“Another great stay with Sandy! The best thing Sandy provides is peace of mind. It's so nice to be able to go out of town and know that our pup is in such loving and capable hands with Sandy. We really appreciate all that she does!”
“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
“noemi was so great with my dog while i was away! she really understood how to take care of a senior dog, was flexible about letting him go out, sent many pictures of him while i was away; and he seemed very calm and content when i went to go pick him up after my trip. i highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“In all my years of owning a dog, I have never EVER found a sitter as good as Keelan and Sabrina. It is evident how deeply they love animals, how much they care about providing a safe home for my little guy, and how much joy they get out of doing what they do. As an anxious mom, I can finally rest easy on trips knowing how happy my dog is to be there, how much fun he’s having, and how well taken care of he is. Keelan and Sabrina are thoughtful, highly communicative (so many great pictures/videos), and have welcomed my little guy right into their family. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart to have found them, and cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“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.”
“Tammy was great - super responsive communicator, sent lots of updates, and was easy to work with to figure out logistics. We appreciate the great care she provided!”
“Linda was so accommodating and friendly, I felt at ease with them right away! They were so kind to take photos of our little dog Murphy which once we got back into cell reception it was a delight to see he had his own very fun vacation! Thanks so much Linda, you’re our first contact for our next time away!”
“Sam is my go-to Rover whenever I need help with Angel, and I can’t recommend her enough! She takes such amazing care of Angel, treating her like her own. When I travel, I’m always at ease knowing Angel is in great hands. I’ll always have nothing but great things to say about Sam. Thank you again, Sam!”
“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 🙂”
“Veronica was great! Our dog Perla is 1 year old and very active and playful. She was kept busy with Veronicas two dogs for 12 days, which Perla seem to enjoy very much. Veronica is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She kept us informed with pictures and videos. We will definitely use Veronica again.”

“Jake was a natural with our hyper hound and took great care of him for over a week! We were able to relax while on vacation knowing that he was in great hands and had another pup, Jake's dog Zoey, to play with.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Vanessa took great care of my dog Gigi. She was super sweet and I felt like I truly could trust her with my dog. She sent me photos of updates about Gigi and also administered her eye medication twice a day. Her space was clean and felt safe and her cat was very nice. I would definitely reccomend Vanessa’s services to take care of your pet! I will rebook again for sure:)”
“Our pup Bijou had a wonderful vacation with Jamie and Nicole while we were away. She went on some nice walks, and a couple of longer hikes during her week with them. We feel very comfortable leaving her in their care. She is always well treated and loved during her stays.”

“Charles was amazing! He truly loves cats and even our shy one warmed up. Responsible, on time, great at communicating and sending pics. He even cleaned the litter box and Gus’s broken dishes!”
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”

“Wow. Amazing. Took our booking short notice (a week) took lots of photos, and more than anything: Ellie (our cat) was more open and playful than with other folks. 10/10”
“We love Meg! She is so kind, caring and adaptable. We know she genuinely cares about our pet and we can trust her to give him the best care. We will ALWAYS use Meg if she's available when we leave town!”
“Susan did a great job taking care of my cat for two weeks. Lots of communications, videos and photos. I would definitely come again and recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing sitter. My cat was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for when I got home. She sent lots of updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind, and she even left cat TV on for him. The house was spotless I genuinely couldn’t even tell someone had been there. I’m a very anxious/needy cat mom and she made me feel reassured the entire time. I’m beyond grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
“Another 5-🌟 review for Molly! She is so easy to communicate with and takes super care of my cats and home. I will continue to book her in the future. My kitties remembered her from her previous visits in May, which I take as a good sign. 😻😻”
“Lyle was such a great help when I had to leave town for a 10 day trip. He was always on top of the communication and I felt rest assured leaving my two cats in his hands. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend to others. Thanks, Lyle!”
“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”
“Both Taylor and Brett were helpful and super on top of taking care of our cats, very professional and thorough with their reports and photos. I felt like our cats were in great hands.”

“Jax says Rover needs more stars for Allen. I love being with him and my buddies there. I get to run and run and play and play, then nap and do it all again — it’s doggy heaven.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kristopher was great! My five year old lab is high energy and not for everyone and he was happy to take her for a very long day for me. When I picked her up she was happy and tired. Plan on using Kristopher again!”
“Christopher was great! He was very flexible and patient with me when I had an unexpected event come up right before he was supposed to take care of my doggie girl. When he did end up watching her, I know she got lots of love. She has major anxiety issues and he was patient with her and did his best to comfort her. Thanks Christopher!”
“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”
“Margaret was absolutely wonderful! Her home setup was perfect, with a big well-fenced in back yard. I received updates throughout the overnight stay, and my pup was happy and wiped from playing the entire time! We can't wait to see Margaret again.”
“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!”
About: I’m a work from home PhD student with one dog and one cat. I’d love to board or day care your doggo. I will be home with your dog for their entire stay. I’ll treat your dog as my own: giving them frequent potty breaks, a daily long walk, and lots of scritches. My Pom Ellie would love to have a friend who visits! I have several rooms and can separate your dog for meals, if needed. My dog is very much a food-hunter so our home is kept safe from doggies getting in to anything not meant for them. I only sit one dog at a time. You’ll get lots of photos and updates! 🤍 I run a business that is fully online from my home, and I am also a PhD student. So, I am always home and will be with your dog unless I have to run an errand. We take one longer walk per day and have many potty breaks otherwise (every 2-4 hours). Meals will happen on the schedule you describe. I have a Pomeranian here but she can be separated if your dog has special eating needs. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and in bed. Lots of toys around and my Pom will be so happy to have a friend to play with.
“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 💞”
“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!”
“Cynthia was great! She sent us a photo in the first hour of the stay letting us know that Laika was doing well, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Laika looked like she had a great time, came back home and was just her normal self! Cynthia was very caring and thoughtful throughout the experience, and I'd recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young around the neighborhood and for family members. I have stayed overnight for dog owners and spent weeks caring for their pups. I’m a dog lover, and I find ways to keep them busy, such as playing with them and taking them on walks. I’m a college student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I can provide overnight care and make a few daily visits to check up on them. I’m familiar with dog sitting in other homes, and I will keep your home clean and respectful. I’m great at communicating and love to send photos of your pups while your gone to keep you connected with them!
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been taking care of animals most my life. I am a trusted and reliable pet sitter/friend for many of my friends and family. I do not have pets currently, so this fills my animal cup 💕. I’m currently working from home, so have plenty of time to be with your pet during the week, evenings and weekends. My schedule is flexible so we can get great play and walk time in. I live in an apartment that is safe and secure. While I don’t have a yard, this just means more walks and time playing at the park. I can crate pets as needed, but prefer they have the space to be comfortable in my place. I have a 13yo who is with me part time but is comfortable with animals.
“Very impressed with the genuine care and communication from Zo. My dog Bodhi can be rather anxious, so I was rather worried about how he would do meeting Zo for the first time. I had visions of him pacing around and barking. Instead I received pictures of him totally chilled out, relaxing and napping in the sunshine Highly recommend.”

“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.”
“Felicia has been walking Mocha regularly for a few weeks now and we have nothing but glowing reviews! She is an excellent communicator and very in tune with our Mocha and building trust with a nervous pup. Recently, our dog has been recovering from an injury and Felicia has done such a great job adjusting her activities with Mocha to fit her needs right now 😊”
“Quick responses and great communication. It is very appreciated that Lyle was available at the last minute and showed up on time plus was patient to chat then take Gretta for an immediate walk. We both appreciate you Lyle and look forward to using your services again soon”
“Jordan took really good care of our dog. My dog has a missing toe and needs to wear a boot and Jordan was very careful about that before he took him on a nice neighborhood walk.”
“Ursula is the best! She has walked my dog twice since my injury. She confirms walks very quickly and has great availability. She can handle my dog reactive pup :)”
“Tommy has been incredible with walking our dog Rudy! He is a great trainer and reinforces good behavior with our dog. Our dog also gets very excited for the walks.”
About: I grew up in a bustling home with a Pomeranian mix, an Aussie, and two cats. I have fostered dogs and some experience with reactivity training. I have experience pet sitting for family. I recently moved to Portland after graduating college, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to availability and am welcoming any breaks from the job application process. I am always alert to the pup and our surrounds to catch any hiccups before they might happen. In past dog training sessions, I learned a lot of skills like safety holds and how to swiftly redirect a dog.
About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
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.
“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Sidra! They have been so amazingly kind and patient with my high anxiety pup. You can definitely tell Sidra has lots of knowledge and experience with all types of dogs. Sidra has also been great at sending daily updates along with a picture after walks.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child, having grown up with cats and walking dogs in my neighborhood. Nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals! I have two cats of my own and first began pet sitting on Rover in 2021. I'm an enthusiastic, responsible, and punctual sitter, and I'm happy to accommodate you and your pet's unique needs. Whether it's a long hike to tire out your dog, a cat snuggle party, or a quick neighborhood loop, I'm eager and prepared to love your pet as if they were my own. Because I have to arrange care for my own cats whenever I leave town, I understand the responsibility of trusting someone else with your pets. I take earning that trust (with both humans and animals!) seriously, and I know the immense relief of finding a pet sitter you can truly exhale with while you're away. In truth, you'll be doing me the favor by letting me spend time with your fur babies. :) I recently left my job at my nonprofit and am looking for summer work before I begin graduate school in late August. My schedule is flexible. I will tend to and adore your pets as if they are my own. I am responsible and attentive to detail and will be sure to follow any and all instructions you have for me. I love to work on training, tucker out your pups, or spend time cuddling (with both dogs and cats).

“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
“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.”
“Tammy was great - super responsive communicator, sent lots of updates, and was easy to work with to figure out logistics. We appreciate the great care she provided!”
“Sam is my go-to Rover whenever I need help with Angel, and I can’t recommend her enough! She takes such amazing care of Angel, treating her like her own. When I travel, I’m always at ease knowing Angel is in great hands. I’ll always have nothing but great things to say about Sam. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Veronica was great! Our dog Perla is 1 year old and very active and playful. She was kept busy with Veronicas two dogs for 12 days, which Perla seem to enjoy very much. Veronica is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She kept us informed with pictures and videos. We will definitely use Veronica again.”
“It is nice to have people that are so good and caring with our "doesn't play well with others" dogs. Our two dogs were totally relaxed and happy for the two weeks in a safe and comfortable environment. Lots of love and cuddles and snoozing.”
“Jake was a natural with our hyper hound and took great care of him for over a week! We were able to relax while on vacation knowing that he was in great hands and had another pup, Jake's dog Zoey, to play with.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Dan has watched my lab, Sadie several times. He is always super responsive and flexible, and keeps me updated with cute pictures while we’re away. Sadie is always super excited to see him. It’s such a relief to be able to leave her in great hands.”
“Breann did a great job. My dog has some sensitivities, but Breann ensured she was comfortable and safe. She asked good questions during our meet and greet, which demonstrated critical thought toward safety and adjusting her effort to each dog. Breann has other dogs, both of whom had different tolerances for play than my higher energy, large hound. She managed them together well. She provided us with frequent photo updates, and would have been available if we needed anything. I recommend booking with her.”
“When we came to pick up Dory the next day she ran out to say hi and was ready to follow Hayleigh back in the house when she went to grab her bed. So safe to say Dory had a blast!”
“Archie and Ramona stayed with Allen for a few days, and they were clearly treated like family. He kept me updated with photos and little notes, which really helped me relax while I was away. When I picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly comfortable in their home. The house was clean and dog-friendly, and both pups settled in quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Christopher is the best! Our dog Holly had a wonderful (long) stay with Christopher, who made her feel absolutely at home and took her on lots of fun excursions, while keeping us in the loop about how she was doing the whole time. He was very attentive to her needs as a senior dog, and took excellent care of her while we were away.”
“Allison was great! So much so that my little guy will never want to come home. The communication was frequent and I felt that he was always in trusted hands. I would highly recommend!!”
“Kristen has watched Watson several times, and he’s always so happy to stay with her (and he never wants to leave when it's time to pick him up)! We really appreciate the photo updates and knowing he’s so well cared for. Thanks, Kristen!”
“We were thrilled with Abby’s excellent service over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We know our dog was loved and cared for. We will definitely use her again. Thanks, Abby!!”
“Kyle is great! Great communication and was willing to book last minute, saving our Christmas plans! Atlas had a great time, came home a tired pup. Sent pictures and I could see he was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“I have an anxious, sort of clingy senior dog, and this was the first time I've left her with a sitter rather than having the sitter stay at our house. But I learned over these 11 days that the clingy and anxious one is ME, and Kathy's updates assured me that Zara was on a relaxing vacation as much as we were. Kathy took wonderful care of Zara, and I know she was well doted on and cared for. Anytime we go out of town in the future, Kathy is who we're going to hit up first!”
“Bonnie was fantastic for my boy Abel! Plenty of updates and photos of walks, playtime, and naps. She made quick friends with him and made him feel right at home. Would happily book in the future!”
