“We rebooked with Sarah and she provided another excellent long weekend of care for our dog when we were out of town! She sent cute pictures and updates and we felt so relieved to know our dog was in great hands once again.”
“Christopher took excellent care of Annie, giving her lots of individual attention. (She prefers people to dogs, so Christopher's undivided interest was just right.) He took her for fun outings, threw the ball for her, and generally made her feel special. He also went above and beyond what I expected by giving her an extended brushing and a bath: her very own spa treatment. He obviously loves dogs. Thanks, Christopher!”
“Jennifer is a great boarder and her kids were wonderful and gentle with Polly as well. The house is at the end of a street so it's nice and quiet. I appreciated the daily photo updates. I would definitely rebook. Thanks Jennifer!”
“I can't express my gratitude to Suzanne enough for the excellent care she once again provided for my dog, Cocoa. Cocoa always feels at home with Suzanne, loved, well-exercised, and just an all-around happy dog once I get to see her again after Cocoa stays with Suzanne. I also appreciate Suzanne's flexibility - we had *significant* snow in PDX recently, and Suzanne was able to work with the logistics of my delayed flight, etc. I couldn't recommend Suzanne more highly! :-)”
“My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”
“Dawn was great! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable in her house and around her dogs. She sent plenty of status of updates and pictures while watching my dog and my little guy was in great shape when I picked him up. Would definitely use again!”
“Garitt was a great sitter for Jack. From the jump he was very communicative. He set up a time for Jack to meet his dog, Chloe, to make sure they’d get along. After drop off he sent tons of pictures and videos of Jack. And at pickup, Jack was happy to see me, but didn’t rush off to go home, he stuck around to say bye and get some last scratches from his new friend Garitt.”
“Zoe and Noah were great hosts to our pup, Queso. We received daily updates and pictures while we were gone for our two-week trip, made sure to give her the necessary pills/vitamins, and gave her tons of love.”
“We hit the jackpot with Zo and Margaret!!! My girl is timid, has a sensitive tummy, and goes on a hunger strike every time I leave. Not only did Margaret and Zo treat her like the queen she is, they loved and pampered her like their own. I came home to a relaxed pup who was hesitant to leave (why would she want to?!)! There are no words adequate enough to convey my gratitude to Zo and Margaret. Their excellent care of my girl, their timely communication, and their highly evident love of animals allowed me to relax and enjoy a trip with my family. I am forever grateful!”
“Kristina had great communication with many updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was quick to respond and flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. My dog seemed to be enjoying himself too! Will definitely keep her in mind for future trips.”
“Amanda was great with my dog! She took care of her well and was very communicative. She has a great backyard for running around too, with is always a bonus. I would definitely take my dog back to her!”
“Our Cairn Terrier Cosmo spent 5 days with Catherine and had a great time with the other dogs. She came home happy and tired! Catherine sent photos and updates daily which we really appreciated.”
“Archie took very good care of my dog, Ace! Got a lot of good time sunbathing on the balcony or relaxing on the sofa. He was taken out three times a day, pictures/updates were sent to me daily and Archie even bought more male wraps when they ran out and sent me home with the rest!”
“Keelan and his wife were so wonderful to my baby boy Domino. They were communicative and flexible with my return from the Gorge Ampitheatre (you never know how much traffic there will be) they sent pics multiple times a day and based on the cuddles I saw in the photos I can tell Domino made himself at home with them and their two cute pups, Loki and Minty. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Kyle is great! Great communication and was willing to book last minute, saving our Christmas plans! Atlas had a great time, came home a tired pup. Sent pictures and I could see he was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Sydney was super responsive and took great care of my dog! She made sure he got his daily walks and sniffing in, and sent me cute pictures of their outtings. She was also really flexible in allowing me to extend his stay by a day last minute. Highly recommend her!”
“Hina had a blast staying at Manisha's! She was showered with love and attention from the whole family. She came back home a very happy and tired pup. Manisha was great to work with. Very prompt communicator and sent a ton of pictures and short videos. Her daughters even made a little card to go home with Hina. We're excited to have Hina stay with them again.”
“Yvonne and Sam are very kind, patient and understanding people. My elderly chihuahua was taken very good care of during 2 previous visits. Nice pics and I felt he was happy and comfortable there. No doubt I would use her again.”

We feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Kat to find care for a relative’s pet. Kat was super flexible and a great communicator. Passing along Kat’s updates and photos to our relative eased their anxiety and helped them prepare for a potentially life changing surgery. Our family is so very grateful for the care Kat provided!
Sandra took such great care of Wallis! She sent regular updates and let me know that Wallis was fitting in well with the other small dogs ❤️ Sandra was very easy to communicate with for drop off and was flexible when my pickup plans unexpectedly changed. Thank you so much!!!
Aubie had his very first stay with Christine and Steven over a long weekend and it seems that everything was great! One thing I especially appreciated was how they were very proactive in communication with photos and updates each day. This made me feel confident that he was getting good attention and care and walks. I am grateful they could watch him and I hope to rebook him for another stay soon!
My puppy had the best stay with Richard. He watched my puppy while I was out of town and did a wonderful job. Puppies are not easy with all that energy, but he took him on hikes and took perfect care of him. I came home to a happy, tired puppy. I feel so lucky to have found him.
Jung took such great care and consideration of my senior pup, i swore he wasn't going to want to come back with me. incredibly thoughtful, discerning, and kind, in one weekend Jung has become my pup's favorite person, and as an owner, it is comforting to know he's thriving when he is with her.
Jack and his partner watched both my dog and cat at their house and I could not be happier with the experience! 10/10 would recommend booking him. Jack is very kind and professional. I got lots of picture updates, he took my dog on lots of very fun adventures, and my cat seemed super happy with the calm and clean house. Will definitely book again whenever I’m back in the area. Thank you Jack!
Addy is incredible. As someone who is very anxious about leaving my dogs, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of updates & pictures, and was patient with changing pick up times/lateness. I couldn’t recommend her more to watch your dogs and I’ll definitely only be using her when I’m back in the area!
Two weddings, out-of-state, drew us away and we could not travel with our little Frenchie, Eiffel. Thankfully through Rover, we were able to re-connect with Nancy, and she was available to board Eiffel for our whole ten-day trip! I was so relieved! As Eiffel has boarded with her in the past for shorter stays that were always positive, having Nancy care for him for this longer stay was an easy decision. As expected, Eiffel had a great time; Nancy is a wonderful pet sitter. Her frequent updates and photos showed Eiffel fitting right in and enjoying his stay. There was lots of action in her home as well as walks in the neighborhood and to the park. It is so nice to say that in Nancy's care and with her tips to help him through this longest ever separation from us, everything went well. The Ritz has a '5 Star' rating and in my book so does Nancy! She truly connects with each pet and insures everything goes okay in every way.
Taylor is a great sitter! We needed our pups to be watched overnight and received sweet updates on how our girls were settling in, particularly our Velcro dog who doesn’t like it when we’re out of her sight. She even gave us a spare snuffle puzzle mat she had for Fable since she loves them, and without something to slow her down she eats too quickly. I was also relieved Taylor wasn’t fazed with Fable’s pulling or husky-whining at other dogs. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!
Uma and our 1 year old chiweenie got along perfectly. They were buddies and Pepper had the best time. Uma sent us daily photos and stayed in touch well. She communicated on how Pepper was settling in since she was with her for 2 weeks. She even reached out about Pepper not eating for a day, so we could help troubleshoot remotely. Highly recommend and will absolutely be using her again (hopefully many times)!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
