“Kristopher was great! My five year old lab is high energy and not for everyone and he was happy to take her for a very long day for me. When I picked her up she was happy and tired. Plan on using Kristopher again!”

“Puppies first doggie daycare experience and it was a smashing success! Great appreciation for the the photo updates showing her having fun. she passed out the moment she got home. We are already scheduled for another visit!”
“Couldn’t have been happier with Tommy and the care he provided for Juniper. He’s very experienced and it shows. He sent pictures of junipers stay and other updates. Will definitely be booking more stays with Tommy.”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Jax had a blast with his buddies at “Uncle Allen’s” (not Allen’s name for himself). Just the exercise and socialization he wants and needs. We’re so grateful for this resource.”
“Susie was wonderful. We chatted for a bit when dropping Dexter off. He spent the day hanging out, watching TV, and being loved. We will be sending Dexter to Susie’s again for Thanksgiving.”
“Tara did a fantastic job with Huey! She was easy to communicate with and make a plan, even though I asked her to dog sit less with less than 24 hours notice. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day to ensure that Huey was having a good time. They even went on a long walk together! When I picked him up he was happy and content. I can tell that Huey was very comfortable with Tara, and I would highly recommend her caretaking!”
“Kathy took great care of our pup who can be a little on the nervous side. The second time we went there our dog knew where we were and excitedly went straight for the door to greet Kathy which I thought was very sweet. :) Good outdoor fenced space for dog to play and nice neighborhood.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I decided to start my own neighborhood dog-sitting business when I was 10 years old. Since then, I have owned, lived with, and cared for dogs of all kinds, ranging from an energetic and rambunctious German shepherd puppy to an anxious and quiet chihuahua old man :) I truly love spending my time caring for and hanging out with dogs (maybe even more than humans…) I am currently a fourth year clinical psychology PhD student finishing up my degree from home! My schedule is very flexible and I create my own hours. I am able to take multiple breaks throughout each day to go on walks or visit the park near my apartment. I work from home 3 days a week and am also around on weekends! I can board dogs in my home, pet and house sit from my clients’ homes, pop in to play with your dog or give him/her food and water, take your dog to the park, or take your dog on a walk! I am able to provide whatever services are needed, in whatever manner my clients would prefer.
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“My big girls favorite family! Her tail almost falls off when she knows she gets to come over! We appreciate the love and care you give her ♥️♥️♥️”
“Savannah has been absolutely great with my pup...& that's not easy! Tigger's a very high energy pup. Yet after daycare, he calm & tired from playing. Yeah! She genuinely loves dogs, which is a necessary quality in ANY dog sitter. She knew I was nervous about leaving him, so she sent pics to let me know he was okay. Tigger looked so happy playing with his compadres. Savannah has been very flexible & understanding with me too, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely continue to use her & would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Louise was such a wonderful sitter for my dog Atlas for the day. Her home was the perfect landing spot for him, there was a beautiful backyard to play in! She has a very welcoming personality and I will definitely book with her again in the future :).”
“This was our first doggy daycare experience and everything went great! The yard is great for the dogs to play and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Angelica. I was given text and picture updates, and could tell my pup was having the best day! We will be back for sure and are so thankful! 😄”
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I currently have two family dogs, and we just recently lost our cat. You can trust me to take great care of your pet(s). I have a flexible schedule with lots of availability this summer prior to going to college. I am happy to work with you to accommodate your schedule. For our dogs, I walk them, feed, and spend quality time with them. I have had experience with a ton of dog breeds and temperaments.
About: My husband and I have taken care of animals of all sizes and ages. Each pet has its unique lovable qualities. We wish we could have more full time but are doing this instead We work from home so we will always be home with your pet! Our dog Lilo and cat Jack will also keep your pets company. We have a fully fenced front and back yard. We have an easygoing 3 year old dog who is eager to make friends and a cat that enjoys playing with other pets (on his terms)
“It’s clear that Christopher and his family genuinely love dogs! He is easygoing, an excellent communicator, and incredibly accommodating. Mason felt comfortable right away and absolutely loves going to doggy daycare at Christopher’s. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands.”
“Cathy was absolutely wonderful not only did she take Sheldon into her home he felt it home, but she has a nice patio and she took him out for a walk all for a four hour visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s a very loving, kind and compassionate individual to get five stars, but I’d give her six if there were six stars available. Thank you, Cathy”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
Tommy was great. We booked him the day of 1 hour before we hoped to have someone watch our pup. We are driving through Portland but wanted to stop to check out a museum. Tommy made it possible for us to do that. He was quick to respond, his location was convenient and nice to drive through, he sent us lots of photos of our dog, and was very communicative. Thank you so much Tommy!! If we ever need a dog sitter in Portland again I’ll be sure to reach out to you.
Macey was able to assist with our pups last minute. She was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. She took our dogs on long walks and very attentive to them. They were happy and tired when we brought them home. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her services!
Briana has a lovely mellow vibe and my pup seemed so happy with her. Briana is very responsive and I appreciate that so very much. I know Elio can be a handful since he's young and has an enthusiastic personality but she had a great day with him. We will book again for sure!
We’ve come back to Ben again and again for his stellar care. Our 5 month old puppy is excited to spend time at Ben’s and we can rest assured knowing he’s being loved and attended to. Ben sends lots of photos and spends ample time with our pup throughout the day. Would highly recommend Ben to anyone who’s nervous to send their pup off. Ben has been our saving grace!!

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 Riverwood 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 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.
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 1,837 sitters in Riverwood, 89% 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.
