“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”



“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”


“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”


“Lenore and Rook hosted Roscoe while I was away for new years. She provided lots of photos and updates to let me know that he was doing well and he seemed to be very happy when I picked him up. I would have Lenore watch Roscoe again in a heartbeat!”


“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”


About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and have been pet/house sitting for family friends since about 16 years old. I've recently (Dec 2024) rescued my own first pup, a German Shepherd mix and have experience training and house breaking a high energy/high drive puppy since 3.5 months old (she's almost a year old now). I've also cared for a senior dog and given oral medication/ear drops. I look forward to meeting and caring for some new fluffy friends! I work from home part time starting at 0630 and usually finished by 09-1000. After that I take my pup to run at the park or for a walk/jog that is usually finished before lunch. I am generally free mid-day through the afternoons, but I am very flexible with my schedule. Until the end of the August, I cannot offer day care or boarding. I do have a fenced a yard and plenty of space for doggy guests when the time comes! I am able to do drop in visits and walks until then, so whatever feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medication, or other needs your dog has, I am able to come by and provide that throughout the day!

“Amazing care as usual!!! I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Michelle. I know she will be well taken care of and have the best time! She always gets so excited when she gets dropped off for a visit.”


“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”


“Debra is the best! Max had a great time staying with her and playing with River. He came home happy and calm, but missing his buddy, River. Look forward to boarding Max with Debra again in the future.”


“Rachel is amazing! Our senior dog had so much fun playing with the other pups and being so spoiled in her home. She was very accommodating to all the senior dog needs and even had homemade treats and chicken for our dog to eat when she was sad after we departed. She also did a great job with new dog introductions to the dogs in the house. Highly recommend Rachel for any and all dog care! We'll be using her again and again and again.”


“Susan is absolutely wonderful! She was a true lifesaver for me and my special pup. A crazy travel emergency kept me out of state for an extra 36 hours more than agreed, and Susan gracefully and sweetly continued to take amazing care of my little guy. They went on lots of walks and I got plenty of pics and updates. Would recommend Susan to anyone who wants to be sure their dog is well taken care of 💙”


“Our dog had an absolutely wonderful stay with Saisoi. She was super with him and sent us regular pictures and videos so we knew he was well cared for. It made our trip much more relaxing as we were not worrying about him so much. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Melissa and Ryan are very attentive and caring. Daisy enjoyed lots of fun play time and cuddles there! I would definitely use them again! They also dropped Daisy off at home. I so appreciated their care for her and all the pictures!”


“Bruno had an AWESOME time with Aretha at her home. She kept me updated on Bruno’s behavior, had a treat ready for him, sent pictures, and he even received a bath. Her kids were great with Bruno too. I will book with Aretha again.”


“So glad we found Chelsea on Rover. She was able to provide excellent care for our 10mon old pup that is fearful of new people. Most Kennels won't accept him. By the end of three days her calm and friendly demeanor rubbed off on him and they were friends. We love the photo update with happy puppy faces. We are grateful for the flexibility in time pick up and the last minute add on of our second dog.”


“Barley had a nice stay with Leslie and has returned to me happy and well cared for. Leslie’s place is a good find: lots of fenced outdoor area and opportunity for dogs to socialize. I definitely plan to use her services again!”


“Kelsey is amazing, my demi was having a lot of separation anxiety and she helped handle it so I could enjoy my vacation!!! Definitely recommend her over and over again and hope to use her again if we need to!!!! 10 STARS ?”
