“Kelli and Justin and their kids are wonderful. I couldn't have asked for better people to care for Our Stella girl for the weekend. Kelli and Justin was understanding in dealing with Stella’s anxiety about being away from home. They kept us posted and sent pictures on how Stella was doing, which helped us relax. They took Stella on walks and gave lots of love and playtime which I know Stella really enjoyed her stay. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve helped friends and covered for pet care and love to interact with friendly pups and kitties! I make sure to provide food, water, and essential play time. I communicate frequently with updates and follow special instructions for specific care. I have my own kitty at home but others are welcome with open arms! I’m a full time student in architecture but I care for my kitty daily of course. I desginate time around and in between classes. I’m especially available during school breaks. I have a very gentle, cuddly kitty that would love to be friends with your pup or kitty but I can easily separate them in different spaces if need. I do check-ins throughout the day or stay in at home to ensure they're feeling well in the space! Food, water, and playtime are always a priority for their happiness.
About: I have experience cat sitting for both a young kitten and adult cats, so I understand that cats of different ages have different needs and personalities! Beyond feeding, I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I know some cats are more playful while others prefer their own space, so I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I love using pets as a way to relax and decompress after a long day while eing able to care for something else that has helped me so much throughout my life. I hope to include pet care throughout my day to give pets the best life that they deserve! I care for an animal based off the owners ad the pets needs, while also considering resources available to me. I am open to adapting and adjusting to whatever environment works the best for you and your pet.
“Mari was absolutely fabulous! Our dogs had a grand time, and we felt very comfortable with leaving them in her care. Plus, we loved all the photos! Thank you so much, Mari!”
About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.
“Julie is a fabulous pet sitter and human being! We liked her immediately, as did Nova and Zoey. Julie made sure that our communication was clear and asked the important questions. Zoey was in a cone for a hotspot and Julie did not flinch. It is always wonderful to pick up your pups and feel no anxiety from them...that was the case with Julie! We felt confident leaving our fur babies in her care and her pup Jackson is a sweet bonus! Highly recommended!!”
“Alysha took amazing care of Woody, and he got lots of love and exercise while staying with her. The text updates were great and very reassuring to hear our boy was doing well. We were very impressed with the ease of booking and the price. We will definitely book with Alysha again for any future dog sitting needs! Thank you again Alysha!”
About: Hello! My name is Chris, and I would love to be your dog's best friend while you are away :) When I first adopted my dog, Wilson, he was a challenge--very roudy, not house trained, and high energy! With lots of patience, training, and love, he has developed into the most mature and calm pup. My friends routinely comment that he seems like a totally new dog. I believe all he needed was a stable and loving home. As such, I have experience training, administering pills and medicine, and identifying / helping with ailments if they crop up. If your pup has any of these needs, I can help! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m current a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I can make sure that your pet will never be alone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a sweet 5 year old black lab who will be your fur baby’s best friend. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, and can take them out for potty as frequently as needed. I live near a large park which is great for walks and nature time for your pup.
About: I have taken care of dogs almost my entire life, I have owned all sorts of dogs and have 1 dog currently. I love dogs and would love to help in taking care of yours. I am a full time mom ! Outside of taking my oldest to school I will be fully available every day to help take care of your dog. On Sundays we go to church or have to run to the store but very minimal time is spent away from home. I have a fully fenced yard , a dog run , wonderful kids and a very very friendly dog . We can happily crate your dog or arrange a area in both our garage or in our house to provide them with space .
“Seemed to be very caring with our dog and stayed in touch with us. Baxter came home and seemed happy and ready to crawl into his favorite space and take a long nap.”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
“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.”
“Tina and her husband were fantastic!!!! always timely at messaging me back, they have a great space for my pup to run and play inside and outside the home, Mia got a long wonderful with the other two dogs, Tina sent me updates everyday how Mia slept or how she played pictures of her with them on the bed or in the living room with the other dogs playing in the yard. Tina was kind enough to meet me partway to return some things that got left behind and Mia was so excited to see her again that made my heart really happy that mia really did enjoy her visit with them and her runs through the woods.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Hill
Fantastic experience from start to finish! We received frequent updates, adorable photos, and excellent communication throughout our smaller, three-legged, misfit dog's stay. Knowing how Brad was doing each day made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away. Claire took wonderful care of our dog. We highly recommend her and won't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you!
Julie is a fabulous pet sitter and human being! We liked her immediately, as did Nova and Zoey. Julie made sure that our communication was clear and asked the important questions. Zoey was in a cone for a hotspot and Julie did not flinch. It is always wonderful to pick up your pups and feel no anxiety from them...that was the case with Julie! We felt confident leaving our fur babies in her care and her pup Jackson is a sweet bonus! Highly recommended!!
This was my first time using Rover and Helena and Chris made it the best experience possible. I had some concerns with leaving my high energy dog with someone else for a few days, but I felt immediately relieved after meeting Helena and Chris. They were super excited to spend time with my boy and made sure to spoil him with play and enrichment the whole time. Loved the pictures they sent, and will definitely be booking with them again in the future!
First time using Rover - just booked Anna for 2 weekends in a row and she was fantastic!! She did such a great job taking care of our furry family (dog & cat) in our home. We felt instantly comfortable with her during our meet & greet. She’s been a great communicator & even sent us pics while we were away. We are so grateful & definitely plan on booking with Anna again!!
Natalie is amazing. She was available at the last second even was able to take him in a day early. I was no questions asked and it wasn’t an issue at all. He was excited and happy to be with her the whole time so I appreciate Natalie and her service. It was amazing.
Landen was awesome and very accommodating! Although I ended up canceling because I decided to bring my dog with me, Landen still went out of their way to come to my apartment, pick up the keys, returned it and was incredibly understanding throughout the whole process. I kept the booking because I really appreciated the time and effort they put in despite not getting to watch my dog. I would definitely book with Landen in the future!
Dez is an amazing pet sitter! I got regular updates about my pup and felt extremely at ease knowing she was well taken care of. All questions were answered promptly and Kibou had a blast on her little vacation wtih Dez. I would absolutely trust Dez to watch any pets any time! :)

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.
99% of sitters in College Hill 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 College Hill 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 College Hill.
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 College Hill. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 College Hill 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.
