About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”
About: i was raised around dogs my entire life. i have a pup who is 4 years old who is like my baby. i know what it is like to have an animal that you love like a child & i want to help others out by treating their dogs like they’re family (: i am a stay at home mama at the moment. i have 3 years of experience working at a dog boarding and grooming shop as a kennel assistant 🤍 i have 2 fenced yards that are big enough for the doggos to run around in. there are many toys at my house for the dogs to play with and even have 2 friendly dogs for the pups to play with as well. my puppy is pretty active and wants to play constantly, she loves the comfort of another animal.
About: Book me and breathe a sigh of relief! You can relax a little knowing that your cat isn’t just receiving food, water, and playtime, but heaps of genuine love, affection, and understanding! Hi there! My name is India, and I'm a lifelong animal-lover from sunny Southern California. I have always adored both cats and dogs, and I'm deeply committed to understanding their behavior/needs both in general and as individuals. Though I wasn’t able to have my own cat until early adulthood, I have always been fascinated by them. After taking an animal behavior course in high school, my awareness of the communication potential between humans and all animals increased dramatically, and my ability to communicate with cats and dogs especially benefitted. Since then, I have developed not just a passion but a real knack for genuine, effective, and compassionate communication with our furry friends. What’s my secret? To me, each and every cat or dog is an individual first and foremost, and deserves to be treated as such. I take great joy in meeting all of them and revel in the experience of getting to know their unique personalities, quirks, and preferences. Above all, I respect them and meet them wherever they are. There's just nothing quite like the love and appreciation you receive from an animal who has just realized they can truly trust you with their needs! As for experience, I spent much of 2019 working at a large pet store, where I received thorough training in basic dog behavior and the prevention/de-escalation of aggressive encounters involving both humans and multiple canines. Over the last 10 years, I have provided as-needed pet and house sitting services primarily to friends with 1-2 cats or small-medium dogs. I also have experience with elderly cats as well as those with other special needs, so I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, inhaled, or topical). Prior to that, I raised my first cat from a kitten through early adulthood (3 years total). Until recently, I was also caring for my own cat, Scully, whom I adopted as a terrified, traumatized kitten 7 years ago and have since transformed into a curious, mischievous little lovebug! It took some time and oh so much patience, but rehabilitating and socializing her has easily been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Unfortunately, she now lives out-of-state with her other parent, but on the flipside this leaves me with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate your pets and your schedule! I currently cannot care for animals in my home, but I genuinely prefer offering in the pet's home environment, where they are most comfortable, anyway. I also own my own, very reliable vehicle, so I do not mind traveling up to 30 minutes from my location in Outer SE Portland. I also currently have the flexibility to accommodate almost any schedule, including multiple overnights, so please don't hesitate to reach out for a quote! NOTE: Although I absolutely adore big dogs, I am unable to offer dog-walking services to pooches weighing over 40lbs. I currently have the flexibility to accommodate almost any schedule, both drop-ins and overnights. I require small windows of time in the morning and evening to care for my own cat, but otherwise my days are very open. I am currently unable to provide care in my own home. However, when providing care in a client’s home, I am always careful to ask about and document any risk factors that might already exist in the home. I generally default to the pet parent’s knowledge of and rules for their own animals, but I’m also careful to maintain my own knowledge of house plants and food items that can be toxic or deadly to pets.
“So grateful for Teresa’s gentle approach. Our shepherd is very nervous around new people. We worked to develop a plan and Teresa thoughtfully and attentively carried it out the plan with us. Super reliable!”
“Amazing dog walker. Jasper was on time and went above and beyond in caring for our pup. On an exceptionally rainy day they lent her a doggy rain jacket, and left us with a personally made pet portrait 💕”
“My dog Opie loves Kira! She’s is super kind and very responsive. There was a day that my dog wasn’t feeling very good and had an accident which Kira handled! I’m very thankful to have her help!”
“Simon responded very quickly to my request and was super flexible in her approach to taking care of my dog. Her communication was excellent. My dog was clearly excited to see her and go walking!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens and more and love spending time around animals! In the past I’ve been relied on to care for neighbors and friends pets, and would love to continue doing that :) I am currently working part time and will be home most of the day to hang with your pet! I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will be home most of the day to keep your pet company, and have two very friendly dogs who can keep them entertained and play while I’m away.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, ages, temperaments, and breeds! No matter the pet, you can count on me to ensure your animal receives the utmost attention and enrichment. I am open and available for almost any day and time! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights, weekdays and weekends- I should be able to care for your animal any time, including overnight! I am very attentive to the needs of your pets as well as your home and personal property. I love taking your animal(s) out for walks around the neighborhood, and I will leave your home looking spotless!
“I needed some temp help at the park while I have a cast on and Charlie was willing! Met me at Alton Baker to help with Hoot & Holler and I was grateful. I have a hard time handling two 100 lb dogs even with a good arm. Friendly, easy to chat with and capable guy!”
“Thanks so much Cassidy for taking good care of Archie like always so appreciate your care of him and making sure that he has all of his needs met! I’m so grateful of your attentiveness and flexibility to make sure that my little guy has the best experience while I’m away. You’re the best!”
“Seth is wonderful! He is dependable, great with dogs and communication. He is happy to answer any questions I have, even when they are redundant! He is consistently on time and always reachable. My pup Max absolutely loves him!”
About: I enjoyed decades of loving and caring for my own dogs and cats, though their long, healthy lives. Through that I became familiar with medicating, training and creating happy lives for those lovable souls. My work on Rover hosting and house-sitting has been rewarding for the pet families I've supported, and for myself. I've hosted my neighbor's small older dog Marty for a week or long weekends and often assist my friend (a Star Sitter!) with walks and general attention/care when visiting them. My son's cats and hedgehog are happy to stay with me when they travel. My work is part-time, and I'm typically a home body. I'm generally open to distraction, the sort that I expect to encounter with pets, and the break from work routine is very welcome to me. I'm able and willing to let your pet wander my home and fenced back yard. As they like, I enjoy providing affection and head, back, belly rubs and scruffs. I'm happy to tune my hours to meet a unique feeding or meds schedule. If its suggested and allowed I'm also good to offer reasonably timed treats, and of course daily walks in my quiet neighborhood - a dog-friendly area adjacent to a green trail.
“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”

Shannon is soo wonderful! You can tell she truly loves animals. My dog is a rescue and can be slow to warm up to new people but she loved Shannon immediately. It is really reassuring when I work long days to know someone who truly cares about and deeply loves animals is checking on my dog. She also is very knowledgeable about animals and goes out of her way to meet their needs. I am so thankful to have found her. I strongly recommend her!
Chrissy has been amazing with my dog, Roo! She brings such great energy and clearly has a real gift with animals. Roo can be a little cautious with new walkers at first, but Chrissy knew exactly how to win her over and put her at ease. If you're looking for a walker or sitter, your pets would be lucky to have her!
My dog Hooper was getting a little stir crazy being at home all day while I was working. To help I asked Raphael to check in on Hooper and take him on a walk during the day to break up the time Hooper was alone. And what a difference that has made in Hooper. He is genuinely happy now when I walk in the door. I would highly recommend Raphael for dog walks and check-ins. A happy dog is worth it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lents is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lents. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lents after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lents. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
