“Jeremy was amazing, we had a perfect storm (peek got really sick from a operation, and we had a planned trip outside the country) he was just amazing with him, he had to provide nurse cares, to peek medicine, keep him isolated etc... and he was just amazing!!!!! we cant not express how thankful we are for him, and taking care of our baby !!!! GRACIASSSSSSSSSS”
“Bailey and Kyle were fantastic! Mike stayed with them for 3 nights and had such a wonderful time. It was clear from the updates and from how happy he was when we picked him up that he felt completely comfortable. They created a really safe, fun, and caring environment, and I felt totally at ease leaving him with them. Mike came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from all the playtime. We 100% recommend Bailey and Kyle and will definitely book with them again! 🐾”

“Kaylee has boarded Xena multiple times and it’s always great! Many pictures and updates, and Xena loves her and her kids. We’re happy knowing Xena is with Kaylee while we’re away!”
“Bobbi took great care of my dogs! She sent daily updates and made the entire boarding experience very easy from start to finish. It was great having peace of mind knowing my dogs were well cared for while I was away for a week. Highly recommend Bobbi!”
“Great sitter for our playful goldendoodle. Jordin is very communicative and sends plenty of updates. She’s super friendly and is flexible with scheduling. We’re definitely going to rebook with her during our short stay here in Tacoma. 👍🏽”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Annmarie was amazing with our boy!!!! He is a shy timid dog and she was so kind and patient with him!!! I got pictures and an update every single day. She truly treated him like he was hers, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a pup sitter.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Jennifer took great care of my Ava birdie! She was communicative, sent pictures, and asked questions to ensure proper care. I am relieved to find someone who enjoys my birdie and takes good care of her! Highly recommend!”
“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”
“Jerrie sent photos and updates everyday. She was so kind and thoughtful in her communications all throughout the pre-booking and three week long boarding experience. We've never left our dog so long and were comforted to know he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired out.”
“We had a great experience with Luisa watching our poodle just shy of a week. She was fast to respond to my inquiry about watching our dog and scheduling a meet and greet. We received pictures everyday and even a video of our dog while she stayed with Luisa. Talking with Luisa at the meet and greet I could tell she genuinely loves taking care of the animals that come to stay her and her family. It really put our minds at ease while we were away. I will definitely reach out to Luisa for our future travel plans.”
“Kristin and her family as always are amazing! She does a phenomenal giving our dog Weatherly a home away from home. The whole family chips in to provide the love, care, and attention to our dog. We've already rebooked her for our next vacation.”
“Diahann is great! This was our two dogs first time with a sitter and they did really good. Diahann was very communicative, sending updates with photos every day. I think anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Thanks you Diahann!”
“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”

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 Ballow 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 Ballow.
<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 Ballow 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.
