“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!”
“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!! 🙏😸”
“Mia was very attentive, thorough and detailed in her visits and her visit notes back to us. My cat has a lot of anxiety and she took care of him very well and made sure he was comfortable while we were away. Very nice. Would definitely rebook with her!”
“Responded quick and was able to sit when our original sitter fell through. Our dog had a tough time with us gone and she did her best to take care of her. Will definitely book again.”
About: Important info: for house-sitting, i bring my small senior dog with me to each booking, as long as you are comfortable, and we do an i initial meet and greet for your pets to be around him. For drop-in care, he does not need to be there. Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.
“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.”
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 house sat for many days at a time for a few different people both in and out of Corvallis. All of the family’s also had dogs that I watched, fed (including medications, special food etc), played with, and walked! I make sure to clean up after myself and the pets (including cleaning food bowls, picking up after them in the yard etc)I make sure to send pictures and keep in touch with family’s about both their pets and houses! I know how sad it is to leave your pets behind for a trip so I try and make it feel like you have them right there with you and you know they are getting the best care:). I have had multiple pets in the past including cats, dogs( of multiple sizes) and the occasional reptile! Currently I have two adorable female cats named Luna and Kitty. I am currently a student at phagens beauty collage Monday through Friday! I would have time all weekend Friday through Sunday to dog walk, house sit, check in on pets, etc. I would also have availability in the afternoons Monday through Friday anytime after seven pm to dog walk :). I am unable to offer care for pets in my home at the moment because I am in an apartment with a few other people however that will be changing soon! I have two cats so any pets that are nice with cats would be allowed! In other people homes (which I have the most experience in) I would be able to feed, water, play with, walk, groom, and clean up after dogs or cats!
About: As a veterinary student and pet lover, I have nearly a decade of professional pet care experience and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience working as an in-home pet sitter and as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. I’ve cared for animals of all kinds, but I especially love dogs and cats. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I feel comfortable caring for old and sick pets that may require extra patience or expertise. I would love to care for your dogs and cats at any stage of their life! I am typically in class from 8-12 and 1-5, but that leaves me time for early morning, mid-afternoon, or evening drop-ins to take care of your pet! I would love to spend my spare time caring for your furry friends! I am available to watch animals in your home where they are able to feel the most comfortable and maintain their routines as much as possible. I have a car which allows me to reliably travel around town to care for your pets, and I am even happy to take your pup with me on some outdoor adventures if you'd like!
About: With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, which has helped me develop a strong ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether it's providing a fun walk, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. My priority is always their well-being, and I work hard to create a positive, stress-free environment for every dog in my care. I am a student at Oregon State University but that leaves me with a good amount of extra time for pet care. Not only does it come easy for me, I absolutely love caring for animals whether it is my own or other pet owners. In my client's home, I tend to be an overcommunicator. I am always letting my client know when I am coming and going or when I am in for the night. I also love to send plenty of pictures. I always think that I would want my service and care to reflect how I would want my own pets to be treated.
About: I have had pets my entire life. Some of the pets I have had included dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, fish and more! I have had a lot of experience taking care of my family members and friends pets. I have also learned a lot of skills from a trained dog care professional. I am at home almost all of the time so I can spend plenty of time with any pets that I am watching, I can watch pets any day of the week and will take dogs on daily walks. I have a fenced back yard so dogs can spend plenty of time in the sun. I also will take dogs on daily walks and play with them plenty. I can also watch cats in clients homes and will be sure to give them lots of attention and play time to keep them company.
About: I have been trusted with pet and house care since I was around 10 years old, I truly treat every animal I watch as my own. I am comfortable with caring for multiple pets at a time and have experience caring for newborn kittens with health complications, senior animals, and special needs animals. I will typically build my days around pet care. My only time constraints at the time are two classes this upcoming fall term (starts around September 20th). I will have lots of time to dedicate to your fur babies. I am happy to follow the routines, instructions, and typical practices for your animal(s) in your home. I always make an effort to respect the space, communicate clearly and often, and provide care you can trust.
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 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.
About: I have been a dog, cat, and house sitter for many years for friends and acquaintances. I am open to all kinds of animal and have had experiences handling them. I work in the mornings and rarely in the afternoons so I have a lot of free time. I also have a dog and cat car seat available I have a large yard that is not fenced in but is fun to play in. My apartment is clean and very pet friendly. I am nearby lots of trails and paved walkways to take the animals on adventures. I also have a car to travel with the animal to parks. I work in the mornings and have lots of free time in the afternoon. I had a high needs animal therefore I have experienced with that along with caring for senior animals.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been comfortable with them all my life. I love dogs and recently dog sat for my parents and their 2 older dogs for 3 weeks. Currently I am at home for summer before going back to school in September. My schedule is pretty open with lots of free time throughout the day. I generally start my day by greeting the dogs and feeding them before checking to make sure they have water. With my older dogs who need their medication I’ll bury it in their food to make sure they eat it. Later on I’ll take them out on a walk to get their exercise. When we get back I’ll give them a treat and some pets before going on to whatever else I need to do.

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.

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.

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 .
