“Sandy took wonderful care of my dog, Albert, and kept me updated with great communication throughout his stay. Albert clearly enjoyed hanging out with other dogs his size, and I could tell he was well cared for. I’d absolutely book with Sandy again!”
“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!!”
“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!”

“A big thanks to Christopher, he made the whole process easy. We were able to relax on vacation knowing he was being cared for through updates and pictures. We definitely recommend him to others!”
“Our pups had such a great time with Taylor and Liv. We felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. They were comfortable with administering meds, managing their reactivity, and ensuring our pups were comfortable.”
“Madeline is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. My pup had so much fun, I was nervous leaving him with anyone, she communicated the entire time. Sent me photos and lets me know how my boy is doing. Will be booking for more than a week next time. House is amazing very well prepared for any dog she takes care of. I was very much at peace while on my vacation knowing my pup is in good hands.”
“Luna loved staying over! I recieved lots of pictures and updates throughout her time with Dahlia! They were super communicative and understanding when my flight was delayed!”
“Dan took wonderful care of my two Labradors especially during a hot spell. He was undaunted about one of them being a 11 month puppy . I appreciated his care and attention to them.”
“Evita was AMAZING! I would 10/10 recommend her to watch your fur baby. She sent us lots of picture updates while we were on vacay which was so sweet :’) And I could tell our little guy was well taken care of. Thanks again!”
“I was very excited to find Rosemary, after my original Rover sitter cancelled on me. We did a Meet and Greet beforehand, and Rosemary was so warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease, and assured that the dogs would be in good hands. From beginning to end, Rosemary was very communicative, responded quickly, and followed up when she said she would. She sent updates and pics of how the dogs were doing during their stay. Rosemary understood the needs of our dogs. We will definitely use Rosemary in the future. She is a breath of fresh air, and a great sitter!”
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.
“Sarah was wonderful, and I would absolutely book with her again. She took great care of my dog, Gummi, and he got along so well with her Pomeranian, Ellie. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos because they gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gummi was happy, having fun, and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“I am grateful to Keelan for his empathetic and kind care of Rosie. He was so thoughtful in approaching her health challenges and encouraging in providing her social opportunities appropriate for her timid personality. She had a most positive experience on all levels.”
“Heather was an incredible host to my little dog Bubba! She treated him like he was her own. She was willing to meet us before booking and show me her place. Her apartment was meticulous and pet friendly. She communicated often and shared cute pictures and updates daily. She has an adorable dog and cat that my dog enjoyed hanging out with. I know Bubba loved his time with them because he keeps trying to walk us back to her building when I take him out.”
“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!”
“Mossy was very cared for during her stay with Christine and Steven. She got frequent walks and even a bath! We would definitely have Mossy stay with Christine and Steven again.”
“Annika and John are wonderful! They took great care of my anxious and needy pup for a week and kept me in the loop with daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. They took note of all my dog’s needs and asked questions, I could tell they really cared. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and will happily rebook!”
“Very grateful to Holly and her family for taking such good care of our two little pups. They have a great time, were well cared for and exercised and came home happy and safe.”
“Jones had a wonderful stay with Vanessa! Her sweet dog Kento was a bonus for Jonesy. Kento is relaxed and patient amd a great companion. Vanessa sent several pictures each day of Jones's stay - so comforting and fun for this pet momma. We'll definitely be back for more fun and care with Vanessa!”

“Kayla was AMAZING as always. We try to use her every time we leave town. She goes above and beyond. I’m pretty sure she gives our animals more love and attention than we do. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Meg took great care of our kitty and took wonderful photos and notes of her visits. Our kitty would come running to the door to greet her. We came home to a happy cat. Meg was exceptionally responsive and communicative, we would definitely use her services again!”
“Maya was communicative, punctual and professional. My kitties and apartment were both well cared for. I will book with her again without hesitation.”
“John took care of everything we discussed perfectly. He was friendly and we're convinced our kitties were happier upon our return from our trip than other times. We appreciate his willingness to give the cats the love and care they needed while we were gone.”
“Carmen was so accommodating and kind when watching Ollie. Her communication was great and very appreciated, I would certainly have her watch my cat again. Thank you!!”
“Holden took such wonderful care of my sweet girl Bella while I was away. I appreciated how they gave her so much attention and admiration - it made me feel reassured that she was getting the right care & affection, beyond her basic needs.”
“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 :)”
“Kai is the best! Thank you for taking such good care of my girl, including giving her meds and keeping her well-fed. We’ll definitely book again, she adores you :)”
“Trace did a great job. I especially liked her updates as to what my kitty was doing, her attention to him and that she also did the dishes. I look forward to booking her again in the future. ✨🙂”
“This was my first time using Rover to find a cat sitter, and I feel so lucky to have chosen Molly. Her gentle and friendly demeanor was a great fit for my two cats. Molly came over for a meet ‘n’ greet and both my cats approached her without hesitation to say hello, with my senior kitty flopping on the rug next to her, purring as Molly petted her. Throughout my short vacation, Molly sent me photos and written updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I could see by the photos that both cats were happy and continuing their usual routines. When I returned from my trip, the kitties were happy to see me, but not clingy or needy, which showed me they got lots of love and attention while I was away. The house was tidy and overall Molly did a wonderful job. I will absolutely book her again in the future. She is trustworthy and caring. Paws up for Molly!”
“Briana was an amazing sitter for my cat. She is very communicative and was so attentive to my cat. Briana was easy to get a hold of and she replied very quickly. My cat adored her and loved playing with her. I would 1000% book her again!”
“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
About: My specialty is small nervous dogs that require special care, but I also board/sit larger dogs. The important thing is I’ll follow your instructions precisely on how to care for YOUR dog, so when you’re reunited it’s like you never left! :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your dog’s needs, whether they’re an early riser, require medication, regular exercise or anything else. I live down the street from a dog park. If you’re looking for house sitting I’m happy to do that as well, and will leave your place just as I found it!

“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!”
“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!”
“Chris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris again!”
“Penn was so happy so see Evita. He was making happy crying sounds when we approached Evita. Evita sent a regular update on Penn’s status and the cutest picture of him and NuNu.”
“I had to book with Emma in a very short time noticed due of a previous situation with another doggy day care person in Rover. I was very thankful and appreciative with Acadia and Emma for accepting my request and helping take care of my Gambit after explaining what has happened with my situation. I would totally 100 percent recommend them. Gambit instantly felt very comfortable with Acadia and their dog and they were keeping me updated about Gambit consistently. Thank you so much Acadia and Emma for taking care of my baby. Would definitely keep you in mind for next time.”
“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++”
“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”
“Leah was great. I had to leave my 8 week old puppy with a sitter in an emergency, and Leah was very communicative, kind, and generous. She met me right outside her building so we had no trouble finding her. We sat and chatted for a bit inside before I left for the day, so I felt comfortable before heading out. She even gave Frankie a new stuffed animal that he now can't sleep without because he loves it so much. She sent multiple texts and pictures while I was away, so I felt secure that Frankie was safe and sound.”
“While we were on a road trip and in Portland just for the day, Lyle watched our dog so we could go to OMSI and Powell’s, etc. We booked last minute and Lyle even helped us with directions to his place. Our dog was happy when we picked him up, but also had a ton of energy so I’m not sure if he got much exercise while there. But I’m glad he had a place to wait and potty breaks.”
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Emiline! I was very nervous to have someone else looking after my dog, but was immediately reassured at drop-off. Emiline took amazing care of my dog, sent a ton of updates throughout the day, and just went above and beyond in making my dog feel safe and secure. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”
“We are so incredibly happy to have found Signe! She took the time to meet us and patiently listened to all of our pup, Nikola's care instructions before the stay. She has been so loving and compassionate towards our (very anxious) doggo. She has made sure that Nikola gets the love and attention that he needs, and we could tell by Nikola's big smile when we picked him up from Signe. We will certainly be rebooking her!”
“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!”
“Barbara took great care of our dog! She took him for multiple walks and sent pictures. Kai was a happy boy when we picked him up and very relaxed. Great communication! Thank you! Cathy”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have also taken care of farm animals. I genuinely love animals. I am currently applying to PhD programs. I love the environment and animals and hope to be able to walk your dog! I live near a wonderful dog park and love my neighborhood. I also know how to make dogs feel comfortable as they meet new people and are exposed to others. I am flexible and am open to odd hours of the day. I also really believe in making pets feel as though they are at home and with their owners. Thank you for the opportunity to care after your doggo! I really look forward to meeting you and your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have my own pet at home, so caring for animals is already woven into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I build my schedule around making sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship, just as I do for my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, so my approach adjusts to each situation. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions to keep things familiar and low-stress. When pets stay in my home for boarding, I treat them like my own: safe spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervision throughout the day.

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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 sabbatical after several years working in tech, so I am available for your pet at all hours of the day! Staying in their own home is much less stressful for your pet than a trip to a boarding facility. Allow me to help your pet stretch their legs! I also have many years experience administering medication to grumpy cats, through my own grump, Moe.
“Brett was perfect for us. Maggie loved her filling in for her regular walker who was on vacation. They made lots of new dog friends and I could totally relax knowing they were safe and having fun.”
“Kayla has been a great addition to my pup’s life while I'm at work! She is very communicative and gives me great updates on my little lady after each walk. I have already rebooked with Kayla and will definitely continue to request her spend more time with my pup in the future.”
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“Mark was fantastic with Oso and was good at being firm but gentle. Oso seemed happy and pleasantly tired! Definitely would have Mark walk him again and would recommend Mark!”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.
“Carlie has been really awesome with dog walking for my pup, Gus, during the work day. Gus is reactive towards other 4-legged creatures, and Carlie has been doing a great job with giving him quality walks while managing their encounters with others. Carlie has also been consistent time-wise and reliable so far.”
“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 :)”
“Jess has been a fantastic and trustworthy dog walker for us for over two years. Rain or shine, she is reliable and a great friend to our dog, who can be triggered to other dogs while out on walks. I feel very comfortable with our dog in her care. I wouldn't use any other dog walker at this point!”
“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.”

“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!!”
“We had the best experience leaving Alfred with Josh! This was our first time leaving our senior dog with someone other than a friend and we were nervous but Josh made it very easy with daily updates, pictures, and videos. It was clear how happy and well taken care of Alfred was for the entire week we were gone. It made our trip 100x better because we knew Alfred was in such good hands and we could just enjoy ourselves. We will absolutely book with Josh again and cannot recommend 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!”
“Maggie took such incredible care of Indie! He had a great time going on walks, playing with her dog Ellie, and lounging around the home. Maggie gave us regular updates and was super communicative. Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Allen was easy to trust as he constantly reassured me that my anxious and energetic pup would have a great time. I received regular updates from Allen, and positive feedback on my dog's behavior and how he was doing with the other dogs. Allen was very accommodating!”
“Beatrix seemed to have had a wonderful time with Lisa! Lisa was very communicative and even helped out providing her own when I forgot to bring the batch I had premade for B's special food addition, saving me time of having to run home when I had to catch a flight. She provided pictures every day and made sure Beatrix was settled when dropping her off at my home and even sent a video. She checked in with me when Beatrix's arthritis was acting up before giving the "as needed" meds. I will definitely use Lisa again!”
“I highly recommend Alexis if you’re looking for a accommodating and caring sitter for your pets. She took care of our dog and cat and for about a week during which she sent daily photos and was very responsive.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat, Atlas, during the two weeks we were out of the country. We really appreciated your daily updates and the care and attention you gave him throughout his stay. Your cat room was delightful, and it was wonderful to know that Atlas felt so comfortable and happy while we were away. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely use your cat boarding services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy!”
“Christopher gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. He met Ted, our Aussiedoodle, the week before scheduled our trip. While we were gone, he housesat and gave Ted lots of attention. He sent us text messages daily with photos of their outings. The house looked great when we got home and Ted was pretty mellow.”
