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.
“Cypress was very punctual and diligent, attentive to all information I have about my dog and carefully followed all instructions. I will definitely book again in future with Cypress”
“Nevaeh just walked my two golden retriever dogs. They are wild sisters who don’t get to go on walks much and she just walked them both at once! My goal is to get them exercise and leash trained. I was very happy with Navaeh and I have scheduled her for 3 more days this week and I will continue to book with her weekly! Thank you Navaeh!!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy having pets around. I know how much our pets mean to us and how hard it can be to leave them when we’re away, so I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I’m also comfortable giving extra attention to pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little time to warm up. My goal is simple: to care for your pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, love, and lots of attention. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in midwifery school and have found that my schedule doesn’t allow for full nursing shifts anymore! I love walking and I love animals so I having the opportunity to offer an 30-60 minutes of love to someone’s dog is so special for me! I currently offer pet care exclusively in your home, because I think pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own space and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, meals, and cuddles while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Extremely happy to have met Andre and McKenzie. Andre showed up on time and took Miley out for her morning walk. Miley was a little nervous at first, but what girl isn’t on a first date. She quickly settled in and off they went for a grand adventure. Their afternoon walk also went smoothly as Miley wasn’t so nervous and was ready to go with just a slight hesitation. I suspect Miley, Andre and McKenzie will be off on more adventures in the future. As for me, I very cautious with who cares for Miley, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. We will be repeat customers.”
About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.
About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was a child. I’ve been exposed to large dog breeds (ex. Rottweilers & German Shepherds) as well as small dog breeds (ex. corgis & dachshund's). I am a certified dog trainer, with 9 years experience and can work in some Basic Obedience work with your dog during their stay or we can talk about some behavior modification and steps to move forward for private lessons. I currently work part time and have plenty of time and energy to work with and take care of your pup. I work with my own dogs twice a day but those sessions are very flexible. I don’t currently have a fully fenced in yard, but I have access to 5 private acres I can walk your pup on a long line. I utilize martingale collars to prevent any mishaps or escaping. I utilize positive reinforcement to connect and have clear communication with each dog I interact with.
About: I have been a pet sitter for cats and dogs -- My friends tend to rely on me to take care of their furry friends while they are away! I have more experience in working with medium and smaller dogs/ cats. If you will hire me to be a sitter, I will not stay at your house, but I will make sure your furry friend is doing great! I am currently a full-time worker at a physical therapy clinic, but my evenings are free to give your pup a good walk so they can sleep through the night! If they are not looking for a long walk, I am great company and enjoy caring for your furry friend. I have guinea pigs at home, and although I am busy during the day, I find time to take care of them and make sure their enclosure is clean and livable. -- When caring for my friends' furry pets, I make sure that they are receiving what they need when I am there, leaving them as comfortable as possible, and updating my clients on what I did and how their furry friend is doing. Communication is key to my work.
About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible. I always aim to care for your pets the way I would care for my own, so rest assured, they will be in good hands!
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! She cares for our dog as her own. After each walk, she gives a detailed report complete with pictures of her visit. Highly recommend!”
“I was not sure what I expected out of this but even if I had the highest hopes, Chanay is incredible!! The weight this takes off of me is huge, it certainly is a dopamine jolt that gets me through my 13 hour work days… truly amazing”
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.

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!

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.

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.
