“Laura was a wonderful foster mom for Clyde. She recognized right away he loves to snuggle and play fetch, so they did both. He came home happy and calm. She sent lots of pictures of the fun they were having, which helped me! I am definitely using her again.”
“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!!”

I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
“All it takes now is for me to say Allison's name and my dog's ears perk up and she's ready to get into the car. She loves her "vacations" with Allison and family (including her dog, who my dog adores). My dog always comes home so content. I drive 45 min there and back and it's absolutely worth the peace of mind of knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having the time of her life ❤️”
“Skye-Ann was wonderful with Freya! She sent pictures every day and kept me updated on how much Freya was enjoying herself. She was very easy to communicate with especially when I was dealing with the nightmare of cancelled flights on my return. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Andy & Freya”
“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.”
“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.”
“Louise was wonderful :) She came to my rescue when my usual sitter was unable to take care of my little cockapoo. She responded quickly, was extremely flexible in meeting my needs - I needed a place for Kuchoo for the next day, and she arranged her schedule so I could drop her off right before I left for the airport. She also was very flexible in when I could not pick her up which was late in the evening. She asked me about Kuchoo and what she liked or did throughout the day, so that she could make sure she could do the same. She had us meet her dogs together, before I left - which helped me be relaxed about her 2 dogs - whom are sweet as well. While I was away, Louise even send me a picture of my dog playing with her dogs, and send me brief emails about how she was doing. All in all, from now on, I am sure to use Louise whenever I leave town. I felt completely comfortable with the arrangement and knew that my Kuchoo would like her experience. Thank you Louise :)”
“We met Annemarie and immediately knew she would be an amazing fit for are animals. We went to Maui for 8 days and she kept in contact with us the entire vacation away. We got videos and pictures from her which we all loved to see them enjoying her company. We came home to are house being spotless and a note upon her leaving. We will definitely be in contact with her for the family’s next getaway.”
“Charlie was amazing! He took so much time with our dog to make sure he felt comfortable in the space and with the other dogs. Normally, our dog is pretty nervous without us there, but he was honestly sad to leave and we’ll definitely be going back! Would highly recommend!”
“Jessica from the beginning gave me so much peace. She had such an organized clean space for my pup. Even her cats were welcoming! Her daughter was so sweet and generous with her love for my puppy. Jessica kept in contact with me everyday sending photos and asking questions about my pups habits. She was amazing and I would surely recommend and use her again. Thank you Jessica! You gave me so much peace during a difficult time having to leave my Puppy to care for my parents! I wasn't worried at all about my puppy at home and could concentrate on helping my Father.🐶🐾🦴 Thank you!”
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.
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.
“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!”
“Diana was amazing with my dog Stella. It was first time for my puppy to be boarded and I know she had the best time with Diana. I was worried that Stella wouldn’t want to come back from her place :) they took her for a walk, to the river and Stella had amazing time with Diana’s dog too. I really appreciate all the loving they gave my Stella.”

About: I've been caring for cats since 2011 and understand that every cat has a unique personality.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carson
“Makenzie was responsive, easy to work with, and kind to my dog. Her dog Mochi is a well behaved playmate and my pup came back happy and tired after getting long walks and lots of playtime in the yard.”
“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.”
“Loki had a nice relaxed time hanging out with Laura for the day while we were out and about seeing some sights around Hood River. Got a couple of fun pics of Loki throughout her stay, and Laura helped her feel like part of the family while there. Thanks, Laura, for taking such good care of my little old lady!”
“Cory was a lifesaver for me. I was in town for a wedding and frantic and she picked Franklin up and dropped him off for me at my hotel.

“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!”

I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for pets and homes for most of my life. My approach is calm, patient, and intuitive, making me especially attuned to the needs of senior pets, shy or sensitive animals, or pets who simply need extra TLC.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlynn – your pet’s new best friend! I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care. I’m not tied to a full-time job right now, so your pets will get lots of attention, walks, cuddles, and updates throughout the day.

When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I understand I’m being trusted with something deeply personal. I approach every visit with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pets stick to their routine so they feel safe and secure.
About: Had dogs my whole life. Mines a coward and we'd need to check that he gets along with yours first, he'll get bullied if I'm not careful, the poor thing I stay home all day and spend as much of my time as possible outside. Your dog may come back muddy though, the messier you get the more fun you had and all! I am home all day with eyes/ears on the pets nearly constantly. I also spend so much time in environments that encourage explorative play and will keep most dogs too busy to get bored and act out in the first place. If a pet did act out, there's more than enough space in my place to separate animals and allow them to decompress. If at your place, mine is kennel trained for the same idea.

“Laura was a wonderful foster mom for Clyde. She recognized right away he loves to snuggle and play fetch, so they did both. He came home happy and calm. She sent lots of pictures of the fun they were having, which helped me! I am definitely using her again.”
“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 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!!”

“All it takes now is for me to say Allison's name and my dog's ears perk up and she's ready to get into the car. She loves her "vacations" with Allison and family (including her dog, who my dog adores). My dog always comes home so content. I drive 45 min there and back and it's absolutely worth the peace of mind of knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having the time of her life ❤️”
“Skye-Ann was wonderful with Freya! She sent pictures every day and kept me updated on how much Freya was enjoying herself. She was very easy to communicate with especially when I was dealing with the nightmare of cancelled flights on my return. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Andy & Freya”
“We met Annemarie and immediately knew she would be an amazing fit for are animals. We went to Maui for 8 days and she kept in contact with us the entire vacation away. We got videos and pictures from her which we all loved to see them enjoying her company. We came home to are house being spotless and a note upon her leaving. We will definitely be in contact with her for the family’s next getaway.”
“Charlie was amazing! He took so much time with our dog to make sure he felt comfortable in the space and with the other dogs. Normally, our dog is pretty nervous without us there, but he was honestly sad to leave and we’ll definitely be going back! Would highly recommend!”
“Jessica from the beginning gave me so much peace. She had such an organized clean space for my pup. Even her cats were welcoming! Her daughter was so sweet and generous with her love for my puppy. Jessica kept in contact with me everyday sending photos and asking questions about my pups habits. She was amazing and I would surely recommend and use her again. Thank you Jessica! You gave me so much peace during a difficult time having to leave my Puppy to care for my parents! I wasn't worried at all about my puppy at home and could concentrate on helping my Father.🐶🐾🦴 Thank you!”
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.
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.
“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!”
“Maria is a very sweet kindred spirit and flexible with schedules. She maintained excellent communication throughout the boarding process. I value positive energy because it’s comforting knowing that individual is taking care of your pet. I would trust her again for future trips.”

I take immense pride in ensuring my furry companions are not only happy and healthy but also well-behaved. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I actively volunteer as a foster with a local rescue organization, contributing to the welfare of dogs in need.

“Andrea took wonderful care of our pug while we were away and we highly recommend her! She was super easy to communicate with and also flexible when we requested to add a couple days so that we could extend our trip. She's friendly and helpful, as is her family and puppy. Thank you so much Andrea!”
“So happy that I found Amber on Rover. Not only does she live close but she is great with Moose. Sent me updates and pics of Moose on a hike with her and her 2 dogs. Moose was very well taken care of and I will definitely be having her watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
