“Jessica did a great job caring for our cats. She took fantastic care of them, and we appreciated her daily updates, videos, & photos. Even our shy cat took to her right away. Highly recommend. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Madeline is THE BEST sitter. She is communicative and just gets our quirky cats. This is the second time we’ve had her sit for us and she’s our first call whenever we need someone to check in on our fur babies.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s routine and individual instructions. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would want for my own. 😄 I work a part-time job, but my schedule allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for pets. I’m careful to only accept bookings that fit within my availability so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, responsible, and flexible when scheduling, and I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure their pet’s needs and routine can be accommodated. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, pay attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure that the home is secure. I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is that I'm dependable and I treat every pet like my own. I've cared for cats of every kind, from shy rescues to playful kittens, and neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, and play with their pets. I also have years of experience with dogs, including regular sitting and walks for a friend's dog. I'm patient with nervous or shy animals and let them warm up at their own pace. I'm calm, attentive, and good at noticing small changes in appetite or behavior, so I can tell you right away if something seems off. I live in Camas, so I'm close by and easy to reach. I'm available weekday evenings and weekends, and I send photo and text updates after every visit so you always know how things went. Every new client gets a free meet-and-greet. Dog care is a regular part of my week, and I've been caring for dogs for years, starting with my friends' pets. I work a day job, so I'm available for walks on weekdays after 5pm and throughout the weekend. That means I can give your dog a proper evening walk after you get home late, or a relaxed weekend outing while you're out for the day. Because walking dogs is something I enjoy, I schedule my clients carefully and never rush. I keep my walks close to home in Camas, so I'm not stretched thin, and I'm on time. I plan ahead, so if your plans change or you need a last-minute walk, just message me and I'll do my best to fit it in. I usually take on only a few clients at a time, so each dog gets my full attention and I can build a routine with you and your pet. Your dog's safety comes first on every walk. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet so I can learn your dog's habits, triggers, and routine, and you can show me the leash, harness, and any commands or rules you use. I always keep dogs on a secure leash, stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and hazards, and avoid busy areas if your dog gets nervous. I bring water for warm days, pick up after your dog, and check the weather so walks stay comfortable. If your dog is tired or something seems off, I'll shorten the walk and let you know. After every walk, I send a photo and a quick update on how it went, including any bathroom breaks and behavior. When I'm in your home, I follow your instructions for keys, doors, and gates, make sure everything is locked and secure when I leave, and respect your privacy and property. If there's ever an emergency, I'll contact you right away and get your dog to your vet or an emergency clinic, and I'm happy to keep your vet's info on hand.
About: I’ve been dedicated to dogs for most of my life. My current best friend, Arty was a stray and then was at shelters for a long time before I adopted him. He had issues, but I didn’t give up on him. I took him to manners class and used marker training to work through his issues. He is now a well-balanced boy. He loves to pose for pictures, for treats, of course. I would love to care for your pet when you’re away, in your home or mine if your pet is a good fit with Arty. I am a fit and active retiree. I go for long walks every morning and work out at the gym four days a week. The rest of my days are dedicated to my dog and gardening. I have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to play and do zoomies. I have a large dog door and my house is dog friendly, with dog beds and throw rugs on a hardwood floor. I have a rear gate in my car and a dog hammock on the middle seat.
“Madelyn, thank you for taking such good care of Frodo! The pix are great, plus the extra info on how he’s been doing. When we returned from our trip today, Frodo was a happy, content cat — just as we love to see after being gone a few days.”
“Kaiea was fantastic. We would highly recommend her. She took such good care of our kitties. Our cats aren’t always the friendliest with new people but she did such a great job getting them acclimated to her. She always gave us detailed updates and made sure the daily tasks were completed, and went above and beyond cleaning for us. We appreciated you so much Kaiea!”
“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She went above and beyond what is expected from a sitter, and we felt confident that our baby was in good hands. Thank you Courtney!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Zahara did great with my kitten Earl Grey! He’s pretty nosy and active and she did a perfect job keeping him entertained and happy. We compromised well on his feeding schedule and her work schedule too. Earl LOVED having her he was always snuggly, playful, and happy in the photos!”
“Claire was a wonderful Sitter. She sent photos of our kitties frequently. She responded to our questions quickly. Our cats were very well adjusted when we returned. We would ask her to Sit again.”
About: I have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.
“Styler has been an amazing sitter for my kitty. I love how she always keeps me up to date with pics and other details about how my cat is doing. And I always come back to a happy cat! I will definitely be requesting for her services again.”
“Michaela recently met Vino and is working in a relationship with him. She is very kind, attentive to Vino’s needs and keeps communication open with us as parents. We can’t wait to continue partnering with her for Vino’s care.”
About: I was a foster parent for Austin Pets Alive out of Texas for 13 years and through Laramie Peak/Oregon Humane Society for the past two years. I have experience with felines and canines of varying medical needs ranging from pills and suspensions to management of diabetes. I have a strong history and enjoy working with/training dogs from the most confident personalities through the intense pullers, overstim doggos, and reactive canines. I believe in respecting you and your animals’ boundaries and utilizing positive reinforcement only. I have open availability weekday afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I love those early morning walks/visits as well as afternoons and evenings. If your baby is most comfortable being walked when other four legged friends aren’t around, I would love to help accommodate as I don’t hesitate coming at the wee hours or staying off the beaten path. Have a higher energy dog that likes to run and/or hike? I’m a runner and volunteer for the dog run team at Oregon Humane Society. When caring for your animal, everyone’s safety is of utmost importance! Share with me all the nuance of your baby’s personality and I’ll help them have the best and safest time! I am very mindful of my environment and respectful of other people’s and animals spaces.
About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.
About: I’ve grown up with animals, volunteering with pet rescues as a foster home, as well as owning various of my own! I’ve had a range of pets like frogs, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, and small snakes! I’m really patient and open to a many of pet behaviors from quiet and reserved to crazy and fun! I’m a full time SAHW, so my schedule is able to be completely catered to personalize each pet client’s experience in my presence. For boarding, potty breaks can be as often as needed, and activities can be flexible for any pet’s needs. My home is an open-plan style, so there’s lots of room for everyone and their activities! I have multiple cat towers, dog beds, toys, rugs, and carpet areas for luxury laying down time. I have rooms to separate pets that may not get along, and I am experienced in handling uncomfortable situations in my own space. When I attend a client’s home, I really like for my pet clients to get most of my attention as scheduled, since my partner can always take care of our own pets while I’m away. I’m patient, I get as comfortable as allowed to help the environment for the pet, and I love to see other pets as my own friends.
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes all my life. I am the current owner of 3 cats and a large dog. I will always make sure a pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently working part time on a set schedule in the afternoon so I’ll be free for midday walks and morning and evening feeding. I cannot house pets in my home as my dog is reactive and I think it’s best to keep pets in their own homes when there is a new situation like an new sitter so they are as comfortable as possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Washougal
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Skylar treated Miss Kitty like she was her own, and her updates made us feel completely at ease while we were traveling. She was punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable and well cared for. Coming home to a happy cat is the best review we can give. Thank you, Skylar—we’ll definitely be booking with you again!
We loved having NIKKI care for our cats while we were away. She is so sweet, and very professional. I know immediately upon meeting her that she would do a great job. During our trip she checked in with us each day to give us a little update on our fur babies, including taking the time to send pictures. Both of our cats seems right at home with her... and snuggled in close for cuddles when she came over. Nikki followed our instructions to the letter. I definitely hope to work with her again sometime, and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
I highly recommend Carter! They took excellent care of my cat, while I was away. From our initial meeting, it was clear they genuinely love animals. They provided regular updates and adorable photos. Carter went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect. I will definitely book them again for my next trip!
Lily took great care of our kitties for an extended holiday trip, giving daily updates so we knew the kitties were doing well! She was proactive in asking about a few house-care related things, and when we came back, all was well with the cats and the house. We'll be back in touch for future trips!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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 .
