“This was the second time using Mykenzie, and my dogs again had the best time! They are well taken care of, and I enjoy seeing their daily updates while I’m gone. My dogs always have a great time, and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Mariah B. was a wonderful sitter for our goldendoodle. He has been missing her and her children this week since we have been home. I will certainly request Mariah B. if the need arises again. Thank you Mariah.”
About: Hello, Not sure how to genuinely list my experience as it spans a lifetime of owning and caring for dogs and cats. If I were to assign a number without aging myself... it would be about a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. :) Professionally, I worked for Kadlec Regional Medical Center for 12 years in nutrition services. In 2022, I left my role to be at home with our youngest child, and now that child is about to start school. Now I'm reentering into the workforce aligning with a passion and skill of mine. In addition to specifically supporting our household these past three years, I have also provided part time pet sitting, dog walking, bathing, and light grooming for friends and family. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether you're booking a stop by visit, a walk, or short stay, my goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. Reliability and communication are especially important to me. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to be dependable, follow routines closely, respond, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind. I genuinely care about the well-being of both pets and their owners, and I look forward to building trusted relationships with the families I serve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I keep my schedule flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I make it a priority to be dependable and on time. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and providing a calm, caring environment where pets can feel relaxed while their owners are away.
“Matthew did a detailed job while boarding my dog Choco, including daily walks, morning fetch, a daily checkin video, and cuddles for my dog. I felt Choco was safe and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Wonderful experience! Their family took great care of our doggies, kept us updated with photos, and made sure our pups were happy and loved. Highly recommended and will definitely be rebooking with Holly in the future!”
“Paulina was great! She communicated quickly and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We received lots of Havi updates with photos and videos. Additional information we shared was received positively. When it was time to pick Havi up Paulina had everything ready to go and helped load the car. Havi came home happy and in good spirits. Great service!”
“Great communication and my dog was happier than he’s ever been, picking him up from a sitter who’s not a friend. He was energized and went back to give her some loves before we left. The farm is such a peaceful oasis for your furry family members.”
About: I’ve helped take care of family and friends pets all the time since I was younger. Love animals and would be excited to help others with their fur friends and family! I work full time from 7:30-4:30 but can take an hour lunch anywhere between 11-1. I can use my lunch or any time after work or before work to take care of animals. I respect all house rules and take time to play and keep company with any fur babies. I have two kittens to keep any fur animals company. They’re so friendly and chatty!
About: I’ve raised newborn puppies, potty trained them, and cared for dogs, cats, horses, and bunnies—feeding, walking, bathing, and providing gentle basic training with patience, love, and consistency. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care! I’m available Monday–Friday from 10am–3:30pm, with weekend availability often open too—just message me to check! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and happy. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that means daily walks, playtime, clean food and water, or cozy downtime. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and treat your home and pets like they’re my 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 Apricot 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 Apricot.
<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 Apricot 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.
