“Cameryn was extremely open with me about her choices and how that would work with Baker. I believe she is honest and especially very caring and does what she says! This was our first time away from Baker over night and without relatives. He managed well and was not even sure we were gone because he STAYED AT HIS OWN HOME! I am very grateful!!!”
“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”
About: Hi! My name is Chloe, and I am an exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer working in a physical therapy setting. When I have free time on my hands I like to pick up extra work! I’m passionate about health, fitness, and wellness—not just for people, but for animals too. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, so if your dog is able, I enjoy playing and walking! I’ve cared for many dogs over the years and treat every pet like family. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while keeping your furry friend happy, healthy, active, and safe while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, typically 7–8 hours a day. I’m able to accommodate potty breaks during my lunch break, and I keep the distance and radius I accept bookings from relatively close to my workplace so I can easily come back during lunch when needed. My weekends are wide open when I am not dog sitting! When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routines you provide and make sure they receive the attention and companionship they need.
About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.
About: After becoming an elementary school teacher 15 years ago, I began dog sitting for coworkers and some of my parents friends. Then, 10 years ago, I adopted my own dog, Moxie. My 14 year old girl would love to have some friends over to play, she still has a lot of energy for a senior dog! She is fixed, about 45 lbs, fully vaccinated, and gets along with most dogs, especially smaller dogs, we would just need to have them meet first. We have a cozy home with a fully fenced yard in SE Vancouver. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with vision, hearing, and mobility challenges, dogs that take oral medication, and administering diabetes medication syringes. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule! Please reach out and let me know what daily or weekly routine works best for you and your pet. I have a fully fenced yard, a 14 year old female schnauzer mix that loves to play, prefer crate trained dogs for when I’m away during the day, but dogs are free to roam my house when I’m home and can sleep in my room at night.
“First time using Rover and found Amanda - she is fantastic! From the moment we did the first meeting, I could tell that she’s a natural with pets and very caring. Highly recommended!”
“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”
“Skyler was absolutely amazing to all of our pets and everything was done so well. She took photos daily and it was clear that our pets were treated extremely well.”
“We had a great experience with Shane. He was so responsive and really took the stress out of leaving our two dogs and cat overnight without having to put them through leaving home. He took great care of our home and fur babies.”

“Having Madelyn house sit for us was an absolutely delightful experience. She was wonderful with our shy pups and was very respectful of our home. Absolutely 10 out of 10 experience!”
“My baby Charlie(Ragdoll cat) spent 4 days and 3 nights with Jen. I loved and appreciated the pictures she sent each day. Another thing I appreciated so much was the note she left my friend and myself. She is very kind and humble, and I believe took really good care of Charlie. I’ll be calling Jen again.”
“Eric did a great job with the dogs and made friends with our cat, which only likes us occasionally. The house was clean, the plants watered, and he took the time to send us daily pics. Eric was great.”
“Amy was quick to respond to our request to watch our puppy Jazzy. She met us the day prior for a meet and greet. Jazzy immediately took to her. Amy is a lovely person and loves animals. She asked us important questions regarding care. The day of she arrived early and already had an idea where to take Jazzy for her walk. We appreciated her checking in our birds as well. As a sitter she went above and beyond for caring for Jazzy and our 2 parakeets. We appreciated her helping us on such short notice. She provided care amazingly, gave us plenty of updates throughout the day with photos, and asked us for any additional direction. We would happily request Amy again to watch Jazzy!”

About: Hi, I’m Talena! I've always had a natural passion for dog handling and consider myself an amateur dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement techniques to keep dogs engaged, happy, and safe. Whether your little one needs a high-energy playtime or structured guidance, I'd love to provide the dedicated care they deserve! I work at a local credit union, which provides me with a highly stable and structured schedule. This flexibility allows me to easily commute to your home and dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for, feeding, and playing with your pets in their own comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established routines, secure all entry points, double-check leashes during walks, and keep harmful items completely out of reach to ensure a safe, stress-free environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mill Plain
Mya was great and my dogs love her! Both are my dogs are reactive and she knew just how to take care of them. Great communicator and kept me informed with pictures and feedback at just the right amount. She left my house spotless and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who wants their animals given lots of love.
Victor was great to work with and went above and beyond to care for our pack. He was always on time, communicated quickly, left our house in great shape, and even stayed late to make sure our dogs got their night treat and evening walk before we returned home. I would happily work with him again.
I booked with Amanda last minute. Amanda was super responsive and I felt like my dog was in good hands. Two days before I left, I discovered my dog’s cancer had gone out of remission. Amanda handled all of the medications and changes in needs with grace and understanding. She was super communicative and my dog loved her. My house was also left in amazing shape and I would absolutely use Amanda again. I cannot express how thankful I am to have no concerns about leaving my baby with her at such a vulnerable point in her life. Thank you so much!
Shani was exceptional with her communication and asked me questions whenever she needed clarification or additional details. Shani was proactive in reviewing the instructions I sent ahead of time. Shani stayed at my house for 4 days with my 12-week-old puppy and we all know a puppy can be a lot of work! I arrived home to a happy puppy and my house was spotless. Shani cleaned up every poo and put everything away exactly how it was, she wiped paws so the puppy wasn't dragging in extra dirt. It was so nice to come home and know my puppy was taken care of the way I would. Shani sent pictures throughout the time and was very responsive if I checked in. I would highly recommend her!
Just as all her other reviews say, Allison is professional, reliable, and very good with your pets. She gave us so much peace of mind that our two kitties were safe and cared for while we were away. She also gained the trust of our normally anxious boy very quickly, a feat that few have achieved.
Brooklyn took care of our older Aussie and home while we were gone overnight. She was very conscientious and attentive, keeping us updated with messages and photos. She also left our home in perfect condition. We came home to a happy dog and feel confident she received excellent care while we were gone. We recommend Brooklyn to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Zahara did great with my kitten Earl Grey! He’s pretty nosy and active and she did a perfect job keeping him entertained and happy. We compromised well on his feeding schedule and her work schedule too. Earl LOVED having her he was always snuggly, playful, and happy in the photos!
Jackie is a wonderful pet carer and house sitter. Our tripawd kitty requires meds and special care and Jackie was on top of it. He fell head over heels for her too. As a bonus, Jackie left our house in excellent condition and made our return after a long trip so easy. Highly recommend her services!

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 Mill Plain 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 Mill Plain 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 Mill Plain 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
