“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”

“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”

“😍 10/10 would recommend Kathy as a dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our furry baby felt loved and cared for while we were away. Her home is gorgeous and welcoming, and Kathy treated our dog like one of her own. She's super communicative, sending us updates and pics that put our minds at ease. Organized and responsible, too - we'd trust her with our pup (and our keys) in a heartbeat. If you're looking for someone to give your pet the TLC they deserve, Kathy is your girl! 💕”

“Yuna was an absolute gem to have caring for Pixel! From the start she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly put his wellbeing first. She always checked with us before giving him any food or treats, which meant a lot given how careful we are with his diet. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. Pixel got plenty of exercise and came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell Yuna genuinely loves what she does. Reliable, communicative, and caring. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely book her again! A special shout out to Mocha who was an Excellent doggo, he and pixel became good friends :)”

What can I say. I had to leave town quick to go care for a family member. My husband and I love our pack, and Luisa took amazing care of all three of our dogs. Ollie, Maggie and Enzo had a blast! Most importantly they were happy, safe and loved. Also, I loved getting photos and videos!!! Thank you!

I am pleased to recommend Shanon for dog boarding. Our senior dog Lily was well taken care of during her short stay. She got along very well with Shanon’s family and her boxer. I look forward to using Shanon again for our next trip.

Shannon was amazing! What a great person & dog sitter. My older dog Stella is relaxed but has a few habits, and I’m always a little particular with who she stays with in general. From the moment we met, I know she’d be in safe hands & Shannon often sent updates/photos. I could tell she was cared for as if she was their dog! Thank you Shannon & your lovely family for providing Stella a safe, loving home 🧡🐶

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 Canterwood 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 Canterwood.

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 Canterwood 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.
