“Madeleine was an absolute godsend. This was our first time leaving Twinkie alone for such a long time, and we were naturally very anxious. Madeleine took care of her as if she were her own cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout. Twinkie is an extremely shy and anxious cat who has never been comfortable around strangers, but Madeleine was so patient and gentle that Twinkie eventually warmed up to her. Seeing Twinkie come out of hiding to greet her was something we never expected and gave us so much peace of mind. Madeleine even went above and beyond by getting a Feliway diffuser when she noticed Twinkie was experiencing separation anxiety. That level of care and thoughtfulness meant the world to us. We came home to a happy, well cared for cat and felt completely at ease knowing Twinkie was in such loving hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Madeleine to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and truly exceptional pet sitter. We would absolutely book her again!”

“Kelsey took wonderful care of my pets while I was out of town for the day. She sent pictures and updates, and it was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hello. My name is Alli and I love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I’ve worked in shelters and house sat for various animals over the years. I can wash, walk, feed, run, or sit with your dog. I’m very intuitive and love to learn about the needs of each animal. I believe all animals are individuals and love to cater to their personalities and energy levels. If your dog needs attention constantly, I love to give attention! If your cat just likes having someone around for a bit, I’ll happily hang out. If your animal needs to run through a field to get out some energy, I’ll play chase with him/her! I am detail oriented and communication is very important. I have worked full time at a shelters, and also volunteer. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to drop by during lunch if needed! I’ve had a lot of training when it comes to animal care and handling. I am “Fear Free” Certified, I have completed ASPCA trainings, etc.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience with dogs. I have raised 6 dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and basic training. I’m patient, responsible, and I understand how much attention and care dogs need, especially when they are young. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a full time university student taking online classes, so my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to care for pets. Safety, trust & environment I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of walks and playtime, and always keep a close eye on pets. I have experience raising dogs from puppies, so I understand their needs and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a few other animals all throughout my life. I had at least one pet in my home ever since I was 5! I can groom, bathe, walk, feed, and care for your pets needs. I am currently a college student and haven’t been around my own pets for a while, so I definitely miss playing with them. I have lots of free time, so I am very flexible and accommodating for all pet care! In my clients home, I’d be respectful of the space and tend only to their pets needs and follow all instructions. In my own home, I have a small apartment that would be perfect for small or medium sized pets to feel comfortable, with a nice grass park right across the street.

About: With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, which has helped me develop a strong ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether it's providing a fun walk, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. My priority is always their well-being, and I work hard to create a positive, stress-free environment for every dog in my care. I am a student at Oregon State University but that leaves me with a good amount of extra time for pet care. Not only does it come easy for me, I absolutely love caring for animals whether it is my own or other pet owners. In my client's home, I tend to be an overcommunicator. I am always letting my client know when I am coming and going or when I am in for the night. I also love to send plenty of pictures. I always think that I would want my service and care to reflect how I would want my own pets to be treated.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and I started dog sitting older dogs before my family got our current dog in 2020. I take care of my puppy and have continued pet sitting for family and friends for the last 6 years. The pets I have taken care of include dogs, cats, fish, and a gecko. I work part time right now and I recently moved so I am missing my puppy and need and outlet for my love of animals. I am patient and a quick learner. I am also not a risk taker when it comes to other people’s pets. I will take care of your pet exactly how you want me to and I will obvious give them lots of love and keep them company.

About: I have had pets my entire life. Some of the pets I have had included dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, fish and more! I have had a lot of experience taking care of my family members and friends pets. I have also learned a lot of skills from a trained dog care professional. I am at home almost all of the time so I can spend plenty of time with any pets that I am watching, I can watch pets any day of the week and will take dogs on daily walks. I have a fenced back yard so dogs can spend plenty of time in the sun. I also will take dogs on daily walks and play with them plenty. I can also watch cats in clients homes and will be sure to give them lots of attention and play time to keep them company.

About: I have house sat for many days at a time for a few different people both in and out of Corvallis. All of the family’s also had dogs that I watched, fed (including medications, special food etc), played with, and walked! I make sure to clean up after myself and the pets (including cleaning food bowls, picking up after them in the yard etc)I make sure to send pictures and keep in touch with family’s about both their pets and houses! I know how sad it is to leave your pets behind for a trip so I try and make it feel like you have them right there with you and you know they are getting the best care:). I have had multiple pets in the past including cats, dogs( of multiple sizes) and the occasional reptile! Currently I have two adorable female cats named Luna and Kitty. I am currently a student at phagens beauty collage Monday through Friday! I would have time all weekend Friday through Sunday to dog walk, house sit, check in on pets, etc. I would also have availability in the afternoons Monday through Friday anytime after seven pm to dog walk :). I am unable to offer care for pets in my home at the moment because I am in an apartment with a few other people however that will be changing soon! I have two cats so any pets that are nice with cats would be allowed! In other people homes (which I have the most experience in) I would be able to feed, water, play with, walk, groom, and clean up after dogs or cats!

Lindsey did an amazing job with our dog. We were gone for a decent stretch of time, something I knew would be challenging on him. Even so, she easily rose to the occasion. She developed clever playtime activities to help keep him active and engaged. Patient with him when he was more sassy or reserved. She was very attentive and even going above and beyond to check on him extra when he was a little more stressed. Before our trip I was concerned our dog was going to struggle during our absence. But Lindsey made sure he still felt loved and cared for while we were away!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Corvallis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Corvallis is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,021 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Corvallis. 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.

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 with handling special pet needs in Corvallis. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
