“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.”
About: Pet sitting: - Feeding - Regular scheduled bathroom breaks - Grooming both cats and dogs (nail and teeth care included) - Walking dogs - Experience with animals with disabilities - Experience with senior animals - (Some) medication administration Animal shelter volunteering - Cleaning kennels - Feeding - Dog walking - Assistance during the showing/adoption process I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to the needs of clients. I am happy to be there when you need me to be. This can be arranged during our discussion about your pet! I prioritize the comfort and safety of all animals. I understand that animals all have unique reeds and personalities, and I can adapt to give them the care they deserve.
“Maya was great and kind with my two doggos! She came through for a meet n’ greet before drop in services were needed! Took pictures of the dogs during her check-ins! I will def. Be booking with Maya again!”
“We have a bit of a high maintenance crew, & Raven not only made sure to keep their routine for us while we were away but also received approval nudges from our selective bengal, & affection from our shy ferret girl!! Which is the highest badges of honor in this household. Would highly recommend to anyone who has elder pets who need extra attention, & those who have anxious or selective babes. Thanks for giving us peace of mind, Raven!”
“Kirby took such great care of my dog Birdy. Birdy is a little shy and timid around new people but quickly became comfortable and goofy with Kirby. Kirby is a great person and is highly recommended. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Susan did a great job with the drop in visits and our senior pup. She kept us informed and feeling calm while we were away knowing how our girl was doing and that she was getting the care she needed.”
“Kate was responsive & transparent about her availability. She took the time to sit & pet our sweet fully-outside cat, which was so considerate & kind to do in the cold Portland fall.”
“Carmen did a great job! My very shy cat liked her from the first meet and greet. Carmen communicated well, sent pics and was very conscientious. I would call her again!”
“Milo did a great job communicating ahead of the drop in visits and during the drop in visits by providing plenty of notes and pictures. I will happily use Milo again for future cat sitting jobs!”
“Renata reliably took care of all the basics twice a day for my two cats: food, water, a clean litter box, treats, and she also watered my plants. She sent photo updates with each visit, which was reassuring while I was traveling.”
“Molly took such great care of our usually shy cat. She has a natural, gentle way that won over Ollie at their first meeting. Molly also was communicative, punctual and very conscientious.”
“This is our second time booking with Tayla and we couldn’t be more happy. She loves our dogs like her own. She even went out of her way to get them treats. She communicates so good and always puts my anxiety at ease being away from our babies. She seriously is the BEST!!!! We loveeee her and so do our babies!❤️🐾”
“Evita is the best! my cat is sweet but a crazy little lady and Evita keeps her fed and loved when I have to leave town. Thank you Evita for always taking care of my chunky fuzzball! Marcie loves you!”
“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!”
“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”
“Our cat has had a lot of change recently with moving and being in a new house and has gone back in her shell a bit. But after a day with Briana, she was back in action! Cuddling and playing like they’d known each other a long time. I would absolutely recommend her! A true cat whisperer. Sends lovely updates and captures great pics!”
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
“This was the first time I used Trace to take care of my two cats, and I was very happy with her. Trace was reliable, informative, and thorough. She got along well with both my cats, even quickly developing rapport with my shy cat. I gave her the difficult task of trying to get my male cat to eat more wet food (instead of dry) and she persisted well and successfully with that. I intend to use Trace for future bookings.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Skylar was very professional and adept at caring for my 2 cats during drop in visits/3 days. Skylar went above and beyond….watered a few plants, brought in my mail, and moved the garbage/recycling bins off the sidewalk! I was able to fully enjoy my vacation at the coast, knowing that my cats were being cared for, so well.
Susan is fantastic! She stepped up and helped us short notice after a last minute cancellation. I was worried about leaving our elderly kitty for a week with someone new. She sent lots of photos and is wonderful at communicating. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Molly is a fantastic pet sitter, I highly recommend her! Both my cats love her drop-in visits while I'm away. Providing wet food morning/nights, cleaning litter box, and always going above & beyond. Thank you for the wonderful care and attention with Leif and Clover!
Taylor and Brett took such good care of my cat while I was traveling. They made sure he had plenty of food, water and treats. And they would take time to play with him with all his favorite toys. It was such a great comfort knowing he was in good hands. They are the best!
Gracie took such great care of kitties while we were away. She spent time letting them acclimate to her when she first arrived and paid special attention to our shy kitty / food-lover kitty dynamic making sure our shy guy got plenty of food and attention. Each day she provided detailed care summaries and sent many photos! Her updates and care of our two babies made it possible to relax while away. We will definitely use her again if given the opportunity. Thanks so much, Gracie!
Courtney has been wonderful to work with and our go to for a sitter for a the last multiple visits. Our cats are quite picky but with her they are happy and comfortable whenever she watches them. We can feel at ease to know our pets are in good hands with Courtney!

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 3,484 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:
- 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.
