“Dee had a WONDERFUL time! Lajetta has a beautiful home environment, and our pup felt comfortable there immediately on our first meeting. Lajetta sent many photos, and plenty of assurance Dee was safe and having a nice time. She even came home smelling better than we dropped her off!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great with our pup Lemon. She’s very shy and takes a little bit to warm up, but she was cuddling with them in no time. They were very communicative and sent us updates so we were never worried. And Pepper is a perfect, well behaved playmate. :)”
“Lisa was kind and capable and asked all the right questions. Her house was tidy and ready for a wandering pup. She saw that my dog was feeling antsy at the start of his visit and took him for a walk to help him calm down a bit. She was easy to schedule with and got back to me quickly in general. I will definitely be booking additional stays with her!”
“Chris is a phenomenal person; thoughtful, meticulous, and clearly dedicated to providing the best possible experience for every dog in his care. His home is beautiful, well-maintained, and exceptionally dog-friendly. We were naturally eager to know how Benz was doing after we left, and Chris quickly put our minds at ease by sending us a photo of Benz happily playing in a pool he had set up in the backyard for the dogs. That simple gesture warmed our hearts tremendously and showed just how much he cares. We highly recommend Chris and would send Benz to stay with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Sandy did an amazing job of taking care of Cody. we will use her services any tme we take a vacation or are away. Toby had a great time, and it's really nice to be able to live your dog with someone that takes as good of care as we do. it means a lot. ”
“Amber and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobby! He was obviously very comfortable and received a lot of love and attention while there. The photo and video updates gave us a lot of confidence to relax, knowing he was in great hands and having his own vacation!”
“Juan was awesome with our boy Vandal! He took him on walks, went to the park, sent pictures, and gave him ALLLL the attention! We will definitely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you so much!!!”
“Heath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”
“Debbie, Spoiled our Golden retriever -Chloe. Chloe immediately felt at home with Debbie and her dog Sammy. We got daily update’s and picture’s . Debbie’s house has a great fenced back yard so the dogs can run and play. She has dog beds throughout the house and cool house on hot summer days for the dogs. Highly recommend Debbie and will continue to rebook with her in the future.”
“My furbabies were doing great with her. I love that she send pictures to us while we were far from them. She got 2 furbabies too but they got along the four of them! I will definitely use Jocelyn again as my dog sitter for my furbabies!”
“Paul and Arnell were the sweetest with my Bandit. Sent lots of pictures and are very responsive at communicating. Nice meet n greet and easy drop off/pickup. Bandit was definitely spoiled with these two!”
“Beatriz loved her stay!!! She was accepted into the 4-legged and 2-legged packs. Dawn provided the most loving care for Beatriz and sent me frequent photos and updates. I plan to be a returning client.”
“Brenda took good care of my puppy and it’s obvious she has a lot of experience, as her house is set up to manage dog stays on a regular basis. I especially appreciated the photo updates Brenda sent. It was my first time using Rover, so seeing pictures of my dog playing and sleeping really helped ease my mind.”
“As always, Holly is the best. Communication is great, lots of status updates, etc. We always feel good when our pup is in her hands - invaluable!!”
“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“Rosemary was incredible with my little dog - with high separation anxiety (Her “super power” is: crying!). She was very patient and understanding, taking the time to gain trust/build a bond with her. I was so grateful for the regular (and detailed) updates/chats - plus the many photos! Knowing my dog was in such caring hands is invaluable. Rosemary was also flexible with scheduling, and communication was great! She is a gem! Definitely would rebook and refer her!”
“Peanut had another great stay with Taylor and Liv! She's able to fully relax with them and enjoys spending time with them. It's such a relief to know she's with people who genuinely care about her and enjoy her company.”

“Emma was great! She came over every morning (very consistently) to feed, give pets and give our mostly indoor cat some outside time. We mentioned that if Peanut wants to go outside just keep eyes on her. Emma let Peanut bake in the sun and have some fresh air which is always a good thing and ushered her in when her time was up. We also bought a lot of stuff on Amazon Prime day and she brought in all our boxes, even big ones!”
“Courtney was so sweet and loving towards our cat that has a bit of a cattitude 😅 Our cat warmed up to Courtney quickly with her kind demeanor. So grateful for her checking in on our monster while we were away!”

“Once again... Bobby is the absolute best! He took such good care of our boy. He was so attentive and gave us a full report each day. We cannot recommend him enough!!”
“I’ve so enjoyed working with Alex and I’m sad to be leaving the St. John’s neighborhood. I can’t recommend him (and Ruby) highly enough, they’ve been great with my cat.”
“Tayla was amazing! She left detailed notes after each visit with tons of pictures. She was flexible, communicative, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. My cat can be timid around strangers at times but went up to Tayla immediately. I’d be happy to book her again :)”
“I wasn’t sure how this would work out but Byron kept me updated the whole time I was away and gave me the peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip, knowing my cat was being taken good care of. Thank you Byron!”
“Rachel is incredible. Such a professional. Made us feel totally at ease before our trip, and took exceptional care of our two boys. 10/10 we'll be calling on her again”
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve booked Rebecca several times to take of our cat. She always does an amazing job, is quick to communicate, and sends lots of pictures to help me cope with my kitty withdrawal when I’m away! It’s so nice having peace of mind when I travel knowing that my kitty is being well taken care of!!”
“Great drop in from Marcus as always. He is always available, responds quickly, arrives when he says he will, and always sends back great reports with lots of pictures. Thank you Marcus!”
“Carly is so great with our cats and always gives such sweet and reassuring updates. They were our first choice for a long international trip and took great care of Spike and Angel while we were gone. They were also super helpful with other tasks like trash and mail. They are truly a lovely human and we highly recommend them to any other cat parent!”
“Felicia did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was out of town. Her updates were always fun to read and reminded what characters they can be. She also included lots of pictures each visit which I loved. I was excited to open every message I received while I was away.”

“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”

About: (Please read my whole profile to make sure we are a good match! If you decide to request a booking, please provide the requested information about your dog, either on your Rover site or in your inquiry. Note: I provide the walk-only service exclusively in the Kenton neighborhood. Thank you!) I have owned dogs most of my life and spent my adolescence on a small family farm. I love dogsitting and live really near North Portland VCA should there ever be an emergency. If your dog is a good leash walker, they'll get at least two walks per day; otherwise, we'll see how it goes! There is opportunity for backyard play, but I depend on walking to ensure dogs get the movement they need. There are no pets in my house at this time, so as long as your dog gets along with people, the relationships should be OK! No chewers, please; I do not close crate doors. I am a retired teacher, so I am mostly home but do go out for a variety of reasons during the day or evening sometimes. I have a fenced yard and spend lots of time in it with dogs during decent weather. If your very big dog is non-reactive, I would love to host your very big dog. 🐶 (I do not board puppies but do walk puppies. Just please do not ask me to close the door on a crate.) Please ensure your dog is flea-free.
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!
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.

“Michelle was great with Hobbs, she took great care of him and it’s clear he loved being around her. She sent pics and videos to me throughout day, she’s great.”

“We had such a great first experience with Rover thanks to Shadie! She was extremely helpful and eased my mind with sending pictures and updates. My pup Kingsley had such a fun time, he was exhausted when he got home for the day. We will definitely book with Shadie again!”

About: My husband and I have had many years of experience with dogs. We have a rescue that we adopted a year and half ago. While we can't afford a second dog right now we would love to have more in our home! My husband and I both work from home. I do go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but he is always here. We are available 7 days a week currently. Beyond that we’re both homebodies who love to take our dog on long walks around the neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard with locked gates and one 20 lb female rescue pup to keep your dog company. We allow dogs on the furniture/bed, but we can also crate your dog if preferred. Our home is a single story with no stairs. Dogs will never be left alone together for safety purposes and will never be in backyard unsupervised. We can accommodate frequent bathroom breaks, but your dog must be potty trained.
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 have had pets my entire life, both dogs and cats, plus a few reptiles and fish along the way. I tend to be the ‘go-to’ friend who cares for pets when they go out of town. I have a gentle demeanor and try to meet your pet with whatever they need to feel safe and happy in the absence of their family. Finding comfort in knowing your pet is safe and cared for can be challenging and I would love to help ease some of that stress. I am a massage therapist with short and sweet work days, typically only gone for a few hrs at a time. With all this free time I would love to help care for your babes while you’re away. I currently have one dog, a mini Aussie, who loves being around dogs and could use a bestie to burn some energy with! We spend lots of time at dog parks, walks in the neighborhood, and snugs on the couch after a long day of running off the zoomies! I have a fenced backyard and plenty of toys to share! Our neighborhood is walking friendly, butted up to Columbia Park for a more relaxed walk if cars/people create some anxiety. I drive a Tacoma with a converted backseat made just for safe dog rides! Let’s roll down the windows and cruise!
About: We have taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs our whole lives. Both of us love the quirkiness of all pets, especially rescue doggos. My partner and I can be there for your pet, just as we are there for our dog 24/7. Between my partner and I, there will always be someone with eyes, love, and attention on your pets. We are very hands on and like to play with your pets. We will walk to the park, nap, watch TV, and listen to records together if that is what your dog wants!
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!
“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.”
“Emily walked my pup in the middle of the day for 3 weeks and made it so easy. She came to meet basil before and was lovely. She was very communicative and an amazing walker. Highly recommend.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She communicated with me daily, let me know when Jammer needed things, and she showed him so much love. That’s all I can ask for. She updated the rover walking cards regularly, which was so nice to see! 100% will be using her services in the future. Thank you Libby!!”
About: I have loved taking care of dogs ever since I was little. I even started a dog walking business in my neighborhood at the age of 8! Ever since then, I have picked up dog and house sitting jobs, because I enjoy doing so. Every case of pet sitting has gone well and you would hear nothing but positive feedback from those I have sat for. I have had many jobs near me, due to word of mouth, and it's something I'd like to continue. It doesn't take much to convince me to spend time with animals! I am very responsible, and know how important pets are to people. I work a hybrid job so I have lots of flexibility and time to be with your pets. The times that I do work in person is not for any longer than a couple hours. Your animals will be in great hands. I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is very open to take care of your pets whenever they need! I am very flexible. I am very courteous of others' homes and make sure to always return it as found. I always clean up after myself and the pets, and can take care of any aspect of the home that you need (ex: mail, plants, litterboxes, etc.)
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.

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.
“Don is absolutely the best! I can't imagine a better sitter for our Maverick. He enjoys playing with Hunter, going on walks, and cuddling with Melody. We always feel completely comfortable when Maverick stays with Don and that is a huge relief....knowing that our little guy is well cared for!”
“Elaine is fantastic! My dog was very comfortable staying at her house for a few days while I was away. She sent me pictures and updates every day and my pup came back happy. I'd book with Elaine again in a heartbeat.”
“We love having Kate as a sitter. The dogs are so well taken care of, even when they are high energy and have high maintenance medical regimens :) We got lots of updates and photos which are always appreciated. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.
“Bryan watched our two dogs for a week and we would definitely use him again. This was the first time we've boarded one of our dogs since we rescued him and Bryan was great with him. He can be very reactive to other dogs and people and Bryan accommodated him so he was comfortable. Our other dog is older and enjoyed being able to chill on the couch. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were both well taken care of.”
“I needed a great sitter for my 6 month old puppy on short notice and Shadie met with us right away. I wanted my puppy to play with other dogs and Shadie has the perfect ones for that. She took wonderful care of Onyx for Five days. Shadie is very experienced with dogs and I’m so glad she is doing this work. I definitely recommend her for watching over your puppy or dog. I will seek her out again for Onyx’s next stay. Thank you Shadie for Keeping Onyx safe and entertained and for my peace of mind.”
