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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Erika is a godsend. My cat loves Erika’s visits while I’m away. Not only do I always come home to a very happy, well fed, and content kitty, Erika takes care of the little things that make it easier to be away from home.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Charles was attentive and thorough in his updates. He always makes sure to give the cats love and care. He sends pictures and lets me know ahead of time when to expect the cats to be taken care of. I can tell my 2 cat love him. I highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and have had the privilege of working with both large and small dog breeds, cats of many shapes and sizes, and even horses and birds. 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 have experience with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, lap cats, anxious pets— no matter what their story is, I believe 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 am a full-time student in a medical program so most of my “work days” are shorter days. My main focus on weekends is schoolwork, which means I have plenty of reason to stay in and hang out with the pets. 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! ** Important note: my class days (Mon-Weds) require me to spend ~5 hours on campus and 8 hours on clinical days (Thurs/Fri) during the term. Because of this, I will have to leave for hours at a time during the week. On those days it’s important to consider if your pets are okay being alone for that long, or if additional help can be recruited to check up on them. I’m happy to provide a copy of my schedule so we are on the same page for the times that I will be away for school. 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; anything 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!
“Grace was great! Fantastic communicator. Our cat loved her. The place looks and smells great after being away for a week. Would book Grace again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“You could feel their kindness upon meeting them, & our very selective bengal honored them with a head boop right away! Megan allowed us to have peace of mind after a very stressful morning, & honestly we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much!”
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.
About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I’ve been well versed in the love and patience of caring for animals. My entire life, I’ve loved animals of all kinds, taking care of neighborhood and friends dogs and cats, especially my own dog’s best friends. I’m happy to help with various animal care, with an extremely flexible schedule that will meet the day to day needs of each unique customers schedule. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!! I am currently unemployed, having just moved back to the Portland area. I’m excited about integrating pet care into my adjustment back to the Portland lifestyle, with anything from dog walks to pet sitting in new areas of town. I have an incredibly flexible schedule that will meet the needs of individuals and families to ensure your furry friend is well taken care of. 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.
About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
“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 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.”
“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!”

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!
Sydney was absolutely wonderful! As a new cat mom and a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous about leaving my two ragdoll one year old boys, but Sydney immediately put me at ease. I really appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet beforehand, and it was clear right away how genuinely she loves and understands animals. While I was away, her updates made me feel completely comfortable knowing the cats were in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, spent time playing with them, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. I loved getting her updates and seeing how well they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. I highly recommend Sydney and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Gera has watched Oreo twice and has been wonderful both times! She is very communicative and professional and went above and beyond to take care of Oreo while he had some tummy issues. She does a great job making sure our high energy pup is well exercised. We always come home to a happy and healthy dog!
Kathy is always very communicative and reliable! Takes great care of our kitties and pays attention to detail, even doing extra things like opening windows for them when it’s getting hot out. We feel great knowing the cats are in her hands while we are away!
Kay was so awesome and I would definitely have her watch Hugo again. She was very flexible with my last minute booking and gained Hugo’s trust quickly even though he is not a fan of new people. Kay’s notes were thorough and I felt really good knowing everything Hugo had done during her stay. 10/10 Would book again. Thanks Kay!
Catherine is fantastic! She’s watched our dog Harley twice now. Harley is leash reactive, and we feel totally confident with her walking Harley. Sends pics, prompt, extremely responsive, and she even let Harley out after she’d left because our flight was delayed. Will book again!!
Veronica was wonderful. She was able to check on my dog for a last minute visit during a stressful situation. She took excellent care of him and my other dog, and went above and beyond what I booked her for. She was fast, communicative, and genuinely cared about my pets!
Hannah was able to help me out with a last minute request to feed and care for my two cats. She collected my mail and packages while I was gone, and took great care of my kitties. Her check-in photos were great, and I was able to relax during my trip knowing that she was minding the kitties while I was traveling. Thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Milwaukie on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 September 2026, there are 6,596 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.
