“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“This was a last minute scheduling and I can not say enough about my experience with Jamie. My dog jack had a wonderful time and I was very pleased with how he was treated. I received updates Dailey with photos which all pet owners appreciate. If you are looking for someone to take great care of your pet, consider Jamie. Truly and fantastic job and will use his services again!”
“Shari is the absolute best! Roscoe had never stayed with anybody except for us and she made him feel so loved and relaxed. We are so thankful for the care she provided our pup and for the updates and pictures. I was so nervous to leave him but she reassured us that he would have a wonderful stay and she was right. Her disposition is so sweet and calming. Highly recommend!”
“Jean is amazing. So amazing that when I had to board my dog again the following weekend I went right back to her! She is not only relaxed and very accommodating but she is tentative and sends lots of fun puppy-photos and updates so you're confident your four-legged friend is happy on vacation! This is easy-breezy, choose Jean!”
“Susie took great care of my two dogs, she kept me posted and sent me pictures on a daily basis. Both dogs were happy and healthy. Will use her services again when needed.”
“Noemi and her family were a perfect fit. They were thoughtful, caring and I'm pretty sure our Ella would have moved in. Ella came back happy, healthy and I could tell she had a great time. Will book again next time. Thanks Noemi (and fam)!”
“So grateful that we were able to book Peter to watch Timber and Willow. After meeting Peter I was very comfortable with the booking. Peter provided status updates and photos throughout the stay. At pickup time though the dogs were happy to see me, they seemed sad to have to leave. I highly recommend Peter and will definitely use his services next time we are in the area.”
“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“She did an amazing job with our dog. Our dog can be really fussy and linda was super patient with her. Linda is also extremely competent communicative and always responds quickly. She provides detailed updates and lots of pictures everyday which was so nice when we were gone. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Mariia was a wonderful pet sitter treated my cat as her own. I couldn't have asked for better care for her. Will definitely look up Mariia for pet sitting in the future!”
“Our dog is treated so well by Kathy that he’s on his own little vacation when she cares for him. She sends lots of updates and makes our pup feel very loved.”
“Wow…I just can’t say enough how wonderful Tommy was! He provided so many wonderful updates that made me feel like I could really enjoy my vacation. I had A LOT of anxiety leaving my baby with a stranger. The reviews helped, but I still was nervous. The reviews were completely accurate! He took such good care of Nala! I could tell she had a great time! Deeply appreciate all his great care! HIGHLY recommend!”
“Angelica has watched our pup for multiple long 10-day stretches and short weekend getaways, and our pup always always pulls and starts whining in excitement when she sees Angelica. Our pup isn’t the easiest because she’s young, large, and high energy. Angelica has no problem managing her, keeping her training up, and even sending her home with better manners. She’s also very diligent in finding playmates and making sure she socializes appropriately with the other pups. It is a relief to find someone that can take not only take care of your pup, but also :care: about them. Angelica does both and we could not be more at ease knowing our pup is with her!”
“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.”
“Our boy Benny loves staying with Damon. He’s attentive, loving and always fun for the pups. Benny is comfortable and happy and that’s what matters when we have to leave him.”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog, Fred, providing a wonderfully caring and safe environment for him. It gave us such peace of mind to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We really enjoyed the daily updates and pictures she sent. Our dog can be quite shy around new places and people, so we were thrilled and pleased that things went so well. It was clear he was well-fed and loved. We won't hesitate to book with Leslie again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
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!
We booked Tommy again, this time for a longer stay of 3 days as we travelled to Seattle for a longer stay weekend. Tommy gave us daily updates with pictures. I really got the feeling that he knows how to take care of dogs with all sorts of personalities (ours can be vocal at times). The dogs came back happy but tired. I really trust Tommy to look after these guys and will be doing an extended boarding with him sometime in the future!
Kathy is just the best, so attuned to my dog Lucy, and sensitive to her needs. Lucy had such adventures on her daily walks, exploring new parks each day and the local wildlife (squirrels). Got daily photos and updates on Lucy's days. I'm so grateful for the care Kathy provides!
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!! ♥️
Lauren did a wonderful job with taking care of Zoe. great communication and provided plenty of pictures to ensure us of Zoes wellbeing and comfort. i appreciated the suggestions of a meet and greet prior to commitment. when we picked our pup up after a 3 day stay, she was in good spirits. we would definitely reach out to Lauren again for our pet boarding needs. thank you
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!
Lisa was awesome! Lisa is a great a communicator and provided updates throughout the day. Melo was well cared for and a good time playing with their dog Mateo in their fenced-in yard. Melo is not crate trained yet and he was able to be out and sleep where he was comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to use Lisa in future.
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, we recommend 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
