“Brianna was lovely! She took the time to meet my cat before confirming the booking and was very agreeable to all my many specific requests. I really appreciated that she was gentle and patient with my cat when she was shy and anxious about being around someone new. I highly recommend booking with Brianna! :)”
About: I have owned and cared for pets for the last 40 years. I love them like my family. My pets have all lived long healthy lives.i have fostered thru Hopes Haven and have fostered and kept pets for individuals in need. I love them as my kids and grandkids. I an a retired nana. I have a schedule that is flexible to meet most people’s needs for their pets. I currently have two dogs and one cat on property that are a priority in my life. I have 5 fenced acres on a 20 acre farm. A pet door, access inside and out for water. Covered porches and quality controlled heat and A/C in my home. All pets are allowed on furniture and beds. They have toys to play with and can go outside unlimited. I play with them and love on them. I never sit more than 2 pets in my home at one time to insure they have my attention.
About: Im passionate about all animals! When your pet stays with me they will spend the day doing puzzles, playing on the pawsome playground, and enjoying TLC. I offer new chew toys and treats and lots of love! I am a homemaker with free availability, I wake up early and spend a lot of time outdoors. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a nice sized backyard and lots of indoor activities: puzzles, new chew toys and more. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
About: I have always been “dog” person. I got my first dog when I was 5 and have had multiple dogs since. I was a dog walker for neighbors and friends during adolescence and my teen years. I will make sure your dog is well taken care of! I am currently of of work for the summer because I work for the school district. I have a lot of extra free time to occupy. I have a huge yard and a crate if needed! I also have an 11 year old who loves dogs and would love to interact with some new, friendly puppers.
About: My love for dogs started when I was a kid—my grandpa taught me how to create gentle bonds with our family’s dogs. I became the one with the dog obsessed-personality and for two years I volunteered at the Animal Shelter in SLO, CA. It was so rewarding and all I ever want to do is make sure these animals always feel loved! Any time someone needs an amateur trainer, they call me! I love dogs, and want to make my passion for them into a career. Moving to Oregon has been a whirlwind, and I’m excited to continue working with the community and their furry friends! I’ve recently moved to Oregon and I’m ready to get back into dog-sitting for the time being! That means my availability is wide open and I can drop in for quick visits or weekend stays. My own experience with dogs is unorthodox to some; it’s their world and I just live in it. I love them inside and following me around and don’t mind them on furniture or in rooms. I have experience with crate training if that is what is preferred, as well as dog walking since we learned tactics in the animal shelter. I also like to expand on dog enrichment to keep their minds engaged as well as their bodies!
“Alivia was great with our two golden retrievers! She did drop ins for us during the day while we were working. She brought our dogs toys and treats. Phoebe and Winston give this rover sitter a A++! We will definitely use Alivia in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small for 8 years. I have some experience training puppies and adult dogs as well. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, over all take great care of their furry friends for weeks before. I have always had a love for furbabies, I always volunteered at the rescue shelters as much as I could. Im currently enrolled in college, however after class hours and in between I spend all my time taking care of my fur babies at home. I am not currently working which gives me plenty of time to play and care for your loved pups/kitties. I have a big yard and 2 playful pups to keep your furry friends company. I have a couple crates so that if needed they can have down time away from each other to ensure I can prioritize the care given to your loved ones.
“Sarah was amazing. My kitties are kind of shy and she was able to get them to come out and let her pet them and play. My daughter wants her contact information because she would like to book her to take care of her pets in the future too. We will definitely rebook. My husband says she was fantastic. Thank you so much, Sarah.”
About: I have been caring for all different types and sizes of animals since a very young age. I used to work at a veterinary/daycare/boarding/grooming job and now work as a vet assistant! I have also pet sit for friends, family, even neighbors! I am very confident in caring for multiple pets at a time, feeding, administering medications, training, bathing, even socializing pets! I do also have experience with horses as well as other barn animals. I do have my own horse so I am able to care for livestock as well! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant but am able to care for pets Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays, and Saturdays after 3pm! My schedule may vary sometimes but that is typically what my weeks look like! I do live in a 2 bedroom house with a yard yard. I do have 3 dogs and 3 cats but I do have a crate and am able to crate your pet if needed!
“We continue to rely on Whitney for help, and she is amazing! She stopped in to spend time with our cat Dash. She sent cute pictures, and was able to keep her on her regular food schedule.”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat pets like family, not just a checklist. I pay close attention to their routines, personalities, comfort levels, and little quirks, whether that means giving a shy pet space, keeping a playful pet engaged, or sending updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. I am reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home 😊 Pet sitting is my full-time work, so my days really are built around caring for animals and showing up for them consistently. I love that I get to spend my time helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. Since this is my main focus, I’m able to be thoughtful and flexible with each pet’s routine. Some pets want playtime and attention, some need a calm presence and a little patience, and some just want their meals on time and their space respected. I try to meet each pet where they are and keep their day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible. I also have my own cat, Mango, so I know how much the little details matter. I bring that same care into every visit, whether I’m checking in on cats, caring for dogs, sending updates, or just helping your pets and home feel settled while you’re gone I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home. I make sure doors, gates, windows, food, and supplies are handled carefully, and I pay attention to the little things that help prevent stress or accidents. I also like to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible and help them feel secure in their own space. Whether your pet is social, shy, playful, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and give them care that feels patient, gentle, and trustworthy.
“This was my husband and I’s second time having Imani watch our cat. She is amazing with pets and very friendly. She took the time to meet us and our cat before our first booking. Our cat is a little high needs and requires a medication/nebulizer and Imani took care of that while we were gone no problem! Imani also takes lots of pictures which we love seeing while we’re away. We will always check if Imani is available when planning our vacations! 😊😊”
“Erin was so helpful and exactly what my cat, Jared needed for a pet sitter! Erin’s attention to my pet’s needs and love for animals really shows! 100% will book Erin again, and I recommend Erin to anyone needing a pet sitter!……unless it conflicts with my bookings, ha ha. 😺”
About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant! I have four years of clinical experience, which has allowed me to work with several different species including dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animal species! I understand basic health needs for each animal and love to give extra time and cuddles/ enrichment to your furry friends! I’m a full time Pre Veterinarian student who is looking for part time sitting opportunities! These smaller jobs work perfectly with my school schedule as I can offer care before my classes and after as well as on weekends. Additionally, I can also take on longer jobs! I may just need more time in advance to make sure our schedules align! I believe keeping your furry friend happy and healthy and safe is the highest priority! Depending on the species I can help with basic needs such as feeding, Medicating, walking, enrichment, Pedicures, tidying up their area, ect. Services I offer: -Drop ins -House sitting -Olfactory Walks
About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

“Megan was fantastic! This is our first experience using Rover, and we couldn't be happier. We were very nervous about letting someone into our home and caring for our 2 dogs(and cat). Megan came to meet us and our pups first and put us at ease immediately! She made sure our dogs were let outside and got their wiggles out so we could enjoy our vacation.. She kept us update daily with pictures and messages. She dealt with technical issues (garage door glitches) and mischievous attacks of our Christmas tree in order to keep our home and pets safe. She was everything we needed, and more! Thank you Megan, we will be using you on a regular basis, as well as vacations!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 914 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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.
