“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.”
“Lindsay did a great job watching our dogs! They were friendly and easy to communicate with. They followed instructions well and adapted to a pup that was very shy and stand off-ish.”
“Parrish took great care of our pets and sent lots of picture updates of their time together! We appreciated her quick responses and attention to care details. Highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie is skilled with animals and was able and to build a rapport with my skittish cat quickly. This was a warm up meeting for a longer visit this summer. She has put my mind at ease that he will be well cared for when I am gone.”
“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 🦋”
“Leaving a fearful, reactive Blue Heeler is incredibly stressful- Sydney handled everything flawlessly while house-sitting; during my absence, there happened to be tree trimming which required parking spots to be vacated, chimney inspections, and exterior repairs during hot weather (of course it just HAD to occur during the ONE period I wouldn't be home). She handled everything flawlessly including understanding my dog's triggers, respecting their boundaries during nervous moments, and took the time to build trust safely. Sydney sent fantastic updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who truly "gets" herding breeds and reactivity while being patient and gentle. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking 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”
“Avalon really helped us out at the last minute and stayed with our Sherman , a sweet 9 year old Frenchie for the day. She kept us up to date with photos and how their day was going and went on a nice walk with Sherman as well. We will definitely book with her again. After meeting her that morning and talking with her for just a bit, I could see what an animal lover she was and Sherman was so happy as well. Thank you Avalon!”
“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: 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.
“Another top-notch homestay for my girls Hayley and Nadine. They both love Damita so much that my cat Nadine is considering setting up a gofundme campaign to send me on another trip again soon!”
“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 😊”
“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🥰”
“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!”
“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!”
About: German Shepherds to Chows, I’ve lived with, raised, and cared for all sizes and breeds. I understand how to take queues from an anxious pets while on walks, playing in the backyard, or check-ins in their home. I have nursed many sick pets, administering medications orally and through injections. I am an experienced clicker trainer and have knowledge on techniques that can be used to help your pet feel more comfortable in their own home and while out in the world! I’m currently employed full time and can provide services Mon-Fri after 5 pm and have open availability most weekends. I travel once a month for work. Communication is key; I will communicate every step of the way! I have high integrity. The safety and happiness of the pet is my highest priority. I am always respectful of my clients home and belongings. I make sure the pet is cared for, watered, and healthy while also insuring the property is locked up and secured before I leave. I always clean up after a pet whether on a walk or upon discovering an accident in the home!
“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!”
“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.”
“I have had dogs all my life but have always used a kennel. Since my girls are getting older, I really wanted them to stay in their familiar safe place...home. I interviewed a few Rover sitters and decided on Kiana, loved her personality, smile and contact with my two Westies. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She sent regular pictures and texts to let me know things were going fine. I came home to a clean house and even some peanut butter cookies! I will definitely use Kiana in the future. Thank you Kiana!”

Avalon was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my eight years old dachshund Strudi and the home, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She was so thoughtful and attentive, and even baked homemade treats for Strudi and left him a sweet little toy that he absolutely adores. It was clear how much care and affection she gave him. I would happily have Avalon take care of Strudi again and highly recommend her!
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.
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 $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,538 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.
