“Charis was the absolute perfect pet sitter for our adopted Pug. Our pup had never been boarded before. And, because she’s used to going with us almost everywhere she experiences significant separation anxiety when she cannot go. And, although she likes her crate we do not crate her at night. She has always slept on our bed with us. Charis understood & did not have any problem allowing our pup to sleep on their bed with them. And, dog loves playing with other dogs. So, the fact that Charis had French & English Bulldogs that were of similar size & temperament made her place the obvious choice. Not to mention the kind & caring atmosphere at her home. It was very obvious that our pup had a great time because she came home exhausted & happy. And, was very relaxed & at peace the next day. We also really appreciated receiving daily updates & photos via text. It really helped to set our minds at ease. We definitely intend to use Charis again. And, we will highly recommend her services to everyone we meet.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“We used Miranda for 3 days while my wife was in the hospital. She took great care of our 7 month old mini labradoodle. We would not hesitate to use her services again, and highly recommend her.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with Jeffrey and such an inviting person ♡ I loved the fact that her dog wishbone was so friendly a d happy to be qith our dog Jeffrey ♡ definitely recommend for dog boarding ♡♡”
“This was our first time using Rover and we could rave on and on about Luisa. We used her while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very communicative, friendly, sent us tons of pictures and videos and treated our dog Stitch like one of her own including taking her to the park. When we picked Stitch up she gave us some key emergency docs that are recommended to have (she's pet CPR certified) and then she checked in with us later to make sure Stitch was adjusting back home ok. She is a natural pet lover and a wonderful person. Definitely found Stitch's new home away from home!”
“Lorelei was absolutely fantastic! She watched our Jack Russell while my husband and I were away for a long weekend last minute, and I could not have been more comfortable leaving our girl in her care. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety, and during her stay with Lorelei she was not left alone even once. After bringing her home, she was so exhausted from a weekend of play that she slept for almost an entire day. Would definitely recommend her, and will be booking with her again!”
“Sara was amazing!!! She kept me up-to-date on my pups the entire time & made sure they received lots of love. I would definitely recommend her & will be using her services again in the future ?”
“Maria was amazing with my dog Comet! He had such a good time with her and her dogs! He was wagging his tail both when I dropped him off. I look forward to having him stay with her again!”
“Alisha and Joshua took great care of our dog and gave us a great peace of mind while on vacation. We will absolutely be using them again in the future! Highly recommend them for all your little dog needs!”
“Bailey & Kyle took good care of our puppy. We started with a day long visit, then scheduled an overnight stay and graduated to a week long stay. She stays busy playing and comes home happy and tired.”
“I believe Charmaine was a great fit due to her specialization with small dog breeds, over 15 years of experience, and her emphasis on safety helped ensure me Buddy was well taken care of and that he had a great experience. She gave my family and I daily updates with photos of Buddy having a good time. My family and I appreciate her taking good care of Buddy and hope to reach out to her in the future for boarding.”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“Kirsten was such a wonderful and responsive sitter for our dog Winston. She returned him safe, healthy, and exhausted. He had such a great time playing with all the other dogs over at her place. We will definitely be using her again, I can't recommend her enough!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Apollo stayed with Ruslana for a week over the holidays - we received lots of photos and she was really flexible on drop off/pick up when our plans changed. Apollo clearly had a great time and feels comfortable there, and we will definitely take him back in the future!”
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“The best people I’ve ever left Arbor with. They really went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Sent pictures regularly. Even gave her a bath and brushed her! Will 100000% book again!”
“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Alex did a great job watching our 3 pups! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated on how they were doing. She was flexible with pickup and drop off times as well. We felt comfortable knowing our pups were staying with her! She has a large yard with plenty of room to play. Highly recommended!
Our dog jumped out of our car and made himself right at home at Kayla’s, not a trace of hesitation! Spacious country property and good company must have kept him playing for the 4 days he was there. When we picked him up he was stretched across the back seat and sleeping in minutes like he could play no more! Must have been 4 days of doggie fun camp….
Scott is great, he treats Alex like one of the family by sharing his chair while watching tv. Scott also keeps us up to date on how Alex is getting along with the other dogs with plenty of pictures. Strongly recommend Scott if you’re looking for a great dog sitter. We wouldn’t use anyone else if he’s available.
We love Tiffany. We never go on vacation unless she is available. She sends pictures of my pups having fun, messages how they are doing, and gives them loads of love and attention while they are away from their family. Her home is always clean, the backyard accessible, and plenty of toys and pup sleeping spots. We highly, highly, recommend Tiffany! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We feel so fortunate that Lisa was available to care for our pup . Lisa asked thoughtful questions and was easy to work with. Although we had a meet and greet beforehand, I was surprised at how relaxed Shasta was when I actually dropped him off to stay. And, when it came time to pick up Shasta, he seemed right at home--there was no dashing to the door to make his getaway! I highly recommend Lisa, she provides a safe and comfortable environment for her pet guests, and peace of mind for us humans.
Khayl is wonderful to work with and took such good care of my boys! My son-in-law recommended her to me and now I know why. Khayl has been so accommodating, friendly and gave us plenty of updates and videos of them while we were gone. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Khayl!
Melissa and her family did such a good job taking care of Luna for a LONG 17 days! Luna is high energy and needed a place to feel safe but also a home away from home, and Melisaa provided that. She sent daily photos of Luna. Luna loved playing with her sons and Wishbone, the family dog. We will use Melissa again and recommend you give her a try!
John is a saint and Remy loves him so much. This was Remy’s first stay at John’s new location and it went extremely well. John kept him safe on all drives and walks. He even gave him a bath. We are truly lucky to have John in our lives and plan to keep working with him (Remy can’t wait to go back).
Lisa went above and beyond!! She always gives our girl the best experiences. She was kind enough to keep Sopa for extra time to accommodate our needs. She is reliable, friendly, communicative, responsible, and timely. She’s our go-to every time! We love Lisa! Sopa especially loves her stays with her!

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 Fernwood 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 Fernwood.
<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 Fernwood 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.
