“10/10 recommend Katrina and her family!! They showed my fur babies the best care and love :) I felt extremely at peace with them being there! Katrina also sent updates of them everyday making my experience even better than expected! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“First time using Miss Diahann and our pups loved their stay! She came highly recommended from a friend. Communication was excellent and we never had to worry or wonder if they were having a good time. In fact, I thought Benny and Kona would be happier to see me but I think they missed Diahann and the other dogs lol. 😆😊 She was phenomenal and we will be using her services again in the future.”
“Noelle was wonderful. She took my pup on walks and played ball with him. I received daily updates showing with lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Through the photos and videos she regularly sent, I could clearly see how lovingly she and her entire family cared for my dog — it really put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and happy. Knowing that my dog loves water, she even set up a little pool for her, along with balls to play with. It was so thoughtful and sweet. I will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Haylee was very attentive to our dogs needs. This was the first time our boys have been taken care of outside of the family. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and we appreciate that. Will definitely use her service again. Thanks Haylee!”
“Sandy and her husband were so helpful. I had to book at the last minute and drop my dogs off in the evening, and I really appreciated their flexibility. They took good care of my dogs, and my dogs need a lot of exercise and attention. Again, my work went late, and I had to pick them up in the dark. Again, I really appreciated their accommodating my timing. The dogs were in good shape and I was so thankful to Sandy and Justin for looking after my precious fur babies.”
“This was our two large breed dogs first stay with Odalys. We went out of town for 6 night cruise and were inaccessible most of the time, but thankfully everything went great! I really appreciated all the updates and communication. I highly recommend her services! Thanks again Odalys!😊”
“Very responsive, sent pictures, my dog had fun, got lots of exercise in her fenced in yard. I got videos, pics and text updates. I’d definitely recommend and I will visit again.”
“The best puppy sitter!!! Super attentive and communicative. Sent lots of photos and I felt very comfortable with their excellent care of my 4 month old puppy in my absence. When I picked him up I could clearly tell he also likes them. Will be using them each month that they are available to cover his care during my work weeks spent out of state. I highly recommend Anqi and Corey for any pet needs. They are very respectful, responsive and kind! They definitely love animals. What a gem is have found in them.”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”

“We feel so relaxed leaving Gus with Nikkole, knowing he will have tons of fun and tons of snuggles. It’s so convenient that she does drop off and pick up as well.”
“Roger was wonderful and our dog seemed very happy with him at pickup and with the daily photo updates. I accidentally selected the wrong pickup time and and Roger was very accommodating. A+!”

“Mollie did a fantastic job. Our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay. Mollie sent lots of update with photos of our dog happily playing and hanging around the house. Easy to recommend Mollie.”
“AMAZING vacation experience for our two dogs! Loc is such a kind, empathetic, and responsive sitter. We can tell our pups had a great time with his dog. The regular photo and video updates eased our separation and delighted my mother (who we were visiting). We cannot recommend Loc enough!”
“Oh my Goodness Anna and her husband are fantastic! She takes such good care of your babies and is in constant contact. Anna truly strives to make you feel comfortable by taking notes on special feeding instructions and care. Her yard is beautifully fenced in and spacious for pups and best of all she is loving and playful with your fur children when you cannot be there. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elk Plain
I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve boarded Jake with Kristina, but she goes above and beyond every time. This last stay was extra stressful, because he was recovering from a recent surgery, but Kristina did a wonderful job of giving Jake his meds and keeping me updated daily on how he was doing. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable leaving Jake with anyone other than Kristina, because I know I can trust her to take good care of him.
Lashon took excellent care of my dogs- there are three and they have very different personalities. Her family quickly understood the temperaments and neediness of my old ladies and energetic puppy. I will definitely book again! The puppy didn’t want to come home. That is always a great sign!
If you’ve ever met a Vizsla, you know they’re not really a dog, they’re a Velcro powered, high octane emotional support missile. So trusting someone to watch ours was basically like handing over a caffeinated toddler with four legs and separation anxiety. And somehow… Kathy nailed it. Our Vizsla came home happy, exercised, emotionally fulfilled, and only mildly dramatic (which is a huge win). We received daily updates and plenty of action shots. Most importantly, they treated our stage-five clinger like family. 10/10. Would absolutely trust Kathy again with our beautiful, needy, rust-colored tornado

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Elk Plain 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 Plain 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 Plain.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk Plain. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Elk Plain 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
