“Susie is amazing! My dog Redford was chilling at her place immediately, and I could tell from all the photos I received that my little guy was having a happy and relaxing time. Such a relief to have someone so caring and communicative taking care of him while I was away. Thanks so much, Susie! See you again soon!”
“Kristina had great communication with many updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was quick to respond and flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. My dog seemed to be enjoying himself too! Will definitely keep her in mind for future trips.”
“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“Jake’s the best! He is always super flexible with drop off/pick up times, and takes good care of our pup, Laika. She loves her stay every time, so much so that she is always excited to see Jake at drop off. He is great about sending updates and pictures as well. Thank you, Jake!!”
“Maria is great! As soon as I met her, I knew Porkchop would be in great hands. She is attentive and sets a routine early on. I felt better on vacation knowing she was watching Porkchop. She communicated everyday and answered questions I had. Thanks Maria!”
“Thank you Laura for taking such great care of my boys while I was away for 9 days! I really appreciated all the updates, photos and fun little tidbits of what was going on throughout each day. I could tell they enjoyed their stay by just how calm they are now that we are all back home - thank you SO much!! We'll be back!”
“Katie was amazing with our frenchie, Gus! We can’t thank her enough for loving and caring for him like her own! Katie is so kind and very easy to communicate with. She always kept in touch with photos and updates which was much appreciated. We are very grateful for Katie and will definitely be using her services again soon!:)”
“Damon was so great! I booked him to board my dog at his house while I was out of town for over a week. He sent me so many picture and video updates and I loved to see it! It really made me feel like my sweet dog, Charlotte, was okay and happy while I was away. She seemed to really enjoy her stay there with Damon and his pups too!”
“Shannon and Matthew are so kind and caring. My dog seemed very comfortable in their home and yard. They provided updates and photos and she was very happy when I picked her up. They even gave her a walk so she would be relaxed for our somewhat long drive home. :) I know Cosi will be happy to go back again next time we have a need. ❤️”
“Grace is so reliable and has been there for me in my best and worst moments. My dog is so happy when she is with Grace and I absolutely love the photos and upsdates about her day. She sends messages to me during daycare while I’m at work just updating me on my pup and I love it. I can’t imagine someone else taking care of my dog and I strongly strongly recommend Grace for any type of animal care!! She keeps them comfortable and happy. Absolutely love being able to count on Grace! Thank you for everything :)”
“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!”
“Mara is amazing! She was so flexible during our dogs stay and was so excited to spend time with them. She communicated excellent and just went above and beyond with our dogs. They came home exhausted and I knew they were well loved! Thank you, Mara for being amazing!!”
“Stan is our dog whisperer! We have two reactive small dogs who can be a handful. He has helped them feel calm and happy! Stan is communicative and leaves our minds at ease when our dogs are in his care. Super easy to work with. We highly recommend Stan!”
“Melodie did a great job with our pug! She sent lots of pictures. She has a really nice set up especially for small dogs, with lots of comfy beds and toys and a nice yard. Really glad we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
“Tammy was an exceptional dog sitter for our dog, Rusty. Rusty is very anxious and often struggles with meeting new people. Within the first day, it was clear that Tammy quickly earned his trust and love. We felt at ease during our trip that he was well cared for and happy. We appreciated her daily updates. 100% would recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunthorpe
Laura was wonderful with my boy Abe! He is very easy to get along with but he does have some special needs due to his age, and requires regular meds. Laura was on top of his needs and also easy to communicate with. She sent me some very cute updates, which makes me feel better when I have to be away! I would definitely work with Laura again in the future.
My dog Nellie had the best time with Lauren! Nellie was spoiled with lots of play time and trips to the park, and I felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving her in Lauren’s care. I received lots of updates and Lauren was patient with all of Nellie’s quirks. Highly recommend!
Marybeth was amazing with my dog Wendy! My dog can be a little nervous with new people but I could tell from the pictures I received that she was having so much fun at Marybeth’s house. Marybeth was great at sending me updates and communicating. I would definitely recommend!
Melanie and Jeremy took care of Una while we were in Portland, and this was our second time having her stay with them. They were easy to communicate with and Una was comfortable and settled when we picked her up. We appreciated knowing she was safe and cared for while we were away. Thank you both for taking care of Una!! ♥️
Rena was absolutely amazing with Mavis! We are so pleased with the level of love and care she received from both Rena and her partner. Rena gave us updates and sent us photos every day. Her communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. This was honestly the best dog sitting experience we have ever had. If I could give more than five stars I would. :)
Tom and his partner are amazing, responsive, and caring. My dog was so excited to see them again, and she left their home in such a great mood. They always listen to my dog’s specific needs (meds, behavior) and take great intentional care of her. Would highly recommend!

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.
94% of sitters in Dunthorpe 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 Dunthorpe 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 Dunthorpe.
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 Dunthorpe. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Dunthorpe 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.
