“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Larissa and her family took great care of our little Wesley. She stayed in touch with pictures.

We'll definitely bring Wesley back to stay with Larissa whenever we're out of town.”

“Morgan is great, we couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Our dog stayed with her while we were in Hawaii for a week. Ruby came home happy and even ate all her food which she usually doesn’t do when we have to leave her behind, clearly our dog was right at home with Morgan. We are definitely hoping to use Morgan in the future anytime we can’t take our dog with us. Thank you!”

“Tessa had so much fun playing with her new doggie friends and running the backyard! Kathy sent updates with pictures during her stay, which were much appreciated! We met with Kathy before her stay and were reassured that Tessa would be well cared for while we were gone. At no time during our trip were we concerned about Tessa. Thank you Kathy and Craig!”

“Ashley is wonderful! My pup had a great time, with lots of cuddles and play time! Ashley gave daily report card updates, with great photos! She was very communicative and responsive. I can tell my pup was well-cared for! Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Mariko took such great care of our dog, Cloud! We’re so grateful she took the time to make sure we felt comfortable before leaving since this was our first time boarding our dog. She made sure to keep us updated with tons of pictures and videos throughout his stay! We couldn’t have left him in better hands with Mariko and her family!”
“Qilian did a wonderful job caring for our two young dogs - an 8 month old and one year old. This was a new experience for them and I was put at ease as Qilian sent lots of daily photos and was very communicative. I always felt in the loop on how they were doing. Although a nervous dog-mom who missed her pups while I was away, every day I could look forward to seeing photos of them happily playing with other dogs, sleeping cozily, and munching on healthy snacks - it felt reassuring to know they were having fun, learning valuable social skills, and were in a safe, caring environment. Thank you, Qilian! I am glad to know I can have a trusted sitter to bring our pups back to next time we are in need.”
“Kathie was amazing and super responsive! My pup was well cared for and seemed to love being at her place as evidenced by the fun pics Kathie sent during her stay. Kathie's house was ideal for a dog that is used to having access to a doggie door. I am so thankful for Kathie and her family!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gig Harbor
Shannon was amazing! What a great person & dog sitter. My older dog Stella is relaxed but has a few habits, and I’m always a little particular with who she stays with in general. From the moment we met, I know she’d be in safe hands & Shannon often sent updates/photos. I could tell she was cared for as if she was their dog! Thank you Shannon & your lovely family for providing Stella a safe, loving home 🧡🐶

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
