About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 35 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I've shared my life with beloved pets, cared for neighborhood animal friends, and welcomed animals into my home. After losing our family dog a couple of years ago, I've found so much joy in sharing that love with other animals. Every animal has its own personality, quirks, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. I'm also a registered nurse with 20 years of experience, which has made me patient, observant, compassionate, and attentive to the little details. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for a beloved family member. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I care for animals the way I would want someone to care for my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet won't be spending long stretches feeling lonely! My husband of 26 years is also a huge animal lover, so there's no shortage of love, cuddles, and attention in our home. Caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy, and we love making them part of our daily lives. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. My husband and I are both lifelong animal lovers, and your furry family member will receive double the cuddles and attention! I'm also happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. For these visits, my husband would accompany me, with your permission, so your pets can enjoy some extra love and companionship. We respect your home, your pet's routines, and any special instructions you provide. With my 20 years of nursing experience, I bring an extra level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to caring for animals. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority.

“Tiana is an amazing sitter! She did a wonderful work getting along with our cat who is not very social. I am very glad I chose her. I was very anxious since we left for 3 weeks and my cat was never watched after by pet sitter, but Tiana was very caring and professional. She found a way to our cat’s little heart! ❤️ Definitely we will use her services again in the future!”

About: There are few things I love more than animals. Walks maybe. Or good food. All animals have a special place in my heart, and it is an honor to help care for yours. To me, animals are people too. I am currently working full-time but dedicate time every afternoon and evenings to take walks. I’m up for whatever your pet(s) need whether that means a meandering stroll in your neighborhood, a social experience in a dog park or up some hills to get the glutes working. I am always ready and willing to try new hikes and walks. I prefer care in the clients home. The pets are more comfortable at home and my job is not to disrupt the animals routine. I love learning what works for your pet and implementing that routine in a fun healthy way for your pet.

About: Welcome to Floppy Paws' Playground. Where your dog’s happiness comes first. With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I’ve created a safe, enriching environment where your pup can play, explore, and feel right at home. At Floppy Paws' Playground, dogs enjoy structured playtime with toys, ropes, and games of fetch, as well as plenty of outdoor time to run, sniff, and socialize. Whether your dog loves high energy activities or prefers a slower pace, I tailor each day to meet their individual needs. My commitment to care goes beyond play. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. I'm readily available throughout the day and evening for updates or questions, ensuring peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I look forward to welcoming your dog to Floppy Paws' Playground, where fun meets thoughtful, professional care. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With full-time availability, I’m able to dedicate my entire day to providing consistent and attentive care for the pets I look after. My schedule is flexible, so whether it's early morning feedings, midday play sessions, or evening check-ins, I’m always able to meet your pet's needs at any time. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining consistency with their established routines to ensure a smooth and stress free experience. I adhere to specific instructions for feeding, administering medications, and exercise, while also offering companionship and mental stimulation as needed. In addition to pet care, I take pride in maintaining a clean and tidy environment. This includes tasks such as cleaning litter boxes, ensuring pet areas are organized, and leaving the home in the same condition it was found. I understand the importance of clear communication, so I provide regular updates and can easily be reached for any questions or concerns throughout the duration of the pet care service.

About: For 5 years I volunteered almost every weekend at an animal rescue. Handling different pets (mainly cats and dogs of all ages and health/physical disabilities), administering medicine, exercising them, feeding & cleaning. Beyond that I have always been the go to pet sitter for my friends, family and neighbors! In my lifetime, I myself had many different pets; guinea pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, and fish. Growing up my family has always been the type to adopt rescues. Which included having to rehabilitate them, physically and emotionally. It’s extremely important to me to have a good mutual relationship with your pet and care for them as I have/would my own. I am currently unemployed! Therefore, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most days and times of the week(end). Let’s chat and see what works for us both! Safety and comfortability is a top priority for me! I require a Meet Up before booking to ensure we are a good fit for each other. I love to keep you updated through texts/photos (depending on your personal desires). In case of an emergency, I have a vehicle and am knowledgeable about the ER vets in Portland.

About: Hi! My name is Quinn and I am 22 years old. I’ve been taking care of neighbors' and friends' pets for almost 10 years now! My main services on here are drop in visits, dog walking, housesitting, and overnight stays, but I am happy to discuss any other activities you might be looking for too! I recently lost my family Bernese Mountain Dog at 10 1/2 years of age and am in much need of dog love. I guarantee I will treat your fur baby with the care and attention that they need and deserve! I recently left my job, so I am extremely open and flexible at the moment! I have no schedule I need to stick to, so I can easily adapt to what works best for your pet. I am unable to have pets in my current home but am able to drive elsewhere to meet up and/or pet sit. My philosophy with pets is to give them what they need (love, attention, exercise, etc..) while being respectful of their space and desires.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs — including my own. Since I was little, my parents taught me to treat animals with love and respect, and that connection has only grown stronger over the years. I always create a calm and safe environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for. With patience, attention, and genuine love, I make sure your pets are always in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m available in the mornings and again after 5 p.m. (I have classes from 3 to 5). On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available all day. I can also help during weekends and evenings if needed. I live in an apartment with a balcony and have several parks nearby, perfect for walks and playtime. I can take care of pets either in my home or in their own home, depending on what makes them feel most comfortable. I always make sure they are safe, supervised, and happy — whether that means relaxing indoors or staying active at the park.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been a Rover sitter for the past two years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, and I truly enjoy meeting new furry (or not-so-furry) friends. While I’m most experienced with dogs and cats, I’m confident in my ability to care for other types of pets as well. Just let me know what they need, and I’ll make sure they are well looked after. I work full-time and have a flexible schedule. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and I am in the office Tuesday through Thursday. If your pets need companionship during the day, I have the ability to work remotely to make sure they are not left alone. I have a car and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I just ask for at least one week's notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a walk. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and calm, and always double-check doors, gates, and any instructions you provide. I have reliable transportation, so I can get to and from your home without issue and am happy to coordinate details with you in advance.

Myka is wonderful with my hyper-reactive cane corso! She comes in, gets Athena hooked up to the leash right away, and takes her for a good walk. Myka has gone above and beyond with keeping me updated and informed of any issues or conditions that need addressed. Athena is very comfortable around Myka, which is quite rare for Athena. Myka comes in with a quiet confidence and just takes charge of things for Athena. I dont know what I'd do without Myka!

We had a great experience with Sophia! She dropped in on our girls for three days this week and was wonderful. She was always prompt and on time, followed everything we asked, and even took the girls for a walk one day, which was such a nice bonus! Most importantly, the girls seemed happy and comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were at work. Everything went smoothly, and we had absolutely no complaints. We would definitely be happy to have her watch them again!

Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!

Our trip out of town was last minute and we had never met JuliAnna prior this but we had her a chance and we lucked out! She handled our dog fantastically with almost no guidance from us. Extremely trustworthy and my dog had never been this happy. I can’t recommend JuliAnna enough!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Gladstone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gladstone is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 6,351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gladstone. 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.

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 Gladstone 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Gladstone with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gladstone. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
