“Kristopher was able to take Rocket last minute for a day session. Rocket had a fabulous time playing with so many new dogs and was really relaxed for the next few days after we got home. Thank you, Kristopher!”
“Tommy is very friendly (to me and my dog). I really appreciated the flexibility of his schedule, because I had to drop Cornelius off very early in the morning. The pictures that Tommy sent me looked like Cornelius was comfortable and happy with his new dog friends. Tommy was communicated great with me, always responding to my messages right away.”
“I think my dog is happier there than with me. Nice to know he’s with his friends, having fun and can come home tired after my work. Lovely people and very reliable. I’m grateful”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”

“arlo had so much fun playing in the huge yard and i felt confident that he was safe and well taken care of with allen. i got lots of pictures and videos throughout the day that assured me he was thriving :)”
“When Dexter developed a medical condition while I was away, Maggie handled it beautifully, giving Dexter the care he needed and keeping me apprised of the situation even though I had limited cell coverage for a while. Thank you Maggie!”
“Miss Pickles and Ginger had a wonderful day with Amber. They must have played hard because as soon as we picked them up and got them in the car, they fell sound asleep. Amber was very easy to communicate with and fast with her responses during the scheduling process. We will definitely use Amber again in the future!”
“Another awesome day with Damon and his doggos. Uki always leaves so tired and happy. She’s still tired the next day and has really blossomed in her social skills.”
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.
“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!”
“Lisa and Brian got along amazingly with our two pups! One of our younger dogs can be a lot to love (he thinks he's smaller than he really is) and they embraced him fully. Both dogs returned home tired and happy after a fun day of backyard running and snuggles. Lisa was also super communicative and sent lots of photos. We'll definitely reach out to them again!”
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“The perfect experience for an old dog with some extra medical needs! Peter was responsive, flexible and so caring with my boy! During pick up, it was clear how much Guinness enjoyed his time as he came out to say hello to me and then promptly turned around to try and go back into Peter’s house which is pretty much the best sign you can get! So happy to have a great option for daycare and boarding!”
“I would definitely recommend Wayne to take care of your fur baby! He watched my dog two days this week and she was well cared for. Very easy to communicate with and super helpful.”
“Kathy took great care of our pup who can be a little on the nervous side. The second time we went there our dog knew where we were and excitedly went straight for the door to greet Kathy which I thought was very sweet. :) Good outdoor fenced space for dog to play and nice neighborhood.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren is great! My dog loved her, and she was very considerate of his nervousness and followed our care instructions perfectly to make him comfortable. Her communication is quick, and we’re so happy she was available to watch our puppy! Two thumbs up!!!!”
About: I have been caring for a variety of animals since I was young. I grew up with dogs and participated in 4-H for 10 years, where I worked with and showed dogs, horses, and goats at the fair. I have also provided dog and cat sitting services on and off for many years, including walking, playing with, and feeding animals. My experience includes caring for a puppy under one year old, where I helped with potty training, as well as an elderly husky who required additional care and attention. While working at a zoo, I also regularly handled a variety of animals, including snakes, turtles, birds, armadillos, and more. Overall, I have experience with animals of all ages and needs, including puppy training and senior animal care. I am currently planning to attend school part time (online classes) so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s) in between homework assignments! I have a large yard with 5-foot fencing surrounding the entire property. Depending on each pet’s needs, I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or on adventures such as a shorter hike or walk in a nearby park. My goal with every pet I care for is to make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and leave their time with me as a positive experience. I have a lot of experience reading pets’ individual needs and understanding what helps build trust and a positive relationship, whether that means treats, playtime, quality time, patience, or simply providing a calm and comfortable space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukie
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!!

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.

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.
