“Chris is an excellent host & a great guy. Just by talking to him, you'll come to learn the kind of observation he makes about dogs & level of care he provides. He shared good feedback about our dog and gave me a couple of tips/ideas through our conversations and I intend to make those happen. He also sent photos every day with small and funny messages to go with; which made the kids happy while our family was away on a trip. If you're reading these reviews and considering Chris, we highly recommend him! Thanks, Chris for taking care of Rubble!”

“Giovanna was amazing! This was a daycare visit to see if Addison would do well ahead of a long weekend stay and everything went great! So much so, I might have developed a complex when she didn't want to go home woth me after, lol. I got a bunch of pictures and videos, and in all of them Addison looked to be enjoying herself. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and taking such good care of her!”

“Sammy must have had a great time at their place, as he was super tired at the end of the day and slept through whole night without any more play time or treats. Note: Sammy is a high energy dog and doesn’t get tired easily. He does 4-5 mile walks everyday and still needs more play time. Another thing to note about Sammy: he has a tendency to mark at new places. We specifically gave bellybands with him. But somehow they managed to keep him off bellybands and off marking their place. Which is amazing! Sammy will definitely visit them again many times, and I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Xiaoshan & Xiuli for taking care of Sammy!”

“Peach stayed at Janin’s house for the second time this weekend. Once again, she had a vacation at Janin’s. There was the gorgeous yard to explore, the dogs to play with, and the loving family inside where she was welcome to be comfortable. I can’t recommend Janin enough for how wonderful her care has been for Peach!!”

“Vanessa is amazing with dogs, and we are more than happy to leave our little spoiled Havanese with her. She took great care of our dog, pampered and coddled him, and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is patient and kind, and has a clean home. We will definitely rebook! Thank you again, Vanessa, for taking care of our precious:)”

“Sharon and her family took exceptional care of our dog while we were out of state for a long weekend. We got regular photo updates of the walks they took, playtime, and snuggle time. She put our minds at ease by being responsible, knowledgeable, communicative, and — most of all — caring!”

“Ana was able to take in my dog on a short notice and I am very grateful for her care. Ana was highly available in responsive, which I didn't strictly ask for a require but it was a nice reassurance to have. Will gladly use Ana's service in the future!”

“Zankhana was a wonderful sitter and will use her again. She provided a lot of updates and pics while she had Kevin which is exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease.”


“Xiaomeng was awesome with my G. She had so much fun! I got videos of walks and “everyday” adventures. She loves being with the owners dog and playing in the yard. Xiaomeng and her husband welcomed G and she loved the TLC. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!”

“My dog Sauce had such a wonderful stay at Xiaotong’s home. Sauce was so welcomed by the entire family, and made great buddies with their dog Luna. Great communications too and we received many many fun videos and photos. The owner also left me a sweet letter that summarized Sauce’s stay. Highly recommended!”

“Heather has cared for Koda twice and she is amazing! I appreciate that she keeps me up to date with pictures and my guy always looks happy and relaxed. We love Heather!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

“I was nervous to leave my dog Rooney for such a long time but Joshua eased all my fears and took such wonderful care of Rooney. My dog had such a great time and Joshua was so timely with detailed updates on Rooney’s health and behavior. It helped keep my mind focused on my trip and not worry about Rooney too much. I would definitely board with Joshua again.”

“We had such a great experience with Lisa! This was our first time boarding Nelson and we were nervous going in, but within a few hours we could tell he was in the best hands. We couldn’t believe she got our usually pretty mellow dog out hiking and to farmers markets — stuff we never expected him to do! It was so clear he trusted her and had a blast, and he came home with the biggest smile. She kept us updated the whole time and communicated so well before and during the visit. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”

“I would recommend Xin to my family and friends. She kept me informed today 1, I was happy with the pictures and videos. I could tell my little Sebastian was enjoying his stay.”

“Our dog had a fantastic time with Debbie while we were away. She made sure our dog was well fed and had plenty of walks or exercise. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone with hypoallergenic dogs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
We’re so glad we found Janin. She clearly took time to bond with our dog while we were gone, and he got all the human attention he craves. We got photos of him playing, reports of his good behavior, and she was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We’ve already rebooked!

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.
<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 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.
