“Arian is such a great cat lover and caretaker!! I felt completely at ease leaving her my keys for drop ins to my place, and from the looks of the photos and videos my cats will honestly miss her once I’m home! Fantastic experience.”
About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I am in college. I have a class on monday in person for about 2 hours but besides that all my other classes are online so I am always free. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.
“Adeline took excellent care of our 2 elder kitties while we were out of the country. We are very grateful and will definitely work with her again next time we travel.”

“Angela was absolutely wonderful! She took wonderful care of my cat Mary, and kept me updated with how she was behaving, eating, etc. Angela really takes the time to be thoughtful about your pet and go the extra mile - your pets will be in fabulous hands with her :)”
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
“Abby is a marvelous pet sitter! Harley was in good hands and it showed when I came home to a happy cat. She kept my place tidy and updated me with plenty of pictures to preserve my sanity. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve lived with and around dogs for most of my younger years. While i do not have my own anymore, I have plenty of experience around dogs of different temperaments and sizes. I’ve watched anything from a chihuahua to a great dane! I would love to meet your pup and make sure they are comfortable while you’re away. Recently moved and looking for work! We can work around your needs easily due to me not having other work at the moment. I would love to help! I’m big on listening to the owners! You know your dog best!! I only offer care in clients homes so your pets can stay as comfortable as possible. We could always schedule a meeting before you select just to see if it’s a good fit. Im great at accommodating to different pets and their lifestyles, I would love to work for you!
“Frank stayed in our home and took care of our cat for a 9 night stay. They followed our directions for the house and cat care and kept us updated on our trip so we could fully enjoy our time away. Our kitty was happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend and will hire again!”
About: Hi, I’m Kendyl! I recently moved to Silverton after buying my first home, and I’m loving getting settled into the area. I’m engaged and planning to get married this summer, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a German Shepherd that I actively train, so I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and engagement for dogs of all breeds. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love animals and will make sure your dog is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I have a more flexible schedule Monday through Friday during the day. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and training sessions. Since I actively train my own dog, caring for and working with other dogs is already a regular part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk or some extra enrichment, I’m able to provide the attention and exercise your pet needs! I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and engaged, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I ensure they have a structured routine, including walks, playtime, and basic training reinforcement if needed. In a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions to maintain consistency in their pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or enrichment, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve.
“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”
“Cora did an outstanding job with Ollie on short notice…she’s watched him before and always keeps us updated with lots of photos :) Left the house in better shape than it was before. Highly recommended!”
“Wow. Jade went above and beyond for my cat. I told Jade before she watched my cat, Sister, that I was nervous because she’s such an anxious cat and I didn’t want things to be too difficult. Fret not. I come home to see my cat out in the living room- basking in the sun, not a care in the world. She wasn’t hiding like she usually does when new people are around, no, she was purring and relaxed. When I went to pet Sister, I made a crazy discovery. Her nails? Trimmed. Her hair? Washed. Not only that, I had told Jade not to worry about the litter box since I wouldn’t be gone for long. And what did Jade do? She deep cleaned it. Deep cleaned my cat’s litter box just because. I mean come on. Talk about a cat sitter! I could not recommend this girl more. She’s thoughtful, she’s kind, she’s an animal whisperer. Just when you think things couldn’t be better, Jade says just wait. 5 stars and a happy cat waiting for Jade’s return.”
“Webb is great with our cats! One of them is allergic to fleas, and had some skin irritation while we were gone. Webb was quick to let me know and was able to give him flea medicine and kept me updated on his progress. They even got my shyer cat to play. Thanks so much, Webb!”
About: I've worked in the pet care industry for 8 years now. I have experience working in a vet hospital and in grooming salons. I know how to read cat and dog body language and have more hands on experience with pets than your typical sitter. I can provide baths and nail trims for both dogs and cats on request. I recently moved to the greater Portland area so my schedule is wide open at the moment. Sunday - Saturday just let me know what you need. I can keep your dog or cat up to date on their training, work with any feeding or exercise schedule they have and give them lots of love and cuddles.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young child. We always had pets growing up, and I adored being apart of the care taking process. I began to care for pets professionally around the age of 15 and have absolutely adored it. The pets I have watched have always loved spending time with me, and we quickly become friends. I make an effort to ensure that every pet receives the love and care they need when their humans are away! I take pride in ensuring that I learn about each pets individual needs and personality so that I may provide them with excellent care. I work in a research lab from ~10:30-7:00 pm m-f! Therefor, I have limited availability during the week. However, I am free most weekends! I live at home with my wife and two cats, and love getting to know new pets! My goal here is to just make some extra cash, and so I will be focusing on drop in visits! I can feed and play with pets, as well as clean up after them and give oral medications! I care for pets in a clients home! While in their home, I always make sure to respect the pet and their space. I know that it is their home, and I ensure that they still remain comfortable and happy! I build trust with each pet at their own pace, and ensure that they understand they are safe in their space. I never do anything to make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe in their environment! I make sure to have an open line of communication with owners and communicate any concerns promptly!
About: Hello! I love all animals of any form. I believe all animals deserve patience to get to know someone. I’m not afraid to be nipped a little to earn their trust. My style of pet sitting is matching the pet! I understand some animals prefer just lounging around and playing with toys inside, while others love running outside and going on long walks! I have fun doing both. In my lifetime, I’ve owned 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 hamsters. I’ve done pet sitting for the past three years to make extra income for school. Trying out the Rover app to see if I can schedule more work! I currently am at work / school from M-F 12pm-5pm but don’t let this deter you! My office is pet friendly and I can bring along your pet with me (I request that they are potty trained). I’ll be free to pet sit at home / at your place out of office hours! There’s a little bit of flexibility in here, please reach out. I currently have no uncaged pets roaming around the house. Other than that, our house is free for your furry friend to roam with a two dog parks nearby. For housesitting, I follow all rules listed! If there are no rules, I’d let you know what my plans will be for the day! I always update with photos and videos, every 2-4 hours. You can also call me anytime I’m with your pet and see how they’re doing live. :)
About: I previously worked at a vet clinic in Estacada and a dog boarding facility for a couple years in Damascus. I have worked with many different types of dogs and cats. Animals truly have my ❤️ I do work a full time job. I have open availability after work Monday-Thursday, and later in the day on some Sundays! Willing to work around things 😊 I have my own pet. Her name is Reese. She will be 2 in August. Reese would love some friends to go on walks with. But I am more than okay leaving her at home if needed! My last was at a boarding facility for dogs. My boss would go out of town so I would house sit for her pets and the boarding animals. So I have passed experience with pets and house sitting!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carus is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 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.

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.
