“Rachelle was absolutely fabulous! Took Odie for walks and even took him to two different dog parks over the Weekend and sent lots of pics and updates plus I contacted her last minute she was flexible and quite frankly I was totally impressed with her handling of the dog and her 3&1/2 year old daughter was adorable with my dog as well. Highly recommend Rachelle”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Kaylee was great! My pups have some special needs and are not the.best rained. Kaylee did a fantastic job making them feel safe and happy. I will definitely look to book Kaylee again!”
“Matthew went above and beyond!! Very very kind person. Very professional. Left the house nice and took care of our kitties well and he even left the coolest gift and note at the end of it. Best Catsitter we’ve had and we’ve had. Highly recommend!!”
“Mark did a great job house sitting our cat and dog. Our dog also had a minor back injury that he helped give special care for. Lots of check ins and photo which we appreciated. Will definitely hire him again.”
“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”
“Janelle was fantastic! She stayed with our 11 year old dog in our home for a week, and we couldn't be more pleased. She took great care of our beloved dog and home (the house was cleaner than when we left). She enthusiastically followed my many instructions, keeping our dog's routines in tact while we were away, with lots of walks, snuggles, treats and pictures provided. She even took our dog on errands with her so she wouldn't be left home alone. I will use Janelle anytime we need a sitter and highly recommend her. I was also very impressed with her attention to detail, affection and consideration for my pup's welfare. Thank you Janelle!”
“Sarah came to my rescue on very short notice and took care of my older Golden Retriever. She sent photos of Winnie and kept me updated. I didn’t have time to fully prepare to have someone in my home and Sarah just rolled with it. She left my house in order and my dog seems happy. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.”
“Charlie was FANTASTIC! He was so good with our nervous dog (chihuahua mix) and really spent time to bond with her and make her comfortable. We got many pictures while we were gone of her cuddling with him and looking completely at ease. It really helped our own anxiety about being away from her for the first time since adopting her. We came home to both pets being happy and content. Charlie also left our home very clean. We’d book him again in a heartbeat!”
“Jordan took such good care of our babies!!! The house looked fabulous and our kiddos were all happy and healthy. Daily communication and medication dispensing was done without issue. We already have him rebooked for the end of the month.”
“Lisa was exceptional from start to finish! She’s an excellent communicator which made setting up for her to cat sit easy. She sent me updates and included cute little details about Coco which showed she cared about him & me! I will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Jin was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our puppy Jojo. We could tell the two of them bonded right away and I felt so at ease leaving for the weekend because I knew she was in such good hands. He even left adorable polaroids of their time together, 10/10 experience and we hope Jojo and Jin can hangout again!”
“Jackson took such great care of our pets and home when we were gone for a long vacation. They normally get pretty stressed when we are away, but we came home to happy and well-exercised animals! He also followed all of our specificities for caring for the house, left it sparkling clean, and put out fresh flowers. Such a nice thing to return home to after traveling! He met expectations and more!”
“Celeste was great! Our pups were taken care of and seemed really happy with Celeste. They’re hard to get to come around so that was wonderful! The house was clean when we got home and we came home to some pretty flowers! Huge thanks!”

We are so happy to have found Ella. She is conscientious, asks questions, and took such good care of our pups and other animals. She also has great common sense when we forgot our groomer was coming to the house she contacted us right away and verified it was a true appointment. We are looking forward to having Ella housesit for us again in the future.
Megan was great. We have two under-5-yrs German Shepherd mixes with a lot of energy. Megan took the time to meet them and ensure everyone was comfortable. While we were gone on our 4 day trip, she sent pictures and updates every day. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Recommend!
Courtney did an amazing dog house sitting and watching my dog and cat. She gave me lots of updates and left my house in amazing condition. I'd recommend her services to anyone looking for peace of mind over an extended vacation. Thanks again Courtney I'll definitely be reaching out to you the next time I leave town.
Mackenzie is a 'cat whisperer'. She stayed with my 2 geriatric kitties for a few days and did a wonderful job. Chloe has kidney disease and diabetes so requires insulin injections twice a day. She fell for Mackenzie right away. Mikko has kidney disease, thyroid issues and high blood pressure and requires pills twice a day. In all his 16 years, he has never warmed up enough to anyone to let them hold or pet him beyond a little pat on the head. He is a momma's boy and decided to display his upset at my absence by going on a hunger strike. After trying all the best tricks to get him to eat, Mackenzie contacted me about her concerns. We got an appetite stimulant from the vet, Mackenzie administered the meds and within hours, Mikko was both eating and (amazingly) sitting on her lap letting her brush him! That truly is an unprecedented thing. Her gentle way swayed him to trust her. I came home to two well cared for kitties and a spotless home. I will definitely ask Mackenzie to home and cat sit for me again.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Nate watch our dogs. Nate was very communicative from meet and greet to fulfilling watching our pups over the weekend. He was very willing to meet our needs and was warm and friendly. Nate is very down to earth. He meshed well with our pups, which put us at ease. Our pups were well cared for and he did a great job matching their energy levels (think little grandpa dog & horse sized dog). We would most definitely use Nate’s services again as well as highly recommended others book with Nate for care they can be confident in.
Rebecca is so kind and loving. Our animals were all so spoiled and loved while we were gone. We greatly appreciated receiving updates and cute pictures of our pets. Rebecca has an excellent communication style, and was a pleasure to have stay in our home with our pet family.
Brennan was wonderful with our two dogs and cat while we were away. He provided excellent care, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house in perfect condition when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Linn is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $79 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.

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 West Linn 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 West Linn 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 West Linn 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.
