“Rene was very accommodating and attentive to Carley’‘s needs during her overnight stay. She took the time to get to know us and put us at ease by taking in everything we said about Carley’s personality, habits, and particular requirements. Rene took special care with Carley’s diet, medications and exercise. She truly dedicated her time, space and home to the comfort and welfare of our big mixed-breed dog. We will definitely use her services again.”

My Maggie (dog) and Gabriella bonded instantly; from the moment I saw Maggie greeted her moving her tail and standing on her two legs; I knew i had chosen the right person to look after my dog.

I will ho back to her next time I go away.😃”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery. She took wonderful care of our Great Dane, Hazel, while we were away. She is reliable, communicative, and caring and went above and beyond to make sure Hazel was happy and comfortable. She even sent us regular updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our beloved Peaches received from kevin and Shiela! From the moment we met, their warmth and genuine love for dogs put us at ease. Peaches can be a bit shy, but they quickly won her over.Throughout Peaches’ stay, we received regular updates with photos and videos, which showed her having the time of her life—cuddling on the couch, or enjoying her favorite treats. It was clear that kevin and Shiela went above and beyond to make sure Peaches felt loved and comfortable. They followed all our instructions perfectly, from her feeding schedule to her daily walk, and even gave her some extra belly rubs, which she adores!The house was spotless when we picked Peaches up, and she was one happy, well-cared-for pup. They truly are reliable, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. We’re already looking forward to booking them again for our next trip. Thank you for treating Peaches like family!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellingham
First time using Rover so I was skeptical and a little worried about leaving him with a complete stranger. But after meeting Sierra and her cute pup and seeing how good she is with her dog and mine, I was comfortable leaving him with her. He seemed to adapt well and when I picked him up he was and still is a very happy customer! Thanks Sierra for all of your patience and kind words and treating my dog as well as you treat your own...
Jessica was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in last minute to watch our dog, Frito, when our usual sitter fell through, and we couldn't be happier. She was so kind, incredibly easy to work with, and even took Frito on a long hike. He came home happy and wonderfully tired. We highly recommend her! 10/5 stars if it was possible to rate so high ✨
Maelyn was absolutely wonderful. Our corgi Cosmo had so much fun with her, I am not even sure he missed us. I felt very comfortable leaving him and he was treated with so much personal care and attention. Maelyn was also very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and how to gently correct and redirect him, which I really appreciate. He came home a very happy, content, and tired dog.
Annie and her son were amazing! Accepted a very last minute boarding with my dog, Lucy. Annie babysat Lucy a few years ago and my experience was just as amazing. Very thankful and a total lifesaver on a last minute weekend get away. If I’m in the area again and need a sitter, I will definitely see if Annie is available. Thanks so much!
AJ is awesome. They're really good at communicating with both humans and dogs (a rare feat!) and clearly truly cares. I'm your typical anxious millennial dog mom (no kids, just my strange and sweet 8 yr old yam pudding [vizsla]) and I actually felt really comfortable leaving her, even though it was her first time staying with AJ. AJ wasn't deterred by my dog's quirks at all and really listened to my (probably extraneous) notes. 100/10 would recommend! (Except please don't take up all their time so I can book with them again 😅).
Trust Carol to do a great job handling dogs with special needs! Our dog has a very strict diet, and Carol was very on top of making sure she only ate her specified food in specified amounts, and didn’t get into any other food. This gave us great peace of mind on our trip!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
