“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“My two dogs stayed with Mike for five days. He was great! He was a good communicator, I felt comfortable leaving our pups there, and they seemed happy and calm when I picked them up. I’ll definitely use him again!”
“Theresa was an excellent caretaker of our senior Yorkshire terrier. She took the time to understand the uniqueness of our aging dog and was very empathetic. Because she listened so well to our concerns, I felt great leaving him for the weekend and he had a great time. She’s responsive and transparent in communication. Her family is the sweetest, and I promise your pup will get lots of snuggles in their stay with Theresa with all the attention!”

“Keyly took care of our elderly dog in her home, and she was wonderful! At his age, it can be tough to leave him, but I had no worries this time. She took great care of him, provided lots of photos and updates, and made sure he got his daily meds. He was definitely spoiled there and did not want to leave when I came to get him! We are super grateful to Keyly for taking great care of our old guy and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

“This is Mochi's second time staying with Lan. Mochi was so happy to see her again! Mochi and Lan's pup Lucy also get along well - so we know that Mochi is having a great time while we're gone. Thank you, Lan!”
“Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!”
“Carrie was very responsive and took great care of our doggies! She gave them many walks and kept in touch with photos and updates. She navigated behavioral quirks of the dogs with grace and wisdom.”
“Nellie has hosted our dog Tony on multiple occasions and she has been fantastic. She is very good at learning about what makes Tony comfortable and making sure he has everything he needs. We are 100% comfortable with leaving our dog with Nellie.”
“Dynette is an amazing sitter! She took such loving care of our dog, Calvin, while we were away, sharing frequent updates and photos so we knew he was doing well. It was so reassuring knowing Calvin was in such good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Dynette and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter.”
“We’re so glad we found Robert to watch our puppy during our first vacation since adopting a dog. Robert was quick to respond to messages and answered all our questions. Our dog loved playing in the fenced yard and made so many new friends! He was well cared for and we enjoyed getting photos, videos and updates during his stay. We’d definitely use Robert again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time for our Golden Retriever Leika, to stay with someone other than family. Jenny and her family took such good care of our dog and sent updates every day. I would definitely use them again and recommend to others!”
“Jennifer was amazing!!! She took such precious care of our Mayo buddy! She responded so quickly, allowed for last minute booking, and sent updates the entire time! Mayo loved playing with the Corgis! He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!”
“Geraldine was amazing with our senior Yorkie, Buddy. She spoiled him so much we joked that he wouldn’t want to come home with us 😊! Great about sending photos and updates, too. Buddy is very tiny and fragile, so it was a huge relief to know he was in good hands!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Grove
John and Teri were great to work with. From the first moment we met them we knew that our dog Taz would be well cared for. They sent photos of Taz throughout her stay. Within the first couple of hours of her stay her tooth fell out. We called our vet before our trip and were assured a vet visit could wait. They were calm and handled this so well. Everything worked out and we will definitely call upon John and Teri in the future. Thanks again!
Heather has a very calm and kind demeanor and exudes responsibility and genuine care for animals. She walked Lucky several times a day and was great about sending pictures and updates. Her dog Hunter was super friendly and playful with Lucky. We will 100% use Heather again for dog sitting!
Kirsten took such good care of Joey while we were gone. This was the first time that Kirsten watched Joey. Her dog and my dog had a great time playing with each other, and then Joey got to snuggle with Kirsten when he needed some human connection. She sent me daily updates and photos which was appreciated to know he was doing well away from home. I recommend Kirsten and will plan to book with her in the future.
Keyly responded immediately to my request message for dog care with a short notice. We arranged a meet and greet where we spent time chatting while our dogs got acquainted. I received photos and assurance the dogs were great together and Keyly provided much love and attention to my dog. She loved running around the fenced yard and sat on Keely’s lap while she was on line working! She doesn’t sit on my lap!! My dog didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. I’ll have to book Keyly early so I know I can go away and have 0 concerns about my dogs care. 🐾
Elyse was absolutely spectacular with Johnny! From the very first moment, I could tell she truly understands and loves animals. She kept me updated, was attentive to Johnny’s needs, and gave him so much love and attention while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. It’s rare to find someone who connects with pets the way Elyse does. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’d trust her with Johnny again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
Mandy was THE BEST with our dogs! She went over and beyond to provide the most incredible care for them. Our dogs didn’t want to leave they had such a good time and fit right in. Mandy was an excellent communicator and even sent us precious photos of our dogs making memories! She was very clean and just an overall trustworthy and kind person. I would recommend her any day!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cottage Grove home-away-from-home, 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.
