“I highly recommend Alisha and Joshua. Our dog gets so excited to stay with them that when we get close to their house she goes nuts in the car. They provide excellent attentive care. Our dog loves the big backyard to play fetch and they throw the Chuck it for her. This is a wonderful family that any dog would be very happy to stay. We are so grateful to have have found them. Our dog is in the best possible hands with Alisha, Joshua and family. Thank you so very much for caring for our girl dog when we are away!”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent lots of videos and updates about my dog, Marble. Marble loved every minute of his stay. The moment he got home, he slept so soundly. Definitely recommend Kristina!”
“This is the second time Matt's watched my 2 dogs and he was great with them. He's very attentive about details and let me know when my elder dog had irritated an eye or was rubbing her ear a lot (totally normal for her). They seemed relaxed and happy when they came home.”
“Kyah was really great with my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos and my dogs warmed up to her quickly. I have one dog that can get nervous around larger dogs, but Kyah’s German shepherd is very sweet and respectful of my dog’s boundaries. Would definitely recommend!”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure our families fur babies felt loved and comfortable! We received wonderful updates during their time with Jennifer that made my heart and mind feel at ease. I will use Jennifer for any future boarding needs!”
“I think Reggie had a blast! He was a happy, tired camper when he came home. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being part of the family and going on all the walks and having multiple kids to play with!”
About: Why send your pet to a chaotic, crowded kennel when they can enjoy a peaceful, customized staycation? I intentionally limit my home boarding to a maximum of two dogs per day to ensure your fur baby gets 100% of my focus, care, and attention. All dog sizes are welcome here! As a dedicated, lifelong pet lover, I offer specialized care that larger boarding facilities simply cannot match. I am highly experienced in senior dog care and feel completely comfortable managing gentle, slow-paced routines, monitoring mobility, and administering oral or topical medications. On the flip side, if you have a high-energy puppy, I possess the immense patience required to maintain their potty-training schedules, reinforce positive behaviors, and provide safe socialization. Your pet will enjoy a cozy, safe home environment packed with: Endless TLC: Lots of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and dedicated playtime. Daily Adventures: Long, stimulating walks tailored entirely to your dog's energy level or age. Peace & Quiet: A calm, structured environment perfect for anxious or spoiled pets. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your baby is being treated like royalty! My daily routine is built entirely around the comfort and activity of my guests. Because I limit my home to just two dogs at a time, your pet becomes a member of the household, not just a visitor. My mornings always start with a long, brisk walk to burn off energy and get the day moving. Throughout the day, your pet is by my side—whether I’m working at home, reading, or relaxing, they get constant companionship and engagement. I don’t follow a 'kennel' schedule; I follow your pet's lead, ensuring they get their preferred nap times, play sessions, and the consistent, loving environment they are used to at home. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a gentle stroll or a playful pup ready for a game of fetch, their needs dictate my rhythm. I work right around the corner from the house, so am available all day! Because I exclusively offer boarding in my own home, your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I treat my home as a secure, low-stress sanctuary. For dogs, this means full freedom in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they are never left unattended for long periods and are treated like family. I also offer a spa-day touch: for a small additional fee, I am happy to give your pup a refreshing bath right before pick-up so they return home smelling clean and fresh! For cat guests who prefer peace and quiet, I provide a completely separate, dedicated room equipped with everything they need to feel safe and relaxed away from the pups. I am highly vigilant about maintaining separate feeding areas, monitoring group dynamics, and strictly following the specific care, medication, and dietary routines you provide. Your pet will have continuous supervision, structured play, and a cozy spot to sleep every single night.
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
“Francine is our go-to. There’s nothing I don’t love about how she communicates and cares for Grey. She doesn’t even live close anymore and we still reach out to her first. Thanks Francine for caring for G like she’s your own!!”
“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”
“Melissa took great care of Mac! He had a great time going on walks and cuddling up in the evenings. Melissa sent regular photos and I can see that he was spoiled with attention and good care! He was so comfortable with Melissa and family - I will definitely book with Melissa again!”
“SJ is truly the best. She takes better care of our fur babies then we do and they are relaxed and happy to vein her company. Feels like leaving them with a family member.”
“Our dog stayed with Sara for 10 days. She and her pup were a great match for us! Sara responded quickly to messages and Chevvy is as sweet as can be. Sara clearly loves the dogs she sits as much as she loves her own and we were grateful for that!”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“They were amazing with Celine and totally willing to take care of her senior dog needs. They were also very flexible with me when the trial I was working settled and I was able to come home early. Celine probably would’ve preferred to stay and sniff their amazing backyard! Absolutely will bring her back if they’ll have her :)”
“Debra is SUCH a sweetheart, Poppy loves her, her husband and all her toys/treats! She is a wonderful person to be around, and yes I would love to board with her again!❤️”
“Justine & Zak took amazing care of our Leo. They sent regular updates and pictures. They also made sure he was safe with the other dogs. Really appreciated their help with him for a weekend.”

Brianna was so sweet to our doggies! She sent frequent photos, and the dogs always seemed to be having such a good time with huge smiles on their faces! It was like they were on their own vacation themselves! They came home happy and tired and so well taken care of! We will definitely reach out to Brianna again when we need dog boarding.

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 Gilberton 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 Gilberton.
<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 Gilberton 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.
