About: I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, crazy cats and shy cats. I know each animal has a different way of life. I take into consideration all of their favors and sensitivities. I want each animal to feel loved and as comfortable as possible while they are away from their parents. I mostly have open availability. I usually only work at night for about five hours for about only three days a week. I have a pretty flexible schedule and if you contact me, we can work something out! I live in an apartment. I have a small backyard with no fence. I have a park nearby where I can walk dogs. I am also willing to come to the animals home and care for them there as well.
About: Hi, I’m Nate. I’ve spent years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take pride in providing consistent, thoughtful care. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m calm, observant, and reliable — and I always follow your dog’s routine and preferences closely. I’m comfortable with leash handling, senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups that need a solid outlet. You’ll always get clear communication, prompt updates, cute photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Let me know what your dog needs — I’m happy to help. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the dogs I’m caring for — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I keep a consistent routine to make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need, and I build in time for updates and communication with pet owners. Because I work remote and on a flexible schedule, I’m able to stay focused and present with each animal I care for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so I can meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I always follow care instructions closely — including feeding, medications, and any training routines — and I keep things calm and consistent to help pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates so owners know their pet is doing well while they’re away.
About: I love allllll the animals! Not just cats and dogs, but lizards and snakes too! Tell me all about your pets. I live up on the hill by OHSU. I also spend time with my partner, their dog & 2 cats in Salem. My cat’s name is Flapjack! He’s about 18, and I’ve leash trained him. He also has a stroller. I love taking him for walks. He lets me trim his nails too! But we’ve worked up to that. I would do 1 claw at a time, followed by a treat. I also let him run his face on the clippers, and told him it’s his. Now I can sit down and trim all his claws, while he purrs. 🥹 I am a small business owner. I have 2 booths in vintage malls, and an online shop. So I’m pretty flexible, but I do typically get some work done during the week. Let me know if your pup likes adventure, or is more of a homebody. Some pups enjoy stopping by my place to do some work, and others prefer staying within their comfort zone. :) I am very respectful of other people’s space. I never go through anything in anyone’s home, or step foot in any room I’m not supposed to. I’m very respectful of instructions. I don’t allow guests over anywhere I’m sitting, unless we’ve talked about it first. I’d also like to know what your availability is like while you’re away. I send a lot of pictures and videos, but I also don’t want to bother you too much. I have ADHD and sometimes I forget things, or struggle with time blindness. If you have written instructions for me to reference, that’s awesome! If not, nbd but I may text you to ask a question more than once, and I apologize ahead of time for that!
About: I have professional dog walking/sitting experience from a license company in Atlanta called PetSitGirls. I understand how important communication is in building trust between pet owners and myself with me. You will get an update with every walk or visit and I will ensure you get nothing but professional dog walking/sitting experience with me. I currently work from home part time and am available to watch pets anytime. I do not leave home with animals in it for any extended period of time. I live in a safe walkable area and am able to give walks at any time. I am currently working from home and available to keep your pet company 24/7. I have a very clean, smoke free home.
About: I love cats and dogs, and grew up with large dogs. I walk and run a LOT so dogs usually love being taken care of by me. Cats feel special as I make sure to give them love if they want it, otherwise they have food, clean water, and a clean litter box every day! Pets tend to really like me and although I'm not a professional dog trainer, I know how to encourage positive behavior. I'm super responsible and reliable, and I have been asked to house sit numerous times since I'm also really clean and quiet and take very good care of people's homes. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule. 9a until evening. And I am available on the weekends. If I stay at the house, that can happen any time during the week. I have been entrusted to care for many homes and cherished pets, and do so with great care! I'm very clean, quiet, and responsible. I love being able to take dogs for walks and to be able to give cats attention or at least fresh food!
About: Animal lover, adventure buddy, and professional cuddle giver! I treat your pets like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and a few extra belly rubs along the way. I am working as a massage therapist. The hours are shorter than a regular work day so there’s plenty of time for long walks and playtime. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to feeding schedules, I treat every pet like my own!
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I personally cared for my Shiba Inu for three years, including daily feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and keeping a consistent routine. I also provided in-home care for a kitten for two months, making sure she was fed on schedule, had a clean litter box, received plenty of playtime and attention, and felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. I have also cared for a friend’s Golden Retriever for a month while they were traveling abroad. I handled his daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, while giving him plenty of companionship and attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, personality, and care instructions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work at a clinic on weekends, but I don’t have a regular job during the rest of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available during most weekdays and can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets, whether they stay in my home or I care for them in their own home. I don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs, and I’m respectful of the home and the owner’s routines and rules. I genuinely enjoy animals, reading, and going for walks, so I’m happy to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day, especially if they enjoy companionship and interaction. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and believe in responsible, science-based pet care rather than making assumptions about what a pet needs. I’m also happy to keep owners updated with regular photos and short messages, so they know how their pet is doing while they’re away. My goal is simply to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.
About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
About: I’ve taken care of small dogs to larger ones, cats, and Guinea pigs for friends and friends of friends. I go above and beyond to take some of the dogs on fun trips if owner allows such as pumpkin patches, beach, or parks. I’m responsible for feeding and walking their pets and of course giving them my love and attention! I currently have a more flexible schedule where I can take care of your pets! As I get a full time job, I will be less available but I will always communicate with you when the time comes. I can give updates however much the client would want in forms of texts, pictures or videos. I can crate the dogs if needed and will always supervise the dogs when outside even in a fenced yard.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since elementary school. Training horses and dogs has been my passion. Understanding dogs instincts and pack language helps me better serve their unique needs and personalities. My 35 years of animal care encompasses dog sitting, training, flying cross country on cabin with pup, breeding, and rearing physically and emotionally solid pups. I’ve ventured with my 4-legged buddies on hikes, walks, beach trips, long car drives, hotel stays, retirement homes, schools, river floats, horse rides, ranch work, and river walks. Living in the beautiful PNW there’s always fun to have with our pooches! I’m a work at home mom with four children and a beautiful tribe of animal, loving people. Kids and animals have routines to thrive. There’s always someone home to be with the dogs so no fur babe left behind on our watch. We go places the dogs can ride with us. Exploring the logging roads and nature walks are everyone’s favorite. Fenced yard and doggo doors allow for in and out as they please while at home. Routine starts with breakfast. Then it’s playtime with the kids while farm chores take place. If your dog eats 3x a day we’ll do lunch, more playtime, rest time since this is equally as important. Mental stimulation to stay sharp means using snuffle rugs, treat dispensers, hand feeding meals while reinforcing manners and obedience. My kids have a schedule and boundaries as do the animals giving everyone peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and I’m deeply committed to providing the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, handling leashed walks, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. My priority is making sure your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve recently moved back to the Portland area to finish school online, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pets! Text me and let me know how I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs! I prioritize following all instructions as their written, from feeding schedules, walks, to adhering to any medical needs your pet may have. I will provide the utmost care and respect for your home and animals to ensure everyone feels at ease.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes, puppies to seniors. I’m patient, loving, kind and reliable, and I treat every animal like family! Flexible & Open Schedule! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve, morning, afternoon, or evening! I follow your pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment, like a second home.
“Erica was WONDERFUL! She responded promptly to our last minute request for a drop-in visit for our pup, Olive. Erica sent us updates about the visit with photos! We hope to use Erica’s services again in the future. I submit my highest recommendation”

Breezey is my go to for taking care of my boy, Kevin. She is flexible and reliable. She cares about him so much and notices the smallest shifts in his mood, energy or movement.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Saint Helens is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 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 5,947 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saint Helens. 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.
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 Saint Helens 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
