“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”
“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“Our dogs came home happy and received such good care from Cassandra and Trevor. They communicated very well with lots of fun photo updates. We will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Julie and Barry were amazing with JoJo! It was my partner and I’s first time having someone outside of family watching her and they made her feel at home. We got daily photo updates and they’re both lovely people. We will definitely be booking again next time we need someone to watch JoJo. :)”
“My go to pet sitter! Colleen takes very good care of my pup and is always updating me on how he’s doing. My dog loves to stay with them and really likes to play with Jackson. Every time I need to leave him behind I can rest easy knowing he’s being taken care off.”
“Ruby was so sweet to socket and sent me daily updates while we were out of town. It was such a nice piece of mind knowing socket was well taken care of. I will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing, and my pup Bingo did great! This was my first time leaving him with someone who wasn't family, and I was so anxious that she made the whole process so easy with pictures and updates when I asked for them, and she ensured I had answers to questions I hadn't even asked yet! I will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone! So happy I found her.”
“Leah, thank you for taking such great care of our Celi. Your Cat room, constant updates and photos gave me such peace of mind while we were away. Most of all how well you cared for Celi’s every need made her stay so comfortable and comforting. I highly recommend you and Chris and I know Celi does too!”
“The BEST sitter ever! Becky did an amazing job watching our two pups. We got so many updates and cute photos! We were worry free the whole time knowing our dogs were in good hands! Becky is such a sweet warm person, and goes above and beyond with her dog care (her pets Kito and Tatter were amazing playmates for our babbies). We will for sure be a returning client in the future :)”
“So far this has been one of the best per sitters on Rover. My dogs are happy after their stay and relaxed. Interactions with Shasta are always very professional and would definitely recommend her:)”
“Kattrina was a great host for our dog while we were out of town. She let us know that her dogs adjusted to their visitor, and she gave updates showing us his ample socialization during the stay. Would book again for sure!”
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Anastasia was so amazing! This was my first time being away from my puppy, and from the meet and greet to pickup, my pup was so comfortable and happy! I really appreciated the updates, communication, and every picture showed my pup relaxed, cozy, and having a blast. Anastasia took all the stress away from leaving my puppy with a new person, in a new environment, and I couldn't have asked for a better pupsitter! Thank you again so much for taking care of my puppy, and I definitely will reach out again if I need someone to watch her again!”
“Michelle is awesome and our dogs were happy again. They didn't even look back when we dropped them off. I'm so happy we have her and know our dogs are safe and happy! It takes alot to say that about boarding a husky.”

“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”
“Michelle was wonderful. I had boarded my cat Roo in the past, but she would be very unhappy for a few days after I'd get her home. I had to be away for a week for a family emergency, and decided to hire a pet sitter to come in twice a day to feed and play with her instead. This was the longest I've had to be away from my cat and Michelle took amazing care of her. Likewise, Roo loved Michelle so much, I've never seen her get so attached to someone so quickly. On her visits she fed, watered, played with her, cleaned her litter box, cleaned up after Roo's water protest and took such great pictures of her. When I returned home, instead of Roo complaining about my absence for a few days, she only complained for a few hours. Such a huge difference and I'll never board her again. Michelle is thorough, responsible and dependable. I will use her again if she's available, and I would recommend her services to others. You cannot go wrong hiring Michelle to watch your pets. They will be safe and well cared for. Thank you again Michelle!”
“Corey is absolutely amazing. He goes above and beyond to care for our puppy, and Morhan ADORES him. We love having Corey as part of our family, and that's exactly how he treats us and our baby.”
“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“We booked Emily very last minute after a different sitter fell through. She was great with our cats! Followed our instructions well and even got our shy old man to come out of hiding. Would definitely book again!”
“Dallas did a great job of taking care of my 2 cats while I was. She is very responsible and definitely a cat person. My Romeo took to her immediately. I highly the and will book her again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jayne. She provided exceptional care for my sweet kitty and went above and beyond to communicate with me me. I looked forward to the updates and pictures from her visits. Jayne is professional, flexible, trustworthy, and MOST of all provided loving care for my girl.”
“Jiwan did a great job communicating during her visits! The professionalism and friendliness noted in past reviews is accurate and appreciated, especially as it was our first time working together and using this app.”
“Faith was an outstanding and reliable bird sitter. The birds were very friendly with her. They had plenty of flight time and enjoyed hanging out with her. Faith was fantastic in cleaning up, providing food and water, and playing with the birds. She took many photos and gave frequent updates on how everyone was doing, which was wonderful. You can tell she is a caring and trustworthy friend to all furry creatures.”
About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years and have taken care of a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and guinea pigs. I treat my own fur baby, Dexter, like my own child and I will do the same for yours! He’s my best friend, we do everything together & that’s exactly how I will treat your pup or kitty. I would love to take your fur baby on a nature hike, to the local coffee shop for a puppuccino, to a park to play fetch, or even just playing and lounging around the home. I am here to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Whatever works well and best for them. I work a full-time hybrid position, so my schedule can be flexible at times with advanced scheduling. I am typically able to interact with your fur child as much as needed! We can go on a short walk or hang out at home before I go to work, during my lunch break, and after I am off! Weekends are usually wide open availability. I am no longer offering boarding services at my home, however, I would love to check in on your pet at your home as much as needed. Due to having a pup of my own with his own needs, I will not be able to spend the night at your home. Please note, this prior to booking. I am only available for drop-in visits. Drop in visits typically range from 3-7 times per day, depending on your pet’s needs. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable and safe in the comfort of their home.
About: I have had cats over many years... I have two 9 year old Ragdolls. Their needs and health are top priority and so important to me. When your kitties are in my care, so will theirs be. I worry about my fluffy babies when I am away, so when they have the care they need, I feel so relieved and grateful. That will be my goal for you when you're away. You can feel good knowing that I'll take the best care of your furry family members! :) The type of work I do allows me to kitty sit on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday afternoon/evening. Saturday/Sunday late morning and evening. I may be able to squeeze in Monday and Tuesday! My kitties are indoor. I don't let them out unless it's on my balcony and I'm watching them! They won't go outside, and when maintenance has to come by, I always make sure to remind them to NOT let them outside! :) I give them lots of loves and play! I'm their world! I would do two drop-in visits for your kitties. Make sure they have water, food, clean litter box... And give them pets and keep them company for a bit. I like to have pictures sent to me so I know my cats are okay, so I could do that for you if you'd want.
“Ronda was great with our 2 cats. She sent updates and pictures daily. She even noticed one of our houseplants needed to be watered! We will definitely use her next time we need kitty care”
About: I grew up with animals always around, dogs, cats, and birds, but am not ready to have one of my own again at this time. I work from home so will be available to your pets at all times. I have a big fenced back yard to play in. I limit stays to 1 household at a time to ensure everyone is familiar and comfortable with eachother. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and experienced in administering any medicines needed. I do live with a partner, while he is an animal lover too, I will be the sole sitter for your pets during their stay. I really look forward to meeting your fur babies! I work from home so I’ll be available at all hours of the day. My workday usually starts at 7am but that is highly flexible. My house is small but I have a large fenced in backyard and am usually okay just keeping the door open for pets to go in and out as they like during down time. I prefer for your pets to stay with me but if you need me to come to your place that can be arranged. I will respect your home and your home’s safety however you deem. I’m here to help you and your pets feel as comfortable as possible while you are away
“Michelle did a great job with her first drop-in visit for our two cats! Communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We could tell she was attentive and caring, and our cats seemed comfortable with her. Would definitely book her again!”
“Excellent sitter, someone you can really trust that you’re leaving your animals in great care. Took care of my apartment, went above & beyond for me & my pets. Will definitely be booking again for any future cat-sitting needs.”
“Jessica was professional, punctual, kind, and an awesome cat sitter. She connected with our cat who can be at times standoffish. She did great following the provided instructions. Highly recommend and will hire her the next time.”

“Melba stayed here while we went to a show at the Edgefield Amphitheater. Gary and Carol had no problem with our late pick up, and they sent updates and pictures. Everything was easy and smooth. We wouldn't hesitate to have Gary and Carol dogsit again if we come back to this area!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Mackenzie is a perfect find, super accommodating, extremely responsive,very kind, and great with our Luna. Look forward to continuing with daycare and Luna loves going and staying the day”
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.
“Ms. Gema has been nothing but amazing. My puppy was well taken care of make sure she was healthy well fed and received lots of exercise and she was flexible and able to accommodate and excited. Stay at the last minute. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family that need boarding with their puppy or adult dog”
“My puppy loved his time with Anastasia--he was visibly excited every morning when I dropped him off, Anastasia sent photos and videos of him and his new pals having fun throughout the day, and he was thoroughly exhausted when I picked him up at the end of the day.”
“Julie and Barry are an amazing team ... quickly tuning into Tashi's personality and habits. When we came to pick him up, he was so relaxed and comfortable that he greeted us at the door as if we were visitors to his home, with Barry beside him. Clearly he was treated as family.”
“Sam did an amazing job taking care of my little Ruby! She was very communicative and clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge about dogs. I would definitely book her again!!”

“Emma is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and asked all the right questions before we brought our pup over for daycare. We received pictures and a video during the day and were updated on how things were going. When we picked up our pup, she smelled amazing and was wearing a cute little bandana! We are so happy we found Emma’s place and will keep sending our pup back!”

“Gema was very kind and patient with my puppy and quickly got her to warm up to her and get over her new person nervousness. She was very kind on their walks and playtime. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Samie didn’t great with Eden today. They played, she had her go potty and even followed every wild direction and listened when I explained tips for making her time with my overstimulated puppy easier. Samie sent plenty of cool photos and even went above and beyond to feed my always hungry cat who screams for his food. Thanks Samie! Eden and Ninja would be happy to have you back for a walk or drop in.”
“Kristopher has great energy and you can see his love for animals. He was kind and loving to my new dog that I just adopted 3 months ago. He communicates well and keeps you informed. I'm looking forward to his next visit with my puppers.”
“Jiwan is great. She followed all instructions perfectly and was able to handle my old dog with special needs with no problems. She took great pictures and was very communicative. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“So glad I found Michelle for my anxious "velcro" pit bull dog! She has provided walks and even stayed with him at my home overnight. He has never been this relaxed when I've been out of town, which allows me to travel guilt free!”
“Once again Sarah saves the day and loves my dog like he's her own!! Everyone needs a Sarah in their life!! I trust her like family (or maybe even more!). We love Sarah!!”
“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”
“Anika was amazing! I really appreciate how they were so responsive and were able to accommodate my last minute request. I highly recommend Anika for all your pet sitting/walking needs!”

About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!
About: I grew up on property where people would dump their cats, so I have helped raise bottle babies, seniors and momma cats. I also grew up with 2 dogs, taking care of them with my mom. I currently have 4 cats of my own and help care for my grandmas dog Romeo who you see in one of my pictures. I do not have veterinary licensing or certifications, but I have years of real life experience and promise your animal(s) will be well cared for and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable from 8-5 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I am always willing to come before and after for drop ins, and am available for overnight stays every day of the week except Sunday & Monday nights. I am comfortable crating, feeding, cleaning up after & doing basically anything a pet owner needs to do for their animal. I will respect your home and your wishes with your pet and be sure to maintain a calm, caring environment for your pet to feel safe in.

“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”
“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“Our dogs came home happy and received such good care from Cassandra and Trevor. They communicated very well with lots of fun photo updates. We will definitely book again!”
“My go to pet sitter! Colleen takes very good care of my pup and is always updating me on how he’s doing. My dog loves to stay with them and really likes to play with Jackson. Every time I need to leave him behind I can rest easy knowing he’s being taken care off.”
“Ruby was so sweet to socket and sent me daily updates while we were out of town. It was such a nice piece of mind knowing socket was well taken care of. I will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing, and my pup Bingo did great! This was my first time leaving him with someone who wasn't family, and I was so anxious that she made the whole process so easy with pictures and updates when I asked for them, and she ensured I had answers to questions I hadn't even asked yet! I will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone! So happy I found her.”
“Leah, thank you for taking such great care of our Celi. Your Cat room, constant updates and photos gave me such peace of mind while we were away. Most of all how well you cared for Celi’s every need made her stay so comfortable and comforting. I highly recommend you and Chris and I know Celi does too!”
“The BEST sitter ever! Becky did an amazing job watching our two pups. We got so many updates and cute photos! We were worry free the whole time knowing our dogs were in good hands! Becky is such a sweet warm person, and goes above and beyond with her dog care (her pets Kito and Tatter were amazing playmates for our babbies). We will for sure be a returning client in the future :)”
“So far this has been one of the best per sitters on Rover. My dogs are happy after their stay and relaxed. Interactions with Shasta are always very professional and would definitely recommend her:)”
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Anastasia was so amazing! This was my first time being away from my puppy, and from the meet and greet to pickup, my pup was so comfortable and happy! I really appreciated the updates, communication, and every picture showed my pup relaxed, cozy, and having a blast. Anastasia took all the stress away from leaving my puppy with a new person, in a new environment, and I couldn't have asked for a better pupsitter! Thank you again so much for taking care of my puppy, and I definitely will reach out again if I need someone to watch her again!”
“Michelle is awesome and our dogs were happy again. They didn't even look back when we dropped them off. I'm so happy we have her and know our dogs are safe and happy! It takes alot to say that about boarding a husky.”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Sky seemed like she loved her time with Angie! She got lots of car rides and play time. The communication and updates were very much appreciated. I’m selfishly hesitant to leave a review because I know she will be so popular and booked solid soon! But I can’t deny great care to any dog”
“We were really nervous about our first boarding experience with our new puppy but Chris took such good care of her, it put our nerves to rest. She looked like she had such a good time in all of the photos he provided. Definitely recommend.”
“Kristen and Kasey are amazing dog sitters. They provided frequent updates and photos and even sent our dog home with a hand painted portrait of him ? we really feel like we hit the jackpot finding them!!”
