“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
“Kristen did an excellent job of taking care of our dog. She sent pictures daily and our dog really enjoyed spending time with her dog! We would definitely go to Kristen again. Thanks Kristen!”
“Sandy was so accommodating for our dogs stay: from providing us with flexibility regarding drop off and pick up, to caring for and providing updates on our very shy and nervous dog! I felt Noodles was well taken care of and enjoyed his time away from us hanging out with other small dogs. Would book again. Thank you Sandy!!”
“Emily took great care of our pup Mosley. Honestly, we couldn’t have found a better person to take care of him. She sent videos and pics the entire stay and it was obvious how happy he was with her, constant tail wagging. She gave him so much attention and her pup Bowie was a great buddy. We can’t possibly say how grateful we are to Emily, knowing our pup was happy, having fun spending time with Bowie, going on walks to running around in her yard to having a comfy window seat to observe the hood. We would not hesitate having Mosley stay with her again, it was such a relief to know he was in such good care and seeing all the quick clips of his tail wagging.”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”
“Gayle was very accommodating, communicative, and caring during the process of booking and taking care of our pups. We’re very thankful for her thoughtful and experienced approach to taking in our puppers for a long weekend. Very happy and definitely recommend!”
“Rosemary went above and beyond with our timid pup. She let him warm-up at his own pace and was calm and patient — she followed his lead. I won’t hesitate to leave Herbie with Rosemary again, she’s a gem!”
“Erin took such great care of Theo and gave us frequent photo updates on our little guy. He got along and I'm pretty sure made great friends with their dog as well. Overall really wonderful experience and would trust Erin to care for Theo again!”
“Leah & Chris were absolutely amazing, i was in communication with them the whole time and felt at peace leaving my dogs with them. Thank you guys so much 🐾🐾”
“Carrie was an amazing sitter for our pup. Super professional and also very obviously warm and caring. Communication and updates were excellent, she was super responsive. Would absolutely trust her to pupsit again.”
“Josh is a true dog lover and dogs know it immediately. He has twice watched our Boston Terrier, once in the form of visits to our house when a new pup, and most recently overnight at Josh’s house for almost a week. In both cases Doc had a wonderful time and was well cared for.”
“Michael is very attentive and our pups seem very happy to spend time with him. While they can sometimes be tentative with new people and places, they both are quite chill at drop off. This is our second time booking with Michael and will continue to!”
“Kristopher and his family did a wonderful job oc caring for Mochi. They are experienced and took time to learn about her specific needs prior to care. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing someone to take care of their fur baby and would use them again should the need arise. 5/5!”
“Our pups loved their stay with Hayleigh! We appreciated Hayleigh’s willingness to do a meet and greet before our first stay to ensure her home and pup were a good fit for Scout and Charley. Hayleigh was very responsive and we felt confident our pups were in good hands.”
“Amber provided excellent care. Otis had a great time! We wanted Otis to experience more socialization with other dogs and he had two days of fun and playing with Amber and her family. Her location is perfect for travel out of PDX.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Amanda and Jaime. Amanda was very communicative and friendly. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was clear my dog was very well cared for. They were also extremely helpful with accommodating a last minute request! I will certainly continue boarding with them in the future.”
“Anastasia is outstanding with our 8 month golden retriever puppy! She sends lots of photos and updates while we’re away, and our dog gets a LOT of playtime and exercise with other dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Noemi and her family were a perfect fit. They were thoughtful, caring and I'm pretty sure our Ella would have moved in. Ella came back happy, healthy and I could tell she had a great time. Will book again next time. Thanks Noemi (and fam)!”

“We were so fortunate to have Elaine drop in on our cat for four days while we were away. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, very compassionate, and of course super responsive and responsible. She left us such detailed messages which we really appreciated. Elaine is certainly a gem! Hazel thanks you. We thank you!”
“Devin has been great with my cat Piper. Piper can be finicky and not the easiest to take care of. Thanks for the communication with updates and being available for questions and concerns. I appreciate it.”
“I'd absolutely have Carrie watch Tucker again. She responded super fast, was very friendly and communicative, followed instructions perfectly and was just over all really enjoyable to work with.”
“Mary is AMAZING. She took excellent care of our two cats and went above and beyond with some unexpected tasks around the house that came up while we were away. I would HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Serena has watched my cat several times and she’s wonderful! She’s very responsive, attentive, and reliable. She even gets my shy cat out of her shell. I really appreciate her.”
“Shad is a responsible & kind dogsitter who takes time to make sure our dog is comfortable & gets some enrichment for the day while we are away. Highly recommend!”
“Josh is everything you want in an animal care person - reliable, thoughtful, genuine, caring, available, and excellent! We’ve partnered w him several times and they’ve all been great!”
“Helena was great! She was very communicative and kept me up to date on my cats. She even went above and beyond and dropped in an extra time as well as bringing a package I received up to my apartment for me! Will definitely use her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Lori is amazing! She was so kind and thoughtful, very communicative and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my cats with her. I didn’t experience the usual anxiety leaving them- I felt reassured they had someone that not only would meet their logistical needs but would also connect with them and give them love. I came home to happy cats!”
“Tiana is great, very responsive and good communication. It's such a relief to have a reliable sitter nearby who can feed and tend to our cats while we're away.”
“As a pet sitter myself on Rover myself, I was searching for someone who would care for my cat and home the way I do for others. After reviewing Athena’s reviews and seeing how my cat reacted to her at the meet and greet, I felt pretty confident. Wow - my snobby senior boy warmed up to her presence pretty darn quick. After traveling for 30 hours back home, it is honestly such a great feeling that our home and pet (and plants) were very well taken care of. I am thrilled to have found someone I now trust, and will 100% be calling her again on our next trip! Thank you so much Athena!”
“My cat was so well cared for that I don’t think he noticed I was gone for over a eeek! In addition to maintaining his food and water, Mindy and Daniel kept the litter box clean and dealt with an ant invasion in my kitchen! Mindy and my cat are now BFF’s!”
“John took a late booking to stay with our three cats for the weekend, and we are so pleased that he did! John was communicative in the booking process, scheduled a meet and greet that worked well for our schedule, came prepared, took notes, and immediately spoke cat language, putting us at ease. John gave fun updates, and enjoyed snuggles with our kitties. When we came home our kitties were relaxed and happy, clearly well cared for and attended to. The house was in great shape, respected and cared for. We will call on John again!”
“Makenzie was great!! Always communicative and played with Poe and took excellent pictures. My cat (Poe) is shy usually and warmed up to her pretty quickly! I’m definitely using her again in the future :)”
“Holly accommodated a same week request for cat sitting for 3 nights while we were out of town. Our cat was very well-cared for, I received daily updates and photos, and we came home to a very happy cat. Holly was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! .”
“Niki did hour long drop in visits for my cat Franny for almost 3 weeks over the holidays. She was professional, responsive and so sweet to my kitty. I appreciated her updates and was able to relax knowing that Franny was in good hands! I’d absolutely hire Niki again for any future pet sitting.”
“Amy took great care of our 2 cats on short notice. They're both super shy but they were already warming up to her at the meet n’ greet. She even double-scooped the litterbox (they love that)! Highly recommended!”
“Aaron stayed with my two cats for several days and took excellent care of them. He was attentive, communicative, and conscientious about their unique needs. I would definitely ask him to care for them again and highly recommend him!”

“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“Mark is so great! My dog has severe anxiety and separation anxiety, so I'm always worried about having people watch her since I know the type can very difficult for people to handle. I explained my dogs issues with Mark and did a meet and greet, he was very friendly and more than happy to accommodate my sweet dog. Apparently she did very well and they went on some great walkies. :)”
“Michael was a lifesaver today on Super short notice (my sitter cancelled last minute) he was very quick to reply, extremely friendly and professional, but best of all.. my dogs absolutely Loved him. I have an English bulldog w anxiety/separation issues and a mix doodle who is shy and full of energy at the same time. When I picked them up both were happy and my bulldog ran back for more scratches and play. That said everything i needed to know.. Will Def be rebooking next time I'm in town. Thank you again Michael!!”
“Anastasia was an amazing caretaker for our puppy! We last minute needed to find a sitter and she was able to accommodate. She was very easy to communicate with, and provided lots of photos and updates. It helped ease our minds leaving our puppy with someone for the first time. Would definitely recommend!”
“arlo had so much fun playing in the huge yard and i felt confident that he was safe and well taken care of with allen. i got lots of pictures and videos throughout the day that assured me he was thriving :)”
“First time getting a dog sitter and using Rover. Rosanna was very helpful and sent pics and updates throughout the day. She was flexible with drop off times and helpful with this new process. Daisy seemed to enjoy her day and was so tuckered out! Scheduling another day now and know there will be more in the future!”
“When my boyfriend picked Gizmo up he said he just seemed like he wanted to stay with Joanna. This is a big deal because he’s super attached to us and we were anxious about leaving him with someone new. Joanna posted a video of him during the day so I knew what he was up to and didn’t have to worry at all. Her house is set up for dogs to be comfortable with a lovely sunroom and nice big yard. Joanna had a good energy that I trusted to take good care of my special boy. I will def be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️”
“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!”
“Mindy and Daniel are absolutely delightful to work with and are so sweet and attentive with my anxious pup. They are quick and clear with communication and I feel so lucky to have found them for regular daycare!”
“Hayleigh was wonderful taking care of my pup! she can be a handle full sometimes but Hayleigh always has a positive attitude and my puppy gets excited when we pull up.”
“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.”
“My pup is always super relaxed and happy when we get him after a day with Brooke. There are always other adorable pups, a sweet kiddo, and lovely space. I’m grateful that I have the peace of mind to know he’s having a good time!!”
“Craig gave our pup the exercise and the attention she needs. She came home happy everyday! He also worked with her on her lease pulling and gave me some tips. Thanks Criag!”
“Margaret is so great with our energetic 1 year old pup! He absolutely loves going to her house for daycare and has now learned to be around cats, thanks to her magic "dog whisperer" kitty, and just loves playing with her dog, Rocky, and whoever else is there for daycare. She sends photos throughout the day and always gives a little synopsis at the end of the day which I really appreciate. Margaret also keeps watch and puts the kabosh on dominant behavior and I have noticed a difference in my dog's play after going to daycare there - he has never been aggressive but now he has less of the dominating tendencies he used to have and I really think this is owed to Margaret. I highly recommend her for daycare - we are so thankful we've found her on Rover!”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter for our dog Levi! He’s super nice, attentive, and made us feel at ease by sending us lots of picture updates throughout the day. Levi has special eating instructions, and Ryan followed them perfectly! We really appreciate the care and attention he gave Levi. He was clearly happy and comfortable!! We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future! 😊”
“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!”

She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!”
“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”
About: My friends and family and friend's and family's dogs are all happy when I take care of them. I have a calm energy that will put your pet at ease, but I'm also actively observant and ready to intervene in those rare circumstances requiring it. I do part-time software engineering on whatever schedule I want, thus I am available to take care of your pets any day of the week. Every pet has their own needs, and I aim to provide anything and everything that makes them happy. Photos and videos from every visit, no charge!
About: I've had dogs around me my whole life. I've walked all kinds of dogs from former farm dogs to petite min pins. I've walked dogs for friends before but it's been a while since I did so regularly, and I'd love the opportunity to do walks again. I have a very open schedule, I'm an artist on my own time but I almost always have daytime business hours open for walks and getting out in the sun. I'm a very patient person when it comes to animals and getting acquainted. I have no qualms about picking up after a dog and properly disposing of their deposits after our walks.
“so grateful we met! Tiana is very knowledgeable and truly takes the time to get to know you and your pet family members. I’m glad that my dogs have some new in their life that they can trust in cultivate a relationship with.”
“Jade was really great with my dog, Ember who can sometimes be reactive on walks. It was a relief to have someone who has a lot of knowledge and experience care for her while I'm at work, plus my pup loved her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Makenzie was great! She cared for my shy dog and he warmed up to her! Trusted her entering my apartment and keeping the keys! Would rebook in the future!”
“I was delighted with Asami’s interaction with my pup Nanner. It's undeniable that she has deep connection with animals. My dog took to her right away, I’m sure the treats she offered helped, but even before that Nanner was in love. After her long walk, Nanner sat by the door waiting for Asami to come back. We’ll be using Asami for our dog walks going forward and hopefully for dog sitting as well. Highly recommend this dog whisperer.”
“Loved Kira! Lana my golden retriever seemed like she really enjoyed her walks. I highly recommend!! Very communicative, sweet, & will take care of your fur babies!”
