“We're so grateful to have Susie taking care of our senior dog during the week long vocation. She is friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. We highly recommend her to any dog owners.”
“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“Appreciated the superb communication, especially getting pictures of my happy pup, but all along every step of the way. This was the first time I left my dog overnight, and Kristopher made it a comfortable experience for me.”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“Shari is the absolute best! Roscoe had never stayed with anybody except for us and she made him feel so loved and relaxed. We are so thankful for the care she provided our pup and for the updates and pictures. I was so nervous to leave him but she reassured us that he would have a wonderful stay and she was right. Her disposition is so sweet and calming. Highly recommend!”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“So caring and understanding with Luci's anxiety. Seems they had a ton of fun and she made a couple awesome friends. 5/5 will book Jamie again!”
“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 is such a blessing! I never worry about Gypsy after we drop her off. Gypsy is a very anxious dog but when Liz sends photos I can see Gypsy smiling. Thank you Liz! Highly recommend!”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Angela was an amazing dog sitter! We left our fur baby with her during our long vacation. She updated me every day with pictures and how Winston was doing. Great experience!”
“Leslie treated our senior dog as if she were hers. She provided periodic updates and went the extra mile when our dog Callie had an additional need. We highly recommend Leslie and now Callie has a new BFF in Leslie’s Lab Lilly!”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“Peter and his wife are exceptional. We did a meet and greet before hand for a longer sit, and they also accepted a shorter notice sit for me as well. Our pups got on great, and I had so much peace of mind while I was away. Truly wonderful and will absolutely be using them again.”
“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“My 12 year old dog is a nervous nelly that requires attention and daily walks. We usually leave him with family or friends, however needed some extra help for a week of vacation. I am so pleased we went with Julie. She is reliable and trustworthy. I felt confident my dog was well taken care of. She sent frequent pictures of my dog and updates throughout the week. our dog was hesitant to come home because he enjoy his Bed-and-biscuit at Julie's s so much. I would highly recommend her and hope to use in the future.”
“No joke — best dog sitting experience anyone could ask for!! I loved Steven and his whole family. They are infectiously nice people who are clearly dog lovers through and through. They treated our girl Fiona like the royal diva that she knows herself to be. She was so super happy staying at their home, getting her play time, and being pampered for a week. I’ve used some good sitters on here before, but Steven has taken the bar and leveled it up. So grateful to have found this family!!”
“As new clients in an unexpected crunch, Hannah took our dog in without hesitation. She shared several photos and updates with us throughout his stay. He looked so happy, too! Hannah, you deserve all the stars. Thank you again!”

Steven and his family took great care of Java while we were away. They were very kind and kept us updated with pictures. Java looked happy and comfortable when we picked her up, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciate the care they gave her and would definitely recommend them! 🙂
My dog Obi loved staying with Susie. He made new doggie friends and seemed to enjoy his “vacation” as much as we did. This was our first time booking with Susie and I was an anxious pet parent. Susie helped me dial down my anxiety by providing daily updates with photos. Thank you, Susie!
Very responsive and helpful. We needed a sitter on short notice to house our dogs overnight so we could attend a concert we came to Portland for. Laura was quick to respond, easy to work with. Laura has a great set up. Tall, private fence for the back yard. She was very caring and attentive to the pups. Sent us some great pictures in the evening and morning. We are so grateful for getting a night out together. If/when we come back through Portland, we will look up Laura again.
Vanessa has watched three of my dogs throughout the years and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s friendly, quick to reply, reliable, and genuinely great with my pets. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands, and it’s clear she really cares about the animals she watches. So grateful to have found someone I can trust with my pups!
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.
Claire was an amazing pet sitter and was very communicative with us through the entire boarding process. We had a meet and greet prior to our trip so our dog could meet her dog Cherry and play a bit and get familiar with each other. They got along great so we proceeded with the booking. Claire gave us updated and sent photos thought the stay and it looked like Norm was having a blast playing with Cherry and going on walk along the river. It really put us at ease while we were away on our trip. We would definitely book with Claire 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 :)
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Janice to watch our dog, Pablo, while we traveled to visit family over the holidays. Having peace of mind while you’re away is priceless, and she truly delivered that. Our dog is very sensitive, and Janice was so attentive and thoughtful with all of his needs. It’s obvious she does this because she genuinely loves dogs. Janice went above and beyond taking him on plenty of walks and even bringing him along with her during the day while running errands. Since coming home, we can tell Pablo really misses her, which says everything about the bond she built with him. Her home is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, with a yard. She sent us daily updates and photos, letting us know what they were up to, which always made our day. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janice again and hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Janice!
Wow! Brandon was a godsend--we didn't know how it would go with our very energetic puppy and this was our first time having him stay with another. Brandon could not have been more perfect! Sent us pics every day, played with our dog so much we weren't sure if the little guy would want to come home! It is clear he was in love with our dog and we were so glad to have a trusted place for him. We feel like Arlo has another uncle!!
Karen was great!!! I was nervous to leave my high-energy dog with a sitter for the first time, but she really set my mind at ease. There was excellent communication and a lot of updates. She even took my dog for outings at the beach (her happy place). I could tell that my dog felt comfortable in her care and had a great time, so I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. Will for sure book with Karen again and I absolutely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Marylhurst 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 Marylhurst.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Marylhurst 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.
