“I was very apprehensive to board my 4-month old Lab. Terry and his wife did fantastic caring for our high energy pup. They have a lovely setup at their home and are very genuine people.”

“On our second time booking with Enrique, Athena remembered how well she liked it there. She cried to get off the car and went straight into the house like it was her second home. It made us feel good that she was happy to come back. We will book again soon, for sure!!”

About: I've taken care of the family dogs for as long as I've been conscious enough to and have further sat for family friends and other relatives. I have trained my own puppy (he's almost 3 now), have some experience with administering medication (oral and topical), and have looked after senior dogs in various stages of their old age. I have owned and cared for dogs of various sizes from tiny chihuahuas to larger than average rottweiler mixes and handled many different temperaments. I currently do not have a job, so I am able to spend as long as necessary with your pet. I am free all day on most weekends for things like check ins or walks, but on weekdays I can only do boarding or daycare (as I also lack a car). I have a fully fenced in yard and two friendly (medium to large) dogs to play with (my poodle and my father's Rottweiler). I also have access to a kennel/crate if needed, but my sister's dog broke it, so it's more for dogs that are already crate trained and won't avidly try to get out or dogs that don't need fully kenneled and just need their own space.
“I was anxious about leaving my dog in the care of someone I didn't know, but Alli was the best choice I could have made! She lovingly took great care of my dog and sent me pictures to ease my anxiety. She was also very quick to respond to messages and answered any questions I had. I had to drive an hour out of my way to get to Alli, but I would happily do so over and over again. Thank you so much, Alli!”

“Brooke did amazing with Joey. We set up a meeting beforehand to let the dogs meet, and they all got along swell. She left me pictures and updates on how Joey was doing. My dog looked happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would recommend her if you need your dog taken care of and want peace of mind.”

“Our pup had a great time. We got updates with pictures throughout the weekend we were away. He didn’t make it long in the car before falling asleep on the way home. We will definitely be using Jen again in the future!”

About: I have cared for mostly pit bull type dogs and unwanted other dogs (seniors, chewers)- I have a lot of care and patience for animals of all kinds. I have a full time job during the week but am available weekends and some holidays if you want to go out of town. I usually feel a little guilty leaving my dogs behind while I go camping but many federal lands don’t accept dogs, even on a leash. Just know they will be cared for and played with at my house. I usually get out once a day to go to the parks with my dogs so I would love to take yours too! I feed my dogs a special dinner nightly and in the morning. They have a doggy door they go in and out of to a large fenced back yard. They are allowed on the furniture and are walked to run off leash in a park on a daily basis.
“Maria did a fantastic job caring for our pup while we were away, he was obviously well taken care of, got along great with her dog and had a great time! Communication was easy and we got regular updates. Highly recommend Maria and wouldn't hesitate to board our dog with her again!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life, and I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your dog while you’re away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. What sets me apart is that your dog won’t simply be “boarded” here — they’ll be welcomed into my home and treated like part of the family. I’m a mom of four boys, so I’m very comfortable managing busy days, routines, lots of activity, and plenty of love and attention! My home is a warm, family environment where dogs can relax, play, get lots of affection, and enjoy being included in everyday life. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine and am happy to follow your preferences for feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, medications, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also know how reassuring updates are when you’re away, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins throughout their stay. My goal is for you to be able to leave your dog knowing they’re safe, loved, and being cared for like one of my own — and for your pup to be excited to come back! I just recently lost my sweet girl of 13 years and I miss her so! 💗 I work part-time from home, so I’m home and available throughout much of the day to give your dog plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my family’s daily routine, and your pup will get lots of love and interaction while they’re here. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedule as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I provide a loving, family-centered home where dogs are treated like one of my own. I have four boys who love animals, so dogs staying with me will have plenty of attention and affection! I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, crates, and any special routines. I’m careful about supervising dogs in my care and want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up we always had many pets, and I would often spend my weekends and holidays sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages, and especially with blind and deaf dogs. I have a 6 year old Golden of my own who adores other dogs and cats, and tennis balls of course. I work from home and recognize that others may not have this option, so I wanted to open up my home to provide a caring space for other pet owners when needed. I have a fenced in back yard but take my girl out often throughout the day to one of the many parks that are very closeby. Working remotely means I am also flexible in my hours and am able to offer walks and drop ins as needed, always giving each pet as much attention as I can. I treat every animal as I would my own and understand how difficult it can be to be away from them. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend soon! Weekends work best, but can entertain on weekdays. Can have up to two more pets to continue the same exercise/play schedule I have for my own pet. I have a laid back dog. I will be around in the mornings and evenings to feed, play and clean up after. With permission, I would love to take your fur baby on walks, hikes, or to the dog park to get some energy out and for mental stimulation.
“Vanessa and her husband are top notch! Took really good care of my dog. Kept me updated with pictures and messages. Treated him with some fun activities. Overall I am very happy with their service. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!!”

“Olivia and her pet crew offered a perfect stay for our dog. He had fun playing and being silly with her pets and that was a perfect fit. The best part was that Olivia is only 30 min to the Gorge and they do not allow dogs at the campsite. So we were able to have our dog on our long road trip with very little inconvenience. Thanks Olivia!”

Shelly is absolutely fantastic! We left our French Bulldog, Remi in her care for over a week. She was kind, considerate, and very loving. It was beyond clear that she appreciates animals, and Remi was treated exceptionally well. Communication was super easy. Shelly provided many updates and followed our care instructions perfectly. I would recommend her without hesitation, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the near future.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
