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.

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.

Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.

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.

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!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Portland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Portland on Rover is $15.54 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,066 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Portland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Portland. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
