“Karlena has been amazing with our puppy Billie! She is always on time and keeps us updated. She works on training her while she’s here and puts up with the puppy biting. She is our saving grace on days where we aren’t home for extended periods of time.”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing. This was our first time working with her and we will definitely use her in the future. I love that she sent me lots of pictures and updates and her notes were very detailed.”
“Brittney is great. We received details on how our cats were doing and pictures so we could see their precious faces each check in visit. We know they were well loved and taken care of while we traveled.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.
“Kaitlin was outstanding caring for our 2 cats! She would share multiple adorable pictures each visit. As well as journaling our kitty activities. We were so fortunate to have Kaitlin care for our furry loves. She was so thorough we would rebook her in a minute!”
“Aly has been a good caregiver for our dogs, and we cannot recommend her enough! She previously took care of our senior dog, Braxton, and when he passed, we were heartbroken. A few years later, we got our new dog, Blü, who is much larger and we decided to give Aly a call. Aly followed all of our care instructions meticulously and ensured Blü received attention, and plenty of exercise during our time away. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you, Aly, for your wonderful care and support on a last minute notice.”
“Briona did a great job with a drop in visit for our dog! She sent a bunch of pictures and remembered our dog care instructions from her prior visit. We came home to a happy dog :)”
“Christine is phenomenal. I cannot possibly praise her highly enough. She was amazingly flexible about the initial meet-and-greet and a subsequent drop-by to pick up the key I hadn't had for her during the initial meeting. This is the second week (5 days/week) of her taking wonderful care of my 2 senior dogs that require special handling (medication administration, diapering, slow-paced walking). She reliably arrives within the agreed-upon window of time, is quick to reply to messages, always sends photos and a report of how the dogs did, leaves everything neat at my apartment, and is just an all-around great caregiver for my dogs. She exceeds all expectations. I am ecstatic that I found her and that she continues to care for my beloved animals.”
“We were so happy to have found Jules last minute for watching out dogs during a long-weekend away! I usually have a friend petsit, who was unavailable at the time, so we planned for a my niece to house/pet sit who bailed on us a few days before! I was very stressed out trying to find someone last minute, and my husband was wary of having a stranger in the house, etc. Jules was extremely accommodating to our last-minute request for three drop in visits a day for our pets! Also, in meeting me the following morning after our initial communication for a meet and greet, even though it was short notice. She kindly went above and beyond to bring in our packages and to just check-in on our bunny and chickens, even though they had a good supply of food and water. Our dogs seemed very happy to have her for company, and seemed at ease when we checked in on them on their camera. I felt very at ease knowing our pets were in good hands, and absolutely would recommend her and use her again in the future! Thank you Jules!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. At one point we had 4 dogs in the house! I am a dog-lover above all, but I also LOVE cats and understand them and their boundaries. I look forward to making new furry friends :) I currently work part-time on Saturdays and am a grad student during the Fall and Spring. Pet care is an AWESOME addition to my open schedule! I have overnight “cat-sat” on and off for the last two years. I do not leave any messes and am respectful of others’ spaces. I keep to myself and read books or do homework online when I stay the night somewhere—as well as hanging with critters!! I am professional and respectful about the work I do🩷
“Michelle was very professional and great with communication. She made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease knowing she was there to take care of my cat. I would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“Madison was so friendly, professional, and reliable. Our standoffish cat warmed up to her right away, which is a better review than anything I could write. We can't wait to book her for a longer stay!”
“Great with communication and last minute drop in needed for our pup Lucy! Lucy also enjoyed having a mini play date with Cosmo during the meet and greet, looking forward to more in the future!”
“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”

Dana did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She provided plenty of updates & pictures showing how well she was taking care of them, and left everything super clean! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to have someone feed your pets while you are away. Thanks again Dana!
Cole was immediately accepted into our family of 3 humans and 2 cats. Even our ‘scaredy’ cat warmed up to him quickly! Cole was nothing but warm, professional, friendly, flexible and compassionate. We knew right away that he was the right sitter for our family. He was always in communication, sent sweet photos of our cats while we were away and really cared for our cats. He put our minds at peace while we were away. It is clear that Cole truly loves animals and is very good with them. We are so grateful for all of his love, care and patience.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care you provided for our cats. You were reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about their well-being. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. Thank you for keeping them happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend your services and would be happy to work with you again in the future!
This was our first time using Rover as we had a wedding we needed to attend out of state. Sherry made the experience so easy, and made us feel so comfortable with meeting our kitties a few times before we had to leave. Our cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. We would recommend her to anyone who’s a first time user, she really is amazing. We will be using her again in the future!
Kaitlin was outstanding caring for our 2 cats! She would share multiple adorable pictures each visit. As well as journaling our kitty activities. We were so fortunate to have Kaitlin care for our furry loves. She was so thorough we would rebook her in a minute!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portland on Rover is $19.24 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,336 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Portland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
