“Their communication was great. They took our 8-month old puppy (Betty) into their family for 3 nights. They asked if I was OK if she went on a family hike and sent pictures of Betty on the hike. The whole family is kind and welcoming. Betty enjoyed her time there.”
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be booking with her again. She is calm, patient, and truly understands how to work with reactive and anxious dogs. She made our dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. She also had great communication throughout our time away, sending text and picture updates every morning and evening, which gave us peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Katherine!”
“I've never boarded a dog before as I'm always the one boarding. Aaron asked great questions & followed my instructions perfectly. Nice to have someone I feel confidence leaving my pup(s) with now.”
“Wendy took such good care of my boy! She is very communicative and was flexible when my flight was delayed (departing and arriving). Most importantly Cody came home happy!”
“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!”
“Lindsey, Leland, and their kids took amazing care of our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Callie. She had injured her back leg about a month before her stay, and they were incredibly thoughtful in managing her needs. They made sure she got all her medications and adjusted her walks based on what she could handle. I’m pretty sure Callie felt like she was at a spa—between the gentle attention, extra brushing, and love from their three wonderful kids, she was clearly in great hands. I accidentally mixed up the pickup date by a day, but Lindsey and Leland were incredibly accommodating and kept Callie that extra day without hesitation. I was so relieved, knowing she wouldn’t have to be shuffled to a different home just for one night. Throughout her stay, they regularly updated us with photos—Callie lounging in the grass, out on a walk, or happily curled up in someone’s lap. The peace of mind they gave us was priceless. If I could give Lindsey and Leland six stars, or more, I absolutely would. They went above and beyond in every way.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful to book with. She got us in last minute, was very responsive, and gave lots of updates with pictures. She even met us closer for drop off, as she was in the area.Our dogs were in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”
“My dogs were well taken care of with Nicole. She kept me posted on how they were doing and has a great set up for housing pups, with property for dogs to walk and play. She was easy to work with and was able to watch my dogs with a last minute request. I highly ecommend!”
“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.”
“Kim and James took such good care of our dog. They are both extremely caring and did so much to make sure she was comfortable and felt loved. We will definitely use them again.”
“Manny and Stefan were great! They spend lots of time with the dogs, letting them run around all day. Super flexible in accommodations, and plenty of chickens and cows for the dogs to observe. Will be booking with them again.”
“Leslie was outstanding with my older dog, Ginger. She took picures and sent me text messages to let me know how she was doing. So pleased with her care that I booked a second stay next month!”
“Kara was absolutely AMAZING! Could not recommend her enough. She sent multiple updates with wonderful pictures, and communicated very very well. Both of our dogs felt so loved and cared for. She is so sweet and has a genuine heart 💗 thank you again Kara! Tater and Maggie miss you already.”
“Heidi and her family did a fantastic job of watching our Dog Hazy over the week of Thanksgiving. We have a high energy 2 year old lab. She took the time to throw a ball for her daily and really made her feel part of the family. We have never had anyone watch our dog overnight and for a few days like this before. This was a great option and we could really see that our dog was treated well and I will definitely have Heidi and family watch Hazy again when we travel.”
“Trixie has stayed with Lynda several times now, and she is always great with her. Trixie is a VERY high energy heeler mix dog, and Lynda helps keep her moving with lots of fetch when the other dogs tire out.”
“Justin is my go-to dog sitter for when I go out of town! He's always willing to watch my dog on short notice, and let me pick her up and drop her off whenever works best for my schedule. I can tell my dog absolutely loves staying with him, as she gets SO Excited when we get there, and always comes home exhausted. It's great that she can play with his family and get all her energy out and be a dog. I never worry about River when I am out of town, so that's a nice feeling! Thanks again Justin for helping me out.”
“Carley was awesome! She made me feel comfortable with leaving him by always keeping me updated and responding quickly to requested check ins. I will be using her again in a couple weeks. :) thanks for treating Russo like yours!”

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.
96% of sitters in Elk 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 Elk 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 Elk.
<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 Elk 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.
