“This was my first time having Jeffrey watch my shy kitties. He came over beforehand to learn their routine and followed all my instructions with care. I really appreciated his communication and photos.”

“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.”

About: Hello. My name is Alli and I love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I’ve worked in shelters and house sat for various animals over the years. I can wash, walk, feed, run, or sit with your dog. I’m very intuitive and love to learn about the needs of each animal. I believe all animals are individuals and love to cater to their personalities and energy levels. If your dog needs attention constantly, I love to give attention! If your cat just likes having someone around for a bit, I’ll happily hang out. If your animal needs to run through a field to get out some energy, I’ll play chase with him/her! I am detail oriented and communication is very important. I have worked full time at a shelters, and also volunteer. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to drop by during lunch if needed! I’ve had a lot of training when it comes to animal care and handling. I am “Fear Free” Certified, I have completed ASPCA trainings, etc.
About: I’ve grown up with pets of all sizes and am not afraid to try new things. I strive to provide the best care possible for you and your pets. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday 8:30 AM to 5 PM in Salem but may be able to flex my hours if needed! I have weekends off and major holidays off as well. I currently have two guinea pigs that I provide constant care, enrichment and love for. I’m very serious about cleanliness and the safety of pets and those around the pets as well.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities! I have personally helped with feeding, potty breaks, bathing, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention! More recently, I have helped care for an energetic Australian Shepherd and a senior Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, adapting my care to each dog's individual needs and personality. I make sure all types of dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the week depending on my classes and other commitments. I’m usually more flexible for dog walks, especially around my class schedule, and I love having the opportunity to get outside and spend time with dogs! I have more limited availability for longer house sits and check-ins during the week, but I’m happy to work with owners in advance to find times that fit both of our schedules. I do not currently offer pet care services in my own home. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, where they are already familiar with their surroundings and feel safest and most comfortable. I will follow each pet's usual routine and their owner's instructions closely, while providing plenty of supervision. I want every pet and their owner to feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Brandy is awesome! She is very communicative, sends pictures, and even cleaned up after my kittens’ messes when they were digging in my plants. She is my go-to sitter!”

“Holly was amazing! The cats warmed up to her so fast. They loved playing their favorite stick-and-string game with her during the drop-in visits. Holly’s communication before and during the cat-sitting was clear and supplemented with photos. Such cute photos! It's a relief knowing our cats are being checked on by someone we trust while we are out of town. She's my first choice cat sitter from now on! 🐾🐈”

“Makana was able to book a last minute request and fit in a meet and greet which was really appreciated. She did a great job of keeping me updated and sending pictures. I could tell that my pup was having a good time!”
About: I have been caring for my friends and neighbors pets since middle school. I have also had experience volunteering at the Humane Society in both the dogs and cat departments. I also have experience with blind pets if needed. I am a full time student at George Fox University! I am available any time Tuesdays and Saturdays. As well as Monday through Sunday Evenings. I will always ensure, no matter the setting, your animals will always be protected and safe. This means your animal will never be put into an area unsafe or where something could happen.
About: I've lived with my dog, Avery, for about 10 years back home, have cared for family friends' dogs when needed, have participated in fetch-a-friend multiple times with Heartland Humane Shelter, and I am very comfortable around cats as well. I can provide a very active few days running or walking for your pets, or I can keep them homely company while you are away. Since I have a car, if desired, I can take your pets to the park or just on short car rides. If your pets have any medications required, or specific eating/dosage times, I will make sure to set alarms to stay on time and dependable. My main job right now is DoorDash, so any time you need me to be available is free. My schedule can allow for week-long petcare, if needed, or just a short walk :3 I try my best to be friendly, understanding, and patient with any pets I interact with; if a pet is trying to tell me something, I will pay my best attention! Additionally, if a pet needs some space while adjusting to me or the lack of usual people around, I can provide that space while still keeping an eye on them.
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own for years that I’ve helped train and take care of alongside my family. I have also been paid for and asked to take care of my families dogs or other pets multiple times. I have had 3 cats as well, so I’m pretty well knowledgeable in both areas of care. Im working part time at the moment and have space between and after my classes to take care of whatever business and pet sitting necessary :) I am very patient and careful with dogs with knowing many temperaments are different and unique. I’ve dealt with bigger dogs so I’m not easily nervous around noisy dogs.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 6 years old, I have had experience pet sitting and entertaining animals. Neighbors have come to me for dog sitting in the past. I’m coming home from college on June 11th and don’t currently have anything lined up, so I am available to petsit anytime during this summer! I have a full family in the house so services would only be external. I have lots of experience taking care of dogs, walking them, feeding them, and entertaining them.
About: I've grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life and have lots of experience with training and pet care. I have experience with large medium and small breeds including, boxers, huskies, cane corso's, Pomeranian's, french bulldogs, bully breeds, and great pyrenees. I've cared for dogs from puppy to late adulthood, as well as adult rescues. I recently graduated from OSU and am looking to fill my free time. I'm available every day of the week with enough notice in advance. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have also used Rover for finding sitters for my own dogs, so I value trust and safety when concerning pets. Any specific care instructions for your pet, I am more than happy to oblige.
About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant! I have four years of clinical experience, which has allowed me to work with several different species including dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animal species! I understand basic health needs for each animal and love to give extra time and cuddles/ enrichment to your furry friends! I’m a full time Pre Veterinarian student who is looking for part time sitting opportunities! These smaller jobs work perfectly with my school schedule as I can offer care before my classes and after as well as on weekends. Additionally, I can also take on longer jobs! I may just need more time in advance to make sure our schedules align! I believe keeping your furry friend happy and healthy and safe is the highest priority! Depending on the species I can help with basic needs such as feeding, Medicating, walking, enrichment, Pedicures, tidying up their area, ect. Services I offer: -Drop ins -House sitting -Olfactory Walks
About: Hello dog owners! And maybe even a few cats. My name is Nolan, I'm a twenty five year old guy looking to fill the gap that is a home with no pets in it, alongside making a little money of course! There has been no point in my life up until now that I haven't had dogs actively in my life, from pitbulls and bulldogs, to golden retrievers and yellow labs. There is no dog too naughty and no dog too young or old in my mind. I have bottle fed puppies as well as carried the most senior dogs up and down stairs. The creatures hold a particularly sweet place in my heart and if you are in a lifestyle that makes your little buddy need some outside help, I hope you would consider me as your walker because I will treat every pup with the patience and love I believe they all deserve, and I prefer to walk an individual families pets more so than a whole herd because I know they all want some attention specific to them. Hope to hear from you and your pup soon! At the moment I am applying for some VA assistance having finished my time in the service. So my schedule is wide open, I wish to be able to use my time well, help others and their pets to make a little scratch while I reacclimate. I would be willing to do drop in visits, potentially stay overs after enough time if that service is requested, so that we may get to know one another. Person to person and to pet! Im a big believer in the value of enrichment play, and like to apply a mixture of walk/run, fetch, tug, and hide and seek games with toys and treats. Anything I can do to help a pets mind flex as much as its limbs. But the skies the limit when theres familiarity and comfort with an animal. Feel free to explain any of your needs and we will work on it together.
About: I have cared for dogs all my life and I love building personal connections with animals. I miss being around dogs since I lost my own, so I truly understand how special they are. I put my heart into every walk and drop-in, making sure each pet gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I am also a big mountain girl and would love to take your dog for a hike! I focus on creating a fun and safe environment, and I love sharing updates and pics with you so you can see how much joy they bring! I'm dedicated to providing the best care for your furry friend! My primary availability is Thursday through Saturday, but I'm also happy to fit in walks after 7 PM on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday’s!! Please contact me so we can find a time that works best for everyone. As a dedicated pet sitter and walker, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. During drop-ins and walks, I ensure your dog’s well-being by avoiding busy roads and keeping a close eye on your pet! I also prioritize building a strong bond through positive interactions and reinforcement. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I can ensure your pet will receive plenty of exercise and affection!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Philomath
Alexandra was absolutely fantastic. She was able to watch our cat on the shortest notice, was so communicative before the booking and sent detailed updates every day. We felt so confident our cat was in great hands. The best part is our cat clearly loved her!! She sent the cutest photos that made our day. Will definitely be booking Alexandra again next time we are away!
Allyson was such a great help dropping in to spend time with our doggies while we were away! She was very communicative, kind, and attentive. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy playing fetch with her and getting some extra attention and playtime. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Philomath is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $27 per visit. 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 723 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Philomath. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Philomath. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
