“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Rachel did an awesome job with my boys, Parker and Ranger. She had them for a week. She sent me updates and pictures everyday. Went above and beyond when they went on a food strike. We will definitely be returning customers! Thank you Rachel”
“Kimberly was great! She was very communicative, making arranging pick up and drop off a breeze. She shared pictures and also reached out to see if Daisy could have watermelon. She loves it! I would be more than happy for Kimberly to watch Daisy again.”
“Amber was awesome and super flexible when my flight got cancelled TWICE and she had to keep my pup an extra day. She sent plenty of pics and updates. Bailey loved her time there and we will be using Amber again in the future! ??”
“Jennifer was so kind and patient with our young pup ! Very communicative, sending daily pics, and flexible with drop off and pick up. Awesome first experience !”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so sweet and accommodating and a great communicator. She also sends sweet photos and check in’s which is so nice. Book her for you doggy care needs!”
“Alexis always does an amazing job with our Walter. She’s so good with animals. We especially appreciate the pictures and frequent contact she provides while dog sitting. This is our third time with Alexis and she is top notch, trustworthy, professional and kind. We will continue using her service as it gives us peace of mind knowing Walter is in good hands.”
“I can tell Loki absolutely enjoyed his time over there and I don’t think I could’ve picked anyone better to watch him. She really did treat him like her own dog and she kept me updated on all his silliness. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashley and her family provided excellent care for our golden retriever Conner. Received photos daily of him playing and looking so happy!! We felt reassured that he was very comfortable and enjoying his new environment while we were on vacation.”
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.
“We could not have found a better person to trust our pup with! Teri has thought of everything to ensure a safe, comfortable and fun stay for the dogs she cares for. This was the first time boarding our rescue dog, and she can’t wait to go back! Lots of pictures and updates to put your mind at ease.”
“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”
“We are so happy to have found Linda! This was our first time leaving Bella with someone outside of our family and Linda instantly put our minds at ease. From her thoughtful questions at our meet & greet to the daily updates we received while we were away, I knew Bella was being cared for by someone who is not only knowledgeable but also has a big heart for animals just as we do! We came back to a very happy and relaxed pup and will definitely be contacting Linda for our next trip 😊”
“Leslie provided an excellent boarding experience for our Frenchie, Kahi. My husband and I are always nervous to leave Kahi, but this time we felt more at ease knowing she was in great hands with Leslie. Leslie welcomed Kahi into her home and was knowledgable of what Kahi needed to feel safe and comfortable. She was diligent to provide daily updates and pictures. The pictures showed that Kahi was well-adjusted to Leslie’s home and having a great time playing and bonding with Leslie’s pups. We trusted Kahi was safe with Leslie which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have always loved and had dogs in fact I have 2 now. Over the years I have dog sat for numerous friends and co-workers, either at my home or theirs. I can handle big or small dogs. Play time for dogs is just as important as exercise, and I love playing with them, whether that means throwing a ball, tug with a rope or squeaky toys. I'm the one at the party making friends with the dogs instead of people. I know you'll find my services helpful and I cant wait to meet your pup! I work from home full time M-F 6-3 so I can visit your home on my lunch break for a quick potty break or come by before or after my work day starts. If I'm boarding your dog, you can be confident they wont be left alone for long hours since I'm home all day. I can walk your dogs, give them potty breaks, play with them. I can feed cats, play and pet them and I can clean litter boxes if needed. If staying with me, we'll be sure they'll get a long with my pets. But if they meed thier own space, I have an rv hooked up and ready to use on site that can be used for alternate boarding space.
“Deidre is the best! She took care of our two very energetic dogs for four days and it went great! Deidre is an excellent communicator and a wonderful dog whisperer. We’ll definitely be asking for her to care for the dogs again.”

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 Big Lake home-away-from-home, 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 Big Lake.
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.
You and your Big Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
