About: I currently work full time at a dog boarding facility where I feed, walk, and administer medications to 20+ dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all breeds, knowledgeable about body language and able to administer medications. Working full time at dog boarding facility but can take care of your pets too on my days off. Other days of the week I am only available between 1p-2p and anytime after 7p Always assuring the home is locked before leaving and making sure pets are fully attended to whether that’s litter boxes, grooming, feeding, walking or medicine.
“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!”
“Sarah was responsive, detailed, and amazing with our pups! She was able to accommodate all of my requests for my 5mo puppy and give both dogs lots of attention during her visit. After the visit, she provided a lot of photos and a detailed summary of her time with my pups which I absolutely love and appreciate from her. 10/10 would recommend booking with Sarah 😌”
“Kena did a great job & was very conscientious in her car of Murphy. She asked questions when needed to know something, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her when booking another reservation!”
About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I have helped many friends and family with grooming their pets. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:
About: Hi! My name is Nickolas, I currently work early mornings and I get off at 1 pm. I am looking for reoccurring clients (daily or weekly) that need some assistance with their animals. I have experience from puppies, dogs, cats, geckos, and snakes. I am slightly allergic to cats, so overnight stays wouldn’t be ideal, but drop in feedings are no problem. I work 5am - 1pm Monday - Friday, so any time after 1 pm on weekdays I am able to provide services for whatever you are looking for. I currently have a dog, two geckos, and a snake. These animals have given me more than adequate amount of experience over the years of having them. I am caring and very observant when it comes to animals, so no injuries / infections will slip by!
“Gema took great care of our little man (17 yr old dachshund/schnauzer rescue). She was sweet, patient, and super communicative while we were out of town. Will definitely welcome Gema back any time!”
About: Between owning pets for 10+ years and helping friends and family take care of their pets I have a lot of experience with senior dogs who require extra care and things like medication to puppies who just want lots of play time! I work from home which provides me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, both weekly and daily and whether it's taking pets on walks or house sitting. I live in a safe residential area and will take your pet on daily walks, I also work from home which means I am very flexible to work from any location and provides me with the ability to spend lots of time with your pet
“Aimee is amazing with my kitty Luna! This is the third time I have used Aimee for kitty sitting and she does not disappoint. She cares for your pet as if it's her own with love and affection. Also, I love all the photos from each visit! ❤️ Highly recommend!”
“Molly was great. She sent pics with my two cats and also brought in packages while I was away. She stopped by while we were gone during a snow storm and checked the water for us and adjusted heat temps etc. I have already booked her to come for our next trip away and would highly recommend her. I am so happy to have find someone to trust with my kitties and home after recently moving to the area.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“What great dog sitters! Couldn't have been happier with the care, attention, and love my dog received while we were gone. Went above and beyond the call of duty. We feel very lucky to have found them!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since high school from family to friends. Mostly have experience with dogs. Own one myself cute adorable golden retriever named hina. I work early morning shift at the airport and then have majority of the day to myself so have lots of time in the afternoon. I do live in an apartment but live right next to many trails and a lake. Plus a big dog park where I take mine.
About: I grew up with pets and have been taking care of my own for almost 15 years now. I have experience administering medication, such as pills, eye or ear drops, fluids, and insulin shots. I volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center so I’m used to feeding and cleaning after all kinds of animals. I am clean, organized, patient, and have a calm demeanor that puts pets at ease. I will take care of your babies like they’re my own, and follow the instructions closely :) I work 7am to 4pm Monday through Friday and I’m available at any other time. I can go there before and after work, and I’m fully free on weekends. I can also go during my lunch time if the location is in or near Oregon City. I’m able to crate your dogs if needed. I can take them on walks, or to parks or short hikes if preferred. I can house sit and take care of your plants and do some light cleaning if needed as well.
“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boring choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
