“Taylor is reliable, kind, timely, and an excellent dog sitter. He took wonderful care of our home and dogs while we were gone. He’s very communicative and left our house clean and tidy. We will absolutely be having Taylor return and highly recommend.”
“Heather is perhaps the most attentive sitter that we have had for Lily. I appreciate how often she gets her out of the house to be able to run around on the property to get some exercise. It’s great that she gets as much playtime as she did especially on good days. The place was kept clean. Heather did have to leave for a few hours every day which she had asked permission in advance and that worked out just fine. Her communication was excellent and I always appreciate getting updates and pictures of Lily. I would have no problem recommending Heather to sit your pet.”
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“This was the first time we left our highly anxious dog and older cat with Jordan. It was a bit if a rough start, but Jordan took feedback and suggestions well, and the visit went really well overall. Jordan was responsive, caring, and had a good attitude. We enjoyed working with him. Would hire him again.”
“Ren was great with our 2 dogs. We booked on pretty short notice and everything still went very smoothly. Our dogs seemed very happy in pics Ren sent while we were gone and when we returned. She took great care of the house, too! Very pleasant and professional, we'll definitely book her again.”
“Aislynn took good care of my older dog, taking notes during our meet and greet to make sure that she had all the information she needed. He got plenty of time and attention, and I returned to a house and dog that were both in great shape.”
“Kiana did a wonderful job with our sweet dog! She was super responsible - with an initial meet and greet, check in beforehand and updates throughout her stay. Birdie took to her immediately, and we came home to a clean home and a happy dog!”
“Erin was great with Auggie! She stayed with him for 2 nights and we came home to a happy pup, and a clean house. I will definitely have Erin stay with Auggie again!”
“Renee was a natural with my cat can be very picky about people. Renee took time to come meet Ziggy beforehand which made a works of difference. I came back to a happy cat, a clean home, and very sweet treats left for both Ziggy and me. Thanks Renee!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life, and currently care for my two kitties, Monty and Piper. I’ve volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society in the past as a dog walker, and love taking care of my friends pets when they go out of town. I’m very responsible and good at following directions. Happy to care for your plants as well while you’re away! Can’t wait to meet your furry friends :) I’m currently working part-time, so my days are pretty flexible when caring for your pets! I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and just hanging out. I’d love to know your routines with your pets so that I can care for them in the best possible, most comfortable way for them.
“Kat took care of our pups through a suppressive heat wave and fireworks and handled both like a champ. Went above an beyond even made sure everybody was cool! She’s super communicative and always let us know how they were doing. We so appreciate her!”
“Matt was an excellent pet sitter. He was extremely easy to work with and took great care of our house and pets while we were away. He was always quick to respond, and I feel he went above and beyond to ensure we came home to a well-kept home and pets.”
About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my dogs and cat sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Added bonus is my house was spotless.i can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again”
About: Currently working at Guide Dogs for the Blind, I fulfill the duties and tasks of a Canine Welfare Training Technician; in other words, I am a kennel tech that tends to the needs and care of the dogs on campus. Like many pets, I am responsible for their physical and mental health by providing stimulating enrichment (walks, kongs, puzzle feeders, etc.), uphold a high sanitary environment, and conduct appropriate diets along with the correct medication. Working with Golden and Labrador Retrievers, I have the privilege to assist instructors with their obedience training and other sessions that they ask us to accompany. Recently graduated from The Teaching Zoo of Moorpark College, I’ve gained the experience to handle, train, and work safely with a wide range of exotic and domestic species: reptiles, carnivores, herbivores, and birds. My duties included, but were not limited to, cleaning to a USDA standard, responsibility of appropriate medication and administration, operant conditional training with positive reinforcement, and daily husbandry needs (walking, feeding, etc.). Aside from zoo animals, I was also a vet assistant of three years. The hospital and our staff specialized in fear free techniques whilst reading and grasping body language, gaining better knowledge of small pet behavior/demeanor (dogs and cats). With pets of my own, I was able to apply my skill sets to train not only behaviors that benefit their house manners (sit, lay down, wait) but also experienced the care and company of what a pet needs. I work a full-time job Wednesdays-Sundays from 7:30-4:00. I occasionally volunteer at the Multnomah County Animal Shelter on Tuesdays, but no longer than a couple hours. I am more than happy to house/pet sit all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I can do evening/overnights for the days that I am working.’ My pets at home are fed twice a day and have walks for up at least 30 minutes. They spend their days cuddling, sleeping, playing with nylabones and soft toys (under supervision). I bring my dogs to the vet for routine check ups, dental cleanings, and their appropriate vaccinations. By doing so, I upkeep their welfare by brushing their teeth at home, grooming their coats, and trimming their nails. However, my pets are back home in California. Currently, I have no animals at home, but maintain these skills at work and volunteer events.
“Meg is our #1 dog sitter! She keeps up updated with videos and pics, takes photos ur dog on long walks, and gives so much love to our dog! Our dog probably is more excited when we’re gone because Meg arrives! She’s the best!”
“Pam stayed at our house for a week while we are on vacation, and simply put, HIRE PAM. She is an amazing dog sitter and person. She carefully followed all of our detailed instructions for both of our dogs (related to medications, walking challenges, sleeping arrangements, etc.), sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip, and left our house in perfect condition when we returned. We don’t want to use anyone else to watch our dogs going forward. Thank you Pam!”
“Noemi and Zeke were amazing! They took such great care of our dogs and left our home spotless. The pups were happy and well-loved when we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with them again—highly recommend! 🐾”
“We are so thankful to have found Karynne (esp on short notice) to house/cat-sit for us last weekend. She was responsive, caring, clean, and sent frequent pictures our our kitty so we wouldn't worry. We would highly recommend Karynne to any others in need of pet and or house sitting. Moreover, as this was our first time using Rover.com, she really delivered on exceeding our expectations for this service. So thank you Rover and esp Karynne!”

Emily has been doing drop-ins visits for our chickens for a few years now, and she occasionally house sits our small zoo of dogs, cats and backyard birds. She does an incredible job every time! We feel at ease leaving our pets because of her. She’s even great dealing with our elderly and disabled dog. Would always recommend Emily!
Maryola did such an amazing job watching my dog skyla! She gave me updates whenever i asked, and sent me pictures as well! I felt very confident leaving skyla with her! She did such a great job! Skyla is a nervous dog but when she sent me pictures of her she looked so happy and calm! So i would book with her if i were you! Thank you so much again Maryola!
Zoë was fantastic, and cant say enough great things. We really felt like Zoë cared about our dogs, which we cant say about other sitters we have used in the past. Throughout the stay she provided lots of updates, and to top it off came home to an immaculate house and Zoë even washed the towels and sheets she used. Thank you again Zoë for your outstanding care and look forward to next time
Pam is fantastic! She took care of our timid and anxious dog in our home. Our dog quickly warmed up to Pam. She followed all our instructions, made sure our dog had good walks and communicated well with us. Everything was good when we got home and our dog was happy and healthy. Pam is reliable and we highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gresham is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $79 per night. 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 4,457 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gresham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gresham walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gresham maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
