“Stella had a great stay at John’s! He had no problem with a last minute booking, and was super communicative with updates and pictures! Thanks John! Stella will be back”
“Jenny is excellent as always. We were gone for an extended trip to the Philippines, and she provided regular updates and cute pictures of Bouncer while we were away. I also asked if she would be able to give Bouncer a bath since we were gone for a while. Jenny kindly agreed. I gave Jenny additional compensation for this. I could tell that she went above and beyond for my dog. I'll be asking Jenny again for help with Bouncer in the future!”
“We loved Tracy! She is so knowledgeable and experienced and we felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. We will definitely send our dogs back to her, they had so much fun with the other dogs she had and at her incredible property.”
“Nicole was great! Not only was this a last minute reservation, she welcomed my 2 small dogs to her home and family. Nicole was terrific with her communication. She sent pictures and videos daily.”
“Christel took excellent care of our pup. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior, and worked hard to help my dog feel comfortable in her home and with her dog. Very communicative, and we got lots of pictures and updates. Excellent dog sitter.”
“Tunyi was awesome!!! Our pup loved her and her family. Sent us texts and videos the entire time while we were gone and we just knew Flo was being loved on❤️”
“My dog stayed with Tyler for eight days while I was on vacation. Tyler was very communicative and responded promptly to my messages. I received daily updates and pictures of my dog being walked and fed. My dog seemed content while staying with Tyler and returned home happy and well taken care of. I’d book with Tyler again in the future.”
“David is an awesome sitter. He was very proactive in sharing photos and videos of my pet, and he was also able to accommodate by my early drop and release requests. Candy had great fun in his company. I will be more than happy to use David's services in future.”
“Derek loves his home away from home! He had another amazing stay with Julie and her family. They go above and beyond caring for him and even took him swimming! Thank you so much for all the tender loving care! He will miss you guys! ❤️”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”
“We had to be out of town for many days, and we wanted to make sure that we have the right person for our dog, We are so glad that we found Michelle. The meet and great went verywell. The stay was easy and she communicated with me everyday with photos and text to make sure that I didn't have to worry about my dog. I felt like she treated her as if she was her family dog. I highly recommend Michelle if you need someone for you dog sitting in the future. She even bathed her before return home. We much much appreciated everything.”
“Riitta’s house is oriented towards taking care of dogs and attending to their individual needs. Our guy, who is very social, LOVED having multiple dogs around all day as playmates. He was busy, well exercised and happy the whole time. Riitta did a great job of keeping us informed throughout our boy’s stay. It looked like 4 whole days at the Dog Park!”
“Jill and Aaron were amazingly attentive and kind sitters for our senior Pomeranian with a special diet and medication. They answered any questions we had, and were happy to listen to any info that would help them to better understand our dog’s old-man quirks. They have a great place for dogs to hang and relax, we would highly recommend using their services!”
“Craig was a fantastic dog sitter for our lively 8 yr old Corgi. Communication was quick, he sent us plenty of photos and overall a 10/10 experience. Will definitely use Craig again.”
“Highly recommend! Amber and Barb were so careful to make sure Sydney was comfortable in their home. And, they took the extra time to make sure she followed all of the same routines and rules she has at home. Shared great picutes, too!”
“Diesel had a wonderful time with Karina and her lovely doggo. It was nice to know that he had a friend and family around him to keep him company. Karina sent regular photos and videos. Karina is great and we’ll definitely use her 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 Cathcart 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 Cathcart.
<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 Cathcart 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.
