“Reliable and great to work with. As a one time sit for us on vacation, she quickly at ease and the pups were happy as could be. I would happily ask her to sit again.”
“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!”
“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 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.
“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”
“You could feel their kindness upon meeting them, & our very selective bengal honored them with a head boop right away! Megan allowed us to have peace of mind after a very stressful morning, & honestly we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of many different breeds, sizes, personalities, and behavioral needs. Being a lifelong pet owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal is different. I currently share my home with Pigeon, my 8-year-old rescue, who has given me even more appreciation for the patience and trust that can be especially important with rescue animals. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I give my own. Building relationships with animals is an incredibly rewarding experience and something I truly cherish. I am currently a student at Oregon State University pursuing a Botany degree. All of my classes are virtual, so I am extremely flexible with my schedule and availability. I’m a big believer in meeting pets where they’re at. Some want to play and explore, some want nonstop attention, and others just need a little patience and space to warm up. I’ll get to know your pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet company—I’m happy to provide whatever makes them feel most at home!
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cats! She took great care of them and made sure our older one got her medications. Sarah was professional, timely and paid attention to all the little details. Thank you 💕”
“Sydney was amazing!! We went out of town for a week and having Sydney checking in on our cats and sending daily updates and pictures gave us such peace of mind knowing they were well looked after. Our cats were kept entertained and happy with playtime and cuddles. Couldn’t recommend more to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Julie took great care of my 5-year-old German Shepherd. She was very responsive, professional, and reliable. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Selena is beloved by my older cat, Jeff. She caught all the details of his care routine and used great discretion of when to add in extra support as needed when she did drop-in visits with him over the holidays. Even when he had an upset stomach, she took care of him and the mess in a professional and compassionate way. I appreciate her kindness, level of detail in her care, and her thorough communication.”
About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I’ve been well versed in the love and patience of caring for animals. My entire life, I’ve loved animals of all kinds, taking care of neighborhood and friends dogs and cats, especially my own dog’s best friends. I’m happy to help with various animal care, with an extremely flexible schedule that will meet the day to day needs of each unique customers schedule. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!! I am currently unemployed, having just moved back to the Portland area. I’m excited about integrating pet care into my adjustment back to the Portland lifestyle, with anything from dog walks to pet sitting in new areas of town. I have an incredibly flexible schedule that will meet the needs of individuals and families to ensure your furry friend is well taken care of. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.
“Anna was so great with our cat. She gave her all the love and cuddles she wanted, and even brushed her. It’s so nice being able to go out of town and know that our cat is so well taken care of.”
“We had the pleasure of having Katie over to walk our pup today. It was a very last-minute booking, and I fumbled the time, but Katie was able to accommodate a different time and went above and beyond. We messaged Katie the morning of letting her know that our pup wasn’t feeling well and special care instructions. She responded right away that she understood and that it was no problem. I received tons of photos from her while she was here and put me right at ease 🙏”
About: I have experience taking care of family, neighbors, and friends pets. This includes cats, dogs, exotic animals, fish, and farm animals. Your pet's well being is my first priority! I just finished up a veterinary assistant school program. I am preparing to move to college station in 2 months. In the meantime I am volunteering at animal rescues, serving my local cat population, and volunteering at a bat refuge. Even then, I have an excess amount of free time. When I am in a clients home I respect a pet's space by reading their body langauge. I honor their basic needs and make sure that they get some quality time and love. If a pet has any special needs I am more than happy to accommodate. I love to learn new things!
“We have had Lindsey come watch our pets multiple times. She always communicates with me and has always had really great availability. As long as we live in Lake O, Lindsey will always be my first choice to watch our fur kiddos.”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“I've hired Stacey twice for drop-in visits for my two senior cats and I am very happy to have her. She is reliable and genuinely enjoys giving them a bit of extra loving after their feedings. I plan to book her whenever I have a pet-sitting need.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lake Oswego is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Oswego
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!
Sydney was absolutely wonderful! As a new cat mom and a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous about leaving my two ragdoll one year old boys, but Sydney immediately put me at ease. I really appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet beforehand, and it was clear right away how genuinely she loves and understands animals. While I was away, her updates made me feel completely comfortable knowing the cats were in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, spent time playing with them, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. I loved getting her updates and seeing how well they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. I highly recommend Sydney and will absolutely be booking with her again!
I'm very pleased with Melissa's approach on taking care of my kitty. She was patient and earned his trust quickly. She took extra care in spending time with him and did a great job in following instructions on feeding. I'm especially happy she took time to wash out the used cans, ready for recycling! When I returned home, he was in good spirits, thanks Melissa!
Avalon was the best cat sitter for my boy cat. I needed someone last minute and she was able to take on his care and was a great communicator throughout the process. My cat needed 3 different oral medications which she was able to administer without any problems. And if you know cats and meds it’s very challenging to get meds in them! She definitely knows cat language and behavior and I would highly recommend her for any cat care. I felt very at ease leaving my boy under her care. Not to mention my cat absolutely loved and adored her. Avalon you are a cat whisperer thank you so much!!
Veronica was wonderful. She was able to check on my dog for a last minute visit during a stressful situation. She took excellent care of him and my other dog, and went above and beyond what I booked her for. She was fast, communicative, and genuinely cared about my pets!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Oswego on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,635 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Oswego. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Oswego stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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 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.
