“Lisa was able to accommodate us on very short notice and took wonderful care of our pups. We could tell during the meet and greet that she truly loves dogs. She was able to be patient and gentle with Harmony who is nervous about getting her harness on. They were totally calm when we returned, we would recommended Lisa and use her services again!”

About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time

“Raven is great. I appreciated that she made a special trip to our house to meet our pup before the scheduled "sitter" day. She asked questions and made sure she understood the routine we follow. Raven is respectful of our house and property. She took our pup on several walks and made sure he had his play time in the house and then cleaned up all the toys. We will definitely use Raven again.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

We felt comfortable with her navigating our unique senior dogs needs and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our doggy. We also felt really comfortable with Megan in our space and I’m pretty sure she left our house better than she found it, it was so clean and tidy. We are grateful we found Megan!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 10 years! Between looking after family pets, pet sitting for friends, and spending a summer interning and volunteering at a veterinary clinic, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes overnight house sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and caring for pets who require medication. During my time at the veterinary clinic, I also had the opportunity to assist with day-to-day tasks and gain valuable experience in an animal care environment. I know that pets are family, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or needs a little extra attention, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members! I’m a recent University of Oregon graduate and am currently back in my hometown for a little while, so I’m excited to spend some of my extra time doing something I love—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible right now, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines, whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. With my current flexibility, I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I currently have several pets in my own home, so I don’t offer pet sitting or boarding at my house. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe, relaxed, and surrounded by familiar things! I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, especially while their owners are away. I always make sure to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I’m also mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, maintaining a clean environment, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and comfortable.

We will definitely call on Maggie again!”

About: Hello all, I'm taking a hiatus from the PT and have been a professional dog boarder for 10 years. I work remotely so your dog will get a lot of attention, affection , organic whole food treats (green minerals, tuna, healthy snacks) daily walks, a lot of play time in a huge fenced backyard. In the summer, they have complete access throughout the day. I take them to the River:bike path .5 miles away, the school and walks around the neighborhood. And with consent, to Zumwalt dog park out in Veneta. I rarely take more than 3 dogs at one time. 2 dog beds, couch, occasional in bed (for those needy fur babies. As a former PTA, I give attention to dog’s body mechanics and often massage spinal muscles. Background in dog nutrition with healthy treats and suggestions. Will educate clients on how to maximize their dogs health. What I require from dogs are: zero aggression (food, toy, etc.). Please bring : dog bags, food dishes, leashes, all medication . I do have a few spare beds . I work from home part time. So, the dogs I board will get most of my attention throughout the day. I don’t want to run errands and never gone for morw thaj 4 hrs at a time. I offer bully sticks, grain free treats, toys, deer antlers, etc. I leave the back door open for all day access (in the summer), and in the winter, I take them out back at least 5 times a day. There is a kiddy pool, balls, frisbees, etc.

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

I grew up along side furry friends and enjoy any time I get to provide genuine care to animals of any kind! I am currently unemployed so I am very flexible!

I have experience working with both small and big animals and am good at handling high stress situations if they come up. I have studied how to do CPR on both cats and dogs and have leaned how to help when a cat or dog is choking.

About: Hey! Im Hanalei and I have been providing pet care to all kinds of animals sense the ages of 10 years old. I have booked outside of rover multiple times to avoid fees and have many references available! I was born in an animal loving home so naturally I am very attracted to animals! I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a very young age. My first pet was a leopard gecko when I was 4 years old, I took care of him myself, cleaning his cage, feeding him, socializing with him, and he is 16 years old today! I’ve had plenty of experience with all types of animals growing up. I started dog walking at 12 years old, and pet sitting at 14, in the past few years though I have really found it my passion to care for animals. I do pet care for my parents dogs atleast twice a month, I understand it can be overwhelming and expensive to makesure someone can watch your pet, or that they have the exercise they need which is why I offer fair price pet sitting and dog walking, if you need a routine pet sitter or walker on a budget I am especially the one for you! I am trustworthy, loving and patient, spending time and nurturing animals is truly something I look forward to and am passionate about! I am here for YOU and YOUR PET! Feel free to reach out anytime. My availability is extremely flexible! Available most days! I have a flexible schedule because I also work part time as a nanny, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs.

About: I grew up with a black Labrador for 10 years and helped out with feeding him, playing with him, and walking him. Over the past year, I have boarded a cute pug on several occasions. This experience inspired me to join Rover. I absolutely love dogs and am passionate about caring for them and looking after them in the best possible way! I’m currently an elite runner who trains 2-3 hours daily, with a flexible schedule. I am excited to look after dogs and show them a good time! I have a spacious, unfenced yard in the countryside. I do not have a dog of my own or any pets. I am reliable regarding following instructions pertaining to the dog’s needs.

About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 618 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Royal walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Royal maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Royal choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
