“Our highly anxious dog had a great experience with Parrish! She sent lots of updates and pictures and helped all of us feel comfortable while we were apart. We will definitely continue to use her as our sitter!”
“Kimberly did an awesome job caring for our dog and house while we were out of town. She stayed in touch, gave us updates about the dog and definitely gave him tons of love and playtime, and the house was immaculate when we returned.”
“Christine was fantastic both as a pet sitter for our furry friend and with the house. It was our first time having a pet sitter and we never worried about our dog while we were gone. It was a huge relief to just go on a trip without the additional anxiety regarding the dog at home. We knew she was in great hands!”
“This is the second time that Mackenzie has sat for us, and she was wonderful as always! She was very on top of updates, and went out of her way to help and communicate with us when one of our dogs had a medical issue while we were away. I’m super grateful that we were able to find Mackenzie and hope to have her sit for us many more times in the future!”
“Sydney did a fantastic job watching our two fur babes and our place! Communication was A+!! Our house looked as if we had never left. The fur babes took to her instantly! We would highly recommend Sydney for all your pet sitting needs! We will 100% be back!”
“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Sophia was great! She responded quickly, met my two dogs, asked great questions about them, and then was amazing when I was away! I came home to two happy dogs that and a clean house. Will definitely keep using Sophia as long as she is available!”
“Lauren is amazing! It’s never easy leaving your fur baby, especially with someone new, even for a short time and entrusting your pet and home to someone. Lauren completely put all concerns to rest. She is totally focused and devoted to your pet. Excellent communication, txt msgs, photos, videos! Milo is an anxious little guy especially when it comes to me being gone, but he warmed up to her really well for the first time. I would definitely ask her back again without hesitation! Thank you Lauren for taking such good care of Milo and my home, you are a gem🥰”
“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!!”
“She was so great. Dogs were really happy and she even trimmed our doodles eyes so she could see. We are behind schedule for her grooming. :) Would have her again anytime we need to seek out a dog sitter again in future if she’d have us as clients again 🦋”
“Tayler was amazing! She stayed with Koda, sent lots of pictures/videos, and was very responsive. Thank you, we’ll definitely be reaching out for your services again 😊”
“Sydney was an awesome house sitter/petsitter. She spoiled all three animals and sent us timely updates and pictures. The house was left tidy. We will definitely be booking her for future sits!”
“Rachel was really communicative and very available for my dogs. They require some special medicine and care and she did a great job prioritizing it. The house was left clean and the dogs were very happy. We look forward to using her again.”
“Another five star weekend for Rachelle!! She walked odie took him to a dog park, he’s so good with children her 3&1/2 year old loves playing with humans he was of course well adjusted when I arrived home to meet them. Rachele is my number one Rover and I’ve had a few over the time we’ve been using this service she goes above and beyond, of course dog is fed and well taken care of but she picked up the house I’m quite sure it was better than she found it THANK TOU RACHELE!! I’ll call on you next time too!! Paul Gladstone OR”
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.

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.
Lauren is fabulous! My dogs quickly allowed her to be their friend.Even Ella who is afraid of everyone warmed up to her with a few hours. She gave my special needs dog extra cuddles and made sure he got his meds on schedule. I got pictures and updates to give me peace of mind. Definitely recommend her for your in home sitter needs and definitely will use her again.
Tabitha was the absolute best! My senior pup has never spent a night with someone she wasn’t familiar with and has the most random old lady quirks, so I wasn’t sure how she was going to settle with a stranger. Tabitha took on the challenge like it was no problem. She sent me regular updates and photos, made sure Kihei was comfortable, loved, fed and exercised. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my 4-legged baby and would book her again no question!
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.
Addy took exceptional care of our dogs and home while we were away for a long weekend. She brings genuine warmth and confidence to her work, and we had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. Her check-ins were always on time, and it was such a treat to receive photos of our happy pups. We came home to well-cared-for dogs and a tidy home. We couldn’t recommend Addy more highly!
Highly recommend! Abigail took amazing care of my two kittens for a week on very short notice and was very attentive. It was such a relief knowing everything was in great hands and I came home to happy kittens. Reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book again!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
