“Highly recommend. I had a no show babysitter and Deann came through at the last min and took the best care of my Bowie! I got lots of updates and pictures :). I would trust her a million times over with my boy.”
“Tisha came through and saved our butts and watched our 2 month old pup after she had only been home for a couple days with us, the dog was happy and well looked after and we were sent updates and pictures. If you are in the coastal bend and need a sitter go with this one!”
“Cindy and her family were amazing with my French bulldog puppy, Bleu. She sent updates and pictures, they gave him so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“We know Kamilla is in good hands when she's with Stephanie. Kamilla gets lots of love and attention and is a happy pup when we pick her up. So grateful to Stephanie for being accommodating in our drop off and pick up. This was her second stay with Stephanie and we will definitely use her again.”
“Melinda is wonderful, kind, caring and flexible. We feel so safe leaving our dog Dale with her and her family, and he loves being there. We will continue to visit Melinda in the future!”
“Khea has been watching Charcoal for over a week now every day. She is very responsible and Charcoal is always excited to go there and play with her kids and the other dogs. Khea is also extremely nice and is flexible with timing if you need to drop off a little later or pick up a little later. I highly recommend Khea to watch your furry family member.”
About: My family has always had pets. Growing up, we had dogs of every kind and size. As an adult, we have had several pets, but currently have one husky named Luna and one cat named Darcy Binks! They are well loved. Let us bring our care and affection to your sweet pets! I'm a homemaker mom of six babies, one dog, one cat, and 8 kittens. My kiddos will all be in school and out of the house, so, I'm wide open on scheduling. We have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking. We can play with your pets after feeding and watering. After the last visit of the day, we will clean and dispose of any droppings in the yard, so you can come home to a clean start!
About: Animals are my friends! The unadulterated joy of seeing a kitty cat run after a laser, or throwing a ball for a puppy- cant beat it. 4pm to night time any day, weekends all day and night. I treat my babies like my own children, as I will yours. My babies are sweet! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, snacks, ample love, play and cuddles. Spa day provided upon request! I have a shi tzu, so I know a spa day!

“Just wanted to leave an updated review. My dogs still LOVE Dominique and her family. My husband and I are extremely grateful for the love and care she has shown our pups over the past year with boarding and daycare. Wholeheartedly recommend!”
“My Stormie loved going to Monica’s house for daycare. This was the first time I utilized Rover and took my dog with me while out of town on work. Monica and I communicated throughout the day and she made me feel at ease. The next time I am in Corpus for work I will definitely bring Stormie and utilize Monica again.”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for about 6 years ranging from dogs and cats to ducks and pigs. I love taking care of furry friends and adapt well to each animals unique personality. Whether it’s going for long walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or just offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home regularly, which makes it easy to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I have a fully fenced backyard and two fur babies of my own, a cat and a dog who are great with other animals. My dog is free roaming, but I also have an extra crate if needed. I make sure all pets get plenty of attention, including frequent walks and outdoor play. Whether in my home or a client’s, I always provide a safe, clean, and caring environment.
“I highly recommend Jen! My dog was so comfortable with her and had such an amazing experience during his stay. She was so caring and attentive, and I really appreciated that she took pictures and sent them to me throughout his stay—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. 🐶❤️ 10/10 would recommend Jen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby. She truly is the best! Thank you so much, Jen! 🥰”

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 TX 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 92 sitters in Portland, 98% respond to messages in under an hour.
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.
