About: Hi! My name is Sage, and I have around 4 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I worked at a dog and cat grooming salon for 3 years, volunteered at an animal shelter for a year, and have also spent about 6 months housesitting and caring for pets for multiple families. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I’m comfortable helping with special needs, including giving medications and taking dogs to the park. I also have reliable transportation and am happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Thanks for your consideration! I currently have an open schedule and reliable transportation, which provides lots of flexibility to meet your dogs’ specific needs! I prefer morning-late afternoon, but am also open to occasional evening care. When caring for dogs in their own homes, I make sure to look out for body language cues, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: Pets have always been a part of my life, and I pride myself on treating others' animals with the same tenderness and attention that I give my own pets. I am gentle and intuitive friendly human to all critters, and love dogs and cats equally. I pay attention to the details in terms of the animals needs and signals and am happy to communicate anything that seems odd or that I am unsure about. I am an educator on summer break and have great availability. There will be a week here or there when I am helping at school, but otherwise my schedule is wide open. I take great care to follow owner instructions. I make a point to connect with pets do matter how brief a visit is. Kindness, trust, and communication are at the top of my list. This includes keeping your house and pet secure as I am coming and going.
“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Allison was absolutely FANTASTIC with Ollie. I love the communication and actually working with Ollie on his walks and manners. Would 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”
“ChristyLynn was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request. She was great with the dogs, they sense right away if someone is a dog person and she definitely is. She asked if it was ok for her girls to come for an evening visit and the dogs loved that. Great communication and appreciated the pics. Will definitely use her again.”
“Adeline is officially my puppy’s favorite sitter, and we look forward to continuing to rebook her exceptional services! 10/10 recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Lucinda was great! I had a bit of an unusual care situation going on while I was gone this time, but I appreciated her updates and would definitely book with her again.”
“Susan did a great job with the drop in visits and our senior pup. She kept us informed and feeling calm while we were away knowing how our girl was doing and that she was getting the care she needed.”
“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cats! She took great care of them and made sure our older one got her medications. Sarah was professional, timely and paid attention to all the little details. Thank you 💕”
“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”
“Thank you so much Katie for caring for my fur babies in short notice and during a holiday season!! Thank you again for being there for them! I look forward to having your assistance again in the future!”
“Charlie was fabulous! He is a true cat whisperer. He showed up on time. Communicated any and everything I needed to know to be reassured my elderly kitty was well taken care of care of in my absence and was happy to do extras like bring in packages and mail. My cat was literally waiting at the door for him when he brought back my house key! I and my cat would be thrilled to have him back.”
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have experience with caring for pets, especially when it comes to senior care, thanks to my own two cats who I had from early childhood to my early adult years. I played with them, fed and cleaned them, and took great care of them when they both reached old age. This does not mean I only have experience caring for cats though, as I have spent time with and would help care for the dogs of my friends and neighbors, and have a love for animals in general, researching and learning facts about many different species. I am a college student who is off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I would be available from Sunday to Thursday in the mornings and the afternoons. I would make sure that all the doors are locked and that anything that could pose as a danger to the pet would be kept out of their sight.
About: I dog walked for 3 years regularly and owned a cat for 15 years before she passed. I have two cats who are my world . I also used to take care of horses I have a full time job but I create the schedule so I can make time for any work. Afternoons on work days I can do but days I’m off, I can do anytime I care for them by showing them love and trust. I love giving affection to animals because they make our lives better and they deserve all the love
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Atlas took incredible care of our three cats this past weekend, providing wonderful updates and giving our fur babies so much genuine love and attention. We had complete peace of mind while away and will definitely be booking them again!
Kristen is wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away. She is reliable and communicative. Our cat is sometimes shy around people that she does not know, but quickly became comfortable with Kristen and came out to play and interact. Thanks so much!
I don’t understand the psychology of pet owners and pet providers… perhaps it’s the common bond of loving animals, but i handed Summer our house keys within 30 minutes of our meet and greet appointment. I generally don’t do that easily. Summer was responsive to our requests for our cat’s care and meal plan and arranged to fit into our schedule without question. She sent us great photos and answered our questions promptly.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Milwaukie on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 3,451 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Milwaukie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milwaukie. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
