About: I have over 30 years of pet care experience, taking care of puppies and kittens through senior dogs and cats. I don’t have children and consider my pets my children! You will have no worries while you are away from them. I have been there and understand what it’s like to be away from my pets and worrying that the people that I asked to look after my pets won’t get there on time to let them out or will forget and not feed them or give them water or scoop their litter box. If you hire me you will not have that problem. You can relax on your vacation or on your business trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work as a merchandiser and have a flexible schedule and can arrange my schedule to include pet visits at any time of the day. I do not currently have a fenced in yard but plan on getting one so if you want me to keep them in my home, I will leash them and walk them.

About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

About: There has never been a time of my life that I didn’t have multiple animals. My fiancé and I currently have one German shepherd, husky mix, she is 3 years old. We also have 4. Chickens. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I would love to take care of your pet(s). I am a resident in Whitehouse TN but am willing to travel a little to help you! I can walk your dog a few miles or a few minutes just tell me what you prefer! I am currently completely available until I start my new job in the police academy. I can check on your pet multiple times a day if needed. A drop in visit from me means I will not only let your animal outside to potty but I will give them attention and love. I will always care for your pet(s) and your property. You can trust me to make sure your pet(s) have water, food, love, and care!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families animals throughout my life and can never get enough of doggy kisses! I have taken care of many pets on and off throughout my teen years and college and now that I am back in college…here I am! I am detailed, great with schedules, and understanding of special accommodations or unusual pets. I am in college part time, and am available to your pets all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while Mondays and Wednesdays are before 9 and after 2. I have a fenced yard and understand keeping a proper schedule to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will always take special care of your animals in your home as well with toy pick up, wiping up messes, and scheduled outside play time that leaves them tired.

About: Experienced Pet Caregiver with Hands-On Puppy Raising Experience, Reliable Feeding and Walking Schedules, and a Strong Commitment to Loving, Attentive Pet Care. Dogs have been apart of my daily routine my entire life so any aspect of taking care of them has been experienced by me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and experience caring for animals every day. I recently graduated from undergrad and am free all summer before starting graduate school, so I have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets in clients’ homes while following their routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I also have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their needs.

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.

About: I have volunteered and fostered dogs for a few years. I have three pups of my own and am excited to start a new journey of caring for dogs when their people need. Currently a part time nanny after teaching for six years, so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pets! Drop off and pick up times unavailable: Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30am-1:30pm I have three sweet dogs to play with yours if they need a buddy. They are also not allowed upstairs, in case you have a senior dog or a dog who needs peace, your pup can have space to themselves. We have a community dog park if you're willing to let them use this (usually kept and empty). I also give lots of walks and snuggles! I am good with following a feeding and medication schedule. In the summer, we put up our temporary fence to allow for outdoor pool time!

I’ve worked in a lot of homes and never had a bad experience with their dogs and I can always find where they love to be scratched I’m currently working full time as a high rise window cleaner in Nashville, but I’m looking for a positive side hustle and dogs love bringing positivity During walks I stay alert and looking for possible dangers i always try to look for big open fields; And during drop ins instructions are king of course respecting the home and safe play of course.

Jessica was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs!! We were gone for almost two weeks, and she kept me updated on the dogs and sent lots of pictures. I felt like my dogs were cared for and loved as if they were her own. No doubt I will book her again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you for the wonderful care you’ve given my dogs and keeping them happy and loved while we were gone!! :)

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for my own dogs, as well as family, friends, and neighbors’ pets, and I truly love making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old Black Lab, Raven, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. Your pup will have a built in buddy for playtime and companionship! I have a spacious home with a basement that is comfortably set up for dogs, and I’m happy to welcome pups onto the furniture because I believe dogs deserve to feel at home (my couch has washable covers). My backyard is partially fenced, and I’m also close to a beautiful Greenway where I love taking dogs for walks and adventures. I also live 3 minutes from Rovers dog park! I understand every dog has their own personality and needs. I have the space and ability to give dogs their own areas or separate them when needed, so every pup can feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during their stay. I also have a membership at Urban Dog Bar in Nashville and love giving dogs fun experiences beyond just sitting at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes your dog happiest. Your pup will be treated like family here with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs included! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m home most weekends and work remotely every Monday and Friday, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work from the office, but I have a consistent routine. I make sure dogs get outside in the morning before I leave, as soon as I’m home, and again before bedtime. I’m also able to provide a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax while I’m away. My backyard is fenced in on three sides and is a decent size for dogs to enjoy. I do let my own dog roam freely, but I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable or safe doing that. I have a running cable available if needed, and I’m also happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. I also have a basement that is separated into two spaces with dog gates, a large dog kennel if needed, and an upstairs area that can be separated with another doggy gate to help create a safe and comfortable space. From one dog mom to another, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in a safe environment with a trusted human. I want every dog in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.

I juggle between college and working part time at Amazon. Between the time that I have, I take care of any animals that need help! When dog sitting, the owner’s instructions is number one. I Provide food, water, exercise, and companionship. I also pay attention to their behavior and ensure their safety and comfort.

About: I have cared for pets since I was double digits. I have had hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs. Dogs are my favorite, though. It doesn't matter what breed; they are all unique in their own way and beautiful as well. I have personally owned a Rotti (Rocco), Husky mix (Mercedes), English Bulldog (Diesel), Frenchies (Kingston & Khloe), and now a pocket bully (Oakley) and English Bulldog (Lola). Since our kids are grown, these are our fur babies. We always say that this is their home, and they just let us live with them. I am able and comfortable with injuries, wounds, bathing, and cutting nails if needed. We are currently going through the puppy stage with Lola, so we have a lot of patience as well. We would love for you to choose us to stay with because we love meeting new friends, no matter their age or breed. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am here most of the time to care for pets. Dogs are like kids; once you have more of them, they are easier to care for because they move in a pack for the most part. I have two extremely friendly and loving dogs here. We have a fenced-in yard in the back. We live in a quiet subdivision out in the country with sidewalks and other friendly dogs. Our home is dog-proofed in the sense that we have a dog gate, multiple dog beds throughout the house downstairs, and two bins of dog toys. We also keep plenty of treats for training and snacks.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Portland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Portland on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 1,611 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Portland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Portland.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Portland. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
