“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
“Bree was an excellent housesitter for us and took great care of Nacho. She was friendly, responsive, and respectful throughout, following our instructions perfectly and communicating clearly while we were away. She was also flexible with her start and end times on either end of our trip which was really helpful for us. I’d definitely have Bree take care of Nacho again.”
“Veronica was great! My pets were well cared for and my house was in good order. She communicated well with me and accommodated all my requests. I am booking her again right now!!”
“Great experience with Barb watching our dog and cat while away for a few days. Good communication, great check-in pics (pro photographer level!), and the pets looked well cared for when we got back. First time using Rover and glad to be giving a 5 star review.”
“Lauren was incredible and thoughtful! She took great care of my bulldog! She was very easy to communicate with, gave us peace of mind during our trip away! Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Alexis was fantastic. She was very friendly, communicative, easy to work with, and best of all she did a great job with our pup. Definitely recommend and would use Alexis again.”
“Valentina has such a sweet, kind demeanor. She was great with our timid Chihuahua but also able to handle our wild/young bigger dog. She took great care of our home while house sitting too. Shes an absolute gem!”
About: I have over 10 years experience both professionally and privately with dogs and other animals. I see pets as part of the family and am dedicated to their nurturing care. I am quite physically fit and will run with your dog if you'd like. I also can take care of cats or small animals if needed. I have worked for dog hotels, pet stores and personally house/pet sat for people. I have volunteered at shelters and rescues and can administer medications if needed! I love spending time with animals and would never leave one in a bad situation! I can deal with any size of dog and am experienced at reading temperaments. I am extremely reliable and use honest as my policy for life. Your pet is in caring and experienced hands with me :)
“Shaolin was fantastic! I could tell my pup was in good hands, she got comfortable with Shaolin right away. She did a great job at providing pictures while staying at my home. The updates were wonderful and much appreciated. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Our three cats were happy and the garden and house were well cared for. Danielle was easy to communicate with. I would definitely call on her again when I have the need for a house sitter.”
“My little one is very timid and shy and so I have had a lot of anxiety around needing to find a new dog sitter recently. Shannon was a breath of fresh air! She was so patient and respectful of my dogs needs. It was reassuring knowing my little lady was as comfortable and calm as she could be while I was away. The only downfall was the realization of how in high demand Shannon is. If you have the opportunity to book with Shannon, no second guessing is needed. You couldn’t find better!”
“Even for a short visit of a few hours (new home, nervous dog) Lisa's professionalism shone through: Our Izzy was taken for a good walk, a trip to the backyard, and had plenty of enriching/calming attention. Everything we needed and more!”

Feel free to message me, and we can work something out. When I'm not taking my own pet out for adventures, I'd love to care for your fur babies! I am detail oriented, and have experience working with escape-prone pets, and keeping them safe. I love working with pets in clean environments, and believe that your pets deserve only the best care.
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tigard
Jessica is AWESOME! She took great care of our little guy Chewie, provided regular updates and great pictures. They did crafts together, watched Yellowstone and got lots of great walks and treats! She left our place clean and tidy as well as leaving us some yummy human treats 😊. We will for sure use Jessica again and highly recommend her to care for your special family members!
Iliana was exceptional! We have two small dogs and this was our first non-family pet sitting experience. Iliana provided excellent communication with daily updates and photos. The dogs loved their daily walks. She went above and beyond with taking care of the house as well. We came home to very happy dogs and a very clean house. We would highly recommend Iliana!
We had a great experience with Liz and can easily give her 5 stars! She took great care of all 4 of our pets and our home, and kept us updated with daily pictures and clear communication. We came back to happy pets and a well-cared-for house, and we'd gladly book with her again.
Al did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. Al took great care of them and our house. Good communication throughout, too. Al even brought the cats and our dog some toys, which they love! Will definitely contact Al for future bookings and highly recommend!!
Kathryn is brilliant. She's kind, attentive, thorough and was an absolute trooper when my little Zoey came down with a UTI while I was gone. She went above and beyond with a pupper that had unexpected incontinence, cleaning up after her and taking such good care of her. She even took my pup's dog bed to her own house to run it through her own, larger washing machine. She's a true 11 out of 10!! Thank you, Kathryn!
Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!
Marc is an incredible pet sitter! He recently watched our two cats, Mufasa and Simba, and our dog, Bergie, and we could not be happier with the care he provided. Taking care of three pets with different personalities and needs is no small task, but Marc handled it flawlessly. He was attentive to the cats' routines and made sure Bergie got plenty of exercise, love, and attention. Throughout our time away, Marc kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. He is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets. We highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking him again!
Heather was very professional, communicative and loving to our 3 dogs. We have a German shepherd and two pugs that have different energy levels and needs and she seemed to adapt well to all of them. Our only worry is that we won’t meet their expectations when we return as they seemed to get a ton of love and attention from Heather. Would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tigard is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $87 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 4,573 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tigard. 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 Tigard 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 Tigard 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 Tigard 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.
