“Deann was awesome! She always communicated when she was at our home, took photos so I could see my girls, and was still concerned about them when it got too hot or too many hours before her next visit. I really appreciate the help she provided while I was celebrating my brother and sister-in-law.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 46 plus years. I have experience with many breeds from 5 lb Teacup Chihuahuas to 155 lb Anatolian Shepherds. I’m a 66 year old retired electrical engineer with a lot of time on my hands. I’ve been looking for a rewarding way to spend some of that time. I’ve always loved dogs and would love to spend some time with yours. I currently have three dogs of my own that are house broken, kennel trained, friendly with children and other pets. My property has a fenced back yard that I clean at least twice a week. I treat it for fleas and ticks at least once a month, and twice a month during rainy times.
About: At 35, I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by everything from horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and birds to snakes. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing enrichment, and keeping pets active with walks and outdoor time. I’m dependable, respectful, hardworking, and committed to giving every animal the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I recently moved to Corpus Christi to continue my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. My schedule is flexible and open outside of classes, we can discuss availability based upon your needs. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your pets. I believe in being respectful, responsible, and mindful of your home and your pet’s routine. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in good hands.
About: I am a part time ultrasound tech who loves animals! I am also a mother of three and a wife—if you’re comfortable with me bringing them along, great! If not, I understand that as well. (So far they’ve been on every adventure with me! 😊) I have over 16 years experience pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, sugar gliders, and bunnies! Growing up I always provided pet sitting care and I'm so excited to be a part of Rover now! I can't wait to cuddle and spoil your pet with treats (as long as they aren't on a strict diet hehe), play time, and kisses like there is no tomorrow! I will always be available via cell if you ever need to get a hold of me and I am more than willing to send you daily video/picture updates of your babies while you're away! Your pet will have the time of their fluffy, little lives in the comfort of their own home!! Can’t wait to meet y’all. :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed since I was 11 years old. I have a family full of animal lovers, and we won’t hesitate to care for any animal that needs it, from puppies, to senior dogs, to bearded dragons, and more! I have experience in every area of care and you can put your full trust in me to ensure your fur babies are safe when you aren’t home. I am currently doing online school and waiting to leave for flight attendant training, so I have loads of time to care for your pets! I would love to help in any way that I can. I have a fenced in yard and 2 male dogs who love to play, as well as our neighbors dog who comes over for play dates very often.
About: I currently work at a local veterinary clinic, which has given me valuable experience and a deeper understanding of animal care. I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and others, and I truly enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and medication administration. I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own and providing dependable, loving care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! 🐾 The schedule tends to change, most days during the week I am available anytime from 5 AM to 6:30 AM and anytime after 4:30PM. Every other weekend and I am available all day Saturday and Sundays. I will care for your pets at your home and will bath, feed, walk or anything you need from me! If you’d like to meet before to make you feel more comfortable with me being in your home that is completely fine with me as well!

Deann was prompt and friendly with her communication. I am new to town so this is the first time I havent had a friend/neighbor take care of my pup. She made this transition smooth and relaxed. I didnt worry while I was gone and my dog was completely happy when I got back. I would absolutely call on her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Portland is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $17 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 323 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
