“Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking such great care of our guy! He had nothing but smiles on the video and pictures we received while away! Jax will definitely be back to play!”
“Raenell was great! I really predicated regular updates during the stay and excellent communication leading up to the stay. My dog returned happy like he was on vacation 🙂. I would recommend Raenell to anyone.”
“Skye is the reason Rover is around. She always leaves me with peace of mind that Braza is well taken care of and not just safe but actually cared for. That's something you don't get from a regular boarding facility with tons of dogs in a sterile environment with overworked and overcrowded facilities. She is always very accommodating for me and my schedule but most of all gives Braza all the proper attention and adventure he craves.”
“Cory watched our 3-month old puppy Willa for a few nights, and we had such a great experience with her. She had us come over to meet Willa before we booked officially, and made us feel so comfortable, letting us see her house and where Willa would be, and taking Willa for a little stroll around the block with us. She kept us updated the whole time Willa was there, sending photos and little notes which made us feel SO much better as it was our first time being away from our puppy! Cory also really cared about our schedule with Willa and wanted to keep up the training we'd been doing with her. She asked tons of detailed questions which I really appreciated. We already have her booked again for the holidays! We're so grateful we found her.”

“Charlie was great! Very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs and much more. Absolutely gave my boy a little vacation and toured him the sites and spots all over. Really enjoyed all the picture and video updates as well. I’d recommend Charlie to anyone who wants the best for their pet while they are away.”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and had a Heeler mix for 16 years that traveled cross country with me. I’ve got great experience with elderly dogs and young dogs alike. My fiancé and I are home quite a bit with fenced yard, but love to hike in the area to make sure dogs get all the exercise they need! I have mornings off, so plenty of time for walks and hikes. My fiancé is a ski coach with summers off and is home most of the day to hang with the dogs. I have a fully fenced yard to play in with plenty of sunshine. Plenty of time spent at home to socialize and exercise! Morning and evening walks close to parks and hiking.
“Wow. Mackenzie saved us last minute when plans for our Meeko feel through. We were driving from Portland to Hood River area for a wedding and had nowhere to take him. She offered her services right away and was the absolute best person to leave him with for the weekend. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met, and sent updates and pictures all weekend. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you again, Mackenzie for being absolutely amazing!!”
“Emily was so great!! She watched our golden retriever who has a lot of energy and my dog was so tired and happy when I picked her up. Her dogs are so sweet and had so much fun with my dog, and I felt like Emily was really caring and understanding of some diet needs she has. I’ll definitely board with her again!”
“Katlyn exceeded all our expectations! I am so grateful we found her on Rover. Leaving on a trip is stressful and worrying about our pets adds to it all. Our dog, Sid, had such a great time that I wasn't sure he would want to leave her house when we arrived home. Katlyn was great at communicating with us; she gave us updates and photos every day. I highly recommend her services!!”
About: Our love for animals runs deep. Our pets are our family and bring so much joy to our lives. We will take great care of your animals because we understand the importance of keeping animals happy and safe at all times so their parent can have peace of mind while they are apart. They bring us so much joy that they deserve nothing less than to be spoiled with love!

Our 10 acres are completely fenced. We have an Australian Shepherd who is 3 years old and loves being our watcher girl and frisbee queen.

“Emily came to care for our young previously feral kittens shortly after we adopted them. We felt so bad leaving them but it became clear very quickly that they were in good hands. She was kind, patient and very attentive. It wasn't long before they came out from hiding and were purring in her lap. She was like the kitten whisperer! I highly recommend Emily!”
“Libby communicates great and my cats loved her. would trust her again with more babies the next time I am out of town. she communicates great and goes out of her way for their needs”
“Malia was punctual when she came over to meet my kitty before drop-ins. She communicated well prior to this meet. I’m so grateful she’s available. My kitty warmed right up to her!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats all my life. I have lots of experience giving them daily care and tending to their needs, and I can stand the smell of the wet food, lol! I give every cat patient, gentle care, respecting their personality while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in college. I have formed many trusting and genuine relationships with pet owners and have a true passion for animal-care. I have provided pet care in many states including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon. I am extremely reliable and take great care in my interactions with all animals I work with. I also have experience working at “Paws and Claws” for 2 years as a support staff in the kennels, during grooming appointments, and doggy-group playtime. I absolutely love animals, and would be overjoyed to spend quality time with your beloved furry friend! I work as a full time school-based speech-language pathologist during the day, giving me great hours to spend time with your animal in the morning, after school, and in the evenings. I am available on all weekdays, as well as the weekends! I am very flexible with my time and am more than happy to be flexible with your schedule. I currently live with roommates; therefore, any animal-care I provide will be in the home of the pet-owner. I am more than happy to stay with your animal(s) in the comfort of their own home.
“Yahaira was wonderful. She was able to check on our cat last minute over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and we really appreciated her flexibility, quick communication, and how kind she was to talk with. We’d 100% book with her again in the future.”
About: I have worked with cats all my life and was a licensed veterinary technician for 3 years, and left to pursue tattoo school. I have also fostered all types of kitties and worked as a cat rescue volunteer for 5 years. I am certified in Fear Free techniques for the shy cats.
“I cannot recommend Clare more! She was so great with my pup, he absolutely loved his time spent with her while I was away. Clare went above and beyond to make sure my pup was receiving enough exercise daily. I had scheduled drop-in visits, and she stayed longer than the 30 minutes on multiple occasions. She was more than willing to communicate through text or the app and sent plenty of photos to keep me updated. ☆☆☆☆☆”
About: I’ve had my Border Collie mixed breed since she was 8 weeks old; she’s going on 6 years and is my favorite creature in the whole world. I treat animals just like their family with love, respect, care, and safety. In addition to raising my own pup, I have lived in many households with several cats and other dogs that I assisted in the caretaking of. During high school and college in Colorado, I assisted in dog walking services and house sitting (pre-Rover times). I’m responsible, honest, and a total animal-lover. I’m a server who works part-time and mostly nights. My days are very free for playing with and walking pets! I’m your go-to gal. 💜 I will get your dog at the arranged time to provide the discussed service. Whether that is letting your dog outside to potty in their own yard and playing fetch, or going on a nice long walk, that’s up to you and our arrangement! I’m very flexible and will do what is needed for the dog and owner to both be comfortable and happy.
“I booked Maggie for a week of drop ins for my cats and received nothing but the best care for my babies. I’ll be returning for future requests and highly recommend their services. Thank you so much, Maggie!”
About: I've had and lived with many dogs and volunteered with rabbits as well. Before moving to Oregon, I was also a volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific in southern CA for over 8 years and love animals of all kinds. I have a flexible scheduled where I work from home and can be available any day including over night pet / house sitting when needed. I live in a four bedroom home with my husband. Our dog passed away over two years ago and we've missed the company of a pet but our hearts are not yet healed. We hope caring for your pet might help heal our hearts to love another pet again.
“Sky was fabulous and our cat loved her! First of all she responded to our request right away and showed up on time for the meet and greet on time. She also posted pics of him daily. Our home was in wonderful condition and our cat happy as clam when we returned. We will be using Sky for any future trips!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.
About: I'm an experienced dog sitter and former dog mom just returning to Rover and accepting new and returning clients! I have decades of experience taking care of dogs, including my own, friends', and dogs in rescues and shelters. I was the dog-walking coordinator for a dog rescue and a dog-walking volunteer for a public shelter for years. I actually grew up afraid of dogs and it was a big deal for me to start volunteering to walk strange dogs; it helped build my confidence, and I was -- and still am -- very attuned to what's going on with the creature at the other end of the leash. I believe every dog has unique needs and temperament and honor these while they're in my care to ensure they feel as secure and safe as possible. DOG SITTING AND BOARDING: I work from home as an editor, so your dog will get lots of attention and potty breaks. Your dog is welcome to join me on the couch or lie at my feet for regular pets, or chill in another room in or out of a crate. Whatever will make your dog feel most at ease while you're away. I recently lost my own 15-year-old dog, so your pup will be my sole focus (and will get lots of love and care). I have a fully fenced yard at my home for potty breaks (separate from walks/hikes). If you don't have a fully fenced yard at your home, it's no problem to take your dog for leashed potty walks as frequently as necessary.
“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”
About: From the first veterinary and rescue clinic I worked with, I understood & appreciated my gift as a caretaker. I worked for a local shelter in my hometown, and grew fond of spending time with animals who needed extra love. The work pushed me to examine how we connect with animals. This compassion for taking care of animals expanded in college while I interned and spent time caring for penguins housed in the New England Aquarium. From Boston to Portland, I became a full time caretaker for animals and folks. I am a graduate of Suffolk University, and East West College of the Healing Arts. My knowledge of therapeutic massage and nurturing touch delivers unique care for all clients. These techniques are especially useful in calming the nervous system. You can rest assured, caring and consideration are my priorities with each individual and animal. About this sitter: Seeking seasonal work while building my private massage practice in town. A kind and intuitive person, who loves to be outdoors and care for all kinds of animals! I have reliable references and good standing with the people I've met along my journey. Let me know when you need someone to share love with your pet!

“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”
“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”
“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”
About: I've basically been around dogs all my life and I love them dearly. I lived on a farm in Mexico for over 15 years and had my pack of 5 dogs. I enjoy playing and spending time with them, walks and talks :) I have patience for dogs like no other, their needs are my top priority. Every dog is a good dog🖤 I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have all the time in the world to take care and to have a fun time with your pup!! Walks, treats and belly rubs all day🖤 I have a fenced back yard that your pup and my pup can play in, many dog toys and of course the house to roam around in. My house isn't very small but not too big either, but its definitely safe for your pup 100%. I do walks locally, so it's safe and close to home!

From there, I am available from Tuesday to Saturday in the afternoon. This is a part time for me so I am working for only a few hours. However, for those few hours, I trust your dog is going to have a fun walk! I am going to be a dog walker so I am not going to be at your a home a lot. However, I am great with dogs at home. I have taken care of my two dogs at home for years!

About: Hello, Friends. I'm an all around animal lover. Born on a farm in Oregon, I'm use to diverse animal behaviors and care. My services include dog walking and house and pet sitting. I also provide horse feed, walks, and other farm animal care while you're home or away. As an active person, and beach lover, your pet is always welcomed to have some outdoor fun with me and go for a run or some water time. I'm First-AID and CPR trained for dogs and other furry pets so you know your best buds will be in great care while they are with me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet(s). My Schedule: I work from home part-time so my schedule is very flexible. My routine is based around the pets care and needs. I do attend dance every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours, so I will be away during the evening for two hours. Environment: I keep a very clean and safe environment for all pets in my home. I am always stocked with treats, toys and comfortable relaxing areas.
About: I've taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for the last 15+ years. I love being around animals sometimes more than people! I am able to take your dogs for walks, care for your cats when you are out of town. I have two dogs of my own so for boarding our dogs must get along well. I work from home 90% of the time so it's easy for me to fit pet care into my schedule. My own dogs get a few walks per day, plus playtime in the yard. I will care for yours as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard. When I'm walking dogs, I'll keep them on leash unless you specify otherwise and I feel confident with your dog. When caring for cats, I'll always play with them a little if they enjoy that before/after feeding time - as well as change the litter box.
About: I love with a golden retriever but still love to take care of others to get my dog fix in. Dogs are my favorite animal and I would love to spend some time with yours while you’re away. I can run, walk, feed, throw balls or frisbees and give them lots of belly rubs. I am not a certified trainer but have experience training my old two labs and know how to train them. I will walk rain or shine and we will have so much fun. I’m excited to meet your puppies soon!!! I work full time but the fall and winter are pretty quiet for me. I am able to let dogs out during lunch, etc. I'm always happy to make some extra time to get outside with dogs too! Dogs will be kept in the house or on a leash unless we are in a fenced in area. The house is clean so there's nothing not too much trouble to get into!

“Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking such great care of our guy! He had nothing but smiles on the video and pictures we received while away! Jax will definitely be back to play!”
“Skye is the reason Rover is around. She always leaves me with peace of mind that Braza is well taken care of and not just safe but actually cared for. That's something you don't get from a regular boarding facility with tons of dogs in a sterile environment with overworked and overcrowded facilities. She is always very accommodating for me and my schedule but most of all gives Braza all the proper attention and adventure he craves.”

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’m happy to provide reliable and loving care during those days. Message me anytime to check availability for your dates! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of attention. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
“Charlie was great! Very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs and much more. Absolutely gave my boy a little vacation and toured him the sites and spots all over. Really enjoyed all the picture and video updates as well. I’d recommend Charlie to anyone who wants the best for their pet while they are away.”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and had a Heeler mix for 16 years that traveled cross country with me. I’ve got great experience with elderly dogs and young dogs alike. My fiancé and I are home quite a bit with fenced yard, but love to hike in the area to make sure dogs get all the exercise they need! I have mornings off, so plenty of time for walks and hikes. My fiancé is a ski coach with summers off and is home most of the day to hang with the dogs. I have a fully fenced yard to play in with plenty of sunshine. Plenty of time spent at home to socialize and exercise! Morning and evening walks close to parks and hiking.
“Wow. Mackenzie saved us last minute when plans for our Meeko feel through. We were driving from Portland to Hood River area for a wedding and had nowhere to take him. She offered her services right away and was the absolute best person to leave him with for the weekend. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met, and sent updates and pictures all weekend. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you again, Mackenzie for being absolutely amazing!!”
“Emily was so great!! She watched our golden retriever who has a lot of energy and my dog was so tired and happy when I picked her up. Her dogs are so sweet and had so much fun with my dog, and I felt like Emily was really caring and understanding of some diet needs she has. I’ll definitely board with her again!”
“Katlyn exceeded all our expectations! I am so grateful we found her on Rover. Leaving on a trip is stressful and worrying about our pets adds to it all. Our dog, Sid, had such a great time that I wasn't sure he would want to leave her house when we arrived home. Katlyn was great at communicating with us; she gave us updates and photos every day. I highly recommend her services!!”
About: Our love for animals runs deep. Our pets are our family and bring so much joy to our lives. We will take great care of your animals because we understand the importance of keeping animals happy and safe at all times so their parent can have peace of mind while they are apart. They bring us so much joy that they deserve nothing less than to be spoiled with love! Both my husband and I work from home, so our girl and your pup would be with us the whole time during their visit. He farms our vineyard while I work from home in wine marketing and sales. Our 10 acres are completely fenced. We have an Australian Shepherd who is 3 years old and loves being our watcher girl and frisbee queen. The dogs are with us all the time and have full range of all the comfy spots for resting between plays. Water is available in multiple locations to keep pups hydrated as they live the vineyard life!
About: We are a married couple that work from home and have a friendly 3 year old golden retriever and an 11 month Collie Mix. We have decided to host one dog (family) at a time. We are home bodies and our pups love having company. When you book with us feel safe knowing both of us will be at home with your dog and monitoring their safety. We both grew up with family dogs and other pets and we understand the scary feeling of boarding your dog. We are happy to meet and answer any questions before taking in your dog. We will update you daily (at a minimum) of how they are doing, including sending pictures of course. As mentioned, we work from home. Our schedules are very flexible. When we book a stay we plan on staying home and playing with the dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard where our boy Lambeau plays. Your dog will be part of the family and free to roam the house and yard as they please.
