“This is my second go around with Leslie she’s kind and prompt and you can tell she really loved what’s she’s doing. The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby. My lala loves going over there and her space is clean and open and wants you to feel the most comfortable always. I’m a forever customer ♥️”
“Stanley and family are the best! Our dog Nori is so loved and comfortable in their home. They go for walks and to the dog park and we get pics every day! They are our go-to sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Yuna was an absolute gem to have caring for Pixel! From the start she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly put his wellbeing first. She always checked with us before giving him any food or treats, which meant a lot given how careful we are with his diet. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. Pixel got plenty of exercise and came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell Yuna genuinely loves what she does. Reliable, communicative, and caring. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely book her again! A special shout out to Mocha who was an Excellent doggo, he and pixel became good friends :)”
“Jeff provided a great experience for our dog with some separation anxiety. He made sure our dog felt comfortably as soon as we got there and got him outside and moving. He was a happy dog when we picked him up.”
“If you are a first-time user of the Rover platform, it can be intimidating to leave your pooch with a stranger… Finding the right sitter is key! For returning users, you understand that several factors are involved in making sure you and your furry loved one get the best experience. Here is what makes Joe & Sarah a Five Stars match for us: As aspiring owners, they love dogs but dont have one of their own yet, which means your dog will get all the attention without having to share the space with a roommate. Great location, busy neighborhood with plenty of surrounding nature. Easy & prompt communication. Also open to alternatives if your dog needs special attention. Two of them, which means your little one will be with someone at all time. Book with confidence, we’re already returned customers!”
About: I work an in office job during the week, so during the weekends I just stay home and play with my two pups. That is my typical weekend. I have a fenced yard, we constantly go to dog parks and for walks, my life revolves around them. I am offering dog sitting services for the weekends, drop off Friday afternoon and pick up Sunday for those weekend getaways or just needing alone time. My two pups make friends, and the parents can sleep easy knowing their fur babies are in the best hands. I utilize this app for when I travel, and I completely understand the need to find someone that you trust. The weekend routine consists of morning play time in yard, then we go to a dog park. We spent the afternoon resting and enjoying a treat. Finishing the day with a nice evening walk. I have a fenced yard and two pups that will keep your fur baby company. I am with them 24/7 during weekends, and if I have other plans not to be home I will not have my calendar available that weekend. They will get lots of cuddles and interactive play time.

“This was the third time that Marina and Richard took care of Lucky while we were out of town and it worked out great as before! Drop off and pick up was smooth and they accommodated our times. We got daily photo updates and Lucky was well taken care of. We are glad to have found them for our dog boarding needs!”
“Abby and her partner were totally sweet to Wendy — they helped her feel comfortable in a new space and we had no concerns through our weekend away. Abby sent regular updates and photos, which we so appreciated. It helps so much to know your pup is in good hands!”
“Natalia and Miguel were absolutely amazing at taking care of our pup! They sent us so many photos and videos, and made me feel so comfortable about leaving our pup with them. They brought our dog for a lot of exercise, and I felt like they welcomed her into their home like she was their own dog. I can not thank them enough for the love they gave our dog! I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them to watch your puppy or dog!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bryan and his mom! They took such great care of my dog Neo during his stay. Being the only dog in the house really helped him relax and get all the attention he needed. They shared videos every day, which gave me peace of mind and see how happy and comfortable Neo was. It was clear they spent a lot of time playing with him indoor and outdoor. We're extremely grateful for their care and would absolutely book with them again! Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Deborah took great care of Leo - she was the perfect balance of calm, fun, and firm for him. We got regular updates on his stay, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book again for future trips!”
“Angela is obviously a pet lover and easy to communicate with for bookings. Our needy dog was very excited to be back to stay at her house, which takes a stressor out of travel.”
“Pros: Ginny seemed to have a great time, and Yuliia seems to really like dogs and treat them well. She is very responsive to messages which is great. We appreciated her daily photos/videos, and she followed our instructions. She was agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Our dog has never been with a cat, so she even had a friend watch her cat during the stay to accommodate our dog, which was very kind. Cons: Communication was tricky as English is not her first language. Communication (possibly cultural differences?) was an issue especially with pickup and dropoff. Yuliia seemed to have an inconsistent work schedule and changed the time for dropoff and pickup at the last minute, which was confusing and stressful. At pickup, she was at work and none of my dog’s items were packed, resulting in us leaving some items by accident and needing to schedule another time just to pick them up. Her teenage son was the one who met us at pickup and her friend during pickup of the items, so she was actually not there at all either time. Our dog did seem happy, so overall the stay went well; I just would hope there is better communication next time.”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“David and Betty were perfect!! Excellent communication and they sent lots of pics throughout the stay. Lumen has food allergies and they were super careful with his needs. I really appreciated their attention to detail. Thank you! 🙏🏽 For folks reading the review, rest assured that your pup would be well taken care of and go ahead! 🙂”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Shon was amazing - we left our dog Champ for the first time and he gets very anxious. Shon helped get him to calm down and spend the night. Champ came back happy and we are very grateful.”

This was Luben's first time in recent years boarding in a relatively unfamiliar environment for a full 4 days. He is typically very guarded around strangers, but the care he received was exceptional and completely put my mind at ease. Luben is currently recovering from a paw issue, and the sitter was incredibly attentive—whenever they noticed him trying to lick his paws, they promptly put his cone on and carefully wiped his paws with medicated pads. He came home so energetic and clearly had a great time. I also received frequent photo and video updates every day, which was incredibly reassuring. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!
Jeff and family (2 & 4 legged 😊) members are absolutely amazing! We appreciate daily updates with photos which we could see how comfortable our kiddo was with his pack. We highly recommend Jeff to look after your pets,, and we will definitely request his services again. Thank you so much for your caring Jeff.
Everything about our booking was amazing. Communication was quick and constant, Quang allowed a meet and greet, and they even sent constant quick pictures throughout the 8 days our dogs stayed. I can't recommend them enough and would give 6 stars if I could because their dog was also a very sweet host when we met him.
I’m always thankful when Jason has an opening for Jecht(my dog). He is one of the few sitters I’ve had in the past who I try to choose first. My dog only has a cat for a sibling and my kid is too young to really play with him yet so I know when he’s going to Jason’s he has some proper playtime away from home.

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.
92% of sitters in Fairwood 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 Fairwood 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 Fairwood.
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 Fairwood. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Fairwood 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.
