“I cannot say enough nice things about Juliann and her family. Our Marvel is always well-loved and gets lots of exercise when he stays with them. Most importantly, I know my boy is safe and happy while I’m away.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful to Christopher and Angela for the incredible care they gave Olive. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such loving hands. They took wonderful care of her, but what meant the most to us was how much they genuinely loved her and made her feel like part of their family. A very special mention has to go to their daughter, Emily. Olive absolutely adores all three of them! There is such a difference between finding someone who will simply take good care of your dog and finding people who will truly love her while you’re away. Christopher, Angela, and Emily gave us that, and it means more to us than we can say. We would trust Olive with them again in a heartbeat.”
“Buddy was safe and well cared for. Buddy has never been away from me since I got him. I LOVED the pictures and up dates. I didn't worry at all. When I picked Buddy up he was happy and looked great. Thank you Diana you did an outstanding job I will be using you again.”
“We left Tofu with Jade for a day boarding and he had a great time with her. Tofu is still a puppy and troublesome at times and Jade was very patient and accommodating!”
“This is our second time leaving our Charlie with Suzanne and, again, she did a great job with him! She took good care of him and texted us daily updates with pictures while we were away. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Charlie was in good hands with Suzanne!”
“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”
“Gemma took great care of Kelli during her stay. Kelli had an overnight with Gemma prior to this longer stay and was excited to go back in the house. Being an older dog she does have a few extra needs but these were all met and she was in great shape when I picked her up.”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“Thank you Dottie for taking care of our Molly! Dottie was so attentive to Molly’s health and needs the whole time and helped eased my concern. I was worried that Molly wouldn’t settle in and be part of the pack. Dottie was great with Molly and Dottie’s very well behaved dogs helped Molly fall in line with their pack. Dottie kept me up to date on how Molly was doing with pictures and texts. Thank you!! We’ll be coming back for an extended stay soon!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shari on Rover. This was our first time vacationing and leaving our special-needs dog, who has separation anxiety, and it was not an easy decision. From the very beginning, Shari made us feel completely at ease. She truly loved him and treated him as if he were her own. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave us the confidence to fully enjoy our time away. Shari sent frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to us and really helped when we missed him. I couldn’t recommend Shari more highly. She is kind, attentive, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again.”
“So grateful that we were able to book Peter to watch Timber and Willow. After meeting Peter I was very comfortable with the booking. Peter provided status updates and photos throughout the stay. At pickup time though the dogs were happy to see me, they seemed sad to have to leave. I highly recommend Peter and will definitely use his services next time we are in the area.”
“Jennifer did amazing at supporting me and my Koda; not long after his surgery, she was able to watch him while I worked, which was a major relief to me. Jennifer did everything she could to meet his needs, such as monitoring his surgical site, watching for post-surgery behaviors, and administering medications. I never worry when my pup is with her because she always updates me with pictures, and I have full trust in her abilities to give Koda lots of love when I can’t.”
“Jamie and Nicole took very good care of our dog and kept us posted with many happy photos. Our dog seemed to miss Jamie and Nicole the first night we took him home. We highly recommend them!”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog, Fred, providing a wonderfully caring and safe environment for him. It gave us such peace of mind to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We really enjoyed the daily updates and pictures she sent. Our dog can be quite shy around new places and people, so we were thrilled and pleased that things went so well. It was clear he was well-fed and loved. We won't hesitate to book with Leslie again!”
“Brodie has stayed with Phillip multiple times and he has a great time with Phillip and family. Phillip provided regular updates and pics showing Brodie enjoying the fun and attention.”
“Katie was so responsive! It was the first time leaving Sezzy (not with family or friends). Katie communicated and sent me sweet updates regularly throughout her stay! Looks like Sezzy had a fun time and made some new friends. Thank you again Katie!!!”
“Hayley & Graham are so awesome! I know Millie is in great hands when I drop her off at their house. Millie loves playing with their pup and is always so exhausted at the end of the day. They are very accommodating to your schedule and very responsive. I would highly recommend them to watch your pet😊”

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 Downs 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 Downs.
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.
You and your Downs 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.
