“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.”
“Hayleigh took good care of Enigma for 19 days. She’s very happy that she has playmates at Hayleighs and a yard to roam around. We’ll definitely be back at her place next time we need dog boarding.”
“Hanlan went above and beyond what I expecting! We left our pug with her for 5 days and she was always sending cute pictures from his day. She took him on long walks, and the dog park multiple days. We really felt Bubz was left in amazing care, and would choose her again next time we go out of town!”
“This was Daisy’s second stay with Sarah, and she eagerly ran inside when we dropped her off, clearly happy to be back. She even cried as we drove away after picking her up. It's safe to say she had a great time. Sarah cared for her so lovingly, and we can’t thank her enough. We appreciated the daily photos, which brought us comfort, and she even sent Daisy home with a cute bandana and a goodie bag. It's obvious how much Sarah truly loves and cares for animals.”
“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)!”
“Anastasia is an amazing fur baby sitter. She sent us videos and adorable pictures of Kobe during is stay. We were rest assured Kobe was safe and in the right place. Anastasia’s place will always be Kobe’s home away from Home..thank you!!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Linda was an excellent sitter for our sometimes challenging dog. She kept him happy and entertained throughout the whole 5-day stay, including regular walks as well as visits to local off-leash areas and Sniffspots. She was also great with communication and sending photo and video updates. Eneldo already misses her and can't wait until we leave town again! We highly recommend Linda.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Gayle! She was so accommodating with my dog who stayed at her house for 6 days. I appreciated that she sent daily photos with detailed updates. My dog always looked happy and I can tell he loved his daily walks. He got along with their dogs as well. It was great to see him look so comfortable and happy. They have a big backyard perfect for dogs to run around and nice covered patio too. I especially loved seeing him cuddling with them on the couch. I will definitely book my dog with Gayle again.”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Pam (and Frank) Five Stars!! She has been absolutely Amazing to our easily stressed and anxious furry! Pam is attentive and caring to her needs! It is clear our furry loves spending time in her home, as she is always excited to visit after multiple overnights! Thank you both, we really appreciate you!”
“Cali just loves Gary and Carol. Her visits are always great. If you need any dog care I highly recommend them. I never have to worry when she is in there care.”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Allison goes above and beyond with Blu! She tailored her care to his needs and I can tell he really enjoyed staying with her such as refusing to sleep in his own bed 😆”
“Kristen is fantastic! This was the second time she cared for our dog Watson while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent, with thoughtful updates and great photos sent to us throughout his stay. Most importantly, Watson clearly loves spending time with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust!”

“Tiana did a wonderful job looking after our cat, including giving him some medications when it was needed. She gave us great updates on how he was doing (and some cute photos) and it was so good to know he was in good hands! She was also very flexible and understanding when it came to having to switch some of our dates around. Thanks!”
About: I've taken care of my own cats since I was six years old. They are my absolute favorite and I love how self sufficient and independent they can be. I have experience cleaning litter boxes and administering medication.
“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 :)”
“Kathy house-sat for our shy cat Duncan for the weekend. He took to her right away and enjoyed a weekend of snuggles. We appreciate that Kathy was able to watch Duncan on short notice and did an amazing job with him.”
“Thorough, conscientious, and caring--Angela took the time to get to know my cats' schedules and particular needs, kept me updated on each visit, responded quickly to my messages, and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I felt reassured and secure that the cats and house were in good hands! Thank you so much for taking care of my cat family over the holiday.”
“Any time I travel, I have complete faith that my furry little goofball is in the most capable of hands. She makes sure my cat gets engagement, and monitors food and water intake as well as litter box use closely. She takes great pics too!”
“I’m so grateful for the care and kindness that Melanie has given to my senior cat. It’s so comforting to get photos and see playtime visits when I’m traveling. I would highly recommend her.”
“Heather is an enthusiastic pet sitter! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a cat sitter on rover, but she fit the bill! Her own experience with special needs cats and her obvious love of them means I will be calling her back.”
“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”
“Madelyn K. is incredible. I have guinea pigs and chickens and she expertly took care of them, no problem. It's harder to find a sitter who will do "exotics". She gave our cat lots of love and even cleaned up some throw up! You'd be crazy not to book her for your pet care needs.”
“Amazing sitter, great communication, attentive and took notes and remembered everything! Kitties loved Joss right away, they warmed up much faster than prior sitters. Took plenty of adorable photos and videos that made me feel better being away. Highly recommend.”
“Kena did a great job at checking in on my cats while I was out of town. She communicated well and sent updates each day. I would definitely book again in the future!”
“Claire is exceptional. She has a breadth and depth of experience in taking care of your pet and house that makes this house-sitting and pet-sitting experience stress-free and enjoyable. We feel fortunate to have met and hired her.”
“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!”
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
“She took good care of my cats, followed instructions well and I didn't have to constantly check in to make sure my cats were ok. Great communication and Hayleigh was friendly. My cats seemed happy when I got home.”
About: All my life, friends and family have called me cat-like, and I get it. I get cats. I've been trusted to care for them through the years, because I understand their nature and know that they need us, despite their independent nature.

“Great first-time experience. So appreciate Anastasia's calm and warm manner with my pup. It was great to know that she was in good hands while I was at work, staying cool and getting some social playtime too! Thank you!”
“Hayleigh was great! I absolutely loved that she had other dogs in her home, so my two dogs had a bunch of new friends to play with. When I picked them up, I could tell they had a very fun and playful day. Will definitely be booking 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.”
“Major loves going to Doggie daycare. And working long hours as a nurse it is settling knowing I have someone who I can trust to look after him. He’s a Pomsky with a lot of energy. So when I get off a shift and take him home he is ready for bed from playing so much with other dogs at daycare. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“We are really pleased with our dog’s first stay with Peter and Missy! We appreciated being able to meet them and their sweet dog, Gunner, prior to booking with them. Peter and Missy seem very caring, conscientious and knowledgeable about dog care. After our dog’s visit, we were pleasantly surprised to receive information about our dog’s activities (e.g. map showing where he went on a walk, at what time and distance) and loved the photos! We appreciated them taking such great care of our dog!”
“Probably my favorite sitters ever. They were all so attentive Ghost and his behaviors and even while he developed a light allergy in his ears while I was still away, they offered to help clean them until I got back. Each day I felt safe and secure knowing he was going to be well taken care of along with getting all the snuggles and play time.”
“Margaret provides top- notch care for my pup! I bring my puppy to her for daycare while I'm at work, and I am so grateful to have chosen such a great place for her. Margaret is knowledgeable about dogs and provides focused care. Sloane is always very excited when we arrive, and spends the whole day playing with other dogs... she's also made best friends with Margaret's cat! It's truly been a great experience. I highly recommend Margaret and her care!”
“Julie and Barry are an amazing team ... quickly tuning into Tashi's personality and habits. When we came to pick him up, he was so relaxed and comfortable that he greeted us at the door as if we were visitors to his home, with Barry beside him. Clearly he was treated as family.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life — from horses to fish, and most importantly, dogs. For the past 2+ years I’ve been a foster with the Portland Dachshund Rescue, caring for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with medical needs. Through local dachshund meetups and rescue work, I’ve become known as a trusted safe space for small dogs in the Portland community. What sets me apart is the blend of heart and hands-on skills: • Experience with senior dogs, medical care, and even injections when needed. • Specialized understanding of dachshunds and other small breeds. • A home set up with secure fencing and stairs for tiny dogs’ safety. • The flexibility of working from home most days, with the option to bring pups to the office on others. I treat every guest like my own — with patience, love, and individualized care. Most days I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go into the office, but I can often bring a guest dog with me if needed, so they won’t be left alone. Because I only host up to two small dogs at a time (20 lbs and under), I can keep routines flexible — from regular potty breaks and short walks to cuddle breaks on the couch. My schedule is designed to give your pup a safe, consistent rhythm while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying at my townhome or I’m caring for them in yours, safety is always the top priority. My home is rescue-approved with secure fencing, pet stairs, and even an outdoor ramp in progress for tiny legs. Guests are always supervised, indoors and out. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys, and I’m happy to follow any security routines or send photos so you feel comfortable. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you, and a safe, happy experience for your pet.
“Jinx had a blast and it was great to get updates throughout the day. Since this was her first time at daycare and we haven’t spent much time apart, I was nervous, especially considering the virus going around. Cassie made me feel very comfortable that jinx was in safe hands and covering all the bases to make sure no one gets ill. Jinx can’t wait for her next visit”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Matt is so lovely and took great care of Lima. She came home tired and happy. It can be overwhelming to choose someone on here to watch your dog, I’m very glad we found Matt. Thank you!”
“I can’t recommend Kyle enough for dog boarding! It’s clear he’s enthusiastic about dogs. He sent photo updates throughout and gave great feedback about our dog during her stay. Would definitely board our dog with Kyle again!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up, I used to care for stray dogs in my neighborhood and even raised a puppy outside. After I started my own family, I continued looking after animals whenever I could. I adopted a Tibetan Mastiff mix and raised him for three years. Unfortunately, when we had to move, we weren't able to bring him with us, so he stayed with our relatives. Since then, I've continued helping animals in need. I cared for a stray rabbit for a short time until my neighbor adopted him, and I also looked after a stray cat that I became very attached to. Sadly, after I went away on a short vacation, she never came back. Now I foster animals in my home. So far, I've cared for an American Pit Bull mix and a small 5-week old black kitten for four weeks. Taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to give them a safe and caring place while they need it. I work from home and have flexible hours, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule around pet care. I’m able to provide attention, visits, and care throughout the day as needed, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I also like to go on walks at the nearby park, which is great for giving dogs exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routine, give them food and water on schedule, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. In my home, I provide a calm and clean environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I also make sure they are supervised and get plenty of attention and care. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully so their pet feels secure and cared for in their usual environment.
“Allen was very responsive from the time I booked a meet & greet to when he took care of my dog, Kau Kau. He also was very patient with her since she does have some separation anxiety and I appreciated that very much. I definitely would recommend Allen as a doggy daycare option. Thanks.”
“Lisa and Brian took great care of our pups, and had wonderful communication before and during care! The dogs were well supported in good hands, and we would be glad to return in the future!”
“Emma is wonderful and her doggy camp is the best. Our pups are always well taken care of and have a blast running around their big yard - this is especially wonderful for our high energy Boston terrier pups. They normally fall asleep on the ride home and we are so thankful!”

“I’m so glad I found Angela to help walk my very particular little cattle dog/chihuahua mix. He was getting too overstimulated at daycare and this has been a great switch. Angela is super communicative, sends great updates and pictures, and always makes sure Alfie has a fresh bowl of water and has settled down comfortably before she leaves. 🙂”
About: One of my passions in life is pets and caring for them. As a graduate from Carrington College in veterinary assisting I learned valuable skills such as understanding animal behavior, CPR, nail trims and administering medications. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, lizards, fish, frogs and feel comfortable with nearly any type of pet. What I bring to pet care is a strong connection to animals, I feel a sense of responsibility and need to care for them and be their new best friend. I will always talk to pets & their owners when I see them on a bus, walking down the street, or in an outside restaurant. I am vegan, as I feel that all animals should be treated well. I do not impose my views on anyone but am happy to talk about it and offer advice if asked. OUTSIDE REVIEWS Heather took care of my young and active miniature Australian Labradoodle Maggie for 3 nights. She stayed at my home and did an amazing job. I came home to a calm and happy dog and my house was just as I left it . Maggie loved her and she loved Maggie. I felt 100 % confident that she was in good hands. She has experience with animals, loves them and has even had vet tech training in the past. Previously, when I left Maggie with a sitter for 3 days she didn’t eat and lost a pound, but with Heather she was just as I left her. I was delighted. Heather gets 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 I am free just about any time and duration, and can go anywhere that Tri-Met can take me if it's an hour or less travel time. I will take your dog to a park if it's within walking distance, or walk around the neighborhood, or play/run around in the yard or house as well.
“Tiana has always taken excellent care of our animals, from walking and drop ins to week long housesitting. Our dogs and cat love and trust her implicitly, and are always so happy to have her stop by. You will not be disappointed with Tiana!”
“Kena was great with our difficult pit bull, she followed instructions well and problem solved when our dog would not listen well. When she left he was a tired mess and slept through the night!”
“Makenzie is amazing! She always includes tons of photos and is great at communicating around anything with the regular walks. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she immediately loved Makenzie. She has a great presence with dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“We got a new rescue who was struggling with trust and wouldn’t come out of her crate. Aislynn was very understanding and tried very hard to make her comfortable. She went above and beyond and really cares.”
“Madelyn was AMAZING!!! She took great care of our boys while we were out of town. She went above and beyond cleaning up after one of them had an accident (including a bath!!). We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again so much Madelyn!!”
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had family dogs growing up and had a dog of my own in my early twenties, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. Around 2020, friends and coworkers started asking me to house sit while they traveled, and that’s when I realized how much I genuinely enjoy caring for other people’s homes and especially thier pets. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities... from tiny Chihuahuas and miniature Poodles to Huskies, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans. I’ve also spent some time with cats, hamsters, bunnies, and lizards. Unfortunately I have retired for caring for cats due to allergies. I know that every dog is different. Some want to play nonstop, some love long walks, and others just want someone cuddles. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ve even helped reinforce basic training, taught a few fun tricks, and worked on some very simple behavioral habits when owners have appreciated. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is getting plenty of attention, exercise, affection, care until you’re back home. I’m currently a surgical technology student, and my classes are scheduled in the mornings, which means I’m available most afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and quality time with your pets. Trusting someone with your animal is a huge deal. I am big on personal integrity and respect. I know every pet is different, so I like to stick as closely as possible to the routine they’re already used to. Whether that means long walks, playtime in the yard, keeping up with feeding schedules, or just hanging out on the couch together, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my biggest priority. I’m especially careful on walks, pay attention to each dog’s personality and body language. This means, my phone is away… unless I sneak a really cute picture of your pup. I also know how important it is to trust the person staying in your home, so I’ll treat your space with respect and leave it just the way I found it. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same if someone was watching my dog. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away worry free.
About: I've been passionate about animal care ever since I started my first pet-sitting business at 15. I still remember my first clients: A family with an older cat and a family with two pomeranian puppies. While I love dogs and can take care of them, my specialty is feline friends! I absolutely love cats in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I'm there if your cat wants a long-term babysitter relationship or just a friendly person to fill the bowl and respect their need for personal space. I'm so excited to be getting back into the animal care business in Portland, Oregon! I'll be available for work after July 30th, 2024. Feel free to contact me any time if you think we may be a good match! In Seattle, I am available on Fridays and weekends. Once I move to Portland, my schedule is wide open for animal care. However, I may need to add some restrictions as I get settled into my new home and look at other work to supplement my income. I will be sure to update my schedule as appropriate. Feel free to communicate with me as your needs change as well! So much of my care is based on the animal themselves. My cat Betty is super playful and affectionate, so I make sure to schedule out play time for us every day. Some animals just want affection and cuddles, which I'm also happy to provide. Some of my more aloof customers prefer to be left alone, and I always respect their space. My number one priority for all animals is that they are comfortable and safe during my time with them.
About: I’ve had my fair share of petsitting and dog walking and I enjoyed it a lot. I also have had pets that I have cared for. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently unemployed and not going to school. I am open most days and times as well as some weekends. I have had many pets and have loved and cared for them. Currently I have a dog that I care for. I hope to take care of your pets as well.
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs ever since I was a teen. My family always had cats growing up but I would care for a lot of cats and dogs for friends and family. I currently have 1 cat named Wednesday and 1 dog named Korra. They are super friendly and would love to meet some new friends! I currently work full time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to be able to step away to walk or take care of an animal. I am open to boarding at my home and house sitting at yours! The animal always comes first, I will make sure to play and take care of your pet proactively and follow any custom instructions or medication needs appropriately and with great attention to detail. My animals get fresh water and food twice a day and my dog Korra regularly plays in our yard and loves to go for walks!
About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. My life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own pet services business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining kind, calm and confident when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the East/SE Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates in our one level, ranch style home, and dog run fencing in our large, fenced backyard. Open to small to small/medium dogs for boarding and daycare.
About: My name is Melanie and I am currently a college student and I would love to care of your pets. Growing up we had so many pets ranging from dogs to a bearded dragon (that we still have), so I would say I'm pretty good with pets and if there's a pet I never had before, I would be glad to learn how to care for them properly. I have some pets of my own but I would make sure that they will stay out the way when I bring yours home by having them stay in another room. When I'm house sitting I'll be glad to pick up after myself and keep things neat and tidy. I also can't wait to take your dog on adventures when walking.
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.

“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.”
“Hayleigh took good care of Enigma for 19 days. She’s very happy that she has playmates at Hayleighs and a yard to roam around. We’ll definitely be back at her place next time we need dog boarding.”
“This was Daisy’s second stay with Sarah, and she eagerly ran inside when we dropped her off, clearly happy to be back. She even cried as we drove away after picking her up. It's safe to say she had a great time. Sarah cared for her so lovingly, and we can’t thank her enough. We appreciated the daily photos, which brought us comfort, and she even sent Daisy home with a cute bandana and a goodie bag. It's obvious how much Sarah truly loves and cares for animals.”
“Anastasia is an amazing fur baby sitter. She sent us videos and adorable pictures of Kobe during is stay. We were rest assured Kobe was safe and in the right place. Anastasia’s place will always be Kobe’s home away from Home..thank you!!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“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.”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Cali just loves Gary and Carol. Her visits are always great. If you need any dog care I highly recommend them. I never have to worry when she is in there care.”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Kristen is fantastic! This was the second time she cared for our dog Watson while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent, with thoughtful updates and great photos sent to us throughout his stay. Most importantly, Watson clearly loves spending time with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust!”
“Leslie treated our senior dog as if she were hers. She provided periodic updates and went the extra mile when our dog Callie had an additional need. We highly recommend Leslie and now Callie has a new BFF in Leslie’s Lab Lilly!”
“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.”
“Breann did a great job. My dog has some sensitivities, but Breann ensured she was comfortable and safe. She asked good questions during our meet and greet, which demonstrated critical thought toward safety and adjusting her effort to each dog. Breann has other dogs, both of whom had different tolerances for play than my higher energy, large hound. She managed them together well. She provided us with frequent photo updates, and would have been available if we needed anything. I recommend booking with her.”
“Emily and Bowie were such amazing hosts. I know my pup Chommy had a great time and felt right at home. I really enjoyed all of the pictures and videos Emily sent along the way! :)”
“Becky was a new Rover to us and we couldn’t have been happier with how great she was with our Lucy girl. She provided lots of updates and pictures, even dressed her up in Christmas sweaters next to her Christmas tree. We felt very good about leaving our older dog in her care and will definitely be using Becky again for future dog care. Thanks Becky!”
“I left my pup with Kyle for a week long trip and the whole time felt assured that Tucker was in good hands and living his best life. Kyle took him on adventures, gave him snuggles and provided daily updates with pictures. He also has a fenced in backyard where my dog had the most fun laying in the sun! Defs would book with Kyle again!”
“Jenny was wonderful with our two dogs! She took great care of them making sure they had lots of activity and love! They came home completely exhausted and very happy. Jenny was able to accommodate their needs with their specialty food and medication, and even reached out to ensure they were doing well the next day after I brought them home. I will definitely reach out to Jenny again in the future!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were wonderful with our dog, Buddy. He took to them immediately at a meet and greet and subsequently stayed with them overnight. It was clear that they treated our dog with care and warmth. We enjoyed the images they sent to us. We will definitely use them again . Thank you for taking great care of him.”
