“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Bethany and her family are wonderful! Our two dogs stayed with them for a week and enjoyed lots of walks and snuggles. Bethany was fast to share updates throughout our dogs' stay. We are happy to have found a loving family for our dogs to spend time with ❤️.”
“Angela is the best! I have used her a few times and I always know my dog is well cared for and having a great time. She is dependable and wonderful with dogs! I’m so glad I found her. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know! Thank you Angela!”
“Our dog was well cared for and had fun while we were away. Brit made everything easy for us and helped make us feel comfortable leaving our dog for the first time. We will happily reach out again the next time it’s needed.”
“Victor took care of my 4-month-old Labrador puppy, Ginger, for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Ginger is still very young—she isn’t fully potty trained or fully trained in general—so caring for her is truly a full-time job. Victor showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication throughout. Ginger even ripped some of his dog’s toys, and he never once complained. He handled every challenge with understanding and care, and Ginger was clearly happy and well looked after. I’m extremely thankful to Victor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“I am so happy we booked with Betdena. She gave our dog tank so much love and care even though he was hurt and and limping before we had to leave him she took extra good care of him, though I am a little jealous because he looked so happy at her house. I just hope he doesn’t mind coming home.:)”
“Great sitter. Cared well for Marley during his stay. Ann provided regular updates and with pictures. Took care of his bruised paw and informed us about it as soon as he bruised it. Appreciate the care provided to Marlay. Thank you!”
“Sheri was great! They responded fast and sent updates throughout the day. Prior plans fell through so it was kind of last minute and they were fantastic with both my dogs.”
“Bridget and Lou were so wonderful boarding my dog. They sent pictures and updates so we knew he was in good hands. He is normally glued to me, but when we went to pick him up he was lingering with them and ran back for one more round of pets before jumping in the car. Great people and obvious dog lovers!”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“Morgan is absolutely wonderful. Not only did we do a meet and greet she send pictures and updates on my Ryder 🙂 . We were worried about how he would do as this was his first time being left. Morgan made sure he was comfortable and took him hiking and on walked. Definitely recommend and booking again.”
“Linda takes wonderful care of our furbaby! She is very attentive, gives her plenty of exercise, and treats our pup as if she is her own. We look forward to booking with Linda again.”
“Kristen and family was a blessing in the skies. We were leaving for a week long trip and our usual family was unavailable to watch Bingo. So we went with Kristen. We are glade we did. She was responsive and sent plenty of updates of walks, eating, and fun. It made us feel at ease seeing that Bingo was being well taken cared of, loved, and having a good time. We will definitely be adding Kristen to our list of options. Thank you for everything Kristen and family!”
“Jennifer was great with my dog, Cooper. He had a great time and slept for hours after he got home...a good sign of a good play :) We were gone for a week and I continually received pictures and videos of Cooper playing and having fun. She is an obvious dog lover and takes very good care of them. I would definitely recommend Jennifer and would use her again in the future.”
“April was great! I’m so happy to have found her. She had great communication and sent lots of pictures. Moose got lots of exercise and play time and came home happy. Would definitely recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fortson
Mylien and her husband were absolutely awesome! They took Marshmello into their home and for three days, he was part of their family. They played with him, took him for walks, and a ride in their car. They sent photos, short videos and messages about how he was doing. We will definately use their service again. They were a tremendous mindset worry release for my wife and I as we were away for a long weekend for a wedding.
Mylien and her husband were such a blessing to Joy. They took her for walks, played fetch and gave her lots of snuggles. Joy isn't allowed in our bed or on our couch at home, so I know she was in heaven when she got to snuggle up on the couch and bed with Mylien. Mylien sent daily updates with pictures of Joy having a great time with a new puppy friend, finding new balls to play, and laid out exhausted sleeping. I am grateful for her great communication and flexibility. Thank you for taking such great care of Joy!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Fortson 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 Fortson 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 Fortson.
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 Fortson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Fortson 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.
