“Annalei was so great! She arrived on time, followed instructions greatly, and our cats enjoyed her company very much. We would definitely use her services again!!”
“ChristyLynn was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request. She was great with the dogs, they sense right away if someone is a dog person and she definitely is. She asked if it was ok for her girls to come for an evening visit and the dogs loved that. Great communication and appreciated the pics. Will definitely use her again.”
“Selena is beyond amazing!! She was willing to work with our French bulldog who is a little slow to warm up to people. Loved all the notes & photos we got while away for a weekend. Would very highly recommend!!”
“Avalon was fantastic with our senior pup, Sadie! The communication and notes we received while away were very detailed. We will definitely book Avalon again!”
“Molly did a great job cat sitting for us! Both of our cats are extremely shy, but by the end of her stay, she had Jaden coming out for pets. We really appreciated her patience and care with them!”
“Carmen was so communicative and eager to bond with our cats, especially the medically needy one! She sent lots of photos showing them all having grand old time. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: A long term pet sitter for multiple families, positive experiences caring for senior dogs, and always working with respect and love for the furry family members. I also have experience caring for different farm animals! I have wide ranges of availability to accommodate walking and feeding and play schedules, I work 5 days a week but always make time before during and/or after the work day to spend proper time! To me theres no such thing as too much communication when it comes to something this important, pet parents wont have to feel shy about voicing their requests and check ins!
About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
About: I was taught that caring for someone's home and loved ones is a true privilege. I bring that same philosophy to every pet I care for, treating them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I was raised around multiple dogs and cats in our home from the moment I was born all the way to now. We considered them family and always cared for them with the utmost love and care. As an adult I have cared for my pets with zero incidence. After college I walked three dogs for over a year each and loved absolutely every moment of it. All without incidence. These were some of the most fun moments in my career in my 20's. Now, I have free time and would love to occupy that free time with taking care of other people's animals again. I am all of my friends go-to pet sitter. Both in my home and theirs. Known as "Auntie Nushie and a dog-god-mother to many. I nurse birds back to health, I don't kill insects, and I bring a level of calm energy to even the most chaotic of scenarios. My own dogs and cats are testimony to my ability to train puppies and socialize kittens. So, if you have fur babies, I will have organized training sessions with them. Whatever your pets needs, I am here for them! Whether it's an energetic walk, medication administration, senior care, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I naturally make all animals feel safe, happy, and at ease. I am punctual, tidy, responsible, and a great communicator; who may or may not take extremely great portraits of animals. I want your pets to feel excited when I arrive, loved while you're away, and relaxed when you come home. And for you, I hope every update and photo gives you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I currently work from home and have an open availability. I will not be available before 9AM on week days and 11AM on weekends. I sometimes travel for work but will give you a 4 days advance notice. Prefer having a set schedule for walking, pet sitting, or drop off. Your Home: I leave everything better than I found it. If it's a rainy day? No coming home to muddy footprints. If I come over and a dog has had an accident, I clean up after them. I send updates at the beginning and end of each visit. I am very responsible and have always locked up after myself. Zero incidences of gates left open, dogs running off their leash, confrontations with other animals, and never any safety concerns. My Home: I have 2 small dogs, Luna and Hank who both love other dogs. My cat loves dogs (even other cats) as well. She spends most of her days laying out in the yard and my dogs are always glued to my hip. My yard is large, fenced in, and has both shady and sunny areas. I have 3 separate water bowls around the house and keep the bowls sanitized and full. If you have special food or treats, I will gladly keep them here separate for your pet. I have a large 4 bedroom home with 2 living rooms. Even on the rainiest days, there is plenty of room here to have playtime.
About: Hello! I offer in-home pet sitting and provide drop-in visits and dog walking services. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals and love giving dogs and the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are extremely important to me, and I will always respect your routines, requests, and care instructions to ensure they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. A little about me: I have a strong love for animals and have gained hands-on experience through various volunteer positions working with pets. I have volunteered with Animal Aid Inc., where I gained experience caring for both cats and dogs. In addition, I am currently studying to become a veterinary technician through the Penn Foster program, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or thoughts about working with me. I will always do my best to respond promptly and provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care for your beloved pet. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize keeping pets on a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about availability and send updates during each stay. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Here is an example of the important aspects I require in a care guide: 1. Feeding Schedule/Amount 2. Walking Schedule/Best Destinations and Best Walking Routes 3. Personality/Needs (Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they pull on the leash? Any important commands I should know?) 4. House Rules 5. Vet Info/Emergency Contact I look forward to working with you and your pet!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Oswego
J is fantastic with our pups and our cats. We have her make drop in visits with our crew when we are going to be out of the house too long. We have a senior pug, a Shepard, and 3 cats. She is so great with all of them, and they love the visits. I am so glad we found her to help out, it gives us such peace of mind and I never have to worry about our babies being loved in our absence.
Has a great rapport with our pooch even though our girl loves everyone they developed a special bond quickly. Very attentive to some of the health aspects that we as dog parents sometimes miss or take for granted, thanks you for the suggestions. We look forward to having you take care of our girl again soon!
Chanda, I feel so lucky to have found you for Otto and I’m truly sad to see you go. You are one of the best and kindest dog walkers I’ve had for my boy and I appreciate all of the hard work and love you showed Otto. I hope someday we cross paths again, as I know he will miss you. The very best of luck with your new adventures!! ❤️
Taryn and Johnathan provided both drop in visits and overnights for my dog Chippy. Chippy was always very happy and enjoyed her time playing with them. Taryn and Johnathan both communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend them both for you pet sitting needs.
Victoria is an amazing and very professional dog walker. She was my walker for a few years and I have never been disappointed. She’s a very good communicator and truly cared for my pup, Wilson. Since I have moved to a different area, I was so sad to say goodbye to her but I recommend her to anyone out there! 🐾☺️🙏🏻 Thank you, Victoria!
Jessica is amazing! She's been so patient with my 1yo stranger danger issues and so kind to my old boy who needs a little extra help here and there. She's also been very communicative on any questions or concerns, and has not once come across as annoyed at my near daily texts while I'm adjusting to have someone care for my pets. I hope to keep her around for a while.
Melissa did a great job stopping by to let our dogs out to go potty. She was prompt, friendly and resourceful when needed. We felt safe and secure having her at our house when we were not home. We are rebooking her for a trip in June. I would recommend her for your pets needs.
This was our first time working with Rover and it was a great experience! Melissa lives very close to us and she took such great care of our Bear! She updated us at every visit and included lots of photos before and after their walk. This was his first time staying at home overnight after 9 years and it went very well! We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Oswego choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
