“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Vaishali has helped Sunka learn to walk with her harness and NOT pull! She loves being with their family. Vaishali has been very flexible with our planning and timing. Today we had unplanned traffic problems that made our trip later than we head home.”
“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.:)”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“I appreciated the thoughtful updates on how our pup was doing and the photos she sent throughout his stay. He seemed very well-loved and cared for. Thank you, Angela!”
“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!”
“Carmen is amazing! She took care of my 3 month old puppy for four days while my family was out of town and he was happy and tired when we picked him up. I can tell that she kept working on his potty training and mouthiness, as he had no accidents since he came home and is not nipping as much. I will definitely use her service again!”
“Kathy is amazing!!! My boys absolutely LOVED their time with Kathy and her lovely family. It was evident how much they genuinely cared for them and each other with how welcoming they were during the first meet. Their uniquely shaped house is also awesome!! Very clean, warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. Plenty of places for my boys to play around and snuggle to. Yard was clean, well kept, and the boys loved playing in her backyard! Kathy was also so great at sending updates, sending both pictures and video clips. We feel so fortunate to have found them, it can be so hard to find the right person/family that you feel you can trust with your pups right off the bat. Forever grateful for the awesome stay and will 200% have them stay with her again!!!!”
“This is my first time using Rover.com. I am really grateful to find Krystle!! She was amazing in taking care of our GSDmix for the weekend!! So many fun pictures were sent, giving us peace of mind while away. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“First time using Rover. Dino and Gary were wonderful and kept use informed of how their stay was going. Lucy and Charlie were happy and well looked after. I will definitely use them again”
“Iggy is always in such good hands with Nicole! We love being able to be gone for multiple days and know that our dog is having fun and being taken care of. Nicole is amazing!”
“Elaine and her family were awesome at caring for our 16 year old dachshund, Harley. She is quick to communicate and provided daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!”
“Our dog’s first stay with Linda went really well! She took time to ask questions to make sure it was a good fit for our dog and everyone involved. Great communication and expectations were clear. We look forward to more visits in the future.”
About: I have had small dogs my entire life and recently lost my beloved fur baby after 18 wonderful years together. Welcome all ages. I have extensive experience providing the extra love, patience, and care that older dogs need, including managing the challenges that come with aging. All of my dogs have lived beyond 15 years old, and I have personally experienced the many stages of senior care—from mobility changes and special routines to simply providing comfort, companionship, and a safe, loving environment. I understand that senior dogs require extra attention, and I treat every dog as a cherished member of the family. I currently work full time from home, which allows me to provide constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. Your beloved family member would never be left alone and would receive the same love, patience, and comfort that I have always given my own dogs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. While I do not have a fenced yard, I provide a safe and supervised environment at all times. Your dog would always have my full attention and would either be right by my side or safely on a leash when outside. Their safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priority.
“Javelin was fantastic! She took great care of my rescue with behavioral issues while I visited family in Alaska. It was so nice to come back and see my pooch completely at ease in her care. 100% would reccomend!”
“Our fur goblin Vivi had a fabulous stay with Kara and her pup Doc! Vivi is an energetic gal who loves play and walks, and had a good time with the toy basket at Kara’s place. We appreciated Kara’s updates, photos, and even a video of Vivi and Doc playing together. We felt very comfortable leaving Vivi in Kara’s care.”
“Dakota is very experienced with working dogs. She provided my dog with lots of exercise, and was very communicative with questions to make my dogs stay comfortable, and in answering any questions I had. Highly recommend!”

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!

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 Fortson home-away-from-home, 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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.
