“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 ❤️”
“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“It was our first time leaving our newly adopted pup with a rover sitter and I’m so glad we went with Kyah! She’s been very understanding and accommodating and our dog felt it too. :) He quickly bonded to them and their pup, I got frequent updates, it was a very nice experience. The next stay is already booked. :)”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin and his partner, Kandice. Our French Bulldog, Bobo, is our child, and this was the first time we had left him since he suffered an IVDD flare earlier this year. Needless to say, we were incredibly nervous. Because of his recent health issues, he has a number of restrictions and special considerations to help prevent another IVDD flare, and Kevin and Kandice were so attentive and conscientious about following all of his care instructions. They immediately put us at ease and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, it was obvious that Bobo wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly had been very well cared for. As pet parents, that’s all you can hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. Kevin and Kandice are trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care they provided and will absolutely be using them again. In fact, if they’ll have us, we’d love for them to be our permanent dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our boy. We couldn’t recommend you more highly. ❤️🐾”
“Celia was great to work with, very responsive and happy to do a meet and greet beforehand, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dog’s routine and how willing she was to stick to it closely. It made a big difference knowing my dog was in caring and capable hands.”
“Ruslana did a wonderful job with our little Bear. He looked so happy and contented in all the pictures that she sent to us and we really appreciated her active care of him. Ruslana went above and beyond with Bear’s care. We had wanted Bear to be all cleaned up for Ruslana, so we had him bathed and groomed before dropping him off. The Groomer had shaved Bear’s face too closely and had scraped his skin. Ruslana was attentive to his needs and notified us very quickly. She proposed getting a cone to keep him from scratching so he could heal up. After talking this thru, she ordered the cone and cared for all his needs. We are extremely happy with all Ruslana did for our BearBear and would give her our highest possible recommendation. Sally and Doug Thimm 801-699-7507”
“I was great to see Mimi excited to see Brenda on our most recent drop off. We appreciate Brenda's flexibility and her attention to detail. Mimi has a warm, safe place to go, which means a lot to us. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“Maria is FANTASTIC. If you are looking for the best Pet Sitter in Seattle, you found her. Stop looking. Maria is a true dog lover. We had left our furry child with her for 16 days and we received updates, photos and videos everyday. We felt connected. We felt her love for our pup everyday. It honestly made our vacation better knowing that Wrigley was well taken care off. From our initial meet n greet to drop off and pick up, all interactions with Maria were a 10/10. We will be using her services FOREVER.”
“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!”
“Maria was amazing! From the start she was kind and thoughtful about every aspect of Scarlett’s stay. She was very communicative during the stay and went above and beyond to make Scarlett comfortable. I would happy to work with her again!”
“I feel so secure with Charmaine watching my two small dogs. They both benefit from the doggie time and being around her family. She always provides the cutest photos too! My little guy tends to have tears on his face but he comes home with clean eyes and no boogies, which is a very good sign! I’m so grateful we found Charmaine!!!”
“Marden was fantastic!!! Lots of updates with photos, which was greatly appreciated!! He was responsive to us and attentive to our girl. We couldn't ask for more!! Thank you so much Marden! We'll be in touch next time we need a place for Emma while we are out. In the meantime, we'll spread the word about how great you are!”
“I couldn’t recommend Mengyuan highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Mengyuan sent regular updates and adorable photos, which kept me completely at ease. She even cooked beef for my dog! Coco came home happy, healthy, and clearly bonded to them—which says a lot, as she can be a bit shy with new people. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thorough to care for your pup, look no further! I’ll definitely be booking with Mengyuan again.”
“Samantha was totally great with Fergus and the pups played so well together- tons of pictures and updates. We’re looking forward to our next stay with Samantha and team! ❤️”

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.
