“Scott arrived on time and my dogs were comfortable with him. He was attentive to them outside when dropping by to let them out and playing with them. Would definitely use his services again.”

About: I've taken care of various animals my whole life. I have watched and help train the pets of friends and family for many years. As a special needs dog mom, I understand the importance of quality care and would provide nothing but the best for your pet! I am a stay at home mom so my availability is fairly flexible for me to have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I don't have a fenced in yard but have a lot of property to walk and explore giving plenty of exercise! I can also travel to your home and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home. Walks, play time and cuddles for your pet whenever you need!
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, and before I moved to America we owned two amazing high energetic dogs. I loved taking them on walks and letting them explore the environment. I will ensure your dog is having as much fun as I will on his/her walk. I like getting exercise through walking so your dog will be getting plenty of it. Your dogs safety is also a top priority to me at all times and I will ensure that whatever activities we’ll be engaging in, they'll be kept safe. I work full time but still have plenty of time in the day to play and love your pup, my husband is also usually home as well and will generally help with care I have a fenced in backyard that I like taking the dogs outside to if they don’t need a long walk while they stay. We can also play.
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals in general since a young age, with my grandpa running a small farm. I’ve grown up around breeds like German Shepherds, and have always taken care of friends’ dogs while they were in vacation. I learned a lot from my fiancé, who ran a successful dog walking business in New York City Give yourself peace of mind, your dog is in safe, loving, caring hands. I’m currently working from home with a special schedule which I take advantage of as it frees up a lot of time during the day. Pet care fits into it quite easily, as I have a daily routine I follow which includes dog walks, time with the dogs outside and of course feedings (and tending medicine when needed). I have a home situated on a quiet, secluded private lot that backs up onto a river with several trails within a short walking distance. The yard is secluded, well shaded and has ample space. I take care to be active with the dogs, so I usually toss frisbees or play fetch several times a day to keep them content. I walk my dogs twice around the neighborhood. Besides home, I have a number of dog-friendly trails and parks both in East Stroudsburg and nearby where I bring the dogs for some quality time outside. This includes hiking on trails and in the mountains, bringing the dogs to rivers or lakes, I mix it up each week depending on the weather conditions. Any time I go on an outdoor adventure, I make sure I have the owner’s consent. Their dogs will always be hydrated and have a snack. I only ask that if your dog has specific dietary needs or is taking medication, that you provide me with the necessary information and schedule. I have two modes of transport for dogs, both of which offer plenty of space, safety and comfort for the dogs while en route.

About: I have taken care or animals for the past 8 years. I have been utilized by my friends and family to feed, watch, play, and work on training. I work at a wildlife refuge in the mornings then I can dedicate all of my time after that commitment to taking care of your pets. My refuge time can become flexible but that will have to be discussed prior if it is necessary. Safety, trust, and the well-being of pets are my top priorities. When pet sitting or dog walking, I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, maintain a secure environment, provide fresh water, exercise, and attention, and monitor pets for any signs of illness or distress. I treat every pet with patience and care, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.
“Contacted Alyssa through Rover.com and she replied very quickly. When asked if she could come over to meet our dogs, she agreed and was open to any time of day or night. With our busy schedule we were finally able to meet her at 9:30pm (our fault not hers). We have 1 calm dog and one excitable dog. Alyssa handled each very well, even though our excitable dog barked quite a bit each time she came over. Seeing how she handled each dog individually based on their personalities was amazing. She had great patience and got a long great with our animals and us. Alyssa has a down to earth personality, has great communication skills, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Our dogs are so very important to us, they are like our children, and after meeting with Alyssa and seeing her interactions and care for our pets, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”

“We had a wedding at the Stroudsmoor with our dogs in the wedding and we asked Autumn to watch after the dogs during the wedding ceremony and photos before and after the ceremony. She did an excellent job handling our two fur babies and doing all the was necessary to make our dogs part of our big day. If you need any dog services I highly recommend Autumn!”

“Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!
About: I had an adult dog for 6 years who unfortunately passed a couple years ago. When he became a senior, it was like I had a whole new dog that I had to learn more about to take care of. He was my best friend, and I miss him a lot. Now that I'm in college, I can't have any pets, but I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away. I’m home from college this summer and I can visit your fur baby whenever you need me to, for walks, feeding, play time, etc! In your home, I will follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way that you want them taken care of. I'll treat them like my own and make sure they're safe and happy.

“Kimberly was awesome! She communicated with us everyday and always made sure to send several photos during her visits. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would absolutely work with her again.”

“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter; both dependable and trustworthy. You can tell she loves animals, spending time during visits not just feeding them, but actually giving the pets love and attention. During my time away, she kept me up to date on the cats' status and sent a lot of photos of the cats being cared for.”

About: Hi we’re Linda and Tyler, Lifelong animal lover with a goofy, friendly husky who keeps us active and smiling every day! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love are already part of my routine, and would love to share that with your fur baby too. Your pet will be treated like family in my care—whether they need exercise, attention, belly rubs, or just a comfy companion. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was born. I love how no two pets are the same. I treat every pet like they’re my own fur babies. I have many years of experience in both small and large animal care. I work as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable giving your fur baby daily medication if needed. I am very flexible with timing on when your fur baby needs attention and lovings. I will work my daily tasks around your pets schedule! Everything will be followed what you tell me how to care for your fur baby. I will always give them a lot of attention and lovings.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 784 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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
