About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. I am known for being able to get animals to warm up to me rather quickly so I am a great sitter to have if your fur baby is nervous around new humans. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for 2-4 hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and will not be gone longer than 4 hours. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

“Joy was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat, Zero, was well cared for and happy while I was away. She sent thoughtful, detailed updates with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also took the extra step to help out around the house - sweeping, fixing our cat cam, and bringing in packages - which I truly appreciated. It was such a great feeling to come home to a happy cat and a clean space. I can’t recommend Joy highly enough!”

About: I’ve always been the person who stops to pet every dog or cat I see around the neighborhood, so getting to spend more time with animals is pretty much my idea of a good day. 🐾 I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working as a Kennel Attendant at VCA Rock Creek Hospital, walking dogs for a local dog-walking company, and caring for my own senior dog from the Humane Society, Mr Benny. After Benny passed away about a year ago, I still had so much love to give to animals! So I started volunteering with Animal Aid, where I help care for dogs and cats in need of homes. I’d love to give you an extra hand with your furry friend next. I’ve worked with dogs of all different ages, energy levels, and breeds, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. But honestly, one of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s personality—and getting to know their person, too. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company, or your pet just needs someone to give them a little extra love while you’re away, I’d be excited to help! I currently work a typical full-time schedule, so my availability is primarily on weekends in the afternoons and evenings. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. I only offer house visits, so I won’t be watching pets in my own home. I think pets are usually happiest staying in their own space, and I’m happy to come to them! I’ll follow your care instructions, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and send updates or photos if you’d like. I’m currently available for house visits during the times and within the radius listed on my profile.

About: I've taken care of many pets, such as dogs of many sizes, cats, and bunnies in my 10 years of experience. Many friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, play, and care for their beloved pets. I'm currently in school so I can be available to come hang out with your pets on weekends or any weekday after 5pm besides Wednesdays. I'm more than happy to feed pets, pick up waste, refill their water bowl, play with pets, and take them on walks around the neighborhood.

About: A family of 4. My husband and I have both always had pets in our homes since we were children. Now our littles are the same way. We are huge pet lovers around here! We have a huge love for dogs and believe they should be treated just like you would treat anyone else in your family! I am a self employed hairstylist so my schedule is very flexible. I currently only work a couple days a week so I am able to be home with my kids and our dog! I have a decent sized fenced backyard and a dog park 5 houses away from our home! Also parks with lots of trails. We want your dog to feel safe and comfortable so we are okay with dogs who like to be crated and dog who don’t. Whatever makes your baby feel comfortable is what we will do! We believe pets should get to have vacations too. We will provide them with all the love and fun we can!🖤

About: ** for In Your Home Care- I can only service the Aloha area at this time ** Hello pet owners! My name is Vicky, I have 2 dog savvy kids, a great husband, and a super friendly Australian Cattle Dog named Beau(8.5) and Zero(3.5) our dog savvy cat. We live in a house with a large fenced (7ft fence) backyard in a wonderful neighborhood. I have over 8 years of dog care experience. I work full time at a local vet office as a veterinary technician assistant/customer service representative, and have fostered over two dozen puppies for local dog rescues. I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday full days, but if other days are needed we can discuss that at the meet and greet. I really enjoy getting to know each dog I care for; what their likes/dislikes are, what makes them happy/sad/mad, how they like to eat their food, etc.., it really adds to the quality of care I like to provide. My meet and greets are pretty simple. You'll come to my home, our dogs will meet, we'll go over care and any questions we may have, and view areas where your pet will be spending most of their time. Our boarders typically spend their time playing in the backyard with me, my family, and Beau, we go out for walks at the discretion of the owner, during summer we set up a doggy pool and sprinklers so they can cool off, we like to do very amateur pet photo shoots(weather permitting), during the holidays we like to take our December guests to see Santa! if not outside they will be indoors watching a movie with us or playing hide and seek, We strive to to make them feel like they are at home. We do ask that your dog be - up to date on vaccines- CIV, Bordetella, Rabies, and Dhpp - proof may be required - Potty and kennel trained - on flea preventative - KID, CAT and DOG FRIENDLY We would love your pup to be our next guest! Feel free to message me with any question you may have. Hope to hear from you soon! I work full time Monday - Thursday and work 5 minutes away from my house and can go home at lunch for any needed care. My husband is home during the day. I have a fenced yard and can crate rotate if needed. We try not to crate unless your dog is already in a routine of using one

About: I am experienced at caring for small to medium sized dogs, and have experience walking large dogs. I love to play, cuddle dogs, and take them on long walks. I volunteered for a few months at the shelter cleaning cages and taking small dogs out to walk and play. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, allowing me to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I am adaptable and can adjust to your pet's specific needs. I am able to travel or stay at your home to watch your pets. I am serious about safety and keeping doors locked at all times. I like to keep the home clean, especially for your return.

About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dogs and love going on walks with them! I have experience with nervous dogs and higher energy dogs, I've dog-sat rescues, 1-year-olds with their bouncing off the walls, and seniors. I help my mom with in-home child care during the week from Monday to Thursday but I have free time outside of that. I usually can start the day by 7am but will start moving earlier if the dog needs it! I have a smaller fenced backyard with some dog neighbors. We have some guinea pigs in our home but they're upstairs in an elevated cage with a gate at the bottom of the stairs. The neighborhood has a variety of routes I can go on of different lengths to fit your dog's needs.

About: I have professional dog walking/sitting experience from a license company in Atlanta called PetSitGirls.

You will get an update with every walk or visit and I will ensure you get nothing but professional dog walking/sitting experience with me. I currently work from home part time and am available to watch pets anytime. I do not leave home with animals in it for any extended period of time. I live in a safe walkable area and am able to give walks at any time. I am currently working from home and available to keep your pet company 24/7. I have a very clean, smoke free home.

About: Hello 👋🏻 I’ve been a pet lover my whole life! I grew up with cats, birds, rodents, and became a dog mom as a college student in 2015. I know how hard it can be to juggle the demands of life, work, family, and travel while still feeling like your pets are well cared for. My current household has a Husky/Malamute mix, an American Hairless Terrier, and two domestic cats, one long furred and one standard. I’ve also had the joy of being a paw-rent to guinea pigs, gerbils, birds, and hermit crabs! I have experience with all ages of animals. I’ve seen critters through stomach bugs, skin conditions, anxiety - you name it! I’ve been trusted by friends, family members, neighbors, and other community members for many years to care for their pets. Every critter deserves attentive care. If you just need someone to take pet meal time or playtime off your plate, I’m your gal! You can trust that I will care for your furry (or furrless) family member as well as if they were my own. I am open to caring for animals that are not cats or dogs, as long as they fall within the River terms of service! Please feel free to message me regarding small or other animal care. While I do not offer training services, I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and fear-free training practices and utilize only those methods with my own critter crew. I’m a student and a part time worker. Most of my availability is in the mornings, or evenings. The days of the week can vary, but my schedule is updated frequently for accuracy. I’m usually available for meal time drop ins, or play and socialization. I am always careful to leave a home how I found it. I am a double-checker! That includes double-checking that all pets are accounted for, safe, cared for, and comfortable as well as that all the doors are locked, keys are left in the correct place, and pet parents are kept informed. I am also no stranger to an escape artist pet, and I am always cautious when entering or leaving.

Susan and Ian have taken care of my multiple cats with tremendous care. Cats can be standoffish, but as caregivers they find ways to get the cats to warm up and interact. They seek out attention, treats, and play time. I have used Susan and Ian multiple times now, and hope they will be available in the future too. They are great caregivers!

Rachel did an amazing job as our sitter. She not only gave us peace of mind during our vacation that our cat was well cared for and safe, she also was very thoughtful in the little details of our cats needs during her visit. For example when she noticed our cat was a little stressed from the noise of the landscapers, she made sure to give extra comfort, and close the windows for her. Really special care! And all the updates really make a difference. Thank you Rachel!

Laura is great! She is very communicative and thorough. I appreciate how understanding she is of our rambunctious puppy and sometimes overly excited adult golden. She helped us out on short notice for a drop in, and she’ll be coming back for a longer stay soon. Very relieved to have found her.

Shannon takes such wonderful care of Scarlett and Savannah! And spoils them. Savannah is such a scaredy cat but not with Shannon taking care of her. She comes out from under the bed - particularly when Scarlett gets treats for getting medicine rubbed into her ear. We never worry about the girls when we have Shannon watching after them. We highly recommend Shannon!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Beaverton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Beaverton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,603 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Beaverton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Beaverton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
