“Megan and her family were the best sitters I’ve ever had! I had no worry or anxiety about her staying with Megan after the first day or two when I realized she was in great hands. Megan has a naturally calm and caring energy, was responsive, and seemed to genuinely enjoy Zolas company (my Zola is a very loving, but high energy and high attention pup. Megan picked up on behavioral oddities and anxieties that one would only notice if they were really paying attention and cared. Additionally the grounds were safe and spacious for lots of exercise time! To top it off, this booking was last minute when we found out our house closing date was being pushed back, not one, but TWO times. Megan was there to gladly take Zola for another week. In all, Zola stayed for about 10 days and returned to me healthy and happy and exercised. I would highly recommend Megan!”
“Archer had a great time at Elisa's! She sent over many pictures of him having fun and being part of the family. He especially loved playing with her kids! We could tell Archer felt at home with them, and we rae so grateful that Elisa helped us out with a last minute request. Thank you so much for taking care of our Archer!”
“Veronica was so great with Charlie, it felt like I was leaving her with family. She kept me updated frequently, took her for walks, and gave many cuddles. I will definitely bring Charlie back to Veronica.”
“Robin was great! She kept me updated and sent lots of photos of my dog while I was away. She even went to the store and got replacement food when it ran out! Would definitely recommend her.”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“Kim was great! She took great care of Juniper and was communicative along the way. Appreciate her flexibility and willingness to accommodate on a few requests. Highly recommend!”
“Gregory is as good as they get when it comes to dogsitting! Great communication, lots of pics of my pup having a great time while I was away and just an all-around good guy. I can't recommend him highly enough and would give a 6 Star review if I could!!!”
“Birch had a great time with Ann (and Archer 🐾 AND Adam!) 😊 Initially, Ann was very responsive and friendly. She was interested and happy to receive all important information about Birch so she could properly care for him. Ann’s home is a comfortable space with a nice backyard where Birch enjoyed playing with (King) Archer. 👑 We were very happy to receive all the fun updates and photos of our boy on our trip. We felt he was very well cared for and would use Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. 🥰”
“Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter. My dog, Dougal, was so happy when we picked him up because of all the good walks and belly rubs he got, She also sent a lot of pictures. I recommend her highly.”
“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
About: I have had the opportunity to raise all sorts of animals from chickens, goats, iguanas, to even an African Grey Parrot. As well as many pups. I've gained a lot of knowledge and practice in crate and potty training, teaching tricks and obedience, and even breaking some bad habits. Although if you have any pointers on the bob barkers, I'm all ears!!! I currently work 1 day out of the house, and the rest of the week I work from home, so I am able to be around most of the day with my own pups at my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly well behaved pups who would keep your pet company at all times. I also have my own large crate from when my last pup was still in training, in case it's needed. My significant other and I are very outdoorsy and love keeping the dogs burning energy any chance we get, playing fetch outside and teaching tricks for treats!
“My pups had a tail wag’n good time, Tori did a great job taking great care of my babies and sent lots of photos to ease my mind. I could tell Tori is a great cook as she served up specially curated meals for them which they gobbled up and licked the plate. I would highly recommend Tori!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the quality of care Sophia provided Jackson!! She treated my dog like family and it meant the world to me during a long trip. Updates were thorough and frequent too which I lovvvveeee! Needless to say, if you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Sophia is your girl.”
“Harleen and her pets welcomed Sandy with open arms and she fit right in the pack. I appreciated her proactive communication, thoughtful questions about caring for Sandy, and loads of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely be contacting Harleen again in the future for more stays!”
About: I grew up with a mother who made sure there was a dog in our family home at all times! She would also pick up loose dogs on the street and contact all the shelters to let them know she found a dog in case anyone called in looking for theirs. I am a lot like my mother! I have had 3 of my own dogs since I brought the first one home from Baja in 2003. I have cared for multiple friends’ dogs over the years. I love to walk and snuggle, so I am happy to hang with your pet and do either. Reach out if you’d like to see if we’re a good fit! Thanks for your consideration. I am a small business owner, so I’m pretty flexible. However , the days I work in my shop (2-3 days a week), I am there for about 8 hours. I will follow specific instructions given to me per animal. I will not have the animal outside of the home without a collar. I will only take the animal to off leash areas with permission.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since elementary school taking care of two family dogs with very high energy! Now a work from home dog dad, I can provide plenty of attention to your furry friends. Including morning, lunch time, and evening walks to get the zoomies out, play tug of war, or some simple fetch. I work from home and tend to have very limited scheduled meetings. This allows me to be flexible with my week day schedule as I’m available 8am and on to take care and play with your dogs. Weekends I am typically busy with an outdoors adventure, but am always open to adding a furry friend to join my pup on outings. I have a completely fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around and get the zoomies out. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with a great 20-30 minute walking loop and quick access to the Deschutes river if your dog loves the water.
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience and a true love for dogs. I grew up in a home with two dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. For the past ten years, I had the privilege of raising and loving my dog, Finn, who recently passed away from old age. Through that journey, I gained not only the joy of companionship but also valuable skills in senior dog care, managing changing needs with patience, gentleness, and consistency. Because of this background, I’m comfortable supporting dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to older companions who require extra care and attention. And as a bonus, you’re actually getting two experienced dog lovers for the price of one! My husband has been caring for dogs since high school and was my partner in raising and loving Finn for the past ten years. Between the two of us, we bring decades of combined experience, plenty of extra hands for walks, playtime, and cuddles, and a shared commitment to making every dog feel right at home. Our home is very family-oriented. My husband and I share responsibilities, and our toddler absolutely loves dogs! We understand how important it is to create a safe, welcoming, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and included as part of the family. What truly sets us apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. Having been dog parents ourselves, we know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. We approach every pet as if they were our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. Having spent over ten years caring for my dog Finn, and growing up with two family dogs, I’m used to building my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. We have a yard, and daily walks are a must. Walks are paired with play, training, and downtime so pets feel both stimulated and secure. Because I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting routines for extra energy or extra patience. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. My husband and I, along with our toddler, create a warm and social environment where dogs receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to routines, so feeding schedules, medications, and training practices are followed closely to keep pets comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in our home, I focus on maintaining the same consistency and comfort they’re used to. I respect each pet’s established routine, whether that means sticking to specific walk times, reinforcing training cues, or providing extra patience for senior dogs. My background includes raising my own dog, Finn, for ten years until he passed from old age, so I’m experienced with both puppy training and senior care. No matter the setting, my goal is always the same: to provide safe, reliable, and loving care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease
“She was great with Maya! Maya is a cuddle bug and needs couch snuggles, particularly when she's anxious from being left alone, and Sage delivered. She kept me apprised of how Maya was doing, including after Maya made herself sick from something she ate (she's a roadside trash goblin).”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Alfalfa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alfalfa home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alfalfa.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alfalfa. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Alfalfa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
