“Ana is fantastic! She's loving, detailed and intentional with her care. I had to leave my baby with her for 8 days and it was awesome having that peace of mind esp when I was not reachable while overseas. What i was most impressed with is she noticed my pup didn't like her Kibble no surprise there since at home she eats cooked meals and was willing to do the same. This was my 2nd time working with Ana and she was awesome to the point i felt less guilt since I knew she was in great hands. Until next time Ana!”
“Leslie is amazing with my dog! She is very caring and sends regular updates several times a day proactively. I wholeheartedly endorse her to any pet owners. I will be rebooking!”
“We always appreciate Sourabh going the extra mile taking care of our girl Haru. We are always delighted to see all the pictures and videos sent of our girl playing or walking with Bonnie and Pumpkin. We will be booking again in the future.”
“Freddie loves hanging with Maria and her little pack. It's nice and more than a little reassuring to have someone nearby who loves your dog maybe even the teeniest bit more than you do take such good care of your furry friend. I love the updates on all the adventures. Maria's become an integral part of planning any trip.”
“Erika IS a star! Our dog, River was so happy with her. He can be high energy, yet she got him to settle down. He seemed a little depressed when we brought him home! I will book Erika again.”
“Amy and her family were very welcoming with our corgi. She has a great safe and secure yard for dogs to run around in and I know our pup was in heaven. Amy sent many photos of my dog with updates. When my dog did act up, Amy had prompt communication with me as we figured out next steps. She did a great job with him in a hard situation. I'd recommend anyone to Amy - she loves dogs and has a great set up to host furry friends! Thank you!”
“We were very happy with Kaitlin as our pet sitter. This is the first time our dog, Bella, had been away from us and is working through some anxiety issues so I was concerned how she would do. Kaitlin kept me updated with photos and Bella looked so happy and comfortable. My aunt has also used Kaitlin to watch her dog and was equally as satisfied. Highly recommend!”
“Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!”
“So great, accommodating and helpful! She kept me updated throughout the stay and I know my Bella has lots of energy and great vibes so it was nice to know she was being well taken care of.”
“Her calm and friendly demeanor really allowed my family and I to be able to relax during our trip. Kaylie kept our dogs stimulated and hydrated during the heat in August. I will 100% return to Kaylie with my pups and recommend her to everyone I know. She's great and makes you feel like we've known each other for a long time.”
“Katrina and her family took the best care of my two corgis. She sent me so many pictures through out the day so I could stay updated on all of the fun they were having. The kids ran around with them in the backyard and tired them out every day. My girls even got to sleep with the kids which I know made them super happy. I would definitely recommend Katrina and her family to take care of your furry baby.”
“We have repeatedly used Chloe when we need to board our dog. The family is so welcoming and warm and there's great communication the entire time are gone. We're so pleased to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“It's so nice for us to have a reliable, caring dog sitter. We have high confidence in Shay and the care she provides for Kota. We are repeat clients and look forward to the next stay for Kota while we are out of town.”
“Thanks Sherry for taking such great care of my pet! She was incredibly responsible throughout the day care today. She always provides timely photo and videos and takes absolutely great care of Charli and she came home so happy that I highly recommended Sherry! Definitely will book Again!”
“Harumi was so happy during her long term stay with Shouguo!! She’s a senior dog who has more specific needs and she came back in good spirits and well rested. Consistent updates and very cute pictures of Harumi and the family. Would definitely book again!”
“Noelle is the BEST! This was the first time I’ve ever used a dog sitter or Rover so I was nervous, until I met Noelle. She was so welcoming and eased all my worries. Ellie is a six month old Cockapoo so I was worried she might become depressed since this was the first time being away from home but with Noelle’s loving care, Ellie had a blast! I wasn’t sure if she would want to come back home. I appreciated Noelle’s daily updates, pictures and videos. I am so thankful that I found Noelle and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you again, Noelle!”
“Our 15 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, Kira, spent 5 nights with Rudy while we were out of town. Kira got great care and lots of attention during her stay. We were recently having some challenges with Kira eating enough food due to her age and I shared that with Rudy and his wife during our meet and greet before boarding with them for the first time. Rudy's wife has training as a veterinary assistant and figured out a great food combination for Kira and she now eagerly eats all of her meals! Great people, care, walks, and home for Kira to visit. 5+ stars!!!”
“it's a lovely family to leave my dog with. Cookie was well taken care of and had fun, also getting along with the cats well, extra credit to their son Brandon! highly recommended!”

I CANNOT say enough positive things about Rachel! I was soooo relieved to have found her. What a blessing. Our usual sitters were unavailable so we needed to find someone new —which is always anxiety-inducing —but Rachel immediately put us right at ease. I have pretty high standards and expectations for my sitters and I knew immediately after the meet and greet that Rachel, Bunnie, Shoshi & Chris were going to take such good care of our doggie, Dolce! She can be anxious around new people and places, but they were so patient and loving with her that she warmed right up to them. I received so many pictures and video updates that I knew she was having a blast and had settled right in as a part of their pack 🥹 She got lots of love and treats and snuggles, slept in their bed, and it’s a true testament that she wasn’t ready to leave when I came to pick her up. Rachel was also super accommodating with a last minute schedule change due to my work - which I so appreciate, too. They sent her home with a sweet little party favor ☺️ I am so very grateful for you guys and Dolce is looking forward to her next slumber party at Auntie Rachel’s! Thank you :)
I have a very antisocial and really, really reactive Chihuahua. Linda is so good with her, my little girl felt safe and loved. She doesn’t feel that way with everyone, that’s for sure! It was great because she doesn’t have any other pets so my little Tyrannosaurus rex was spoiled and loved! 🥰
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! ❤️🐶
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.
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!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
