“Annmarie was amazing with our boy!!!! He is a shy timid dog and she was so kind and patient with him!!! I got pictures and an update every single day. She truly treated him like he was hers, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a pup sitter.”
“She deserves all the stars. Desiree and her husband welcomed me and my pup into their home. Took us out in the back yard, let me make sure Zeus was good to go. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the boarding. Waked Zeus. I could tell she treated him like one of her own. I highly reccomed Desiree!”
“Michael was a wonderful sitter for our Billie Jean. He is a great communicator who cared about keeping her both safe AND happy. She had a wonderful time. I highly recommend!!”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”
“Excellent Experience! Loved all the photos and updates Anita sent throughout the week. The love, care and compassion Anita has for animals shines through! We call it going to camp!”
“Ethan did a wonderful job with my boy. He hadn’t been boarded on his own before and he had a great time! Ethan sent me updates with videos and photos each day. He was flexible with us picking up earlier than anticipated. Will definitely have him watch Enzo again!”
“As usual Jennifer was fantastic with my dogs. One of my dogs Lucy was having some heat exhaustion problems or potentially from a seed that was caught in her throat (strange constant licking and vomiting for first hour and a half that resulted in me calling vets while at Jennifer's house). That resulted in her needing some extra attention and Jennifer did everything should possibly could to ensure she was comfortable and well taken care of with plenty of updates! My other dog, being the doofus he is, was just having a good time as always!”
“Sheena took great care of our dog, who stayed with her for over two weeks! You can tell she genuinely cares. She sent daily photos with updates, which we really appreciated. Our dog came home healthy and happy. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Molly was wonderful with Sherman and clearly has a love of dogs. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Molly for taking good care of my angel.”
“Great sitter for our playful goldendoodle. Jordin is very communicative and sends plenty of updates. She’s super friendly and is flexible with scheduling. We’re definitely going to rebook with her during our short stay here in Tacoma. 👍🏽”
“Always a fantastic time. Milo adores Luisa and her family. He’s loved, entertained, and cared for with flair. I totally recommend her if you’re looking for an amazing sitter.”
“Lizzie was incredible! My Bruce had sooooo much fun staying with her pack (human and animals alike). Her own dogs were very friendly with him and welcoming, and she spoiled him with lots of long walks, trips to the dog park, and games of fetch. He was a super happy pup when I picked him up and can't wait to book with her again!”
“Lisa was fantastic! Her communication was great well she had our dog over thanksgiving week and we were able to relax and enjoy family on our trip knowing that our Cierra was being well taken care of.. we will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Lesly and her husband were great! They were flexible for pick-up and drop-off, and it sounded/looked like my guy had a great time during his stay. When we left, their daughter said goodbye to "Gussie" because he's a similar mix to their dog - or maybe all dogs are "Gussie". :) We've already booked another stay in August and are looking forward to it!”
“We always love having Nugget stay with Lauren and Dalton! Nugget was so excited to be dropped off because he is now familiar with them. We always love getting pictures and videos for updates. They are truly amazing with him!”
“Erica was very attentive and loving to our dog Calvin. He gets so stressed when we go out of town, which in turn causes me a lot of anxiety for leaving him. I was able to talk to Erica before our trip and ask questions, reiterate Calvin's likes and dislikes and just get a general feeling of how she would handle any situations that could potentially pop up. They got along so well that I don't think Calvin was ready to come home, HA! I received several updates throughout my trip and it was clear that she was taking care of him just as I would be. 💚”
“Darby had wonderful attention to detail and quick communication. She lives a small farm and allowed our Daisy to "choose her own adventure", which of course our pup loved! I would definitely recommend and would trust Darby with Daisy 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 Agate 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 Agate.
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 Agate 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 WA 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.
