“Mickayla was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever and 2 kitties. She provided meds to one of the kitties, exercise for our pup, great communication and the house was in perfect condition upon our return. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pups! She sent us videos and photos with updates the entire time we were away and never hesitated to reach out to us with questions or clarifications about caring for our pups. :) It made our time away enjoyable and stress free since we knew Kate was taking care of them and loving on them for us. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
“Erica stayed with our 3 young Aussies and indoor kitty for 2 nights and everything went fabulously. This was our first time having a sitter stay with our Aussies instead of boarding and we were so appreciative to Erica that she understood our love for our boys and little kitty girl and how important their wellbeing is to us. She took the time to learn about their routines, their unique personalities and our utmost concern for their safety. When we returned our home was nice and clean as we left it and everyone was happy and healthy! We would definitely have Erica stay with our pet family again and would feel confident going away for longer!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous about leaving our senior golden retriever but Myrna was great. We came home to a content and happy doggo and our house was left in good shape. We have already booked Myrna for our next trip.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd, who has taught me so much about patience, training, and providing loving care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or simply relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe pets thrive with consistency, patience, and plenty of affection. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and love they deserve while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and love I’d want for my own!💜 I do have my own dog, Samson, who is a very friendly and gentle dog. He is not aggressive and is used to being around other animals. For any overnight stays or daycare, I make sure all pets have a safe, comfortable environment and that introductions are done slowly and appropriately. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs, comfort level, and safety while they are in my care. I do have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special preferences their pet may have. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. My own dog, Samson, is friendly, gentle, and not aggressive, and I make sure all introductions are done slowly and safely so every pet feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine as much as possible. My goal is to provide dependable care, patience, and lots of love so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Michelle is the best!! Such a communicative, professional, easy going sitter. Our dog is a big anxious boy and she was so amazing with him. We have had nothing but amazing experiences with her and will continue to use her as our dog sitter moving forward!!”
About: Pet sitter since 2006 and lifelong fur-parent. I love walking, playing, and learning your companion's personality. Rest easy knowing they are safe, loved, and happy! I'm currently taking online college courses and come January I will be working full-time remotely. I have the flexibility for plenty of walks and play with your four-legged companion. I'm very interested in finding a housesit on the OR coast for the Christmas/New Year holiday, so if you're traveling and need someone, let's talk. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide nutritious feeding, fresh water, and multiple daily walks filled with play and affection. Additionally, I prioritize home security, maintain open communication with frequent updates or photos, and treat your space with utmost respect so your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away.
“Cara was amazing! She's trustworthy, super responsive, and great in a crisis! Our two dogs got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night on her last night sitting and she went above and beyond to help. She bathed the dogs, scrubbed the house to minimize the scent, washed blankets & towels, she even went out and bought a professional skunk deodorizer. When our flight was delayed, she came back before bedtime to check on our girls, let them out again, and made sure they had everything they needed until we made in home late. If I could give Cara more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I will for sure be booking with Cara again!”
“Billi is absolutely the best! Our dogs adore him, and he goes above and beyond whether it's a drop by or long stay in our home. You will not find a more caring pet sitter.”
About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.
“Katy seemed to connect really well with our pups and gave them lots of love and attention. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. We plan to book with Katy again for future stays or visits! :)”
About: Hello, Kelley here! I have extensive experience with pet care, but I also provide house plant and homestead care including farm animals and gardening. I have had experience with dogs, cats, fish, snakes, goats, and chickens! I’ve also administered medication (pills and injections) to dogs and cats. HOUSE SITTING: Can include dog/cat care, walks, plant care, all other non-canine or feline pets, house duties like trash, etc. and anything included in the regular house routine. I include light cleaning to pick up after myself and will leave the home as I found it before. Each booking price is dependent on the demand of your pet/needs and charges may apply for additional duties. I am happy to add additional services like deep cleaning at an additional cost. Homes must be relatively clean and livable. My fees are flexible, just ask! I work part-time as a nanny on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30am–5:00pm. Outside of those hours, my schedule is quite flexible, and I have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m also generally flexible about adjusting my schedule around a pet’s routine, including regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with an established routine. Your dog(s) and cat(s) will be treated like family while in my care and will be showered with attention and love. I’ll proactively send pictures of our time together so your mind is at ease and you won’t have to worry about them during your trip.
“Kourtney was great. She filled in for us at the last minute due to a family emergency and did a terrific job with our Buddy. She even cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash and recycling and stripped the sheets off the bed before she left. We would definitely have her back again!”
“Katie is wonderful! She took great care of our pup and home for 11 days while we were away. Our home was clean and pup was very happy upon our return. We’ll absolutely have her stay in our home again for our next trip!”
About: I grew up having a dog in the house so I know what it’s like to care for one, and the responsibilities that come with it. I believe dogs are like humans meaning they need the same love and attention that we do. While your dog is in my care we will go on walks, I’ll play with them, and take care of all its basic needs as well as providing pictures and videos to keep you updated. One of my special skills is that I am very patient with animals. I know it’s hard to trust a stranger with your fur baby but I am very trustworthy and caring and will treat your dog as if it was my own. Thank you very much!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. I take college classes online, so I’m home a lot and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I work from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM, but outside of those hours, I’m available to spend time with your pets, give them attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. I make sure pets feel comfortable, and cared for in their environment. I follow the owner's instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention.

Mickayla stayed at my condo to care for my dog and cat while I was out of town, and I was extremely pleased with the care she provided! She provided daily updates with photos, and followed all instructions. She left my condo spotless and even placed the laundry in the washing machine before she left. She cared for my pets and my condo as if they were her own. I am very pleased with the care she provided and will definitely book her the next time I need a sitter or drop-in service. I highly recommend Mickayla
Erin was wonderful with our dogs. We recently adopted a small dog from Mexico who is still adjusting and can be a bit challenging. Erin was incredibly patient with her and took the time to work with her rather than just getting through the visit. She was also great with our senior dog, who needs medication and eye drops, and she handled his care without any issues. We work from home, so our dogs are used to constant company, and Erin was there just as much as we are, if not more. Thank you Erin!

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 Donald 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 Donald 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 Donald 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
