“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!”
“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
About: Hey there! I have been pet sitting for about 8 years. Everything from farm animals, to snakes, rats, cats and dogs, I've taken care of before. Animals are a big part of my life and I know how it is to worry about them while you're away. I'll give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your time off. Rover is my main gig so nearly all of time is available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and overnights. Like everyone else I do have other things going on and decline requests when I have the occasional conflict. A tmy gouse we treat pets with the respect close family deserves. When I visit your home, your pets will receive the same care and affection. Iunderstand the importance of a comfortable home, so wI always do my best to leave your home better than when I arrived.
“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!”
“Kevin's Dog Camp is amazing. Luna always has the best time. It was nice to get away with my husband and allow Luna sone quality time with Kevin and his camp pack. This is the second time we've used Kevin. He's so knowledgeable about doggos! We appreciate his last minute request approval, too.”
“We left Josie for the first time with Rebecca. She kept in touch with us and even sent us pictures during her stay. I would use her again for pet sitting. Thank you Rebecca!!”
“My dogs loved their stay! I can tell they played all weekend based on how tired they were after being picked up :) Kaylee is so kind and sent updates. I really appreciate her taking great care of my dogs! Would recommend to anyone”
“Rachel was so great with our dogs! I have two seniors that require medication and she handled it so well. I always appreciate knowing my two seniors are loved and taken care of while I’m traveling. I had zero worries about them while I was away, which is so reassuring. I got regular photos of them having a great time and getting love from her kiddos. They looked like they had a great time!”
“Potato loved being there and was even a bit down coming back. She bonded so well with Amanda’s daughter too. Amanda was great, kept me updated, and I didn’t have to worry one bit while she stayed there.”
“Erin is so wonderful! Our boys have such a great time there. We had a family emergency that caused a last minute booking with no solid end date and she accepted it with no questions. She send lots of updates & photos. Having our boys with Erin and her family made us feel secure knowing they were having such fun.”
“Keep is absolutely wonderful and so sweet! She sent us multiple photos everyday of our furbabies and in every photo they had a smile. We know that our pups had so much fun with her because less than an hour of being back home, they were both passed out on their dog bed. We couldn’t have picked a better person to love on our pups while we were away.”
“David’s place was like a home away from home for our two dogs. They have different needs and personalities and David was an excellent caretaker for both of them. I hope to be able to have them visit again!”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! We ran into unexpected travel delays on our move to Washington, and she went completely above and beyond to help us. She worked with us on rescheduling to make sure we still had a safe place to board our dog Benny, and our cat Duke, even staying up past midnight so we could drop them off when we finally arrived. Knowing our pets were in such caring and dependable hands took an incredible amount of stress off an already difficult trip. Benny and Duke were both well cared for, and it was clear Crystal genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile, Crystal is the pet sitter you want!”
“Pamela is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furbaby, Ollie. She is very warm and friendly and was great with him. During our time away Pamela sent us photos of Ollie having fun with other dogs which was really nice 🙂 I look forward to booking with her gain in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job!”
“Darby took wonderful care of my puppy when I had to go on a 3-day trip. He had a good time, and I feel good knowing I can book with someone caring and trustworthy when I need to travel in the future.”
“Rhonda is amazing with my timid girl! This is our second stay and our pup was so happy with Rhonda and her sweet dog Brodie. Communication was great with updates and pictures. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our girl received.”

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, 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 Alpha.
<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 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 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.
