“Flawless. Leah and Chris did a phenomenal job making me and Gnocchi feel comfortable with the arrangement and she had a great time. She's very high energy and they gave her a lot of playtime and attention. And sent tons of pictures too!”
“Lisa sent us pictures and updates while she cared for our pups which was really comforting . One of our dogs is very old and we were a little concerned about him. But he did great. Lisa clearly took good care of both of them as they were happy and healthy when I picked them up.She didn't bat an eye when I brought over special food. We will always call on Lisa when we go out of town!”
“This is our first time leaving our dog with anyone away from home and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Every day we were gone, Matt and his wife updated us with pictures of how our dog was doing without any nudging. We were able to relax and have a wonderful family vacation with no worries or concerns about our dog. He also got to play with so many other dogs that he had no time to even miss us which was a great plus! The next time we go out of town, we will be using their services again.”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Our dog Mia came back looking so relaxed and happy after her time with Kimo. He’s very responsive and accommodating. We’d love to have him watch Mia again!”
“I almost want to gatekeep Kathryn, she’s so good. Dog sat my puppy for 10 days and don’t think he wanted to come home. No but in all seriousness, Kathryn is the epitome of professional and a talented dog person. Appreciate her so much.”
“Sean was a wonderful choice to watch my German shepherd. He was communicative, kind, and sent me frequent updates. He was attentive to everything I mentioned in my instructions and I definitely felt that my dog was safe and well cared for. I hope to work with him again!”
“Carolyn is fantastic, she has such a warm heart and is kind, compassionate, and fantastic at communication. She sent multiple updates of my pup while I was on a work trip, including pictures, videos, and text. Carolyn also proposed a meet and greet before I even booked with her, and was understanding and quick to find a solution to accommodate when my return flight was delayed for pick up. Highly recommend!!”
“I cannot rave enough about Sandy! Not only was she very communicative before I booked her, but she kept me in the loop the whole time I was away from my Baxter. She was so great with him and the whole process was just really easy. I even extended my time another night because I felt so confident he was in good hands, so I left him there so I could run around Portland by myself for one extra day. I will definitely be using Sandy again next time I return!”
“Moira was awesome! She took such great care of Rufus, sent a lot of pictures every day and filled me in on how he was while I was away! She went above and beyond with the meet and greet, having Rufus explore the place before going there to stay. She took him on walks and made sure to have water available and a foldable bowl for any moment he needed to drink. She was thoughtful throughout every part! I highly recommend her and couldn’t be happier with my Rover experience. :)”
“Kristen and her partner are the best! We had our pup stay at their house while we traveled for the week. Her communication was excellent- providing updates with photos every day, it was something our family always looked forward to. It was clear that our pup was happy at their home - large backyard to play in, lovely walks in the neighborhood, a space to hide upon hearing fireworks, lovely humans to keep him company. Highly recommend!!”
“As usual, Shakka's stay with Don was awesome. Shakka responds really well to Don, and seems very happy. Loves playing with Hunter. I always feel extremely comfortable leaving Shakka with Don.”
“I would definitely have our dog stay with Maryorie again! She sent pictures and videos everyday which was great to see how much fun our dog was having. I would absolutely recommend her to dog sit!!!”
“Christopher is an exceptional doggie care provider. He took excellent care of our pup Finn that suffers from severe anxiety (other dogs). Finn stayed for a week and was completely relaxed and bonded to Christopher when we picked him up. He took Finn on some long hikes and provided beautiful pictures of Finn having a swell time ❤️ . This gave us great peace of mind 😌 We will definitely book with Christopher again!”
“We've had Zoey stay with Jennifer and her family several times and they are so great with her! Zoey fits right in, and even as she's getting older they are happy to help her with what she needs. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was great with our dog, Brooklyn! She sent lots of updates and progress reports. Our dog has severe anxiety, and he had a great time there. We can’t wait to hire her again!”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“It’s clear that Amy and her family love dogs! She provided us with updates and was really flexible when we had a last minute schedule came. Sammy came home happy and ready for a long nap. Also, her own pups are absolutely adorable!!! I highly recommend Amy and family!”
“Peter is the best! We loved Peter’s stories and pictures about our dog while we were out of town for a week. She was very happy staying with Peter. He and his son were very thoughtful with her.”

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

“Bond is never happy to have his regular staff away, but he seemed happy when we got home so Emily apparently was a good substitute! Emily had good communication and sent photos daily.”
“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Baxter and giving him love. I felt so comfortable and confident with her. She helped me when I needed something checked at my place just so I felt reassured. I can’t recommend Julia enough.”
“Tayla went above anf beyond. She noticed our cat feeders were malfunctioning and worked with us to make sure our boys were cared for. Thanks again Tayla, we'll definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”
“HUGE Dana fan!! I needed to book someone semi-last minute to watch my senior cats while I was away for the holidays, and Dana was so warm and kind from the very beginning of our interactions. Meeting in person sealed the deal! She asked thoughtful questions, was thorough about their eating specifications/etc, and approached my kitties with gentleness and patience. While away, she sent the cutest pictures and left detailed info about each visit which set my anxious mind at ease. Needless to say, both Dana and my old ladies became best buds! I can’t recommend her enough!! ♥️😸”
“Kayla was great from start to finish. She was a great communicator, and I didn’t worry about my critter in the least! When I got home, all instructions had been followed and it was clear she had been well cared for. Thanks, Kayla!”
“Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.”
“Roree!!!!! You took such great care of Chewy! Thank you for the daily communication and pictures! I truly appreciate the care you gave my little baby🐱this is the first time I have felt so happy with the person caring for him while I was gone, and I could tell when I got home that he was well taken care of while I was gone. Thank you so much!”
“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She went above and beyond what is expected from a sitter, and we felt confident that our baby was in good hands. Thank you Courtney!”
“Marissa is a fantastic pet sitter. My cats adore her and she gives them so much attention on her visits. I am always so excited to see her photo updates. My cats are not overly high-need, but she does a great job making sure their food is full, their water is fresh, and their litter boxed is cleaned. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and someone I absolutely trust with my pets. I have so much peace of mind knowing she will be there to take care of my best buds when I am out of town.”
“Chelsea is amazing! We will definitely be re-booking with her! She is great with communication, asking any questions, and thorough in her visits and follow ups.”

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

“Leah was able to accommodate me last minute when I visited Portland and needed a place for my dog to be for a few hours between hotels. She gave me frequent updates and it felt like I had left Beau with an old friend. Will definitely keep her in mind next time I visit!!”
About: I adore all animals, available for drop-ins, walks, and puppy play dates with my dog. I’m currently self-training a wonderful psychiatric service dog, Sobek (still in training). Together we have taken a large number of classes, passed the CGC, volunteered with Oregon Humane Training, canine PT, and had a whole lot of fun along the way. I am familiar with positive reenforcement, force free, settle training, crate training, socialization, clicker training, agility and capturing calm behaviors. I have experience with animals who have mild to moderate mobility issues, puppies, senior and special needs, safe stretching/activity monitoring, and reactive body language. *I graduate from Karen Pryor Academy March 2027* and will be a certified dog trainer then. I’m happy to answer questions or assist you on your journey, teach your dog a thing or two, make suggestions or point you to my many trusted local resources. Inclusivity, flexibility, and honesty are some of my main core values. I am honest about my availability, knowledge and conduct. I’m also a former pro photographer and bound to take many cute photos. They/them, queer/trans affirming. I work from home so I am flexible depending on my meetings. I am available late afternoons and evenings unless otherwise noted in my schedule. I’m fairly organized and pet-proof my own home. I always treat other’s homes as if they were my own, meaning I pack out what I pack in and respect the boundaries of humans and pets who live there.
“Jennifer and her family took care of Junie for the evening and junie was so happy when she got home! We will always request Jennifer whenever we need a sitter! Junie loves hanging out with their family & dogs!”

“Kathryn was great with our 9 month old puppy! We needed someone last minute to walk Theo and she was very responsive and professional. She came over the night before to introduce herself and meet him. She took great care of him on his walk and even went above and beyond to clean up a small mess he made. Will definitely book again!”
“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”
“Our 17-month old Boxer is full of energy and we haven’t yet trained him to stop pulling on leash. He was staying with his senior grandparents while we traveled, so we hired Victoria to take him on a long daily walk since she knows how to handle a strong dog. Victoria was great! She was timely every day, communicated well before and during the week she walked our pup, and sent great report cards. She asked our thoughts on walking her dog with ours, which we enthusiastically endorsed - our dog loves friends. Her dog and ours had a great time together and our puppy was thrilled when Victoria arrived every day. This was a great experience for us and our puppy.”
“Jordan was great. Pepper took a minute to adjust and get used to him, by no fault of his own. Then she walked just fine. Jordan was very responsive, communicative, and flexible. We appreciated the last minute availability. Would definitely use Jordan again.”
“Great dog walker and even better person. She made sure our pup got all the walking she needed and was able to schedule on short notice. Definitely a life saver in a pinch!”
“So grateful to find Shannon in a pinch today. She was so awesome easy pick up easy drop off and I seem to like rocket loved her.. would definitely book her again in the future”
“Casey was super with my elderly chihuahua and also was very communicative around planning. I appreciated getting to have a meet n greet prior. Thanks for taking great care of Lucy!”
About: I have been on Rover for about 5 years now. I have taken care of multiple animals during my time. It brings me joy caring for animals. I will make sure your animal has the best time while your away :) I have grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life. I have two German Shepards at home that are full of energy and very playful. I feed them, pick up after them, and most importantly play! We also have a small multipoo dog in our home as well. Being surrounded by dogs my whole life has made me feel very comfortable around them. My old housemate had a cat that loved to play with toys. He cuddled with you but only when he wants (but I’ll take it). He was a very friendly cat. I just love animals and nurturing a comfortable environment for them to be in. I took a break from Rover but I am happy to be back! My schedule is open and I am committed to your needs. I can be flexible if needed! When visiting a client's home, I will ensure that their pet is well taken care of with all their needs met. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I am very careful of any special instructions, medications, or routines and follow them closely. Your home will be left exactly as I found it!!
“Cassie, is amazing! Our dog gets soooo excited to see her when she comes. She has been so flexible and adaptive to our dogs needs. I know she is in good hands when we are away!!!”
“Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.

“Madelyn was available in a pinch, replied quickly and has reliably shown up to give my dog Hiro a much needed walk every week when I am unable. Definitely recommend, and I'm so glad I found her when I did. :)”
About: When I was 12 I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society caring for and walking dogs of all ages and behavioral levels. I volunteered at the OHS until I turned 18 when I began working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, as well as pet-sitting. As a dog handler I spent time 1:1 time with dogs, distributing medication, and moderating large groups. Currently, I take many of those same dogs on weekly hikes, adventures, dog walks and work on basic obedience. As a dog owner myself, I participate in dog sports, service dog training and canine conditioning with my young dog and senior dog. Additionally, I am in the process of becoming a certified dog training (CPDT-KA) and certified behavioral adjustment trainer (CBATI-KA). I work a flexible part-time job, allowing me the time to provide 1:1 fun and intentional care of your pet, that works for you and your schedule. I will confidently and responsibly listen to and take action to provide the support both you and your pet(s) need. Whether it is walks, play, adventures, potty breaks, medication or basic training, I am here for you and your pet.
