“Such an amazing stay! My 11m old puppy hasn’t been away from me that often and I was a bit worried in the beginning. Their big yard and all the doggy friends made it a dog park for my Yumi, she had so much fun even in this Seattle weather! I am especially thankful for Janessa’s work to settle her inside and during the night, since Yumi is still a curious puppy. Would recommend this place 100%! Yumi didn’t want to come home with me at the end 🤣”
“Lexi and Vic are one of a kind! Super accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog Finn had a blast running around with their furry friend all week and they sent great updates to let me know how my pup was doing. 10/10 would recommend and will book again!”
“Eryn was amazing and my pup enjoyed his weekend so much! Got to see lots of fun pics and videos while I was away which was very reassuring. My pup can be a little nervous but Eryn knew how to interact with him and he seemed happy, relaxed, and worn out from running when I picked him up. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Dana and her husband were great with Charlie! He was able to run outside and play inside. She even made some sweet homemade treats Charlie loved! Thank you again! ”
“Her calm and friendly demeanor really allowed my family and I to be able to relax during our trip. Kaylie kept our dogs stimulated and hydrated during the heat in August. I will 100% return to Kaylie with my pups and recommend her to everyone I know. She's great and makes you feel like we've known each other for a long time.”
“This was a first stay for Marley with Heather, and a first stay for me using Rover. I am very pleased with Heather's caring attention to Marley. She sent photos several times a day and it looks like he was doing very well. I will definitely book with Heather again.”
“Zankhana was absolutely wonderful! Our dog got several walks every day, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to know he was happy and well taken care of. We already booked its next stay! 🐾❤️”
“Jean was excellent with my two greyhounds as always. When I had an emergency and needed to keep extending pickup to later in the week, she was very accommodating and I was able to deal with my emergency without needing to worry about my pets.”
“Our dog Penny always has so much fun at Mrs. Katie's house. She loves playing with their dog Blue and snuggling, relaxing later. It's her fun vacation home away from home.”
“Kathie is an amazing dog sitter! She’s so caring and took care of our dog as her own. She has amazing communication and is so accommodating. We will definitely rebook with her!!!”
“Pablo had a great time with his new friends at Quinten’s home. I got short, video updates and prompt communication. Quinten was flexible and attentive; we look forward to booking again.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Nari! Throughout the booking process and the stay itself, she was very friendly and responsive. We got lots of pictures of our pup playing with her two sweet dogs. We would absolutely book with her again when the situation arises!”
“Courtney always takes the very best care of Opie! Whether it is his daily walks or boarding him while we are away - she cares and loves on him like he was her own. We have total trust in her and peace knowing he is well cared for.”
“Lucy seemed to have a great time at Lexi's. Lexi was a great host, easy to communicate and coordinate with and really passionate about being around and taking care of animals. We will definitely re-book with Lexi in the future.”
“Katrina and her family took the best care of my two corgis. She sent me so many pictures through out the day so I could stay updated on all of the fun they were having. The kids ran around with them in the backyard and tired them out every day. My girls even got to sleep with the kids which I know made them super happy. I would definitely recommend Katrina and her family to take care of your furry baby.”
“Loved having Diana watch our puppy during our recent trip. Lots of pics & videos. Ringor enjoyed playing with the other pups & even got to join a trip to the farm ❤️”
“Xiaoshan and Xiuli did a great job boarding my dog. They took the time to make sure she got along well with the other pets in the house. They took her on walks and shared photos of her enjoying her time with them. Will definitely reach out to book them 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 Durham 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 Durham.
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 Durham 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.
