“Merry was absolutely phenomenal! ❤️ She loved our cats, gave them all the attention and care I had asked for, treated them like her own, and sent us pictures every day. Knowing our girls were in such loving and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Merry kept in constant communication, which made us feel even more comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our fur babies! I will definitely be booking with Merry again for any future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares! 🐾💕”
“Ashley did a great job with our two kitties. She popped over to our house prior to our trip to meet the kitties and know her way around the house. We appreciated the daily updates and photos, as well as cleaning up the messes the kids had made. Any concerns we had were taken care of. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have some training with a professional trainer and I am especially equipped to handle big dogs since I own two of my own. I'm the kind of person who loves dogs and wants to spend time and engage with dogs because they bring me to a higher level. I'm available 24/7 since I attend school in the mornings I can be with the dog constantly if that is needed. I even have some medical knowledge (the most basic stuff of course such as nail trims, ear cleans, minor injury attention and I am capable of calming any dog down during a crisis should one occur. Im a great person to have around if you want to be gone for longer then a couple days because im very low maintenance and don't make a mess. I have free time on a weekly basis unless otherwise stated and am available whenever you need me during the day or night for sure. I supervise all play and interactions between pets and ensure that the animals do not overstimulate or get aggressive. Don't set them up to fail.
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.
“Rachelle did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away. She took the time before I left to get to know my cat, her particular needs, and ask many questions to ensure she was well cared for. While caring for my cat, she communicated frequently and was very responsive. I would definitely ask her to care for my pets again!”
“Orion is the best! We needed to adjust our dates and they were totally flexible...our dogs absolutely loved them and the photos were so fun! Already looking at dates to have them back!”
About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:
About: I have previous experience in the veterinary field as an assist/tech for 4 years. I am well versed in medications and prescription diets and understand animal behavior. I am very patient with nervous animals too! I currently work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. However, I am able to come by 2-3 times per day depending on your pets needs! I would do an early morning visit at around 7am, a check in at 3-4pm, and an additional check in later in the evening depending on your needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you! I will care for your pets as I do my own! I understand that each pets needs will be different and will make accommodations as needed. You know your pets best, so I will follow all instructions provided to ensure the best care.
“We are so incredibly lucky and thankful to have Katherine’s care and support. It was so wonderful to come home to a happy, warm, content dog. I so super appreciate Katherine for always taking care of our needs. On time. Professional. Reliable. Communicative. Everything we want and need. Thank you.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. At one point my family had eight cats and two dogs. I recently had a rescue cat that followed me home. He had cancer so I had to give him medicine orally every day. I have two 50 lb dogs right now as well. They are both rescue puppies and the first one I got was sick, so I had to give her medicine daily. She is great now! I am comfortable with dogs and cats that require extra care. I am a stay-at-home mom so as long as I'm not dropping off or picking up my boys, I am available. I have a vehicle so I can get to wherever I need to go. When I am at a client's house I will always follow the procedures and guidelines that they feel comfortable with whether I am taking their pet out for a walk or just checking in to make sure their pet is happy and healthy.
About: Throughout my life I have always lived with at least 2 pets (except right now, ironically). Having previously lived in Estacada I helped take care of different types of animals; dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and pigs. The idea of helping others make their critters happy while they're away or at work fills me with joy! It can be hard to know that our pets are at home all alone, but I'd love to help make that time a little easier for everyone. My experience with dogs ranges across many breeds; chow, husky, lab, retriever, German shepherds, great Pyrenees, chihuahua, etc. Not only do I love dogs, but love, love cats as well! I am open to traveling around the Portland Metro area, and really love a change in scenery. While I do not require a meet-and-greet, I do suggest it if your pet has anxiety since leaving our lovable fuzzballs with a complete stranger can be stressful for them. When it comes to dogs/cats with special circumstances, I am skilled in giving oral medicines and treating wounds. I have also dealt with dogs with anxiety and separation issues--one of our shepherds suffered greatly from these. When it comes down to it, each animal is unique, and each owner's approach to their care will be unique as well. I am happy and willing to follow special requests to make sure that each animal feels safe, loved, and happy. Currently I am able to shift my focus back to pet care more so than in the past. I'm very excited to be back at it and to meet some new faces! Early morning go-getters and late night snugglers are all on the table. I try to adopt an energy of calm and happiness while I'm getting close to a pet. After that, as long as they wish, it's all toys and cuddles! As far as walks go, I believe that being confident and exuding that helps to not only keep the dog(s) attentive, but also puts them at ease knowing that "the pack" has their head in the game.
“This woman went above and beyond to help me out with a last minute cancel she came to my house and stayed for quite a long time with my cat sent pictures and video and took into consideration his needs and was so kind and communicative the whole time I’m so thrilled with her I will definitely book her again and appreciate your flexibility and understanding throughout our interactions.”
“Kaylin is detail oriented, a clear communicator, and made my shy cat feel safe. I appreciated her willingness to come by for a meet and greet and all of the updates along the way”
About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life, and pets truly are my family. I started with cats, even bottle-feeding a litter of kittens several times a day when their mother disappeared. Later I got my first dog, trained him myself, and worked in the training section at PetSmart. Now, with over 20 years in business as a solo pet-care professional, I’ve handled allergies, separation anxiety, aggression, hip dysplasia, blindness, and more. That experience means I notice the small things, stay calm in the tough moments, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. When you’re away, you can feel confident your pet is with someone who will love and protect them as if they were my own. Reach out and let’s talk about how I can help care for your furry family member. My weekly schedule includes some transportation responsibilities, but I also have several hours of availability throughout the day. I typically start my day around 5:00 a.m. and wind down around 10:00 p.m., giving me a fairly flexible schedule. I am also fully available on weekends. I am dependable, flexible, and able to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for pets to play and enjoy themselves. I have one dog of my own, Pup Pup, who is a 40-pound Pug/Boston Terrier mix. He is very friendly, social, and absolutely loves the company of other animals. He would be more than happy to keep your pet entertained and provide a friendly companion during their stay!

Heather has been doing drop in visits for my 2 German shorthairs for the past year, since they were puppies. She is always reliable and very easy to communicate with. She has great availability and has been so flexible and understanding with scheduling and last second changes.
Jessica clearly loves dogs very much and is wonderfully patient. She was so great and calm when our pup (who gets overexcited and pees when meeting new people) peed on her shoes. Jessica came when promised, took great photos of the pups, and hung out with them and played for bit. She allowed us to have a long day out, and it was great to have someone we could trust help out our furbabies.
Penny was So unbelievably great when my plans changed and I needed a dog sitter with only a few days notice in advance. She was amazing with my alaskan malamute and I am so happy we got in touch. I'll definitely be rebooking the next I'll be out of town. She gave consistent updates and photos during her visits with him. He was in very safe hands with her and it gave me a huge sense of relief knowing someone with so much care and attention was lookimg over my little guy.
Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gresham is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 6,287 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gresham. 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 Gresham 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 Gresham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
