“We couldn’t be happier with Lindsey and Leland’s care. They sent us a daily picture update and took our dog Maggie on lots of walks. It was evident that they enjoyed spending time with our dog. We will definitely use them again for future trips.”
“Timber stayed with ashley for 9 days and I got so many pictures he had the best time! He came home very tired from over a week of fun and a house full of love. Timber will definitely be returning!”
“My 2 dogs were very happy there and came home and just as they left they spent a week there with Rebecca. She is very kind and loves all the animals. Highly recommend her! I will be using her again! Thank you so much for reliving the stress of leaving.”
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
“Tally had a great time with Mary and her family! Mary and her daughter came to the gate to greet us for drop off and pick up, and we got picture updates every day of Tally’s stay. Definitely recommended.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I have 19 years of pet experience. We have a small farm. I’ve also helped my mom on rover for the past few months. I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.
“Crystal was awesome and we felt so comfortable leaving our dog Ozzie with her and her family! Ozzie got lots of socialization and exercise on their property and came home a very worn out puppy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
“Heidi was amazing! My girl settled right in and made herself at home on the couch after one day. I was hesitant to leave my baby with someone I didn’t know but Heidi went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. When Nova was with her, I received daily updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Heidi to watch Nova again next year for the family trip to Montana!”
“Amanda was great with our sweet shih tzu! She was prompt with getting back to us and always kept us updated on our pup while we were away. She was even freshly bathed when we picked her up. I highly recommend Amanda!”
About: I grew up with a menagerie of animals, including lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I spent many years fostering dogs and volunteering with dog adoptions for the ASPCA. While I’m new to Rover, my friends and family have counted on me for years to dog sit, train, dog walk, etc. their furry family members. I am very active and your pup will get long morning walks, hikes, and lots of exercise! I have a large fenced in yard as well. Animals bring me so much joy, and I couldn't imagine a life without them :) I have one dog who has a moderate activity level. Every morning we take a long (at least an hour) walk before I leave for work. I currently work Monday-Thursday but am available to pop home for potty breaks if your dog is boarded with me. Friday-Sunday I am around at home and take dogs with me for walks or hikes on those days. If your dog is a couch potato, that works too :) I have a warm and welcoming dog-friendly home. They'll find lots of stuffies and soft & cozy places to land. Your dog will get lots of pets and cuddles but I also give them space to rest and get settled in. My dog loves to play with other dogs and I have a large fenced in yard as well for playtime!
“I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Eileen and Jeff. They took such great care of Oliver and sent multiple photos and updates each day. I was really stressed about leaving him at first, but seeing that he was getting to snuggle and play and go for car rides made it so much easier to enjoy my vacation. You can tell they really love what they do and have a gift for working with different temperaments and health issues. I feel like we hit the dog sitter jackpot and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with anyone, but Heidi not only made me feel comfortable leaving him with her, she updated me with photos and videos while I was away. It was so nice to see my little guy happy and enjoying his time with play, food, and sleeping. Thank you Heidi! Super Rock Star!”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Wade was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He provided lots of updates and pictures everyday. He seemed to really care about our dog and she didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up! Your dog will get plenty of love, attention and exercise if you book with Wade. I’d highly recommend him. If we ever come back to Seattle, we definitely hope to book with him again. Thank you, Wade!”
“Kim and David were incredible pet sitters for our dog, Cookie! They instantly put us at ease and treated Cookie with utmost care and attention. When we returned, Cookie was happy and well-cared for, and it was evident that she had been in excellent hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking loving and trustworthy pet sitters!”
About: Hi, my name is Jackie and I have always had animals in my home, including living in an in-home dog daycare and have loved every minute of it! I've spent the last few years dog and cat sitting, younger and older dogs, staying overnight and getting to know the families really well. I can provide many references, from dog walking to taking care of fur babies for a few days at a time! I work full time but typically have a schedule set a few weeks ahead so I'm happy to carve in times that work best for you and give you an idea of what my week looks like! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My guarantee to you is that you will always be kept updated, your pets day will always be a little bit better after our visit and your babies will be treated with the same love my own get ❤️ I'm fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule to accomodate for you and your family! I'm happy to move things around to make your hours work 😊 *Please note, I am happy to accommodate further travel times, but a $6 travel charge will be included for homes beyond a 5 mile radius! I am very aware of my surroundings and am careful to never put my animals or yours into a potentially dangerous situation. I'm happy to go over safety plans and expectations with you!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garwood
Tammy was very good with our dogs. It was really important to us that we had somebody at home with them and that they were able to be a part of the family indoors, including sleeping, like they are with us. Tammy was very good at sending pictures and updates as well.

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 Garwood 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 Garwood.
<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 Garwood 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 ID 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.
