“Barbara is great! Outstanding communication from start to finish. And most importantly, our quirky little Molly seemed immediately at home. She can be unpredictable in her eating and eliminating habits, and also needs a daily medication but Barbara was understanding, patient and took it all in stride and I was fully confident that Molly was in good hands and we could enjoy our pet free holiday. I highly recommend her and she will be our first choice to care for Molly.”
“Alisha and Joshua worked wonders with our 12 year old dog, helping her get over her fear of other dogs. She had a great stay at their house with regular snuggles and exercise. I appreciated the daily photos and texts.”
“Sarah and her family took care of our dog for a long time, kept me posted and was easy to work with. Timber did even better than I’d hoped. Highly recommend as she’s loads of experience and a great communicator.”
“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“Catherine was the best rover we could ask for. She took EXCELLENT care of our dog and provided us high quality updates just like we asked. Catherine and her family made our dog feel so special in his home away from home. They poured a lot of love onto our dog and we would absolutely book with her again !”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“This was the longest trip I have taken without my dog and I am so thankful for Teanna knowing my dog was well taken care of during it all! They go on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch in the fenced-in tennis courts, and enjoy lots of cuddles on the couch. I appreciate all the updates and pictures shared.”
“Wan was absolutely excellent. She would send pictures and videos of the dog everyday. I would definitely use her service again. The dogs really enjoyed themselves with Wan and her family. AAA++”
“Angela was awesome with Monte. I was worried leaving him in a new place for 3 nights. She sent pictures of him having fun which let me relax and enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
“We did a trial “doggy day care” with Reagan prior to a weekend boarding with our dog, just to make sure it was a good fit — when we brought our pup back the following weekend she was very excited to pull up to the house! Reagan is a very efficient communicator, and appears to be a responsible dog-sitter! We will happily be using her services again!”
“Karissa sent pics of Benji everyday and add sure I was up-to-date! They did a great job taking care of Benji and I know he had a great time there. Lots of room to roam and have fun. Highly recommend her services!”
“Thank you for everything Chelsea! You take really good care of Mishka every time and I very much appreciate it. I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Our dog was very happy to stay at Rebecca's again. She sent regular updates and we had absolute confidence our pup was safe and happy and enjoying his time. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Nancy and here family were amazing in taking care of our cat. He settled in very quickly and she was super responsive and sent us loads of pictures! Would gladly leave Whidbey in her care again ♥️”
“Swanson has been staying with Darin for about 2 years now. We can tell by how tired and calm Swanson is when he comes home that he's well loved with Darin. Darin is a great communicator, and really a great dog person. He really meets the needs of each dog individually and it really shows.”
“Carolyn was absolutely wonderful with our DeauxDeaux. She put our mind at ease leaving him and kept us updated throughout his stay. Our little guy was well cared for and for that, we're grateful. Couldn't ask for more.”
“I've used a lot of people on Rover and I've always been happy but this time I am extremely happy he did such a great job with communication my dog was extremely happy and I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my dog”
“Copper had a great time with Pam and Jon this past weekend. He isn’t senior dog, but he does demand a good amount of attention and Pam and Jon were happy to accommodate him. They took him for jogs at the park and let him play with water from the hose in their backyard – his absolute favorite! I could definitely tell how much fun he had when he came home tired and happy. Pam and Jon were super communicative and flexible with their scheduling, and we got text and photo updates every day of Copper’s stay.”
“Jamie and her family took a great care of our pup during our weekend trips. They share pictures and communicate well during his time there. We will come back next time for sure☺️”

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 Discovery Junction 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 Discovery Junction.
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 Discovery Junction 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.
