About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life and understand their needs for socialization and exercise. I will treat yours as if they are mine. I am recently retired and looking to help other owners with their pets. I would be able to work around your work schedule and needs. I will come to your home and visit with your pet or pets and walk them when you are not able to. Most dogs love me and I am very reliable.

About: With a decade of unwavering commitment to pet care, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your beloved fur-babies receive the best attention possible. My journey began as a lifelong cat owner, fostering a deep understanding and genuine love for our feline friends. Over the past five years, I have specialized in professional dog care, honing my skills in various breeds and temperaments. As a pet enthusiast with a keen eye for their unique needs, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family members. My expertise extends beyond the basics, encompassing specialized care such as administering medications, ensuring the well-being of senior pets, and offering fundamental behavioral training (with Positive Reinforcement!). Whether your pet requires extra attention due to age-related concerns or needs guidance in developing positive behaviors, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide tailored care. Trust in my decade-long experience and passion for animals to deliver a compassionate and reliable pet sitting service that prioritizes the health and happiness of your cherished companions. I am a stay-at-home dog and cat mom presently, so pet care is my everyday. I enjoy pet sitting and dog walking because I miss the variety of different breeds and pets from my previous careers. I am experienced with dog handling and care so any amount of instructions is suitable for me. The more instruction and detail, the better. There is no such thing as spoiled and no problem that I'm not willing to help fix.
About: I’ve taken care of small dogs to larger ones, cats, and Guinea pigs for friends and friends of friends. I go above and beyond to take some of the dogs on fun trips if owner allows such as pumpkin patches, beach, or parks. I’m responsible for feeding and walking their pets and of course giving them my love and attention! I currently have a more flexible schedule where I can take care of your pets! As I get a full time job, I will be less available but I will always communicate with you when the time comes. I can give updates however much the client would want in forms of texts, pictures or videos. I can crate the dogs if needed and will always supervise the dogs when outside even in a fenced yard.
“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”
“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!”
About: I can be excited and outgoing, or calm and quiet, depending on your dog’s personality. I’m able to gain their trust quickly, and that’s something I’m extremely proud of. Dogs deserve all the love, support, attention, care (and treatos!) we can give them—and that’s exactly what your dog would receive in my care. I truly care about how a dog is feeling, not just checking the boxes of the basics. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels heard, understood, safe, and cared for to the best of my abilities. ************************************************** Please note: If you are booking me for house-sitting, my own doggo always comes with me! I am able to do drop-in visits and have her stay home, if needed, but not for house-sitting requests. ************************************************** I have a 4 year old mini golden retriever that gets along great with other dogs and she loves little kids too. I’m in a small apartment and don’t have a yard, so it might be best if I travel to you so your dog feels safe and comfortable in their environment.
“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gresham
Ren was fantastic! They really took care with my two senior cats to make sure they're needs were met. They were flexible and gave good feedback for adjusting the cat food when my boys were being picky. I'm sure my boys felt at home with Ren, even if it took some getting used to with me not being there. Ren was also respectful and took care of the house in my absence. I had a good return. Thank you Ren!
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Gresham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gresham is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $80 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 November 2026, there are 4,498 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gresham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
