“Paige is AMAZING and made Mickey and Ivy feel so comfortable - I don't know if they're going to want us to come back 😅 They're normally pretty skittish cats but Paige was patient with them and gained their trust. Cannot recommend Paige more!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as dogs and cats for friends and family. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or overnight care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away and keeps your pet happy in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a Senior IT Manager that works remotely Monday-Friday, I have incredible flexibility. I simply need reliable internet to work anywhere in the United States. I have experience caring for dogs that have full free range of the house and all furniture to those who have specific boundaries that need to be followed. I’m very comfortable abiding by all house rules within any setting. This loosely applies to cats who often only abide by their own rules! Haha

About: I've had many dogs of my own over the years. Different sizes and different breeds, they all had their own personality. I'm always happiest if a dog is in the room. I have been working as a professional pet sitter the past few years. It has been one of my most rewarding jobs. I have cared for many dogs and cats, all with their own personalities and needs. I also have experience with birds and reptiles. We currently have a Green cheek conure and a Bearded Dragon in our home. Let me know your pet's needs and we will figure out a plan from there. Melissa I offer drop in visits at your home only at this time. I am very flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Let me know what you need. I have taken care of many animals in the comfort of their own home. It has worked well for animals that feel best staying home when you are traveling.
“I had a great experience with Kayley doing drop in visits with my cats while I was out of town. She was very responsive with great communication, helped with not only cat tasks but also household things like the garden, and was great about sending updates and photos! I will plan to work with her again and had no complaints!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe, comfortable place to stay. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're traveling, working long hours, or simply need someone you can trust, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a stress-free, home-like environment where your furry family member feels loved, secure, and right at home while you're away. I work at an elementary school just blocks away from my house (new job). It is an 8-3 job and I can come home in the middle of the day for a potty break. I have always enjoyed opening our house up to fury visitors. We (my 14 year old) and I enjoy the company. I have a fully fenced yard that is about 7500 sf, lots of room to run around and play. I do have a couple fences that are shorter (3.5'/4'). I have pictures of our sweet Blanche, we lost her late last year and currently do not have any pets in the house. We do have chickens but they will remain in the coop.
About: I've had pets most of my life and I consider them as family. My clients have said that I'm the dog Whisperer.I develop a strong bond with the pets I take care and they all love me. I can administer meds and I can do brushing, feeding, fetching, walking, bathing of animals if necessary and lots of tlc. I haven't found an animal that I haven't loved. I do have transportation to take them to parks and other places that they need to go to. My clients all say that I have truly made a very large difference in their pets lives as well as their own. I also do basice training of dogs. Several of my clients have given me keys to their homes. I'm retired and my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm open to walking dogs twice a day if the owner wants me to that. I can also do last minute requests also. I have a cat and he has a very easy life living with me. I take care of dogs and cats that I walk or house sit with like they are part of my family. I treat them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
“Heather was amazing with our cats, playing with them, making sure they were fed, watered, and had a clean litter box. She sent daily emails with tons of pictures. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their little personality. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away, whether that means lots of playtime and attention or simply keeping them company and giving them their space. I always follow their usual routine and make sure they have a clean and comfortable environment. I also love keeping owners updated and sending plenty of pictures, so you can still see what your pet is up to and know they’re happy and being well taken care of while you’re away. I currently work from home, so I have pretty open availability throughout the week and can be flexible with your pet’s schedule. Being home also gives me plenty of time to give them attention, check in on them throughout the day, and keep up with their normal routine. I know every cat is different, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and a safe and comfortable space. I’m also careful with doors and windows, especially with cats who like to sneak outside. I’ll always respect your home and keep you updated while you’re away.
About: For 15 years I have been pet sitting family, friends, and co-workers pet while they were out of town, needed someone to stop it, or to stay for a week during the holidays. I am a dedicated pet owner who wants all animals to receive love while I'm in there space. I offer walking and ride services for your pet. Send me a message I would love to meet you and your furry friends! I also provide other services for your pets send me a message!

“Asher was so great to work with. Key highlights include her communication, her report cards of each visit, cute photos she captured of Louie, and her kindness & flexibility. I will definitely use her cat sitting services again!”
“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: We have owned 4 dogs from puppies to rescue dogs! I have taken classes for pet training with them! I have45 years of pet owning experience! Our pet sitting style is creating a “home away from home” experience. We sleep with and allow your pet on the furniture if allowed in your home. I am retired and very active! I am available to walk and care for your pet 24/7, 7 days a week. My husband and I LOVE DOGS! I walk 5+ miles a day! Our home is your pets home, allowed to sleep on bed and sofa if they choose. We live next door to 3 parks and I can walk any distance up to 5 miles!
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have spent half my life caring for them! I've been lucky to have all my living situations infused with pets - usually dogs. I always act as part-time carer. Walks, hanging out, feeding? Easy. Sneaking medicine in treats? I've had to trick a couple of dogs in my time. The messy bits - poop, vomit...I am unphased. I currently live with the sweetest diabetic doggy - I am a deft hand at giving shots. I've watched a number of dogs while owners are out of town - whatever their needs, sun-up to sun-down, I've been there and am excited to be there again. I've also spent my share of time with cats and enjoy their (usual) independence. I'm happy to help cats out too! I'm currently trying to carve out a remote life; I'm either at home or a coffee shop. My schedule is very open, very flexible and I'm very available to care for some wonderful pets! A lovely apartment with plenty of nice walks and parks nearby. I stay with a friend and her two little ones are a little older, but very chill.
“Olivia was a fantastic and very appreciated resource to watch my cat Otto during a recent multi-day drop in visit that was needed. She provided lots of attention and love to Otto giving everything I wished for him while I was gone including lots of playtime, feeding supplements, sharing pictures and all the cuddles. I hope to absolutely use her again for the next time I will be out of town and need someone to drop-in.”
About: Please read my entire profile before sending me a booking request - Thank you! Quick note for dog owners: I work part-time retail shifts of up to 8 hours, so I can only accommodate dogs that are comfortable being alone for 6 hours or more. If your dog needs more frequent check-ins due to anxiety, age, or health needs, please inquire about my constant care service (starting at $150/night) before sending a request. If you're unsure whether your dog qualifies, feel free to message me! Providing pets with specialized individual care and love has been a big part of my life. I grew up with two German Shepards and spent much of my childhood caring for them as part of my daily chores. In middle school, I started volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society as a volunteer requirement, and I consider the time I spent walking dogs, cleaning cat rooms, and socializing with small animals a really valuable experience. Volunteering at OHS at a young age taught me the value and importance of creating safe and welcoming spaces for pets so that they feel loved and cherished. I have always loved dogs and cats, but I also have experience in caring for small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, rats/mice), chickens, goats and horses. So if you have one of these more unconventional pets, I would be happy to discuss my rates and plans for their care. The most important thing to me in providing care is making sure that both the pet and owner feel completely comfortable during the service, which begins even before I met your pet for the first time. I do my best to respond quickly to each and every request within a few minutes (I am most available from 10am to 10pm), but any requests sent outside of that time frame may be slower to receive a response. During house sits and drop-in visits, I will stay in regular communication with texts and photo updates. During walks and drop-in visits, I utilize Rover cards which will let you know information about the walk/visit, and I am always available on my Rover number during any service booking. Every pet is unique, and I will do everything I can to make sure that they are given the best care while under my care. Our pets are our furry children and deserve to have individualized care that fits their needs and makes them happy. I am excited to have the opportunity to provide your pet(s) with the care that they deserve, and I look forward to working with you to do that. Last updated 8/14/26 I am a part-time student at PCC taking classes online this summer. I also work retail, and I am currently scheduled 4-6 days per week between 10am–7pm, with shifts up to 8hrs. Lastly, I volunteer in the OHSU Trauma unit on Sundays from 5-9pm, so if your pet has a nightly routine (such as a feeding time) that interferes with this, I may need to adjust my volunteer schedule or I’ll ask you if we can adjust their schedule. I prefer to take care of pets that can be alone for 6 hours or more since that is what fits best with my current schedule. However, if your pet cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours, please inquire about my constant care service for house-sitting. “Constant care” can be defined differently by each sitter, but for my services, constant care refers to pets who need check-ins at least every 4 hours due to health concerns (ie, anxiety, medication), age-related needs (ie, incontinence), or other special requirements. My base constant care house-sitting rates start at $150 per night for a single dog, and $90 per night for a single cat. Rates may vary depending on your pet’s specific care needs. If your pet requires constant care, I may also need to take time off work to provide the necessary supervision, which will increase the overall cost. During the summer, my general availability for constant care is Monday thru Sunday. If you have questions about the constant care service or pricing, please include them when you first inquire. Please note: Due to my current work schedule, I am unable to accommodate pets that are unable to be left alone for at least 4 hours UNLESS you book my constant care service. If you do not want to book constant care, I recommend seeking a boarding service or another provider who specializes in higher-need care. Last updated: 8/7/26 Before accepting any care requests, I like to arrange a meet and greet to get to know you and your pet's needs and personality. All pets are cared for as if they were my own, and I will return them to your care, happier and healthier than when they were first turned over into my care. If you have any concerns, I am always available through my Rover number through text or call to answer any questions. I would like to know the following if you book my house-sitting services: Do you have any cameras inside or outside of the home? Will they need to be on at all times? Are you willing to turn any inside cameras off while I am in your home for the duration of the stay? What am I allowed to use or access while I am staying in your home? Is there anything that I cannot use or access while I am staying in your home? Are there any housekeeping chores you would like me to do while I am staying in your home? (vacuuming, mail/package collection, indoor plant watering, etc) Is there anything else about your home that would be important for me to know? (wifi password, code/key for house entry, etc) Last updated 4/4/26

“Brayden is a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. We have had two great training sessions together. We unfortunately have had to cancel our plans for travel, but we are confident our pets will be in excellent hands if we are needing help in the future! I recommend Brayden wholeheartedly”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
We booked Kristen on short notice after our sitter canceled on us. Oliver (our cat) is diabetic, so that comes with some additional responsibilities for a cat sitter. Kristen was so communicative and on top of everything for care. She asked questions to make sure she understood what to do. She also sent so many pictures and gave Oliver lots of cuddles. Highly recommend due to her friendly demeanor, reliability, and responsiveness!
Our pups are always so excited to see their sitters! And they roll with the sheer volume of happy that comes with giant breed dogs. Caring and dog savvy, highly recommend. Fast and clear communication. Flexible and receptive to scheduling changes and a great sense of humor makes it fun to navigate the challenges of traveling and being confident our pets are in capable caring hands
Shelby was so great! My previous pet care fell through last minute and Shelby was very responsive and came to do a meet-and-greet with my senior kitty Aries. Shelby was very professional and took amazing care of my shy and timid kitty, could not recommend her more!
Roger and his family took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone. They are trustworthy, reliable, friendly and a very caring family. They took daily pictures and videos and they were very observant as to describing our kitty's behavior and idiosyncrasies. We are so happy to have found them. I would highly recommend them.
We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Deborah! This was our first big trip since one of our cats went through some serious health scares this year, so we were anxious about leaving them for this extended trip. After meeting Deborah though, it became clear that she is such a thoughtful, caring cat sitter and that we'd have nothing to worry about. The cats were immediately at ease with her, and she was so committed to understanding our cats' specific needs (including giving meds, tracking weight, and working with our vet tech to administer subcutaneous fluids). During the trip she sent us regular detailed updates and made sure to ask questions whenever any of the directions we left were unclear. We loved receiving so many wonderful photos and videos of the cats playing with Deborah - it allowed us to fully enjoy our time with family seeing how much love and care our kitties were getting over the holidays (especially our one cat that is typically so shy with new people!). Returning home, it's as if we never left. The kitties were so relaxed (clearly having received so much love and attention from Deborah) and the home was neat and tidy. Our medically challenged boy somehow had more energy than before we left! Whether you have young or senior kitties, and whether you need drop-in visits or long-term care, we can't recommend Deborah enough. She is truly a cat whisperer, and we are so grateful we found her! We will 100% be asking her for help again during any future travel. Thank you for everything Deborah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
