“Veronica was incredibly attentive to our pups. Our older dog can sometimes be anxious, but had no problems while Veronica was here - I’m guessing because she felt comfortable and taken care of. Veronica left our place cleaner than when we left. We’d be happy to have her back!”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Parrish is the absolute best!! She's extremely sweet and did such a great job with our pups! They absolutely loved her! She was even willing to stay until we got home!!! I definitely recommend her as your sitter!”
“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”
“Mackenzie did a terrific job of taking care of my elderly cat Mia. She sent frequent updates and lots of good photos and Mia really took to her which doesn’t always happen. Great sitter, I would definitely recommend and would hire Mackenzie again!”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Lindsay did a great job watching our dogs! They were friendly and easy to communicate with. They followed instructions well and adapted to a pup that was very shy and stand off-ish.”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs for over 5 years now, including those reaching the end of their life span and with specialized health needs. I’m currently a full time student, but have full availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will be open after 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I can easily crate and walk dogs as needed, and play to fulfill any health/social needs! I’m also good with keeping distance if that required.
“Finn loved Natalie! That alone says enough, but Natalie also was great about staying in touch and sending updates and photos. On top of all that, she left my house spotless! Great experience all around!!”
“Kaylee was great! My pups have some special needs and are not the.best rained. Kaylee did a fantastic job making them feel safe and happy. I will definitely look to book Kaylee again!”
“Mark was a wonderful communicator and took great care of our senior dog as well as our home. He sent lots of pics throughout the stay and we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, and a happy pup! 10/10 would love to work with Mark again.”
“Kimberly did an awesome job caring for our dog and house while we were out of town. She stayed in touch, gave us updates about the dog and definitely gave him tons of love and playtime, and the house was immaculate when we returned.”
“Jamie too such good care of our girl, Piper! He provided frequent updates and checked in as needed. I could tell from the pics that Piper enjoyed Jamie’s company. She was very relaxed and pampered. Jamie was a natural with her - taking her on walks and letting her lounge in equal measure. As a 9 years old, she enjoys bursts of energy, but is more likely to sleep on her blanket or to pretend to be a speed bump! I didn’t worry at all while we were away. I would highly recommend Jamie to take care of your fur baby!”
“Lucinda was very attentive to the unique needs of our elderly dachshund. We appreciated her flexibility, communication, and her updates while she watched over our pups and our home. I would recommend Lucinda to anyone in need of a dog sitter or house sitter (or both).”
“I have had dogs all my life but have always used a kennel. Since my girls are getting older, I really wanted them to stay in their familiar safe place...home. I interviewed a few Rover sitters and decided on Kiana, loved her personality, smile and contact with my two Westies. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She sent regular pictures and texts to let me know things were going fine. I came home to a clean house and even some peanut butter cookies! I will definitely use Kiana in the future. Thank you Kiana!”
“Alicia was wonderful with Bernie and Lucy! Bernie has some special needs, so it’s really important to us to have someone who is attentive, patient, and comfortable with his routine. Alicia did a great job with both dogs over the long weekend, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’d happily have her watch them again and definitely recommend her!”
“Carly is very sweet and professional. She came to meet our dogs before we officially booked everything (which went well!), and she spoiled them with long walks the whole time we were out of town. Both of them seemed very happy when we returned, as though they had a wonderful time — Thank you so much for taking such great care of Hazel & Aspen!”
“Sparkle house sat for our 2 1/2 year old dog & 12 year old cat, for a weekend. Sparkle was excellent in letting us know when they had arrived & when they had left the house. They were very diligent & patient getting to know our dog. And he clearly adores Sparkle. Our standoffish cat also warmed to Sparkle. Excellent care to our fur babies. Plenty of photos. Sparkle was very tidy & I very much appreciate their effort. They have strong communication skills. And the neighbors were delighted to meet them. We are hoping for many more visits.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marylhurst
Tabitha was the absolute best! My senior pup has never spent a night with someone she wasn’t familiar with and has the most random old lady quirks, so I wasn’t sure how she was going to settle with a stranger. Tabitha took on the challenge like it was no problem. She sent me regular updates and photos, made sure Kihei was comfortable, loved, fed and exercised. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my 4-legged baby and would book her again no question!
Celeste did an amazing job helping my anxious dog (and her anxious dog mom) feel comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I could tell from her pictures that Dora was happy and relaxed. She did a great job sending updates and photos. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in caring and competent hands.
Chanel took such excellent care of our dog, Ralph. He seemed a bit depressed to see her go! He loved all the 1:1 attention she gave him, along with all the walks. Chanel sent us the cutest videos and pictures while we were away. I will book Chanel again and again!
Sydney has watched our two dogs twice now, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She's an excellent communicator, keeping us updated while we're away, which gives us so much peace of mind. We always come home to two happy, healthy dogs and an incredibly clean house. It's clear she genuinely cares for our dogs and treats our home with respect. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.
This was our first time using Rover, and we had a wonderful experience. Janice was incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
Brennan was wonderful with our two dogs and cat while we were away. He provided excellent care, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house in perfect condition when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
This was the first time Lisa stayed with our golden Beatrice. She was great!! She took excellent care of Beatrice and our home. We came back to happy dog and a clean home. Lisa sent regular updates and photos and left a detailed care sheet for us with everything that she did each day. She followed our instructions for Beatrice perfectly. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your pets. We will definitely rebook Lisa in the future.

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 Marylhurst 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 Marylhurst 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Marylhurst 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.
