“Nadine took SUCH good care of my pups! They loved their time with her. The backyard is amazing… so much room to roam. And her pets got along so well with mine. Lots of communication and photos. It was so nice to know my babies were being loved on so much while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Nadine!!!!”
“Liz and her family did a great job caring for our dog. You can immediately tell that they love animals and your dog is in safe hands with them. I will absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a caring home away from home.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“Our pup got cuddles and attention that she would never had the opportunity to enjoy with typical boarding. Thank you, Kayla and family, for treating our baby as part of your family. 💜💜”
“We had to leave our 5 month old pup for first time since bringing him home for a total of 7 nights with a sitter and couldn't have been happier having him spend his time with Melody. The daily pictures I was receiving made me question if he'd even want to come home :) Thank you for taking such good care of Ryker ab”
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Stan was awesome! Took great care of our dog and very flexible. Our dog can be a bit anxious and growly with new people and he handled this very well - will be rebooking!”
“I feel so relieved that I have someone like Myrna to leave my dog Shanti with when I go out of town! It’s always a really easy process and I love the photos I get while away. I can tell my dog is cared for and happy whenever I return home. Thank you Myrna! - James & Shanti”
“Finley loved spending time with Heather, her husband, and their furry bunch! He had so much fun making new friends and they took very good care of him for the few night we were gone. Heather sent pictures of the pups playing and was very communicative the whole time! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Emily and her dog, Bowie, were the perfect hosts for our dog, Maxie. Emily was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and followed all care instructions. We could tell Maxie had a great time!”
“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.”
“Kristina is wonderful! My pup Stoof has separation anxiety, and Kristina did such an amazing job making Stoof feel comfortable and loved. Stoof was very well taken care of and gots lots of walks, cuddles, and comfort 💛”
“Carrie + family were great with my older dog. Lola isn't often with "new people." But I could see by the photos that she settled in and was very comfortable. Will definitely ask Carrie to care for her in the future.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had as many as three dogs at a time and have raised several of them from puppies through their senior years. Within the last couple of years, I said goodbye to my dogs as they reached old age, and after taking a little break, I’m ready to have dogs in my life again. Rover feels like the perfect way to do that while helping other people feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I have plenty of experience with large dogs and am very comfortable with their personalities, energy, and needs. My most recent dog was a Great Dane who lived to be 13 years old, so I also have firsthand experience caring for senior dogs and the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. Over the years, I’ve also owned and cared for pit bulls, boxers, terriers, and other breeds with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I’ve raised dogs from puppies, cared for them throughout their adult lives, and helped them comfortably through their senior years. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes your dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I currently work from home and so does my other half. There would be very few times your pet would be left unattended while staying in our home. We have a large home with a huge fenced backyard so your dog can play freely without worry. Currently we do not have any pets of our own. For larger dogs we still have elevated food and water dishes.
“Pam was great with my Murphy!! She has a great backyard for doggies and you can tell she really loves dogs! He had a great time with Pam and her husband was also super nice!! I would recommend anyone to book with Pam. I hope Murphy can visit them again!”

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 Viola 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 Viola.
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 Viola 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.
