“i was very pleased with Brandy's ability/skills in caring for my cat and keeping me informed of how things were going during my absence the space was clean when i returned and my fuzzy boy was very content”
“Penny was so amazing! She went above and beyond what we asked and helped us out when we were in a real jam. Isabel loved having her and we can't wait til when we need her again.”
“Sydnee was an absolute shining star of a sitter. She took fantastic care of my big boy Clyde (130 lbs, Great Pyr), and was very prompt and responsive to all messages. My house was well taken care of as well. I really appreciate how detailed her messages were and how her updates included lots of pictures from different points of the day. I really felt that she took it to heart to stay close to Clyde and give him the companionship and support he needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of dog/house sitting, and especially those who need a person who can handle a big breed.”
“Dani is amaaaaaazing. I have a super shy cat who I knew would most likely hide the whole time and a couple birds who live in my office/a separate room… and she was super flexible and helpful when I realized my cat might need more space and time to eat since she hides when new people are around without me there. Super kind, professional and a good person all around. In the middle of a move and even with boxes/my home in the stages of moving, Dani made everything so simple and seamless while I was gone. I so appreciate her and highly recommend this fabulous fur (& feathered) family professional!”
“Katelyn is warm, friendly and a great communicator. Our dog fell in love with her immediately and our indifferent cat vied for her calm attention too. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets with her and will hire her again for sure!”
“Went on a trip out of the country and left my cat Gohan for the first time over the holidays and I was so nervous, but I couldn't have picked a better sitter. They were very experienced and it really put me at ease. Concise communication and very responsive. Definitely my first choice for future sittings!”
“Rachel was a fantastic house sitter. I have a dog that can be quite shy, upset when meeting new people. Rachel literally had her eating snacks out of her hand almost immediately. I knew then I could leave Ursa in good hands. My home was cleaned, she even helped me organize some belongings as I had just moved in and my house was disheveled. She had a video playing on the tv, soothing music for dogs 💕 Oh, yeah, I also have a cat. I would highly recommend Rachel and I will be having her return do another visit soon. Thanks!”
“Ruby was a lifesaver for us and our 3 dogs + 3 cats. After having a very stressful sitter experience with someone else, we were scrambling to find a last minute sitter who could care for our dogs who have developed separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for too long. Ruby hopped on board last minute, provided clear and consistent updates, cared amazingly for all of our animals, and even went above and beyond with cleaning. She also was able to expertly give two of our animals’ important medications twice a day every day, and let us know each time that it went well so we didn’t have to worry. She provided personalized care for each of our animals, which span from a shy kitty, to a 6 year old 100+ lb Pyrenees with hip dysplasia, to a 9 month old puppy who isn’t easy to walk on leash! Highly recommend Ruby’s care to anyone feeling anxious about leaving their beloved animals.”
“Ada did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. She also brought in my mail and packages. She put my trash and recycling out on the right days too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Marla took wonderful care of our 3 dogs and a client’s dog while we were gone all day. One of our dogs can be a bit difficult due to his separation anxiety but she did a great job with him. I can tell she loves dogs and it seemed like they all enjoyed her company. She was very attentive to all our instructions and we would happily have her watch them again!”
“Sarah did a great job caring for our 14 year old dachshund and also house sitting. Our water heater went out the night before we left and she was there for the plumber's repair. She also watered our many plant pots and took gentle care of our pup. We appreciate all she did while we were out of town. Thank you Sarah!”
“Mariam was the ideal dog sitter - her care for our pups was so evident. They clearly loved their time with her and seemed so happy/well regulated when we got back from our trip. We have already booked her for a second trip after our experience! Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn wall did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and three cats for an overnight. I would definitely recommend her. When she came to return the key, our dog went happily up to her and lay down at her feet—there’s the proof right there! Plus she sent pics of the animals and was a great communicator before, during, and after her stay.”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
“Alix patiently, capably, and graciously handled a weeklong housesitting stint with a well-trained but not-so-easy hound. Excellent communicator too. She's first on my list for future needs!”
“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, cows, goats, chickens, etc. I’ve pet sat for many of my friends and have references that can vouch for the care and effort I put into caring for their pets. I’m currently in university but I have an open schedule for drop ins, walking, and house sitting! I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m able to adapt to most dogs energy especially within their own home. I believe dogs deserve to feel comfortable and safe within their homes and I do everything I can to accomplish that.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fir Grove
Zoe was a great dog and house sitter for our 10 month old pup! She was communicative, took care of our girl and house, and even extended her stay when our international flight was cancelled last minute. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got back and our house was well tended to. We are grateful for Zoe and happy we have found someone reliable and caring! We would recommend her to anyone looking!
We are so grateful to have connected with Nicole for pet and house sitting! She has a very caring and thoughtful demeanor. Communication was prompt, consistent, and easy. Tango enjoyed all of the cuddle time and attention and we were relaxed knowing that he was happy at home. Our place is a bit quirky and Nicole went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth re-entry. Thank you Nicole!
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and sweet soul to look after our fur babies! Shalya was pleasant, communicative, and punctual. We received regular updates/photos and a detailed account of the pups activities. Blessed to have found her when we needed her. If you need a sitter, don’t hesitate to book this one!! 🔮💖👏
Bianca was great & we highly recommend! After our trusted dog sitter graduated, we were on the lookout for someone new who could be our go-to and we hope Bianca is just that. Her communication was excellent, she was so sweet to our pup, and sent pictures throughout. We will absolutely hire Bianca again for our pups overnight needs.
We could not have asked for a better experience with our dog sitter! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, and it was immediately obvious how much genuine care and attention went into looking after our pups. We received regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Returning home to a happy, well-regulated dog made all the difference—we will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend Mariam highly enough!
Julia is a fantastic sitter! This is the second time I’ve worked with her but this was the first time she’s stayed overnight and it was a holiday! She’s so reliable, cares about your dogs and gives good updates and lots of pictures! She’s also very good at giving meds to a sometimes difficult dog and when my dog got an upset stomach, she communicated with me right away. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her!! We will definitely be working with Julia again!
Had a great experience and all my animals (3 cats and 2 dogs) were well taken care of! My cat who usually needs time to love people was snuggling her within a couple of hours (to give uou an idea how good she is with animals). I will happily request and ideally only use Mathison in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fir Grove is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $63 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 October 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fir 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 Fir 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 Fir 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fir 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 , 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.
