“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”

I especially appreciated her safely fenced back yard. Looking forward to Dozer spending time with Holly again.”

“Cade and his family took wonderful care of our pup Luna. We were overseas for 3 weeks, which felt like an eternity away from her, but we felt happy & confident in the care she was receiving. This was our first time leaving her anywhere so we couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. Cade sent updates and photos almost daily and that was great for us. Seeing her & hearing how she was doing helped us feel at ease. They made her part of the family & she got lots of love and attention. The huge enclosed outdoor space they have is beautiful for roaming, walks & hanging out in the sun. We could see how much Cade loves dogs and his knowledge and experience was helpful and welcomed as Luna has only been with us for 6 months. We will absolutely bring Luna back to Cade’s anytime we need boarding for her. Thank you Cade :)”

We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was so well looked after. Shawn gave us updates with pictures everyday and was quick to respond. We would absolutely leave her with Shawn again in the future.”

“I have to be honest, I was hesitant to leave my two best friends with a complete stranger. Addison didn’t feel like a stranger within 5 seconds of meeting him in person. Him and his family took such great care of my boys, and put my mind completely at ease while I was out of town for Christmas. Daily pictures and check-ins were sent to me unprompted, which I could not have been more appreciative of. Rover, I’m not sure if you read these reviews, but you have a gem in your hands with Addison. I will 100% be using Addison’s services in the future. Great guy, great family, and a great disposition around dogs.”

About: I have recently moved from Nashville to Bellingham area. I have fostered over 60 dogs with Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue. I have dealt with multiple breeds as well as puppies and especially seniors with medical issues. I currently have a foster pug so I can house sit if I can bring her along or drop in. Your pups can also stay at my house. I work remotely so I can house sit, pet sit at anytime as long as I'm not going to be out of town or already booked. I will follow closely the directions given by the client. I have had dogs and I have competed internationally in horse competitions. I understand how people are particular about their pets.

“We decided to make a last minute trip out of town and couldn’t get a pet friendly hotel, nor were our regular sitters available, so took a shot in the dark with Li. I’ve had some hit and miss experiences on here, but this one was a hit for sure. Li and her family took care of Dexter, sent frequent pictures and updates, and their pup helped keep him company. Wouldn’t hesitate letting him stay with them again.”

“AJ is awesome. They're really good at communicating with both humans and dogs (a rare feat!) and clearly truly cares. I'm your typical anxious millennial dog mom (no kids, just my strange and sweet 8 yr old yam pudding [vizsla]) and I actually felt really comfortable leaving her, even though it was her first time staying with AJ. AJ wasn't deterred by my dog's quirks at all and really listened to my (probably extraneous) notes. 100/10 would recommend! (Except please don't take up all their time so I can book with them again 😅).”

Debra always takes such great care of our best pal when he stays with her. He is always excited when we arrive to her house and loves playing with River. It's such great peace of mind to know that he's well cared for when we have to be away from him.

Laura asked all the right questions which insured me that she was conscientious about my dog’s care. She sent informative updates that were reflective of pepper’s daily schedule. Laura responded to my questions, a timely manner answering all of them as I navigated using Rover for the first time. When I picked up my dog, she thought twice about leaving and was ready to adopt Laura’s home as her own!

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 Bay 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 Agate Bay.

<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 Agate Bay 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 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.
