“Janessa and her whole family provided a loving, fun environment for Remington. Remington is a paralyzed Siberian Husky who requires extra care. The regular updates, photos and communication put our minds at ease and we cannot recommend Janessa highly enough.”
“Leslie was truly amazing! Her communication was thorough before the weekend, and kept us updated through the weekend with videos and photos. She will be our first connection the next time we need a sitter. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our Ellie, Leslie. You are wonderful!”
“Amy and her family were very welcoming with our corgi. She has a great safe and secure yard for dogs to run around in and I know our pup was in heaven. Amy sent many photos of my dog with updates. When my dog did act up, Amy had prompt communication with me as we figured out next steps. She did a great job with him in a hard situation. I'd recommend anyone to Amy - she loves dogs and has a great set up to host furry friends! Thank you!”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“Eryn was amazing and my pup enjoyed his weekend so much! Got to see lots of fun pics and videos while I was away which was very reassuring. My pup can be a little nervous but Eryn knew how to interact with him and he seemed happy, relaxed, and worn out from running when I picked him up. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Excellent care. Very young, larger dog so lots of work involved. Lisa worked at keeping him happy, exercised, and added some training as possible. Lisa is an incredibly caring person who wants your pets to be as comfortable with her as they are with you. Lisa sent plenty of updates, pictures and reviews of daily activities and any issues. My dog is a younger, large dog who had only been out of a kill shelter for 3 weeks. He needed a little more attention which was more work and required special attention. Lisa gave him that attention. He is a loving dog and good with everyone but not as easy as a dog that has been in a family for a longer time. I would very highly recommend Lisa to people who value their pets as family.”
“We have used Wendy and her family several times when going out of town, and our dog and we have been happy. Most recently I was out of town and due to aircraft problems I had to stay out of town longer than I had expected. They were very flexible in changing the booking and since I had only left just enough food for the scheduled stay they went to the pet store and picked up another bag of food for her! They went above and beyond! I highly recommend Wendy and her family.”
“Anji was a great sitter for our dog over the weekend. It’s clear she geniunely loves the animals she cares for. She was communicative, responsible, and has such a great space for dogs to play and relax. Thanks and Harvey can’t wait to visit again!”
“It's comforting to know Guava is well taken care of and we never have to worry about her when she's with Michelle. Always great communication, updates and pictures. Guava is comfortable and loves being there. Thanks again Michelle, Keith, and Lola!”
“Quang watched our pup for 4x nights and took great care of him. He spent many photos and videos each day and was responsive to all our questions. I would definitely have Quang watch our pup again!”
“Jessica is great and very communicative about how everything is going! Even with a huge storm and power out, she still was letting me know everything was going well with Harper! I appreciate her taking care of Harper!!”
“Ingrid was great with Zoey! We really appreciate all the updates and videos. She was easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating. Will definitely use her again!”
“Dana Marie was fantastic with our kitty. It was his first time away from home and she was so patient and loving with him, drew him out of his shell to relax and play. He had a very comfy, spacious room to himself, tons of toys, a cushy bed and a climbing tree next to a big window with a great view of the neighborhood activities. Dana Marie was very flexible with our drop-off and pick-up time, gave me updates each day and carefully followed all directions for feeding and medications. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for our little guy.”
“We have boarded our dog Ella with Lourdez and her family on multiple occasions. Lourdez always takes great care of our dog, ensures she gets outside for walks or hikes, and treats her as part of the family. She sends frequent updates and communications are easy. We are very happy to have Lourdez as our sitter!”
“McKenna was a wonderful sitter for my dog. She was flexible about drop off and pick up times, communicated right away, and offered my dog a fireworks-free stay on Mercer Island during 4th of July. I recommend her and would use her services again.”
“Jaime is amazing! Every time I drop off my dog with her, I have complete peace of mind knowing my pup is in excellent hands. I truly appreciate how attentive she is to all of my dog’s needs. The daily updates and adorable photos always brighten my day. Her home is clean, tidy, and well-organized—just like Jaime herself. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”
“Quinten is a dog lover and took very good care of Mickey. We received regular video updates, it almost seemed that our dog had a better vacation than we did! If you are looking for a good sitter, Quinten is you guy!”
“Diana and her kids are wonderful! They last minute helped us out and cared for our silly pup Olive. The boys kept Olive busy and Diana is an excellent communicator. I only wish they lived closer to us. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Theresa was wonderful for our first Rover experience! We felt completely at ease leaving our pup with her over the weekend. She sent us pictures and updates the whole time, which was great! We are definitely hoping our dog can stay with Theresa again in the future!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% of sitters in Barneston can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Barneston 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 Barneston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barneston. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Barneston 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
