About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been a Rover sitter for the past two years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, and I truly enjoy meeting new furry (or not-so-furry) friends. While I’m most experienced with dogs and cats, I’m confident in my ability to care for other types of pets as well. Just let me know what they need, and I’ll make sure they are well looked after. I work full-time and have a flexible schedule. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and I am in the office Tuesday through Thursday. If your pets need companionship during the day, I have the ability to work remotely to make sure they are not left alone. I have a car and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I just ask for at least one week's notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a walk. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and calm, and always double-check doors, gates, and any instructions you provide. I have reliable transportation, so I can get to and from your home without issue and am happy to coordinate details with you in advance.

About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure!

It's something I'm very passionate about and love assisting people with it. I enjoy training and working with dogs. They're my passion and my life revolves around my 3 boys, they're my everything and they keep me busy which I need. I will ask that if your dog isn't trained that I know in advance so preparations can be made. I take Kiba and Ryuk, and Champion on multiple walks and play vigorously. We also do lots of mental stimulation alongside physical exercise. We also train multiple times daily.

Two to Four weekends a month, depending on the month, and the only guaranteed unavailable day is Monday.

About: Animal lover. Give me details about what your pet needs and I will provide great care. I have 10 years of pet sitting experience. I will walk your dogs and clean up messes. I will feed according to their schedule and most importantly provide them with the love and care I would want as if they are my own. I can do drop in’s to clients nearby and overnight stays to anyone as far as 15 miles away, but for overnight stays I would prefer that my own dog (very friendly) would be able to come too. I communicate very well and will be happy to send photos of your dogs so you can see them while you are away at work or on vacation. Thank you for considering me. I work 3 days per week but am still able to provide love and care to your pets on these days. I only work 3 days per week, so am able to be at home for 4 days to care for your pet.

About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

About: I provide a safe, steady, and highly attentive environment for every animal I care for. I’m reliable, present, and deeply tuned into each pet’s needs and behavior. Your home and your animal will be treated with respect, care, and consistency. I’ve had dogs and cats in my life consistently since I was 11 years old and have cared for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From high-energy dogs like border collies and cattle dogs to smaller breeds and mixed temperaments, I’m comfortable creating a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence. Over the years, I’ve also trained and guided many dogs into maturity, helping them develop good habits, confidence, and a sense of calm within their routine. My approach is patient, consistent, and grounded, always working with each dog’s natural personality rather than against it. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I bring a reliable, attentive presence to every I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter.

I’m currently based in Molalla and can serve nearby areas as well. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and respond promptly to requests so we can find times that work well for both you and your pet. As I transition to the Milwaukie area, I’ll also be expanding my availability to include overnight pet sitting. I approach every home and animal with care, respect, and attention to detail. I provide a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence, always prioritizing your pet’s well-being and comfort. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each animal’s behavior, energy, and needs. Whether on walks or in the home, I stay aware of surroundings and make thoughtful decisions to keep your pet safe and secure. I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter and treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in reliable, grounded hands.
“Everything went great with Trina's drop in visits to care for my 2 cats. I wasn't sure how they would do with strangers but they seem to have warmed up to her very quickly. I've already booked Trina again for a longer period next month.”

“Chad came and hung out with Julep while my fiance and I got married! We knew we would be out most of the day so booked him to check in on her and it was so so nice to know she was taken care of so I could focus on the wedding. Thanks again Chad! You da best!”

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.
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 Dayton 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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
