“Our puppy had the best day with Kristopher. He was sensitive to our puppy’s needs, and eased her into meeting his crew when she was nervous on arrival. She seems to have had the best day, and we are so appreciative of his expertise with puppies.”

“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 💞”
About: I have experience with reactive dogs and understand they need to feel safe and redirected when they are in a heightened state. I try to meet pets and their parents where they are. I start my dog’s day with breakfast and potty break around 7 am. I like to walk my dog around noon on my lunch break and play with him. I’m off work around 5 pm and let the dog out for a potty break again after feeding him dinner. I have a fenced yard and a medium sized dog to keep your dog company. I also have a large crate if your pet requires their own space.
“Maggie was a wonderful Dog Sitter! She took extra good care of my pup. Marley and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He was happy when I came back to pick him up and that’s always the best sign. Highly recommend!”
“Jax says Rover needs more stars for Allen. I love being with him and my buddies there. I get to run and run and play and play, then nap and do it all again — it’s doggy heaven.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up in an animal loving family and as a mother of two I have passed the love for dogs, particularly, down to my own kids. We know that our pets are family members and understand that their well-being, happiness, and comfort is of utmost importance! I am the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I have cared for everything from puppies to seniors. Our family is a safe haven for your dog and you can rest assured that they are getting the attention, care, and respect they individually need. I work from home. My rescue dog is by my side all day. He’s the sweetest guy who gets along with any and all dogs. Any age, breed, or gender is welcome. The pups have attentive attention, full reign of our cozy home with doggy door, ample fenced backyard, and friendly neighborhood to walk, if desired! Dogs like their routine and I am understanding of adhering to any restrictions or schedules needed.
“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was able to take our young dog on short notice which made things so much easier for us. Tali came back happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. Would absolutely book again!”
“Margaret is great! She made a quick connection with my shy/nervous dog. By the 2nd visit, my dog was excited to see Margaret and not hesitant at all when I dropped her off. Margaret sends us lots of cute pictures and pays close attention to my dog's needs like when she needs a breaks from an overly playful puppy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”
“Damon has been a life saver for my daycare needs. He is reliable, personable, and communicative. I work full time and have an active GSD who needs adequate mental stimulation and play. By the time I pick her up, she’s ready to eat and relax for the rest of the evening. He has a spacious and clean backyard for the dogs to roam/play around in without it feeling too crowded. I always get pics and updates thru out the day to make me feel reassured she’s safe and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Damon and his services.”
“Susie is wonderful, Buddy seems so happy and relaxed when we pick him up— Susie is very experienced and her home is calm and perfectly set up for dog sitting. We’ll use her over and over, for sure!”
“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: I used to work at a dog rescue, and I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from chihuahuas to pitbulls. I love them all. I recently lost my 16 year old rescue dog, Spike, and I miss being around animals. I’m experienced with special needs dogs, senior dogs, and with administering medication. I’d love to make your dog feel comfy and loved when you’re away. I am comfortable with your dog boarding at my house if they don’t mind being in a new environment, and I also have experience house sitting for pets who prefer their own space. When house sitting, I’m happy to grab mail, water plants, etc. I work from home the majority of the time, and my husband (who is also a huge animal lover) has flexible hours as well. Therefore, someone is typically home and able to walk/feed/play with your pet during the day. I have a fenced yard and a small doggie door as well. My schedule is very adaptable whether I’m home or staying at a client’s house. I’m happy to accommodate your pet with whatever they need so that they feel right at home when you’re gone. They’re welcome to sleep in bed with us, in their own bed or crate, or whatever you/they prefer. Let me know more about your pet’s typical routine and we’ll go from there!
“Veronica took excellent care of our 13.5 year old Penny Lane. She took her on a walk with her pups and sent multiple photos throughout the day which we so appreciated. Veronica is a conscientious person who understands dog behavior. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Veronica to look after Penny Lane again in the future. Thank you, Veronica!”

Jenny and Calcifer took great loving care of my Mango again! My girl comes home to me happy and tired. Jenny does an excellent job with her detailed pupdates, follows Mango’s care to the exact instruction, and provides sweet photos of their day together. So lucky to have found such a match for us!
We needed care for our two dogs pretty last minute and were so happy to be accommodated! We have a 10-month-old pup with plenty of energy and a 6-year-old dog, and both of them were so well taken care of throughout the day. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were somewhere safe and being looked after, especially with such short notice. We also really appreciated all of the photos and updates throughout the day. It was so nice getting to see what they were up to and knowing they were comfortable and having a good time. When we picked them up, both dogs were absolutely pooped and ready to sleep the rest of the evening, which is probably the best review they could give themselves! Definitely the sign of a fun, well-spent day. We’re really appreciative of the care they received and would happily book again!
Thank you soooo much to Daisy for providing the best care for our special bulldog chunk! Even with breathing issues and sometimes being hyper, she dealt with everything so well and I could tell chunk was right at home with her. He didn’t want to leave! It made us so happy to get pics of him looking so content at her place. She made sure he was safe as well. We will definitely book again.
Cathy was absolutely wonderful not only did she take Sheldon into her home he felt it home, but she has a nice patio and she took him out for a walk all for a four hour visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s a very loving, kind and compassionate individual to get five stars, but I’d give her six if there were six stars available. Thank you, Cathy
We’ve come back to Ben again and again for his stellar care. Our 5 month old puppy is excited to spend time at Ben’s and we can rest assured knowing he’s being loved and attended to. Ben sends lots of photos and spends ample time with our pup throughout the day. Would highly recommend Ben to anyone who’s nervous to send their pup off. Ben has been our saving grace!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Milwaukie on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Milwaukie 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,803 sitters in Milwaukie, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
