“Andre has been fully transparent and on time to walk our pups! They love walking with him and he provides them with treats and attention. He does a wonderful job of giving them the extra exercise they need.”

About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life, and caring for animals has always come natural to me and has been a part of my day-to-day for many years. I raised my cat, Winnie, for 20 years, and I currently have 2 pups of my own: a 13-year-old female Alaskan Klee Kai/Corgi mix and 3-year-old male Corgi, so I am familiar with senior dogs and high-energy younger pups. I am currently between work and trying to stay busy and earn some income while my son is at school. I am available after school drop-off from 8:30/9 am until 3:15 pm. If your pets are comfortable with younger children, I can do drop-ins and walks after my son is out of school and on weekends, but that can be discussed privately. I create a calm environment where your pets will feel safe. With my own senior pup and younger corgi at home, I am used to balancing different needs and energies. I will follow your directions and routines closely and watch your pets' body language to keep everyone happy and safe.
About: Hello, my name’s Britt & I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl !! I’m well aquatinted with farm animals & pets, & have found myself to be the designated pet sitter for friends & family for most of my emerging & early adult years. I truly enjoy connecting to & taking great care of all kinds of furry friends. I enjoy getting to know an area on foot, so if your pet likes a good walk I’m sure we’ll make a great pair !! I have found myself in a transitional season of life, as I just received my undergraduate degree in Human Development & Family Studies. Apart from spending time with friends & family & riding my horse, my schedule is open & flexible for pet care !! I am a great observer & truly believe I speak an animal’s language. I’m great with sensing an animal’s body language & other cues to assure their well-being. I follow directions well & tend to an animal’s care in a timely & efficient manner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs when I was little but took a little break. I do have great experience with other dogs and I enjoy giving them company! I am currently home for a while, so I have a lot of time to spare! I’m currently not working a job, and I’m a full time student on winter break! I have a nice fenced yard that is pet friendly. I don’t have any other pets at my house and I don’t have any children!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have 2 cats with me in Hillsboro, but at my parents house we do have 2 dogs I work M-F 8:30-5ish. I have an hour to an hour and half lunch break. I’m available to stay 24 hours on weekends if needed If your pet needs any special needs please write them out. I will treat your home and pet as if they were my own and will clean up any form of mess that is made.
About: What sets me apart in pet care is my hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I am trained to recognize early signs of illness, stress, and behavioral changes. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining a clean, safe environment for pets of all ages and temperaments. My clinical background allows me to provide not only attentive and loving care, but also an added level of knowledge and preparedness that gives pet owners true peace of mind I have lots of free time to care for , take walk ,feed ,clean up after your fur baby’s and to make sure your furry friends get the best care possible ❤️ Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority when pet sitting. I maintain consistent routines to help pets feel secure and reduce stress, while ensuring their space remains clean, hazard-free, and comfortable. I take time to build trust at each pet’s pace, using calm, patient interactions and positive reinforcement. With my experience in a veterinary clinic, I am attentive to both physical and behavioral changes, allowing me to respond quickly and appropriately if concerns arise. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, and cared for as if they were mine
About: My passion for animals runs deep. I have been taking care of dogs since childhood (35+ years). Professionally, I have experience working at a doggie daycare and for a self-service dog wash. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent, healthy diet and administering medication properly. As a doggie daycare attendant, sometimes managing 60 dogs at once, I understand the importance of reading dog behavior and redirecting to diffuse situations. This skill translates to dog walking when there are many different stimuli - other dogs, people, squirrels, traffic, something on the ground they should not eat, etc. I understand the importance of being consistent with dog training and using the same commands as the owners is key. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes but it is important to be intentional with each dog's particular needs and understand their unique personality. There is a special place in my heart for senior dogs. I have been running a small hobby farm since 2016 and have experience with chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, cats, peacocks, pigs, and goats. Feel free to reach out for any unique pet care needs. I view all animals as God's creatures. My schedule is often flexible. I work part-time in Beaverton Wednesday-Saturday. Much of my work can be done online so if you need me to watch your pet in your house for an extended amount of time, a requirement would be reliable internet or the ability to come and go as needed. I have pets of my own so I would need the flexibility to check on my pets from time to time. Working in pet drop-ins and dog walks around my work schedule is easy. I can board your pet at my house most Sundays-Tuesdays. I am able to care for your pet(s) in the specific ways that you need. I will not create or enforce bad habits. I have no problem crating your pet, keeping them off the furniture, following a strict diet, or administering medication. I live out in the country on 15 acres and have many animals. Inside the house lives a 4-year-old sweet German Short-hair pointer and 50% of the time I am watching a friend's cat. If your dog loves to run, my place would be heaven. This would only be ideal for dogs that come when they are called as there is no fencing. The other option would be that your pet stays inside and only ventures out with a leash. I have 12 acres of timber so walks in the woods are super fun!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals at our farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have dog walked for others, off and on, for 20 years. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 50 pound rescue mutts and 2 rescue cats. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.
“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

About: I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I’m experienced with every animal. I can assist you with training and learning your pets language with half the cost of personal trainers. I believe that our pets are family, I will take care of yours like my own. I understand nutritional, medical, and behavior traits in animals, especially dogs! I will greet you, note some basic day-to-day agenda for your animal and you can take care of what you need to. I provide a wide amount of services, including basic grooming and check-ups. Let me know what your pet needs and I’ll see if I can accommodate! Huge backyard and plenty of toys in my home. My dog loves to play with others and nothing wears doggos out more than another dog! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who love having company. I’ll provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while following their normal routine and any special instructions.

About: I have experience with house sitting both large and small dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and care. I also can do plant care as well I currently do doordash and art commissions from home so I have pretty open availability right now! I do have two cats at home so I still need to check in on them as well. I always make sure everything is tidy and that each pet gets equal amount of care. Set daily and weekly routines for them and always check over them to make sure there's nothing abnormal.
“Jill-Marie did a great job with my Jack Russell, who is a high-energy trickster. I have limited mobility right now so he isn't getting his full requirement of exercise. He's also always looking for any reason to go rogue, and she handled him exactly the right way. She did a great job with both dogs, it's very clear she understands and loves dogs, great experience for all of us! Highly recommend!”

About: For the past five years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for animals of all kinds for multiple families. My experience includes working with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits, chickens, and even horses. Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to intern as a horse trainer, which deepened my love for animal care even further. Currently, I work as a veterinary assistant at a local clinic while attending classes at Portland Community College. I'm working toward getting into a Veterinary Technician program this coming spring—a dream I'm very excited about! At home I have two amazing dogs: a seven-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix and a four-year-old Lab/Boxer mix. You can find pictures of them, along with some of the other animals I’ve cared for, in my profile. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends. I currently work part-time at a local veterinary clinic and attend school one day a week. My schedule has me working three days a week, but I’m lucky to have a full hour lunch break—perfect for mid-day check-ins with your furry friends! I also have availability on weekends and would love to help care for your pets whenever you need. As of now, I do not do boarding in my own home, but I would love to care for your pets in the comfort of your own home!
About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for a variety of other animals, including cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. I’ve personally raised and cared for many different dog breeds, including Pomeranians, Maltese, Poodles, Shiba Inus, Retrievers, Shepherds, and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. When I had pets of my own, I also entrusted them to pet sitters, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone reliable, caring, and attentive. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, personalized care in a clean, comfortable apartment with no other pets. My community has convenient outdoor areas and lovely walking paths for exercise and potty breaks. I'll also send you photo updates throughout the day so you can have peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays and weekends. With advance notice, I can often adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. Feel free to reach out anytime🤍🐾

We are so appreciative that Kaitlyn is able to help us with our dog's walks. She is so patient and gave our shy dog time to adjust to having a new person. Kaitlyn really maximizes the 30 minutes that she spends with our dog... nice long walks and some belly rubs afterwards. Thank you!
Abigail was wonderful with my little chihuahua mix dog! I highly recommend her! She was able to take Lottie on walks 2 days in a row when we were visiting the area for a wedding. Abigail was gentle and kind with my pup! We appreciate her flexibility and open communication. Thank you Abigail!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Grove is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forest Grove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
