“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Kevin provided great care to our Chopper. She loved her visit so much that she was disappointed to come home. We always appreciate Kevin watching Anubis and now Chopper. Thank you for the great visit.”
“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”
“Kat was great! She made everything so easy. From the pick up and drop off service, to communicating with my family back home to coordinate, Kat made my experience seamless. I got pictures and videos every day. My dog Kobe had a blast. He got to run around the large property and explore. Thank you Kat. We will be calling you for our next vacation.”
“We feel so grateful to have found Desiree for our inaugural Rover booking. She was timely & responsive to our initial questions, open to meeting our KoKo prior, provided sweet updates (and even videos) while we were away, and seemed to really get to know our dog (not just “board” her). We’re grateful for her care & attention during Koko’s stay and we will come back to her in the future.”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
“This was our first time boarding with Amanda but it won't be the last. Griffy seemed comfortable and happy with their crew. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures! Thanks so much, Amanda!”
“Darby had wonderful attention to detail and quick communication. She lives a small farm and allowed our Daisy to "choose her own adventure", which of course our pup loved! I would definitely recommend and would trust Darby with Daisy again.”
“Oh my gosh! We are so excited that we found Lauren! Not only is she a trained vet tech, but she was so kind and loving to our senior doggie! Our dog was happy to see us but without that “get me outta here” panic look!. Plus she is super responsive, smart, thorough, responsible, thoughtful and just all around sweet. We hope she continues providing boarding for dogs for a long while! Thanks, Lauren!”
“Our two fur babies stayed with Rachel and her family for two weeks while we were away to care for a family member. Our dogs need a bit of special care with feeding and medicine. Rachel accommodated their needs and sent photos to me. They looked like they had a blast! We appreciate you, Rachel and family!!”
“Sheena took great care of our dog, who stayed with her for over two weeks! You can tell she genuinely cares. She sent daily photos with updates, which we really appreciated. Our dog came home healthy and happy. We will definitely book with her again!”
“We always love having Nugget stay with Lauren and Dalton! Nugget was so excited to be dropped off because he is now familiar with them. We always love getting pictures and videos for updates. They are truly amazing with him!”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“Jill is very kind and caring. Linus enjoyed his overnight with her & her family and their dog Josie. She sent photos with pup-dates so I knew Linus was relaxed & well cared for. I will definitely call on Jill when we need a sitter again.”

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 Galvin 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 Galvin.
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 Galvin 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.
