“Susie was absolutely fantastic taking care of Ringo while we were out of town. Ringo loves to be with his people and Susie provided a welcoming environment and continuous company for him he seemed to be calm, relaxed and enjoying his stay. She was also very accommodating as far as drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Susie and will definitely use her again as the need arises.”
“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!”
“My dog Theo enjoyed his stay because he was in no rush to come home. I think he was loved and felt comfortable. He got to snuggle when he slept and made a new friend with Lilly. It sounds like they bonded and has fun together. I think having another dog rather than stay by himself was really special. He got home made treats and I got pictures of the naps he was able to take. It was lovely to have access to a large febfrd yard too.”
“Hanlan was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time needing a sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. My two babies had such a fun time. Hanlan was extremely flexible, and was great at communicating. Definitely will be using her again when the next time comes.”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“Our pups loved their stay with Hayleigh! We appreciated Hayleigh’s willingness to do a meet and greet before our first stay to ensure her home and pup were a good fit for Scout and Charley. Hayleigh was very responsive and we felt confident our pups were in good hands.”
“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!”
“Julie took care of my dachshund for a week. It was like he was home with us. Julie works from home and takes walking breaks. She welcomed Walter into her home like he was her dog. She quickly learned his idiosyncrasies. He was happy to see me when I picked him up and comfortable with Julie. She used excellent judgment when he got into something he wasn’t supposed to (soap on the bathtub edge). She sent me photos of him during his stay and reassured me he was fine so I could fully enjoy my trip. She has an excellent home for small dogs with a backyard and home near a park for walks. I’m so grateful to have found her. And will be recommending her to my friends with small dogs and to you readers looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter.”
“Carolyn was absolutely incredible!! This was Sophie’s first stay and we will be back for sure! The check ins and pictures were exactly what I needed and showed me just how happy she was with Carolyn. We have boarded with three other sitters previously and Carolyn absolutely blew them out of the water! Her personalized care, demeanor, and environment for my baby made all the difference. Carolyn handled a complicated medication schedule and diet change perfectly. Thank you for taking such great care of this sweet baby! She came to you a senior and left a puppy hehe”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“Raya had such a blast with Anastasia that she fell asleep on the ride home which is surprising since she is a high energy pup. Definitely will be using her again for future trips and cannot recommend her enough! Loved all the pictures and videos.”
“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!”
“Shannon and Matt are so helpful watching my old dog. They really care about their guests, go out of their way, and send frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was wonderful! She did a meet-up prior to our pup’s stay to ask questions and become familiar with our senior dog. She provided pictures throughout the stay and even trimmed my pup’s nails because she is a trained vet tech, and it’s been so difficult for me to get her in for an appointment. I would definitely recommend Emily because I will be rebooking her again for my next vacation!”
“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.”
“Our dog is a rescue Chihuahua and has peculiar traits. She has never been left with anyone but family. Julie and Barry were wonderful with her. They sent pictures and kept me informed how she was doing. Our little Cadi warmed up to them immediately. Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
Jaimo is fantastic! She clearly has a lot of animal experience and her love of animals is very apparent. Her home is lovely with a good-sized yard. She communicates frequently and clearly; she sent adorable pictures every day I was gone. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
I can’t recommend them enough! They took amazing care of Jetson and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. They were also incredibly flexible when my plans changed and went out of their way to accommodate Jetson, which I truly appreciated. He came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them with Jetson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet sitters.
Amy and Eric took such kind and wonderful care of our very anxious senior dog. They were so attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of affection and playtime. They were very communicative, reliable, and welcoming and provided thoughtful updates and photos on how he was doing which helped put us at ease. Everything went smoothly and our dog was comfortable and well loved! We highly recommend them and will be using them again.
Mara was so great to coordinate with and it’s so clear that she is great with dogs! Our boy is a big goofball who gets a little overwhelmed sometimes, but after just one meet and greet, we knew it would be a great fit for him to stay with Mara while we went out of town. He clearly loved his time there and we enjoy the tired and happy boy!!
Sierra stepped up at the eleventh hour and did a wonderful job! She was open to negotiating a reasonable price, even though it was short notice with my other sitter cancelling on me. I came back from my two week trip to a Special bear that was happy and healthy. She even got her a stuffed animal! Thanks again Sierra :)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gladstone is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Gladstone 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 Gladstone home-away-from-home, 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 Gladstone.
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 Gladstone 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 , 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 .
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.
