About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I have taken care of all types of animals. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to take care of their animals, starting at a young age. I have taken in strays, rescued several dogs from shelters. I also volunteered for an animal rescue for several years and have fostered animals from time to time. I am the person who finds the pets at an event and stays with them the whole time. I have experience with dogs, cats including puppies and kittens, seniors, and animals with medical needs. I currently work only about 5-8 hours a week and have plenty of time to cuddle and walk your pets. Spending time with animals is my favorite thing to do. I will walk your dog twice a day, and can also take your pets on drives (with my pet seatbelt and/or car seat) if that's something you would like. Daily belly rubs are always included :) I have a fenced back yard. Pets are welcome to all areas of my home and always allowed on the couches and bed. I also have a comfortable dog car seat for dogs under 50 lbs as well as a collar/harness seatbelt restraint for larger dogs. I will take up to 3 dogs at a time, if your dog loves to be social (My home is two-story, with multiple dog gates should your dog need a break also). If your dog prefers to be the only animal around, please let me know and I'll let you know if I can arrange that.
“Big heart and very patient with our extra large puppy who has lots of energy! Reliable and detailed in following directions for meds and our handling preferences. Our pup loves Tracy and we feel confident leaving her in Tracy's care. Great job!”
“Vivian was so great with our border collie. She has a past injury to her trachea so walking can be difficult for her, she was so patient with her and took her time. I definitely recommend her!”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.
“Kat was very good with my pup. Shes on time, very good with communication and most of provided excellent care for my pup. My shepherd was happy to be her ...such a wonderful vibe.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for over 8 years now! I love dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more! I’m a full-time university student, but I’ll still have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially in the evenings and afternoons! I’m free most of the summer as well! I have a big yard for your pups to run around in, and a friendly little pup of my own! I can crate your pup if needed, or I can also drop in to your home as well!
About: Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve fostered everything from tiny puppies to sweet senior dogs, each with their own personalities, quirks, and needs. I’ve also raised two litters of kittens, helping them grow into confident, healthy little explorers. I regularly dog sit for my grandma and for close family friends whenever they’re out of town, so I’m very comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and care instructions. Whether it’s energetic playtime, slow strolls, medication reminders, or just keeping a nervous pet company, I’m happy to adapt to whatever your animal needs. Most importantly, I truly love every animal I meet. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you choose me, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. With patience, affection, and attention to detail. I’m excited to meet your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am on summer break as I am attending Portland State University for a civil engineering degree. My schedule is fully open and ready for whatever you may need! I will give love and attention to your fur baby on each of my check-ins and walks. Let me know what you would expect from me and I will most definitely make it happen!

I have experience in caring for animals of all ages, including senior animals. Thank you for your time, I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do most early mornings, afternoons, as well as evenings. I have been pet sitting off and on for the past 15 years. I try my best to match the routine your pets are accustomed to while they are in my care. I am also a very detail oriented person and make sure to keep things neat during my visits.

With over three years of pet care experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and temperaments through drop-in visits, boarding, doggy daycare, and walks. My experience includes feeding, exercise, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home providing pet care through any means necessary or needed for you and your furry family. Im happy and eager to accommodate and work with your schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. During visits and boarding, I closely supervise pets and provide a calm, loving environment. Building trust is important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and creating positive experiences through patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, providing peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to create a loving, dependable environment where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.
“Our doggie loves his walks with Sarah! He recognizes her car, and actually watches for her when he thinks the time is right. She's punctual and friendly, and an obvious dog lover.”
“Thank you Chelsea for being so great and loving with my weens. They already love walking with you. What a savage you are juggling three dogs while simultaneously pushing through a torrential downpour of rain. You are amazing!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets, from ponies to puppies. I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, feeding, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention along the way. I have a combination of hands on experience and animal knowledge. I’ve lived on a mini farm mh entire life, shadowed my sister who is an ER veterinarian, and as a pre-med student, I am attentive, responsible, and detail oriented. I have had many pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family! My goal is always to return pets happier, with their tails wagging and owners smiling!! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me availability throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my animals, staying active, and making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I keep my schedule updated and prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands! I primarily provide care in my clients homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment, walk their neighborhoods, and maintain their normal routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners. For pets that may need care in my home, I do not have any indoor pets, providing a calm environment and comfortable space for my visitors! I also have access to a secure outdoor kennel that can be set up if needed!
About: I have always had a dog since I was a kid, when I was a teenager I used to walk dogs around my neighborhood. I also volunteered for an animal rescue. Now, I work for an animal urgent care and have experience with both dogs and cats, as well as own my own dog and cat. I'm currently working full time, so for boarding your pet may be alone while I'm at work unless they are kennel trained they can go to work with me. I will be taking them on walks before and after work. I work 10 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I have one dog who is young and loves to play all day! I can kennel your pet if needed, as well as my own. I have fenced land for the dogs to run and play.
“Vanessa is a great dog walker. She communicates well with us and is awesome with our Black Lab Lexie, who is excited to see her every time she comes. We recommend Vanessa highly!”
“If you're in the Fisher's Landing area and need a great dog walker contact Elisangela. She is very friendly, and great with dogs. Her promptness, updates, and pictures of my dog is very much appreciated.”
“Francisca was amazing! She went above and beyond while I went out of town for 7 days. I was so anxious to leave my pup alone and Francisca made me feel so comfortable. She gave great daily communication and updates. She took my pup to run some errands and even spent extra time with my pupper after the walks to make her feel safe (My dog and I have never been apart that long). I could see on the house camera that she treated my pup/my home with such respect and treated my pup and if she were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francisca to another seeking a walker/sitter and I will definitely be using her in the future! I think I even made a friend! ?❤️”

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 Hockinson. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

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.
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. 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hockinson. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
