“Abby had the best time at Lajetta'a house! She cannot wait for her next visit! Thank you for all the pictures during her stay so we could see all the fun she was having!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great with our pup Lemon. She’s very shy and takes a little bit to warm up, but she was cuddling with them in no time. They were very communicative and sent us updates so we were never worried. And Pepper is a perfect, well behaved playmate. :)”
“Barry is wonderful! Like many pet owners, we were so nervous leaving our almost 14 year old Callie behind for a few days. However, within our first meet and greet with Barry and Shaka we were comfortable, knowing Callie would be in good hands. Barry sent daily updates and pictures everyday. Allowing us to be more at ease on our trip. Communication was great as he was quick to respond and was very flexible with our drop off time, when we were running behind. Barry has experience with senior dogs, he was kind and understanding with all of Callie’s feeding and meds instructions. We could tell, Callie really enjoyed all the smells in the garden and the calm setting. We can’t say enough, other than we are so glad we found Barry and we would highly recommend him.”
“Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.”
“Bentley can get really nervous around new people but immediately warmed up to Sandy. He was exhausted when he came home so I knew he had a great time! I loved getting pictures of him while I was away! Sandy is wonderful!”
“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”
“Heath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”
“Dawn was great! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable in her house and around her dogs. She sent plenty of status of updates and pictures while watching my dog and my little guy was in great shape when I picked him up. Would definitely use again!”
“Our lil lady had a wonderful stay with Peter. Having her safe and happy is everything. We always know Peter and Trevon treat her like their own fur baby. We get so excited, when we receive the photos and updates from Peter. Another great stay.❤️”
“Chava is a life saver. I was feeling a bit uneasy about leaving my pup for a work trip. Chava made this process easy and quick. Chava communicated with me through the stay and even sent me a photo of my pup. Would rebook again whenever needed.”
“My dog Judy had a blast boarding with Chris, Bear and Cosmo. The accommodations were super dog friendly, with dog gates, doors, and especially the huge yard setup where the dogs had tons of space to run, play, and burn off energy. Judy got plenty of exercise and there was more than enough room for larger dogs to be comfortable too. Chris also took them to the great dog parks nearby, and Judy had a great time exploring there as well. It was also nice that all the dogs got along, which made everything feel easy and comfortable. Judy came home happy, tired, and had a great time during her stay. It was obvious she was being very well cared for and getting lots of attention the whole time. Thanks Chris!”
“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.”
“Debbie is very phenomenal sitter, I wouldn’t call her a sitter. She is a family to Neo (my dog), making him feel safe including her husband and her dog, and they all took him in as a seamless transition. I can go on vacation with ease and she send me tons of pictures where I feel included/aware of what he is doing. Thank you very much Debbie!”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”
“Rebecca is the only sitter I trust Stella with for an extended stay! She sent me frequent picture updates and I could tell she embraced Stella as part of her own pack, letting her sleep on the bed, giving her a take-home toy when she fell in love with a rubber chicken, even taking her to the Coast while I was away. So thankful we have Rebecca as Stella's sitter and boarder!”
“I was initially nervous to leave my little guy for a week while I went on vacation, but Jocelyn completely put me at ease! She was very flexible and communicative throughout the whole stay. Kailo looked like he had the best time with her and her two sweet dogs. I would love to book with her again in the future.”
“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”

“Lillian did a great job checking in on my resident and foster cat over Christmas. When we met, I could tell right away Lillian loves animals and is attentive to details. I highly recommend!”
“Great communicator! Welcomed a pre-sit call, and was prompt and swift to report out on kitty visits. And, Laitlin double checked an any details that needed clarifying :) Kaitlin left a trail of greenies to invite Paris out from under the couch🌸”
“It was so great to come home and see the cats and everything else had been so well taken care of. The communication with Melissa was great throughout our 18 days away. We especially loved Melissa's appreciations for each of our girls' uniqueness and personality. Melissa obviously is able to adapt to the situation she is in and make it a good experience for pets of all kinds. We look forward to engaging Melissa. again.”
“Courtney was so sweet and loving towards our cat that has a bit of a cattitude 😅 Our cat warmed up to Courtney quickly with her kind demeanor. So grateful for her checking in on our monster while we were away!”

“Alexander was very communicative and responded quickly to messages. This was my first time using him for cat-sitting with medication administration and I arrived home to a happy kitty so everything went great!”
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“Carly has been cat-sitting for us for over a year and they’re the best! Their communication is great and they always send thoughtful updates and sweet pictures of the cats while we’re away. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Asia conducted house visits for 8 days to feed and spend time with my cats, Lucy and Penny (the girls). Asia sent photos and updates after each visit so I could see the girls were happy and healthy. I liked looking at the photos before going to sleep so I had that warm fuzzy feeling as I drifted off. Asia was prompt with communication and receptive to my many schedule adjustments leading up to her visits. I recommend Asia for anyone needing a sitter and will certainly book with her again in he future.”

“Lajetta is the best! She frequently watches my dog and he gets so excited to see her and loves going over there. He usually doesn’t want to leave when I go pick him up. She does a great job caring for Tony.”
“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”
“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”
“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”
“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”

“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”
About: I adore all animals, available for drop-ins, walks, and puppy play dates with my dog. I’m currently self-training a wonderful psychiatric service dog, Sobek (still in training). Together we have taken a large number of classes, passed the CGC, volunteered with Oregon Humane Training, canine PT, and had a whole lot of fun along the way. I am familiar with positive reenforcement, force free, settle training, crate training, socialization, clicker training, agility and capturing calm behaviors. I have experience with animals who have mild to moderate mobility issues, puppies, senior and special needs, safe stretching/activity monitoring, and reactive body language. *I graduate from Karen Pryor Academy March 2027* and will be a certified dog trainer then. I’m happy to answer questions or assist you on your journey, teach your dog a thing or two, make suggestions or point you to my many trusted local resources. Inclusivity, flexibility, and honesty are some of my main core values. I am honest about my availability, knowledge and conduct. I’m also a former pro photographer and bound to take many cute photos. They/them, queer/trans affirming. I work from home so I am flexible depending on my meetings. I am available late afternoons and evenings unless otherwise noted in my schedule. I’m fairly organized and pet-proof my own home. I always treat other’s homes as if they were my own, meaning I pack out what I pack in and respect the boundaries of humans and pets who live there.
“Renae is the absolute best! She’s kind and flexible and a dog lover but also knowledgeable and intentional about how the pups interact. I know Beans is safe AND having a blast whenever he’s there!”
About: I have always had a dogs in my life. I went from growing up with dogs to getting my own dogs when I went off to college. They have been with me since up until recently when we had to put our dog penny down at age 16. Suddenly I find myself without a dog and it is very lonely, but I am not ready for a new permanent addition, so I am hoping to pet sit to still have dogs in my life. My husband and I both work from home, so we are around to give pets love and attention throughout the day. We do have 2 young children so it is important to us that your pet loves kids or is at least used to kids. We recently had to put our two elderly dogs down (14 and 16) so we really miss having dogs around the house but are not ready for a new permanent pet yet, so we are very excited about dog sitting. We have a fenced backyard, we love going for walks, and our kids would love to spend hours playing fetch if that's something your dog enjoys.
“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
“Charlie came home happy and calm. Michelle clearly provided him with a great atmosphere and Sunny clearly was a great play mate. He'll be back! Highly recommend Michelle and Sunny.”
“Parker had such a good time hanging out with Kimo. Kimo has such a chill space and lives close to a great park which was perfect for my senior pup. Kimo was very attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”
About: I'm Nicole, I'm a mom of a 6 year old golden retriever named Peach. I raised her from a puppy and I love her like my own child, she is such a blessing. We like to go to the park to play fetch or watch a movie and cuddle! All of my friends have pets nowadays so we are often trading pet watching throughout the year. I work remotely 8-4 PM M-F and have a lot of flexibility to do things around the house or run errands, so that includes taking care of extra pets. I live with my boyfriend, and we have no children. We have a house with a smaller backyard and live near Laurelhurst park. I work remotely at my house roughly 8-4pm M-F and have a lot of flexibility to take care of Peach and other animals. My weekends are usually filled with house projects, thrifting or getting out to an outdoor activity. My house has a couple of beds, couches and rugs for your pet to sprawl on. We have a smaller fenced yard where the dogs can use the restroom. I do have a crate if needed.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“Lillian is wonderful! I knew she was a good fit at our first interaction. The dogs loved her instantly as well. Very kind person and responsive. Highly recommend!”
About: We have taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs our whole lives. Both of us love the quirkiness of all pets, especially rescue doggos. My partner and I can be there for your pet, just as we are there for our dog 24/7. Between my partner and I, there will always be someone with eyes, love, and attention on your pets. We are very hands on and like to play with your pets. We will walk to the park, nap, watch TV, and listen to records together if that is what your dog wants!
“Bobby was great - super communicative, dog saavy and nothing but good vibes. He really went above and beyond by sending me lots of pics and a detailed summary of Charlie’s walk. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely contact Bobby again if I need dog walking or any other dog services.”
“Alex was very friendly and punctual. He took great care of my little two guys for a solid week and a half. The pictures were great and I was more than assured that my dogs not only were well taken care of, but were having a great time or there. Book Alex with full confidence.”
“Peter clearly loves dogs and is very affectionate with Pip, giving scratches & all the attention she asks for from a new friend while making sure to keep her safe.”
About: I've had dogs and loved animals my whole life, from small dogs to big active mutts. My current dog is a Lab/Border Collie who required ample training and needs lots of action to stay happy. I'm a freelance artist so my schedule is flexible, and i'd go for long walks everyday even if I didn't have my active dog. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals even if it's just sitting in the same room or active play. If your pup needs to be worn out, im happy to do it. If they just need someone to be near, I'm happy to do it. I am a freelance artist so I make my own schedule and I'm pretty flexible. I always have time for a midday session when most people are at work I have a fully fenced yard and lots of room to sniff and play ball, but I tend to go for long walks and to the park to play.
“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia! I am new to Rover, but have grown up helping my family care for both dogs and cats! I have experience volunteering at my hometowns humane society! I currently have a kitten of my own, but I adore both dogs and cats! I would love to get to know your animals and what the best care for them looks like! I offer both dog walking and drop ins for dogs and cats. Please reach out with any questions! I have flexible scheduling through the summer! During the school year I am in a masters program, but have scheduling around my classes! I want to be available during the best times for your families needs! I always want to make sure that everyone is safe and comfortable! I will be sure to always care for your pets and space with respect and to ensure that your pets are getting the care they need
About: I will admit that I acquire no previous professional experience, however, I think I can speak for all animal lovers when I say that it doesn't take much when it already comes so natural in the first place. Being around 4 dogs and 2 cats growing up has made it that much more comfortable and easier to sign up for Rover. From tending anxiety attacks and engaging in playful encouragement on zoomie runs, to simple walks and strolls and chill TV sessions, animals have always been the most versed, laid-back companions anyone could ask for. As of right now, I am available Monday, Tuesday, Friday through Sunday. Times varying from morning to late afternoon. Available boarding may range from any of these dates and timeframes, but please feel free to reach out if you need an emergency walk or visit! Baths, walks, scheduled feeding times and play is always within my routine when caring for fur babies. When I had my cats, feeding time was whenever a timer set off and played the New Girl intro. Silly, yes. However, very effective.
About: I work remotely with a flexible schedule and I would love to walk your dogs or stop in for a pop by visit to get them some attention. I have had dogs my whole life, often watch friends' and family members' dogs and have over 10 years of experience with dogs all shapes and sizes. I work remotely and am available to take care of pets throughout the day. First thing in the morning I take pups out for a walk before breakfast and then again during lunch as well as in the evening for a wind down walk. As I am home for work there are many moments for play and going out in the backyard. I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly dog who is obsessed with fetch. We walk often to the park and have a nice fenced backyard to hang out in.
About: I've always had cats and dogs family pets growing up so it's a part of my core memories. I'm experienced with senior dog and cat care as a result. I look at this as an welcome opportunity to support the families and people who care for their pets. I'm working from home so my schedule is flexible. Going out to the nearby park for a daily walk is a part of my routine so it would tie in nicely with dog walking. Because I'm currently renting I'm not able to have pets much to my disappointment. Part of the reason I wanted to explore this service is I might end up using it myself in future. Working from home allows me flexibility in time to spend more time attending to your pet as needed.
About: I grew up with a black lab for nearly 14 years as a child and come from a family of Labrador lovers. I now take care of my own gentle giant black lab who I got to train as a service animal myself. I also have experience with high-energy dogs and running off energy! I am very loving and passsionate person towards dogs, they love my ear and belly rubs and often love to cuddle if that's their thing! My favorite things to do with dogs is taking them for adventures to the park/forest, river/lakes and the snow during wintertime. I am no stranger to labrador breeds but also have experince with Shepard and border collie breeds the most, as well as many others here and there. I've had my fair share of sick dogs, whether it be ear infection to cancer and know the emotional roller coaster and/or hassle of giving medications and can show the dogs lots of empathy if this is something that would be needed. I always treat dogs like their my own and would want the best for your pup just like I would for my own girl! I work non-traditional hours which means I frequently have a lot of days off in a row and then work once a week with 12 hrs in one day. This means I get to spend a lot of one-on-one with my personal dog, providing lots of attention, walks to the park and even days at the river and wouldnt mind some more company from other dogs as well! I live in pet friendly Tiny home with a friendly yard to roam and play. My own dog loves to cuddle on my couch whenever and can certainly share the space with another dog. I do have a cooling mat and a separate pillow for my dog, so there is no shortage of comfy spaces. I love to cuddle with the pups when I can if that's their thing and giving them lots of attention while I care for them.
“Annika is fantastic. Our dog Wray, who suffers from separation anxiety, loves her and has stopped having accidents in the house since Annika has been walking her. She is extremely reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: Experienced dog breeder and trainer with decades of experience with animals of all kinds, from poultry to reptiles to furry house pets, birds, farm animals and livestock. I work from home full time and have two teenagers. I can host minimal or moderate attention needs dogs and more time intensive pup clients throughout the week. I have a fenced yard for quick potty breaks and live near a non-enclosed dog park. Two labradoodles live in the home for good company :). Both are fully vaccinated, flea treated, and socialized.

The accommodations were super dog friendly, with dog gates, doors, and especially the huge yard setup where the dogs had tons of space to run, play, and burn off energy. Judy got plenty of exercise and there was more than enough room for larger dogs to be comfortable too.

“They are the nicest people and treated Tom as if he was their own. They kept sending pics of Tom having the best time, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”
“My dog Bailey had a great time with Elaine and her menagerie. Lots of walks and many other dogs to play with. Elaine kept me updated on Bailey’s status and activities every day, including photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was traveling. Very convenient to Portland Airport, so I will definitely board here again next time I’m flying out of PDX.”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“Marta was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Rocky! She was reliable, a great communicator, and sent us frequent updates. Rocky seemed to have a blast and was very well cared for! Highly recommend Marta for any of your dog sitting needs!”
“Navi was The BEST! I love meeting people who really “get” how ridiculous dogs are in all the best ways. Great communication and I felt 100% confident with his care of our anxious muppet. Our dog made a new best friend. ❤️”
“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.”
“Ching yin, was an awesome host for Addie! It was a short notice booking but she and her husband were very flexible. Very responsive and frequent updates were great and appreciated. Would book again!”
“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I had three Black Labs over the years, and today I help care for our German Shepherd, Geo, who gets multiple walks every day and plenty of exercise. I also regularly care for my parents' dog while they're out of town, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. With my evening work schedule and my girlfriend's daytime schedule, someone is almost always home to provide care and attention. This allows us to maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Our family loves dogs, and the kids are always happy to offer gentle head scratches, belly rubs, and plenty of affection to dogs that enjoy the extra attention. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard with a doggie door, giving dogs safe access to the outdoors while still being supervised. Our German Shepherd, Geo, is a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new canine friends and already goes on three walks a day, so guest dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. Every dog has different needs, and I'm happy to adapt my care accordingly. Whether your dog is a high-energy breed that loves long walks and active play, or a senior companion who prefers shorter strolls, a quiet environment, and extra TLC, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and routine that's right for them.
“Dahlia & her partner Nic were fantastic watching my senior dog. My dog has some quirks and special needs in her old age (medication, eating schedule, etc) but Dahlia was unphased and accommodating. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing my dog was in such great care. Our flight was delayed one hour returning from our trip, and Nic was so kind to stay up the extra hour so we could still pick our dog up on the planned night. Thank you, Dahlia & Nic!”
