About: I have been a certified veterinary technician for 6 years. I've been taking care of pets ranging from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats for pretty much my entire life! I also worked as a positive reinforcement dog trainer for a couple years while in tech school. As a veterinarian technician, I feel confident administering medications, am comfortable with animals with medical conditions, and also know dog/cat CPR. I also have experience with fearful or reactive animals. I no longer work in a veterinary hospital so I able to spend as much time w your pets as needed. I am currently open to booking any day of the week and can stay overnight. While I'm at home I am always cuddled up with one of my pets and it would be no different in your home! As a pet sitter/walker, my goal is to give your pets the attention they want and follow the routine you have. I want their time away from you to be as stress free as possible. I do not let pets under my care socialize with unknown animals or people. I also do not do off leash activities unless in a fenced in area.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have cared for both large and small dogs, cats of many shapes and sizes, and even horses and birds. I have experience with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, lap cats, anxious pets— I think all of them deserve love and quality care equally. I’m also a very active person and will make sure dogs get regular walks— I believe a well-exercised dog makes everyone happier! I work full-time Sun-Thurs, and unfortunately I’m not able to have any pets of my own (yet) due to house rules. Because of this I’m always grateful for the opportunity to get some quality time with pets. Earning an animal’s trust and learning about what makes them unique is a beautiful feeling, and the knowledge that I’m helping someone out at the same time makes it even better. I’m currently taking classes, so my main focus on weekends is schoolwork, which means I have plenty of reason to stay in and hang out with the pets. I think this works great for house-sitting since I am staying in to study for the most part, aka lots of quality time spent with your loved ones! I am very conscientious about what I’m doing in someone else’s home and make a point to leave it how I found it, if not better. When it comes to house sitting, I am able to spend much of the day at the house and stay overnight with them, which provides a sense of security and companionship for your babies. I believe pets are most comfortable in their home environment so my goal is to keep their stress as low as possible, caring for them the same way they are used to- ie. timed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks; whatever I can do to keep everyone happy and healthy. I know how hard being away from your fur babies can be, so I make sure to take lots of photos to send!
“Simon was wonderful with our dog Piper this week. Piper was comfortable and felt loved while we were away. Very communicative and timely. We will be using Simon again in the future”
“Susan helped me out when an emergency came up and I had to suddenly extend my trip. She was so awesome with my cats and an even more awesome person for helping out in a really stressful time! We hadn’t even had the opportunity to do a meet and greet and she jumped in to save the day! Truly I can’t thank you enough!!!”
“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!”
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
“Kai was great with communication and understood the needs of my pup immediately! They were able to help with a short notice request and went above my expectations!”
“Sequoia is the absolute best! She treats my cats as if they were her own which puts me at ease when I’m going to be out of town! My kitties have bonded with her and love her so much! ❤️”
“Chelsey is amazing!! Whenever I am away I feel at ease knowing my baby is safe. She is so communicative, flexible with availability, and gets along great with my anxious/antisocial cat. She always sends me photos of them loving on each other and fulfills all requests, no matter how specific! I’ve booked with Chelsey twice and will continue to book with her when I go out of town!”
“Nicolette was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She provided thorough updates and photos with every visit and kept an eye on our boy’s occasional tummy issues. We will definitely rebook for our next vacation!”
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
About: I've been surrounded by farm animals and domestic pets my whole life and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and therapy animals! I have tons of experience grooming animals, dog sitting for dogs recovering from surgeries, and basic pet care like feeding, giving medication, and playing! I have experience with elderly animals, disabled animals, and have even assisted my dog at her chiropractor appointments! Also, I can give your dog a bath for $1o, my uncle owned a dog grooming business and I have volunteer experience! Additionally, I have volunteered at senior citizen homes and have experience with emotional support animals. I am currently getting my pet pigeon certified to visit people in hospice care! Since I am home for the summer I assist my disabled parents by feeding and playing with our two dogs in Los Angeles. But when I'm in Portland for college I look after a pigeon, a kitten, several fish, and aquatic snails! Additionally, I am great with animals because I love science, am very patient and loving, and I have a strong stomach so I'm great with cleaning up messes! I am very organized and will follow all of your instructions to ensure your baby's safety and happiness! I'll always ensure your pet is comfortable and has water and snuggles! Communication is incredibly important, and I am always available to call or text :)
About: I've had dogs since I was a baby, and have taken care of dogs since I was 9, I have walked neighbors dogs, as well as family and friends dogs. I have taken care of dogs from chihuahua to great dane and have trained all three of my dogs for walking, tricks, and potty training! I also know how to do Cpr on a dog. I am home for the summer as a college student and am very flexible with lots of open dates. I am willing to work out the perfect schedule for you and your dog. I am ok to wake up early in the morning and be there to help your dog in the evenings as well. I will feed, groom, and play with my pets and others that I am caring for. I always make sure to take weather for walking, their behavior, and the clients needs into consideration to make sure my animal is very well taken care of and happy. I am all about safety and responsibility.

Gera was amazing! She responded to our super last-minute request and was at our house an hour later to meet our dog. Asked all the right questions, and was flexible and responsive. She updated us consistently each day, which my kids loved and even watered my lonely plants. Thank you Greta!
I cannot recommend Wendy enough! She took care of our anxious dog during our vacation and went above and beyond to give him the love we needed while we were gone. She administered multiple medications, engaged with him in play, and provided many photos which let us rest easy that he was in good hands. Will certainly rebook again! Thank you!
Jason was so incredible with my four month old puppy with medical issues. He quickly came over for an initial greet. He was on time for every walk twice a day. He was active the whole time and didn’t sit around like many other walkers may. He was attentive to instructions and went so far as to clean my dog every time he went outside. He was safe, kind, and clearly loves animals. I will be requesting him again for all my dog walking/sitting/boarding needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Taylor dropped in on my 13 year old terrier-chihuahua mix twice a day for 2 days (4 visits). He absolutely loved her immediately and she really seemed to understand his personality right off the bat. I liked having pics and reports of how he was doing because it had been a couple of years since I’ve had to be away from him for an extended period. I highly recommend Taylor for dog or cat care and will definitely request her again.
Jessica is amazing! She's been so patient with my 1yo stranger danger issues and so kind to my old boy who needs a little extra help here and there. She's also been very communicative on any questions or concerns, and has not once come across as annoyed at my near daily texts while I'm adjusting to have someone care for my pets. I hope to keep her around for a while.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Milwaukie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Milwaukie 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Milwaukie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
