“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”
“Tayler was amazing! Both of my boys warmed right up to her. She sent video and photo updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I appreciated knowing my dogs were comfortable around her and were well taken care of. I’d definitely book with Tayler again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others as well.”
“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Matthew went above and beyond!! Very very kind person. Very professional. Left the house nice and took care of our kitties well and he even left the coolest gift and note at the end of it. Best Catsitter we’ve had and we’ve had. Highly recommend!!”
“Mark did a fabulous job with my dog who can be difficult. Stella seemed very happy in all the pictures I received. She went on adventures & yet she was bathed when I got home. The house was very well cared for. I will certainly use Mark again.”
“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”
“Jin took wonderful care of our pup and home. We received pictures and videos regularly, which were lovely to receive while on vacation. It was clear from the outset that Jin has a deep love and care for pups. We would definitely work with him again!”

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.
“Our three cats were happy and the garden and house were well cared for. Danielle was easy to communicate with. I would definitely call on her again when I have the need for a house sitter.”
“Erin took care of my dog and kept him company nonstop while I was out of town for a weekend. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog ! Erin was also promptly responsive in anticipation of the stay and during when I let them know I would be home a little early. Erin got my robot vacuum unstuck and back on the charger so it got to run all of its cycles while I was away. Would definitely book again!”
“Amir took wonderful care of our puppies. He communicated with us frequently and sent many pictures. One of our dogs has separation anxiety. When we got home our puppies were so happy and relaxed. We have already booked Amir for another stay. We are very thankful to have found Amir!”
“Kelly is fantastic and my cat warmed up to her right away. She was quick to respond and provided a lot of enrichment and attention to my cat during my trip. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well looked after and I definitely came home to a happy and content boy. I will absolutely request her again for future visits.”
“I feel so lucky to have found someone my anxious pup instantly bonded with. Charlie is so calm, caring, and loving - just what my girls needed. I was out of town for four days and felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. The daily updates were the best and made being away so much easier. I couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Hoopla has helped me with my babies a few times now and recently made her way over during a snowstorm to help when I was traveling! Would highly recommend, Z and N love her mucho”
“We were pleased with Kiernan's care of our dog in our home. She followed our instructions, left our home in great shape, and even laundered her sheets and remade the bed. She took our dog on two walks per day, as we requested, in spite of rain and windy weather. She stayed in contact with us, sending photos and notes on Chiqui. We appreciated the great job she did, and we would hire Kiernan and Jay again.”
“Megan was a really great sitter for our two cats. She gave frequent updates and many photos/videos, and peace of mind while on our vacation. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed to have barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond and took good care of our house as well, and left it clean and tidy.”

It was an absolute pleasure to have Nate watch our dogs. Nate was very communicative from meet and greet to fulfilling watching our pups over the weekend. He was very willing to meet our needs and was warm and friendly. Nate is very down to earth. He meshed well with our pups, which put us at ease. Our pups were well cared for and he did a great job matching their energy levels (think little grandpa dog & horse sized dog). We would most definitely use Nate’s services again as well as highly recommended others book with Nate for care they can be confident in.
Erin is amazing! She took care of both are fur babies and one is a high energy puppy. Erin sent photos, kept in touch and was so sweet and thoughtful. When we came home she had even washed the linens from her stay. We highly recommend Erin and would love to be a repeat customer.
Wonderful as always! this was a repeat petsitting gig because my cat was very well cared for the first time around :) Shelly is trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. I'd absolutely recommend her, and will keep hiring her for my senior kitty's care!!
Jax watched our two little dogs for a week and did an excellent job. We could tell our dogs were comfortable with Jax from the meet and greet and they seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Jax sent daily photos and was responsible for their medications and supplements. Jax kept our house tidy and clean and even washed our sheets before he left, which wasn't requested but was appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jax again!
Alexandra has been so amazing to work with. She understands the behavior of our high-strung little dog. I feel confident she is treating our pet with a ton of patience and compassion. She is also easy to communicate with and leaves our house in great condition. I would happily recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clackamas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clackamas is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $98 per night. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clackamas. 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 Clackamas 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 Clackamas 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 Clackamas 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clackamas. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
