“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!”
“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 💕”
“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.”

“Highly recommend Kristy! Booked for drop-in with less than a weeks notice & Kristy replied promptly and cheerfully. Professional, very kind, trustworthy and my pup absolutely adored her. He looked so happy in all her sweet photos. Was our first time with Kristy and we’re looking forward soon to our next booking!”

About: A long term pet sitter for multiple families, positive experiences caring for senior dogs, and always working with respect and love for the furry family members. I also have experience caring for different farm animals! I have wide ranges of availability to accommodate walking and feeding and play schedules, I work 5 days a week but always make time before during and/or after the work day to spend proper time! To me theres no such thing as too much communication when it comes to something this important, pet parents wont have to feel shy about voicing their requests and check ins!
“Ann is wonderful with my crew of 2 cats and a dog! Always reliable and has helped me out when my travel plans shifted due to a flight cancellation.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and farm animals since I was 10! I love all animals, especially dogs! I'm looking to fill my time by taking the best care of your fur babies. I drive an EV so I am an eco-friendly choice! I'm currently between jobs and am filling my time with something I love-caring for dogs! Available for drop ins and walks around the Milwaukie area. I have a small yard and deck that are fenced off. The house is a spacious ranch with no stairs once you are on the main floor.
“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!”
“Selena is beyond amazing!! She was willing to work with our French bulldog who is a little slow to warm up to people. Loved all the notes & photos we got while away for a weekend. Would very highly recommend!!”
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.
“Summer did an excellent job in making sure Chunk was happy and well cared for. Chunk can be shy with new people and she took it slow and made sure he knew she was there when he was ready! We would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and have spent years caring for neighborhood pups! I love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. Our days include walks, playtime, fun brain games, and plenty of love and attention. My own dog loves having friends over! She’s great at matching another dog’s energy—if they want to play, she’s all in, and if they’d rather relax, she’s perfectly happy to chill alongside them. My goal is to make your dog feel like part of the family while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I work from home most days, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day! I do head into the office for about two hours, twice a week, but otherwise I’m home and available for walks, playtime, and cuddles. We love getting outside for walks, trips to the river, and games of fetch! When we’re not out exploring, there’s always time for some relaxation and snuggles. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home and part of our little family! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I want you to feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have years of experience caring for neighborhood dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I do my best to make them feel right at home. My own dog is friendly and loves having visitors! She’s happy to play with dogs who want to play or simply relax with those who prefer a quieter environment. I always follow your dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing fetch, or cuddling on the couch, your pup will be treated like one of my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re having a great time!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukie
Sharon went above and beyond while pet sitting my dog and cat. My cat has some chronic conditions and I needed someone I could trust with his medications. Sharon took excellent care of them, communicated well, and left my house spotless. I highly recommend her!
We absolutely love Haley! She’s watched Joey several times now, and we always feel so comfortable knowing he’s in great hands. She’s reliable, communicative, and so sweet with him. Joey loves her, and we’re so grateful to have someone we trust to take such great care of him. Highly recommend!
Anna was absolutely wonderful with Toby! She came twice a day while we were away, fed him his wet food, and stayed for the full 30 minutes to keep him company. Toby meowed, and screamed at Anna pretty much the entire time. I can only assume he had many important things to tell her about the state of the household while we were gone. Despite Toby's extensive vocal complaints, Anna was incredibly patient, sweet, and attentive with him. Knowing she was spending actual time with him rather than just giving him food gave us so much peace of mind. Anna was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Toby. We came home to a happy, well cared for and still very opinionated cat. I would absolutely book Anna again and highly recommend her!
Sydney has been wonderful since my original reach-out. Promptly responsive, polite, and easy to work with. She has come over three times now to meet my anxious/nervous little fella and has been great with him! She is thoughtful and patient with him being a bit nervous, follows my guidance for success with my pups, and has helped to ease my anxieties with text check-ins and pictures. Because of her thoughtful interactions, I'm confident that my fella will be comfortable with her being part of his circle of trust. I'm so grateful for Sydney!
I can't recommend Wendy enough - she's a gem! My kitty is on the shy side but warmed up to her quickly. Wendy was caring and reliable and also kept me supplied with pictures of my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands, which meant I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation!
Charles was an exceptional dogsitter! I needed him last minute and he was very flexible as we figured out logistics. My dog warmed to Charles immediately. He was very caring and responsive to my anxious dog. Charles communicated with me throughout the stay and sent me photos. I would not hesitate to use Charles again and would highly recommend him!
Has a great rapport with our pooch even though our girl loves everyone they developed a special bond quickly. Very attentive to some of the health aspects that we as dog parents sometimes miss or take for granted, thanks you for the suggestions. We look forward to having you take care of our girl again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Milwaukie is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 6,549 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milwaukie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milwaukie. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
