“Susie was a calm and confident sitter for our dog, Gus. She was flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. A very warm and welcoming home. Gus was comfortable and well loved while we were out of town.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Juliann and her family. Our Marvel is always well-loved and gets lots of exercise when he stays with them. Most importantly, I know my boy is safe and happy while I’m away.”
“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”
“Thank you Dottie for taking care of our Molly! Dottie was so attentive to Molly’s health and needs the whole time and helped eased my concern. I was worried that Molly wouldn’t settle in and be part of the pack. Dottie was great with Molly and Dottie’s very well behaved dogs helped Molly fall in line with their pack. Dottie kept me up to date on how Molly was doing with pictures and texts. Thank you!! We’ll be coming back for an extended stay soon!”
“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“Marisela was accommodating, communicative, flexible and took great care of Philo. We had multiple changes to our booking but she was so understanding. We would love for her to watch Philo again. I highly recommend Marisela!”
“Kristopher took excellent care of our dogs. He was also a great communicator, quick to respond and kept us updated with pictures during the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“5 stars for Jean. I needed a very late pick up time and she was happy to accomodate. My Maltese Celeste was sitting in Jean's lap on the couch nice an cozy at the end of her stay. ”
“Paige & David did a wonderful job watching my dog. They are extremely welcoming and ready to make your pet feel at home with their family. Communication was excellent and consistent. Would use again!”
“Katie was so responsive! It was the first time leaving Sezzy (not with family or friends). Katie communicated and sent me sweet updates regularly throughout her stay! Looks like Sezzy had a fun time and made some new friends. Thank you again Katie!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our Siru! She took phenomenal care of our dog and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter, and she was so personable, kind, and communicative that she immediately put us at ease. She sent us lots of updates and adorable pictures throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made being away from him so much easier. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We came home to a very happy, well-loved dog! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again. Thank you, Siru!”
“Jami is amazing!! It felt like my dog was on vacation as well! Long hikes, dog parks daily and giving snuggles and extra loving! She even went above and beyond when my dog had a bit of an ear issue! I will definitely be reaching out to her every time I need a sitter as I know I’ll have zero worries!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience using Rover with Debra and her husband. We received regular updates as well as videos and pictures of our pooch. Debra was able to read our pups cues and made sure he felt at home. She also asked a lot of questions and genuinely seemed to enjoy taking care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her will look to use their services again in the future!”
“Yvonne was amazing! Salty was spoiled and I felt super lucky to have found someone that loved Salty as much as I do! I felt at ease on my trip and will definitely be using Yvonne again for Salty-care!!! ❤️”
“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.”
“Heather was amazing! We had not met heather in person until the time of drop off, she was so nice, kind, and great with our sweet Stella! I highly recommend using Heather, she was very attentive to Stella and trying to make her feel as at home as possible. She sent us photo updates every day.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
Alana was great. We were a little bit concerned about how our dog would react around her chickens (which are in a coop), so she offered to keep him on leash in the backyard while he got used to them. We appreciated that so much! He was well taken care of at her home.
Maddy has taken care of our rambunctious pup for multiple overnight stays and has cared for (and managed!) our pup so well. We really appreciate the daily updates, the transparency about how things are going and what other dogs are there (if any), and the wonderful playmate our pup has enjoyed in Maddy’s dog Amina. We have experienced a number of Rover sitters over the years, and Maddy’s professionalism rises to the top. Thank you Maddy we appreciate you!

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 Stafford 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 Stafford.
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 Stafford 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.
