“Lindsey was great! He watched my dogs at my house for 5 days and he did an excellent job communicating with us daily, sending pics and updates on the pups. House was clean when we returned. He had good training tips as well. He even covered up our outdoor furniture for us when it started raining, which was much appreciated. I would rebook, dogs seemed very happy with him.”
“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 🦋”
“Mackenzie was immediately comfortable with the dogs. She was punctual. She sent pics and updates & very friendly. She was respectful of our home as well. Will definitely use her 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!”
“Avalon did an A+ job - our dogs loved her. She walked them and played fetch in yard with them. Also, she left the house neater than she found it. She is a true dog lover and we highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Mercedes did a great job taking care of our pup two different times. She was very communicative and showed up / left right on team, leaving our house in great shape. She treated our dog like her own and he seemed very happy throughout her stay with him!”
“I was beyond impressed with Parrish. She is an absolute ANGEL. My dog (and myself) are nervous wrecks, and I’ve never left her with someone new before. We both instantly loved her and she took the best care of my girl. Couldn’t recommend her enough- anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animals.”
“sydney was great! very thorough in making sure she had all the info needed to care for my dog. got a few updates and he seemed happy and well taken care of! i would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“It was great to work with Kallie! She communicated with us while we were away to make sure she was handling medication correctly and checked the mail for more medication to arrive. She contacted our daughter to confirm the handover to her at the end of the weekend. Kallie was very responsible and we would definitely like to work with her again.”
“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!”

About: I have trained my dog as a service animal from ages 14-16. He is able to do tasks such as harm prevention, getting an adult, and deep pressure therapy. He also knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, roll over, wait, stay, and "all done" I have experience rescuing and fostering a puppy, potty training him and teaching him basic commands. I have a cat and have cat sitted for many years for neighbors. I also took care of my teachers baby bunny in 2018, as she entrusted me out of every student to take care of the bunny, Saturn. As a student currently in community college at PCC, and a future RN, I am busy with school. Thanks to PCC and modern technology however, I am able to do most of my classes online through individual learning. I am only doing one class in person (ASL), twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30-12:30. Other then that, I have no weekly commitments I have to attend, leaving me open to do anything you require me to for your fur babies! Starting in September, I am starting my CNA program which will be full-time but we can discuss the Fall term in depth once I finish my Summer schooling. If I am allowed to bring your pets to my home, I have a lovely sprawling 1,000 SQFT backyard with lots of grass and area to run in. I also have my own dog (professionally trained and not a barker) who loves other animals (including cats!) so your baby can play with him if you request it. If not, I can put him in an entirely different area so they won't interact. My neighborhood, Robinwood, is absolutely beautiful to walk around, with a public playground, trails, and a river a block away I can take your dog to if you wish! In your home, I will do what you ask me to, whether its just hanging with your dog outside, feeding them, cleaning up a bit around the house, or just dropping in to say "hi" and get some playtime in. Just let me know!
“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!”
“Tabitha did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs, both of whom are anxious pups. She stayed with them and provided comfort and support that I believe made their time apart from me much easier on them. The night I returned, she had calming music playing on the t.v. for them, and she made sure the house was as clean as I had left it. I would highly recommend Tabitha for your pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Amir took terrific care of our dogs and house! He sent us photos and helpful updates throughout the week. When we returned, our pups looks relaxed and happy. Looking forward to having Amir spend more time with our dogs and I highly recommend him to others!”
“Mark is an incredible dog sitter and house sitter. He took excellent care of our puppy, made sure she had lots of love and exercise, and left our home even cleaner than it was when he got there. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos of our puppy so we always had peace of mind knowing she was doing well. I will definitely be contacting him every time we go out of town!”
“Carly is amazing! She took care of our two cats, puppy and goats with such care and thoroughness. We got lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel completely at ease while on vacation. To make matters even more impressive - our home looked BETTER than how we left it. Sparkling clean. We'll definitely have her back. Thank you Carly! Dolly, Scallion and Apollo miss you already!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Linn
We had a great experience with Adeline who watched our two dogs and our house for about 4.5 days. She was communicative, engaged and enthusiastic about our dogs. We also have a senior dog who requires add'l meds and oversight with daily communication about his resting heart rate, and she followed through on our instructions everyday. Although we didn't ask her to do any kind of deep cleaning, she did tidy up and left our home in great shape. A 5 star experience!
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.
We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! It was such a relief knowing our pets were happy, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Mercedes kept us updated, was incredibly reliable, and left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
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!
Alexandra has been so amazing to work with. She understands the behavior of our high-strung little dog. I feel confident she is treating our pet with a ton of patience and compassion. She is also easy to communicate with and leaves our house in great condition. I would happily recommend her!
Carly was amazing! Very accommodating last minute to come earlier due to a sudden family loss. She had great communication the entire time and sent tons of pics! Not to mention, Sampson adored her. 😻Already rebooked her and could not be happier with her communication and respect for our home.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Linn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Linn on Rover is $44.51 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,504 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Linn. 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 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
