About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply providing some extra attention and companionship, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable and happy to work around each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of love and attention. I’m always mindful of safety around doors, gates, leashes, and anything your pet might get into. I also understand that every cat and dog has their own personality, so I’m happy to give them all the cuddles and playtime they want—or the space they need to feel safe and comfortable.
About: IMPORTANT: I will be going back to school Sept 12, no longer available for rover. I think what sets me apart is the fact that I am not just doing this as a side hustle, but as a lifestyle. Animals are my passion, and I want my career to be surrounded by animals. I'm studying animal science, where a big part of my day-to-day life is learning about animals. Animals play a big role in my day-to-day life, ensuring their safety, happiness, and overall well-being. My family has a black lab who is very friendly and absolutely loves swimming and the outdoors. We give a lot of our time to him. We also have a cat that is scared of a lot, but ultimately friendly. I try to get dogs active outside and enjoying life rather than just sitting around. Even if it's just staying inside, I value giving them the attention and love they need as well, instead of just leaving them be. I make sure they go outside to do their business and get as much fresh air as possible.
“Sydney is always incredibly thoughtful in how she cares for our pets. We always know they are in good hands with get. She is incredibly communicative while we're away. We will continue to book her.”
“I was very impressed with the thorough job that was done and communication updates. She went well above expectations and made our trip more worry-free about our pets ?. Thank you ? for your help. Deb and Dennis”
“Adara was right on time and gave her full attention to my pups. She was respectful of our property and did all she could to make them comfortable. We also had a good "meet and greet" a few days before her visit with them. All went really well and I'd recommend Adara as a reliable pet sitter. I don't need help often but when I do will call on her again.”
“Heather was wonderful!!! Can’t express how safe and relieved we felt having Heather watch our 3 cats for over a week while we were on vacation. She made extra sure that they were taken care of, even offering to make an extra visit during a heat wave to be sure they were ok since our AC is out. Heather was super kind, thoughtful, and professional. Loved the sweet photos of our cats as well, would definitely rebook! Thank you Heather!!!”
“Emily was very caring and try her best to be flexible for my last min request. She is very responsible when it comes to care my cat while I’m gone and share with me of my cats behavior to avoid any possible issues. I appreciate her to above and beyond as I love my cat. Will definitely look for Emily to care my cat again and highly recommended! :)”
“Very appreciative of Scott accepting my last minute booking. We reached out when we realized what we thought would be a shorter day trip was turning into an entire day outing. He stopped by and walked my German Shepherd and Jack Russell terrier. Fed them, gave them some love & attention and got their water refilled. He did a great job and sent me all of the communication and photos when he was checking in walking and checking out. I recommend Scott highly to anyone who needs help with pets!”
“Theresa was a wonderful pet sitter to my livestock guardian dog and two parrots. She was communicative, asked questions as needed, and provided a calm experience for my pets while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her services, and I definitely plan to use her again for my future pet sitting needs.”
About: Aloha! I’m originally from O'ahu, HI, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by fur babies, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. When I moved to Oregon in 2021, I knew exactly what my first priority was, getting a dog of my own! Having raised and cared for pets my whole life, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your family members. I'm looking to share that lifetime of experience with local families by providing reliable, loving walks and care. I can't wait to give your pup some extra love, exercise, and a fun break in their day! "I am currently looking for a fun, flexible, part-time side hustle. I have a 1-year-old daughter and have worked a full-time corporate job continuously since she was born. As she gets bigger every day, I’ve realized I want to spend my time watching her grow while also doing something I completely enjoy, like getting outside for a walk, caring for animals, and having fun with your fur baby! I will always take the time to fully understand your expectations and preferences. If I ever have any questions or concerns, I won’t hesitate to bring them up before handling your pet, as I strive to build absolute trust and transparency with my clients. In addition, I intend to take the time to truly get to know your pet, letting them trust me and know that I am a friend is incredibly important to me. I truly believe our pets can sense our energy, and I always aim to bring a calm, positive presence into their day.
“Angyl was great! -checking in on our little dog 3x/day while we were away. She was prompt and provided enough information to problem solve when my 11 month old puppy didn’t want to eat. And we were able to provide suggestions that worked. We were very happy to have Angyl take care of our dog and would book her again with no hesitation.”
About: I did off leash packs hikes for a few years with up to 18 dogs, working first hand with a trainer. I have Dog daycare experience. I worked alone with up to 22 dogs with safety being the biggest priority. I am able to ready a dogs body language and act accordingly, along with redirection and distraction. Knowledge with both positive training and E collar training. I respect everyone’s choices with how they train and willing to work with it. My work schedule is not 5 days a week so I have a lot of down time I want to fill with helping dogs get out more and have some fun adventures. Or check in with some loving kitties that are in need of some attention I treat others animals and homes how I would want mine to be treated. I respect boundaries and understand homes are safe spaces and should be treated as such
“Becky is very sweet and reliable. She was able to meet my dogs and quickly built rapport with my very shy little pup. It was only one week later and my shy baby was giving her kisses and not barking when she came to care for her. Becky sends me photos from the visit and regularly checks in. I appreciate her help with my grandma dog and the extra love and care she needs. Becky has been great and I am very thankful for her help!”

Caitlin was so fabulous with our little Piper. Piper spent the first 18 months of her life in and out of shelters and foster homes so she’s extra skittish. Caitlin was so kind, calm, and gentle and earned Piper’s trust within the first few drop ins. We’re so sad that Caitlin is moving out of the area but we’re grateful for the love and care she gave Piper and know she will be a great match with pets in her new area.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hillsboro 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
