“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Jerrie is an amazing dogsitter, and I am so happy I was able to connect with her. She truly cares about your animals, and wants them to enjoy their stay. We received picture, and text updates about how our pet was doing. I think she does a great job acclimating pets to new spaces, and giving them the attention they need to thrive. I genuinely feel like Jerry provides the perfect home away from home. My little dog loved exploring the fully fenced property. When I picked up my little dog I could tell she really liked Jerrie. Thank you so much!”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
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.
“Angelia did an amazing job caring for my senior dog. I am so grateful for all the love and care Angela's family gave Winter. Winter looked for her new friends after we got home. She has a good time.”
“Deidre took such good care of my dog while I was on a long trip. She sent pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I'm so grateful for her kindness and care. She is highly recommended.”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
“This was Lucy’s first stay with Keep! Keep and her daughter sent me regular pictures. Lucy seem to really enjoy her time with Keep and her family. I would definitely use her again.”
“This was our second time boarding our 7 month old Goldendoodle (Murphy) with Kat. Kat’s place is awesome! Murphy had his own kennel with a private dog run and also access to acreage to run and play with the other dogs. Last weekend was very hot and Kat let the dogs swim in her pool to stay cool. Kat also provided a dog house, cot and food dishes. We received videos and pics daily and could enjoy our vacation knowing Murphy was in good hands! I hate to admit it, but Murphy probably has more fun there than at home lol. This is a doggy resort! We highly recommend Kat!!!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Leanne was great with our dog! We received lots of pictures and updates on how things were going. Our dog had slight separation anxiety but Leanne took him on a walk to help calm him. Leanne is a great host, super responsive, and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Cale. Cale thought ahead to ask how Scout would do with fireworks since it was the Fourth of July weekend. I am very appreciative of the loving care that Scout receives when she stays with him.”
“I had to leave my boy for an extended period of time and was a lot more at ease about it knowing he is in such good hands with Tiffany. I received regular updates and her communicate is very prompt. Duke always has a great time staying with her and the other dogs. She goes above and beyond to make your fur baby and the doggy parents feel comfortable.”

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 Balch 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 Balch.
<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 Balch 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.
