“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!”
“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”
“Maria is great! As soon as I met her, I knew Porkchop would be in great hands. She is attentive and sets a routine early on. I felt better on vacation knowing she was watching Porkchop. She communicated everyday and answered questions I had. Thanks Maria!”
“Jake took great care of our 10 month old puppy! He was quick with communication, flexible with drop-off/pick-up scheduling, and most of all made Rosie comfortable while she was away from her home.”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Dan was great -- he was flexible in accepting (rather last minute on my part) booking request. He took my big dog on several walks to wear him out! Pick up and drop off were a breeze. We'll be back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“Keelan & Sabrina take wonderful care of Rosie. I am so grateful for their kindness and patience with her. Rosie seems to enjoy her visits with Keelan & Sabrina. She comes home happy and exhausted, just perfect.”
“Noemi was great! Very communicative, open and honest! My little guy is a senior and very anxious in new environments. By the 2nd day, I believe he was way more settled! She really cares for your pets while away and she even has her family to help assist which they all were friendly as well! I’ll definitely be booking again with Noemi!!”
“Vanessa was wonderfully communicative and considerate, and both of her pets seemed like absolute sweethearts too! I’m so grateful to have trusted her with my dog Dagger’s care, and would be relieved to do so again if I’m ever in the area in the future and need to!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shari on Rover. This was our first time vacationing and leaving our special-needs dog, who has separation anxiety, and it was not an easy decision. From the very beginning, Shari made us feel completely at ease. She truly loved him and treated him as if he were her own. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave us the confidence to fully enjoy our time away. Shari sent frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to us and really helped when we missed him. I couldn’t recommend Shari more highly. She is kind, attentive, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”

“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Evita! As first-time Rover users who had only ever left our cats with family before, we were understandably a little nervous, but she was incredibly patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. She was communicative, flexible, and very thorough, making sure we always knew how things were going at home. We especially appreciated that she continued sending updates and photos even when our cats were hiding. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats' well being and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. We came home to happy cats and felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”

She caught all the details of his care routine and used great discretion of when to add in extra support as needed when she did drop-in visits with him over the holidays. Even when he had an upset stomach, she took care of him and the mess in a professional and compassionate way. I appreciate her kindness, level of detail in her care, and her thorough communication.”
About: I have had multiple cats throughout my life and adore the opportunity to befriend as many new ones as I can. It's important to me that both you and your fur babies are as comfortable as possible and I'm happy to accommodate what is needed to ensure everyone is at ease and as happy as possible. I'm experienced with shy or aggressive cats to the biggest cuddle bugs, from kittens through elderly felines alike. I will give them the best possible care I can and look forward to collaborating with you to learn about what that entails.
“Archie checked in on my cat Waffle while I was away on a trip, and they did a great job. My cat is very playful and friendly, so I was glad to have someone spend time with her so she wouldn't be lonely. Archie was very nice and sent me lots of photos as well. He came out and did a pet visit beforehand which made me feel at ease about leaving her while I was gone.”

“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!”
“We tried the drop in service today and it gave me such piece of mind knowing Dash was entertained rather than sitting at home alone. Tommy was quick to respond and very accommodating. Dash came home happy and sleepy. A++”
“Damon has been a life saver for my daycare needs. He is reliable, personable, and communicative. I work full time and have an active GSD who needs adequate mental stimulation and play. By the time I pick her up, she’s ready to eat and relax for the rest of the evening. He has a spacious and clean backyard for the dogs to roam/play around in without it feeling too crowded. I always get pics and updates thru out the day to make me feel reassured she’s safe and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Damon and his services.”
“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!”
“Our puppy had the best day with Kristopher. He was sensitive to our puppy’s needs, and eased her into meeting his crew when she was nervous on arrival. She seems to have had the best day, and we are so appreciative of his expertise with puppies.”
“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.”
“Exceptional couple who took great care of my puppy. They like dogs and helped me with some great training tips. You can’t go wrong with them. I almost want to hide my review, so that they don’t overbook we I need them😊.”
“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”
“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!”
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“Margaret is great! She made a quick connection with my shy/nervous dog. By the 2nd visit, my dog was excited to see Margaret and not hesitant at all when I dropped her off. Margaret sends us lots of cute pictures and pays close attention to my dog's needs like when she needs a breaks from an overly playful puppy. I would definitely recommend her!”
“What a wonderful job Chris did today with Flip! It was so good knowing he was in such good care. And Chris took excellent photos of my little guy! Made the separation easier for me and I know Chris made it easier for Flip.”
“Danielle was great with Mango and she sent regular updates throughout the day. She made sure Mango felt comfortable throughout her stay. She was also very good a communicating when planning drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Danielle.”
“Gosh, Humphrey is so happy when he knows we’re getting close to Trish’s house! When I pick him up, he’s smiling and laughing as if you had told him the funniest joke. As someone who is anxious about her boys, I am very particular in who I allow to watch and/or be around them. I feel comfortable knowing Humphrey is safe, getting loved on, and being appreciated as an individual ❤️ Thanks Trish and Kev!”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”
“Sheung is a very trustworthy and kind person! Mochi was under great care. He went on an amazing walk under the cherry blossoms, he played outdoors and was no doubt a very happy dog when we picked him up. She’s also located very close to an enclosed dog park so that’s a bonus. Sheung is Number One!”

“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: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I have three full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can be flexible with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I respect my client’s rules, preferences, and boundaries regarding their pets. I will avoid places they’re not supposed to go, keep them on leash at all times, socially distance them if requested, and never give them treats or food unless given owner permission.
“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!”
About: I grew up in rural Oregon and have owned and rehabilitated all sorts of animals! I put myself through college by becoming a dog groomer. I worked as a dog groomer for five years :) I work full time hybrid. I go in person to cover a four hour shift once a week, otherwise I work a statistics job from home. Plenty of opportunities for potty breaks for your pets :) I have worked with and owned all animals my entire life even spiders and reptiles. Anything your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable in my presence- it is my pleasure.
“This was our first time having Kayley care for Baja and she was amazing! Kayley’s communications and updates were excellent and she went above and beyond on some visits to help with other things. We’ll definitely request her again the next time we need help with dog walking.”

“Julia has been very helpful pitching in for midday walks whenever we have schedule changes and cannot be home. We appreciate her flexibility, communication, and thoughtful attention to our dog!”
About: Having grown up on a farm I have been around animals my entire life. My favorite have always been dogs and cats. I have taken animal care and vet sciences in 4H and volunteered in an animal shelter. I can't imagine life without animals, they add so much joy to life. I currently work part time as a caregiver for seniors. Most of my days are 4 to 6 hours long with weekends off. I have a flexible schedule . Since my schedule is flexible I can adjust to you pets needs well so they are being fed and walked at their regular times to help reduce stress.
About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
About: Hi! My name is Anika H. and currently I'm a student. Something about me that many other people may know is that I've always had a deep love for animals. My passion and knowledge for this job first started when I first met a service dog in training at girl scouts, ever since then I had the need to constantly be around dogs. The jobs on this site include everything that I absolutely love! Helping others, seeing dogs and earning experience for my future dream job. If you hire me I swear I will not let you down. I cannot wait to meet you, and I cannot wait to meet your lovely dog! I only work part time currently and my favorite thing to do to get out of the house is take my dog for a long walk, he has someone else to take care of him at home, which frees me up for your pet! I take great care to learn your pet's personal schedule and needs, I will always fill any water/food bowls, clean any litter boxes (if applicable), and make sure your pet is secure and safe.
“Liz was amazing! She picked up Momo right on time and sent some great profile pics so we see that our dog was happy and all tuckered out afterwards. She also gave some dog walking advice to boot. Professional, caring and fun!”
“My dog is getting up in years and some days has energy and some days wants to take it slow. I can always count on Tayla to be sensitive to her needs each day and tailor her walk. I couldn’t be happier with her sensitivity and kindness to my dog.”
“Aaron was kind enough to walk my dog even though we are outside his preferred neighborhood. He was easy to communicate with, sent pics and stayed in touch. Thanks, Aaron!”
About: Most of my pet care experience has come solely from looking after my family dogs as well as two beloved cats of my own. Daily walks, administering oral medication, and meticulously adhering to feeding schedules are second nature to me. As a thoughtful and caring pet sitter, I go the extra mile to ensure your fur babies feel not just cared for, but truly loved and comforted. I’m currently working full time as a teacher during weekdays and am off by 4:30pm so I can come anytime after 4:30 to help with care for your pet! In my home or yours, I prioritize the well-being of your pets through personalized care. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and a lot of attention and down time to be sure they feel comforted. I know for cats it depends on personality, so whether or not your cat is energetic or chill I will match their energy and make them feel stress free and cared for. Interactive playtime, and litter box maintenance are the big things I ensure to look after while you're away so your household remains clean. I adhere closely to feeding schedules for both dogs and cats and can also administer any necessary medications if needed.
About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.
About: A long term pet sitter for multiple families, positive experiences caring for senior dogs, and always working with respect and love for the furry family members. I also have experience caring for different farm animals! I have wide ranges of availability to accommodate walking and feeding and play schedules, I work 5 days a week but always make time before during and/or after the work day to spend proper time! To me theres no such thing as too much communication when it comes to something this important, pet parents wont have to feel shy about voicing their requests and check ins!
