“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Susie took great care of my two dogs, she kept me posted and sent me pictures on a daily basis. Both dogs were happy and healthy. Will use her services again when needed.”
“I am so thankful to have found J, and can’t say enough great things! She sent me a bunch of adorable photo updates of my pup having a fabulous time out in the big yard, or cuddling inside with her newfound best friend Gus. Jean obviously really loves dogs, has a big home with space for large dogs, and is a wonderful sitter! We will definitely be visiting again!!!”
“Hank's second visit with Sandy was just as wonderful as the first! He came home happy and healthy. We are so glad to be able to take a vacation with no worries! Thanks Sandy!”
“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”
“Catherine sent frequent, detailed updates to let me know how everything was going. She’s a genuine dog lover and I felt comfortable knowing she was caring for my pup!”
“Tommy was FABULOUS!!! We have a large, enthusiastic pup who is so sweet and also can get into lots of mischief. Tommy understood my pup’s needs and happily accommodated. I felt completely confident in Tommy caring for my energetic pup. That made me able to enjoy my vacation so much more because I wasn’t stressed about my dog. I know my pup had a great time playing with Tommy and his dogs, too. Thank you! We will definitely use Tommy again!!!😊”
“Everything went so well! My dog loved Barbara’s huge backyard and comfy sofa. I loved the great care my pup got, including a chance to sleep in the big bed. Pictures and updates a couple of times a day let me know all was well. Thank you Barbara!”
“Jamie was all-around great! Kind and friendly to us, and perfectly kind, calm, and thorough with our doggo. If you have an anxious, or elderly, or high-needs pet, Jamie is the perfect sitter. Next time Stewart needs a relaxing weekend, we know where to go!”
“Kathy took great care of Bentley for nearly two weeks while we were out of the country. She was very attentive to his needs and sent multiple updates each day so we always knew how things were going. We are very grateful for her - thanks, Kathy!”
“We had a great experience with Hollie- clear communication, and nice updates throughout our trip. My pup seemed to get on swimmingly with her dog Norman, and she happy and healthy on her return. We would be happy to work with Hollie again!”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Amanda and Jaime. Amanda was very communicative and friendly. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was clear my dog was very well cared for. They were also extremely helpful with accommodating a last minute request! I will certainly continue boarding with them in the future.”
“I am grateful to Keelan for his empathetic and kind care of Rosie. He was so thoughtful in approaching her health challenges and encouraging in providing her social opportunities appropriate for her timid personality. She had a most positive experience on all levels.”
“Literally couldnt ask for a better dog sitter. She took him on so many adventures, constantly updating with pics and how he's adjusting to the new environment. She was also super sweet, I will absolutely be going back when I need another sitter. My doggo came back happy and wore out from all the playing. 10/10 highly recommend:)”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“We are so grateful for Linda! She took such wonderful care of our dog, who has a spunky personality. Her daily updates were very thorough and gave us a great picture of his stay. Sometimes, it takes our dog a day or two to recover, but after his stay with Linda, he came home healthy, happy, and unstressed. It was his way of saying he had a wonderful time with Linda and can't wait to see her again.”

Kathy is just the best, so attuned to my dog Lucy, and sensitive to her needs. Lucy had such adventures on her daily walks, exploring new parks each day and the local wildlife (squirrels). Got daily photos and updates on Lucy's days. I'm so grateful for the care Kathy provides!
Melanie and Jeremy took care of Una while we were in Portland, and this was our second time having her stay with them. They were easy to communicate with and Una was comfortable and settled when we picked her up. We appreciated knowing she was safe and cared for while we were away. Thank you both for taking care of Una!! ♥️
This was Sampson’s second time staying with Theresa and she was wonderful once again! She is great at sending pictures and updates throughout his stay and I feel so comfortable knowing he is in great hands with her. She is clearly such an animal lover and takes great care of him. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for dog care!

Lauren did a wonderful job with taking care of Zoe. great communication and provided plenty of pictures to ensure us of Zoes wellbeing and comfort. i appreciated the suggestions of a meet and greet prior to commitment. when we picked our pup up after a 3 day stay, she was in good spirits. we would definitely reach out to Lauren again for our pet boarding needs. thank you
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.
Rena was absolutely amazing with Mavis! We are so pleased with the level of love and care she received from both Rena and her partner. Rena gave us updates and sent us photos every day. Her communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. This was honestly the best dog sitting experience we have ever had. If I could give more than five stars I would. :)
Linda was great! She took excellent care of Mops giving her plenty of walks and attention. And even some enrichment activities! She was very communicative and sent periodic pictures and pupdates, which always welcome and appreciated. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter. Thanks Linda!
Jean was phenomenal! ❤️ I finally took a little time for myself and went out of town, and she gave me such peace of mind by sending updates and pictures of my very loved dog Luna. My Luna isn’t used to being without me and definitely gave Jean a little hassle 😂, but Jean was so patient, caring, and wonderful with her. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jean❤️❤️I would absolutely trust her with any of my fur babies again! 🐾❤️.
Tom and his partner are amazing, responsive, and caring. My dog was so excited to see them again, and she left their home in such a great mood. They always listen to my dog’s specific needs (meds, behavior) and take great intentional care of her. Would highly recommend!
We felt like Moose was in excellent hands with Nicole from start to finish! This was the longest time we’ve left Moose with someone else, and felt reassured she was in Nicole’s care. Her communication was wonderful from inquiry to pick up, she sent daily thorough updates, is clearly experienced with rescue dogs, and Moose was confident and happy in the company of her dog Lola. Would 100% recommend.
Lisa was awesome! Lisa is a great a communicator and provided updates throughout the day. Melo was well cared for and a good time playing with their dog Mateo in their fenced-in yard. Melo is not crate trained yet and he was able to be out and sleep where he was comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to use Lisa in future.
Naomi was fantastic with our sweet girl Coco 🩷🐶She was super responsive and extremely sweet in sending us lots of pictures of our sweet pup. We are so lucky we found her, she helped us so we could make a very necessary trip out of town. Thank you so much Naomi, Coco had a great time with you and your sweet girl Lola!

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.
93% of sitters in Milwaukie 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 Milwaukie 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 Milwaukie.
<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 Milwaukie 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.
