“This was my first Pet Sitter experience with Bradley and what I think stands out the most to me about Bradley is that he genuinely cared about and for our dog, Huxley, while we were away. I know a lot of people say that they love animals, but you could see the authenticity in Bradley as he greeted and played with Huxley. I highly recommend Bradley”

“My experience with Melody was fantastic she went above and beyond, truly the best pet sitting experience I have had. This was a super last minute booking after my previous sitter cancelled and she responded immediately and was willing to take over and show up instantly. She was super communicative and made me feel very comfortable, even going as far as giving me updates when she was leaving the house for less than 30 minutes. Not only did she send plenty of adorable photos of my cats but she cleaned up as well leaving my house in better shape than I left it. I would recommend Melody in a heartbeat she is the best.”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have always been “dog” person. I got my first dog when I was 5 and have had multiple dogs since. I was a dog walker for neighbors and friends during adolescence and my teen years.

I have a huge yard and a crate if needed! I also have an 11 year old who loves dogs and would love to interact with some new, friendly puppers.

About: Hey, I'm Nate, and I've always had animals in my life. I've owned seven dogs, several cats, and even some smaller pets over the years. I've also spent a good amount of time dog-sitting as well as caring for horses, so I'm comfortable looking after a variety of animals. I really enjoy getting to know each animal and its personality. I understand that every dog has its own needs, and I'm available for walking, washing, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm currently self employed, so my schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work with pet owners to find times that work for both of us. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I take that responsibility seriously. I'll follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I'm happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing how things are going.

About: 🐾 Lifelong Pet Lover & Trusted Caregiver 🐾 Hi! I’m Isabella — a devoted animal lover who has grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s truly part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior cats with special needs, I genuinely enjoy building trust and connection with every pet I care for. I currently own three cats, so I fully understand feline personalities — from the affectionate cuddle bugs to the independent observers. I also have hands-on experience administering cat inhalers, which means I’m comfortable caring for pets who require extra patience, attentiveness, and consistency. Your pet’s health and comfort are always my top priority. In addition to my personal experience, I’m a volunteer with the Humane Society, where I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments and backgrounds. This has strengthened my ability to read body language, adapt to individual needs, and provide calm, compassionate care — especially for shy, anxious, or rescue pets. I’ve also grown up with dogs and am very comfortable with their routines, energy levels, and unique personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I follow instructions carefully and love sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I don’t just watch pets — I treat them like family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry companion and provide the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💙 I am available every week day, including weekends. I am available early morning and late nights, unless I specify otherwise. And if I do, it will be posted somewhere on my account. Whatever you need me to do with your animal, I can do. As long as me and the animal are safe and have a healthy environment, I am completely fine with taking care of the animal the way you need me to.

About: I've spent years helping care for many animals. As a child I helped care for our family dog until we got another, then another, then another. By the time I was a teen I was helping my family out on our property to care for our three dogs, our many cats, our chickens, ducks, goats and Llama. I also had neighbors whose home I would frequently visit to help feed and care for their goats. I believe in animal rights. When I am working for you, I am not only here to make money but to apply my knowledge and the knowledge you share with me to serve the well being and needs of your furry friend. I will always stay focused and attentive on showing your pet the love, attention and respect that they deserve :) At the moment I make money through gigs and seasonal jobs. I love to live every day and every week doing something new with as much freedom as I can afford. My schedule is very open giving me lots of time for weekend and weekday bookings. I can do anything asked of me. If I haven't done something before it will not be difficult for me to learn if instructed. I love animals. I love working with them, caring for them and helping them and their owners feel comfortable and happy with the services I provide. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them, let them rest, crate them when asked or necessary, give them meds. Anything you need.

About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

About: Since 2021 I’ve fostered 2 cats and 2 dogs and have found them each their perfect forever homes. I love animals and love making sure that they’re cared for and taken care of. Trails, parks, and beaches, oh my! Oh the places that your little furry friend and I will go 🐶🐾🦮 As a veteran enrolled in law school full time, I understand the importance of time management and responsibility. Most of my availability will be during the week after class and in between studying, with more time typically opening up on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my apartment complex but I will make sure that your pet continues to feel right at home in their own environment. I’ll cater my care to any dietary or medical treatments and medications and will ensure that they are properly exercised.

About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.

“Erica is outstanding and we are so lucky we were referred to her. I always feel stressed when going out-of-town, and having Erica stay in our house with our 6 month old kitten provided such comfort to us. She is very organized, communicates so well, and gave our kitten lots of love and attention. We had a service call at our house that she easily took care of and our house was so clean when we returned (she really went above and beyond!). Also, Erica sent us cute photos and videos or our kitten, which was fun to receive while away. Thank you so much Erica!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Scio

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Scio is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $35 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 582 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scio. 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 Scio 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 Scio 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 Scio 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 Scio. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
