“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”

“Angela and her family are the best! I am so grateful to have found her and I always feel good and safe when I leave my precious pup in her care. She’s worth every cent!”

“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”

“Sara and Cannon took great care of my dog for 2 nights while we were away. They were quick to respond and send updates. My dog doesn't like to eat sometimes when he stays at Rovers, and they were able to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. He also can be a little weird about some of others, especially larger ones. But they have a smart separation and introduction system, so my dog warmed up nicely and got along well with all the other dogs and enjoyed playing. My dog really enjoyed snooping around their fenced backyard too! I recommend Sara for sitting your dog!”
“Buddy loved his time at Avery's house! Avery was very communicative and sent videos/photos during his stay there. I really appreciate that she did a meet and greet beforehand and asked such thorough questions to make sure she knew as much about Buddy as she could before his stay. Buddy looks forward to his next visit with Avery and Theo!”
“Sarah was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and with every text that followed. For consideration, our 3 doggies are very friendly, do not resource guard, do not jump on people and are not chewers or destructive. We left them 36 hours during a family trip at Deception Pass. Sarah is a professional dog watcher; day care and overnight, with a fenced yard for the dogs to wander. We received multiple photos of our 3 doggies together and with other dogs who were in her care, indoors and out. Our pups had tails wagging when we arrived to pick them up. I would use Sarah again if I am in the area needing a safe, friendly place for our pups.”

“Mila was so sweet to my senior pup Charlie! This was my first time boarding him with anyone. We FaceTimed before hand which reassured me that Charlie was in good hands, she took notes regarding special routine things he needed and while on my trip Mila sent photo updates that put my mind at ease. Charlie was loved and well taken care of, going to Milas made him feel like a part of the family ! We’ve pre booked with her again and I know Charlie is looking forward to it !”

“Sheri and Bill were wonderful with Annie and Freddie. They sent me wonderful pictures and videos of their time together and spoiled my fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe and being treated like a member of their family. I highly recommend them for the care of your furry family member and will definitely be using them again.”

“Annie’s stay with Britt was perfect. I am so happy I have found someone to leave her with and know she is well cared for. Britt treated her like she was her own dog. Annie has separation anxiety. Britt was able to get her past that and she had fun with a couple of other dogs and a cat ? I have found the best place to leave “my little Annie” ???”

“Alexis always takes such good care of Mason. He always leaps out of the car and runs up the steps to see her. We know he’s happy and we’ll cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend Alexis!”
“Whiskey Goose has a great time when he stays with Ashley and her family. They are a wonderful family who loves dogs and takes good care of them. It’s nice to have found someone I could trust with my dog while I’m away. I also appreciate the daily updates, photos and their flexibility.”

“Teri took wonderful care of our Havanese, Jazmin! She gave us daily updates with pics and it was plain to see our pup was getting a lot of love and attention. She is an amazing sitter and we would highly recommend her if you are looking for high quality pet care with a very personal touch.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Vaishali and Vaibhav watching our dog, Charlie. They were professional, caring, and attentive. Charlie was clearly very comfortable and happy—he got his walks, meals, and lots of love, just like at home. We especially appreciated the regular photo and message updates that kept us reassured while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but Vaishali and Vaibhav made it stress-free for us and for Charlie. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we travel.”

About: I’ve been around dogs, my whole life, starting with dog sitting for neighbors as a kid to now raising and training my own energetic lab/German Shepherd mix. I know how important is to trust someone with your pup and I bring that same love, attention, and structure to every dog I care for whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or quality time while your away, your dog will be in caring, capable hands. I work a full-time 8 to 5 job in Mount Vernon but I’m available for evening walks or job and visits during the week. I also have lots of flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays, so weekend care and visits are no problem. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep the routine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”

“I am so happy we booked with Betdena. She gave our dog tank so much love and care even though he was hurt and and limping before we had to leave him she took extra good care of him, though I am a little jealous because he looked so happy at her house. I just hope he doesn’t mind coming home.:)”

“If there is a better person to take care of my pups on Rover I will not be finding them because Nicole will always be my first choice. Booked her for a doggy day care session, my dogs came home and went straight to bed exhausted from their day at Nicole's with her two dogs. Booked her again to board my dogs for five days. It was pretty clear my dogs were having the time of their lives from all of the great daily updates received from Nicole. Was super accommodating on pickup and dropoffs, fed the dogs the exact amounts of food I requested, my dogs were well exercised and received way more attention than they would have at home. I thought about it, could not come up with a single negative comment, highly recommended.”

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.

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, 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 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 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.
