“We were very happy the services we received! This sitter took extra time to play with our cats and make sure they were doing well, and provided us with several updates and pictures. We felt good knowing our kitties were well taken care of and we hope to use this sitter again in the future.”
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
“We cannot recommend her enough. She is absolutely fantastic. For the first time, we were able to truly enjoy a relaxed and peaceful vacation knowing our home and kitties were in such great hands. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, with consistent, detailed updates that included photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with our cats. It was clear they were not only well cared for but also happy and comfortable. She spent plenty of time playing with them and giving them the attention they needed. She followed all of our instructions carefully and even went above and beyond by providing extra care she felt was needed for our kitties. That level of thoughtfulness and dedication truly stood out. We are so grateful to have found her and would trust her again without hesitation.”
“Lydia dropped in to care for Teddy & Tomi over multiple days, and she was wonderful throughout. She was very communicative and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly trust her with my fur babies and appreciate the care, attention, and reliability she showed them. It’s such a comfort knowing Teddy & Tomi are in kind, capable hands with Lydia.”
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”
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.
“Reagan is a true gem! Very communicative, responsive and willing to go out of her way to make sure our animals are well taken care of. We have a dog sit with her next month for a week and couldn’t feel more at ease with it. We’re so glad we found her and highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Janelle’s care for our pets and home. She was very patient with chatterbox Edith and scaredy cat Rose. We will not hesitate to call her again the next time we travel. 5 stars are not enough!”
“Frank stayed in our home and took care of our cat for a 9 night stay. They followed our directions for the house and cat care and kept us updated on our trip so we could fully enjoy our time away. Our kitty was happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend and will hire again!”

Whether it's taking your companion for a walk, tossing a chuck-it, using indoor toys, or just making sure they have familiar company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, happy, and safe. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to create a stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable and enjoy their time while you're away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since middle school for friends and family, and have grown up with dogs for my entire life. Throughout college, I was a member of an animal rescue philanthropy organization, and spent every Monday morning walking the pups at the shelter, so I am very familiar with all types of pups! Currently, I have a 9 year old Mini Aussie who is the cutest pup with loads of anxiety and daily meds so I know how to handle skiddish babies and medication administration! Additionally, I had a senior Chihuahua back home in Texas that took daily meds, so I am experienced in senior care as well. Looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I have a relaxed presence and try to make every interaction with fur babies special! I’m currently available for drop-in’s and walks before and after I work (9-5) Monday through Thursday. My job is flexible so I have some leeway for those times during the work week. I don’t work Friday through Sunday so I have full availability and flexibility those days! I am available for early morning or late evening times for any services if that works best for your pet’s schedule. I currently do not do overnight sitting. I am a very attentive pet sitter, and am very observant of the needs of my furry clients! I prioritize the safety of the pet in everything I do, whether that’s something small like ensuring that their water bowl is never empty, or something bigger like giving important medication on a consistent schedule. I always follow the pet’s cues to ensure that they feel safe and comfortable around me!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little kid. I’ve fed, bathed, medicated and walked many breeds, large and small. I’ve also been the proud pet parent of several breeds, and I really understand who they are. I try my best to give the type of care each personality requires! I have a schedule that allows me to be available with flexibility. I’m even available for weekends and holidays, but do not provide overnight care. I have a real eye for detail, and would love to make your pet feel comfortable at your home with the instructions you provide. I can never be a replacement for their humans, but will always try to give them the best comfort they can receive while they wait for their loved ones to come home.
About: Hello I'm Elizabeth. I love animals! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. I worked and volunteered at the humane society for a few years. I've had dogs and cats all my life. My goal is to help pets feel safe and happy and cared for. I've lived in Portland all my life. I love snuggling or playing and getting to know different personalities. I look forward to meeting you and your canine and feline family members. My schedule is pretty open. I'm a stay at home house wife. I'd prefer not to do early mornings since I'm on the bus. I will make sure dogs/cats always have water. If your pet is hesitant to interact I will go slow and be patient. I have experience with fearful, shy animals. All of my animals are shelter pets.
About: Hello! I love all animals of any form. I believe all animals deserve patience to get to know someone. I’m not afraid to be nipped a little to earn their trust. My style of pet sitting is matching the pet! I understand some animals prefer just lounging around and playing with toys inside, while others love running outside and going on long walks! I have fun doing both. In my lifetime, I’ve owned 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 hamsters. I’ve done pet sitting for the past three years to make extra income for school. Trying out the Rover app to see if I can schedule more work! I currently am at work / school from M-F 12pm-5pm but don’t let this deter you! My office is pet friendly and I can bring along your pet with me (I request that they are potty trained). I’ll be free to pet sit at home / at your place out of office hours! There’s a little bit of flexibility in here, please reach out. I currently have no uncaged pets roaming around the house. Other than that, our house is free for your furry friend to roam with a two dog parks nearby. For housesitting, I follow all rules listed! If there are no rules, I’d let you know what my plans will be for the day! I always update with photos and videos, every 2-4 hours. You can also call me anytime I’m with your pet and see how they’re doing live. :)
About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep. Locally, I volunteered at Multnomah County Animal Services, completing intensive training in medication administration and enrichment. I'm certified in Pet First Aid through American Red Cross. Through TrustedHousesitters and caring for friends' pets, I regularly handle multi-week stays for both dogs and cats, ensuring consistent routines, high-level medical attentiveness, and dedicated care. As a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the dedicated attention they deserve. I am available for long-term house sitting, weekend stays, and drop-in visits or walks any day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I prioritize safe, precise, and low-stress care above all else. Certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid, I am fully equipped to administer oral and topical medications, handle intensive wound care, and maintain extensive care schedules. Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
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! 🐾💕
Joss is a true cat whisperer! Our cat Gracie is very timid and easily spooked and I honestly thought she might not adjust to our being gone and remain mostly hidden. Much to my surprise, within the first day or two of visits with Joss, Gracie was greeting her with meows and snuggling with her for daily cuddles! After that, I was able to completely relax and enjoy my vacation. I can't say enough good things about Joss and her true care and commitment to helping my cat feel safe and loved during my absence. Her communication is excellent and her expert cat photography is an added bonus!! Will definitely be using her again for future trips.
I was so happy that we chose Melissa to take care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We didn’t have cell service for a significant portion of our trip, so I wanted someone who had positive reviews for reliability, and Melissa fit the bill. I’m very grateful that I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about what was happening back at home. We will definitely be rebooking Melissa for our next vacation!
Marissa was great. We only had her for a couple of days for drop by visits, but she was accommodating and amenable. She played with the one of our cats that wanted to and sent cute pictures each visit. She brought in the mail and pulled in the garbage cans. Really appreciated her flexibility would easily book her again when we need someone for our 2 cats.
Rob dropped in on my two cats for a week. He proved to be intuitive and thorough with the feeding and litter box cleanings. He made friends easily with my cats, even with the younger, more skittish one. She has been known to hide for at least a week with other caregivers, but warmed to Rob in a couple of days. i would not hesitate to recommend Rob for any pet care needs.
Webb is great with our cats! One of them is allergic to fleas, and had some skin irritation while we were gone. Webb was quick to let me know and was able to give him flea medicine and kept me updated on his progress. They even got my shyer cat to play. Thanks so much, Webb!
We had a last minute opportunity to go out of town and were so grateful to find Chelsea to take care of our two cats! She was prompt, cared about their preferences and needs, communicated well, and even brought in our packages. We'd recommend Chelsea and will definitely reach out to her next time we are going out of town!
I've had Janell sit for my kitties a number of times now. She is great and I will continue booking with her. When I get home the cats have been cared for (they aren't desperate for attention), any kitty messes have been cleaned up, the boxes are clean, cats have food and water, the house is clean, mail has been brought in and she has communicated about her visits while I was gone. Great sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
