About: I have been working with dogs professionally for 8 years, and have had dogs for many years. I also have 5 years experience owning and caring for cats, including special needs kittens. Happy to drop in or walk dogs of all sizes, and love doing cat drop ins! I'm happy to dispense any food or medication needed on whatever schedule is best for them. I work full time at a dog training facility, Saturday through Wednesday, and my wife is home full time to potty dogs or play with them outside, and i have time to do drop Ins or walks before and after work and have Thursdays and Fridays off, as well. Typically I'm able to drop in between 6-6:30am or 6pm and later on weekdays, and free availability on Thursday/Friday. Dogs boarding will be crated while I'm at work, and will get pottied before and after my shift, as well as walked, and if they are playful with other dogs will have a blast with my pack as well. Cleanliness and safety is number one. For cats, expect that I will sweep or vacuum spilled litter, clean up any messes, and give fresh water and food each check in. Same goes for dogs, as far as making sure dogs are safe and happy while in my care. If at my home, social dogs will get walks, playtime with my dogs and plenty of love. I treat guest animals as though they are my own.
“Sara was wonderful! She took such great care of our kitties, while we were away! I so appreciate the detailed updates, the multiple photos were truly awesome, and the love and playtime she gave them was just appreciated so much ! We highly recommend Sara for pet care needs! Thanks again, Sara!”
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had many experiences taking care of pets for others, I’ve stayed overnight, been there during the day, and I also have my own personal I’ve grown up taken care of. I love animals and taking care of them make me happy :) Im working as a CNA part time and so I will be available all day on weekends and Monday, Tuesdays and Fridays before 9am and after 6pm, Wednesdays after 2 pm and Thursdays before 2 pm. I have a big yard, fence, and a dog and two cats, all very friendly. I can do whatever is needed for your pet including washing, crating, etc.
About: I have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and grew up helping care for pets, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving each pet the patience and attention they need. Now that my husband and I have bought our first home, I’m excited to fill it with wagging tails and happy paws. I work from home on East Coast hours, so my afternoons are wide open for exercise, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and right at home. Working from home gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. I work East Coast hours, so I start early (5:30am) and finish around 2 PM. Throughout the day, I have time for potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and my afternoons are open for walks, companionship, enrichment, and quality time together. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. In my home, they’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, a quiet, comfortable environment, and a walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks.
“I highly recommend Francisca to anyone who is considering engaging pet care with Rover. Francisca was exceptionally considerate with her daily care and communication regarding my fur baby and she took great care of my home! 100% amazing!”
“Styler has been an amazing sitter for my kitty. I love how she always keeps me up to date with pics and other details about how my cat is doing. And I always come back to a happy cat! I will definitely be requesting for her services again.”
“Our cat loves Susana! Susana does a great job taking care of Kali and I have total confidence in Susana to give the best care and be responsible in our home when we’re not there.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life there's always been a dog, cat, running around. I've learned how to handle all sorts of personalities and needs, whether it's a super energetic puppy or a chill old-timer who just needs some company and a good scratch. My family always trusted me with them so I've been the go to for feeding, walking, playing, and just generally making sure they're happy and safe. I’m currently working afternoons so I’d be able to have morning appointments and a couple days where I have the whole day available. I’ve taken care of animals my whole life so it’s pretty easy for me and following whatever instructions you have for your animals.
About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.
“Brittany took such good care our cats of Ethel and Max while we were away that we really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Our cats need medication, and Brittany made sure they were comfortable and cared for and kept us at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her :)”
About: Lifelong animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I have the most experience caring for cats and dogs but have previously cared for and am comfortable with fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and dedicate most of my time caring for my own pets. In my spare time, I volunteer at a local cat shelter. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for my own pampered pets but as well as others. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and on average take care of a handful of them 3-4 times a month. I try to spend my time surrounded by as many animals as possible. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog. There is a large backyard with enough room for running and multiple rooms available for isolating animals if needed. I always have extra cat and dog supplies.
About: On my mother’s farm I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, ducks, horses, and a donkey! I have fostered multiple puppies and helped with their potty training. I currently own two dogs myself, a 2 yr old Great Dane and a 12 yr old Blue Heeler who has dementia. I understand the patience furry family members need, as well has routine. I do my best to make every pet and person feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working on my Master’s degree and as a para at a local school. I am available during the week before 7am and after 3pm. Weekends have varied availability so be sure to check my calendar! I am a certified teacher so I have completed background checks and can promise I will treat your home better than my own during drop-in visits. I am also comfortable providing medication if needed.

I've said it many times now but Tracy is simply the best. Here is an anecdote on how amazing my wife and I think she is. It was very short notice but my wife and I wanted to get away. She is almost always available so I didn't check her schedule. Turns out, the last day of our hastily planned trip, she was unavailable for the first time ever. *gasp* Rover is great and all. I'm positive we could have found someone short notice. But... Tracy has become my wife and I's (and our fur babies') ride or die when it comes to this sort of stuff. So we did the most logical thing. We shifted our plans by a day just to be guaranteed that we could have Tracy watching over our babies. She is seriously a "we will rearrange our vacation to ensure we have Tracy" level sitter. She rocks!
Rachael was wonderful with my two super-senior cats. She was consistently punctual, which was especially important because one of my cats requires insulin at specific times. When stormy weather was predicted, she proactively offered to drive over and check on my home, which I truly appreciated. Her communication was excellent, including regular updates and photos. I would absolutely trust Rachael to care for my cats again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Rachael! 🐈🐈⬛ 🐾

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hockinson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $23 per visit. 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.

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 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.
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.

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.
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.
