“Rachelle was absolutely fabulous! Took Odie for walks and even took him to two different dog parks over the Weekend and sent lots of pics and updates plus I contacted her last minute she was flexible and quite frankly I was totally impressed with her handling of the dog and her 3&1/2 year old daughter was adorable with my dog as well. Highly recommend Rachelle”
“I couldn’t recommend Jamie more! Jamie watched our cats and dog while we traveled and it was one of the first times that my husband and I were able to actually relax and forget about our pets, rather than worry about them with a sitter! Jamie was communicative, punctual, and warm. He sent pictures and updates and I felt comfortable asking for any needs that popped up throughout our time away! Jamie will be the first person I contact for our future house sitting needs. Thank you so much Jamie- excited for you to see the babies again!”
“Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.”
“sydney was great! very thorough in making sure she had all the info needed to care for my dog. got a few updates and he seemed happy and well taken care of! i would definitely recommend her!”
“Exceptionally professional and our fur babies love her! She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away, sending lots of photos to keep us in the loop. And the house was spic and span when we got home. Love her!”
“Kyle is great. He followed through on our scheduling coordination. He sent lots of pictures while he was with our animals. Very kind and considerate. I’ll be using him again and soon too!!”
“Another top-notch homestay for my girls Hayley and Nadine. They both love Damita so much that my cat Nadine is considering setting up a gofundme campaign to send me on another trip again soon!”
“Philip is amazing with my two dogs. He is very attuned to there needs and he definitely leaves my pups in the same condition I left them. Highly recommended”
“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”
“Alyssa was amazing. She watched my boy for 3 nights and was great about sending me pictures and communicating any questions throughout her time with him. Will be using her again when we go out of town. Highly recommend.”
“Frank was wonderful for our senior dog and two cats during a full-weekend overnight stay. They were highly communicative before the visit and sent pictures we loved! Our dog got all the medicine and walks he needed. Our boys were in safe hands with Frank!”
“Amir has watched my pack three times now, and he does daily drop-ins when I am at work. He is awesome! Super attentive and very communicative. He goes above and beyond consistently; Like helping me battle the Little Black Ants that had invaded my kitchen. Seriously, he's the best. And I trust him implicitly. So do my three beasts!”
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.
“Sparkle Awesome! Day after we returned from a week away, took Willie to the local dog park and all the usual suspects were raving about Sparkle and the symbiotic trust they had. She also cared well for our home, cleaning linens, kitchen and house. Definitely trust and recommend her. She adapted to our change of return flight time and communicated multiple times daily about Willie and unexpected weather events. We are grateful for her care and love for our dog while we were away.”
“Heather was wonderful at pet sitting and house sitting during her two week stay at my house. She was very communicative and sent along the best photos. Thank you very much Heather!”
“Reagan was amazing with our puppy River! She is very flexible with scheduling and quickly adapted to River’s changing medical needs. She went above and beyond for our pup and I would highly recommend her services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oregon City
Mackenzie is a top-notch pet sitter. This is what she does to earn money and she takes it seriously. She took on a last-minute cat sit for us and even managed to squeeze in a meet-and-greet before we left. She asked great questions and has a lot of experience with senior cats and the medications that go along with them. More so, she made fast friends with our senior girl and showered her with love and gentleness. Our house was in order when we returned. Our cat was relaxed and happy. We will definitely call on Mackenzie again.
We are so happy to have found Ella. She is conscientious, asks questions, and took such good care of our pups and other animals. She also has great common sense when we forgot our groomer was coming to the house she contacted us right away and verified it was a true appointment. We are looking forward to having Ella housesit for us again in the future.
Megan was great. We have two under-5-yrs German Shepherd mixes with a lot of energy. Megan took the time to meet them and ensure everyone was comfortable. While we were gone on our 4 day trip, she sent pictures and updates every day. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Recommend!
Courtney did an amazing dog house sitting and watching my dog and cat. She gave me lots of updates and left my house in amazing condition. I'd recommend her services to anyone looking for peace of mind over an extended vacation. Thanks again Courtney I'll definitely be reaching out to you the next time I leave town.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Nate watch our dogs. Nate was very communicative from meet and greet to fulfilling watching our pups over the weekend. He was very willing to meet our needs and was warm and friendly. Nate is very down to earth. He meshed well with our pups, which put us at ease. Our pups were well cared for and he did a great job matching their energy levels (think little grandpa dog & horse sized dog). We would most definitely use Nate’s services again as well as highly recommended others book with Nate for care they can be confident in.
Rebecca is so kind and loving. Our animals were all so spoiled and loved while we were gone. We greatly appreciated receiving updates and cute pictures of our pets. Rebecca has an excellent communication style, and was a pleasure to have stay in our home with our pet family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oregon City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oregon City is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 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 4,561 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oregon City. 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
