“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!”
“I feel so lucky that Leah and Chris are going to be taking care of my senior dog in a few weeks. We had a meet & greet and a trial sleepover. Although that trial was just a few hours, they sent lots of sweet photos and my guy was clearly being well cared for. Chris & Leah were focused on his comfort and well-being. It brings me invaluable peace knowing I can take my trip out of state for a week and leave my darling boy with such caring and attentive people.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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! :)”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“Colleen was so nice! From the "pet meet and greet" through the overnight stay, she always made us and our pet comfortable and confident. She sent lots of pics and updates on how Posy was doing. We really appreciated that, for sure. We will definitely use Colleen's pet sitting again and look forward to seeing her at the dog park!”
“Dave is amazing! His calm and loving demeanor really helped our anxious Dorkie settle down right away. After our trip, Harley came back home a happy pup. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our little guy was being well loved and taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be using Dave to watch Harley in the future❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We absolutely will use Jared again. Our dog is 13 and takes meds 3 times a day. This is the first time we have left him with someone that wasn’t family or a close friend, but Jared did great. We lived all the pictures and could tell Ollie was living his best life!”
“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)!”
“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.”

“John took care of everything we discussed perfectly. He was friendly and we're convinced our kitties were happier upon our return from our trip than other times. We appreciate his willingness to give the cats the love and care they needed while we were gone.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Anna was amazing. Just from the photos she regularly sent us (we can never have too many photos!) our cats looked very happy and absolutely comfortable with her. She gave us great updates after each visit. We will absolutely ask her to watch our cats again!!”
“This is the first time I have used Avery for the sitting of my two cats Ozzy and Luke. Avery came into my life at a time where I had Medical concerns that needed by full attention and to know that my boys were taken care of twice a day and with the utmost care meant everything to me. She even did little tasks around the house that kept my home running when I was not there to oversee it. In my mind she went above and beyond. You cannot go wrong with choosing Avery and she is very conscientious caring and responsible! I have ended up moving away and may not see much of her going forward but I think we will be staying close friends now and into the future! She's that kind of person! Thank you Avery!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Beyond the care of my own pets, I also regularly house, dog, cat, and chicken-sit for family friends and neighbors. I've spent my whole life around animals and have nurtured and cared for a variety of pets, including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and fish. I graduated in June of this year, so I have more day-time availability this summer, however I do work a part-time job. My shifts at my job are 4 to 10 hours, 3 to 4 days a week, and Fridays and Tuesdays tend to be my most available days. I am open to any rules or directions you have for your pet. I have a deep respect for all animals and will love and care for them. As a pet-caregiver myself, I understand the bond between you and your pet and the protecting feeling that comes with it. I will do all I can to make sure you feel your pet is in good hands.
“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.”
“Mary was very chill and knowledgeable and went above and beyond cleaning up messes, refilling the litter box with litter from her own house because we were gone, and even making an extra stop at our house when we left earlier than expected!”
“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!”
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!”
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.
“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.”
“Mark was awesome, I had a last minute change and he was able to help me and Buddy out. Great communication and follow up. Buddy had a great time. Clean home, friendly and easy to get to - close to the airport if you're flying. I will definitely use Mark when traveling in the Portland area again.”
“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!!”
“Adnan was great with my puppy, Dolly! She spent the full day with him and his dogs, and everyone got along swimmingly. I was able to receive updates and photos throughout the day as well! Looking forward to this being Dolly’s weekly daycare.”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Angela seems very professional and trust worthy. Argos has enjoyed his time with her and we will be using her again. Thanks for helping to care for the favorite mammal in the household!”
“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!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”

“First time with Brigit. Cooper was immediately comfortable with her. I appreciate that she asked lots of questions to ensure she knew his habits and likes, and my expectations. I look forward to Brigit taking care of Cooper again.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Anna has been wonderful with my Australian shepherd puppy! Penelope required a lot of attention and likes to pull and get distracted on walks but Anna has been patient with her, worked with her, played with her, and overall taken great care of my dog. Highly recommend her for any pet care services!”

About: My love for dogs goes way beyond just having one of my own. I’ve been a proud dog mom to Izzy, my sweet 65 lb companion, for nearly 7 years. Most recently, Over the years I’ve also cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes for friends and family, from tiny lap dogs to large breeds, so your pup is in experienced, loving hands no matter their size. I also have experience with reactive dogs. I treat every dog like my own because that’s genuinely just how I’m wired. Pet care fits naturally and genuinely into my everyday life. My schedule is built around flexibility and routine - which is great news for your dog! I’m available early mornings, midday, and can accommodate late evening needs after 7:30 PM so whether you need a morning walk before work or a midday check-in, I’ve got you covered. Dogs thrive on consistency and presence, and that’s exactly what I can offer. Your pup won’t just be a booking on my calendar they’ll be a welcome part of our day. Before any walk, I take a few minutes to connect with your pup and let them get comfortable with me no rushing, no stress. I believe a relaxed dog makes for a better and safer walk for everyone. I stick to dog-friendly routes through our neighborhood and nearby parks, always keeping your dog leashed and under close supervision. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know that every dog walks a little differently, some need a leisurely stroll, others need to burn some serious energy, and I’m happy to match whatever your dog needs that day. During every walk you can expect: • A safe, attentive walker who treats your dog like my own • Updates and photos so you know how the walk went • Plenty of sniff breaks because that’s half the fun for them! I genuinely love dogs and it shows. Your pup will come home happy, tired, and well cared for.
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!
“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!”
“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 💕”
“Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!”
“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”
About: 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: My childhood dog was German Shepard. Our family dog growing up is a pit bull, the biggest baby you have ever meet. And now, I'm a pet mom to a Cataula Leopard Mix and a chubby cat. I have a thing for holding full on conversations with dogs, even arguing with the from time to time. I love walking and getting plenty of fresh air, which I know your family member would appreciate that as well. I am adaptable, genuine, and a kind spirit. Most animals tend to gravitate towards me like I'm a Disney princess, and tend to baby them. I currently do work in the community, so health and wellness is a given. And I do my best to make sure your loved one is safe and happy. *I am remote and will be available throughout the day and stay with pups who need multiple breaks. I hope to hear and meet with you soon. Thanks for reading my profile! *ONLY ACCEPTING VISITS WITH 3 NIGHT MINIMUM Currently work remotely. I'm a pet owner of 2 (dog and cat). Will board at pet owners home only A nice walk, a treat and some cuddles tends to do the trick. From watching TV or offer some good amount of time outside together.

“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!”
“I feel so lucky that Leah and Chris are going to be taking care of my senior dog in a few weeks. We had a meet & greet and a trial sleepover. Although that trial was just a few hours, they sent lots of sweet photos and my guy was clearly being well cared for. Chris & Leah were focused on his comfort and well-being. It brings me invaluable peace knowing I can take my trip out of state for a week and leave my darling boy with such caring and attentive people.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Colleen was so nice! From the "pet meet and greet" through the overnight stay, she always made us and our pet comfortable and confident. She sent lots of pics and updates on how Posy was doing. We really appreciated that, for sure. We will definitely use Colleen's pet sitting again and look forward to seeing her at the dog park!”
“Dave is amazing! His calm and loving demeanor really helped our anxious Dorkie settle down right away. After our trip, Harley came back home a happy pup. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our little guy was being well loved and taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be using Dave to watch Harley in the future❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Anelys did an excellent job with my pup! She was willing to take her with little notice and had a great dog park behind her house. I could tell she cares about pets and I knew she was in good hands, especially with her experience as a vet tech. Thank you so much!!”
“Araceli was awesome! She was very responsive and sent us frequent pictures of our two fur babies. They returned to us happy and we could tell they were well cared for. Thank you Araceli!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Erin took such great care of Theo and gave us frequent photo updates on our little guy. He got along and I'm pretty sure made great friends with their dog as well. Overall really wonderful experience and would trust Erin to care for Theo again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our goofy Rusty boy. He came home clearly having had the best time including plenty of exercise in the backyard and playtime with properly matched pups. Carer was communicative, understanding, and helpful. Will book again!”
