“I felt confident leaving Ollie with Roxanne and Jeff since we did a meet and greet previously. I got a daily message with a photo and general update which I really appreciate! Ollie was happy when I picked him up. I will definitely book with Roxanne and Jeff again!”
“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
“Donna is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our beloved dog, Jet, with anyone other than a family member. We were a little apprehensive to do so, but Donna eased all or fears with her friendly, professional communication. She even sent us videos each day he was with her! The atmosphere she creates is very safe and welcoming. Jet had a great time and we would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Renee and Richard were so kind in assisting us with our crazy scheduling. Thank you so much. Rover was taken care of wonderfully and we greatly appreciate the care and warm and open invitation that we received upon arrival. We received pictures of walks and couch surfing every day. Thank you both so much. Greatly appreciate your care towards our girl. Regards”
“Kathryn was sure to ask all the right question about Rossco’s needs and care. He was so happy with her and her family. They made sure he was played and got to go on lots of walk. Such a great experience for my first time with boarding on Rover. I won’t be looking anywhere else for care when I am in need of a dog sitter unless Kathryn is all booked.”
About: Your dog will LOVE this fenced 3 acres in the heart of Powell Butte! Dogs have been present my entire life, and I believe they're so much more than pets—they're family! I have years of hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs, from playful puppies to beloved adult companions. I've personally trained two dogs to earn their AKC Canine Good Citizen certifications and have volunteered as a foster home for cats through BrightSide Animal Shelter. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member, and my goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it's playtime in our fully fenced 3-acre yard, a leashed stroll on our private 20 acres, a cozy place to relax, or plenty of belly rubs, your pup will be treated like one of my own! I work from home, and with my family's schedule, our house is rarely empty! Your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and opportunities to play, relax, and just be a dog. We have two dogs of our own who are great friends and accustomed to family life: Kelly (8) the field spaniel and Archie (4) the standard poodle. Archie is timid and takes time to warm up to new dogs. Enthusiastic greetings can feel like a little too much, too fast for him. You have two options for your dog's stay with us: Option 1) Separate but pampered (see below for a detailed description). My spacious home and flexible schedule easily accommodates 100% separate routines for our dogs and yours. As a Brightside foster, we've done this for years. I easily manage different playtimes, outdoor adventures, feeding schedules, and relaxation time so everyone feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Option 2) Let them meet and establish dog boundaries. This can look like Archie barking to say "give me space." Once they've met and communicated in their canine ways, we've seen our dogs and guest dogs all peacefully co-exist together, run around, and find their own playful balance. Here's what "Separate but Pampered" looks like: Your dog's bed, food, and water will be with me in my in-home office. Your pup spends the day with me as I work from home. While I'm working and have your dog near my feet, my dogs are out running the fenced 3 acres and living their best dog life! When it's time to stretch your dog's legs, go potty, and run around, my dogs go into our cushy workshop where they have water and comfy beds. It gives them a chance to relax, too. At night, my dogs always sleep together in our laundry room. Your dog would sleep in my bedroom with me (in their crate, on their dog bed, or on my bed - whatever you prefer). In the morning, we feed separately and start the routine over. Although it sounds like a lot to manage for some, I've been doing this for years (as a foster) and now it comes naturally for me. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my priority, and I'll happily follow their usual routines to help them feel right at home! I know that being away from Mom or Dad in a new place can be stressful enough, so my goal is to make the transition from your home to mine as seamless and comfortable as possible! I believe in following your lead when it comes to caring for your pup. Whether it's specific feeding times, mealtime routines, favorite sleeping spots, bedtime traditions, or little quirks that make your dog unique, I'm happy to accommodate! I'll follow your instructions as closely as possible to keep things familiar and predictable. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home. I'll provide plenty of affection, attention, and opportunities to play, while respecting the routines and boundaries you've established. Think of my home as your pup's home away from home!
“Archie instantly felt at home! Darla and I talked for a few minutes about Archie's needs while he and one of her own dogs played. The four night stay was brutal for me but Darla sent texts and pictures that helped ease my anxiety,I knew he was safe, cared for and happy.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. From an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer who needed structure and consistency, to a retired, injured Rottweiler who required gentle care, patience, and awareness of physical limitations, I’ve learned how different every dog’s needs can be. I’ve also cared for a small but strong-willed Schnauzer who was loyal and protective, as well as a large, laid-back Sheepadoodle who loved affection and slow days. These dogs are family to me and through my 22 years of loving them I have become the ultimate dog lover. Beyond my own dogs, I’ve regularly watched friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience adapting to new routines, homes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable leash walking, reinforcing basic training, and maintaining boundaries while still making dogs feel safe and spoiled. I’ve helped raise and train my dogs from puppyhood, focusing on consistency, calm correction, and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my ability to balance genuine love for animals with attentiveness and responsibility. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a recent graduate and am currently not working another job which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs. My schedule allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to, rather than squeezing them in between commitments. In my home, pets have access to a yard for outdoor time, play, and bathroom breaks, along with plenty of indoor space to relax. I supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are always safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any training or care instructions. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their own environment.

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.
100% of sitters in Madras 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 Madras 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 Madras.
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 Madras. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 Madras 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.
