“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“Linda was wonderful and Nuggie was very well taken care of. She took him on frequent walks and provided updates throughout his stay. I would recommend and have my pets stay with her again without hesitation!”
“Michelle and Sam are WONDERFUL!! Our dog Cookie is always SO excited to see them and to be with their dogs as well. Loving, wonderful, kind, AMAZING! Thank you both.”
“Very nice couple. We booked them for a short stay and they took care good of ours boys, very flexible for drop off and pick up time, also always send pictures and updates! Thank you again”
“Highly recommend the sitter . Received pics and videos of Nemo all the time and he was well taken care of . I appreciate the responsiveness since I had requested last minute booking.”
“This was my first time using Rover and after reading many sitter profile reviews I decided on Maggie. After our meet and greet I was very pleased. I have a Maltese so I wanted a household that catered to small doggies, had a fenced yard, and wouldn’t be crated. All of my needs were obviously met. I got to witness Maggie in action as she was sitting a couple of adorable dogs during our meet and greet. During a potty break in the fenced back yard my dog Lola followed and immediately pottied just like all her new friends. (That was such a relief to me as she only likes to “go” on her own grass!). Then we talked about sleeping and feeding and I was so happy about Maggie’s attitude. She truly wants your dog to be happy, so she lets you bring whatever you feed them at home (I’m one of those that cooks my own food for my dog!) so I just packed up baggies for each day that she kept in her fridge. I left my dog for 7 days with Maggie. I got pictures and/or videos with a nice message on how she was doing everyday. It was really reassuring to hear from her. When we got back from our trip, she was so excited to see us but was definitely comfortable with Maggie. Lola doesn’t easily warm to new people, but Maggie had definitely won her over. Next time I plan on going out of town I would not hesitate to book with Maggie.”
“Marisol is a wonderful caring individual who took excellent care of my dog Onyx. She went above and beyond to welcome Onyx to her home. I so appreciate her attention to detail and communication. Onyx is thrilled for his next stay with Marisol!”
“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”
“Carmen was absolutely awesome with our pup! She sent wonderful updates with detailed info and pictures/videos and did an especially good job enforcing good potty habits and new commands for our puppy who’s still learning. I’d highly recommend her for any sitting needs, she’s got a repeat customer in us for sure!”
“Betty and David are wonderful sitters! They always provide my dog the best care and attention and provide so many updates! If I could use them all the time, I would!”
“Arnie always loves his stay with Rikke and Luna. My favorite part is getting lots of pictures, a daily update and seeing all the lovely walks he’s being taken on.”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Sara was incredible! It was our first time having our dog, Ellie, stay with her, and she had the time of her life. Sara sent us pictures and videos during her stay so that we could see how much fun she was having. Sara’s organization and infrastructure was perfect for Ellie because she likes being around other dogs. Sara’s communication is on point and drop off/pick up was super simple. Pretty much like a 5 star doggy resort!”
“Francena’s Doggy Disneyworld is a literal oasis for your small breed dog 🐾💕 They have the perfect set up outside and inside for pups to live their best life!! I think my little Poppy might miss it more than I’d like!”

Michelle was absolutely amazing with Luna! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dog. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible throughout Luna’s stay. She made sure Luna was taken outside regularly for walks, gave her food and medication on time, and most importantly, gave her so much love and attention. Luna came back so happy and comfortable, and it was clear to me that she had been very well taken care of. Michelle also kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Michelle with Luna again in the future, without hesitation. In fact, she will be one of the first people I contact whenever I need someone to care for Luna. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved pet. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that your dog is in caring, loving, and responsible hands. Thank you so much, Michelle, for taking such wonderful care of my little Luna! ❤️🐶
Linda was absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we booked with her, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent thoughtful, sweet updates throughout the stay — photos and little messages about the activities our dog was enjoying — which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out is how content and relaxed our dog was when she came home. This has never happened after stays at other facilities, where she would return stressed or unsettled. With Linda, she came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We hope that we get to book with you again in the future. Thank you, Linda!
Spring and Adil are reliable, pleasant people and responsible pet owners who maintain a clean, comfortable home suitable for both small and medium-sized dogs. Their own dog is friendly and well behaved. I highly recommend them for pet stays and would feel confident entrusting a pet to their care.
This is our second time having Rachel sit with Luna and it was great knowing Luna was in good hands while we were away. Luna got excellent attention and care and even some extra long walks. I got tons of photos and updates as well which always puts me at ease! Thanks again Rachel! ♥️
All wonderful things to say about Maggie! We had a great meet and greet and got to meet her awesome fur babies and super cozy home. She sent so many pictures of Milo throughout his stay. He didn’t even look like he wanted to come back to us haha! She’s probably the only person who can take care of my baby just like I do.
Alex and her lab are fantastic with my pup. She has a dog that my pup loved to play with in the large yard and a young child that my dog enjoyed splashing in a pool with! Alex is quick to communicate and easy to work with, very responsible with instructions and items sent- like a special harness and food timing. Thanks Alex!
Judith was great. She and her husband really care for dogs and it shows with how they cared for our dog. She provided daily updates on how our dog was acclimating to her new environment and with the other dogs in her care. The large backyard and doggie door were a huge plus since we knew our little girl loves to go outside a lot and run. We won’t hesitate to book again.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Federal Way sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Federal Way landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Federal Way 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 Federal Way.
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.
You and your Federal Way 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.
