“This was our first time needing a sitter/ walker and using Rover- and Tommy was AMAZING! He was extremely thorough during our meet and greet, which was such a relief to us. He took Luna on a long walk (longer than we do, which is awesome!), and spent quality time with her while we were out all day. He kept great communication throughout, as well. It was a great first experience with a sitter/ walker, and would definitely recommend Tommy for anyone needing his services. We look forward to booking him more regularly!”
“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”
“Nigel and Ruby are the absolute best when it comes to taking exceptional care of my babies! I know that when they have my littles I don't have to worry about a thing. Honestly, I wish I would have found these guys sooner!”
About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.
“Rebecca has been great with Otto. She is timely and considerate of Otto’s unique needs and preferences. Happy to have found her on rover and hoping to have her as our dog walker long term. Thanks Rebecca!”
“I am so fortunate to have met Sequoia! My dog absolutely loves her. Not only does my very energetic and young dog get lots of good walks, Sequoia has incorporated tidbits of training during the time she spends with her. This makes for a happier dog, no doubt. Thanks Sequoia!”
About: **Please note that I am only boarding dogs that are friendly with cats at this time** I've been called a dog whisperer on more than one occasion... Ever since I was a child (look through my photos for me as a kid hanging out with my pets!), I've always been around animals. I currently live with a Goldador, Sage, and a kitty, Roo, and have been pet sitting for many years and active on Rover for eight years. I have a flexible schedule and mainly work from home, which means I have time to do walks and exercise before work, during lunch, and/or after work every day. If you are interested in a timeframe that my calendar says I'm unavailable, please still reach out. I may be able to move some things around to make it work! I own a house with a great backyard for dogs. Check out the end of my photos for details. I never leave the pups outside when I’m not home, and Sage and I like to keep a consistent schedule so that she knows when food, exercise, and downtime happen.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 35 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I've shared my life with beloved pets, cared for neighborhood animal friends, and welcomed animals into my home. After losing our family dog a couple of years ago, I've found so much joy in sharing that love with other animals. Every animal has its own personality, quirks, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. I'm also a registered nurse with 20 years of experience, which has made me patient, observant, compassionate, and attentive to the little details. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for a beloved family member. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I care for animals the way I would want someone to care for my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet won't be spending long stretches feeling lonely! My husband of 26 years is also a huge animal lover, so there's no shortage of love, cuddles, and attention in our home. Caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy, and we love making them part of our daily lives. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. My husband and I are both lifelong animal lovers, and your furry family member will receive double the cuddles and attention! I'm also happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. For these visits, my husband would accompany me, with your permission, so your pets can enjoy some extra love and companionship. We respect your home, your pet's routines, and any special instructions you provide. With my 20 years of nursing experience, I bring an extra level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to caring for animals. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority.
About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
About: I've been around animals my whole life, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, turtles, and birds growing up, and now goats, chickens, and a cat of my own. My sister, an animal behaviorist, taught me to communicate with animals through trust rather than dominance-based methods. I treat every pet like family, so you can relax knowing yours is loved, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away." As a freelance video editor, I work from home full-time, which means I'm around throughout the day to check in, play, and give walks, not just squeezed in before or after work. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust for feeding times, potty breaks, or any specific routine your pet needs. I work from home, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, I'm just a room away most of the day. I treat every home and pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own, keeping to their normal routine and environment as closely as possible.
“Seth was incredibly patient with my anxious pup who gets stressed around new people. He clearly has a strong understanding of working with dogs and he developed a lot of trust with my dog in a short period of time. His daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. He even did some training with my pup as a way to build trust and confidence in her. We can’t wait to hire Seth again!”
“Catherine agreed to help me super last minute and did an amazing job with my dog Dino! She left incredible overviews of their walk together that assured me he was in good hands. She was super communicative all around and a joy to interact with! Would happily book again. Thanks Catherine!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits I’ve always truly loved animals and spending time with them, taking care of them, giving them all the love and attention they need/deserve. Mainly throughout the years I’ve taken care of cats and I have dogsitting experience with pets owned by friends and family for about a few years. I love cats a lot and I end up having a special bond with every one I meet. I love dogs too, I believe every dog has a kindred spirit whether outgoing or reserved I try my best to treat them with respect and lots of love. I’m always happy to care for them especially since it’s fun to go on walks, have playtime with them. I will try my best to make sure every pet feels safe, content and happy with me I am looking forward to applying to a veterinary school program so I can one day be a veterinary technician but as of currently I am unemployed and looking for a job that will be fulfilling for me in every way. I am taking a gap year aswell to figure out my schedule for whenever I do get a job. In the meantime I spend my days relaxing at home reading or doing garden work I’d like to say I’m an observant person and very caring aswell, I tend to check in a lot even if it’s not needed and keeping track of when pets need to be let out, feed, given medication, any of the sorts im right on time. I also give pets time to adjust to me before jumping into touching them, I like to let them come to me first to make them feel comfortable if they are shy. If they are messy i don’t mind cleaning up a mess/cleaning up poop/pee. I also love to take lots pictures of pets for the people that book with me to ensure their pet is happy and in good hands
About: I have cared for my own pets (cats and dogs) my entire life as well as neighbors pets (cats, dogs, and lizards) for the past 5 years. I am comfortable walking large dogs and caring for elderly pets. I have experience with both. I am a part-time Preschool Teacher with plenty of time to check in on your animals for treats, pets, walks, etc. and will be available for full time house-sitting during the summer months. I have a reactive large dog and therefore unable to offer services in my own home but I am happy to come to yours anytime.
About: Animals have always been my first love! I grew up in a house with a minimum of 2 big dogs at all times and now have my own golden retriever and pitbull/heeler shelter mix. I’ve volunteered with dogs at the Humane Society, rescued farm animals at a variety of animal sanctuaries, and love animals enough to have gotten a degree in Animal Law. I promise to care for your pets with the same love and kindness I do my own. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so am happy to pop in and check on your pet or get them out for a walk during the work day. Safety and trust are truly the most important things to me. I’ve used Rover before to find care for my dog and know how scary it can be to trust someone with someone as important as your pet. I’m extremely committed to listening to you and your pet’s needs, asking any follow up questions needed, and communicating with you throughout the whole process.
About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with
About: I have 45 years of dog care experience - helped raising a dozen litters of puppies, older dog care, training, grooming, nail clipping, exercising, etc. Mostly at home with the pets. There is always someone in the house if I am running errands. I am able to let out dogs in the fenced in yard often throughout the day. Extra Large fenced in back yard - 1/4 acre - for dogs to run around in and throw balls far for a game of fetch! A smaller fenced front yard for night-time potty breaks.
About: I've had pets growing up my whole life to play with, feed, bathe, walk, and ultimately love. I have also cared for other people's pets while they were out on vacation or just couldn't get home to do a feeding or walk. Whether it's just a handful instructions or having a full packet of instructions given to follow (true story!) I am able to support and care for pets. They're important and their needs are equally as important as ours and I appreciate being able to support. I work full-time remote so rest assured your fur babies will have someone around during the day! Aside from possible errands or going to the gym I should be able to be with your pet a good amount of time! I like to make sure and confirm that I understand the instructions a pet owner leaves for me. I also, if possible, like to meet the pets beforehand so that they get an opportunity to be around me at least once. I also like to communicate well with owners to send updates, and pictures to owners to provide proof of the care and the comfort of the pet. I am not shy to ask questions to clarify and also to ask for feedback if I can improve in anything or support further.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukie
Tommy is an amazing dog walker. Really great with my pup Basil and super reliable. Always helpful when we have changes to our normal schedule and super responsive. Couldn’t recommend Tommy enough. If you are looking for a pet care in the Sellwood area look no further, this is your guy.
Tanja has been quick to reply to inquiries, clear with communication, reliable, and prompt for walks with Henry. She’s the obvious choice when I need help! And I think Henry approves, too - he’s always excited to see Tanja and comes home happy after every outing with her.
Shannon is soo wonderful! You can tell she truly loves animals. My dog is a rescue and can be slow to warm up to new people but she loved Shannon immediately. It is really reassuring when I work long days to know someone who truly cares about and deeply loves animals is checking on my dog. She also is very knowledgeable about animals and goes out of her way to meet their needs. I am so thankful to have found her. I strongly recommend her!
Phoenix has a depth of knowledge I’ve yet to see in any other pet handler, such as breed-specific needs, training methodology, and difficult-to-spot signs of concern. I trust nobody as much as her to care for my animals as if they were her own, and cannot recommend anybody highly enough. Will always come back to her, fantastic job.
For the last 1.5 years, Sequoia has been adding joy to my dog’s life with all her adventurous walks. Not only does Sequoia send me updates about how my dog (Laika) did that day, she also adds little but important details about their walk together! This lets me imagine what a great time Laika had on her walk. A happy dog makes for a very happy dog-mom, and I don’t feel quite as guilty while at work. Thanks, Sequoia, for being so wonderful! We appreciate all you do.
10/10 Colby is the best! He's extremely reliable, trustworthy, and is the sweetest to our pup, Heidi! She absolutely LOVES when Colby comes over for walks and is sad when he leaves, which is actually the greatest praise ever :D And we have dozens more walks planned ahead already. We highly recommend him for your pup care and walks!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Milwaukie is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,341 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Milwaukie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Milwaukie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Milwaukie after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milwaukie. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
