“Lajetta was an amazing sitter for our doggy. She is super kind and loving. She made sure to keep us updated and sent lots of photos! I would definitely use her services again!”

“Christopher has a great yard for dogs to play in and I enjoyed the photos and videos he sent during our dog's stay with him. He seems insightful of dogs' communication and was able to handle our dog's protectiveness around meal times. I really appreciated Chris' communication and that there weren't a lot of other dogs there at the same time so I didn't have to worry about unknown dog group dynamics. I will gladly book with him again in the future.”

All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“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!”
“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”

“Evita was incredible! She watched Miso while I had a 12hr shift at work, and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up time. She sent lots of updates and was very understanding when my nervous dog wouldn’t stop barking in the morning. 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time animal lover offering boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and a calm, confident cat who are both very used to being around other animals. They help create a relaxed, safe environment for visiting pets. I treat every pet like my own—whether that means playtime, walks, or just giving them a calm space to relax. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities, and I can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free. I’m currently building my client base, so I’m very flexible and available—including last-minute bookings. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I do pet sitting full-time, so I’m able to provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, including availability for many last-minute bookings. I focus on creating a calm, structured, and stress-free environment where pets can settle in comfortably. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and individual needs to help every pet feel secure while they’re away from home. I can easily separate pets when needed and always prioritize safe introductions, supervision, and a clean environment. I also have a fully fenced in backyard.
“Wonderful, wonderful dog sitter! She was incredibly kind to my dog! Her two dogs were adorable and were great for nervous, first time in someone else’s home dogs (my dog). She took them on frequent walks, communicative about eating, treats, potty, and nap time and sent many pictures. I’d recommend her to anyone with small-medium dogs that need somewhere to go either sitting or boarding. One issue I faced which wasn’t a huge deal, was in the middle of my reservation the rate of sitting increased to almost double the initial rate I paid for. My intial booking was 15/day and I asked for one more day of sitting, and the entire reservation was modified to 25/day. It caught me off guard since it was the middle of the week and I was caught off guard with the new price. The service was worth the new rate, just wanted transparency there.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have a great deal of experience pet sitting for friends and family members. I have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds, including puppies, seniors, and everyone in between! I am currently home from college for summer break and have full availability for overnight stays, boarding, walks, and more. I am currently looking for a part time job so daytime availability may change. I have two friendly dogs of my own to keep your dog company, as well as a large fenced in backyard. We love to stay active by frequenting numerous nearby parks and hiking in forest park!
“Michelle was great. She was able to help me last minute when I was in a pinch. My dog came home happy well fed and nicely tired from a fun trip to the park. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent me photos. I Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rodents and have taken care of them my whole life- training, washing, walking, playing, etc. I have booked many clients with Rover and feel very confident in my ability to gain trust from both humans and animals. I love animals with my whole heart and would love to help take care of yours! My schedule is currently open, so I can provide pet care mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends as needed. I’m reliable and adaptable, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to meet their pets’ routines. If my schedule changes due to gaining a part-time job, I’ll update availability promptly. I would love to be an additional help to anyone in need of pet care 🐶🐱 I provide drop-in care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, cats, and other pets. I focus on building trust and keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for, while tailoring my approach to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer check-in, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and supported.
About: Grew up with pitbulls and cats in the house. I really enjoy being around them and they fit into my daily/weekly schedule extremely well. Im never away from the house for more than 4 hours and I walk for 1-3 hours everyday, I have the time to consistently walk the doggies 3-5x everyday. No dog will go without exercise when they stay with me, and if they like to be a couch potato that's ok too, I accommodate to any activity/energy level!
“Michelle took such great care of our puppy. I wish I could give more than five stars. Highly recommend and she will be my first choice for future dog sitting.”
“Took my 3 year old female GSD to Allen’s for daycare and had a good first time experience. Got to meet the other dogs and see her interact with them. Lots of photos and videos throughout the day, which really helps you feel at ease for a first time drop off. Good to know the dogs are running around getting their exercise. We plan to continue using Allen’s services.”

“Wow! Bobby is wonderful! Truly kind, above and beyond thoughtful, responsible, enthusiastic, and clearly a dog whisperer! I so appreciate just how much he cared for my pup and can’t wait to have him back again! What a gift!”
“As a new dog dad and Rover app user, I was nervous about the last minute walks that I had to schedule. Luckily Byron was there to save the day and provide my pup the much needed exercise and attention he very much needed. Great professional communication and understanding. Highly recommend Byron!”
“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”
“Alex was an amazing dog walker for the year Toby and I lived in St.Johns, he went above and beyond, was able to walk Toby last minute if I needed and always made sure Toby had an amazing time on the days I worked long hours. Toby will miss Alexander and Ruby! Highly recommend!”
About: Hey, I'm lauren. I've grown up around pets (have had them since I was little) and currently have two corgis and a rescue cat. I'd love to take care of your pets! I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and enjoy playing and walking them. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love portland and am familiar with the various neighborhoods. I am on time and responsible. I can also take care of cats, small animals. I'd love to hang out with you pup or kitty! Thanks for reading my profile. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Have a great day! Thanks! I currently work from home M-F and currently take my own pets for 3x daily walks. I’m happy to work with your pets existing schedule. I follow instructions carefully while respecting your pets personal boundaries. I make sure your pets are comfortable and loved. I’m happy to discuss specific needs in detail
About: I was raised as an animal lover in a home with two dogs, two cats, and one bearded dragon! My appreciation extends to creatures great and small -- I have performed some light farm-sitting. I have pet & house-sat since highschool and I feel comfortable and confident with: large dogs, reactive dogs, pets with special medication needs, and skittish or hostile cats. I want to make sure your pet is getting the care they need from me; I can give pets and comfort to a senior kitty, or make sure your pup has sniffed everything in a one mile radius! I'm currently working part time and I should have flexible availability for what service you're looking for. Please feel free to message me about any specifics you have questions about! I want to ensure your pet's routine stays as close to usual as possible so they are happy and healthy! When I've cared for reactive dogs, I did my best to walk routes that avoided potential triggers. To follow medication schedules, I will try my hardest to trick even the most suspicious pet into taking their medicine. I will take care of your pet as you'd like me to!
“Elizabeth has been wonderful with Poppy! Everything was so last minute and she's been accommodating, communicative, and I've felt incredibly comfortable and happy with leaving my pup in her care for walks.”
“Michael was great with the energy of our big lab, and he was easy to plan and communicate with. We had a happy, nicely tired-out pup after their time together, which is JUST what we needed. Many thanks to Michael.”
About: I am an open and frequent communicator and I send multiple pet pics a day! I am also able to administer medication as needed and abide by a specific feeding schedule. My goal is to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for both pet and owner alike 🧘♀️🐾 I have availability to go on walks after 5 pm. For house sitting, I am available in the morning before 9 am and again after 5 pm. Open availability on the weekends. Cleanliness of the home is a priority to me, alongside addressing the needs of the pet within it. I am also able to follow specific home instructions/preferences (no shoes, etc). I understand i am a guest in the house and will operate as such!
About: I've been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was old enough to pour kibble and fill water bowls! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and friends and family with farms and ranches, giving me experience working with everything from lizards to horses. I love connecting with critters and ensuring their physical AND emotional needs stay a top priority. Experience includes: walks, structured playtime, behavioral observation and modification, photography, light grooming, medicine administration, and boarding. I work part-time with a lot of flexibility, and while I get time to interact with my friends' and neighbor's pets, I can always make time to add another set of paws to the mix. Typically, when providing care, I like to meet and greet in advance of whatever service--be it walks, check-ins, daycare, or overnights--to start off socializing with a particular pet on the right foot. I also ask for typical routines (including dietary particulars and medicine), off-limits areas and behaviors, as well as favorite toys, games, and treats! I always bring a few things to keep myself occupied in case of pets who like to do their own thing, but usually a lot of the time is spent directly supporting your companion through play, feeding, and snuggles!
About: Hi! I’m Olivia! I am new to Rover, but have grown up helping my family care for both dogs and cats! I have experience volunteering at my hometowns humane society! I currently have a kitten of my own, but I adore both dogs and cats! I would love to get to know your animals and what the best care for them looks like! I offer both dog walking and drop ins for dogs and cats. Please reach out with any questions! I have flexible scheduling through the summer! During the school year I am in a masters program, but have scheduling around my classes! I want to be available during the best times for your families needs! I always want to make sure that everyone is safe and comfortable! I will be sure to always care for your pets and space with respect and to ensure that your pets are getting the care they need
About: I’ve taken care of all animals since a young age. I strive to be someone reliable that you can count on and trust with your babies! I have a very flexible schedule since I have my own business and would be more than willing to help other people out with their pet care needs and would make sure to be reliable and always communicate! Making sure that the fur babies have love and feel safe with me is most important so gaining that animals trust. I am a big spoiler and love to play with them and cuddle them! I have a dog of my own so I have experience in everything. Feeding, walking, administering medication, etc…. And also taking to appointments!
“Kate was so sweet and personable! She genuinely has a love for dogs and treated my furbaby as if he was her own! :) She is also very responsive and professional and we truly appreciate her!”
About: My name is Bri. I'm currently a student at Portland State University. I'm studying Arts and Letters and am looking forward to graduating in the next year. With the exception of this current year, I've lived with a dog all my life. I am without a doubt a "dog person". As a child, one of my favorite memories was talking my dog for a run around the neighborhood. I would ride my bike and let me dog run along with me. Most of my experience is working with big dogs, but i believe little dogs are great too! I'm looking forward to working as a dog walker because of the flexible schedule. I'm in class on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the time I'm not in class I can spend walking dogs.
“Sydney is terrific: always on time, communicative, and otherwise professional. She handled our pup with care, and he always looked forward to his walks with her. He invariably came back with tail wagging. Couldn't recommend her enough.”

We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since a young age and have recently adopted a Great Pyrenees mix that has taken many hours of training and desensitizing to the world due to his difficult prior life. I adore my interactions with dogs and will treat them as if they are my own. I am currently not working but will be going back to work part-time over the next couple months. Right now my schedule is open and I spend most my time with my dog at home or socializing/playing with him on a friend's property with many different types of dogs. I have a yard with a 4 foot fence lining one side, 6 foot along the rest and a two story house with a basement. My rescue dog gets along great with other dogs and would love to have the company. I have many toys and games for dogs that come over as well as a dog friendly neighborhood and parks to walk in.
“Our dog had such a great stay with Don! We got pictures sent to us a couple times a day and our dog looked happy and well exercised. He was so happy to play and have walks with Don and his dog Cody. We will definitely rebook!”
“We are incredibly grateful for Araceli for watching our two pups! It’s our 2nd boarding experience with her - 1st for our 5-month old - and they were well taken care of. Def one of the best Rover experiences we’ve had”
“Elaine was able to take my August over Thanksgiving. She sent pictures and updates. August was happy when I picked him up, not the least bit anxious or over-stimulated. That's perfect! I would recommend Elaine for your dog's stay.”
“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 💜”
“Ching yin, was an awesome host for Addie! It was a short notice booking but she and her husband were very flexible. Very responsive and frequent updates were great and appreciated. Would book again!”
“My dog had an awesome time with Brittany and I would definitely seek her services out again. I have a German Shepard/cattle dog mix so she needs a lot of attention and playtime and Brittany handled her perfectly. She’s very communicative throughout the entire process.”
“Nancy took great care of my Ollie and was very responsive while I was away. She even did some training with him while she had him. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Zoe, Noah, and Marvin are the most caring and sweetest hosts - they feel more like a secondary family for our girl Mitzi than just a dog sitter. Our pup comes home clearly being loved and well cared for with plenty of walks, snuggles, play time, and naps. They are the best and we can’t recommend them enough”
