“I am so very happy that I found Lisa. She stayed with my two little dogs for 10 days while i was out of the country. Knowing that she was there with them enabled me to enjoy my travel without worry. One of my dogs was finishing medications and she knew exactly what to do to make sure he took them. My dogs also think she is the best!!”


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.
“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.”

“Adria has taken care of our 13-year old corgi, WallE, twice over the past couple of months. They are old friends and it is endearing to see WallE brighten up and trot as fast as his short legs could carry him when he sees Adria. They always have a great time and have the pictures to prove it. When we are on vacation, so is WallE…with Adria! We highly recommend Adria if you’re looking for a pet and house sitter you can trust. She’s well worth it!”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

“Leigh was amazing! Our Monty was so comfortable with her. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. It was great to see how relaxed and happy he was. We look forward to working with Leigh again and we highly recommend her services!”

About: Words cannot describe the love I have for animals, so if you ever need a break I would give them just as much care as their owner of not more. Your pets are my Allstars! I’m currently working part time at Mod Pizza in the mornings 5 days a week sometimes 6, I would be home no later than 11, shifts vary but still have plenty of time for animal care during the day. I have a fenced backyard and a big old friendly dog who doesn’t know what personal space means and loves to play! I have a medium sized crate if anything becomes too much for the pet as well as a spacious room for more privacy and space.
“We are so thrilled with our experience with Alysha! We have a very timid rescue pup and a super mellow cat... both of whom craves lots of TLC. Alysha was our first Rover experience and she set the bar high! I'm a bit of a helicopter mom, so the loads of pictures and updates she sent during our days away were ultra-reassuring. She even helped us coordinate our next Rover booking in a pinch! Our pup had a ton of adventures while we were gone, too, which we know he loves. So grateful for Alysha!!!”

“I was so impressed by Sha's rapport with my animals. She agreed to a long stay with 2 unruly puppies, 2 older dogs and a cat afraid of new people. I felt bad about leaving her with my gang of critters and for so long, almost 12 hours, but she handled them well and I was able to fully enjoy the event I attended without worry. Sha clearly has extensive knowledge about different animals and displays that when she interacts with them. On my arrival home, my animals were fed properly and my house was in good order and Sha survived with a smile on her face. I absolutely recommend Sha to anyone, especially if they have numerous and diverse animals. Sha has established herself as my go to pet and house sitter. My thanks to Sha for providing care I can trust so I can get a break from my menagerie.”
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.

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I know how important it is to find pet care that’s both reliable and affordable. That’s why I offer caring, dependable pet sitting at a price that works for your family! I document everything, even the funny moments 😆. I’m not afraid of dog poop or quirky behaviors. I’ll give your furball all the love and attention they need from walks and playtime to belly rubs and snuggles. Pets bring me so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both high and low energy dogs, shy and extroverted. I love every moment. If you’re looking for trustworthy care that fits your budget, I’d be honored to help! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide pet care on weekends and any day after 2 PM. I can work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs and ensure their pets receive reliable, attentive care and plenty of love while they are away. My pupper is living with my parents and not with me, so if you have a furball that doesn’t like other animals. It’s all good here 😌👍. I always make sure to give animals space and to not force interaction. Regarding other homes, I follow the moto of: If they don’t even go near to smell you, do not go near them. Wait for that moment to come. 🍀
About: “What sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets—I pay attention to them. I notice their moods, their routines, and what makes them feel safe. I know how important consistency and trust are, so I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone, so I make sure you feel comfortable too, with updates and clear communication.” “Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m organized and reliable, so I don’t overbook and can give each pet the time and care they deserve.” I live in an apartment with no yard, but I’ve always made daily walks and neighborhood outings a priority. I previously cared for my dog for 16 years in a similar setup, so I’m used to providing consistent exercise, attention, and structured routines outside of having a yard.”
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.
“Upon returning from our week long vacation our home was very clean and tidy. The dogs were happy and healthy. Lisa communicated during our vacation with updates on the dogs. No issues with the care Lisa provided and we felt that she was honest and trustworthy. Thank You, Memoriee”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 625 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Royal. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
