“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”
“Gary and Carol were great. This was our first experience with Rover and were very impressed with how easy it was. We completely trusted them after meeting them a few days before our vacation began. They sent us updates and pictures throughout the week letting us know Abby was enjoying her stay. We will definitely keep them in mind for our future vacations.”
“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Louise was great. This was our first experience ever leaving our one year old Morkie. Louise was great about sending pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how she was doing. As soon as we knew Chloe was relaxed, we could all relax and have fun. Her dogs are great too (very docile) and very welcoming to other dogs and people. We'll definitely ask Louise to watch her again!”
“Becky was a new Rover to us and we couldn’t have been happier with how great she was with our Lucy girl. She provided lots of updates and pictures, even dressed her up in Christmas sweaters next to her Christmas tree. We felt very good about leaving our older dog in her care and will definitely be using Becky again for future dog care. Thanks Becky!”
“Sarah was absolutely incredible in caring for foster while we were gone. Pics and updates were frequent, ensuring he was doing well, with detailed notes. He received plenty of activity time and Sarah embraced him as her own, which he loves as always around a lot of people. The care package with “report card” and treats was a magic touch, which my kids enjoyed sharing with Foster when he came home. Will definitely use Sarah’s services again in the future! Her love of animals is unmatched & a joy to see!”
“I observed a loving caring exchange with my Sophie who seemed very comfortable with Yuting. She provided wonderful periodic photos which were much appreciated and great feedback on my pets care.”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“10/10! Amanda was very kind and caring towards our dog and communicative with us. She sent photos regularly and took good care of her. She listened to our instructions well and was very generous with boarding her over a long holiday week. Our pup came home happy and with new friends :)”
“We were concerned about leaving our little girl with a sitter for a long trip; however, Peggie was fantastic. She took great care of our girl exceeded all of our expectations. We had a lot of peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Liz was great! Easy to communicate with regarding our dog. Picked her up and was on time and made it simple to hand off our dog. Sent pictures daily and kept us up to date. Our girl came home happy”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Araceli is amazing. She was available at last minute for my babies and she always does an exceptional job. They love going to her house. She also has another husky which I know my dogs love. I would highly suggest her anytime. She is definitely my go-to”
“Our two old dogs came home happy and healthy. They required a lot of extra care including medications and Jessica was so sweet and accommodating about it. Would definitely trust her again.”
“Carrie is the best of the best. My dog is a bit anxiety ridden and doesn’t like to go anywhere without me going with her. Carrie and her family love my Sadie like their own and she just loves to visit their house. No issues at all! It’s a great feeling knowing she’s safe and we’ll taken care of when you’re away. We (our family) just love them. ❤️”
“Jennifer and Eric and their two sons were amazing with my nine month old pup! I was so grateful to have a safe loving home for my dog to be at while I was out of town. Thank you again so much for treating her like your own!”
“Sky seemed like she loved her time with Angie! She got lots of car rides and play time. The communication and updates were very much appreciated. I’m selfishly hesitant to leave a review because I know she will be so popular and booked solid soon! But I can’t deny great care to any dog”

Diana was awesome. We felt very comfortable to leave our Mango under her care. You can tell that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys taking care of them. And Mango was super happy from the start. Will definitely take my fur babies to her in the future if needed :)

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.
94% of sitters in Firwood 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 Firwood 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 Firwood.
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 Firwood. On Rover:
- 89% 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 Firwood 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.
