House Sitting in Portland

This was our first time using Rover for my dog and I couldn’t have had a better experience with Destiny. We really hit the jackpot on our first time! Max really liked her and warmed up to her immediately. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos which made our vacation easier when we missed him. She took him for walks, gave him his enrichment toy to play with when he seemed bored and even played games with him to keep him stimulated. Our house looked great when we got home too! We already rebooked with her for our trip next month and I have zero stress about leaving Max in her care. Definitely recommend booking with her :)

Sophia was great watching my dog Cooper while I was out of town. She sent plenty of photos and provided a lot of updates which I appreciated. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Will definitely book her again!

Madeleine was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Olive, who can be quite nervous and shy. She showed so much patience. We loved receiving regular updates and photos—they gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Madeleine also took great care of our home and left everything spotless. We’re so grateful to have found her and have already recommended her to friends. Truly a fantastic sitter!

Jay had a very calm, easy manner, assuring that our anxious Jaco would trust his new sitter. Jay was dependable, arrived on time, communicated frequently, and left the house in order. I'm glad that we found her and look forward to having her take care of Jaco again.

Brook was amazing!! So kind and attentive to the instructions I left. She has such a warm presence and my doggo loved her! We are so appreciative and will rebook with her in the future!

We cannot say enough good things about Ryan and David. They went above and beyond for our little senior girl while we were away. We were worried about leaving her, but Ryan put us at ease immediately, and we could see how comfortable Maggie felt too. Ryan kept us updated with photos and texts, kept Maggie comfy with treats like a heat pad and walks in the front pack, and even went the extra mile and stayed another night to be with Maggie when our flight home was canceled. Ryan is so kind and we won’t look anywhere else for our dogs.

Sergey did an amazing job watching our two dogs for a little over a week. They’re a bit anxious, one takes a long time to warm up but they ended up becoming friends which allowed us to really relax and enjoy our vacation. We are super thankful, and if we travel again will hope to have him watch our pups again!

Celine was amazing! She was very accessible and flexible and I knew my dog was well cared for even when I was out of cell service for most of the time. This was my first time using Rover and Celine and I will definitely be calling back!!

Viva is the best of the best! My elder dog of 14 years has some complicated health issues that require pills and management, along with lifelong anxiety, and one new health issue emerged right around the time I had to go out of town. Viva was up to take on the extra complications, and was so caring and on top of everything. She also left my house really clean after her stay. Highly recommend.

John did a great job watching our animals while we were away on vacation. He came to meet them and get instructions ahead of time and checked in with us daily during the stay. They were both very happy and healthy on our return! Would definitely book John again.

Lynne did everything I asked for which is a lot. I’m very particular about what is best for my dog, Gus. Lynne walked him, socialized with him, played with him, and kept her eye on him. In addition, she sent me photos and remarks, and when she left, she cleaned sheets, took out garbage, and ran the dishwasher. She was amazing.

Lindsay is fantastic! She took care of our two pups while we were away and was wonderful: communicative, attentive, responsible and personable. The dogs loved her! We highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely book with her again in the future.

Sami is an amazing sitter! We interviewed 5 people and came back to Sami because she had a chill vibe, which was great for our active dog. We hired her to house sit for 3 whole weeks and she was the best and proactive sitter we’ve ever had. She left summaries/ pictures everyday on how our dog did and kept our active dog stimulated. What I love about Sami is that we never had to reach out to her because we hadn’t heard. Most people start slacking. She was on top of it the entire 3 weeks. This made us trust her 100% and we never had to worry or micromanage. No one likes to micromanage. We could see how much our dog trusted her. The pup was having a blast. Sami went above and beyond and changed the batteries for us and even cleaned the sheets/ towels without us even asking. An all around professional. I would hire her again in a heart beat. If you are in need of a long term house sitter, Sami is the one.

We’ve worked with Jackiellen before and she’s been great with our furry guy every time. He can be anxious, and she’s always been patient, calm, and really understanding with him. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares and knows how to make him comfortable in his own space. We’ll definitely keep working with her again!!!
