“Maya was INCREDIBLE! I booked based off of reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. I was worried because Cooper being an Australian Cattle Dog and notoriously high energy that maybe she’d be too much but to my surprise she had some shepherds of her own. What a perfect match! Communication, feedback, and overall care for Cooper was absolutely perfect. Meeting Maya too was pleasant. 10/10 would book again if she’d have us! This is your local trusted walker!”
“Desirée did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were camping for a long weekend! I felt super comfortable, knowing that he was well cared for. Desirée sent pictures of him and he seemed to warm right up to her! She really went above and beyond!”
“Ivory was amazing and brought treats and toys for my Alpha and Omega to play with. Very fast communicator and definetely a great personality. Would book again 🥰 Thank you again Ivory!”
“Jourdan was fantastic! They were flexible and understanding with my last minute booking and were thorough and communicative and sent great pictures of my cats. I came home to happy and healthy cats who I knew were well cared for! Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“I recently had to travel out of state and then overseas. Trace was wonderful in tending to my kitty. I loved the Rover cards sent daily which provided updates and photos. She was also accomodating when I realized at the last moment that I needed her assistance an additional day. Very sweet woman and I highly recommend her services.”
“Sidra took great care of my cat while I was away, taking her for walks and making sure to give her some love and playtime each time visiting. Sidra sent me very cute pictures each time so I knew my cat was well taken care of. A highly responsible and responsive petsitter.”
“Emily did everything she said she would do and stuck to the schedule we had agreed upon. She gave us detailed updates and followed our instructions to the letter. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.”
“Molly took such wonderful care of my two cats, Millie and Crouton, over the weekend. From the start, her communication was clear and consistent—she asked thoughtful questions and made sure she understood their routines and personalities. While I was away, she sent the sweetest photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Millie and Crouton were relaxed and happy when I returned—and as a cat mom, that means everything. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will absolutely be rebooking with Molly and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and deeply trustworthy sitter.”
“Renata accepted my request for a last minute, five day drop in visit booking and sent me great updates and pictures! My travel was unexpected and right after a move, so kitty was a little stressed when we met, but Renata made me feel reassured that she was in good hands with daily visits, and they had some nice cuddles in my absence :-)”
“Evita took great care of my two fur babies while I was away. This was my first time using Rover so I had a few questions, which Evita responded to promptly. She was very professional and I know the kitties were happy to have her there to play with while I was gone. Definitely would request her again!”
“Sydney was fabulous! She was very flexible and my dog really enjoyed her company. I had a medical emergency and she jumped right in to help with my pup which I greatly appreciated.”
“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Holden took care of our cats while we were away for the week. They were easy to reach, very responsive, and made sure our cats were safe and sound. Highly recommend! Will book again!”
“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”
“Max is amazing with all three of our pets, he left the house looking better than we had it and is amazing at keeping up with communication. We received professional grade photos everyday of our pets while we were away and some videos too. We fully trust Max to watch our pets again.”
“Kate, was so sweet to my puppy. She came over on short notice. She came over to meet him, and then dropped in the following day. She was very attentive to all of the info I shared and provided my puppy with such great care. I fully trust her and my puppy immediately loved her too.”
“Micaela was fabulous! Everything went smoothly and she was awesome with the photos and updates. I came home to a very clean apartment and I can tell she took great care of my kitty”

Jourdan was amazing with my old girl. She can be a grumpy cat and is picky about who she shows attention to. She was so comfortable with her that she opened up and had a play. Which she doesnt do for even neighbors she sees regularly. While on my trip my girl was comfortable and happy and that gave me immense peace of mind! Love Jourdan!!
Hanna did a great job watching my cat! There were a few extremely hot days and my cat is sensitive to heat. She made adjustments, kept him hydrated and ran AC to keep him cool so he got through them ok. He was happy and healthy when I got home. Would highly recommend Hanna to anyone needing a cat sitter.
Alexander is a very reliable and caring pet-sitter. We know that when he is looking after our 3 cats he is doing more than the essential physical care (food, water, litter) and medical needs (pills for 2 cats, eardrops). He is also playing with them and giving them the attention they crave. I can rest easy when planning trips knowing that Alexander will be here for them.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portland on Rover is $21.49 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
