About: Animals have always been important to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experience helping care for dogs by feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, calm, and willing to follow any instructions carefully to keep pets safe and happy. I’m currently a student, but I make time in my schedule for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to work with pet owners to make sure their pets get consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet. I’m attentive, responsible, and careful to follow feeding schedules, routines, and safety instructions so pets feel secure and comfortable while in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. Going on walks and playing outside is always a blast for all fur babies! I used to walk neighbors and families pets. I have also dog sat for a few friends and family members. I am currently looking to stay home to homeschool my kids! And would love to sit with your loved one so they are not alone while your at work or on vacation whatever your needs! I currently do not have a fenced yard but willing to walk dogs to go potty or walk them around the yard. Playing, snuggling, making sure they are fed and watered!
“We had a short notice trip and thankfully we're able to find Anthony available. After a meet and greet with our 2 adult dogs and 1 puppy we knew it would go well. Even our puppy who is a little hesitant of new people loved him immediately. Anthony did good with sending pictures, keeping the house clean, and making sure to send updates.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, guniea pigs, hamsters, etc. since i was 10 years old. I love animals and have 4 of my own. I have 1 dog who is a rough collie and 3 cats. I’m currently working at an elementary school with special needs kids. I am currently looking for something to help make a little more money for me. We do not have a fenced in yard but we live on a dirt road and have super nice neighbors. We also would crate our dog if they do not get along.
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
“Elizabeth is great, always caring and attentive! This is the second time she’s watched my cat, it feels great to have a sitter I know I can trust when I’m out of town.”

“Elizabeth was so patient with our Jack but by the end of the time he was sitting on her lap and letting her feed him from churru tubes. She worked hard to earn his trust which made a long trip successful for everyone. She also graciously put our trash and recycling bins out and away on our trash days plus made sure to bring in packages that kept being delivered after our wedding. She was super communicative, sent a few videos of Jack with his new found love of cat tv and made us feel very secure leaving our baby for a longer period of time. Highly recommend!”

“Kerri is friendly and outgoing! She demonstrates a care for your animals and makes sure she completes the tasks as you request. She was a wonderful care taker for our animals while we were away! Than you Kerri!”
About: There has not been a time in my life when I haven’t cared for pets. I cared for animals when I was younger and I pet-sit for friends’ cats and dogs when they are on vacation. Currently, I have four dogs and six cats, many of whom have been rescued. My pets are loved and well-cared for and our vet said she wishes she was a pet in our home. I am an expert at giving medicine to both dogs and cats, and especially the challenge that comes with cats! I currently work very part-time and early mornings so I am flexible and have my days free for stop-in visits and walks for your dogs. We have an invisible fence outside the home and inside our home so the cats do not have to be chased by the dogs. We also make sure to never have anything containing xylitol or certain plants in the home due to poisoning of both dogs and cats.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I did volunteer work at a humane society for 5 years, I also have been a groomer for the past 10 years. WeI am currently a stay-at-home mom, my hours are very flexible! Working around clients schedule would be just fine. Open to anything & everything! 🙂 I know how to give medication if needed, clean up after animals if needed and safely walk dogs. Good at following instructions to a t.
“Another great visit with Jamie! She is incredibly reliable, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. I received updates with photos and videos, during the visit and my dogs adore her. It’s such a relief to know they're being loved and well taken care of while we are away. We highly recommend Jamie, she goes above and beyond every time!”

About: I have grown up with dogs. I am excellent at following any instructions that you may have. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet! I am a stay at home mom! I take care of my two young boys and my dog, a Golden Retriever, every day. I have a consistent routine with each. Leaving me with written instructions helps me so much! You know your pet best which allows me to meet their needs. Also, I will contact you if I have any questions.
About: My schedule is hybrid so I can be in and out during the work day. I grew up around cats and also have a toy fox terrier. I spent a lot of time with labs as well. Spade spent a lot of time with beagles and labs. I used to have a Chihuahua who sadly passed away 2 years ago. The yard is completely fenced in and big enough for them to play. I will also take them for walks. I have experience with injections for dogs that need insulin or medication. I work two days at home three days in office. It is hybrid and a lot of it is spent out in the community so I am able to pop in and out a lot during the work week. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a dog that is super friendly and loving. She loves other animals and any kind of company.

This was my first booking with Felicia, and she was wonderful. I have one cat that is shy/skittish until he gets to know you. He warmed up to Felicia quicker than I expected. Based on the photos she provided, both of my cats appeared to love her. I had excellent communication with Felicia about what I needed and questions she had. I would book Felicia again in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portland on Rover is $17.96 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 483 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.

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.
