“Bali loved being with Gloria! He was super happy when our son picked him up. And Gloria stepped in for us when we were in a pickle. Thank you, Gloria! So glad to know you are so close to us!”
“As always, John and So took amazing care of my dog Mimi while I was traveling for two weeks. They provide daily photo/ video updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Mimi loves John and So and I always feel great knowing she’s with them.”
“I am so glad we found Katie! Our two senior pups did so well under her care. It's always nerve-wracking to leave our dogs for an extended period of time, but I really trusted that they would be safe and happy with Katie. She was great with giving medications to our seizure-prone boy, and really understood what our dogs needed. She also sent frequent photos which was really wonderful! I would definitely recommend Katie for long-term boarding and for short dog sitting, and will definitely have my pups stay with her in the future.”
“Chewbacca (Chewy) had a wonderful stay with Josh and Leah. We recieved pictures often and updates on how he was doing. He was well taken care of as if he was a member of their own family. We highly recommend Joshua and Leah for your dogs stay! We can't thank them enough for their kindness to our Chewy!”
“Aundrea and her family are experienced, patient and helpful. I was out of town for 9 days and she watched my 3 year old dog. This was the longest I’d left him with someone else. I was worried and uncertain about how he’d behave. She was warm; welcoming; provided updates and photos; and was supportive when my dog got anxious.”
“Lorri was fantastic. She sent us a number of pictures and texts (letters from our dog) during our trip. It helped to reassure us that our dog was doing fine. He came home healthy and happy. We highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Hayley and Graham for taking care of Hank this past weekend. The daily updates and photos made it even easier knowing Hank was in great hands. Hope to use you both again soon.”
“Steve was wonderful! Great communication, and we love the daily (and often multiple times per day!) photos and updates, and we trust our pups are well taken care of. We have two high maintenance huskies, and to be able to take them in AND ensure they get their needs met (and mostly exceeded) is such a relief. Thank you so much!!”
“Christopher and Angela were excellent! We were gone a week out of country and everyday we received several photos, videos and updates. I started getting excited for my phone to buzz with new pictures of their activities! It felt like pups had gone to summer camp because I think they were having as much fun as I was. All in all,they made me feel like my pups were their number 1 priority. I would highly recommend them! I would give them 6 stars if I could! :)”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Jennifer is a great boarder and her kids were wonderful and gentle with Polly as well. The house is at the end of a street so it's nice and quiet. I appreciated the daily photo updates. I would definitely rebook. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Really thankful for Irene taking care of Reggie at last minute notice, Reggie is a handful and she took care of his needs and he had a great time. Would recommend her anytime!”
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“We are so grateful for Lajetta and the patience, love and attention she gives our senior beagle! I know he is always cozy and happy from the cute photos we receive while he’s with her. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful, friendly sitter!”
“A big thanks to Christopher, he made the whole process easy. We were able to relax on vacation knowing he was being cared for through updates and pictures. We definitely recommend him to others!”
“Jane & Justin provided excellent care for our dog! They communicated very well, sent pics and went above and beyond providing care. We definitely will rebook with them when we have the opportunity!”
“I would give 6 stars if I could. First of all Saira and her family were extremely kind and welcoming at the drop off. They have a beautiful house with a huge backyard. As soon as we arrived, my dogs were off to having fun in the backyard. Saira sent me many pictures daily and I loved seeing my pups having a blast =) I am already booking again w Saira. So comforting to know that now I have Saira that will watch my pups when I need. Thank you Saira and family!”

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 Forest Grove 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 Forest Grove 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 Forest Grove.
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 Forest Grove. 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 Forest Grove 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.
