“Laura is great about communication and took good care of my girls. She followed up during and after her drop ins visits. Both girls gave 2-paws-up review, even the nervous one!”
“This was our first time using Rover. It is a bit scary letting someone in your home you never met, but we couldn't be more happy with Kaia. She took very good care of our cat, Rocky. She played with him, cleaned his litterbox, cleaned the cat dish, and sent us daily updates and pictures. We came home and the house was spotless and the cat was happy. I can only recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting service in Forest Grove, OR. She even walked to our house on a Sunday to take care of our cat because the local bus service doesnt service the community on Sundays.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I can care for cats and dogs. I personally have a 110 lb dog, so giant dogs don’t bother me. I’ve spent two weeks house sitting for family friends before to care for there couple labs. I’m currently in college part time with online classes, I have tons of flexibility with my time. I can wake up early to walk your pets, since how hot it has been lately. I have a 110 lb Pitt-bull mastiff mix that I walk daily, and care since she is my fur baby. I understand how people will react to big dogs on walks and I have the ability to control a big dog is startled or provoked.
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!
“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places. Della jumped down from the cat tree in the office when we got home, she was napping up top. Hopefully, as she gets to know you, she will come out and play with you!”
“Chanay takes the stress away with leaving Danner & Junior at home while I travel. Both are senior guys, and she does so well with them. So dependable, kind and trustworthy! Thank you Chanay!”

I am free on Thursdays and Fridays as far as week days go. I also can work on the weekend too. I just need notice so that I can accommodate. I am very good at respecting the space of the owners home and can make sure that things are in good order both during and after pet sitting.
About: Hello, my name’s Britt & I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl !!

“Emily was very caring and try her best to be flexible for my last min request. She is very responsible when it comes to care my cat while I’m gone and share with me of my cats behavior to avoid any possible issues. I appreciate her to above and beyond as I love my cat. Will definitely look for Emily to care my cat again and highly recommended! :)”

About: I’ve unofficially trained my parents dog, and currently training my puppy! I am learning a lot along the way, and more than willing to share. I am currently working on my masters online! Dropping in on your pet and getting out of the house fits really well with my schedule! My program is flexible. I am very attentive, making sure they meet all of their enrichment needs and mental stimulation. I’ll learn your dog’s favorite way of plays and bring one of my DIYs enrichment toys if needed!
“Talon was a thorough pet sitter. She was detailed in ensuring the hygiene, activity, food/drink, and med needs of eat dog and cat.

“Alaina is the best! She was very patient and understanding with my shy pup. She was also amazing with my elderly pup and was very observant of their behavior. She really helped me feel less stressed about being away from all three of my pups.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I love them oh so dearly! I’ve stayed in homes of family friend dog owners for a few years now, mostly just taking care of the dogs and going on walks, as well as watering plants when needed. I’m not much of a cat person, I didn’t grow up with cats but I can do what is needed of me. I work part time, around 25 hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and make sure they are well taken care of. I will care for your baby in your own home where they have all their favorite toys and comfort spots. I will take them for walks and give them all the snuggles they need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Grove
Isaac is awesome! We have 3 dogs, 2 very large Cane Corsos and a pitbull mix. Our male Corso is the challenge, his trust has to be earned before he relaxes. He is actually our most loving dog, but not to strangers. He’s a guard dog no question. Issac is working with him, earning his trust and is not intimidated by him. ( thank goodness 🙏). We have FINALLY found someone! I highly recommend Isaac.
Ruby did an amazing job! I have an elderly cat that takes meds 2x a day and frequently has accidents, and a boy cat that’s crazy for attention and Ruby tended to them both amazingly. She’s so responsible, I didn’t have to worry about them one bit. Got home and cats were happy and house was clean. I can tell she took great care of them. Thank you Ruby!
50000/5 stars for Aurora! She was so kind and helpful and took great care of our kitties! She kept up updated on the feedings and sent us photos which was the best. She really cares about taking care of your pets and I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Aurora!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Grove is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. 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 6,486 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
