“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.”
“Li was great at communicating with me and took my cats on short notice. She was flexible about an early drop off and late pickup the next day, as well as letting me pick them up early when my schedule changed. I appreciated her sending pictures and keeping me updated on how they were doing. I will definitely book Li again if needed in the area.”
“Wei & Long were wonderful hosts to our doggy. She had so much fun running around in their big backyard and they accommodated to her high energy levels. Will definitely rebook again and it’s so great that Wei and Long gave us regular updates.”
“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!”
“Heather is kind and knowledgable and welcomed our pup into her home happily. Communication was great and I enjoyed all the little updates and photos. Thank you Heather!”
“Jan was amazing with my dog! He was so relaxed and happy. It was easy to see how great of a time my dog had with Jan and Earl. Lots of love, lots of fetch. Absolutely awesome.”
“This was our first time booking over Rover so we were pretty apprehensive. Sara immediately made me feel better once I met her - her calm presence and her clear love for dogs. Allie had a great time with Sara playing with a couple of other dogs in the yard and with her sons. Sara kept in touch the entire time, sending pictures and videos and text messages letting us know how it was going. Great experience and would definitely book Sara again! Thanks Sara!!”
“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Randona was amazing with our dog. He had the best time with her and came back happy and satisfied. Lots of great updates and pics were supplied during our dog’s stay and you can tell that Randona really cares about the dogs she watches. 10/10 would rebook.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“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!”
“Sergio and Andrea have been awesome for our dog Rocko. He is a rescue and can be reactive and anxious; he doesn't always trust strangers easily. He's also on a fair bit of medication. He had such a wonderful time and he seemed calm and happy and it allowed our family to really enjoy our vacation. Sergio and Andrea communicated just the right amount, were responsive and solution-oriented and upbeat. Them having a dog or even two in residence made it super fun for Rocko so it felt like a vacation for him because he loves hanging out with other dogs. Thank you Sergio and Andrea for taking care of our precious bundle so well!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Nairoby took wonderful care of our dog, Leo, while we were away for a few days. She was flexible with timing, clearly loves dogs, and sent frequent updates that gave us peace of mind. Leo was a happy boy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Casey took such incredible care of our dog. We got detailed and thoughtful updates the whole time we were gone alone along with lots of photos. We will be using her every time we got out of town now. Thanks for treating him like your own ♥️”
“I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude for Sue and Pete, they welcome my little guy into their home as if he is their own. He is happy to say goodbye and comes home content! Thank you so much💕”
“I can’t recommend Angela enough! She took such amazing care of my dog and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. It was clear right away how kind, attentive, and experienced her and her family are, and I really appreciated the communication, updates, and photos while I was away. My dog seemed so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was really lovely knowing my dog was around Angela and her family — you can tell there’s a lot of care and positive energy in that environment. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely caring.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Birch Bay
This is a difficult review to write. Timothy was outwardly very kind and had a great set up to take care of the dogs. We had a meet & greet before the scheduled stay which went well. My dog had plenty of places to lounge and free play in the yard. He provided lots of videos and pictures which I loved, and kept me apprised of how she was eating, pooping, and getting along with the other pups. I feel I had to remove a star because when we came to pick up my dog, we heard him yelling at someone (or a dog?) to ‘Get the F upstairs right now!’ and was fairly drunk when he opened the door to greet us. My dog didn’t seem scared when he opened the door, so I don’t think he was yelling at my dog. However, I’d prefer my dog not to be in an angry environment in the future.

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 Birch Bay 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 Birch Bay.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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.
