“Natalie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She kept in touch with us on a regular basis and sent photos several times as well. We came back from our trip to find our cats and our home well cared for.”

“Amazing as always! Whenever we go out of town, she’s always our first choice. She’s amazing with our dogs, spends tons of time with them, and takes great care of the house too. Our dogs absolutely love her! She makes going out of town and being away from them so much less stressful. Would definitely recommend!”

About: It’s hard to find someone to trust to watch your fur babies. I’m hoping to give you peace of mind when you are away. I can be flexible to a pet’s needs including exercise, socialization, potty schedule and medication regiments. I can’t think of a time in my life we didn’t have animals. As a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my early 20’s. It was a great experience. I live close to a dog park and Forest Park or will take your dog on a run if needed. Also, there is also an emergency vet clinic nearby; just in case. A daily check in can be provided including photos. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! I work from home so my pet routine with Lilly and Winston grounds me. Especially for morning and evening feedings and daily walks. As they are getting older our activity has slowed but I’m ready to meet the exercise levels for any pet that I’m sitting. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. I have been working with animals nearly my whole life so adding new animals to our pack is second nature.

About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.

My cat is a bit of a nervous little fuzz with new people but she got him to open up and even cuddle with her! I would absolutely hire her again and I recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter.”

“Jenny was unbelievably awesome! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip, and both of our cats took to her immediately. She has such a gentle, calm, consent-based approach with cats that made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She stayed at our house while we were away and was extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire stay. She sent us the BEST photos and updates, gave our cats tons of love and attention, and even agreed to feed the squirrels in our yard. 🥹 She also went above and beyond by stripping the beds and tidying up before we came home, which was such a lovely surprise. Jenny is an absolute gem. I am officially calling her a cat sorceress because I don’t know how else to explain how quickly our cats trusted her. 😂 We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a beautifully cared-for home. Thank you, Jenny!”

About: My own dog recently passed away at the age of 20, so I am an expert in care for Senior Pets and Special Needs (blindness, deafness, etc), and a calm and patient sitter for anxious dogs. I am very experienced with medication and specialized diets. Your pet will have a wonderful time in my care! I run my own businesses and am very flexible at the current time to care for your pets! I can even bring my work with me on occasion if needed. I am very respectful of your space and often take dogs out to the park or somewhere outdoors to play if there is no yard. Your animals will get plenty of playtime and love, and I value staying in close communication should any issues arise!

“Hanna was amazing with our two Aussie pups! They were pretty anxious with the fireworks, but she did everything she could to keep them calm and comfortable! She gave great updates with pictures throughout the whole weekend, which made me feel much better about leaving our pups at home! She played with them a ton in the backyard (the time lapse videos showed two very happy pups) and even worked on some training with them. We will certainly book with Hanna again!”

About: I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I'm a full-time professional housesitter! That means that I am very flexible to accommodate your pet's usual routine. I work in data annotation, and it's all on my laptop. My work schedule is incredibly flexible. This means I can set up anywhere with wifi, and we'll be good to go! I have pretty extensive gardening knowledge, having taken a large chunk of the WSU home horticulture and master gardener's training program. I've grown a lot of different vegetables and berries, and I can care for flowers and ornamentals, too! I love plants and would very much enjoy spending time in your garden, monitoring plant health and giving good morning waterings, etc.

About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.

About: I've lived my whole life around pets, specifically cats and dogs. My family and friends alike all relied on me for pet sitting care which included regular dog walking and extended, overnight stays. I'm currently not working and only going to school. When I do get a job, it will only be part-time and I'll update my schedule accordingly. As of right now, I have ample time for frequent check-in's and overnight stays, especially in Yamhill County. I unfortunately do not offer pet care at my personal home, but am willing to stay overnight at client's homes. I believe in leaving places better than I found them, AKA no trace left behind!

“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Laurelwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,504 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurelwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Laurelwood 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 Laurelwood 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 Laurelwood 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurelwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
