“Francis was great with our kitty Fred - we could tell from all of the cute photos that he was excited to play and hang out with Francis. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I love animals so much and love to hangout with them on my free time. I know basic commands and am really good at giving lots of love. I’m currently working part time as a professional dancer and server. I’m free Monday-Thursday and would love to spend my time free time taking care of animals! My schnauzer loves to be with me at all times she follows she all around the house. Her favorite thing to do is play so I play with her a lot, practice training her, take her on walks and she loves to sleep with me.
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
About: With 5+ years of experience looking after dogs and cats, I am particularly equipped to look after big dogs, rambunctious puppies, and noisy cats. I’m an excellent communicator who is reliable, attentive, and responsive to your instructions and your pet’s needs. I take their wellbeing very seriously, and I have a lot of patience and energy to give your pets all the attention they need. I’m typically available every day of the week from 10am-5pm and also available to do overnight stays on Mondays-Wednesdays. I am a recent college grad who has been taking part-time and seasonal jobs for the past several months as I apply for more consistent part-time and full-time work. My schedule is currently wide open, and I will promptly communicate any changes in my availability to you as they come up. I am a responsible and detail-oriented petsitter, and I prioritize pet safety. I keep the owner(s)' house locked, cleaned, and treat all your belongings with respect. I stick to your pets' regular schedule of feeding, medication, playtime, and anything else as delineated by you to maintain their routine and avoid stressing your animals out. I also send consistent updates to owners to ease their worry and ask clarifying questions as they come up to ensure your pets are getting the care and attention they need. I make sure to keep your contact info and all relevant medical info handy at all times in case of emergency, and am quick to act with integrity and preparedness when pets are in danger.
“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: My partner (Chip) and I have completed over 5 pet-sits on the platform, Trusted Housesitters. We both grew up with dogs and live a very active lifestyle, so rest assured your dog (or cat) will get plenty of attention and exercise! My partner and I both work from home, so we have plenty of time and bandwidth to care for your pets! We can take for walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention while we are working on our laptops. We only have an apartment, so no fenced yard but have easy access to Cathedral Park, Pier Park, and Peninsula Park. We're also right across from Forest Park, so if your pet likes to hike, we can take them on a forest adventure!
About: I've owned, loved and cared for dogs for my entire young and bonafide adult life. Dogs tend to naturally bond with and like me because they almost immediately know that I love and enjoy dogs. I am retired and have lots of time and an extremely flexible schedule. I enjoy the freedom to both make plans and to act on a moments notice. I talk to dogs, I exercised them physically and mentally, I cater to their needs, and I watch out for any hazards or dangers. I do everything in my power to insure that me and dogs have a positive and fun experience.

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Dylan, and my entire life’s work centers on relational care, deep listening, and protective advocacy for our most vulnerable beings. I bring 14 years of professional Early Childhood administration alongside a lifelong devotion to animal wellness. I also hold a Ph.D. in education, which simply means I have dedicated my career to building spaces where living beings feel entirely safe, calm, and deeply respected in their fullness. Alongside my background with children, I specialize in advanced, high-needs pet care. I have extensive experience managing complex medical needs for animals, including administering daily medications, tracking health metrics, and providing tender, specialized comfort care for elderly or high-visibility senior pets. Relationships and gentle, responsive pacing are the heart of everything I do—whether I am supporting a shy kitten or ensuring a senior feels warm and grounded. I treat your home with absolute integrity and ensure your pets stay perfectly insulated on their normal routines. Because I am actively on the job search for education administration, policy, and equity-focused positions, I am focusing exclusively on short-term needs and high-utility contracts right now. I am open to overnight housesitting blocks, part-time daytime care, and occasional backup or emergency pet-sitting gigs over the next few months. I look forward to partnering with your family to give you total peace of mind! Prior to booking you as a client, I like to schedule a meet and greet where I can meet your companion, go over expectations, needs, any health considerations or routine organization, and get a feel if we will be a good fit for care. When staying in your home, my priority is maintaining routine continuity and a calm, low-sensory environment for your pets. You can expect meticulous adherence to feeding, medication, and exercise schedules, coupled with deep, intuitive companionship. I treat your living space with the utmost professional discretion and integrity, ensuring it remains clean and secure. By mirroring your exact household patterns, I minimize transitional anxiety, providing your animals with a grounding, safe presence so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Depending on your preferences I am happy to keep you connected to your companion while in my care through photos, medical updates, itemized care information, and maintain open communication if you have further questions. Your comfort is a priority for me and i find this is best nurtured through mutual trust, open communication, and matching your care routines to the best of my ability.
About: From a young age I've always loved animals, and had the dream job of being a veterinarian. Growing up with my grandparents two Papillons, Mickey and Mina, I learned to walk, play, feed, train, and care for pets at the age of 7. Even before that, I was obsessed with a book called "How to Speak Dog: A Guide to Decoding Dog Language," (By Aline Alexander Newman and Gary Weitzman) which unfortunately didn't let me talk with them, but taught me all about dog body language. Now, as a college student, with no pets, I would love to help you care for your furry friends to give them all the love and attention they want! I'm currently working part-time as a theater camp counselor, so will have plenty of time in the afternoons to chill with your pets! I would be free on the weekends and after 4 on the weekdays. I am very attentive, and would watch both your furry family members and my surroundings for any signs of possible issues to ensure trouble to avoided before it occurs.
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs.

I have flexibility in my schedule to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s specific routine and making sure they receive consistent care and attention. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and safe, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re being well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at Orangetheory from 4:00 AM–12:30 PM most mornings, so I’m free and flexible for pet care the rest of the day. I’m available for drop-ins and care on weekdays after 12:30 PM and weekends after 2PM. I’m also happy to stay overnight at your home any day of the week or weekend.

About: I love making new fur baby friends! I have great respect for their intelligence and individuality so I work hard to understand their language and individual needs. It’s important they feel they can trust me, feel safe, and loved around me. I also view play time, good manners, and learning new positive behaviors very important. I am a freelance artist, so my daily schedule can be flexible to the needs of your pets! I make sure they get a good balance of play time and rest time. I have a fenced yard, plenty of space to roam in my house, and a corgi who loves making new friends! I will make sure they both have a good balance of rest vs play time so they don’t get overstimulated. I have a crate available if needed, and you’re also welcome to send any comfort items with your pet so they feel at home.
About: I love dogs. Growing up, I've cared for several family dogs, including a shih-poo named Kirby, a german shepherd/lab/husky mix named Beauty, and two miniature golden doodles named Amber and Rusty. I volunteered weekly as a 'Canine Companion' at the Humane Society for three and a half years, walking, training and cleaning up after dogs, and providing feedback to help them find homes. I had a few hours of formal dog training at the Humane Society. My wife used to work as a vet tech, so she's also a great source of knowledge for animal care that I draw from. I drive from Hillsboro to Portland to drop my wife off at College at 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; I pick her up at 6pm. I can attend to clients in both locations and Beaverton since I drive this route often. I have a cat in a two bedroom apartment. There's a lot of other dogs and leashless dog parks in the area, which is ideal if your dog is friendly with other animals. I'm used to caring for my friend's cats in his home, bringing in his mail and tending his garden. I bring a calm, quiet presence that keeps the cats relaxed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
