“Kortni is the best pet sitter I could’ve asked for! Her clear love for animals shines through when you see her interact with your pet. My cat is usually very shy, but not towards her! Instant friends upon meeting. For any of my pet needs in the future, I will be booking with Kortni! :)”
“I read several reviews of Zander before I booked him to watch my cat Pickles and they all called him a cat whisperer and it is 100% true. My cat Pickles is extremely shy and skittish but by the 3rd day he became best friends with Zander. Zander left detailed notes and updates and included several pictures of the cat. It was amazing to find someone so caring and it really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I will definitely be booking him in the future and if you want a great sitter who will give you peace of mind when you have to leave your fur baby Zander really is the cat whisperer and the best choice for you!”
About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.

While I may have a few errands throughout the day my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a 4yr old Great Pyrenees Anatolian mix who loves to go with me everywhere. She is good with other dogs, cats, goats, chickens etc. She also immediately adopts any baby she finds, human, dog, cat, chicks..... If love to bring her with me but I do have someone to take care of her if you'd rather I don't bring her. I try to get an understanding of what the typical routine for your pet is and how you do things so that they are less stressed about changes. With my own dog I'm very big on routine and structure at home. I try to keep things predictable for my animals and schedule my life around their routines.

I understand every pet has different needs and am always willing to understand to provide the best care possible!
“Angel was a perfect pet walker! Great communication too. I was traveling to Lincoln City from California with my 6 month old puppy. Since the hotel didn't allow the pups to be left in the room at all, it was great to have someone lined up during my vacation to care for her while I visited places that didn't allow dogs (Indoor seating restaurants and the casino). I'll will use her service again next time I'm in town.”

“Sheila was so good with our kitty, Chief. She checked on Chief while we were on vacation. She showed up every day that was scheduled and sent pictures of Chief at every visit. He seemed happy and well cared for upon our return. Thank you, Sheila!”
“Our normal cat sitter was having a new baby while we were going out of town, so we had to find someone new. I found Rebecca after another sitter that I had lined up backed out and I was so glad I did. She did a great job! I also cat sit for Rover, and Rebecca gave the wonderful care that I always try to give my own clients. We appreciated the notes, and pictures from each day that she visited. My kids were upset about leaving their 3 kittens for so long, but they felt better seeing that they were in great hands with Rebecca. I will definitely use Rebecca again and recommend to others families with cats.”

Mikki has been caring for our golden for the past 10 months when she was just 8wks old. I schedule her to come twice a day and she has always been on time, consistent, and reliable.

Kortni is the best pet sitter I could’ve asked for! Her clear love for animals shines through when you see her interact with your pet. My cat is usually very shy, but not towards her! Instant friends upon meeting. For any of my pet needs in the future, I will be booking with Kortni! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kelso is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 347 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kelso. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kelso. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters 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 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.
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.
