“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”
“Kendall was super responsive and helped watch Jasper and house sit with short notice. He is a bit shy but Kendall was sensitive to his needs. Thanks for taking care of my sweet little guy!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my dog, cat, and bunnies. She stayed at my house for a week and it looked as clean as it did when I left. I enjoyed her daily updates and appreciated when she reached out with a very good question. I highly recommend Stephanie for your animal care and home sitting needs.”
“Lily was great! Professional communication, gave us an update and photo while we gone, and left our home tidy. I would definitely recommend and plan to book her service again.”
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
“Emma did a great dog with our dog while we were away! Made sure she got outside and our fur baby was surprisingly calm when we arrived back home. It stormed and she even rescued my windchime and picked the over abundance of veggies that ripened while we were gone!”
About: I have been taking care of fur babies for 12 years. I have sat for friends and family. I have grown up around cats and dogs. I love seeing their own little personalities and quirks! I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available on week days as well as the weekends. My shift is usually only five hours. They are usually from 6:30am-11:30am or 11:30am-4:30pm. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I respect any boundaries the client might have. I require a meet and greet to make sure your pets feel comfortable with me and will always update and send photos of your fur babies.
“Bobbie was amazing- dedicated, thorough, and so great with the pets! I have a senior dog and two cats and she immediately put them at ease and sent lots of pictures and updates that reassured me that my babies were in good hands. I’m so grateful for her dedication and care- it’s never easy to be away from my pets, but it’s easier when I know that the person with them truly enjoys them, and Bobbie does. She has a gift, and we’re lucky to have found her!”
“Cindie was absolutely wonderful to work with and Bubbles LOVED her. She stayed in my home with him and it all worked out perfectly. She is a seasoned sitter, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing while away! Highly recommend Cindie!”
“Megan wonderfully with our older dog Fiona, she was very good with communicating with me when we were on our trip! We received pictures and videos so we could still see our old girl while we were away. When there was an issue she was quick to let us know and reassured us that Fiona was OK (my poor pup has a nervous belly).”
About: Hi! I'm currently a college student who's looking to have a decent side job while also dealing with missing her animals back home! I have eleven cats and four dogs back home, as well as three guinea pigs, a hermit crab and some exotic animals as well. My parents are the primary owners, but I am often the caretaker of all of our pets, especially when my parents are out of town! I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, small, big, and medium sized dogs and dogs of varying temperament. I am used to the varying temperament of cats, too! Since we have exotic animals, I'm also used to a handful of different routines and dealing with different feeding preferences and rules. I have experience with watching some pets of my family members as well, so it's not just limited to my immediate family! I'm currently a student full time at BGSU, but my classes generally get done around 12:20PM on Mon/Wed/Fri, around 2:30PM on Tuesdays, and around 10:30AM on Thursdays! I'm more than willing to stop by after my classes to check up on your pets, and I'm generally up around 6:30AM so there's no issue in morning routines. In my home, things are ran a bit different since we have so many different animals. My main focus at home is usually keeping the dogs out for periods of time, watching them and playing with them if they're willing to play along! Whatever your usual routine is at home is what I'll be willing to adjust to, since the comfort of your pet is my priority!
About: Since loosing my boy Copper I thought what better way to get that hole he left in my heart filled . I have lots of love to give if thats what your furry friend needs or lots of space if they prefer that to. My love for our fury friends runs very deep. & i have experience caring for them all! Im very active so there would be no worry on your pet missing a walk or play time. My husky was reactive on a leash so im always careful and hyper focused on my surroundings when on walks or doing anything outside with them. I have a small fenced in area of my yard that goes off my deck, an about an acre of unfenced for leashed strolls ,along with some wooded area that has a small loop around it perfect for sniffs! I also know of some secluded hiking spots for any reactive dogs that need longer walks and space from others. Saftey is most important to me, so im kind of a helicopter mom when it comes to any pet in my care! My husky was on severel medications for seizures and arthritis so I am used to scheduled medication as well. I have a giant garden and live a small homestead life. I am always home. & its important to me to stay with the pets while they are in my care! I have a small fenced in yard for them to relax in or go potty , along with a small wooded area with a loop for all the sniffs ! My area is safe and quiet as well.
About: I have cared for my own animals since I was 7 years old! I know how Important your furry family mean to you,so why not have someone that loves and cares for animals just as much! I have a 2 year old blue heeler mixed, pitbul, and 3 wonderful cats! So no dog or cat is nor big or small. I love them all the same as my own. I have decided to make sitting your pets my highest priority and have officially made pet sitting a full time job I am available anytime of the day! I am very confident with kenneling a dog as I have to with mine! Love to give lots of cuddles for those who may need that extra attention!
“Elisha did a great job during her stay with our dog Molly. She is a caring and calm person, which is ideal for this. She kept in touch about things, and I felt that she was in good hands with Elisha.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“Hi, Hamani did a really wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was gone. He was gentle. He was kind. My dog and him bonded immediately. He really knows how to communicate with my dog. My high-spirited dog calmed down around Hamani. I was so happy to see that. That made such a difference. I have learned so much about dog care by watching Hamani and my dog. I highly recommend Hamani. Sincerely, Ingrid”
About: I went to FCCC and had worked with dogs for as long as I can remember. I love animals and will take good care of your pets! I am currently not doing anything for work so I am free any week day and some weekends. I am on a travel softball team so some weekends I will be busy. I live in the country down a long lane so we don’t have a fence, we just let our dogs run free. They are pretty trained but if you are not comfortable with this I can put your dogs on a lease or just watch them at your house.

Jackie was everything we could have hoped for when leaving our beloved pet while we went on vacation. She is loving attentive and sensitive to our puppy’s needs. She sent us pictures and videos every day which is really appreciated. It was the first time we left her and we have already REBOOKED with Jackie!
This was Sarah‘s first time watching my 14 month old pitbull puppy who is a handful to say the least. Sarah kept me informed over the weekend and left my house immaculate. Super grateful I can go away and not worry about Gracie. Already have her scheduled for two other trips this year!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oregon is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oregon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oregon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oregon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oregon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oregon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
