About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of many different breeds, sizes, personalities, and behavioral needs. Being a lifelong pet owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal is different. I currently share my home with Pigeon, my 8-year-old rescue, who has given me even more appreciation for the patience and trust that can be especially important with rescue animals. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I give my own. Building relationships with animals is an incredibly rewarding experience and something I truly cherish. I am currently a student at Oregon State University pursuing a Botany degree. All of my classes are virtual, so I am extremely flexible with my schedule and availability. I’m a big believer in meeting pets where they’re at. Some want to play and explore, some want nonstop attention, and others just need a little patience and space to warm up. I’ll get to know your pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet company—I’m happy to provide whatever makes them feel most at home!
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years and taking care of family members pets as well. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch and play with pets. I’m super flexible with schedules and can plan around anything. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs. Both dogs know, basic commands and enjoy enrichment activities. Both are fed twice a day and given plenty of attention.
“Amir is our go-to for our dog Yoshi! He's got a calming presence and always sends great photo updates. He's very trustworthy and we'll continue to book with him if available. Thanks Amir!”
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!
“Kena was great with our difficult pit bull, she followed instructions well and problem solved when our dog would not listen well. When she left he was a tired mess and slept through the night!”
“I really appreciated how easily and quickly communication went with Melissa. She helped out in a pinch, and went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend her moving forward”
About: Everyone needs an aunt nearby to check on their dog or care for their dog when you're away. I will spoil your pup with love and attention like I do with my German Shorthair Pointer! I work from home and have the flexibility to take your pup for a walk or stop by for a quick belly rub and potty break. And, of course, a little playtime! I love all breeds and sizes and respect each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can bring my friendly dog, Oscar, along for some play and socializing or come solo to give all my attention to yours! My goal is to help you worry less about your dog while your away from home to give your dog what they need. I work full time from home. My 1/3 acre lot is wonderful for active dogs like our GSP Oscar. Pups who prefer to lounge and snuggle have a spot in my office on the bed next to my desk. Oscar loves dogs of all sizes and so do I! Whether you need daycare or someone to love your pup while you’re away overnight, my lifestyle and home is ideal! I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced yard with lots of room to run! I allow the dogs on the couch and the bed in my office. Oscar is fully vaccinated and takes monthly Simparica. I regularly pick up poop in the yard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. I am skilled at walking two big dogs at the same time and often do during my lunch break.
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
“Cooper is always so happy to see Bridgette. He gives a little squel when he sees her coming up the sidewalk. Then, as I close the door, I see him turn to her for a face to face hello and petting. He loves his walks, but he obviously enjoys his personal connection with Bridgette, too. Warms my heart every time!”
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: I have loved animals since I was a small child. So much so that I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up. I started with my first pup, a springer spaniel named Trix, by training and showing him in 4H. We were in many competitions and even the state fair in Salem. I have since had 2 more cats and 3 more dogs. The latest a 55 lb pit bull named Chloe. She was the sweetest dog I have ever owned. She left us at 16 years of age, so I definitely have "elder" care experience. My husband joked that we were her "assisted living care providers", for the last couple of years. I would love to spend time with your pets for just a bit before my next one. The heart needs a little break. I am retired, so available all days and times to take your pet for a walk or just let them out to go to the bathroom in the middle of the day. I love to walk, and really like a 4 legged companion with me when I do so. Chloe was the queen of our home. She had her own bed, a blanket on the couch and special food. I was very careful to always anticipate her bathroom needs to keep everything neat and tidy. I would treat your home the same as my own.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have hands-on experience caring for pets all of kinds. I have a dog and two cats of my own, volunteer at the local shelter, and have fostered many kittens over the years. Working from home allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pets. Whether it's walking, bathing, feeding, training, or administering medication, separation anxiety. Your furry friends will be in loving hands with me! I offer FREE meet and greets to see if I would be a good fit for you and your pet(s)! **I don't have any recent reviews as I took a break from Rover to finish school out of town. I would love to get back into pet sitting as I have more free time now! I work remotely so I can be with your pets at all times of the day. If I am house sitting for you, occasionally I will leave for 1-2 hrs to go to the gym or getting something to eat. If your pet has separation anxiety, please let me know and I will stay with them the whole day. My family has always been pet oriented. I grew up with cats and dogs and know how to approach your pet safely if they are feeling shy. I've been walking dogs for 7+ years so you can be rest assured I will always come well equipped with supplies such as poop bags, leash connector (if you have multiple pups) water and a bowl.
About: We love all animals and appreciate their intelligence and respect their feelings. We have had dogs and/or cats always. We have also had goats, pot bellied pigs, chickens, miniature donkeys and fish. We love spending time with animals and attending to their needs. Walks at parks and in nature or around the neighborhood are a regular part of our day. We are retired and spend a lot of our time traveling in Southern California and Mexico. We provide a safe calm environment in your home and keep your pets' normal routines. We will be bringing our dog with us and she is well adjusted to changing environments and meeting new animal friends. Housesitting is part of our travel strategy and we have received many positive reviews over the past few years. I also have done some dog training and animals are comfortable around us. We are retired and take several walks a day. Our schedule is very flexible. We like to be able to take your dogs in the car for walking adventures if they are comfortable with that. We give your pets lots of snuggles. We aim to follow and maintain the normal, expected routines of the pets we care for. We give them lots of attention and send pics to their owners.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence. I really appreciate her professionalism, punctuality, and great communication too! You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!
Aislynn was such an awesome walker and would highly recommend her! She took such great care of our dog and cat, and we would book her again in a heartbeat. We were in constant communication and the pictures we got every day were great. Thelma and Bourbon would love to see you again!
I’m so glad I found Angela to help walk my very particular little cattle dog/chihuahua mix. He was getting too overstimulated at daycare and this has been a great switch. Angela is super communicative, sends great updates and pictures, and always makes sure Alfie has a fresh bowl of water and has settled down comfortably before she leaves. 🙂
Erin is simply the best! They are friendly, reliable, cool, and my dog and cat adore them!! I’m so grateful to have Erin on my team. It’s hard living in a city with no family nearby, and Erin makes life feel a bit more connected and I don’t need to worry about how to make sure my pets are well cared-for and loved when I’m away!
Brittney is the best! She’s super reliable and prompt. She’s very observant of the dog’s behavior and likes and dislikes. She has excellent communication and so she’s really easy to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our family and our dog.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Happy Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
