“Jeff did a drop in visit for us so we could spend most of the day with our kiddos in Portland. He played with our dog and gave our dog and cat their dinners so we could relax and enjoy our day. All went great!”
“Ashley did a great job looking after my cats and had no trouble connecting with one of them that is very shy and easily scared by other strangers. She kept me updated at each visit too, which was appreciated.”
“Gabriella took wonderful care of our kitties! We knew they were in great hands with her specialized knowledge and attention to their needs. Certainly hope to rebook with her again in future!”
“Lindsay did a great job of doing drop in visits for our cats while we were away for 4 days! She was communicative and went above and beyond with updates and making sure everything was okay when we were away.”
“Alyssa was wonderfully attentive for the drop-in visits we scheduled to take care of our two cats. All of the instructions were followed precisely and she provided all the photos I requested (worried for a cat who doesn't eat well when we're not at home). She also provided great notes with context of what she observed during her visits. We met for a meet & greet at the house and to go over the care routine, and we were impressed with her pleasant and calm energy which is a must for any caretaker of our anxious cats. She provided not just the requested service but also peace of mind. Thank you Alyssa, we'll definitely be looking to book with you again!! 🙏😸”
“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”
“Jamie was amazing with our two boys! She was so attentive to our dog and took him on a good walk when we went out for the night. As nervous as he can get with strangers, he seemed bouncy and happy to get some love from Jamie. She also took great care of our cat during her check in, which she went the extra mile to do considering she was only there for our pup. Thank you so much Jamie, we can’t wait to have you back!! 😁”
“Kaitlin was an awesome petsitter for my kitty Dwayne! She gave me updates throughout the sitting and was very conscientious. I felt at ease while being away with her care of my kitty.”
“Emily is so great with our dogs and was recently so patient with us too when we made her life harder by misplacing the hidden key! She went and picked up another key from a friend and was able to care for our dogs. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more grateful!!”
“Nilanjana did a great job looking after our two cats. She was reliable, sent us updates, and the cats were happy and well cared for when we got home. This was our first time using Rover and would definitely book again.”
“I booked George for an upcoming pet-sitting appointment but I needed to check if Dobie would let him in when I wasn't there. (The meet-and-greet went fine.) George came at the appointed time when I was gone and let Dobie out into the yard and took a couple of pictures and showed that everything went well. He let me know when he started the drop-in and when he finished.”
About: I have been caring for animals in some capacity for as long as I can remember! Aside from my personal animals, I have provided pet care for friends & family, worked as a veterinary assistant, and am currently a second year veterinary student at the OSU CCVM. One of my beliefs is that each animal has a unique set of needs, both mental & physical, and as such I strive to adjust my approach to meet their individual needs to the best of my ability. I am a Fear Free certified professional. I am currently in school which runs approximately 8am to 4pm with an hour lunch break at noon. I will be able to offer one potty break throughout the day but can spend ample time with them during the evenings. At this time my services can only be offered where the pet resides. I am open to staying overnight, performing a few daily check-ins, or whatever will make the pet the most comfortable in your absence.
“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Philomath
We had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She is kind, flexible, reliable, and took exceptional care of our cat while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was in such loving. She kept us updated and treated our pet as if it were her own. I highly recommend her!!!
Allison did a great job with the twice-daily drop-in visits for my cat, while I was away for four days. She followed the instructions I left and sent texts at the start and end of each visit. She also sent photos for every drop-in and replied to my texts promptly. She was reliable, consistent and trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her on my home and caring for my cat, and I’ll hire her for my next trip without hesitation.

Jamie was so awesome. Our cat has chronic asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day, which makes it hard to travel. She was super accommodating with her schedule when our flights were changed. Our cat did have an asthma attack when she was checking up on him at one point, and she stopped back a few hours later just to check on him and make sure he was ok. Totally not necessary but so nice of her to do. She was also very communicative, letting me know how he was doing everyday and sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely have Jamie back again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Philomath on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Philomath. 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 Philomath 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 Philomath. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
