“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.”

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!
“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.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Summer checking in and visiting my young and shy kitty Casper! She was always on time or early, and her communication was and is excellent. She sent updates with pictures and videos, and I had total peace of mind knowing Casper was in good hands while I was away. She is so wonderful, she brought little gifts and treats for Casper! I trust and recommend Summer, and I would definitely book her again in the future! 🫶🏼”
“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.”
“Lucinda is the best of the best! My kitty immediately fell in love with her. We will absolutely be checking her availability first before anyone else. Thank you so much for your care and attention. She really is as great as everyone says!”
“Wonderful! Corinne took great care of our cats while we were away. She even cleaned up an ant invasion around their food that I missed before we left. I wouldn’t hesitate about asking her again.”
“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: Hi! My name is Melissa, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently have three cats of my own who are a big part of our family, and I previously cared for two beloved dogs for many years before I lost them to old age. Through my own pets, I've gained hands on experience with feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. In addition to cats and dogs, I also have experience caring for hamsters and reptiles, so I'm comfortable looking after a variety of pets and following detailed care instructions. As a stay at home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. I'll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs drop in visits, playtime, feeding, walks, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to help and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a full time stay at home parent so my availability is pretty open to check up on your fur babies. I am available anytime after 8am Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, litter box cleaning, and any special care they may need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. I believe in creating a calm, low stress environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just as they would with their own family.
“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!”
“Stayed extra long to make friends with my nervous orange tabby! Went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Even had to play an impromptu game of hide and seek with him when he was hidden away. Truly appreciate how Karly really cared about my sensitive baby, Chonky. And jumped in when other care from a friend fell through. Thank you! Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kathy went above and beyond to care for Saydee. We’re so grateful and 100% would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for attentive care for their pet. Saydee enjoyed a very comfortable stay at her house and we were worry-free knowing that she was really well looked after.”
“This was the 2nd time Suzie pet sitter our pups. She always does a great job communicating and gives me a piece of mind knowing she’s reliable and the pups like her company.”
About: Since I’ve been old enough to remember, I’ve been around animals. I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they were out of town or busy. I can do a multitude of tasks from bathing to walking! I work 7-3 daily, which leaves me plenty of time each day to play with your pets! I love walking- I even walk my dog two miles every morning! There is always time in my schedule to play with pups! I live in Milwaukie so I can easily access most of the Portland area! While caring for your pet, I will ensure I keep a close eye on them while they are outside. I love going on walks and being outside. So, most likely we will catch me and your fur baby anywhere but under a roof!
About: Pets have been an important part of my life since I was a young child. There is nothing more important to me than making sure pets and all animals are given kindness, consideration, and everything they need to feel safe and well. I am a small business owner with a flexible schedule. I love animals and it is my priority to make sure pets in my care get exactly what they need to feel safe, happy and well while their family is away. I will provide for the animals entrusted to me as if they were my own. You can leave knowing your pets will be treated with much love and care.

Kristen is a wonderful cat sitter!! We have an outgoing cat and a shy cat, and she quickly earned both their trust! It always nerve-wracking having to find new trustworthy pet sitters when you move somewhere new…. But, Kristen is so capable, professional, communicative, and kind - we knew our kitties were in great hands! So so so glad we’ve found her :)
Gera deamlessly stepped into our medical routine for our geriatric cat. She was very communicative, reached out with clarifications in places our instructions weren't explicit since she knew how delicate our cat's health can be. We really appreciated her diligence and care of our high needs cat.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,565 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Milwaukie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Milwaukie. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
