“Kristopher and his family were terrific. I had a last minute cancellation and he was so accommodating. I was stressed but they were so reassuring and helpful. He was great at communicating, even though it was a short stay he knew I need reassurance and was so great to send lots of pictures. In the future he will my number 1 choice for all my dog sitting needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Gary was great with our puppy. While she was happy to see us after a two week absence, it was obvious she had been well-cared for and lovingly attended. We have already booked our next stay with Gary and Carol.”

“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.”
“Excellent dog boarding experience! She was very responsive, kept me updated with photos throughout my dog’s stay, and was incredibly kind and caring. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“Peggie was so great with our Charlie! Our daughter has a very hard time being separated from her, but Peggie did a great job at keeping in contact and making sure we knew Charlie was happy and healthy. It was a huge relief to have her in such good hands when we couldn't take her with us on our trip.”
“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!”
“Dave did an excellent job with our Blue Heeler. He has a nice big yard for dogs to roam and play, and was a great communicator throughout the whole experience. We would definitely have our buddy stay with Dave again.”
“Kayla and her family took such great care of our pup. He loved playing with her dogs, and in all the pictures she sent us he looked happy, healthy, and exhausted 😅. He was with her for about 12 days, and we could tell she cared for him like we do. We would highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing, she really puts 200% into her care of animals. I got updates everyday, pictures, and knew that my pup was taken care of as if she were her own. My girl got a fun vacation coming to stay with Sarah, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“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!”

“Daun did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She really went the extra mile, taking plenty of time to play with them and keep the litter tidy. She sent us plenty of updates and was great to work with. Highly recommended!”
“Emily did an amazing job; my original sitter had something come up so I needed someone last minute and she was understanding, flexible, and communicative. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that our cat loved the attention from her. Would definitely book her again!”
“Christina was so great with my cats. The pictures she sent showed they clearly were not stressed while me and the family were away for two weeks. When we got home they were relaxed and their normal selves. The extra time spent with them is so much appreciated and wasn’t even asked for, so, thank you for the extra effort. Would definitely rebook again.”
About: Cats are my personal favorite! I have had a Russian blue, a black cat and, currently, a tuxedo cat. I really enjoy connecting with cats, earning their trust and building a relationship with them. I love to spend time with cats, whether it's kitty snuggles or just being in the same room, I cherish every second I get to spend with my cat buddies.
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
About: I love cats and am experienced with everything that comes with them. I speak fluent slow blink, I respect personal space, and will absolutely sit on the floor for 20 minutes just to earn a single head-boop. I have lots of experience with senior cats and know how to keep their routines soft and stead. Meds? No problem. Special diets? Done. A favorite sunny spot they like to loaf in? I’ll make sure it’s warmed and ready. Older kitties hold a special place in my heart, and I’m great at noticing little things. Tiny behavior shifts, changes in appetite, or when they need a little extra encouragement. I’m also big on cleanliness. Fresh litter, clean bowls, and tidy spaces. Consider me your cat’s temporary butler. I'm patient and I’m present. Whether your cat is playful, shy, spicy, or a total cuddlebug, I adjust to their vibe and make sure they feel safe and understood.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child. I am extremely caring and attentive person who will take the time to adjust to the needs of your pet. I have lived with many cats/dogs over the years, and enjoy their unique and loving personalities us animal lovers appreciate. I enjoy going on walks with dogs and cats, and will take the time to make them feel loved while mom and/or dad are away! I currently work full time and care for my dog and cat. I am open to assisting during the weekends for anyone needing short stays with their pets. No one knows your pets and home like you do. To ensure I provide efficient service, I first like to have a one-on-one with pet parents and their pets to ensure we are an appropriate fit and I am able to provide the best care to your pets . I will care for your loved ones as if you were there walking me through each step every day. My goal is to keep the pets routine the same to prevent any stress while mom and/or dad are away for a little while. I will try my best to accommodate every need and provide updates with adorable picture of your fur baby. I will be sure to follow all training set by the parents to maintain your pets structure while you trust me to care for them. I will be sure to clean up, to the best of my ability, any accidents that might happen due to stress of parents being away.
“Danika checked on my cat for 7 days while I was on vacation. She communicated well and sent pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. My cat was relaxed and happy when we returned like we never left. I would have Danika watch my cat again in the future.”
“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”
“Angela was absolutely AMAZING, I cannot stress enough. She really cared for my cat like she was her own. She went above and beyond to make sure my Pippa was warm, cared for and checked in on, litter clean, etc. She set up one of her own cameras for me to be able to check in while I was gone, which was so nice! We stayed in constant communication, she was so friendly and I just really appreciate everything she did for my cat and I. Thanks again, Angela!”

“Our experience with Rebecca was excellent, and our pups experience, too! We were so happy to have updates and pictures throughout the day as it was our first time leaving him and we were a bit nervous. He was so well cared for while we were gone, came home happy and tired, and even got sent the rest of his chew stick home! We will definitely be back without hesitation.”

“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.”
“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!”
“Charlene has been hands-down, the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. The amount of love, care, fun, and exercise she gave our dog, Ginkgo, was truly exceptional. I’m someone who loves pictures and updates, and Charlene provided beautiful pictures and updates without prompting during Ginkgo’s 4 day stay. He got to go on runs, long hikes, and even got a pup cup with her daughter. He came home each day absolutely exhausted, which was amazing for my husband after working long days. We are so grateful we found Charlene!”
“Finding the right fit for taking care of my two older chihuahuas was very stressful, until I came across Julie and Barry. Firstly, my huge requirement was that they had no dogs of their own and secondly, that they would only have one client at a time. That is not super easy to find. And not only do they fulfill both of those requirements, but it is two people instead of one, so it's an incredible amount of care and attention that is given to any animal that they might care for. One of my pups has some pretty major anxiety and Julie knew just what to do with her. She turns on her heating pad and cuddles up on the couch with her, and I can tell that they are very loved while there. And though I know my pups don't like being away from me, they very obviously feel safe and comfortable with both Julie and Barry. They also have a wonderful place for the dogs to be when outside. Our pups are going to board with them soon and we feel 100% comfortable with it, and excited that we have found Julie and Barry. Besides taking great care of the pups, they are lovely people and we have enjoyed getting to know them.”
“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”
“Tracy and her family did a wonderful of taking care of Ollie. He was very calm and not at all anxious when coming home and loved all the attention he was given. I will be leaving him with her on a regular basis.”
“I dropped Tofu off for the first time and Emma was immediately able to make her comfortable. Tofu is usually an anxious dog but Emma was able to provide a perfect balance between giving her space and engaging her in interaction. Thanks for a great first day!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need. My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.
About: Throughout my life I’ve had 2 dogs, 7 cats, and I currently live with 3 cats. I don’t have a preference between cats and dogs, I love them equally! I don’t work a regular job so my schedule is almost always open for pet sitting. I’m free to house sit, dog walk, whenever you need me. I keep my cats indoors, give fresh water every day in their cat fountain. I feed every morning and every night on a consistent schedule, a mix of kibble and wet food.
About: I grew up raising my two dogs, Nike and Sparky, since they were babies. Nike is a dachshund and Sparky is a little chunky chihuahua. They are both 11 years old. I also babysit my friend’s frenchie, Appa, when they go out of town. I currently work full-time, and am free in the evenings. I am also free during the weekends. I am pretty active and love to go on hikes and runs. I am a super outdoorsy person but can also be a couch potato. Although I don’t have a yard, I live in a super pet friendly neighborhood. I also currently don’t have pets and live in a calm friendly neighborhood.
About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
About: I'm a dependable and hard worker who's had dogs and cats my whole life, and have been pet/house sitting off and on since I was an early teenager. I love taking dogs for runs or walks with me and getting the chance to exercise them, or just playing with them in the house. I have plenty of experience with older dogs who need medication and various special care needs, dogs who have recently had operations, as well as with puppies making messes. I also have cared for kittens and older cats who need play time or lots of love. I'm happy to give daily updates on your pets; I think they are just as cute as you do! I've taken care of houses, plants, and pets for up to three month periods, communicating with the owners the whole time. I will love and care for your pets just like you do! I currently work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so I can fit your pets' care needs in however works best for them. I have lots of experience with very high energy working dogs, German Shepherds, who needed to be kenneled and fed in particular ways, as well as experience with caring for up to six pets at a time, making sure they're all fed and getting along at dinner or play times.

I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or any other special needs. I actively provide updates to owners so that they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and stress free while in my care.
About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog for years, who lived to 15, which meant administering medications, moving at her pace, keeping routines gentle, and making sure she stayed comfortable and healthy in her senior years. I have experience caring for senior cats as well, and I’m very comfortable supporting animals that need extra patience or special attention. I keep a clean space, and pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I’ve watched multiple dogs at once in other people’s homes, from high-energy pups who love adventure to low-energy or anxious dogs who need quiet reassurance. Your pet will get genuine companionship, safety, and lots of love. I am living Portland, Oregon, working part time from home, and therefore will have full availability to stay at your home and care for your pets. Would love to help you with your plans and allow for you to travel where you need to go while your pets and your home are in good hands. I enjoy spending my days exploring the hiking trails so if your dog likes hikes and can join, I’d love that! Other than that, I’ll be spending most of my time enjoying the Portland neighborhoods and chilling with your pets. In my home, pets get a cozy, clean space, plenty of check-ins, and a steady routine with meals, fresh water, play breaks, walks, and lounging together. I make sure they feel like part of the household and never rushed or ignored. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and consistent. I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and meds to favorite toys or bedtime rituals. Whether your pet wants adventure or quiet comfort, I match their vibe and keep them happy until you return.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I do work varying shifts! Not too long but outside of work I will still provide everything they may need! With lots of pets, play time and going outside! I do have a full yard and I moved to a house so i no longer live in an apartment. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it.

About: Ive taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets since I was a young child. I’ve worked with animals in multiple different environments and I can administer medication as well as provide a bath using my pet grooming station. I’m an animal lover of all kinds even the “big scary mean ones”. I lead a very active lifestyle and would love to be able to share that with your furry friend whenever you’re not able too! I also love teaching and training. There’s no better feeling for myself than when I can connect with an animal and build a bond. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of available time to get outside and play with your furry friends. I take my own cats on walks several times a day we eat three limited ingredient meals a day and take regular baths and grooming sessions. Needless to say I never run out of time when it comes to spending time with any animals. I don’t have a yard however I have a big comfy couch and two very friendly cats that love dogs ready to play! I also live near a lot of dog parks including sellwood dog park and love going on tons of walks and runs throughout the day. I have a very clean home and a crate incase it’s needed I can also separate my cats away if needed pretty much can work around anything I’ve even got an elevator.

“Kristopher and his family were terrific. I had a last minute cancellation and he was so accommodating. I was stressed but they were so reassuring and helpful. He was great at communicating, even though it was a short stay he knew I need reassurance and was so great to send lots of pictures. In the future he will my number 1 choice for all my dog sitting needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Gary was great with our puppy. While she was happy to see us after a two week absence, it was obvious she had been well-cared for and lovingly attended. We have already booked our next stay with Gary and Carol.”
“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.”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“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!”
“Dave did an excellent job with our Blue Heeler. He has a nice big yard for dogs to roam and play, and was a great communicator throughout the whole experience. We would definitely have our buddy stay with Dave again.”
“Kayla and her family took such great care of our pup. He loved playing with her dogs, and in all the pictures she sent us he looked happy, healthy, and exhausted 😅. He was with her for about 12 days, and we could tell she cared for him like we do. We would highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing, she really puts 200% into her care of animals. I got updates everyday, pictures, and knew that my pup was taken care of as if she were her own. My girl got a fun vacation coming to stay with Sarah, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Katie was amazing! She sent lots of photos of Zoey enjoying the sun in her cute backyard, and when she opened her door when I was picking Zoey up, Zoey ran to me and then turned right around and ran back to Katie. To me that's a good sign that she loved hanging out with Katie :) Will definitely book again!”
“Michelle was a great stay for the dogs! She has a big yard for them to roam, and her home is really dedicated to space for the dogs to hang out. She was very responsive with questions and sent lots of photos. This was my first time leaving my rescue dog with a sitter, and Michelle felt confident with anxious rescues. She also had some helpful advice with my anxious dog, which was really good to hear, because you WANT a person who is honest and trustworthy about your babies!”
