“Adeline took excellent care of our 2 elder kitties while we were out of the country. We are very grateful and will definitely work with her again next time we travel.”
About: Hi, I’m Ellie! I’ve always been the kind of person at a get together who ends up hanging out with the animals. Since middle school, I’ve cared for pets while their owners were away, and over the years that’s grown into friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers trusting me with their pets, homes, and plants. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. You can also expect regular updates while you’re away—and probably a few silly photos of your pet along the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday and live close to my workplace, which gives me flexibility to care for pets before and after work. Whether it's an early morning visit, or spending time with pets in the evenings, I’m happy to fit pet care into my routine. For longer-term or more involved care, I’m always open to discussing scheduling needs and finding a solution that works well for both you and your pet. When caring for a pet, I like to connect with the owner beforehand and, if possible, meet the pet as well. This helps me understand their routine, personality, specific care needs, and any special circumstances I should be aware of. I know that new people and environments can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and welcoming experience. My goal is to help pets feel safe, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while maintaining the routines they're used to.
“Consistent communication, mishap on my part and she worked around it to make sure my boy was taken care of. Always cheerful and happy to come out check up on chief. 10/10 will request again.”
“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”
About: I’ve had my own dogs over the last 10 years. I am a mom to two human kiddos and one golden retriever, Suzi. I’m happy to walk, check in and play, and care for your pets! I take care of my own pets every day. They are my family and spoiled! I’m able to have a flexible schedule as I stay home to take care of my family. I care for all animals and with love and appreciation. If there are specific instructions to follow I’m happy to do that. Safety is of the utmost importance to me.
“I was out of the country for 3 weeks and Victoria was such a help with midday drop in visits for my pups! Her communication in their daily report card was top notch and I never had to worry about my dogs on the days she came by :)”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits I’ve always truly loved animals and spending time with them, taking care of them, giving them all the love and attention they need/deserve. Mainly throughout the years I’ve taken care of cats more and sometimes a few dogs. I’m more fond of cats and know how to give them what they need and when they need space or food I can understand quickly. I’m always happy to care for dogs though especially since it’s fun to go on walks, have playtime with them. I will try my best to make sure every pet feels safe, content and happy with me I currently work part time at the Moda Center and it’s but only twice or once a week so I have most days off and so much free time so I really want to keep busy as much as possible and help people out in the process! I’d like to say I’m an observant person and very caring aswell, I tend to check in a lot even if it’s not needed and keeping track of when pets need to be let out, feed, given medication, any of the sorts im right on time. I also give pets time to adjust to me before jumping into touching them, I like to let them come to me first to make them feel comfortable if they are shy. If they are messy i don’t mind cleaning up a mess/cleaning up poop/pee
“Allison was absolutely FANTASTIC with Ollie. I love the communication and actually working with Ollie on his walks and manners. Would 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”
About: My family has always had pets! Our last dog who was a Puggle (part Pug and part Beagle) named Pugsley lived for 19 years! He died a few years ago...and we miss him every day! We currently don't own any pets...because we want the flexibility to travel. I retired 2 years ago. We also had a cat named Beano...and he also lived until 19 years old. I don't necessarily have skills...except to love your pet to death! I'm currently retired and have a VERY flexible schedule. We don't own any pets right now...so it'd be really fun to have furry visitors! ROVER is really a good option because I can set my own schedule! We have a front and a backyard. We are not fenced...so if they are outdoors then I'll be sure to be with them...and make sure they are leashed.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large dogs and understand the importance of providing them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to burn off energy. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for family friends who trusted me to care for their pet while they were away. My experience includes caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and attention, as well as energetic puppies who thrive with structure, play, and consistent supervision. I also have experience caring for cats, including my own two cats at home. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust while providing attentive, individualized care. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. Currently working part time on Wed & Fri mornings. I do have some weekends available for sitting. Most availability will be through the week and for walks. Your pets safety and comfort are always top priorities. I take the time to learn each pets routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you’re away. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings and your dogs needs, ensuring they get appropriate exercise while remaining safe and secure. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own and strive to maintain your pets normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and even sugar gliders! I am very comfortable around animals and have a lot of experience with them! I am working a part time job currently, but can move around my schedule in order to take care of any animals in need! I am available nights and days if needed! I abide by any guidelines given to me by owners, but make sure to add in lots of love for furry friends! I have learned in my own pets experience that the favorite pet sitters are always the ones offering lots of cuddles!
“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”
“Lucinda was a great friend to our cats, sent us detailed updates, and was helpful when one of our cats was hiding out. We will definitely book with Lucinda again in the future!”
“Shianne did a great job, making sure she was paying attention to all the many details I requested. She is a good communicator and she loved my kitty and took very good care of her!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats since I was a kid, I love all furry friends and have taken care of all kinda of pets, from young puppies that I helped give birth to, to old senior doggies and everything in between. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I have an incredibly open summer schedule currently and am open all week for your pet's needs! I can provide all-day care and whatever is needed to fit into your pet's schedule. I have a fenced yard with plenty of property for dogs to roam and explore. I have 3 very skiddish cats that most likely your dog won't even notice. I am able to provide crate training at my house and can fit all of your needs at your house.
“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!!”
“Tanya was amazing! She responded right away and was great with our dog. She even went above and beyond to stop by and meet us earlier in the day. We would definitely use her again.”

Kristen takes such good care of my cranky senior kitty. She sends me the cutest detailed updates that usually have attached videos too, which I love watching, and she goes above and beyond to keep things nice and clean while I'm away. I'm always relieved to leave my cat in her care - thank you Kristen!
She was absolutely lovely from start to finish. We got the introductory meeting quickly and the boys were delighted to meet her- she followed their routine wonderfully and they obviously found her the trustworthy sort. While I was gone, I received lovely pictures of my happy boys and came home to them well tended. I’m grateful for her work with them.
Sierra did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a long weekend! Our cats can be a bit difficult, and she did a wonderful job looking after them. Provided great communication, helped bring in a few packages, and was kind enough to water a few plants as well. When we had flight troubles, she even stopped by for an extra day to make sure our cats still got fed. Would absolutely recommend!
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.
Savannah is very professional and punctual, there is special care that is given to all the details that make your pet your pet, the little instructions that youve worked so hard to cultivate in your dog like sitting before the door opens are respected with a sitter like Savannah. Will definately be booking again.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Oswego. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
