About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!
About: I've had cats and dogs of my own since childhood, when I was given responsibility from a young age to feed and care for them. In adulthood, that experience has continued by looking after the homes and pets of my friends whenever they are away. Whether they be large old dogs, small scrappy pups, or asthmatic cats that need administered medication, in houses or apartments, I've got these experiences to pull from, and look forward to making new ones! I work full-time from 8:30am - 5pm on weekdays. I have weekends off. I'm happy to spend as much time as needed with your pet in my available time! I will discuss with you and ask for written instructions on the details of the care routine your pet(s) are used to and what they require to remain happy and healthy in my care! In addition, my philosophy while house-sitting is to leave the space looking as tidy as it did before I arrived. I'm clean and considerate of other people's spaces.
“Simon was responsive and followed all instructions. My little dude was happy to see her during each visit and she left great summaries of each visit. Would book again.”
“Deanna did a fantastic job caring for our 3 kittens. Never having left them before we didn’t know quite what they were capable of.. Deanna was creative and good humored, communicated frequently and honestly probably saved our house from complete kitten destruction!”
“I can't recommend Priscila enough! She was an incredible help, and even though I reached out without much notice for the time I'd be out of town she was able to accommodate the request to make check-in visits on my cat. She was quick to respond whenever I had a question, and even sent photo updates of my cat from her visits :) I'm very grateful for her help, and will definitely be reaching out to her the next time I need a sitter!!”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs ever since I was a teen. My family always had cats growing up but I would care for a lot of cats and dogs for friends and family. I currently have 1 cat named Wednesday and 1 dog named Korra. They are super friendly and would love to meet some new friends! I currently work full time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to be able to step away to walk or take care of an animal. I am open to boarding at my home and house sitting at yours! The animal always comes first, I will make sure to play and take care of your pet proactively and follow any custom instructions or medication needs appropriately and with great attention to detail. My animals get fresh water and food twice a day and my dog Korra regularly plays in our yard and loves to go for walks!
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
About: I grew up in a home that was always filled with the joy of pets. My experience ranges from caring for small breeds to rescuing and rehabilitating large stray dogs, ensuring they received the medical attention they needed to thrive. At one point, my family home was a sanctuary for 21 dogs! Growing up alongside them taught me everything about dedicated care—from playful energy to the specialized needs of senior pets. I am experienced in administering medication and providing the extra patience and comfort that older dogs require. In fact, the oldest dog I raised lived to be 21 years old, passing away peacefully after a long, happy life. I also have 5 cats back in my hometown, so I’m very comfortable with feline personalities too! Currently, as I am away from my family pets, I find myself deeply missing that connection. You can rest assured that your furry family members will be my number one priority, receiving the same level of attentive, personalized care that I have practiced my entire life. As a remote creative professional, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. I am available throughout the day for walks, feedings, and companionship. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to your pet's existing routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and never lonely while you are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, and house rules. I am very attentive to changes in behavior and ensure all doors and gates are secure at all times. I believe in clear communication, so I’ll provide regular photo updates to give you peace of mind, knowing your fur baby is safe, loved, and in good hands.
“Tori is the best. She kept us up dates on are babys wile we went on vacation. She spoils them. Even tho my one of my pups really doesn't like anyone but me and my other half. He now lets Tori pet and love on him. It's so comforting knowing our fur babys are in good hands with Tori.”
“Chelsea is super responsive and such a great sitter! I can tell my lil cat has loved every visit. It’s been great having Chelsea, especially with a long term trip. I’ve already booked again! 10/10 recommend”
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I have had two years of occasional pet cat care for my family and friends. I provide dog walking, overnights at a client’s home, and dog and cat care. I have a full time job that provides work from home flexibility in which I can use to stay at your home to keep your furry friend company throughout the day. On days that I do have to go into the office, I will reliable spend mornings and evenings with your pets and provide them with essential quality time after work. I am currently unable to board pets at my own home. However, I am more than happy to spend full days and overnights at your own home when needed!
“Another great booking with Angela! She is communicative, friendly, easy to work with and so great with my cat, I loved all the pics/videos she took for me and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Tiana was great! She was very friendly and professional, it was clear that she has a ton of dog experience and accommodating of my dog who can be loud when meeting people from the first time. She was very responsive in communication and got some adorable pics. It was clear by the end of the drop in she won my dog over.
Melanie is amazing! She is wonderful with my dogs and always provides great communication and updates. She has watched my dogs multiple times, and every experience has been excellent. Melanie is incredibly sweet, kind, and reliable, and I completely trust her with my pets. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I will definitely continue booking with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Chelsea was amazing with Ginger. Ginger wasn’t feeling well and was having trouble eating, and Chelsea was so patient and caring with her. She took Ginger for a walk, spent time with her, and was even able to get her to eat. Ginger also got some playtime in. Chelsea went above and beyond! I’d absolutely book with her again :)

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Happy Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Happy Valley 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Happy Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
