“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”
“This is the second time we use Brittany to watch our pup and she’s such a joy! It really feels like our pup is going on vacation. Brittany sends regular updates and photos and our pup clearly gets a ton of attention and exercise. Would highly recommend!”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“Another great stay with Katie! Received lots of great pictures of Jackson having a blast while we were away, and he slept the whole way home so we could tell he had a great time!”
“This was the third time I have entrusted my 2 dogs with Andre and McKenzie. They love going over to stay, I wish they acted like they were going to miss me but they don’t. Andre is great at keeping in contact with you. Absolutely my number 1 go to for watching our dogs.”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Hayley & Graham are amazing!! Their dog Greer is an absolute doll and will shower you will so much love. She got along with my two high energy pups so well & has the best personality! 10/10 experience and will be rebooking for all the travel plans they are available for!”
“Emma took really good care of my dog, Cooper! She sent daily updates that put us at ease. My dog had a great time boarding with her and Bagel and was very comfortable during his stay. I definitely her recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding services and plan to book again very soon.”
“Nicole did a great job with our little guy. You could tell he was well loved. She sent a couple pictures a day of him playing, cuddling, or going for walks. We hope to take our dog back to her next time!”
“Chris and Angela were so amazing that I can’t even properly express how grateful I am that they were the ones caring for our Happy boy while we were away. Happy was so well cared for and spoiled with attention, snuggles, and belly scratches. They have a lovely family who loved on our pup as well and their house is a dog’s paradise! Chris sent so many pictures and videos that I stopped feeling so guilty he couldn’t come on our trip with us. Thank you again!! I would always book with Chris and Angela if I can :)”
“Misty took such good care of my dog while I was out of town! Frequent updates and very responsive. She obviously knows dogs well and mine came home healthy and very happy! Would definitely book again.”
“Christina was fabulous with our 5 month old labradoodle, Hope. Puppies are not easy, and Hope is in training to become a therapy dog, so she came with lots of instructions and set commands. Christina reinforced all Hope has learned and continued to expose her to different situations, kids, and kid toys. Hope had a ball, and Christina's whole family now holds a special place in Hope's heart. They are ALL good with dogs!”
“Barbara did a tremendous job taking care of my dog Luna while I was away for a weekend. She’s very friendly, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. She’s a great dog sitter!”
“Lea and her family are fabulous dog lovers and sitters! They cared for my two kids, kept me updated, and sent me pics of them spreading their fur around the house :) I love that Lea only cares for one family's dog(s) at a time, so they get all the love! My shy dog even got comfy and slept on their bed, while the other got all the cuddles he wanted. We highly recommend Lea and her family.”
“Annika and John are wonderful! They took great care of my anxious and needy pup for a week and kept me in the loop with daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. They took note of all my dog’s needs and asked questions, I could tell they really cared. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and will happily rebook!”
“I contacted Suzanne the day before I needed to have my Murphy stay with her for the weekend. I was relieved when she said she had room for him, and she also told me that another dog that Murphy enjoys playing would be happy to see him. Needless to say, Murphy slept most of the day he came home with all the fun he had with his buddy.”
“Got the cutest pics and videos of Ash enjoying his time with the whole crew 😊 he was super content and very well cared for. I'm going to have to find my trips are gone so he has an excuse to head over there again”

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.
94% of sitters in Balm Grove 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 Balm Grove 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 Balm Grove.
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 Balm Grove. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Balm Grove 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.
