“Veronica took such great care of Henry! She was prompt, communicative and sent lots of photos. I arrived home to a healthy and happy pup! Will definitely be asking her to come sit again!”
“Kiana is a fantastic pet sitter! We had never had someone stay at our place before for pet care, so we were a little nervous but she put our minds at ease. Sent regular updates and photos and seemed to handle our pups' behavioral issues with confidence. Left our house in excellent shape as well. We will definitely be hiring her again.”

“emma is an angel who puts anxious pups and their even more anxious owners at ease 😭 had a last minute change before I had to leave town for 3 days that required much more extensive care for my pup than initially anticipated and she was so understanding, willing to adjust, and communicative. i rlly cant thank her enough. also im pretty sure my pup was upset i got back and emma had to leave 😂 as an incredibly anxiously attached pup mama, i 100% recommend her to anyone!!”
“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”
“We were so happy to have Jordyn stay with our dogs! Jordyn is very good at communicating, respectful of our home and gave the dogs lots of attention and walks. I highly recommend her, and I would be glad to have her take care of our dogs again.”
“Lisa was an incredibly responsible and loving pet sitter. We received day updates and pictures of our dog during our time away. We will definitely be using Lisa again in the future.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs that both required medication, as well as for bunnies, cows, and chickens. I don’t have any specific certifications besides many years caring for different kinds of people and different kinds of pets. :) Hello! I currently live in Corvallis Oregon but I work remotely and love to be in Portland! I have flexibility to work from home but I do like to work at a coffee shop etc. my daily routine is a little different every day which gives me a little more flexibility for care although I do tend to socialize out of the house often. Also I house sit to be near friends and family and occasionally may have a visitor. If your animals are nervous around visitors I understand if I’m not the best fit! Happy to chat and see what your house and pets needs may be! Because the family I live with in Corvallis has a cat and a dog and no fence, I cannot bring animals to my home, but I can provide care via drop ins and/or house sitting.
“Annalei was so caring and compassionate with my anxious boy! My dog definitely has some special needs, and can take a while to warm up to people. When I got back, I could tell he was so comfortable and well-cared for! The house was also so clean. Would love to have Annalei stay again!”
“We are so thankful to have found Karynne (esp on short notice) to house/cat-sit for us last weekend. She was responsive, caring, clean, and sent frequent pictures our our kitty so we wouldn't worry. We would highly recommend Karynne to any others in need of pet and or house sitting. Moreover, as this was our first time using Rover.com, she really delivered on exceeding our expectations for this service. So thank you Rover and esp Karynne!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Oswego
Jordyn did an amazing job petsitting my 4yo husky and 2 cats. I always worry with new pet-sitters that my dog is going to be too much - too hyper, too overwhelming, too vocal, and that she'll intimidate a new person with her husky antics and shenanigans, but Jordyn handled her like a pro. My dog loved the special attention she got from her new friend and the cats were clearly well taken care of. Jordyn was clean and tidy and respectful and the house looked great when we got home. We'll definitely try to book Jordyn again for future trips and I'd recommend her to anyone who asks!
Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)
Jessie did a wonderful job taking care of our big dog as well as the cows and goats and turtles and fish. Lots of fun update photos and checking in. Plus my dog loved having a friend to hang out with her sweet dog. Would call again definitely for our next trip.
Hannah took great care of our dogs. She was responsive, responsible, and kept the house very clean. We felt confident that our dogs were safe and well cared for while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We really appreciated the care she put into looking after both them and our home.
Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. He is reliable, a great communicator, and thorough. He follows my instructions with minimal need for reminders or oversight. Out of all of the sitters, I feel most comfortable leaving my best friend and house in his hands. Thank you!
Chanel took such excellent care of our dog, Ralph. He seemed a bit depressed to see her go! He loved all the 1:1 attention she gave him, along with all the walks. Chanel sent us the cutest videos and pictures while we were away. I will book Chanel again and again!
Sydney has watched our two dogs twice now, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She's an excellent communicator, keeping us updated while we're away, which gives us so much peace of mind. We always come home to two happy, healthy dogs and an incredibly clean house. It's clear she genuinely cares for our dogs and treats our home with respect. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Oswego is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Oswego walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Oswego maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
