“This was our first time boarding our dog, Lily, so we were a little nervous, but Crystal made the whole experience so easy. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated her flexibility with our pickup and drop off times. She kept us updated with pictures throughout Lily’s stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious Lily was having a great time, she got lots of walks, plenty of attention, and came home happy and tired. She also has a great property and a wonderful family environment that made us feel confident Lily was in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Cheryl took amazing care of my two dogs while I was out of town. They stayed at her place and she sent daily updates and photos of them. They seemed very happy and relaxed while there. :) I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Leslie was so super great with our boy Dota. She and her dogs just loved him so much and had a great time playing. We would recommend Leslie to anyone.”
“Justin is amazing! He watched my 1-year-old puppy for 5 nights while I was away. Anyone who knows my dog knows he has an endless battery and will happily play for hours on end. I always worry a bit about leaving him because he requires so much activity to stay out of trouble, but Justin handled it perfectly. My dog came home incredibly happy, and I could tell he was in the best of hands the entire time. Thank you, Justin!”
“Eileen and Jeff took great care of my shy dog. Opie seemed comfortable and happy staying with them, and they sent photos regularly so I could see for myself. Communication was clear and easy; overall a great experience.”
“We dropped off Ziggy for the weekend after a visit to the vet where we left with four medications, a cone and a bloody paw. Philip didn't flinch. (He was two minutes from where I was visiting my mom, so we could have been there if anything had come up.) We didn't get a lot of updates, but we came back to a dog who seemed happy, and better yet, hadn't been chewing on his paw. Highly recommend.”
“Carley was a good sitter for our energetic puppy. She and her dogs knew what to do with all of his energy. We left him there for a week and didn’t worry about him.”
“Abigail was amazing while I was on my trip. She sent so many pictures, went on daily walks, and had a beautiful yard with a doggy pool for them to play in. Highly recommend!”
“Kym is awesome and my dog had the best time! I felt so comfortable leaving him in Kym’s care while I was gone and loved the pics she sent. Five stars all the way !!!”
“Our pup had an amazing stay! We got multiple updates, with photos, every day. May took our boy on walks every day and I am not sure he will want to come home after all the fun adventures he had! We will definitely use May again!”
“My senior girl loved Janiel's place. Beautiful yard, ball throwing, and Janiel made sure to keep me updated with pics. So glad I found such a great place for Scout. She tells me she hopes to visit again.”
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Georgia and her pet family. She sent us photos and videos of our dogs throughout their stay. We will definitely use Georgia again for our pet needs. Thank you!”
“I’m so thankful for Zachary and his wife! Our Luna has been a bit depressed since her stroke a few years ago but after coming home from doggy daycare with them she way spunky, happy, and is even spending more time outside with a smile whereas it was difficult to get her to enjoy much time outside before as she would want to go back into the house or wouldn’t leave the back porch much. I’m so happy to see her rolling in the dirt and playing now. This means the world!!! She requires a lot of care and they did an excellent job even wrapping her foot really well and keeping it protected. We will definitely be going back and I look forward to her having another fun visit in the future. Thank you both so much and we will see you soon!”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda provides the perfect boarding experience for Penny: being a somewhat timid dog, Penny appreciates being the only dog being hosted. Penny is always happy to go to and see Amanda, and explore the huge fenced back yard. We appreciate Amanda’s updates and great understanding of Penny. Thank you Amanda!🥰”
“Ace had an amazing time as always! We received TONS of pictures and videos during his stay. Sophia is incredible at keeping us updated and always makes sure he has more than enough attention and play time! ◡̈”
“I always feel comfortable leaving Zuko when I go on trips. They are amazing with updates and I can tell they genuinely care and enjoy watching him! Thank you guys again!”
“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book 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 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.
<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 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.
