging out at home.”

“Tara did a fantastic job with Huey! She was easy to communicate with and make a plan, even though I asked her to dog sit less with less than 24 hours notice. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day to ensure that Huey was having a good time. They even went on a long walk together! When I picked him up he was happy and content. I can tell that Huey was very comfortable with Tara, and I would highly recommend her caretaking!”

“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”

“Liliana is lovely and definitely has a connection with dogs. My little dog Nina doesn’t trust people at all and she immediately liked Liliana. I was tied up when she came to walk Nina and Nina barked and then went out with her without any fuss and without me being there! Liliana is professional, friendly and punctual. HIGHLY recommend!! NOTE: I would hire her weekly but my sister offered to help me - it’s not because Liliana isn’t the best!”

“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Katlyn was wonderful and our Golden was so happy with her. She was punctual and communicated clearly with us. Our Golden is large and she handled him so well. We will definitely hire her in the future!”


“Danielle handled our two dogs with great care and we would absolutely trust her with our pups again! She was responsive, kind, and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back.”

“Violet is the sweetest! My pup is unusually anxious right now, as we're new to Portland. But Violet met Heidi where she was at-- letting her sit, sniff, or walk at her own pace, and was just so considerate. Heidi came back home a happy, tail-wagging girl! And so we've already booked Violet for future dates. 10/10 can easily recommend!!”

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.
“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”


“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: I grew up training and showing dogs and come with 9 years of experience in pet care and grooming. I currently do not have any dogs but am looking to offer my experience and care through dog walking and daycare and checkins. When housesitting I tend to vaccum and to some light cleaning to ensure that you are coming back to a clean home after your vacation. Looking forward to meeting your pets. I’m currently working full time but work a flex schedule and am fully available on weekends. I am free for daily walks and pet checkins I can check in with your pet, ensure proper exercise and potty breaks are taken throughout the day and ensure that feeding schedules are followed.
“Chloe is great. She is wonderful at communication and sent a ton of pictures. She is very understanding of my dogs needs and personalities. We look forward to continuing to use her our dog care needs.”

“Kai took great care of my 2 dogs! Took them on a nice long walk, and made sure they had everything they needed. Also, he was able to book on very short notice! Would definitely book another walk with Kai for next time.”

“Christopher did a great job I would hire him again and again. I can tell when my dog has done a brisk walk or has had a stroll. Each time Christopher walked my dog she was tuckered out in the evening. He went above and beyond. Christopher had great communication and came on time.”


“Alexander came for a first solo walk with our 65 lb dog-reactive girl, and reported that everything went well! We were sent a lot of great pictures. At the meet-and-greet, Alexander really listened and absorbed all the mitigation strategies that we have for the leash reactivity (even taking notes!). Thank you, Alexander!”

The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”
“Kimo is officially Connor's sitter. Connor usually stays with family for when my husband and I go out of town. We just moved to Portland just over a year and it's just the 3 of us, no family to watch him. I came on Rover and saw Kimo's profile and decided to message him. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions and concerns about leaving Connor with him, he made me feel very comfortable. Connor was with Kimo a week, and everyday he sent pictures, videos, and responded to my text immediately. I highly recommend Kimo to watch your fur baby/babies.”


“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”

“Went on a 3-week vacation without any worries as I knew Dash was in good hands with Tommy. Tommy was great at providing regular updates and communicated with me throughout the entire trip despite the time difference. Dash receive his daily exercise and social play. He came back happy, calmer, and way better at potty training. There are many caregivers out there but Tommy will take care of your baby like his own.”

“Gabriela was a great sitter for my 11 year old pup Rigo. She was responsive and friendly. She sent pictures of their walks together and made sure to keep me updated. My boy is a bit picky and she went above and beyond getting him to eat. I would request her to watch my pup again in the future!”

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

“Bonnie was a wonderful host for my anxiety-prone doggo. She went out her way to make sure Rosie was comfortable and even provided services I didn't ask for, like chopping up extra fruit and veggies when the stuff I supplied ran out. Would highly recommend and would hope to be able to use her services again!”

“Abe is amazing! He is reliable and communicative, making the entire experience very easy. He's great at handling dogs and it's good to know that my dog was well taken care of while I'm away. I would highly recommend Abe to anyone on Rover.”

“My dog Daisy stayed with Liberty for a week and she took great care of her and the dogs got along swimmingly! She did great with some funny logistics I had with handing off to a friend and it all went smooth and easy! Will be using her again!”

“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!”

“Sonia is a great sitter. I am comfortable with her, and my puppy is a fun, safe, and clean environment. Sonia is a great communicator, and consistently keeps me informed about my pup’s care.”
