“We were a little hesitant to leave our Izzy, with a boarder, but he just walked right up to Diana like he had known her forever. We will definitely without a shadow of a doubt have her care for him in the future. Thank you Diana.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Becca! She was super communicative and sent us update photos, making us comfortable being away from our pup. Would highly recommend and would book with Becca again!”

“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”

“Louise was very friendly and helpful when we had to change plans at the last minute. She gave us a fair price and worked with us to accommodate to vacation needs. We will definitely be back! Thanks again! :-)”


“Jean was phenomenal! ❤️ I finally took a little time for myself and went out of town, and she gave me such peace of mind by sending updates and pictures of my very loved dog Luna. My Luna isn’t used to being without me and definitely gave Jean a little hassle 😂, but Jean was so patient, caring, and wonderful with her. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jean❤️❤️I would absolutely trust her with any of my fur babies again! 🐾❤️.”

“Raya had such a blast with Anastasia that she fell asleep on the ride home which is surprising since she is a high energy pup. Definitely will be using her again for future trips and cannot recommend her enough! Loved all the pictures and videos.”

“Kristina is wonderful! My pup Stoof has separation anxiety, and Kristina did such an amazing job making Stoof feel comfortable and loved. Stoof was very well taken care of and gots lots of walks, cuddles, and comfort 💛”

“Amanda is amazing. She sent me several pictures of Lilly. When Lil was being picky about eating she even made her sone food. I have used Amanda in the past and already have another trip planned for June. I would AND HAVE recommended Amanda for pet sitting. Thank you Amanda, Jamie and your Lil kiddo for taking excellent care of my Lilly”

“Michelle took extremely good care of my two boys, and was flexible with our pickup and dropoff times. i highly recommend this sitter. My dogs returned to me happy and worn out!!”

“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”

“Sky seemed like she loved her time with Angie! She got lots of car rides and play time. The communication and updates were very much appreciated. I’m selfishly hesitant to leave a review because I know she will be so popular and booked solid soon! But I can’t deny great care to any dog”

“Allison goes above and beyond with Blu! She tailored her care to his needs and I can tell he really enjoyed staying with her such as refusing to sleep in his own bed 😆”


“David was excellent! Lumi had a great time playing with the other pups and I think benefited from David working from home, which is what she is used to. Thank you so much, will be booking again!”

“Pam is wonderful!! She left our house looking as though no one had stayed there for four days! Our pup was very happy, and Pam sent daily pictures and/or videos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Pam again!”

“My Jojo had a great time with Hannah and her family. And I appreciate her flexibility when I needed to make a schedule change. Jojo was happy and worn out (in a good way) when I picked her up. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry family members.”

About: I've always grown up with animals in my home, seeing my pets through all stages of life. There is a special kind of love that comes from caring for and forming bonds with animals, and if I could open up an animal sanctuary- I would! I currently have two cats and a dog in my home, all of which I have raised on my own since they were babies. I've done dog and cat fostering in recent years through OTAT, the Humane Society, and the Multnomah County Animal Shelter, and I have previous experience offering pet sitting services through Rover from 2018-2020 when I was in graduate school. I'm happy to now be able to offer my home and spacious backyard for boarding other people's pets! I work as a therapist and yoga teacher, and I find that my skills in behavioral interventions, mindfulness, and grounding transfer over well in pet care, particularly with dog training and creating safe spaces for pets to settle into. I have lots of experience in administering various kinds of medications to cats and dogs (my dog has skin allergies and one of my cats has asthma) as well as experience in caring for senior animals and the little babies. I understand how important it is to have proper care for our pets with someone we can trust and rely upon. I would be grateful for the opportunity to be the person who puts your mind at ease when you're away from your fur babies. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! At my full time job, I work part of the time in the office and part of the time remote, though I've been gradually reducing my hours in the office to allow me to be home with my own animals more often. My fully remote days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I'm otherwise open & available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Even when I go to the office on Mondays and Wednesdays, I am only typically gone for 4-6 hours so that I can be home to tend to my dog's and cat's needs. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, and I often enjoy spending time and home so I can cuddle with my pets! Boarding: I have a spacious, tall fenced backyard with plenty of room for running and playing! My neighborhood is generally calm and quiet, and my neighbors are kind and also have their own pets. I am happy to crate your dog or help with crate training (or other training needs). I let my pets roam where they want at home, and we certainty allow for cuddles on the couch/furniture! I keep a clean home for myself and my pets! Dog Walking: My priorities are safety, trust, and respect. I believe in only using reinforcement based approaches in working with pets and exercising patience when asking a new dog to let me take them out of their home to go on walks. My preference is to communicate often about caring for you dog, such as providing consistent updates, being timely with the services I offer, and following through.
“I know my girls are always in good hands with Emma. My littlest dog was feeling a bit nervous in her last stay since it was her first time staying without her sister. Emma was so patient with her and kept me updated on how she was doing and any issues she had. She made sure to give her some extra attention until my little Shiv was feeling confident to be there on her own. Emma is the best!”

“What an amazing person Cassie is! She had great communication and took very good care of my 1 year old energetic husky-shepherd! Highly recommend and will use again for sure. My dog had an absolute blast!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
93% of sitters in Brightwood 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 Brightwood 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 Brightwood.
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 Brightwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Brightwood 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.
