“Crystal is obviously a dog whisperer! Woody apparently wasn't so sure he wanted to stay at her house at first, but she and her family were so patient and kind with him that he decided to join their pack after all! Their house is out in the country, and once he settled in, he had a really great time. Crystal lives not far from Coeur d'Alene, and she made our vacation there worry-free. Thanks, Crystal, for a great experience for Woody and for us!”
“Simply amazing! We had an extremely last minute booking as we had to leave town unexpectedly (like only a few hours notice). Abigail happily took sawyer and i knew he would be so well cared for. She even was flexible when our trip got extended a bit (so sorry Abigail!!) Sent lots of pics and updates and i know Sawyer was so happy. 100000% book with abigail!”
“Amanda was fantastic! Lucy was very well taken care of and we received picture texts while we were away for the Thanksgiving weekend. She had Amanda’s dog Tibbers to play with and they went for a walk when weather permitted. We will definitely use Amanda again!”
“This is the second time Carley has watched my golden doodle and it was a great experience! I would recommend Carley if you are looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Phillip took care of our pup for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job. He sent us pictures throughout which assured us everything was going well. I wouldn’t hesitate to board with Phillip in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our baby! He had a blast with the other doggos and the sleep overs/extra cuddles with the girls. Thank you so much for everything!”
“She did a great job at taking care of my pup. He was very happy and had lots of fun play time while there. She was very wonderful to work with on scheduling and I definitely recommend her.”
“The Best Dog Sitter Experience. Ashley and her family were Amazing. They treated our dog Rosie like their own. Rosie normally has anxiety and doesn’t eat at the kennel or when we are away. She had not of that with Ashley and Robbie. They were so concerned about her wellbeing. They kept us updated with regular posts and videos and pics. In fact, I was a little worried that Rosie might not want to come home. We will definitely use Ashely again, and never kennel if we can help it.”
“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”
“Lynda was great with Murphy. First time left in a new person’s home without his brother. He was happy playing with the other dogs. And got much needed play time. I will have Lynda watch Murphy again.”
“Kellie was a fantastic puppy sitter for our mini Golden, Birdie. She and her family (and two Golden Retrievers) were kind and welcoming and Birdie was immediately being loved by the kids and playing with the dogs. Kellie sent me “pupdates”, messages and photos, a few times a day to keep me in the loop. And She was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Birdie came home tired and happy and we look forward to her next slumber party with Kellie and her family. I highly recommend Kellie as a caring, confident and fun dog sitter!”
“Jessica patiently helped my anxious puppy feel at comfortable in her home and fun yard. She loves dogs, understands dog behavior, and communicates well, making her my first choice for a place for my Roxy to play during the day or stay longer while we travel. Thank you Jessica!”
“My Bodi is always well taken care of with Taylor💓🤩 I always know he’s going to have a blast and that he’s loved when he’s there. She’s my “go to” for sure. So thankful for her help in spur of the moment situations too.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. I had an emergency and she was able to take my 3 Basset Hounds within a couple of hours. They stayed with her for a week. My dogs were welcomed with open arms and treated exactly how they are at home- even getting to sleep in bed with her and snuggle time on the couch. She always responded to my messages within minutes, and sent me several updates, pictures, and videos of my babies every day. She also made sure to ask questions about habits, personalities, medications, feeding, etc. I was so scared to drop them off, but Samantha quickly eased my anxiety, making sure I knew they were okay and adjusting well. I cant recommend her enough. Ellie is hard to win over and within a couple of days I find out that she is following Samantha all over the house. A very impressive feat. She will be my first contact should I need to board my babies again. Thank you, Samantha for making a stressful situation the easiest it could have been, and for taking such good care of my girls.”
“Highly recommended! I was so nervous about finding someone we could trust to watch our miniature schnauzer. Above & beyond-eased my trepidations with a meet-and-greet before our reservation. We knew our spoiled fur baby would be well cared for. The photo updates were wonderful. 🥰 Great communication!”
About: I love furry friends and I’ll be more than happy to care for yours! I have cared for pets for all my life. I live close to work so I will be able to walk & let dogs out often. I’m available for boarding anytime! I work full time Monday through Friday- but I live close to work so I am able to check on pets during breaks and lunchtime. I have a front yard and a back yard, not fenced. Chris Garry Park is only two blocks away! I have a small clean apartment with plenty of space for a kennel and any necessities.

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 Darknell 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 Darknell.
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 Darknell 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.
