“I am a fearful pet parent for my little reactive street dog and Damon put us at ease with the time he took for a meet and greet, then booking a day boarding, then an overnight with him before we go away for a week leaving our little guy in his care. I was very hesitant because he has a larger group of dogs, but he is so organized in how he introduces and works with them that our dog came back tired but vey happy. He is super competent, kind and unbelievably NEAT and clean. I couldn't believe he took time to send videos and pictures. this is obviously his superpower. I feel confident in his judgment and his ability to handle anything that comes along calmly.”
“My dogs had an amazing time with Michael and Cindy! They got lots of exercise and love and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being taken care of while I was away. The dogs even got baths and massages, and came home all fresh and clean. :) So, so, so happy with my experience.”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”
“Peter and his family clearly love dogs! They were super responsive and sent photos throughout the day. Charlie loved playing with their dogs and we will absolutely be booking again! Highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 15 years, and caring for them is something I’ve always felt naturally connected to. I’ve raised my own dogs, supported pups with all kinds of personalities and needs, and spent several years as a dog foster — giving dogs a safe, loving place to land while they waited for their forever homes. That experience taught me how to read canine behavior, build trust quickly, and create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether it’s a high‑energy dog who loves adventure or a shy pup who needs patience and reassurance, I’m comfortable meeting them exactly where they are. My home is set up with ramps and steps to help small dogs and mobility‑challenged pups move around safely and comfortably along with a stroller for long neighborhood walks. My goal as a sitter is simple: keep your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away, and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I work from home. Mid-day walks at lunch time everyday unless weather is hot, then early morning walks. Weekends usually allow for longer walks and the occasional hiking adventure. I like taking my pups to the Jenkins Estate. It is heavily wooded and not usually busy. Making it easy to walk with multiple dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that can be segmented into two if needed. A doggy door for medium sized pups for quick and easy access. If your pup is not familiar with one, I will work on some simple training to encourage and get them use to using one. Plenty of doggy toys for aggressive/heavy chewers. Nylabones, kongs, rubber toys and rope. Sorry, no fluffy/squeaky toys, my oldest can destroy the toughest in under 6 minutes. Home is air conditioned. Floors are waterproof vinyl plank flooring, and all couches and beds are covered with waterproof blankets incase of any accidents or simply messy dogs. My oldest pup likes to take dirt baths much to my chagrin. There is a small kiddie pool available for those hot days. Two crates are available for any pups that may need it. And plenty of baby gates to segment/separate as needed. My house has been puppy proofed once before, and can be if requested. And additional third-party insurance to cover any emergencies.
“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”
“I normally stress out about leaving my dog with someone else, but after our meet and greet, I was actually excited about leaving my dog with Mersal and Cora. He doesn’t get many opportunities to play with other dogs. He had the best time ever with Mersal and Cora. He didn’t want to leave. I think I’ll be reserving more time just for his happiness to be with Mersal and Cora.”
“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”
“Louise was such a wonderful sitter for my dog Atlas for the day. Her home was the perfect landing spot for him, there was a beautiful backyard to play in! She has a very welcoming personality and I will definitely book with her again in the future :).”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Vanessa was great. She is incredibly knowledgeable and an experienced handler. She took her time to introduce my dog to all of the areas in her home and sent me pictures with updates on how things were going. I will most certainly be using her services in the future.”
“We absolutely love Stacy. Her communication was superb throughout our beloved Darwin’s stay. She is warm and Marge and Darwin got along so well. We will definitely be using her services as our first port of call going forward.”
“It’s clear that Christopher and his family genuinely love dogs! He is easygoing, an excellent communicator, and incredibly accommodating. Mason felt comfortable right away and absolutely loves going to doggy daycare at Christopher’s. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Melani! She treats my dog like her own—he absolutely adores her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Melani is truly his second mom. She’s reliable, incredibly accommodating, and very communicative, which makes scheduling so easy. I trust her so much that I use her multiple days every week while I’m at work. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do, Melani is the one!”
“Susie and her wonderful family are absolutely a dream come true! I'm so happy I found them. I've used daycare facilities for my little pug, Olive, in the past and she used to come home semi-traumatized by the experience. Definitely not the case with Susie. The second we pulled into her driveway, Olive had her tail wagging and couldn't wait to spend the day with Susie and family! Susie was sooo sweet and I know her daughter loved little Olive too...I can't speak highly enough of them. Seriously, if you're debating who to go with for your doggy...go with Susie. She is kind, extremely flexible, experienced and has such a warm and inviting home. Thank you so much for taking care of my little fur baby...10/10 would recommend and will 100% be taking Olive to Susie for all future daycare!?❤”

About: Hi! I’m Alicia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I know that trusting someone with your pet isn’t just about finding a sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them like family. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply curling up for snuggles, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and personalities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and active play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply a calm, loving companion, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and provide the care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own and strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own animals.

Thank you Jami for taking the best care of my girl Bekki. You're so good with dogs! You seem to understand them and treat them as the individuals they are. I don't worry when Bek is with you and I really appreciate all the pics and vids of her playing and having a great time. I also love how she is calm and tired when I pick her up. And I appreciate the great communication. Thank you!
Odalis agreed to watch our dog on short notice so that we could attend a celebration of life for a family member. She and her family took great care of Echo and were flexible with our uncertain pick up time. They had a spacious yard for Echo to play fetch and run around with another dog. We would definitely take Echo back to Odalis.
Damon is a wonderful sitter and handled my two dogs with such great care! They had a great time and came thoroughly exhausted and happy. We got videos and photos throughout the day which was awesome. Your dog will be super cared for and in great hands with Damon! I highly recommend him.
Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.
Our pup Is high maintenance and nervous, but Youjung did a fantastic job taking care of him. You can tell she really loves dogs and wants to make sure that they are happy! Our pup got lots of walks and attention. We will definitely book with her in the future!
I am very happy with Marla & Keith, because Cassie received a lot of one-on-one attention. Marla is an expert at making a new dog (Cassie) feel at home in a new environment. Cassie was welcomed on walks with the other dogs - all of them much bigger than she is. And she got lap time too. The photos were a nice bonus. 😊
Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Anastasiya is amazing! We had a last minute booking and she was so accommodating!! We loved the updates that she sent for our little buddy. Booking with Anastasiya was our first experience with a Rover sitter and she made the whole experience a breeze! Will definitely book with her again.
Abdallah was so kind and helpful. We needed a dog sitter last minute and he swooped in and saved the day! He was very communicative and intellectually engaged. He’s also just an awesome person in general. I’m glad our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ab!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Metzger commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
