“We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.”
“Christine did a great job with Nellie and I’d definitely book with her again/recommend her to others. I appreciated that she wanted to meet first to make sure our dogs were compatible and that she kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away.”
“Wendy gave video and picture updates throughout the day. It was awesome to see my 4 month old pup playing with other dogs. Hazel was snoring in the car before we made it one block! 😂 Very good communication. Definitely recommend.”
About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.
“Once again, Maggie came to my rescue last minute! I thought I had booked then three days before event checked only to find out I did not book. But then…Maggie answered the call with a resounding YES, I can care for Atticus that day! Atticus was thrilled and gave his thanks with love 🧡. Mega Maggie!! Filled with love for the pets she cares for. Thank you, thank you!!”
“Jennifer is a sweetheart. She brought Lola right outside when I pulled up. She gave me photos and videos. My dog was so tired when I picked her up I can tell she had a great time cause when Jennifer turned around to leave Lola tried to follow her 😂 I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have always loved dogs. I have one dog at the moment and dog sitting fulfills my need for a second dog. I recently lost my first dog, Peekaboo the Cockapoo, and have been heart broken ever since. I do have an amazing dog Moose (3y/o 40# all American brown dog mix) and I don’t want her to ever feel lonely so hosting dogs or going to walk other dogs has been a great way for her to get personalized one on one attention! I love my dogs so much they bring me so much joy we love to take walks around my beautiful neighborhood 3 to 4 times a day we have space to play and beds to lay on and take naps in the sun, we look forward to getting the chance to meet you all soon ! I work full-time from home with a digital marketing career. I am able to monitor my animals all day. Every day we go for 3 to 4 walks around my mile and a quarter neighborhood block. I have tons of space for your dog to be crated or to nap on their bed or to nap on my bed I am very attentive to my animals needs. I typically know that if an animal is out of sight, then they must be getting into some thing so if I see that they don’t want to be near me, we go for a walk I’m always available for a pet or a cuddle in between my business calls. With the nearby trails, I am always out exploring with my animal friends
“Izadora was so kind she came picked up Allie for us and watched her for the day!! She was respectful and reliable definitely would have her come and take care of our puppy again!! Thank you for everything:)”
“Jenna was great with our anxious and jumpy pup. She took him on walks, spent good time outdoors, sent regular updates, and had a great, calming demeanor with him. She was very flexible even when we came to her last minute. Definitely recommend!”
“Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.”
“Ariadne did a great job caring for our puppy for a day on short notice! It's easy to tell that she loves animals and had a great time playing with our pup. Her fenced in backyard was an excellent and safe environment for our small dog.”
“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”
About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.
“The whole family was so sweet and loving to our princess Zina! Zina was so excited to see her the next day, tail wagged with excitement ❤️ Well definitely use Nes the next time we need help ?”
“Melanie was great with Haylee and provided a fun day for our little girl. This was the first time we have used a dog day care with Rover and were not sure how Haylee would be. Melanie took time to meet us and Haylee. It was a comfort to know Haylee was in good hands as we got pictures and updates.”
About: I have expierence handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have always had a love for dogs and after receiving my first pup at the age of 5 I knew I always wanted to be around them. To me a dog is family and I treat them like so. I'm not just a sitter or a walker I'm more of a best friend your dog will always have. My goal is to build a bond with your dog so they trust me. I will treat each and every one with respect and I will bring happiness. Dogs need a reliable companion, a person who is willing to put in the time and effort to build a relationship with them and learn about the qualities that make them different. I am that reliable companion your dog needs. Hope to see your fury little friend soon. I primarily work from home and make my own schedule which gives me the availability, flexibility and opportunity to manage a weekly routine for pet care. I utilize leashes, dog parks and fenced in yard spaces. I utilize crates provided by the pet parent to ensure a safe and trustworthy environment.
“Will once again took the best care of Romeo and we couldn’t be happier! Our little guy is always in the best hands and Will truly had the best connection with dogs, giving them the love and attention they need while in his care!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been lucky enough to have a dog by my side for most of it. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, as well as provided drop-in visits for cats. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I am home the majority of the day, giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks, along with lots of cuddles, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I live in a ranch-style home with no stairs, making it easy and comfortable for your pup to get around. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I have a large yard with a dog lead, and I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel right at home! 😊

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 Portland 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 CT 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.

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.
