“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“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!”
“This was the first time we had left Jazzie and Sadie with Sandy but I am happy to say, they came home both tired and happy!! We are planning to leave them there for a much longer stay and feel confident that the girls will be well taken care of. Thank you Sandy!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Coconut was comfortable very quickly, which was a relief. Emily also sent us immediate feedback so we could start our vacation worry-free. We got lots and lots of pictures - so fun to see Coconut zooming around the yard or crashed out on Bowie's bed. Also- I made a mistake on the booking dates, paying for one extra night, and Emily caught the mistake and fixed it immediately. This was my best experience with Rover yet. If she's available, I wouldn't use anyone else!”
“Carrie was such a great sitter for our shy, older dog. Easy to communicate with and sent us lots of photos throughout the stay. It was very clear that our dog had a great time!! Would definitely recommend and hope we can book again for any future trips!”
“We were really nervous about our first boarding experience with our new puppy but Chris took such good care of her, it put our nerves to rest. She looked like she had such a good time in all of the photos he provided. Definitely recommend.”
“Jason’s family took great care of my dog— it’s especially special because I was nervous about having a dog sitter over the holidays. But Cosmo did great! And I appreciated getting little reportbacks and photos everyday. Thank you!”
“Erin took such fantastic care for my dog, Frodo while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates and photos. I can tell my dog was in a home with lots of love. I highly recommend you book with Erin and her family!”
“We're always happy with Breann's care and communication. Our dog, Ellie, is always happy to arrive, and we love all the pictures during her stay!”
“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!”
“Gayle took care of my dog with love and care, making sure she had the chance to do her favorite thing (fetch!) and keeping me updated along the way. I could tell by the details and photos Gayle was sharing that my dog felt comfortable even though it was her first time. It was very helpful to have had a meet & greet before booking to help get established and questions answered. Thank you Gayle & Michael!”
“Noemi went above and beyond to make our nervous small dogs comfortable. Lots of updates throughout the weekend, and they clearly had a great time during their stay with her.”
“My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Elaine was very communicative and so kind to my cats! Came home to two very happy kitties. I have one old cat who is on medication twice daily, which tends to make me nervous about leaving him alone. Elaine made it so easy to not be worried. Highly recommend her pet sitting!”
“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.”
“Alyssa was great! She watched our two cats and our fish while we were out of town. Communication was great, she showed up as expected, and was eager to catch some photos to share with us. Would highly recommend.”
“She was incredibly friendly and reassuring when she came for the intake. Our cat is a shy girl, so seeing pictures of Serena petting her and her eating is so amazing. We came home, and it was like we never left. Definitely coming to her again!”
“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!”
“It was such a relief to have Josh stopping by to check on our cat while we were out of town. He had great communication with us and a wonderful rapport with our pet from the very start. We appreciated how flexible he was in changing our booking and small touches like bringing our garbage can back in were a plus. We will definitely book again when the time comes!”
“So dedicated! We have a grumpy ol’ gal who Tiana kept trying to work with and took extra care to try and work with our old kitty. The other two cats did absolutely great with her! We felt very comfortable with Tiana giving our cat her meds and spending enough time with our kitties. Thank you so much!!”
“We absolutely loved having Makenzie check on our two cats for us. She went above and beyond what we asked for. She took plenty of pictures each day (litter box, water bowls, cats eating, brushing and playing) and gave great feedback on how our cats were doing. Not having to worry about our fur babies let us enjoy our vacation stress free. I would 100% rebook Makenzie for our next trip. I think our two cats would also agree. :)”
“Lori is fabulous- such a pleasant and lovely person who genuinely cares about the happiness of our pets. She was wonderful in spending time playing with our kitten who LOVES to play, and was gentle and thoughtful with our older more shy cat. I am so glad to have found her!”
“Holly was fantastic! She took great care of our cat Ellie while we were away. She gave great updates and could tell she really cares. We felt very relaxed knowing our cat was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Athena was amazing! She took great care of our cat, left us lots of updates and pictures, and left the house cleaner than it was before she got there. Would book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“Asami took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for a week! She is kind, professional, communicative, and sends fantastic updates and photos. I highly recommend her, and will book her services again in the future.”

“My dogs had a great day trip to Portland and stayed with Mark. He was very nice to work with. Quick response time too! Thanks so much for taking good care of Vladimir and Arthur!”
“My dogs and I love Anastasia! One of my dogs has been going to Anastasia for months. My other dog is a nervous guy and likes his alone time, so we usually leave him at home. But we decided to take him on a trial run to spend a day with Anastasia, and he made a new best friend!”
“Second visit with Rosanna. She was extremely flexible with adjusting the pick up time due to event delays. Love the pictures she send and feel confident our pup Daisy has a ton a fun and is well taken care of with her. So thankful we found Rosanna!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“My trepidatious puppy was very well cared for! Margaret sent me photos right away to show that she was settling in and by the end of the day she has made friends with not only the other dogs but the rest of the family too. My pup will be a regular visitor at Margaret’s!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️”
“Kris is a gracious caregiver who accommodates all of our particular needs. He has the perfect set-up for our challenging pup who doesn't take to unknown people but loves playing with other dogs more than anything. We will be booking again!”
“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!”

“Lisa & Brian are super nice, friendly people who kept our 3 pups for the day while we did some sightseeing on our way through Portland. They had great communication with us throughout the entire time, sent pics of the pups enjoying their yard and home. I would definitely use them again if I ever need a puppy daycare in Portland!”
“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!!”
“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”
“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.”

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

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!
“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.”
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.
“Kira is awesome! She is kind, communicates in a timely manner, and is great with our pup. We appreciated the photos of Caly, and the screenshot of her walking route. Looking forward to using her services!”
“Acacia is a responsive and clear communicator. She’s been very reliable, and I trust my dog to her care. He enjoys his walks with her a lot. I would recommend Acacia to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
About: I have had a dog in my house since the day I was born and have grown up taking care of them. I have puppy trained and helped care for my senior pets. I have dog sat for friends and neighbors and helped walk dogs when needed as well. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for a number of years and have learned how to work with a variety of types of dogs. I work an atypical schedule so I am working Fri-Tues. That means Weds & Thurs I have unlimited availability to spend with your pets! My settings may not reflect that accurately since the site clumps all weekdays together. I am able to take care of pets most hours of the days but afternoons are where I have the most free time! For house sitting I will spend all of my free time at the house and for other services we can discuss times based on my work schedule. I am available after 3pm on Tues & Fri, and after 5 on Sat & Sun with all day availability on Weds & Thurs. In your home I will care for your dogs as instructed and make sure to spend as much time with them as I possibly can. In my home we make sure to pay lots of attention to the dogs and their needs. Whatever the service is that you are requesting I will take the best care of your pets as possible.
“Allyson was terrific. She was on time. My dog is tired and happy. She walked him, played with him, and made sure he had what he needed. She made it easy and I’d trust her in my house any time.”
“Megan has been great and responds very quickly, even with short notices. My dog returns home happy after every walk. She is communicative regarding pick up/drop off times and updated availability. Hand offs have been easy breezy - I will recommend Megan to anyone.”
“Amazing dog walker. Jasper was on time and went above and beyond in caring for our pup. On an exceptionally rainy day they lent her a doggy rain jacket, and left us with a personally made pet portrait 💕”
About: Having lived with dogs for most of my life, I have experienced all age ranges – from rambunctious puppies to senior citizens. This has taught me a lot about day-to-day pet care, including walks, noticing body language, food, medication, and more. Additionally, I work part-time at a pet-friendly condo building. There, I meet dogs of all shapes and sizes. From shy and timid, to bold and outspoken, it’s a highlight of my shift to say hi to all my doggie friends. I also have experience pet-sitting cats and dogs. Please send me a message if you need help with your pet or have any questions! My current work schedule is gig based - so shoot me a message and I will promptly let you know if the time slot works! While I visit your pet, I will be empathetic, respect their boundaries, and let our friendship naturally grow over time. I love going on walks, so hopefully we will spend lots of time outside! Nevertheless, if your pet prefers indoors, that is fine with me. If I visit your property, I will treat it with utmost respect and care, as if it were my own. I always make sure to leave the property just as I found it. During my gap year away from university, there's no way I'd rather spend my time than with pets. I can't wait to meet yours!
“Devin helped me out with the last-minute booking to walk my dog from my hotel while I was working at an event. It was good to have peace of mind that he wasn’t stuck alone all day. She was responsive and flexible about the schedule.”

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.

I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Madeline and highly recommend her! She took great care of our dog, Jayda, during a stressful time for our family and made the whole process so much easier. Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!”

“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.”
“Anastasia did a FABULOUS job taking care of our puppy. She was very responsive to questions, was able to book us last minute, and our dog was in very good hands while we were away.”
“Sage was the perfect dog sitter for my 8 year old pomeranian. I will definitely use her again. Her expertise in dog training really helps because my dog can get quite aggressive when someone tries to leave the house, because he suffers from separation anxiety. My dog also requires being fed 3 times a day which can get quite difficult for someone who has children & pets if their own, which she has. I appreciate her and I will not have to think twice before hiring her again. Thank you Sage!”
“Amanda sent photos of Ollie from locals that suggested substantial walks which really made us happy because Ollie does so much better when exercised well. The warm and safe feeling we got from Amanda’s home made my separation anxiety MUCH better. Her flexibility on dropping off and picking up certainly helped too!!”
“My 10yo dog Blue had a wonderful first stay with Lindsay! Lindsay is kind, thoughtful, and asks great questions to better understand your dog’s personality & needs. I could tell Blue was being so well cared for & loved in Lindsay’s home. Lindsay sent great photo updates & was responsive/communicative. Big, beautiful yard too! Highly recommend Lindsay. ❤️”
