“Patricia did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were away! We have three cats and one dog, and our dog had to wear a cone for medical reasons during our six-day trip, so we were understandably a little nervous. She stayed at our home and took excellent care of both our pets and the house. Her communication was outstanding - she sent regular photo updates and always let us know if she needed to leave the house, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We were completely comfortable with the pets being alone for up to eight hours, but we really appreciated that she kept us informed anyway. It was clear our pets were happy and well cared for, and we came home to relaxed, happy animals and a clean house. This was our first time booking with her, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“We are delighted to have Kim stay in our home and care for our Stella. Stella was her usual self, happy to see us and with no changes in her behavior. The house was spotless after Kim’s 9 day stay. We look forward to rebooking Kim in the future.”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Erica and her sweet daughter! They took care of our fur babies and sent adorable pictures along the way. She eased all my anxieties about leaving our pets for the first time ever. We will 100% use her services again in the future!”
“Deborah did an awesome job with our little mini dashund for a 5 day trip. She was appropriately communicative so we didn't have to worry about our little dude and he was very well cared for, as was the house!”
About: I’ve always been the first to offer help when it comes to my family and friends dogs, although I’ve never owned my own because of my living circumstances I’ve always been extremely passionate about dogs and their behavior and I know quite a bit about them, including details about some breeds, mainly medium to large ones. I’ve owned guinea pigs now for over 7 years, my first guinea pig passed away after almost 7 years and I now have 3. Animals are a huge part of my life and I strive to treat every and anyone’s pets like they’re my own. My schedule is always open as of now, I have more than enough free time to ensure your furry friend is well taken care of. I will do my best to give your dogs my absolute full efforts to make sure they are happy and content. I have a lot of energy, so playing with dogs is never a problem. I can take them outside as much as needed
About: Hi! My name is Carmen Stephens, I am a rising junior at the University of Michigan and home for the summer in Gaston, OR. I am very responsible and have been taking care of animals since I can remember, from rats, cats, dogs, to horses. I helped train both of my family's dogs from puppies and play a role in their daily care. I have experience cat and dog sitting, and managing anxious dogs. I owned a horse in the past which has given me additional experience managing and caring for animals. I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan but home for the summer. I love animals and would be delighted to play a role in your sweet pets' care. I have lots of openings for walks and drop in visits every day of the week and can accommodate house sitting as well. Please let me know if you have any questions about myself that would make you more comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I am offering care in client homes (house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking). I will follow all provided instructions and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you are away.
“We are very happy with house and pet sitting done by Hanna. She kept us well informed and helped make it easy to enjoy our time away from home knowing our home and pet were well cared for.”
“We continue to use Malissa every time we travel. Whether it’s a weekend or 14 days. She leaves our home just as we left it and most importantly our animals are loved and well cared for.”
“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”
“Kenz was amazing!!! Our little puppy had just got fixed and we needed to go out of town for a wedding, which made us very nervous. Kenz was a 10/10 with Archie and giving us a peace of mind. She is bubbly and hilarious and Archie can’t wait to play with her again!!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and can hardly imagine it any other way. I find caring for fellow animals while their beloved humans have to be away is humbling, and I'd be honoured to do my best to hold space for them through that off-duty pending time in their love mission, which could be an intense temporary separation some of them experience. In my younger years, I volunteered at a dog park daycare and have also worked alongside professional dog trainers and rescue groups to support and foster pets who came through abandonment or pass-arounds. My role was especially with those labeled with an "unadoptable" status due to unique behavioural challenges(such as biting and extreme shyness)who needed a bit more deeper understanding. Facilitating better communication and understanding between our fellow animals and people has always been a deeply rewarding privilege that I love with all my heart, truly🙏 Puppies, kittens, and sweet seniors all have my whole heart. Senior pets and some kitties sometimes have a harder time showing their needs, but I know they are always sending us signs, and they are often just expressing themselves in gentler ways, and they truly appreciate having someone nearby who listens in their more vulnerable years. I currently travel full-time in my home on wheels with my kitty family, which gives me incredible flexibility. Because of this, I am happily available for long-term house sitting, as well as occasional drop-in visits and walks in the area I am. ( Currently in Oregon coastal areas ) I work remotely from my laptop on a flexible schedule, so I'm able to give your pets my full attention and keep them good company nearly the entire time while they nap(unless they prefer their own space!) Depending on what your pet enjoys, we can have a meaningful energy burn time in your yard, or explore neighbourhood messages 🐽 on a walk, play with toys and games at home, or simply lounge together with a nice massage (a favourite of my senior friends especially!). I also check on my own kitty family in our van home parked outside 3–4 times a day (about 15–30 minutes each time). Other than those brief check-ins, I keep to a consistent, reliable routine. And I am always happy to walk through what my schedule looks like before you book. 📍I am very open to traveling a bit further outside of Rover's standard radius for the right sit if requested far enough in advance! Depending on the length and needs of the booking, I don't mind journeying beyond my usual zone to come and support you and your pets. Please feel free to ask any questions. :) I believe that stress is a silent killer not only for humans, but for animals too. And I would do my best to keep their environment as peaceful, low-stress as possible, so they can feel safe and truly rest when they need to, while they cannot be with their precious special person(s)🙏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cherry Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cherry Grove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cherry Grove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cherry Grove 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
