“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Alex did a great job watching Georgie. She was very good with she, attentive, and reliable. Georgie was well cared for and everything went smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter.”
“It’s Toby’s first time with Wei and Long, I can tell from the numerous pictures and videos they sent me that he was super happy during his stay. The moment I saw the couple and their place, I can feel right away that they are an awesome pet lovers. Highly recommended.”
“Shari and Richard were an excellent choice for boarding our small dog! We appreciated their fast response time, thoroughness, flexibility, and regular updates. They took excellent care, going above and beyond! 5 stars, highly recommend!”
“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”
“Sophia C. took great care of our doodle pup, Earl. Really appreciate her care during some hot weather. Sophia sent pictures of some of the outings, which we loved. Good communication on drop off and pick up too”
“Jennifer does a phenomenal job caring for our GSD. She’s super nice and totally focused on caring for our dog the way he’s familiar with. We’ve used her services twice and will again as needed.”
“Cade was a fantastic Rover. He was on top of his communication, has a great property that our dog was able to enjoy, and was really flexible. We ran into a problem where our travel plans were delayed and Cade was happy to let our dog stay another night. I would highly recommend Cade to watch your dog and will be rebooking next time we need a rover.”
“Exceptional care for our fur baby! We left our dog, Charlie, with Oriana and her husban Jean for 10 days, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving a pet for the first time and for that long can be stressful, but we were completely at ease thanks to the frequent updates and obvious love Charlie received. He had an absolute blast and was treated like family. It was so comforting to see and gave us peace of mind that our Charlie looking so happy and relaxed while we were away. We will definitely be booking again—Charlie already misses his home away from home! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Sandra was a great host for our dog Ruya. She was extremely kind and easy to work with. My dog came back home very happy. I would absolutely recommend Sandra to other dog owners.”
About: Though I am new to dog walking and sitting, I've always been an animal lover. As a stay at home mom with older kids now, I have the time, patience and extra energy to give your dog the love, care and exercise they need. As a stay at home mom with older kids this would fit perfectly into my routine. It combines my love of animals and I get fresh air, stay active and provide loving care to your best friend. In your home I will care for your pets just as you do - fresh food, water, litter care and lots of love. For dogs, I will take them on safe walks, making sure they get their excercise, fresh air and plenty of attention.
“Daisy had a good stay with April and her husband. I would absolutely recommend them to look after your fur Babe. It was great receiving the pictures of Daze while I was away and it also reassured me she was in great care. Thank you again for giving her a home away from home while I was away.”
“Kallie did a great job! My pup, Bandit, was happy and tuckered out after getting to hang out with her and her adorable pup. Kallie was very flexible and communicative. Thanks Kallie!”
“Robin was lovely to deal with. She's very responsive and seems to genuinely care for dogs. Lola seemed comfy with her right away and seemed well taken care of for the two nights she stayed with Robin.”
“Lesley was a wonderful sitter! She was respectful of my dog’s needs, happily accommodated my personal preferences, was quick to reply, sent great updates, and provided my guy with a truly fun and fabulous overnight stay! He had a blast and we can’t wait for his next stay. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is the best person we’ve encountered for dog sitting so far. She is not only full of love for dogs, but also a true PROFESSIONAL with strong knowledge of veterinary medicine and dog behavior. She is attentive, responsible, and makes us feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands.”
“Connie was absolutely incredible with our dog, Buddy! From the moment we met her, we knew he was in loving and caring hands. Buddy adores both Connie and her husband, and it was so heartwarming to see how much love and affection they gave him during his stay. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, Buddy looked so happy and comfortable that sometimes it seemed like he would have happily stayed with them instead of coming home! Knowing that Buddy was being cared for with such kindness allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. Connie treated him like family, and that means everything to us. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Connie, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“My boyfriend and I are new puppy parents and we weren't exactly sure on how daycare works... when I saw that Ciara has a farm, we knew it would be a perfect familiar to our fur baby girl so we contacted Ciara. She was so easy going and knowledgeable, and to our surprise, her partner and my boyfriend knew each other from all the way back when! It was a very reassuring and coincidental experience and that also helped ease our worry with our big baby girl. They were always updating us and keeping her safe 🥹 will definitely go back again!!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuzu! I received videos and pictures everyday during my trip and I could tell Yuzu was happy and comfortable at Andrea and Sergio's place. Yuzu is a high energy dog and requires a lot of walking, she seemed to have enjoyed walking with Sergio everyday 😄 Highly recommended!!”

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.
96% of sitters in Birch Bay 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 Birch Bay 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 Birch Bay.
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 Birch Bay. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Birch Bay 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.
