“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”

About: I provide more than just dog sitting — I build loving, trusting relationships with every dog in my care. I have experience with senior dogs, pups who need medication, and dogs who simply need a little extra love and attention. I love taking them on walks, spending quality time together, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have references if needed. I recently moved from California and am now living with my aunt and uncle, so my schedule is wide open for pup care! I had to say goodbye to my wonderful dog clients back home and am so excited to meet new dogs who need loving, attentive care. Since I’m not currently working outside of dog sitting, I’m fully available to give your pup the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect — as if it were my own. I’m clean, organized, and make sure everything is left just as I found it (or better!). I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Along with providing loving care for your pets, I also ensure your home stays tidy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m especially drawn to homes that feel peaceful, well cared for, and thoughtfully put together—spaces where you can really sense the love and intention behind them. I’ve found that both pets and people tend to thrive in that kind of environment, and it helps me feel comfortable and fully present too.

About: Greetings!! I'm Clovis 👋 I've just moved back to town and I'm excited to take on new clients! Caring for animals isn't just a side gig for me — it's something I've done my whole life, from dog walking and pet sitting to full-on housesitting. I'm an outdoors person through and through (rain or shine!), so daily walks are never a chore — they're the best part of my day. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like their own, that's me. **Why pet parents trust me:** - Lifelong experience with dogs, cats, and other animals - Comfortable with senior, special-needs, and service dogs — I'll happily adapt to whatever your pup needs - Clean, non-smoking, and fully vaccinated - Reliable, organized, and communicative - Open to both long-term regulars and last-minute bookings - Currently have a fully open schedule, so flexibility is no problem **Housesitting:** I work around *your* schedule, not the other way around. Whenever you need me to arrive, I'll be there. While I'm in your home, you can count on me to keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them — your pets and your space are both in safe hands. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet to see if we're a good fit. Feel free to reach out — I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I am open schedule wise and looking for new, reliable, long lasting clients to expand my work experience in portland. Let's touch base! Look forward to connecting :) I am often found walking, playing, training, hiking with my dog Siggy. We thrive in positive reinforcement, treats, bone / toy retrieval, tug of ear and more. I have a lovely partner who takes care of Siggy when I'm away.

About: 🐾 About Me Reliable, stress-free care for your pet — right where they’re happiest: at home. Hi! I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver. I provide dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I’ve had animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens, and I’ve also volunteered in veterinary clinics and pet sat for years. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take that responsibility seriously. ⸻ 🐶 My Care Style I focus on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. With me, your pet will get: • Consistent, reliable visits you can count on • Lots of attention, affection, and patience • Walks and playtime based on their energy level • Calm, low-stress care in their own home I’m especially attentive to details and will follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. ⸻ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 About Me & Availability Pet sitting is my primary source of income, so I’m available most days and times for walks, drop-ins, and in-home care. I’m a mom of four, and my days are structured and reliable. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet gets the time and attention they need. You won’t have to worry about missed visits or last-minute cancellations. ⸻ ❤️ What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with many types of animals • Reliable and consistent (this is huge — I show up when I say I will) • Great with shy, anxious, or high-energy pets • Strong attention to detail and routines • Regular updates with photos so you feel connected ⸻ 📝 What I’d Love to Know To give your pet the best care possible, please share: • Their daily routine • Feeding instructions or medications • Personality and behavior (shy, energetic, etc.) • How they do with new people ⸻ 🌟 My Goal My goal is simple: To make your time away stress-free — for both you and your pet. At this time pet sitting is my only source of income. I am available most days/times for pet care. I do have 3 young children as well two of which I drive to and from school and sports. I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys in my home for dogs to play. Even in my fenced yard I do not large dogs outside unattended.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, I’ve fostered dogs and have two of my own so I have a pretty good range of experiences with different breeds and personalities. I was on Rover in my early twenties and loved it but had to take a break because of work travel. I’m now settled in Oregon City and would love to take some pups on walks. I enjoy spending time outside, as long as your dog doesn’t mind bad weather, I don’t either. Feel free to book anytime. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. 11:00am-4:00pm is the easiest timeframe to accommodate same day walk requests. I live in Oregon City and can drive to Portland, Lake Oswego, or Canby. It’s important to be able to read dog body language and to have attention to detail. Providing a safe environment is key to success. Many dogs resource guard or have behavioral triggers, it’s helpful to know those in advance.

About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.

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: Growing up in an animal-loving family, I've always been surrounded by pets, caring for furry friends belonging to aunts, cousins, friends, and neighbors. Now 27, it feels natural to continue that tradition. My 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Bonnie, and I are inseparable. We love daily adventures, whether it's swimming at the river, enjoying long neighborhood walks, or making new pals at the dog park. Your pet will join our happy, active routine! As a part time nanny, nurturing is my expertise, and I'd love to extent that care to your beloved pets! I'm looking to fill hours during the week and on weekends. During the week, i'm available in the morning and afternoons to help with feeding, playing and any other needs your furry friend has. On weekends, I have full available for pet sitting. My pets are my family and I care for them with respect and kindness. I extent that same gentle, attentive care to every furry friend.

About: Before providing pet care with Rover, I had had the privilege of pet and house sitting for 7 local pet owners in the Ashland area for a year and a half. I have also cared for pets in Talent and Medford, and the love has been reciprocal. I enjoy actively playing with pets and getting to know their personalities. I also have a van and use it to take your dog(s) hiking in the Ashland trails or Jacksonville Forest Park, or to visit the local dog parks according to your and your pets needs and adaptability to other canines. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I sometimes do part time work as an English teacher trainer and academic writing consultant online--this allows for free time. Caring for your sweet dog(s) and/or cat(s) is paramount. I am very adaptable with regards to your home and preferences. I only request a set of instructions to fully attend to your and your pet's needs while in your home.

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: Our family lives in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced backyard and space for running around. We have a 7 year old golden doodle and three small kids. We love having our friends dogs over to all play together in the backyard, so our dog loves being around other dogs of all sizes. We want another dog in the future, and would love to continue filling our home with doggy love. My husband works full time and I recently decided to stay home with our daughters full time. I will be home most of the day! Since we also have a dog, dogs will get full attention from me for the day. They would get full access to the outdoor backyard throughout the day, as well as the inside to rest and cool off. I will be going on at least one long walk daily. At nights, our dog sleeps in our room in a dog bed. Your dog can too or on a dog bed or a kennel. We also have a separate empty room if that works best.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gladstone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gladstone is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $30 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.

As of October 2026, there are 6,339 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gladstone. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Gladstone. 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 , 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 Gladstone 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gladstone. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
