“So and Jon were very easy to work with. We got pictures/ videos every day while we were out of town. Our dog got to meet and play with other dogs while he was staying with them.”
“Chelsea was super amazing and flexible. My dogs both love her and her attentiveness. I have 1 dog that needed some accommodations and she was able to do so easily. Would totally use her again!”
About: I've been caring for friends' dogs for the past eight years, ever since I became a dog mom myself. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm the kind of dog mom who throws my pup a birthday party every year, complete with treats, decorations, and lots of love. Dogs are truly part of the family in my house. Hi! My name is Kendra, and I'm a marketing professional who works remotely from home full-time. I have an 8-year-old Goldendoodle named Henry, who has spent many happy days with Rover sitters over the years. Now that I'm working from home, I'm excited to provide the same level of care and attention to other dogs that I always wanted for my own. My home is located in a quiet neighborhood and features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to explore and play. I believe in regular updates and clear communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Robert is truly amazing and the whole package! My young Bull dog Roxy is full of energy and very attached to us. Robert took all of our care requests seriously. Special food needs, sleeping arrangements, play needs, daily check ins and lots of exercise were all provided with care. Robert is a dog whisperer and even provided training that I have been unable to do. His service was a true blessing’”
“I am so glad we found Katie! Our two senior pups did so well under her care. It's always nerve-wracking to leave our dogs for an extended period of time, but I really trusted that they would be safe and happy with Katie. She was great with giving medications to our seizure-prone boy, and really understood what our dogs needed. She also sent frequent photos which was really wonderful! I would definitely recommend Katie for long-term boarding and for short dog sitting, and will definitely have my pups stay with her in the future.”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“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!”
“Brittany was an amazing dog sitter. She was amazing with my older dog who is a little anxious and not dog friendly. She made sure he was well taken care of. I would definitely let Ryder stay with Brittany any time!”
“From taking notes at the meet & greet with loads of great questions, to having a really careful approach to introducing her own little dog to the river guests, I felt really confident that Finn would get great care! Definitely will book again.”
“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!”
“Dee had a WONDERFUL time! Lajetta has a beautiful home environment, and our pup felt comfortable there immediately on our first meeting. Lajetta sent many photos, and plenty of assurance Dee was safe and having a nice time. She even came home smelling better than we dropped her off!”
“Chewbacca (Chewy) had a wonderful stay with Josh and Leah. We recieved pictures often and updates on how he was doing. He was well taken care of as if he was a member of their own family. We highly recommend Joshua and Leah for your dogs stay! We can't thank them enough for their kindness to our Chewy!”
“This family took great care of our dog and hamster, I highly recommend. I received pictures throughout our time away and updates on how the animals were doing. I will contact them for our next vacation away from home.”
“Our first time having Jo Lynn and David sit for Griffin and couldn't be happier! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. You could tell right away how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after — kind, caring, and thoughtful in every interaction. They sent us photos almost every day, which we loved getting to see. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our dog was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Jo Lynn again and highly recommend them!”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Buxton 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 Buxton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Buxton 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.
