“Elena treated my dogs like her own. My dogs interacted with hers fir more socialization. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands, even though my 1 yo pup can be extra!”
“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
“Mikayla did a great job with our two GSPs! The meet and greet helped to ease my concerns about how they would do in her care at her home. She had a great survey to take into consideration additional information important in understanding the individual personalities and needs of the dogs. Our dogs were happy and healthy coming home from her care!”
“We were a bit nervous in leaving our newly adopted dog for the weekend. Sarah was absolutely wonderful and it helped knowing he was being cared for so well and getting all the love. She sent frequent updates and photos. So thankful for her care!”
“Samantha took care of Trapper like he was one of her own! Trapper was very well cared for, given lots of attention and love, and was very happy to stay with her. She kept us informed, sent pictures and videos of him, and was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Danelle was wonderful! This was my second time having my pup stay with her and she was fantastic. Danelle goes above and beyond to communicate with the owners and definitely made my dog feel at home and comfortable. I highly recommend her and will definitely go to her first for future dog sitting needs.”
“Jessica was very responsible, responsive and kind! She took care of our dog last minute. She responded quickly, and remained in communication the whole time. Our dog’s harness broke and she went out to buy her a new one! We really appreciated her help in taking care of our dog for us!”
“Neila was amazing! Luke had an great time and was very happy in the picture updates and when I picked him up. Neila was very accommodating. Would recommend to anyone :)”
“Adrienne and Melinda were absolutely amazing! I knew they played a lot with my pup when he came totally worn out. He almost didn't want to leave. I plan to use Adrienne and Melinda again in a couple of weeks when I'm next out of town.”
“Bucky seemed well taken care of, communication was wonderful. I could tell she cared for Bucky and that was lovely. He was stressed and didn't want to eat during his stay, but she ensured he was cared for and took the time to help him settle in and eat. There were two very energetic dogs, not one as listed, and that was overwhelming for me and Bucky upon arrival. I was grateful he seemed to acclimate quickly.”
“Jamie did an amazing job boarding our pup over the holidays! She sent us updates daily on how he’s doing and it seemed like he was having a lot of fun. Highly recommend her!”
About: Almost a year ago I lost my first Goldendoodle baby, Riley. He was my best friend, I know how important animals are to their people and will treat your baby like my best friend! I recently got a new Goldendoodle puppy who is very chill, great with kids, and other dogs and loves to play. I am a substitute teacher so I can pick and choose my schedule but do often work during the school day. We have a fenced back yard and a dog door! I have experience with senior dogs and giving medicine, I also have experience with puppies. I have 3 young kids, ages 5-9, who are amazing with animals and love to help me take care of them! I’d love to take care of your fur baby! I am a substitute teacher during the year and can pick and choose the days I work. I often am working during the school day but we have a dog door and a fenced yard. I love the outdoors and going on walks. My kids will usually be with with and they love animals as well. I will come to your home and show your animal all the love while you are away. I will take them for walks and give them lots of pets and snuggles and send you updates. If your animal is at my house we will treat them as one of our own. Take them on walks, give them lots of pets and snuggles and will send picture updates.
“Sophia was amazing! She asked a lot of questions and took plenty of notes to make sure my dogs could maintain as much of their home life as possible. She sent photos and feedback daily. She made my girls feel right at home in her home. She gave them all the cuddles and snuggles. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. 📅 Schedule I’m available for pet care on weekends and can be flexible with timing throughout the day. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own who love having furry friends around. I’m happy to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.
“Justin & Amanda were wonderful with Dugan & I could tell he had a super fun time at their house! They are also very easy to work with, being quick to respond & sending updates & photos while we were away!”
“Sierra and Sheldon were ideal dog sitters while I was away for a week on a trip. They asked all the right questions in preparation for caring for Luna, sent great updates during her stay, and were able to accommodate her staying an extra night when I had airline difficulties getting back. I will definitely try to use them again.”
“This is Goma's second time with Mariya. Had zero concerns as she was outstanding and even went above and beyond for us when our flight got delayed and canceled several times a couple years ago. She sent us photos and videos of how Goma was doing and we could tell Goma was really enjoying himself with Mariya's routine. Some people may get defensive, but we appreciated Mariya letting us know Goma was a little overweight and how it could affect his joints in the future. It's nice to know she cares for our dogs as if they were her own. We always seek out Mariya when we go out of town, and we plan to continue to do so. Thank you Mariya, and Happy New Year to you.”
“Sent a lot of great pictures. Communicated back to me quickly. Was very active with my dog and took her swimming, on hikes, to the park, etc. 10/10. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”

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 Balder 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 Balder.
<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 Balder 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.
