“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Great communication, provided updates and pictures. Thanks so much for taking good care of my pup for 4 nights when I had a family emergency. He means so much to me and my kids. It was so helpful knowing he was left in good hands. I could tell you walked him a lot when they spelled out w.a.l.k in lieu of saying the word, he gets so excited. Apologies again for the text meant for my buddy…”
“Stephanie was great. She took great care our Yellow Lab. She played Frisbee and Ball with her to give her lots of exercise. Stephanie was really nice and sent cute pictures too. I would recommend her.”
“Maria was a perfect sitter for our pup; daily walks, lots of love and patience, photos sent to us daily. We will definitely book with Maria again if we are going to be away. I feel as though I've found a friend and I know our dog shares that view.”
“Christopher was an excellent dog sitter for our 2 dogs. He responded quickly, sent updates and photos, and it was clear that our dogs enjoyed their stay there very much. His 2 dogs are sweet and friendly, and he has a nice big yard for everyone to run around. Looking forward to having them stay with him again.”
“We had an outstanding experience with Paulo. His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that he really cared about our pet’s comfort and routine. We highly recommend Paulo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible sitter!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper are perfect sitters for our shy dog! She gets lots of time to play/explore, spoiled with cuddles, and loves going over there. They’re always communicative throughout the stay.”
“Kaylee was extremely professional, very nice and sent me pictures of Beckham during the whole stay! I really appreciated how thoughtful she was; it made me very comfortable to know my dog was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely use her again!”
“Our first time having Jo Lynn and David sit for Griffin and couldn't be happier! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. You could tell right away how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after — kind, caring, and thoughtful in every interaction. They sent us photos almost every day, which we loved getting to see. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our dog was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Jo Lynn again and highly recommend them!”
“Another fantastic stay! So grateful for Lisa and how comfortable our guy is at her home upon drop off and pickup. Great communication daily, very kind and gentle person.”
About: I’m a dog owner and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I have a 7-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand the quirks of independent, strong-willed breeds. I work from home which means your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than sitting alone for hours. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Your pup will be well exercised, well loved, and well cared for. I work fully remote from home, meaning your dog gets consistent company and attention throughout the entire day. No long hours alone. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can accommodate last minute requests. Walks happen morning and evening, and as needed with plenty of downtime in between. Your dog will be staying in my clean, comfortable apartment where they’ll be treated like family. I’m an experienced dog owner with a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand dog behavior and body language well. I keep a calm, structured environment and will always communicate with you about how your pup is doing. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my priority.
“Jennifer and Eric and their two sons were amazing with my nine month old pup! I was so grateful to have a safe loving home for my dog to be at while I was out of town. Thank you again so much for treating her like your own!”
“Barry was great! He took wonderful care of our Bella while we were away. He sent many pictures too. We are so grateful to have found Barry and would definitely use him again!”
“Chewbacca (Chewy) had a wonderful stay with Josh and Leah. We recieved pictures often and updates on how he was doing. He was well taken care of as if he was a member of their own family. We highly recommend Joshua and Leah for your dogs stay! We can't thank them enough for their kindness to our Chewy!”
“We really enjoyed having Kelley and her family watch our Rickey Bobby. He came home happy! (And tired from all the fun!). Kelley even helped clean his ear as it was showing signs of a possible infection. She really cares for your dog!”
“Vanessa was wonderfully communicative and considerate, and both of her pets seemed like absolute sweethearts too! I’m so grateful to have trusted her with my dog Dagger’s care, and would be relieved to do so again if I’m ever in the area in the future and need to!”
“Mersal was terrific. The day I was scheduled to drop off Ramona, we had a minor issue that required a vet visit. This not only delayed our drop-off time but also involved Ramona needing medication while she stayed with Mersal. Mersal took it all in stride, provided ongoing updates along with some very sweet pictures, and Ramona made a new friend with Cora, Mersal's dog. This was the first time that Ramona spent any extended time with another dog and it was clear that she and Cora bonded. I definitely recommend Mersal and I plan to use her again in the future.”
“Thank you, Heather! Our trip was great, knowing Thor was in caring hands. Heather is a very caring and professional sitter. She kept us updated with information and photos of our pup while we were out of town. We highly recommend Heather's services.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
I am so grateful to have found Hannah, Spencer and their lovely pup Hazel to watch Hero when we are traveling. It was his second stay with this lovely family. I received regular updates and pictures from them which really helped me enjoy my vacation. Hero loves being with Hazel and always comes back happy and healthy. Thank you for loving Hero like your own and I sure hope that Hero gets to be with you again on our next vacation!
This was my first time booking with rover for a dog sitter and I would say Angelica made this process super easy for me and my partner. She was very flexible with time and open to meeting before actually booking with her. This made me feel comfortable and gave my dog the opportunity to visit the place he’d be staying. Thank you for watching Fendi! We will definitely be booking with you again❤️
From our first meet and greet through his first stay with Dylan, our rambunctious adolescent boy Lowell was in excellent hands. Dylan kept Lowell busy and happy and kept us informed with frequent photos and videos. He even spent some time working through some training exercises! Since this was Lowell's first time with an unknown sitter, I was anxious. Dylan's calm and confident nature put me completely at ease. I feel confident that we'll reach out to Dylan whenever we need a sitter again.
My little dog Waffle is very timid and doesn’t warm up to many people. With that said, she LOVES Stephanie. She lets her give her belly rubs, which she reserves for very special people she trusts. The other thing that is wonderful for Waffle are the other dogs that Stephanie watches. Waffle loves them and has a ball playing with them. Stephanie as a nice size yard for the dogs to enjoy. Stephanie is the best!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Kendall! She was genuinely caring, attentive, and treated our dogs like her own. Her communication was top-notch—she kept us updated with clear check-ins and sent fantastic photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved her! We will definitely be reaching out to her again.
Once again Teddy loved his stay with Morgan. Morgan went above and beyond when Teddy landed on a stick jumping around playing ball. Morgan took him to the vet and made sure he followed directions gave him all his meds and made him chicken, rice and vegetables. Thank you Morgan!

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 West Haven home-away-from-home, 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 West Haven.
<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 West Haven 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 , 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 .
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.
