“Lisa was amazing. It was my first time leaving Henry (16-month-old mini bernedoodle) with someone I didn't know well. She took him on multiple daily adventures outside, sent tons of photos, communication was excellent, and he was a very happy and tired pup when I got back. I highly recommend Lisa and will be using her again in the future!”
“Fiona was amazing with our dog, Milo. She was easy to communicate with, and flexible regarding pick up and drop off. She kept us updated about how Milo was doing while we were away. Highly recommend her.”
“Patricia made Doug’s overnight stay so easy. Her pups were so welcoming to him and made him feel at home. She sent pictures and updates which made me feel so much more at ease. Doug did not want to leave her house when I picked him up haha! Thank you, Patricia for taking in Doug and I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Vanessa did a terrific job caring for Zorro. I really appreciated that she wanted to drill down on the specifics of Zorro’s needs prior to my dropping Zorro off. She sent photos and videos every day and was extremely accommodating and communicative about drop off/pick up times. Zorro sometimes is afraid to go down wood stairs (she slipped on our stairs awhile back so we immediately put on carpet attachments for our stairs, but she’s still timid) and Vanessa asked how I sometimes carry her and she scooped Zorro right up and safely brought her down her 4 wood stairs to access the very large fenced backyard. Vanessa and her family gave Zorro a lot of love and attention and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Zorro with her in the future.”
“Emily and her family were absolutely lovely! Simon got lots of love, cuddles, and walks and enjoyed playing with their dog, Winston. Emily sent frequent updates and photos, so I knew my baby was thriving while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their fur-babies.”
“Sharon took excellent care of Ollie. She learnt about his care needs very quickly and successfully administered his meds just as I had requested. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Her notes about Ollie's activities were so endearing. She and her family are so friendly and welcoming. It felt like Ollie was in the care of a family member. Thanks again Sharon! Please count us in for re-books:)”
“Debbi and family were amazing! Trooper was well cared for, entertained, exercised, and for the most part…welcomed into their family. It is always hard to leave Trooper for a few days, but I knew he was having a good time while we were away.”
“Xiaotong is an amazing host! My dog really had a vacation, Xiaotong spoiled her with healthy treats, lots of play time, walks and kept us so informed by sending updates, videos and photos. She is very caring, dependable and I feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Xiaotong for being a great host!”
“Rochelle touched face everyday and get pictures. She took great care of Winnie and was prompt responding before during and after. I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Donnelly and Ryan have been great for our two dogs!!! They are so happy and tired from all the fun they had during their stay!!! Sometimes you notice little changes in your dogs behavior after having them stay somewhere, but not with our two stays, just happy normal puppies!!!”
“Zhaoli took amazing care of Jasper! Took him for walks multiple times a day and kept sending his pictures. She was accommodating enough to even extend the stay by one more night and went above and beyond to make it convenient. I would totally recommend her!”
“Vanessa was amazing taking care of my dog, Moxie over the holidays! Taking her on activities, sending tons of pictures every day, and just generally including her in the family activities! We'll definitely use Vanessa again!”
“Helen is very flexible and easy to work with. We had to extend our service due to flight cancellation and pick up a few hours later than scheduled. Thanks Helen for your support and great service!”
“Our Boston terrier puppy “Skye” stayed with Olga and had a wonderful time. Olga took her on walks and snuggled with her! We are looking forward to Skye’s next stay with Olga!”
“Kyle and his whole family gave Millie and Mabel such a warm welcome! They have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and Kyle sent us lots of updates and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Kyle & Marissa again!”
“My girl and I are SO lucky to have Liz! Knowing I can travel and my pup is safe, sound, and having the time of her life while I’m gone (everything from long jaunts on trail to lots of cozy cuddles) — it’s such a relief. Can’t thank Liz enough! ?”
“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Finn has stayed with Cathy multiple times while we were on vacation, and always has a wonderful time while he is there! We can tell that he is well cared for and having a lot of fun. Cathy regularly sends pictures and updates throughout his stay. We appreciate all of her care and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Maritza is very kind and caring. She constantly communicated with photos and updates. Since it was our first time boarding with her, she also asked about what things are okay and what aren’t which we really appreciated. Our dog came back tired and likely is missing all the fun he had with Maritza and their family. We wouldn’t hesitate even a bit to board Badri with her next time.
Donnelly and Ryan have been great for our two dogs!!! They are so happy and tired from all the fun they had during their stay!!! Sometimes you notice little changes in your dogs behavior after having them stay somewhere, but not with our two stays, just happy normal puppies!!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Ana Clara caring for Ducky! She took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Ducky was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. We really appreciated the updates and photos and it was so nice to see that he was doing well and getting plenty of love and attention. We would absolutely recommend her and would definitely have her care for Ducky again!
Trinity is amazing! I had to board my dogs last minute and she was super accommodating. She’s very skilled at managing different dog personalities and medical needs. Plus my flight back home had every delay imaginable and she worked with me to coordinate a late night pick up. She went above and beyond. I will be rebooking Trinity for all my pet care needs is going forward.
Jordyn took excellent care of our Bruno! This was our first experience with Rover and it all went smoothly. Jordyn happily met Bruno before we boarded to ensure he was a good fit with her and her dogs. She also sent great photos and updates while we were away which was so reassuring. He came home happy and exhausted from playing hard. Thanks Jordyn!
Anna was amazing with our dog! We had a last minute cancellation and she was responsive and flexible to meet our last minute needs. Our pup was clearly happy while we were away and had lots of opportunities to play and get outdoors. Anna sends photos and videos throughout the day so we can check in to see how he was doing. So grateful for her taking such good care of our pup!
Lavanya has been an amazing care taker for our dog whom we left for the first time with her. She has genuine love towards the dogs she onboards in her care and provides an environment where the dog doesn’t miss being in a different place. Without a second thought I would rebook Lavanya for any future service. Arlo was missing his buddy Simba Lavanyas own dog and formed a strong bond both with the dog and her family. She provides the best to leave ur pets with being at ease during our trips. She makes sure you are updated everyday with photos and videos.
Junie had the best time with Cathryn and we were happy that she was having a fun staycation while we were on vacation! Room to roam and gain independence, endless places to explore and a calm person who accepts all the wackiness that Aussies bring! Thanks for a great stay- we are so appreciative!

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 Ames Lake 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 Ames Lake.
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 Ames Lake 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.
