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.”

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

“This was our first time needing a sitter/ walker and using Rover- and Tommy was AMAZING! He was extremely thorough during our meet and greet, which was such a relief to us. He took Luna on a long walk (longer than we do, which is awesome!), and spent quality time with her while we were out all day. He kept great communication throughout, as well. It was a great first experience with a sitter/ walker, and would definitely recommend Tommy for anyone needing his services. We look forward to booking him more regularly!”

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.
“Acacia always does a great job of picking up my dog and taking her on walks. I always come home to a very happy pup. Acacia is very dependable and clearly loves dogs. I will certainly have her come walk my dog again in the future.”
About: I've cared for neighbors dogs of many different temperaments and with different needs. I've practiced in turning down dogs that beg, but always happy to reward them for good behavior with scratches and pets. I've also cared for dogs with arthritis that required assistance down the stairs, and anti-slip boots among other health concerns. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I do not work an in-person job so my schedule is very flexible. I can give your dog as much attention as they deserve. I can provide pet sitting in your home so that your dog never has to be left alone, or I can drop in as needed for walks, feeding and attention. I'm always happy to take your buddy along to run errands. I'm tidy, organized and responsible - I am always mindful to not leave things out that are not for pets. I mostly get around on bike or walking, but have access to a reliable car as well.
About: I love spending time with pets and walking outside. I've taken care of dogs since childhood, and now I live between Laurelhurst and Mt Tabor, so there's no shortage of trails in the area. Let's go!! I'm currently taking a year-long sabbatical from a stressful job and training to hike the PCT, so I am available for your pet at almost all hours of the day! I typically hike a few times a week and may be gone for 4-8hrs, but this is flexible as your pets' schedule demands. My husband also works from home and can provide some extra attention and play. I'm a big fan of drop in and walks! I think staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet. I am happy to offer a 15% discount if you book multiple drop ins per day (please inquire!). Currently, I am only boarding cats, as I have two cats of my own and occasionally foster. All guest kitties are kept separate.
“We are so pleased to have connected with Mathew. Jack seems to really like him and he was actually tired after yesterday’s walk! That’s rare. Looking forward to more walks with Mat.”
“Sidra is incredibly caring and focused on Jet’s well being and safety, being attentive to his cues and needs. After just one interaction I feel completely comfortable with Sidra taking care of Jet!”
“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.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. I grew up caring for animals by pet sitting dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets while having dogs in my home as well. My partner also grew up volunteering at local animal shelters and had dogs in the family as long as they can remember. We have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. Until recently, we cared for our senior dog with a slew of genetic health issues who has since passed and our current dog has ongoing eye care needs. Because of this, we are comfortable administering eye drops and ointments, oral medications, ear ointments, and we are happy to learn any medication routine your pet requires. Our current dog also came to us completely untrained and not housebroken, so we understand the patience and consistency it takes to help dogs learn new routines. We’re happy to continue potty training and reinforce positive habits while your puppy stays with us. Since we both work from home, your dog won’t be left along for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Our current dog reads social cues very well and is great at helping new dogs feel comfortable. Above all, we treat every pet like they are part of the family. We know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend and we will make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a part of our daily routine. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is always home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. Our dog enjoys 3 walks a day, including 1 longer walk or outing. We are happy to adjust that routine to fit your pets needs. We’re also available most weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated like family. We live in an apartment at ground level with easy access to parks and potty areas. Because someone is always home, your dog will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine. Well follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication routine, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and at home.
“Alicia took excellent care of my senior dog, Athena. She was very communicative, responsive, went above and beyond, and Athena was very sad to leave at the end of her stay.”
“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!”
