“Extremely happy that I chose Joseph and Renee to watch my dog Dallios for 2 weeks! Dallios had plenty of exercise, attention and time with other dogs. I really appreciate all the pics that Joseph sent. I can tell he is very passionate and experienced about taking care of the Dogs under his care. Highly recommend. They will be my go-to for future boarding stays for my dog.”
“DeAnna enthusiastically welcomed Whimsy into her home. Her beautiful property had lots of space for Whimsy to play. DeAnna paced her activities around Whimsy's needs. I got pics each day, showing my dog was alive and well. I was late arriving for the drop-off. With excellent communication (texts), DeAnna let me know when she left the house to run short errands. Drop-off and pick-up were easy. Shared interest in Birkenstocks led to a fun discussion! If I am in the area and need a place for Whimsy, I will certainly make a reservation with DeAnna!”
“Denise is kind and caring. She has taken great care of our little Terrier and always updated us as well while we were away. Thank you Denise! We so very much appreciate you!”
“My husband and I boarded our two small dogs with Ying while we travelled out of state recently. He took great care of them and consistently sent us photo and video updates so we could see how they were doing. He was easily able to administer medication for one dog, and was very attentive and accommodating. He has a great space with a very nice yard that they loved hanging out in. He even set up a soft place for them outside to sunbathe, even adding an umbrella for shade! We appreciate his kindness and responsiveness during their stay, and we’ll absolutely re-book in the future. Thanks Ying!”
About: Hi, I'm Desiree! I live in the hills in Southwest Eugene with my family & fur babies: four dogs, a cat, and a bunny. So animals are my everyday life. I know that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I treat every pet like one of my own: lots of cuddles & attention, consistent routines, and clear updates, so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I have such a passion for doing this because when I’ve had to leave my fur babies it was really hard. I’m hoping to put you at ease knowing your fur baby is receiving love and attention while you are gone 💙💜 I currently work full time but my position is one that I get to work from home. So I am available anytime to watch the animal or walk them. My dogs and bunny would stay upstairs and there is a whole living area on the second floor. There is a gate on the stairs separating the living areas (due to my dog having bad hips). Your pet gets a fenced yard / daily walks and outdoor time, regular meals on your schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention and play. I'm comfortable giving medications and following special diets or recovery instructions, and I'll send photo or video updates during every stay. Dogs sleep inside with us. We can do a meet-and-greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me.
“Jonathan is a lifesaver! I really appreciate his flexibility and updates. His calming nature really helped Rocko feel comfortable. I would absolutely book again with Jonathan and Nova :)”
“Brandy and her family truly spoiled our pup while we were away. Zoey came back happy and well rested. It can be hard to wear her out with all that puppy energy, but they sure did a great job of it! We highly recommend them!”
“Angie was exceptionally at taking care of my Gambit. She made sure to let me know that Gambit was been taking care of and having fun with her doggies by pictures and videos. She even accommodated us with more days due of my flight cancelation so I was very thankful and grateful with her. I would 100 percent recommend her.”
“Kierstin took such a good care of my girl La Flaca! I have such a hard time leaving her and Kiertin made me feel extremely comfortable and provided a lot of updates and cute photos. Highly recommend and will be utilizing her services again.”
“Dominique and Josiah were amazing, they took such great care of my dog and 2 bunnies for more days then planned due to unforeseen circumstances, alleviating my stress about getting home asap. I will happily ask them again in the future, and hope they will take us, they really went above and beyond, Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!”
About: My patience and compassion, in addition to years of senior care experience make me an excellent pet companion. Make an appointment to see if I am a good fit! Currently I am an independent contractor and therefore have the ability to set hours that best harmonize with my valued clients and their beloved pets. I maintain a calm, safe, and peaceful environment. I also keep pets on their familiar schedules and make sure they know they are loved unconditionally!
“Amy was wonderful with our dog. She followed our instructions, walked her multiple Tim's a day, gave us an update every afternoon with pictures, and is trustworthy. Our dog loved being able to play with her dogs. I can't recommend Amy enough as a pet sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alpha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
98% of sitters in Alpha 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 Alpha 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 Alpha.
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 Alpha. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Alpha 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.
