“Kristopher was very accommodating for a last minute overnight stay. Like, hours before last minute! He kept me updated with pictures of my pup and made sure to give my pup lots of outdoor time. When I picked up, Kristopher gave me a quick summary of my dogs stay which I appreciated a lot! My dog came home very happy 😊 I would recommend him to friends and family!”
“Sharon is amazing. She sent me pictures everyday. Clara is a 8 pound Havanese and very spoiled. Sharon is a a new trusting friend if Clara’s. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Sharon for loving our little girl.???”
“noemi was so great with my dog while i was away! she really understood how to take care of a senior dog, was flexible about letting him go out, sent many pictures of him while i was away; and he seemed very calm and content when i went to go pick him up after my trip. i highly recommend her!”

“Maria was a perfect sitter for our pup; daily walks, lots of love and patience, photos sent to us daily. We will definitely book with Maria again if we are going to be away. I feel as though I've found a friend and I know our dog shares that view.”

He did very well at there place, and I am very confident that he will continue to do well there, as I will continue to bring him to there house Thank you again for all your help and support.”
“Chelsea and her husband were amazing. We left our 9 year old black lab with them for three nights while we were out of town and we could not have been more comforted that he was in good hands. Chelsea sent several photos and messages and was an amazing communicator. They are obviously big dog lovers and our dog clearly loved being at their house. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Hollie- clear communication, and nice updates throughout our trip. My pup seemed to get on swimmingly with her dog Norman, and she happy and healthy on her return. We would be happy to work with Hollie again!”
“This is our second time with Catherine and her pack and we couldn't be happier with our dogs care. Cosmo is a Cairn Terrier, smaller than most of the dogs she sits, yet they all get along so well and play together. Catherine takes individual needs into account and we will be happy to have her sit for us again!”
“Mariah did a great job. She sent me photos of Harper getting comfortable at her house and updates consistently throughout Harper's stay. Mariah even went above and beyond boiling chicken and rice to mix with Harper's dog food when it appeared she wasn't eating. Excellent dog sitter.”
“Thank you Laura for taking such great care of my boys while I was away for 9 days! I really appreciated all the updates, photos and fun little tidbits of what was going on throughout each day. I could tell they enjoyed their stay by just how calm they are now that we are all back home - thank you SO much!! We'll be back!”
“Bonnie was so great with Cedar, we knew he was happy and well cared for. So happy we found a great place for Cedar to visit when we need the extra help.”
“Dottie's care for Oatmeal was top notch!!. She went above and beyond, paying close attention to Oatmeal's needs, providing personalized touches, and keeping us updated. Her passion and professionalism make her an outstanding pet caregiver. She knows and understands various breed tendencies which is extremely helpful. We highly recommend her!”
“Laura truly cares about dogs and will take amazing care of your dog. My dog is very timid and scared of most people. She was in great hands with Laura. Laura has a beautiful backyard where your dog can run around or just lay in the sun.”
“Mariia saved me at short notice when another sitter canceled unexpectedly and I needed overnight care for my dog. Mariia is a kind and understanding and took excellent care of Atlas and sent me photos and updates. I was honestly surprised how well it went, considering my dog is anxious and needy. I would hire Mariia again in a heartbeat.”
“Emily was wonderful! She did a meet-up prior to our pup’s stay to ask questions and become familiar with our senior dog. She provided pictures throughout the stay and even trimmed my pup’s nails because she is a trained vet tech, and it’s been so difficult for me to get her in for an appointment. I would definitely recommend Emily because I will be rebooking her again for my next vacation!”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
“Alicia took excellent care of my senior dog, Athena. She was very communicative, responsive, went above and beyond, and Athena was very sad to leave at the end of her stay.”
“One of my dogs had to go to the vet and was put on several medications the day before we left. Ron had no problem caring for him and making sure he received his medicine. He also kept me updated on how he was doing. Everything went great and the dogs came back happy and well cared for.”
“Our pups loved their stay with Hayleigh! We appreciated Hayleigh’s willingness to do a meet and greet before our first stay to ensure her home and pup were a good fit for Scout and Charley. Hayleigh was very responsive and we felt confident our pups were in good hands.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
My dog Nellie had the best time with Lauren! Nellie was spoiled with lots of play time and trips to the park, and I felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving her in Lauren’s care. I received lots of updates and Lauren was patient with all of Nellie’s quirks. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience! He communicated really well, was flexible with small changes to timing, and was so kind and understanding when our dog had a little nervous accident right when we arrived. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl in his care and would absolutely recommend him to others. Thank you for being so kind and accommodating! 😊
Marybeth was amazing with my dog Wendy! My dog can be a little nervous with new people but I could tell from the pictures I received that she was having so much fun at Marybeth’s house. Marybeth was great at sending me updates and communicating. I would definitely recommend!
Megan and Ryan were incredibly kind, responsive, and caring with our Rosie. They kept us updated with regular messages and pictures and were genuinely concerned about her well-being, especially as her health has been declining. They provided excellent care and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful for their compassion and attention to Rosie. I highly recommend them if you want someone you can truly trust with your pet!
Melanie and Jeremy took care of Una while we were in Portland, and this was our second time having her stay with them. They were easy to communicate with and Una was comfortable and settled when we picked her up. We appreciated knowing she was safe and cared for while we were away. Thank you both for taking care of Una!! ♥️
Very responsive and helpful. We needed a sitter on short notice to house our dogs overnight so we could attend a concert we came to Portland for. Laura was quick to respond, easy to work with. Laura has a great set up. Tall, private fence for the back yard. She was very caring and attentive to the pups. Sent us some great pictures in the evening and morning. We are so grateful for getting a night out together. If/when we come back through Portland, we will look up Laura again.
Rena was absolutely amazing with Mavis! We are so pleased with the level of love and care she received from both Rena and her partner. Rena gave us updates and sent us photos every day. Her communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. This was honestly the best dog sitting experience we have ever had. If I could give more than five stars I would. :)
Tom and his partner are amazing, responsive, and caring. My dog was so excited to see them again, and she left their home in such a great mood. They always listen to my dog’s specific needs (meds, behavior) and take great intentional care of her. Would highly recommend!
Naomi was fantastic with our sweet girl Coco 🩷🐶She was super responsive and extremely sweet in sending us lots of pictures of our sweet pup. We are so lucky we found her, she helped us so we could make a very necessary trip out of town. Thank you so much Naomi, Coco had a great time with you and your sweet girl Lola!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Riverwood home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Riverwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Riverwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
