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’m a dog mom of 2 and former cat mom who has a full time job but needed more pet love in my life! I love long walks and fetch but also cuddling on the couch. I am a go-to pet sitter for friends and would love to meet your pets! I have a full time job and use the weekends for walking and taking care of pets. Some days I’m lucky to work from home so I like to fit in some walks or cuddles then too! I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood with 2 friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I own my home so if it gets hairy, no problem :-)
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: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.
About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I watched my neighbors and families dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since I was five years old and haven’t lived a day in my life without them since. I have my own dog Mickey who is four and three cats. I am well versed in administering medicine for both dogs and cats. I love all fur-babies and really enjoy spending time with them! I am currently a bartender on the weekends and fitness instructor. My schedule is fairly open except for late Saturday nights! My schedule is very flexible I think each pet is unique and as is their care. I am great with dogs that have specific diets and schedule. I have lived and worked with all kinds of cats. Dogs that need to be kenneled are no problem.
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.

Big or small, I love ‘em all. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, birds, and fish! I’ve got a flexible schedule, and weekends and evenings are especially open! Just give me notice. Nothing like adding some pet snuggles to my week. I’m happy to care for your furry fam whenever I’m free! All preferences can be discussed in advance!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!
“Alesha is my pups other mother. Sake is almost 17, so she needs extra reassurance that she is safe since her eyesight is fading. Alesha walks my dog regularly, but also stepped in as mom for two months last year when I was on a place every 4 days. Her love and compassion is why she is my go to person to take care of my best friend. Knowing that you have someone to love your pet as much as you do is important. I can travel for work knowing that Sake is in good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I have a 2 year old little boy. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,571 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Portland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
