“Thank you Haley for your time and patience with us and Bowie as we navigated this past few days. You did an awesome job and made myself and my husband feel very comfortable and know our dog and our home would be respected and cared for. We'll definitely be in touch soon!”
“Natasha was incredibly prompt with her response which I couldn't be more grateful for because it was last minute that we needed a sitter. Great updates and of course adorable photos. She was even kind enough to bring a package in for us that was out on the porch!”
“Deepika was amazing with my senior dog. Fluffy is a senior dog who needed someone with patience and understanding. Deepika embodied those qualities to the fullest, she was super patient with his potty accidents and made sure he received all the love while we were gone. She sent so many pictures and updates that left me feeling at peace while I was away. 100% would love and trust to have her watch fluffs again.”
“Lauren was fantastic. We had to leave our cat Charlotte home for almost 2 wks while we went back to NY for Xmas. Lauren gave me updates regularly, made sure Charlotte got all the love and even sent a couple pics! This was our first experience with Rover and will not hesitate to come back in the future!!”
About: Hi! My name is Jillian, and I love caring for dogs! I have enjoyed meeting lots of family’s and pets through using Rover the last couple of years. Prior to using Rover, I had also been a dog/cat sitter from multiple families in my neighborhood since I was 12. I have done daily dog walking, drop ins, as well as over nights for weeks at a time. I was also a volunteer at a Humane Society for 2 years. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and have a genuine love for them all. I am a travel occupational therapist that just moved to Carson City from Vermont. I’m working full time at Ormsby Post Acute rehab Monday-Friday until at least the end of October. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I love this opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet safe and happy!
About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.
About: I’m Carina, I’m currently home with my one year old and two sweet senior dogs, Gabby and Roscoe, whose easy pace these days leaves me extra time and love for more pets. I have a background in childcare and outdoor education, so I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading what a dog or cat needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am at home with my one year old, we have a very flexible schedule. We love spending our day with animals and happy to move our schedule around as needed. I offer walks , drop in visit or over night visit. Can’t offer boarding at my house. Communication with me is direct, respectful and easy.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. In my moms household I grew up with cats. In my dads household I grew up with dogs. I am always the number one person my friends and family go to when they need support/ help with their pets. I love helping people and fur babies. I am currently working full time, but I have availability everyday to make time for pets morning, noon, evening, and overnight. I am flexible and accommodating. I have experience with special meal requests for pets, dog walking, visits to the veterinarian, fur brushing, and cleaning up bathroom messes. I am able to follow the schedules that pets thrive on.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 12. Animals are my favorite people, and yes, I said people :) I would love to care for you furry friends when you are in need I currently work full time and most of my availability for Rover will be on Monday and Tuesdays. I could do some drop ins the rest of the days though :) I currently do not offer in home care as my apartment is pretty small. I would love to care for your fur babies inside of their home :)
About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)
About: I grew up caring for my family dog who had anxiety and helped train my mom's puppies, as well as dogsit for my friends occasionally. My family dog had pretty major anxiety so we did our best to make sure she was happy and anxiety free! We cared for her from the time she was a puppy until she passed away at 15, so I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs. I'm comfortable caring for all types of dogs. I love dogs to the moon and back, but since I can't have a pup of my own right now I'd love to take care of yours! As far as my schedule goes, I generally work from 8 to 4. For drop-ins, I have somewhat sporadic days off, so if I’m free I’m happy to help! For housesitting, I’m happy to stay at your house, or whatever works best!
About: I grew up with animals my whole life and I also currently animal sit. I also work at a doggy daycare called The Ruff House at the moment! I currently work Tuesday-Friday 7:30am till 4pm at The Ruff House. While I’m at work my boyfriend is home so theirs always someone at home. I live in an apartment but out back theirs a fenced in yard with turf and a fenced in place for dogs to go to the bathroom. Theirs also parks around where I live so plenty of places to go on walks! I like to take the dogs out to go to the bathroom every hour or every other hour and play with the dogs a lot to get out all of that energy!
“Katlyn took great care of our pup! Used solid discretion when needed, and did exactly what we asked of her! We’re very grateful to have her here in the gorge and as a neighbor. Thanks again for your help!!!”
“John took great care of our elderly dog and took away a lot of the stress involved with letting a stranger in your house to take care of your pets. I’m glad we found him and highly recommend him!”
About: I can administer medications, give your pet a bath, clean up yard poop, and be able to spend time with your pets with lots of love! I have several small dogs, I am with them and care for them daily with lots of Tender Love and care!! Time for you to take that vacation without worrying about your babies!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in The Dalles on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 96 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across The Dalles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a The Dalles stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 The Dalles. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
