“First time using Rover. Christina was very kind, always on time and took great care of our two cats while we were away. Communication was excellent! We loved getting pictures of our kitties each day. Everything went perfectly in my opinion and we”ll definitely reach out to her again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you again Christina!”
“Kelly was great with our little hound dog. She even took it upon herself to make sure he had music to listen to so didn’t feel lonely while we were gone. He enjoyed all the walks that he took with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Erin was amazing to hire for our two cats. I know they were happy and well cared for! As for going the extra mile; there was a wind storm while we were gone, some things blew all over the yard. Erin was kind enough to pick up, so we didn't lose our kid's toys. Will definitely use her again when needed!”

My personal pets are taken out multiple times a day, never going over 8 hours without care, and they also receive daily medications.

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: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I offer a warm home where your dog becomes part of the family. I live with two friendly, playful resident pups who love meeting new friends—so your dog will always have companionship, social time, and plenty of snuggles. I accept dogs on the furniture (couches = cuddle central!), follow your pup’s routine closely, and create a calm, personalized experience tailored to their needs. Whether your dog requires daily medication, struggles with anxiety, or just wants a cozy, loving place to relax while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time on our property. More land = more sniffing adventures. I only care for a few dogs at a time so I can give each one the love and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, affection, and lots of tail wags! I live in a one level house with only about 4 steps to get into the front for any senior dogs. 📝 Things to Know • No fenced yard, but we play regularly • Dogs allowed on furniture • Two playful, friendly resident dogs • Comfortable with meds & special needs. • Flexible pick-up/drop-off • I care for only a few dogs at a time for high-quality, focused attention Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I plan my days around the dogs! I work from home and rarely gone for long spurts. We stick to a consistent routine that includes morning and evening meals, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Your pup will get plenty of attention, structure, and affection every single day, just like my own dogs do. I provide a calm and loving environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, meds, and crate use (if preferred). Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and they’ll have my two friendly pups as built-in companions for play and company. I keep the home clean, cozy, and supervised, so every dog feels like part of the family.
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 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!
“Kayla is great. We had a last minute change in our schedule and she was able to pop in to play with the puppies taking a lot of stress off us for the day. She is so good with our babies!!”
“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”
About: Grew up with a dog all my life always believed they were man’s best friend. 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.
“I really can’t say enough about Katherine! We’re really careful with our bunny, Basil, and Katherine always takes such good care of her. We can tell Basil really loves her and feels safe with her, and Katherine has always been so kind, trustworthy, and dependable! If you book with her you’ll have peace of mind. We’re grateful for her!”
About: I've had dogs most my life until I met my wife and she converted me to a cat person. I have helped neighbors and friends take care of their fur babies for years. I have ample experience in taking care of elderly dogs and cats. I'm not afraid of messes, and pretty great at cleaning accidents when needed. Promo https://www.rover.com/sit/seano64985 I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will try to work you in however I can. With great communication and scheduling anything can be possible I enjoy the companionship of animals. I like to play and pet them to build a good bond. I enjoy going out into nature, so walks are an extra bonus to me

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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Portland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Portland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 pet, 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.
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.
