“Maddy was a great pet sitter! She was very communicative and took lots of pictures so we could see our pets while we were out of town. You can tell she's a real animal lover and super friendly. We will definitely use her services next time we need them!”
“Kayla's great! Would send updates with detailed info of how the visits went. Our shyest cat actually warmed up to her, which is how I know she's a cat person. 🙃 Highly recommend and will be using her services again!”
“Molly has been so great watching my cat, Zoey! She is so reliable & checked in on Zoey more while I was away which was amazing. Zoey loved having the company! Thank you so much!”
“Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!”
“Kept my place so neat on top of caring for my elderly cat that is prone to accidents. Would highly recommend reaching out to Adelaide if you need someone trustworthy to watch your pets!”
“Annie was wonderful, she took great care of my girls. She even helped clean up a bit of a mess they made on my carpet. It is clear that she really does care for your pets while you're away. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Carmen was a great petsitter for my cat while I was gone for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and was really easy to communicate with and quick to respond to texts. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Trace was great with my finicky kitties, as always. And she won over my shy cat. She also was a big help keeping an eye on a leak that flared up part of the time that I was gone. I'm very happy to continue to use her services!”
“Both Taylor and Brett were helpful and super on top of taking care of our cats, very professional and thorough with their reports and photos. I felt like our cats were in great hands.”
“Julia is great with my dog Brees and takes a lot into consideration when dealing with my anxious pup. She is great with communication and my dog loves to see her when she comes in!”
“Evita was great taking care of my cat for a week. She followed all my picky instructions, sent nice updates and photos after every visit, and was very patient and attentive with my super shy boy. Would definitely book her again!”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“Raven was such a great help for my trip. Reliable, trustworthy, and took good care of my dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit tetchy with new people and Raven knew exactly how to handle it (ignore ignore ignore) till he came around and I was really grateful for that level headedness. Definitely plan to hire Raven again!”
About: LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly! My home: 1 bedroom apartment, ground floor. Live with my partner. Do not hesitate to ask for lower rates! I like to be as respectful and loving to animals as much as I can. I prefer to let them come to me, and show that I am not a threat. All I want is for animals to feel comfortable. I work a part-time job, so any time between that would be great to fill with cute animals. I don't have any pets of my own. Make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. Make sure I check on them and give them love. With respect, I make sure the animal senses that I am there for them. Positive reinforcement only. I will never let another animal interact with your dog, or let a stranger touch your dog.
“Christopher is absolutely the best! Leaving Pax alone when we travel is always hard, but Christopher gives us such peace of mind! He’s really wonderful!”
About: I grew up in a home surrounded by a variety of pets, taking on the role of primary caregiver even as a child. This experience has provided me with valuable skills in caring for my own pets as well as those of friends. Over the past three years, I have turned my love for pet-sitting into a rewarding side job. Since I currently don’t have any pets of my own, my time spent with your pets becomes even more special. I work-from-home with a very flexible schedule! During the week, I’m all about taking your pup on epic walks or having cozy cuddle sessions with your kitty. Plus, many of my weekends are a pet party waiting to happen! My home is ideally designed for pet sitting. It features a clean and tidy environment with plenty of cozy spots for pets to relax. Additionally, large windows allow animals to gaze outside, and I am conveniently located near parks and green areas for enjoyable walks. I am also available to provide pet sitting services in your home if that is your preference.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Portland is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
She is amazing. I highly recommend this pet sitter. I have two cats and one of them is fairly standoffish and nervous around people. And for some unknown reason, this cat, is in love with her. I had no idea he could be so sweet and cuddly with people and somehow, something magical about her makes him safe and feel loved. I'm almost a little bit jealous of her as a result. I don't think he's ever been as cuddly with me as he is with her. He's a wonderful cat but he definitely has human preferences.
We had a wonderful experience with Gracie! She set my mind at ease at the meet and greet when I brought up some issues that had come up with a previous sitter, and even specifically followed up on these topics during the visits so I knew my two cats were getting proper care. It was great getting daily updates and photos, and even a couple videos from the visits, and the boys were happy and healthy upon return…plus the house wasn’t torn up from anxiety/boredom, so they definitely got playtime and love! Gracie was even kind enough to spend a bit of extra time with them on the weekend since the trip was 10 days. She was also super flexible and understanding of some last minute changes to one of my trips and some updates to care/house instructions. Thank you Gracie!!
I’ve used Courtney multiple times now to check on Malta while I’m out of town, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, communicates well, sends updates and photos, and makes the whole process easy. It’s a huge relief knowing Malta is in good hands when I’m away. I’d highly recommend Courtney and will definitely continue booking with her in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Evita! As first-time Rover users who had only ever left our cats with family before, we were understandably a little nervous, but she was incredibly patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. She was communicative, flexible, and very thorough, making sure we always knew how things were going at home. We especially appreciated that she continued sending updates and photos even when our cats were hiding. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats' well being and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. We came home to happy cats and felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
