“Elizabeth was par excellence!!! We are super impressed with her and the care she gave to Dexter. We definitely will be working with her in future. Thank you very much. Michael/Evelyn”
“Hailey and her family were wonderful with our dog, Porter. He does much better in a home environment and they treated him like part of the family. 😀 We will definitely be booking again!”
“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”
“This is the second time we’ve left Nalu with her for a long period of time. She communicates well and sends videos and pictures throughout the stay! He came home so happy and I was at peace knowing he was well taken care of!”
“Carlos was great!! It was our first time leaving our Sadie girl and it was such a relief leaving her with someone I knew would be able to take care of her well and handle all of her needs. He was professional, very responsive, and gave many updates/pictures/videos. Not only all of that but he worked with her on leash walking. She was practically a whole new dog when I went walking with her. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“Great caretaker! Kaela and her family were so friendly and treated Suki like one of their own. Couldn’t have asked for better care or communication. Her puppy blue is a sweetheart as well. Great family to take care of your pup and I would let them take care of Suki again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have taken care of animals since the day I was born, I have had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 chickens, 5 hamsters, 2 Guinea pigs and 3 fish in my life time and have a heart for animals. They really do have something special about them! I’m currently working part time at Dutch bros and I’m in a sling at the moment, I had shoulder surgery which gives me even more free time to play with your pets !! I have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood, love to go one walks and have 2 dogs and a cat living in my house currently they are all friendly to other animals!!
“I was traveling to the area for work and worried about leaving my pup with a sitter, but Gayle immediately made me feel comfortable that he would be in good hands. She has a great home set up and is very attentive and sent lots of updates. Bucky had a blast!”
“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”
“Karlie was very flexible and easy to plan with. Her house is very dog friendly and her pup, Dresden, is a great playmate! Our dog didn’t care when we left at drop off because she was already having so much fun.”
“Mason was very friendly and responsive! She took good care of our sweet girl Ziggy for a few days. I know Ziggy had alot of fun hanging out and playing with the other dogs, she came home happy and relaxed! 😊”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“My dog was very difficult for Tania, but she went above and beyond and never made me feel at fault. She's incredible. No one in the world could've handled the situation better. I'm so very grateful.”
“I was apprehensive leaving our 5 year old Vizsla anywhere. Philly took him for a walk to bond. He sent lots of texts and pictures. He was able to accommodate drop off and pick up times as we changed both times. He let him on the furniture and sat in a chair just like at home. He understands a high energy dog with lots of walks and ball play. He works from home so Odie was never alone. Such a relief to know he was in good hands. . We will definitely use Philly again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Albany
Ben’s stay at Steve’s home went very well. Seems he adjusted nicely and when I came to get him he wasn’t overly anxious to leave and continued to play with Steve as we discussed how it went in my absence. I would definitely ask Steve and Jackson to dog sit again. They were very gracious. Thank you for taking care of Ben.

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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
