“My dog LOVED her stay with Elizabeth and her family. It was a huge relief to know that she was well taken care of during my vacation. That knowledge allowed me to focus on my trip and enjoy myself. I’m definitely going to book with Elizabeth again.”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“This was my first time working with Zo and I appreciate how responsive and communicative he is! He has a calming presence which is super important for my dog Duke. Even though Duke had to wear a cone on his first day, Zo was very accommodating and asked for as much instructions and details as possible. I also appreciate that he has experience caring for dogs with IVDD which means I did not have to over-explain how to handle my dog (which is something I often have to go through, and while it’s not expected of every Rover sitter to have knowledge of this, it was nice to see Zo have familiarity with this condition!) I’d undoubtedly recommend Zorian to watch your dog. The area they are in also makes for great walks and views so your dog is bound to have a good time!”
“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“I highly recommend Stacey for outstanding care! Our dog has stayed with her multiple times and she takes wonderful care and is very thoughtful to send updates and photos! Our dog just loves staying at her house!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our reactive dog Chicken. She is extremely kind, communicative, and reliable. Chicken is an Aussie and they can be selective with new people and she did great with Elizabeth and her family. She sent regular updates and photos which was super helpful. I can tell Chicken feels really comfortable and well taken care of when she’s at Elizabeth’s.”
“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”
“Our dog, Edgar, couldn't have been in better hands. It was obvious that she truly enjoys dogs, and ours as well. She was so faithful in making sure he had the basics (food, a comfortable place to sleep, etc.), but she went out of her way to provide exercise with walks, play sessions, and outings. She kept in touch with us, providing several photos so we could see what Edgar was doing. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Brianna was fantastic with Dune. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and videos. He was playing, napping, and didn’t appear stressed or anxious at all. Overall, she did an excellent job! Thank you.”
“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”
“So great with her!! My dog is pretty anxious but he was so kind about it, and she warmed up to him quickly. He even took her to a dog park and from the videos he sent they had a blast. Would definitely book again!”
“Danielle and Joy were amazing with Lola! Constantly giving me updates and keeping me posted! I have rebooked with Danielle and Joy and Lola always seem to enjoy her stay!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and Charis and it was fantastic. Charis communicated in a timely manner, great with our dog, and the drop off and pick up process was amazing. We will rebook with Charis in the future as she was just the best!”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Amazing experience having Lottie with Rose. There was never a moment that we didnt know she was safe, taken care of, and spoiled just as much as she is at home. Her and Bhodi got along great and it was great to know she had a play mate while we were gone. Rose also sent lots of photos and updates which helped being away. 10/10!”
“Nancy is very organized and responsive. We can tell she likes caring for dogs and when we picked up Curly he was his normal self. Curly enjoyed having 2 small dogs to play with and Nancy was accommodating to Curly's need for affection. She kept us updated with photos and comments and has a lovely home and yard. We are going to work on Curly's nuisance barking to make it easier for our next reservation with Nancy.”
“Samantha was totally great with Fergus and the pups played so well together- tons of pictures and updates. We’re looking forward to our next stay with Samantha and team! ❤️”
“Ai took great care of my dog Jasper while I was away for a week. Although he was a bit resistant at first, Ai got Jasper to warm up to her quickly and he got along well with her cats. She provided regular updates about how he was doing and sent me lots of pictures. Ai is also so thoughtful in wanting her guests to be comfortable that she asked for Jasper to arrive a little earlier than my booking to help him settle in before I was away and harder to reach. She was also very gracious in transferring care to my friends who watched Jasper for me for the remainder of my trip. I would 100% book with Ai again and highly recommend her to board your pets.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Central Valley
Alisha & Joshua kept Harvey for 8 nights. This was the first time we have left Harvey away from home since he developed heart disease. We were very impressed with the way Alisha and Josh handled the meet and greet. They were very patient and attentive to our extensive directions for care, and the administration of his medications. Harvey approved of their son almost immediately by kissing him on the nose. It was obvious that they loved dogs. We think they could tell how nervous we were, and they kindly shared a photo and note every day which really helped to relax us. Whenever we sent a question, their response was quick. We would give them the highest recommendation!
Jason & DruAnn are great! This was our second time boarding with them. My dog, Millie, immediately recognized and started playing with their golden. She was right at home. Jason gives updates daily - which is great to see that our dog is doing well and enjoying herself. We will definitely book again in the future! Thank you. 😊
Gabrielle is truly awesome! She took my big buddy in super last minute when my regular sitter bailed, gave him endless love and walks and I can tell he had a blast with her!!!! She is super laid back and very patient (my guy did not want to go into the house at first but was bribed with salami lol) I’m so glad we got to meet her and will for sure trust her with my fur baby again! <3
My pup has hung out with Zi & Orion several times, now. Orion & my dog are both mellow, submissive types, so they do well together. Zi is great! When I dropped Lolo off, she ran out of my car & into Zi's house, which she ONLY does when she loves & feels very comfortable with someone. I feel lucky to have found Zi.

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.
92% of sitters in Central Valley 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 Central Valley 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 Central Valley.
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 Central Valley. 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 Central Valley 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.
