“Bobbi is fantastic. She’s very friendly, communicates quickly, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing, including all the new friends he made. I would definitely recommend Bobbi and would happily book with her again!”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Latto, this past weekend! It was my first time being away from her, so naturally I was a little nervous, but Rebecca made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly very caring with animals. She kept me updated, took great care of Latto, and treated her like she was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. When I came back, everything was perfect and Latto was happy and well cared for. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with puppies, I highly recommend Rebecca. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“Ethan is great! I was very nervous leaving my little guy with him but he was confident and very prepared. He sent frequent photos and videos even though it was for one day. We will definitely be booking with him again!!”
“My dog loved his vacation with Dana and the family!! He was so comfortable he didn’t want to come home… not kidding! I am happy to know my dog has a new vacation spot when we are away for our travels.”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”
“Serenity appears to be very proactive in Kimchi need and care, I love the photos update and questions I can feel peace of mind when traveling under serenity care, serenity communication are strong definitely display a huge difference and comparison to other care providers. Her rates are reasonable price. If ever need a dog sitter I highly recommend Serenity”
“Fabulous experience! I was super worried about leaving my pup, as he is a bit submissive and can regress pretty quickly. Elizabeth was amazing with him, he quickly decided he liked her and seemed very comfortable in her house. Elizabeth kept me updated, sent me pictures and treated my guy just the way I do (super spoiled). He came home happy, tired and for the first time, I didn’t worry the whole time I was away. I can’t thank her enough, very positive experience!”
“Tobi is a 5 Star Rover Sitter. She has lovely fenced-in yard and pretty deck for pets to lounge. Her two doggies are laid back and welcoming. Tobi provided pictures and updates on how Lily (our diva dog) settled in during her stay. Tobi has a genuine caring and patient nature that I'm sure Lily appreciated. I highly recommend Tobi and her dog family.”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“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!”
“Jeannine is an absolute delight. She made me feel so safe and cared for boarding my new rescue dog while on a vacation. Solid, dog-centered home and yard and focused on your dogs individual needs. She even continued training with her, and sent pictures daily. I will be booking with her from here on out!”
“Haley was absolutely fantastic with my puppy Valentine! My pup’s just about nine months old, but her big puppy energy was no problem for Haley. Valentine came home super tired and super happy, and I was able to rest easy on my trip knowing she was in good hands!”
“Anita was really wonderful with our shih tzu Hunter. She gave him lots of individual attention and was careful to follow our instructions. She kept in contact with us frequently via text, sending status reports and candid pictures of him as he went about his day. She has several cats and two dogs and he did very well with all of them. It was helpful that during our initial meet-n-greet she introduced herself to him first outside her home. Then we went inside and she gave him ample time to spend in the environment with her pets. Once he came over for his actual stay he settled in quite nicely and had a great time. Anita was lovely to work with and we'd definitely send Hunter to her again.”
“Kristine is awesome, got stuck in a snow storm traveling back. Kristine was very understanding. I’m very grateful I could leave my mooch with someone so wonderful. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Kyley is AMAZING! She was so flexible with time and the possibility that I may need to add an extra day (due to travel issues). She sent photos and was very responsive to texts! I honestly won't go to another person and I have already re-booked her. Sad thing is, Gidget had so much fun... I'm afraid she won't want to come back with me (lol)! I trust Kyley, her home, and her ability to love my dog like I do!”
“Hayley provided a safe, calm environment for Diezel. He was able to explore and play. When I picked him up he wasn't stressed which told me that his first visit away from home and with Hayley was a success.”
“Highly recommended! Our Mochi had a great time with Sanmi and June. Sanmi treated Mochi like family, and sent pics to show us how Mochi was doing. She's very conveniently located in Lacey. We'll definitely ask her to keep Mochi again! Thank You so much.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lewis
Genuinely the best case scenario. This was my first time boarding my rowdy dog whos never been away from home before. I got tons of picture updates and she was evidently having a wonderful time. They played rougher with her, which she needs to actually get tired, and she was treated so sweetly. They were kind and communicative throughout. And very affordable pricing, which is so helpful. 100% only sitter we will be using moving forward, thank you Jasmine!
Serenity is the best at caring for your dog ! She's professional and very communicative, someone you can definitely trust and rely on. During our trip we also received picture update of our dog which we greatly appreciated and gave us a peace of mind knowing our dog is having a great time ! She's our go to sitter from now on.

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 Fort Lewis 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 Fort Lewis.
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 Fort Lewis 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.
