“Paul (and Arnel) took great care of Rosie and provided me daily updates of all their adventures! She was in great hands and he was an excellent communicator! Loved all the pictures and news of her daily life.”

“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”

“I boarded my doggies for the first time and was nervous, but Kristopher made it so easy . He was so kind and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with him . Knowing my pets were safe and in good care made my trip a lot easier . I would definitely leave my dogs in his care again. Thank you Kristopher 🤗”

“Kyle treated our pups so well! I could tell they were comfortable with him right away. He sends updates about 1x a day, so not as frequent as I’m used to, but that is just a preference. Would recommend!”

“Rebel very much enjoyed her stay at Sandra's! She was exhausted and slept well once home. We will definitely be returning. I enjoyed the photos that we received too!”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen and the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Luna. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and professional—always quick to reply to messages and happy to answer any questions. While we were away, Kristen sent daily updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands made all the difference. We will absolutely ask Kristen to watch Luna again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Breann did an amazing job with my energetic poodle/shitzu mix! Yuzu was happy and playful & there was great communication throughout. I would 100% book with Breann again”

“Anastasia is a gem. She was warm, attentive and understanding of my Siberian Husky. She sent pictures and an update every day my doggo was in her care. Her dogs and child are friendly and accommodating. My dog had a great time! I highly recommend Anastasia.”

“Emily was amazing. I could tell Luna had such a fun and comfortable time. I loved all the picture and video updates. It makes me feel so much better going out of town knowing that Luna is safe, happy, and well cared for. I would definitely book with Emily again.”

“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”

“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!”

“Keelan and his wife were so wonderful to my baby boy Domino. They were communicative and flexible with my return from the Gorge Ampitheatre (you never know how much traffic there will be) they sent pics multiple times a day and based on the cuddles I saw in the photos I can tell Domino made himself at home with them and their two cute pups, Loki and Minty. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Highly recommend!”


“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!”

“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”

“I would absolutely recommend Mary for all pet sitting needs. We were on a three week long road trip, and Mary's dedication to care and communication while we were away significantly helped mitigate the anxiety of leaving our kitties for so long. Their happiness really shone through in all of the photo updates we received.”


“Makenzie was wonderful! She stepped in when another Rover had to cancel last minute. She really took good care of Chalcy, giving her lots of treats, chin-rubs, and playtime.”

“Elaine is a great cat sitter. Thoughtful messages updates, very cute photos which showed that she was playing with them on visits (versus just feeding them and leaving). Would definitely book again.”

“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!”


“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!”

“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.”


“Kira is awesome. Super communicative, prompt updates and cute pics. She took good care of my orange kitty over Christmas holiday and I'm very grateful. Highly recommended.”

“Tiana was great with our big scaredy cat! He’s hesitant with strangers but warmed up to her quickly and let her pet him. She sent sweet updates and photos daily. Couldn’t ask for more!”

“Lauren was a fantastic cater giver for our two cats. She sent daily updates and was very communicative. We knew our kitties were well taken care of while we were away.”

“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!”

“Serena is amazing with my senior cat who requires subcutaneous fluid treatment. Sweetums loves Serena even when she’s here to poke her with a needle. I trust her ability to properly administer treatment with care and compassion. Serena is very communicative. I highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a pet that requires special services like sub-q. Plus, she’s super nice!”

“Raphael took excellent care of Cherry while I was out of town and was very flexible with last minute requests. Thank you so much for keeping her comfortable and happy!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Allen was super communicative all day and sent me photos and updates throughout. He even worked on some leash training with her which I super appreciated and gave me some of his own personal tricks. I felt like Roo had a fun filled day with such good socialization with the other pups. I will definitely book again!”


“Margaret was absolutely wonderful! Her home setup was perfect, with a big well-fenced in back yard. I received updates throughout the overnight stay, and my pup was happy and wiped from playing the entire time! We can't wait to see Margaret again.”

“Kristopher was great! My five year old lab is high energy and not for everyone and he was happy to take her for a very long day for me. When I picked her up she was happy and tired. Plan on using Kristopher again!”

“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.”
“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 was great! He initiated a meet and greet - which I really appreciate as my dogg doesn't like to be left alone. Mark seemed comfortable with my dog. I would recommend him to my friends.”

“Chica always loves her days at Rosanna's! She perks up every every time I mention it. There's always something to do! Running in the yard, hunting, playing and getting cuddles on demand. It's a great vacation for Chica every week!”

“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!!”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I moved to Portland in 2004. My only requirement was that we live next to a dog park so that I could have a dog. My first dog a was a great Dane pitbull mix named Virgil. We got him out of shelter in Tacoma Washington. Then came Lucy, she was a Rottweiler that got dumped on the streets of Portland. At the time we still had two cats, Jack and Ernie. Then my father-in-law came to live with us with his yellow lab named Sabrina. Boy was it a houseful! We all learned together how to coexist. I was so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful pets. It was trying for sure, but we managed. As the years went by eventually we lost all of them. In 2014 I adopted Thelma a boxer mix who became my everything. I lost Thelma in November and I cannot bring myself to adopt again for a while, yet there is something missing. I need to be around animals. My partner and I have taken care of every type of dogs from the easy to the most difficult. We have taken care of puppies and seniors. Dogs that were needy and the highly independent ones. Right now, my partner and I are working opposite schedules. There will always be someone in the house. My availability is open to any schedule. I have a fenced backyard. My house is very dog friendly. It is all one floor. The whole house is open for pets. I can crate if preferred, but not necessary
“Veronica took excellent care of our 13.5 year old Penny Lane. She took her on a walk with her pups and sent multiple photos throughout the day which we so appreciated. Veronica is a conscientious person who understands dog behavior. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Veronica to look after Penny Lane again in the future. Thank you, Veronica!”

About: Work-at-home semi-retired dog lovers with a fenced yard! Our pup loves company as do we. We enjoy sharing our home with dog and people friendly dog guests. Our daily schedule includes caring for canine family members. We live in the rhythm of caring for a dog's daily needs. Flexible to meet each dog's needs. We have a fenced yard with lots of room for play and lounging around. Our daily routine includes plenty of time for walks and cuddling.
“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them again!!”

“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”

“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.”

“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.”

About: i don't have as much experience with dogs than i do with cats, but ive been around many in my life and can assure that i will give them the most care and love! i am a university student going back to school on the 16th of august, so i have a very free schedule to play and take car of all dogs and cats! i make sure i don't ever cross an animals boundaries, ensuring they are the most comfortable regardless if they are outgoing or shy. I want all animals to have the best treatment possible!
“Natasha is so wonderful! She has been nothing but patient, consistent, and persistent with my unpredictable dog. She has put extra time in to training sessions (with a professional trainer I hired) and has effectively put into practice what she learned during those sessions to better build her relationship with my dog. Her daily reports are always detailed and her communication is always timely. I wish we could take her with us when we move. Natasha has truly been a huge help, and is flexible with my ever changing schedule.”

“Kira is so communicative and easy to work with! She’s very through in the “rover cards” and I have so much peace of mind knowing my pup is being cared for by her.”


About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and affection they need while you're busy! From refreshing neighborhood walks to cozy backyard playtime and feeding, I make sure your pup's routine never misses a beat. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, and I have excellent availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I am reliable, punctual, and ready to help. I focus heavily on building a secure, stress-free experience for your pets. In your home, I ensure your pup or cat stays safely on their comfortable turf, following their exact feeding, potty, and exercise protocols. I am highly observant and proactive, ensuring that potential hazards are avoided during neighborhood walks and that your home is kept completely secure. Clear, honest communication and real-time photo updates are a standard part of how I build trust with every client.
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!
“Lauren has walked my dogs for a week and done a great job. She has followed through with all the directions (especially all of the safety concerns- key back where it’s supposed to go and the gate latched on the fence). My dogs seemed very happy with Lauren, and she is very good about communicating.”

“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 💕”

“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: In 2023, I was inspired to start volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society a few months after my dog Sully passed away. I am a dog walker and kennel buddy at OHS. I also take the high energy dogs out to the chip yards to get more play time outdoors at the shelter. I also have some experience taking care of my friends’ cats. They may have different needs as dogs, however, all animals deserve just as much love! I hope to meet and take care of your pets as I do see them as family! :) I am currently available after 2:30pm on the days that I work part-time and I am flexible on my days off. I am also happy to take care of your pets during the holidays or when you go on vacation! Although I am unable to board your pets, I can assure you that I have respect for other people’s living spaces. I have several Airbnb reviews that have proven my cleanliness and trust in hosts’ homes.
“Desiré is amazing!! She has been so awesome with my puppy and keeps me updated on the walks at all times and sends great pictures to reassure that my dog is being cared for!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Five stars for Melibea! She is prompt, reliable, flexible, and a natural with my dogs. My dogs are very different ages and have different exercise needs and she was unfazed, giving them great walks. One is also shy and he loved her immediately. It is such a relief to have them in her care! I can't recommend her highly enough.”

About: If you're looking for a petsitter that is communicative, responsive, patient, consistent, and experienced, you're at the right place! I have taken care of cats and dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and ages! I care about your pets and ensure that I offer the best service that I can. Before and after walks, I always make sure that your pets are hydrated. In my Rover cards, I provide detailed descriptions of my visit/stay with your pets! If you're working on training your pets, I'll update you on improvements and behavior. Rest assured, I've got you covered. I'm currently working part-time as I am also a remote designer. I aim to conduct visits/walks during the day with preference of weekdays - however, I can be flexible when need be! I always have a checklist for my visits to ensure that I've got all grounds covered especially if I am working with multiple pets in a visit. For multiple occasions, I've had to take care of 3 dogs/cats for a visit with different dietary plans and needs.
About: Exceptional pet care goes beyond feeding and walking—it’s about understanding behavior, respecting routines, and recognizing that every species has unique physical and emotional needs. My experience extends far beyond traditional dogs and cats. I have hands-on knowledge caring for reptiles, amphibians, birds, arachnids, insects, marsupials, and other exotic animals. From maintaining proper husbandry for snakes and geckos to understanding the environmental needs of frogs, birds, and invertebrates, I appreciate that specialized pets require precision, consistency, and an educated approach. I place a strong emphasis on species-appropriate nutrition, structured exercise, mental enrichment, and routine. I understand how quickly changes in diet, schedule, or environment can affect an animal’s health and behavior, so I follow every instruction with exceptional attention to detail. Whether your companion has a carefully measured raw diet, a strict medication schedule, specific handling preferences, or precise temperature and humidity requirements, I treat those standards as non-negotiable. I’m passionate about animal behavior and believe that trust is earned through patience, observation, and respect for each animal’s individual personality. Whether caring for an energetic working breed, a shy rescue cat, a senior pet, or an exotic species with specialized needs, I adapt my approach to help them feel secure, confident, and comfortable in their familiar environment. When you’re away, you’ll receive thoughtful updates with photos and detailed notes, giving you peace of mind that your pets are receiving attentive, professional care—not simply being supervised. If you’re looking for someone who values husbandry, nutrition, behavioral understanding, and meticulous attention to detail as much as you do, I would be honored to care for the animals that mean so much to your family.
