“Barbara is great! Outstanding communication from start to finish. And most importantly, our quirky little Molly seemed immediately at home. She can be unpredictable in her eating and eliminating habits, and also needs a daily medication but Barbara was understanding, patient and took it all in stride and I was fully confident that Molly was in good hands and we could enjoy our pet free holiday. I highly recommend her and she will be our first choice to care for Molly.”
“Ms. Cynthia was very attentive to Uno. She was very good at keeping us updated with his activities and took daily photos of him. She made sure he was comfortable and safe knowing he's a senior dog with some with growing blindness especially with other dogs. We felt at ease and that he was in good hands as we were away.”
“Alisha, Joshua, and family took wonderful care of our dog while our family was out of town for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her for so long but our nerves were immediately calmed when we met them and, further, received regular updates with sweet photos of our dog looking right at home with them. Alisha even went above and beyond and drove her home while we were navigating customs, long term parking shuttles, and the ferry home after a very long travel day coming from Southeast Asia. We had a happy, well cared for dog waiting for us when we arrived. Highly recommend this lovely family and will definitely reach out again for any future trips we need to take without our scruffy gal ❤️”
“We left our five year old English Cream Golden Retriever (Jake) with Matt and Sander for a week while we were travelling. Prior to our trip we did a meet and greet so that all parties would feel comfortable when it came time for our trip. We were very impressed with the thought and care that were put into planning a space that would allow visiting dogs to feel comfortable and as close to home as possible. The property is spacious with a fenced area for the dogs to play or just hang out. Inside the home the dogs are free to wander, snooze or play with the resident golden retriever (Artie). One of the many things that we really appreciated was knowing that Jake would have at least one dog companion during his stay. We also appreciated Matt and Sander's policy to limit the number of dogs staying at any one time. This allows the dogs to get the proper attention during their stay. Matt and Sander's son Logan loved playing with Jake and Jake can't get enough kid companionship so this was a real bonus. The photos of Jake that we received during our trip assured us that Jake was enjoying his time at doggy camp. We look forward to the feeling of comfort the next time we leave Jake with Matt, Sander, Logan and Artie! Many thanks to all of you! Tim and Kim”
“Angela and her family were the most amazing hosts for our adventure cat. They gave him all that he needed, and more, to make him feel at home. We are truly grateful for their care for our fur baby. Could not recommend more highly.”
“So grateful we found Deidre! I don’t love having to leave behind my boy Eddie but Deidre made it so easy! She is a total dog lover which you can feel upon meeting her and very caring. Eddie was loved and happy while I was away, he enjoyed the beach, playing with toys and long naps. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy. Deidre will definitely be my go-to dog sitter for future trips.”
“Pippen had a great time, thank you so much for the smooth communication and updates! Would highly recommend to other dog owners looking for care! Thank you Wan and family!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger and I feel so very lucky to have found Michael. He not only made me comfortable, he provided a wonderful environment for my dog. I'd go back in a second!”
“We felt so grateful and comfortable leaving our 110 lb “puppy” with Nicole and Cody!! Not everyone is comfortable with his very large and energetic puppy enthusiasm, but they handled him with loving understanding and firmness - which he needs. He had so much fun with all his new buddies - and came home happy and exhausted. Thank you!”
“It seems like Maggie had a great time staying with ShuShu and her family! They took her on lots of walks even with the wet weather we've been having. Thanks for taking care of our fur monster!”
“Kyah was phenomenal. Willow took to her immediately and they quickly became great friends. She took her for walks every day and even took her to the dog park. We received photos and/or videos every single day. Willow will stay with her any time we need her boarded. Thank you Kyah for making her week special!!”
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.
“Liz, her family, and pups AWESOME!! Milo was instantly at home with them and had the best time. She sent photo updates and communicated proactively—Milo can’t wait to stay again!”
“Brigitte was an absolute blessing to our family as we were in need of a long stay sitter for our Great Dane puppy. She was so kind and loving to our pup and was very easy to work with as we made arrangements. She gave our dog ample daily exercise, communicated with us daily throughout the stay, and managed our pup very well. Also, her dog is super sweet and we felt very confident that our dog would have a fun playmate. I would definitely recommend Brigitte to anyone and we plan to return to her again in the future. Thanks!”
“Carolyn was referred to me by a friend who had a great experience with her and I couldn't have been more pleased! She was amazing with my girls and sent me pictures throughout their stay which I loved. Highly recommend her!”
“This was my very nervous 13-yr-old Yorkie's first time to stay away from home. We checked out a couple of boarding places and considered everyone we could think of but my search ended the moment I met with Nayumi. I knew my dog would be fine with her. She provided a comfortable environment for my old dog who doesn't do well in a busy place. My main concern was her cat but the cat was smart enough to keep away from the guest dog. I will definitely ask Nayumi again and recommend her to anyone who needs a good mature dog sitter. ”
“Tanya has been so sweet and sending regular photos and update. Punhu was well taken care of and came home even with a bath already. Will recomand Tanya and will book again for sure.”
“Jael was a great Rover find and we will definitely book her for future stays! We received regular updates and photos while we were gone. Gus got lots of attention from Jael and her family (as seen in photos). We are happy to have found a new Rover home for Gus. Thank you Jael and family!”

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 Gardiner 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 Gardiner 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 Gardiner.
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 Gardiner. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Gardiner 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.
