About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog for years, who lived to 15, which meant administering medications, moving at her pace, keeping routines gentle, and making sure she stayed comfortable and healthy in her senior years. I have experience caring for senior cats as well, and I’m very comfortable supporting animals that need extra patience or special attention. I keep a clean space, and pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I’ve watched multiple dogs at once in other people’s homes, from high-energy pups who love adventure to low-energy or anxious dogs who need quiet reassurance. Your pet will get genuine companionship, safety, and lots of love. I am living Portland, Oregon, working part time from home, and therefore will have full availability to stay at your home and care for your pets. Would love to help you with your plans and allow for you to travel where you need to go while your pets and your home are in good hands. I enjoy spending my days exploring the hiking trails so if your dog likes hikes and can join, I’d love that! Other than that, I’ll be spending most of my time enjoying the Portland neighborhoods and chilling with your pets. In my home, pets get a cozy, clean space, plenty of check-ins, and a steady routine with meals, fresh water, play breaks, walks, and lounging together. I make sure they feel like part of the household and never rushed or ignored. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and consistent. I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and meds to favorite toys or bedtime rituals. Whether your pet wants adventure or quiet comfort, I match their vibe and keep them happy until you return.

“Shauna was great with my two cats. On her drop in visits she respected the very shy personality of one of my cats, and gave lots of love to my other more people loving cat. I especially appreciated the care she took with my asthmatic cat, to do her best to give him his medicine even when he was a little difficult.”

About: From the moment I first encountered a playful pup at the age of nine, my heart was forever captured by dogs' boundless joy and unwavering loyalty. Since then, my life has been enriched by countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible pawprint on my heart. As I embarked on my journey in pet care, I discovered the profound joy of nurturing these loving creatures and the immeasurable rewards of companionship and connection. I have plenty of time to help take care of animals. I am also flexible on weekends. Would be able to walk your pet midday and evenings. Mornings are tough time for my availability. I am experienced with setting up a routine schedule for a pet: morning bathroom break, midday, and evening. Lunch and dinner are typically done first thing in the morning and evening. A morning walk or evening walk also works. Routines are great for animals.

About: I've had rescue dogs who were able to live long healthy lives under my care. I don't currently have any animals of my own but while I was in graduate school I also helped care for my dads dogs. When I was a teenager, I worked at a kids camp and took care of horses during the summers. I've also had cats, a rabbit, ferrets, and a hedgehog. I've also volunteered at farm sanctuaries quite a bit working with all kinds of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, and more. I've house sat for people with cats, dogs, and even a sugar glider. I also have experience administering medications to animals big and small. I work four 10 hour shifts per week from 4pm-2:30am. The days that I work vary each week. I'd love to check in on pets or watch them for the day on my days off. Pets can have free range in my apartment and there is a small backyard area that is unfenced. If I'm staying at your home, I'll do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and give them as much love as possible

About: I provide a safe, steady, and highly attentive environment for every animal I care for. I’m reliable, present, and deeply tuned into each pet’s needs and behavior. Your home and your animal will be treated with respect, care, and consistency. I’ve had dogs and cats in my life consistently since I was 11 years old and have cared for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From high-energy dogs like border collies and cattle dogs to smaller breeds and mixed temperaments, I’m comfortable creating a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence. Over the years, I’ve also trained and guided many dogs into maturity, helping them develop good habits, confidence, and a sense of calm within their routine. My approach is patient, consistent, and grounded, always working with each dog’s natural personality rather than against it. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I bring a reliable, attentive presence to every I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now, and I maintain a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays, with additional availability on Saturdays. On Sundays, I offer limited availability in the early morning and late afternoon. I’m currently based in Molalla and can serve nearby areas as well. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and respond promptly to requests so we can find times that work well for both you and your pet. As I transition to the Milwaukie area, I’ll also be expanding my availability to include overnight pet sitting. I approach every home and animal with care, respect, and attention to detail. I provide a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence, always prioritizing your pet’s well-being and comfort. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each animal’s behavior, energy, and needs. Whether on walks or in the home, I stay aware of surroundings and make thoughtful decisions to keep your pet safe and secure. I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter and treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in reliable, grounded hands.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brightwood on Rover is $17 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. 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 of September 2026, there are 3,443 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Brightwood. 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.

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 Brightwood 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 .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
