“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”
“Kristopher took excellent care of our dogs. He was also a great communicator, quick to respond and kept us updated with pictures during the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Sue was amazing. I have a very spoiled, high energy pup that never slows down. She's always up to something. Sue sent updates and pictures several times a day. Cocoa was very happy when we got home.”
“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 🙂”
“Finley loved spending time with Heather, her husband, and their furry bunch! He had so much fun making new friends and they took very good care of him for the few night we were gone. Heather sent pictures of the pups playing and was very communicative the whole time! We will definitely be using them again!”
“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.”
“This was Mavi’s 4th stay and he stayed for 10 days. Even though it is a long drive for me I take Mavi to Gary and Carol as they provide a stable place for Mavi.”
“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!”
“Anastasia is a highly skilled pet sitter who knew exactly what to do to help my shy foster get comfortable with her new surroundings. I appreciate how patient Anastasia was with Seagull and helped her to feel secure her first time away from me. The regular communication from Anastasia helped me relax and not worry about Seagull. I highly recommend Anastasia for pet sitting and will definitely return!”
“Our nervous Aussie Labradoodle was did great boarding with Peter. She ate her food, slept and took her meds without freaking out. We were sure, as a veteran, Peter could handle her if she did freak out. She felt safe enough to stay calm with him. We’ll definitely ask Peter to board her the next time we travel.”
“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!”
“Bonnie has cared for our two dogs several times and they always come back tired and happy! She was a lifesaver during our last stay with flexibility and kindness as our dates shifted around and we are super grateful.”
“Wonderful experience- we booked super last minute because our prior arrangements fell through and they were so friendly and welcoming to our dogs. Seth found a way on short notice for us to do a quick meet and greet to make sure the dogs were comfortable and asked thoughtful questions. It was so nice to have a home for our dogs to stay in rather than a kennel so that our pups weren’t stressed or lonely and we got to be updated with pictures and video during our trip. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“This was my first experience using a doggie sitter and it went extremely well. Angelique was wonderful, she sent me updates on how my dog was doing and pictures as well! I would definitely use her again, when and if I need someone.”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“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!!!”

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 Fernwood 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 Fernwood.
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 Fernwood 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.
