About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience on Rover for both dogs and cats in Waco, I recently moved to Corpus Christi.. I currently have a small Yorkie of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. Aside from occasional college classes beginning soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a calm environment where they can feel secure. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will be treated like part of my own family.
About: I will share plenty of QT with your pet/pets, walking, playing, grooming and other special considerations❤️ About this sitter: Hi, Caring for my own pets over the years dogs, cats, horses, birds, bunnies, and more I know and understand the worry and concern of leaving them for even a short time. I want to offer you complete peace of mind that you are leaving them safe, happy and loved with someone who truly cares. I would love to care for your furry ones if your not able or need care for them while your away. From walking to drop in services I would be happy to be a part of your fur babies life as your caretaker. I currently own 3 mini Schnauzers (Pandora, Gypsy and Sunshine) who are very precious to me. I also have had and cared for many animals though out my lifetime. I am a fur baby fanatic who is willing to give the same devotion I give my own to your kiddos while your away. I am also a certified Vet Assistant. Why I love dog sitting I love not only dogs but many different animals. My experience administering medication I have a background as a certified Vet Assistant and have administered meds before for a pet daycare facility in Houston. Therefore if the pet does not get to aggressive I do not mind this action at all. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding this subject. I will be more then happy to try to accommodate your needs. A whole lot of lovins, playtime, walking food and snackies. Me and my 3 fur kids enjoy making new friends, sharing space and having fun. Note: Medium to large dogs especially if they are anxious will be crated while I am out of the house for drop-ins and errands. This is for the safety of your pets and mine. I am generally gone for less then an hour or two but occasionally time away can be up to 4 hrs. I prefer pets that are crate trained for they find crates safe and comfy opposed to punishment. I just like to have this noted to be fair and honest. I absolutely need a meet with the larger dogs to be sure we are a good fit. I am always available for the tiny-medium dogs 🐕 🙂

About: Hello all! I’m Ebony and I would love to take care of your pet. I have taken care of my pets and others’ pets for over 30 years. I am adaptable and very reliable. I can handle an older pet or a young one. I have a very open schedule and with proper notice I can be available but I am also available for unexpected/last minute visits. I normally go on long walks and runs so I welcome active dogs. I am all about making your pet feel comfortable and safe when I am with them. I have a pet so I understand these furry ones are like our children and I will treat them with care
About: From the beginning of my life I have always been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm and had plenty of pets! I believe every animal in the world deserves love! I am an excellent candidate for your pet! I am very responsible and reliable. I answer quickly and send many pictures during the stay! I make sure they have their appropriate amount of food, water and exercise as well as playtime and attention! I do not just “watch” I care and love for your pet. I take the time to connect with them as they warm up to me. I want to know their feelings, boundaries, mannerisms, and even what side they like to sleep on. Every pet I sit for is not only an opportunity but another connection and commitment to my love of animals. My goal while providing services for your pets is to make both pet and owners comfortable through the whole experience. I understand what it’s like to feel anxious and worried about your pet especially with someone other than yourself. I have been there and felt the same way. Therefore with your pet as listed above I will send multiple updates and pictures as well as answer as soon as possible. Anything and everything I need to for my client and their fur babies! I have had a lot of experience with a large number of dogs and cats before! Whether they be elderly, disabled, super hyper, and even more mellow, as well as territorial, aggressive, and anxious. I treat each pet with care and support and am great at sticking to schedules and keeping pups and cats and even more busy! I am a hard worker and I keep my word. I’m off and pet sitting during the summer. During the school year I’m in and out of the house but love to spend time with my pets and I am very time conscious and responsible about how I spend my time. I make sure my dog Frankie gets so much love and attention and sometimes it’s so much he needs space haha. If I were to host your pet or do any other service for your pet becomes my priority! My job is to provide love and support and I love it! I live in an apartment and it’s always locked and safe! Plenty of toys, and treats to go around! While staying at my apartment your dog will not only be cared for but loved and appreciated. They have free will to get on couches, my bed, anywhere as long as they are comfortable! When it comes to my dog Frankie,I feed my dog 3 times a day and play with him all the time! I play with him for an hour and an extra hour just for pets and love! I cuddle with him every night and make sure he’s happy before I am always. The same goes to any animal I pet sit!
About: I have been taking care and loving dogs since I’ve been able to carry their food and water. I have had dogs from Great Danes, labs, bird dogs, Chihuahuas, Australian shepherds, border collies, healers, and Belgian malinois. all kinds of temperament and levels of care. I also have three years of small and large animal vet experience so I can administer medication’s, or I can also help and assess the situation if an emergency comes up. I currently have one Australian shepherd and he’s my baby. I am a stay at home mom and wife. I do have a daughter in school, but I have no restrictions to my schedule. I have 2 daughters, one is in school and one is not old enough yet but accommodations on my end can be met. We live in a little house on the outside of rockport. I have a fenced in back yard with a big patio door to have supervision at all times, I am mostly outside with them the entire time though. I live on paved backroads so I can go for walks as well. I have a 5 year old Australian shepherd. He’s is also very friendly and loves other dogs.
About: I am a 30 year old stay at home mom of one and dog mom of four. We love to play in our large fenced yard. We would love to have your furbabies over for a fun day of playing and rest. Our fur family includes 6 year old miniature dachshund siblings, Cami and Cooper, ten year old, great pyrenees Boomer, and eleven year old dachshund- mix Oliver. We typically start off our day outside chasing squirrels, chewing sticks, and playing fetch. Then we have our morning treat. After treat time we make sure to take a potty break followed by a nap on the couch. Boomer loves to sneak off to the bedrooms and get back in the bed for an afternoon snooze. The rest of the afternoon we play inside with all of our toys and bones before going outside to play some more. Around 7 o'clock every night we eat dinner, take our last potty break and get in the bed with mom and dad.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Portland is $13 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $16 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 309 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 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
