“My dog stay went well. Loved the updates and pictures sent by Diahann. We will definitely use her services again when we go out of town because kennels were not working for him.”
“From the moment we booked with Noelle we felt confident that our boy would be in very good care. Noelle exceeded all our expections, she is beyond amazing!!! We would get daily updates and photos. Jack got daily walks and play time with her sweet dogs. We will definitely be using Noelle's services in the future!”
“If you’re looking for the right person to take care of your dog while you’re gone, and still have peace of mind, get Mariko. We appropriate her so much! Regular updates of Dart, our English Golden Retriever- through videos and photos. She poured a lot of love and affection and care. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Mariko! We are glad we found you!”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Jeannine was a great experience, again! She sent us the funniest pictures and let us know our dog was doing okay. Highly recommend Jeannine for dog sitting!”
“Tim and his family have been amazing opening their home up to my two hound dogs. The hounds are always happy and tired when returning home. Tim looks after the little 14 lbs runt and tiny hound has a good time playing with the big dogs without issue. My older hound seems quite content with the peace he is able to find even when there are multiple dogs present. Huge thank you to Tim & company for the relief of knowing there is a reliable and safe place for them to board/daycare with familiar faces.”
“My dog Bernie always has the best time with Marilyn and her dogs. She takes such great care of him! He always enjoys his stay with her and her family. With Marilyn I never have to worry about Bernie. I know that he is being cared for the same way she cares for her own dogs.”
“I boarded my nervous little dog with Heather, and I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received. Heather connected with me each day with a report of my dog's state of being. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in excellent hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“Rebecca had my dog Kyra over a holiday weekend when I needed someone last minute for a family emergency! This was my first time using rover and She was so quick to respond and was so kind! I could tell instantly that Kyra was going to be well taken care of and have fun with her, her family, and the other pups! She’s friendly, kind, and clearly has a big heart for animals! Kyra came home happy and tuckered out from a few days of playing! I highly recommend her!”
“Nikkole is amazing with our dogs and has the most beautiful yard for them to run around and be happy. She was great about updates and photos. They were so happy there. Will book again.”
“Kaitlin took great care of my dog, Moose. He absolutely loved playing with Kaitlin's puppy and seemed to be very comfortable/happy in the photo updates that Kaitlin provided throughout the weekend. Kaitlin seemed well-attuned to Moose's needs and I would definitely have her sit for me again.”
“Awesome, Justin & Sheena were amazing providers and my dog Snow felt at home. I highly recommend the use of their services, I am definitely a repeat customer and I know Snow look forward to future time with Rocky & Bow!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Jennifer made my Karlie feel so welcomed in her home from the first meet and greet. I'm so glad I chose Jennifer to board and care for my Karlie and she just loved playing with her dogs so much. I love the way Jennifer went out of her way to send many special pictures of my Karlie's activities there and special tips from Jennifer. Once again thank you and hope to use your services again in the near future.”
“My dog had an amazing stay with Jaegan. He stayed for 5 days over Christmas. Quick to respond and kept me up to date with videos and pictures. Thank you!! Will definitely be my number one go to for my next trips.”
“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”
“This was my first time leaving my pooch and Mollie made it a very wonderful experience. She kept me up to date on Harleys happiness. She truly went above and beyond my expectations. I believe Harley will be making visits again soon and often. Thank you Mollie Harley and I appreciate you!”
“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.”
“Molly was wonderful. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She is kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Kristin took my booking at the last minute and made time to come meet us before hand. She also went out of her way to pick up and drop off our dog which is NOT something she typically offers. It was a huge relief to find help for a very senior dog at the last minute.”
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
This was our first time using Rover and Stephanie did a great job taking care of our fur babies. It was a last minute booking and she was kind and accommodating, meeting us in the evening at a time that fit our schedule so we could meet her and see where they would be staying. Will definitely see if she is available next time.

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 Elk Plain home-away-from-home, 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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.
