“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! ❤️”
“Cynthia and her dogs were so friendly and caring. My husband and I are going on a trip and this was a trial run to make sure our beagle pup Angel was comfortable and adjusts well with them. We know Angel is a handful especially being a curious sniffing pup and this was our first time having her stay with someone else overnight so my husband and I were worried on how she would do. Cynthia took pictures and videos of Angel throughout the stay and we felt relieved to know Angel enjoyed herself!”
“Juan was excellent! He sent pictures and videos throughout the week and even went out of his way to take Pepper to her own neighborhood trail. Our flight home arrived later than expected and he accommodated our late arrival graciously. We will be booking again with Juan!”
“Stephanie is great! My dog didn’t want to leave! We got daily pictures and she responded any time we needed something. Will be using her again and again. Thank you Stephanie”
“Kimberly was a wonderful dog sitter! Maya had a blast being spoiled by her family and having a doggie best friend with their dog Dixie. When I picked her up she was so happy and relaxed. Kimberly and her family are so kind, they helped me load my car and said the sweetest goodbyes to Maya. I knew she was well taken care of and treated like family. Thank you Kimberly, this was such a great experience. And also Kimberly sent lots of pictures and updates about Maya. And also was very quick to respond to text. Thank you:)! Highly recommend!”
“Karina was very nice and communicative….. she took really good care of my Oreo, he came home very happy. I Would highly recommend her to care for your dog.”
“Li is amazing with my two boys! She sends lots of pictures and I know my dogs are in such good hands. I have used her three times and she is fabulous. I highly recommend her!”
“Shizuko was wonderful with our senior yorkie-poodle, Titan! He has to take a lot of medication, and Shizuko was able to administer the medicine and follow his schedule. She was also able to watch him for an extra day when my flight got cancelled. Very consistent communication and we appreciated getting all of the photos and updates of Titan’s time there. Titan enjoyed being with her and was sad to leave when I picked him up. Would absolutely recommend Shizuko to anyone who is looking for a rover, and we will be using her services again in the future!”
“This was our second time booking with Hong and Yuchen and they were wonderful as the first time. Miso was comfortable from the start and seemed to enjoy her time there. Thank you for hosting Miso. We’ll be back”
“My dogs had a great time! One of our dogs has major stranger danger and Rachael was an expert at acclimating her to her home and handled her with ease. All dogs had a great time!”
“Our family has used Kelsey twice and I can already say she is a stellar pupsitter. While my dog is happy to see me when I get there to pick him up I can tell by the way he glances at her that he likes her. She is also great about sending update pics. It seems she treats our pup as part of her family. The land she lives on provides great space for my pup to run around on. Highly recommend Kelsey and her family for day sitting and extended trips.”
“Jo was an excellent care taker for our two dogs! She checked in regularly, provided pictures of our dogs daily, and asked questions if she had any concerns. She was easy to communicate with, calm and loving with the dogs and we will definitely schedule care with her again in the future!”
“Stefany did a great job taking care of my dog Mya. I could tell from the photos she sent that Mya felt right at home and was so comfortable, which made it easy for me to relax and enjoy my trip. I would absolutely use Stefany again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rochelle caring for our Sylvia, for a full week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Rochelle kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear Sylvia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given plenty of love and attention.”
“Teanna was a fantastic dog sitter for our Shiba Inu! She sent frequent photos and was incredibly responsive & flexible. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future trips! 🥰”
“Sheena provided a caring and attentive environment for my dog. She sent photos to me during the trip so I could see that my pooch was doing well. Sheena is clearly a dog lover and took the time to do a "meet and greet" at the dog park one day--so we could see if our two dogs would get along. She also allowed me to bring my dog over to our place before my trip so he could sniff around and get a feel for where he would be staying.”

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.
92% of sitters in Cathcart 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 Cathcart 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 Cathcart.
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 Cathcart. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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 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.
