“Sara was so good and an obvious natural animal lover when she met Harvey! She gave us detailed updates & brought us a lot of peace & mind while we were away. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Paige is warm, friendly, and professional. She took very good care of our two kitties and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We look forward to booking her again sometime!”
“Lauren stopped by our apartment twice a day to feed our 13 year old cat for a little over a week while we were away. We especially appreciated how she went above and beyond by making extra trips in the morning to split up our cat’s feeding schedule to help accommodate her sensitive stomach. Her daily check ins and quick communications were so appreciated and helped us feel way more at ease.”
About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!
“Lindsay is amazing! She spent quality time with my sweet Bubba indoors and out. I work long shifts and always miss my dog - it brightened my day to know that he had some company at home and made a new friend :)”
“Jesika is great! I can always trust her to be kind to my pets, give them attention and take good care of them! She is mature, responsible and caring. Highly recommended!”
“Consistently great. It's such a wonderful feeling to have someone who really loves my cat in my corner when I'm away on trips - the peace of mind cannot be overestimated.”
“Hannah was great! She did an awesome job with our 3 month old puppy and was happy to accommodate his twice a day schedule. She was prompt and attentive, would use her again.”
“We had the pleasure of having Barbara watch our 8 month old kitten! To help with the separation, Barbara sent daily pictures and messages. Very kind and thoughtful, highly recommend!!”
“Sera was more than we could ask for! I was apprehensive leaving our cat for two weeks, but right away Sera made us feel very secure and made sure our cat felt very loved. The daily updates and photos were perfect and we could tell our cat loved her so much we started to feel jealous 😂😂😂 Highly highly recommend!! Surely our Rusie can’t wait for us to take another vacation!”
“Marna was great. Our three dogs loved her. She was caring, on time, and professional. Marna came over a few days before to meet our dogs and get info needed to care for them while we were gone. I would definitely try to book her again when we go away again, if she is available.”
“Carlie is great - super communicative and reliable - and it was a relief knowing that our cats were in such good hands while we were away. Will definitely be asking her to look after them again in future!”
“Avital, you took such great care of our Betty! Thank you for your pictures, communication, and thoughtfulness. We are excited to have you back with Betty next weekend! Thank you!!!”
About: I have grown up with animals and took on an active responsibility for them by age 10. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds and horses even the occasional snake and love them all equally. My dog experience if everything from a Chihuahua to a Great Pyrenees (though if you were to ask me my German Shepard’s always held a special place in me heart). Currently I have a rescue from the shelter and spend a lot of my time with her for training and building her confidence. I currently work and attend graduate school. I am available all day on weekends and after 5pm all week days except for Wednesdays as I will be attending classes. I always strive to meet the needs of the area I have experience with many diets and also enjoy taking my pups and any other pup in my care for long walks or for a good romp in the dog park to burn all their energy.
“Hannah was such a sweet babysitter for our cats. She was on time to do a meet and greet the week before, and let us add on extra days to accommodate our travel. She took lots of pictures of our cats and seemed like she played with them a bit during her visits. I highly recommend her service and will book with her again!”

I can't say enough great things about Paige! It's never easy leaving your pets however, Paige made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. During her visits she always checked in and sent photos. We had a few little mishaps while we were traveling (water was accidentally shut off and a missed connecting flight) and Paige immediately offered assistance. She also had ideas on how to help calm our incredibly anxious dog. She was truly incredible and we will definitely use her again!
Barbara is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! so flexible, great at communication, she even waters my plants and brings my packages in. I never worry about leaving my cats for a few days if Barbara is around, she loves them and they love her! even my moody boy cat who doesn’t like strangers :)
Annie is my go-to person for when I go away. I feel happy knowing Juni will be taken excellent care of. Annie even asked me if Juni needed her supplement, which I had forgotten to leave on the to-do list, but Annie remembered from her last visit. Juni is on different medications, and that kind of attention to detail means a lot to me.
Amigo is always really happy to have us come home from our trips. But we notice he is now not so concerned when he sees the suitcases come out, because he now knows that means he will be seeing Jackiellen soon!S he makes it easy for us to leave him at home as we know he will always be exceptionally well-cared for!!!
Hanna is awesome! This is the second time we've worked with her and the first since we adopted our second cat. She was very sensitive to their rocky relationship and especially patient with our older cat, who takes time to win over. It was very easy to relax on our trip knowing our cats were left in such good care.
Carlie was great! During our meet and greet she took notes which I deeply appreciated. I requested pictures every check in, and Carlie absolutely delivered! She was responsive and easy to communicate with. Benji (cat) liked her as well! We came back to a happy cat, well fed, and a clean litter box. Would happily book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 515 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
