“Skye-Ann took good care of my pup. She sent pictures and kept me updated while I was gone. She even stayed up late so we could pick her up. I was very happy with the Rover stay. Thank you.”
“WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Eduardo did a great job watching my little Maltipoo . My daughter's wedding was in Hood River. I was able to enjoy all the activities and was so relieved that my doggie was in such good hands. Received regular updates and pictures that made my weekend worry free. I will be using Eduardo again for any future needs.”
“This was our pups first overnight away from his family. Katlyn was a great caregiver to our Ember and even sent us some pictures while we were away. It was also an added bonus that she had a playmate there which was Katlyns dog Luca. I think that helped her feel more at ease and comfortable. A great place to have our dog and will absolutely have her stay there again.”
“Our puppy Juno had a great time staying with Laura and Brian. We were on a rafting trip and were completely out of service, but we felt so good about Juno being in great hands while we were gone! Loved the photos and we came home to a very happy puppy. Thank you!”
About: I currently have a pup of my own who I have been training. She still has work to do. I have spent years prior to that being the house/animal sitter back home in West Virginia. I work part time. I am a teacher during the school year. In the summer I just work 5 hours 2 days a week at a local winery. I usually walk/bike my dog every morning before work. On days I do not, I try to get her out on a longer walk or swim when the weather is really hot. I have a very flexible schedule in the summer to fit in other animals. I am pretty vigilant when it comes to my own dog. I try to make sure she gets plenty of exercise. She needs it. I love getting her socialized with older and younger dogs. I have even taken my pup to school with me to socialize best with my students are blind. I would follow the care needs set forth by the dog/cat parents. Please be sure to give special instructions if needed.
“What a wonderful spot and such a kind and gracious couple. Samantha and Colton watched our standard poodle on a last minute booking. Scout loved her stay! She puttered around the farm, played with Mosely, their sweet and cheerful aussie, and was happy relaxed girl when we picked her up. The property is spacious, safe and so cool! Samantha and Colton are in the process of developing a beautiful vineyard along the Columbia River called, The Narrows. They shared a bottle with us and it is fantastic. Samantha kindly told us about the history of the property, showed us the progress they have made thus far, and shared their future plans. I would be thrilled to leave Scout there again and hope to visit once the winery is fully up and running. A great experience all around. I highly recommend Samantha and Colton for your 4-legged famiy member. Five stars all around!”
“Charlie was great! Very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs and much more. Absolutely gave my boy a little vacation and toured him the sites and spots all over. Really enjoyed all the picture and video updates as well. I’d recommend Charlie to anyone who wants the best for their pet while they are away.”
“For anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter, you can’t get any better than Roseann. I drive 2.5 hours out of my way from Salem Oregon every time I need someone to watch my mini Dachshund for a couple of days. She is both reliable and amazing with dogs. Cash just came back from his most recent four day stay as happy as always. Thanks again Roseann!”

“Emily was so great!! She watched our golden retriever who has a lot of energy and my dog was so tired and happy when I picked her up. Her dogs are so sweet and had so much fun with my dog, and I felt like Emily was really caring and understanding of some diet needs she has. I’ll definitely board with her again!”
“Thank you so much Brittney for taking very good care of Benny. I really appreciate the updates with photos you sent! Also thank you for the hair grooming touch up you did for his face. He looks so good! I will definitely use your service (if you are available of course) when I am back in town.”
“Absolutely amazing at taking care of my 2 dogs! Left my 2 Huskies with Moriah for 4 days and she sent daily pictures as well as taking them on walks when they already have a fenced yard! Absolutely would trust her with my dogs again!”
“Jaleh was wonderful with my dog, made her feel right at home and kept us updated with a sunbathing picture everyday 🤗 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coverage for their beloved animal.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience in caring for puppies and older pups. I live just outside White Salmon, WA, with easy access to scenic walking trails and a spacious yard for playtime. I’ve volunteered as a puppy raiser for a nonprofit that trains service dogs, successfully raising four pups for their important roles. During the summer, my home is pet-free as my partner and our dog travel south, meaning your furry friend will have my undivided attention. I used Rover years ago when I was on a work assignment in CA. Since then, I have been caring for foster dogs and friends' pets. I offer overnight stays at my home or house-sitting in yours, ensuring your dog stays comfortable in a familiar environment. Since I work from home, your pup will have plenty of companionship and outside breaks throughout the day. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can make your dog feel at home! I work from home, so I often have time for outside breaks and play during the day. I keep busy on the weekends recreating in the area. I'm always happy to find adventures that work your pup! I have a large, partially fenced yard for playtime and potty breaks. We allow pets on our furniture, so your rules for your pets would apply here as well. I am also happy to travel to your home to care for your pet as needed. I like to learn how pet owners choose to care for their pets so I can be as consistent as possible.

Katlyn was amazing while we were in town for a wedding and she watched our pup. She provided ample updates throughout and know that he was very tired and we picked him up after his stay. If I’m ever back in the area, we will definitely seek her out again. Thank you again for going above and beyond and for all you do!

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 The Dalles 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 The Dalles.
<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 The Dalles 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.
