“Megan did a fantastic job caring for our cats. She took great care of them, sending updates & photos, and bringing in some surprise packages that showed up while we were gone. Even our shy cat took to her very quickly. Highly recommend. Thank you, Megan!”
About: I have been pet sitting around my neighborhood for years and am very trust worthy! I am starting nursing school and would love to make extra money on the side by loving and taking care of animals while studying for my bachelors!! I am currently in nursing school and will be living at home and studying. I can drive wherever to pet sit, walk dogs, or be there to cuddle your fur babies!! I have one dog in my family, 1 year old Rottweiler German Shepard mix!! I have watched both younger dogs, senior pups, and many cats!!
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: Personal experience with wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and many totally normal animals that rover won’t allow me to reference in my experience. Willing and able to watch and care for large and small animals. Rates vary depending on number of animals and species. I currently stay at home and my children and grown, allowing me flexibility and availability to care for animals round the clock, meeting difficult medication schedules or potty breaks. I offer services in clients homes only and will provide food and water on schedule, dishwashing for pet dishes as needed, regular dog walking/poop removal, litter box cleaning, medication administration as needed, brushing and playtime. I am also able to provide care for farm and exotic animals with specific care instructions.
“My boys did great with Madelyn and are so excited to have her back! 😄 She is super communicative and sweet and takes the time to get to know your fur babies and respects their personalities. She is wonderful!!!”
About: I grew up with Dachshunds in my family for over 15 years, and I’ve had my own dog for the past two years. I’ve been lucky to share my life with furry friends! I love spending time playing and cuddling with them！ I work from home, so I get to spend lots of quality time with my furry babies. We visit the dog park a couple of times a week, and on weekends, we love going on hikes together. It’s such a joy to share these moments with them! We have a backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry baby company. We’ll make sure your pup has fun, stays safe, and feels happy while they’re with us!
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of various ages, breeds, and personalities. I've cared for senior pets with health conditions and high-energy puppies. I love to take dogs on walks and spend time with them outside. I make sure to spend lots of my time with the pets that I am caring for so that they have time to play and be around someone instead of being lonely. I am currently working part-time during the week and have open weekends. This is perfect if you need a weekend sitter or someone to be around during the week! I have lots of time during the week to take pets on walks, let them outside, and feed them. I will be caring for pets inside your home where they are comfortable. I can spend as much (or as little) time inside your home as you wish.
“Gema took great care of our little man (17 yr old dachshund/schnauzer rescue). She was sweet, patient, and super communicative while we were out of town. Will definitely welcome Gema back any time!”
About: Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, I provide personalized care, fun playtime, and plenty of belly rubs for your furry family member. With a calm presence, flexible availability, and a true love for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. Walks, cuddles, feeding, meds; I’ve got it covered! It’s just me and my two teenagers in the house - they are 17 and 19 and both have their own cars so I rarely see them! They’ve grown up around having a dog, and continually pressure me to have another one 😵💫 We had a bully breed mix, Celine Dion who sadly passed from old age in 2019. She had diabetes towards the end of her life, so I’m familiar with giving medication/shots if necessary. Since then we’ve regularly looked after our friends’ dogs until we fostered Simba in 2024 - we had him for 10 months until he was adopted. Because of having family in England, I want to be able to travel there frequently so am not ready to have a permanent dog again yet, but I LOVE having dogs come and stay with me when my calendar allows. I work from home so have flexibility in my routine and am always available for my visitors’ needs. I like to take a morning walk, and an evening one too. I’m not away from home often. I have a fully fenced yard and my neighborhood has beautiful walking trails, that I use whether I am walking a dog, or just walking alone. I’ve fostered rescue dogs and have experience of high anxiety dogs. I’m 6 feet tall and strong, and my last foster was great with people but not so much with other dogs we met on our walks, so I’m used to avoiding them, if necessary! I am happy to send photos to you whilst your dog is in my care, and will communicate with you as frequently as you would like.
“Kaiea is an incredible pet sitter! From the photos she sent, it was clear our cat really liked her — which says a lot. She was reliable, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our trip. We have a couple of automatic litter boxes that are notoriously finicky and often break down. Of course, they decided to stop working while we were out of town. Thankfully, Kaiea was able to troubleshoot the issue and get them up and running again — a huge relief! On top of that, I have a fairly large garden with lots of plants that need regular watering. While that’s definitely not part of the typical pet-sitting job, she went out of her way to take care of them as well. When we returned, our cats were happy, the house was in great shape, and even the garden looked fantastic. We already have several more trips planned, and it’s such a comfort knowing we have someone trustworthy and caring to look after our pets (and plants!) while we’re away.”
“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!”
“Nicole provided great communication, professionalism and warmth. She provided us with peace of mind that our diabetic cat would get the care he needs while we were out of town. She will absolutely be a crucial part of our pet-care for all future needs!”
“Claire was wonderful! She took great care of my dogs during drop-in visits and gave special attention to my older dog as she was recovering from a surgery. Highly recommend her for drop-in care needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washougal
Megan provided care to my German Shepard and Retriever Labrador over a long weekend getaway. I appreciated that she communicated when issues arose, sent pictures of the boys to ease my mind, and was flexible upon our return as we arrived back three hours earlier than expected. I would definitely trust her to care for my pets in the future.
Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs during drop-in visits for feedings. Our two senior dogs are on a plethora of medications, and their meal and medication routine is somewhat complicated. Angela carefully followed our instructions, made sure they received all of their medications, and ensured they ate their meals. She had originally been scheduled for overnights, but I ended up having to cancel my trip because I became very sick. Angela was incredibly flexible with the change in plans and came for drop-in visits instead to help out with the dogs. She communicated with me upon each arrival and made sure all of our dogs’ needs were met. She even went above and beyond by watering our flowers and cleaning up the dog run while I was unable to do it myself. I really appreciated her reliability, flexibility, and care for our dogs. I would absolutely have Angela care for them again!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washougal is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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.

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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washougal. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
