“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
“Sherry was responsive and sent multiple updates on how Otis was doing during the stay. Pick up and drop off were easy. Otis seems like he had a good time during his stay.”
“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”
“Melisa was the best! She took such good care of our girls while we were away. She was thoughtful, respectful of their normal routines, and a great communicator. There’s just nothing like peace of mind when leaving your pets for days at a time.”
“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”
“Janelle was amazing with our Jimmy, yet again! I feel so comfortable leaving him at her house with her sweet family. I know that I do not have to worry about him at all. It's a great feeling to have, as a dog owner.”
“Grizzly had a great time with Emma and Marco!! Their home and fenced yard were well set up for doggies. From meet and greet to picking him up after our trip we felt very much at ease that Grizzly will receive great care. We received daily updates and appreciated the great communication. Highly recommend and would love to use them again.”
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”
“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”
“Maggie was so great with our dog while we were away for a weekend. He was well taken care of and we loved receiving photo updates each day while we were gone. We would highly recommend Maggie to anyone who needs boarding/doggy day care”
“Leaving our puppy for the first time was making me and my daughter second guess taking a vacation. But then we met Agnes. Our pup went to her immediately and watching her interact with him we knew he would be in good hands. We were able to completely relax and she sent us periodic updates and pictures through the week. If you are in the least bit hesitant about hiring Agnes do not be. She is a wonder.”
“We highly recommend Ricky for your pet-sitting needs! He took great care of our older Yorkie. He provided daily updates and feedback, along with photos. The feeding instructions and medication were followed without any issues, and our little one returned happy and healthy. Excellent stay :-)”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Melanie is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our pup for the first time. Her level of communication was perfect and I think Shasta was genuinely sad to come home.”
“Tiffani watched our dog for a week. I received pictures and video daily. He was obviously well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tiffani! We will definitely use her again.”
“Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”

Portland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Josh took incredible care of my husky and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, his communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring he kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. One of the best parts was his big yard, which gave my husky plenty of space to run, play, and burn off all that husky energy. It honestly felt more like a vacation for my dog than just a stay.
Adam was a wonderful gift for my family to find. He and his partner are very kind and welcoming people and I felt 100% at peace being out of the country and knowing my dog was well cared for. The communication and pictures were so helpful. They are a rare find and I will use them for all my travel. I am so grateful.
