“Jessie has been great! She is quick to respond to communication and very professional. She does a great job keeping me updated on how my dog is doing. I am new to rover and was pretty nervous about having someone checkin on my puppy, but so far things have gone really well. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have always had a deep love for animals of all kinds, and I treat every one as if they were my own. Their well-being is my absolute priority. I will give your loved one all of the care, focus, and specialized detail that they deserve. I work as a substitute Special Education Teachers Assistant at an elementary school. My hours are 8-3, Monday through Friday, from September until mid June. I wait for your pet to approach me so they know theyre safe with me. I will prioritize their agency and comfort. I will respect their environment and home. I follow all instructions and leave no trace.
“Chanay was absolutely wonderful!! I had to make arrangements last minute and Chanay was sooo accommodating! She had great communication and my pup looked so happy after his hour walk!! I would 1000% use her services again!”
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.

“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.”

“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!”
“We keep returning Sarah for several reasons. She is super reliable. She also has our pets hearts. She really cares for them and it shows in the quality and time she spends with them. Our younger dog who needs his exersise loves her to bits and waits at the front window for her. He just really enjoys her company, plain and simple. We feel so fortunate that she is nearby and will adjust her schedule to be there for our dogs.”

Andre walked my beloved dog, Tiggy, until we moved. He now walks my new pup and is just as wonderful with her as he was Tiggy! The new pup is quite scared of men, almost to the point of aggression with snarling, barking and lunging. She IMMEDIATELY calmed down with Andre. Still skiddish, but calm. He worked with her. Sat on the floor with her and was super patient. Within 10 minutes she was going up to him for treats and pets! He never skimps on the 30 mi Ute walks, going over sometimes but never under the time. He’s extremely reliable, punctual and will love your fur baby!
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 great with my little chihuahua mix. I highly recommend her! She walked my dog 2 days in a row when I was in town for a wedding. Abigail was responsible, kind, friendly, easy-going, and very flexible. She genuinely seemed to enjoy caring for my dog. I appreciated Abigail and thanked her profusely for helping me out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Grove is $21 per walk as of November 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 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.
