“My pup had a great time on Krystal’s farm. The kids were very sweet with her and she loved playing with the other dogs. Perfect place for a high energy, outdoor dog. Mine came home exhausted and ready for a bath!”

About: I have a mastiff pupper that is 6 years old who is a big cuddly baby. He is a male named Apollo. I grew up with animals and I have a love for them. I will treat your fur babies as my own. They will get a lot of love and attention and exercise. My dog plays well with other dogs but Apollo can be a little iffy when it comes to big males since he is not fixed! So a meet and greet is a must! I also can keep them separated if need be! If your doggo or mine needs some relaxing time or time to themselves I can have them be separated! My dog loves playing with new friends who love to play or relax! I’m a stay at home mom. So I have a lot of time to give your pup lots of love and attention! My dog and sons would love to play with your pup! I have a fenced yard for your pup to play out in with my dog and to also use the bathroom! I have a huge crate too just incase your pup needs some time by themselves or mine does! I can also separate them in the house or outside if they want to be away from my dog!

“I’m new to the area and didn’t realize when booking just how far away they lived from us lol We will 100% be booking again though, even with the nearly hour drive It’s tough leaving your dog while you’re out of town but they made it so much easier, sending videos and photos of her having a great time. It was clear she was genuinely being cared for, not just somewhere with someone doing the minimum. Can’t recommend them enough”

“Liz was so kind and specialized working with senior dogs. Liz was a burst of refreshing energy and was very responsive. Our boy Chocko had an absolute blast. We did boarding and it was great. Chocko had so much fun we may do doggy daycare occasionally just so he can hang with other dogs! We highly recommend Liz!”

About: About Me I am energetic with a calming personality I love all animals. I have exceptional skills in relieving pet anxiety and bonding with animals. I am a compassionate pet sitter and seasoned dog walker. I grew up in Northern Indiana taking care of my family’s animals that included cats, dogs, pigs, baby goats, and rabbits for 15 years. I have also overnight pet sat caring for dogs and cats of all sizes for over five years. This included: feeding, walking, bathing, giving treats, cuddling, and loving. I always send you pictures and daily updates on how your pets are doing. I work hours typically from 7:15am- 4/430pm Monday - Thursday. I will not be able to let pets out during this time. I can provide potty breaks more frequently on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I would love to sit your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. Most availability for dog walking/drop by visits will be early in the AM or in the evening after 230pm on weekdays. I always provide the best care to the animals I am sitting for. From dog walks, to cuddles, to pets, playing games, and to grooming, I always make sure the needs are catered to each individual animal. I will make sure to follow instructions based on your pets normal routine.

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 Alpha 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 Alpha.

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 Alpha 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.
