“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“My pup had such a great time being boarded with Dylan, his partner, and their pup! I received lots of pics which I’m super grateful for. Would absolutely book with Dylan again in the future!”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“Puka looked happy, shiny, and healthy when I returned home from vacation! A big thank you to Amy for sending photos every day of Puka in cozy, comfy places and for brushing her. I trusted Amy and her family to treat Puka like one of their own and would definitely book with them again! 🥰”
“Briar had another fantastic visit at Tracy’s house while we were out of town for the weekend. Just like before, our pup came home happy, tired, and was very well taken care of! Thank you so much for being so kind and dependable!!”
“Rocko had an absolute blast with Katelyn and her family. I'm so grateful for her endless patience with Rocko's 1-year-old-puppy energy, for her flexibility with my last-minute trip changes, and for her consistent communication throughout Rocko's stay. Look no further for your pet's care; Katelyn is the best!”
“So happy we chose Teresa to watch our pug. I can tell she genuinely enjoys watching dogs and took great care of our pup. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, gave my dog lots of excersie and love, and sent us updates! Felt like my dog was on her own vacation there. Will definitely book again and recommended to others!”
“We count ourselves very lucky to have stumbled upon Christina and her excellent services on Rover App! We needed dog care for a six day period to fly back east for a funeral. She was available, responded immediately, and was easy to communicate with. Our dog was pampered in her home with comfort, affection, and treats! Best of all she took our dog on adventure outings twice a day to frolic off-leash with other pups, play ball, and swim! I received multiple photos each day of our dog living her best life! It was like an unplanned summer vacation for our precious Quinn, and we’ll be using her services again. Thank you, Christina! Well worth the money for peace of mind.”
“I would highly recommend Caleb to everyone! At our meet and greet, he asked a ton of questions about my pup, Atticus, and took notes of his needs and habits. Atticus is a very itchy boy and the fact that he came home without any hotspots is a testament to Caleb's attentiveness to care. Given the opportunity, I would not hestitate to book with Caleb again. He's also a great dog photographer, to say the least!”
“We have a great pyrenees. Our dog is 112 lbs and very friendly. I was so happy to find Courtney. Courtney's place is very clean and quiet. She only takes one dog at a time so your baby gets all the attention. Courtney was very good at sending me pictures and videos since we have never left our dog at anyone's house before. She was very good at communicating every day as we were gone for a week. Thank you Courtney and we will be back to reserve you with Crystal again.”
“Tori was amazing! She took on my pups at the last minute due to my scheduled sitter canceling last minute. She was amazing with them and sent so many adorable pics to give me peace of mind that they were happy and content. Both my pups LOVED her pup! They were so happy to have a friend for the weekend. Will definitely rebook, with plenty of notice this time😉 Thanks again Tori!!”
About: Hello! My name is Chris, and I would love to be your dog's best friend while you are away :) When I first adopted my dog, Wilson, he was a challenge--very roudy, not house trained, and high energy! With lots of patience, training, and love, he has developed into the most mature and calm pup. My friends routinely comment that he seems like a totally new dog. I believe all he needed was a stable and loving home. As such, I have experience training, administering pills and medicine, and identifying / helping with ailments if they crop up. If your pup has any of these needs, I can help! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m current a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I can make sure that your pet will never be alone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a sweet 5 year old black lab who will be your fur baby’s best friend. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, and can take them out for potty as frequently as needed. I live near a large park which is great for walks and nature time for your pup.
“Julie and her family were the perfect fit for my 1 year old Cane Corso pup, Nova. We did a meet and greet and Nova was at home with them right away. Nova was well taken care of the entire stay and was happy in all the updates. She got plenty of love, walks, play, and snuggling while she was with Julie. I'll definitely be a return customer. 😁 Thank you Julie & co.”
“We left our dog with the Ruthie for four days and we couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! She was very warm and welcoming we could tell right away that she has a genuine love for dogs. She also understands dog behavior and knows how to connect with them. She sent updates with adorable photos and fun descriptions of the daily activities. When we picked up our dog, he was relaxed and happy. We will definitely be seeking out Ruthie again in the future!”
About: New to pet sitting. But not new to relationships with dogs. Recently retired and wanting to do something I love. As a proud parent of 2 doggies, (Little Nellie our Mini Dachshund lies in bed next to me as a write this) I know what it is like to leave your dogs in the care of another. It can be stressfull worrying about them. My aim is make it as stress-free as possible. I will treat your dogs as family. Because they are. I have had many dogs over the years, from Great Danes to German Shepherds, and to my Irish Doodle Charlie. There is nothing like the bond between man and beast! (Cheap reference to Brad Pitt movie "Heart of the Beast") And while I'm no Brad Pitt, but we are the same age. (Maybe that makes me just like him?) I treasure that bond. I recently lost Kaisey my 11 year old frisbee partner in crime German Shepherd. My plan is to honor her legacy by providing loving and trusting care to your dogs. Sincerely Bobby, Nellie, Charlie, and of course Kaisey who is forever in my heart! My whole life resolves around the safety and well being of my dogs, we are frequent dog parkers, and whenever planning to go somewhere, my first question is can the dogs go? I have a large fenced yard and have taken extra procautions on not having escapees. My 2 doggies are very friendly and enjoy making new friends. Our dogs are rarely without human company.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Horton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
98% of sitters in Horton 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 Horton 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 Horton.
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 Horton. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Horton 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.
