“James is very easy to work with. He provided great care to my girl with frequent updates. There’s no better peace of mind than knowing your fur baby is in good hands while you’re away.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for four years and absolutely love caring for dogs. Having two dogs of my own has taught me how important it is to give pets plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in that position myself. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a stay at home wife, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to care for your pup. I’m available for boarding, playtime, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I can also keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love having company. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your instructions, routines, and any special needs your dog may have.
“I highly recommend Stacey for outstanding care! Our dog has stayed with her multiple times and she takes wonderful care and is very thoughtful to send updates and photos! Our dog just loves staying at her house!”
“Caren was wonderful with our pups! We could tell they immediately felt comfortable after our meet and greet. They got along great with her pup, Mia as well! They were so happy and so tired when we picked them up. We would definitely recommend Caren for your pups needs!”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Cooper had another great stay with Maria!! Maria is heaven sent and is the only one we trust to watch Cooper! Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”
“Lena and her family took great care of our dog Stitch while we were out of town for 8 days. She sent daily pics and updates and was very responsive and communicative. It was like Stitch was on her own little vaca!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”
“Alex was fantastic with our dog Onyx. We received regular updates, and Onyx and Alex's dog got along great. They managed integrating Onyx with their dog very well and didn't rush anything allowing them to establish a good relationship. They have a very nice, quiet space and are available with your pet the majority of the time if not constantly. I would definitely recommend Alex to any friend that needed a dog watched.”
“Cherokee was awesome, she sent us timely updates and pics. Toto was loved and pampered, definitely will be my go to person anytime i need to board Toto!!! Highly recommend her ?”
“We had a wonderful experience with Miriam! She was incredibly sweet and took great care of Fiona while we were out of town for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and helped us know Fiona was doing well. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and attention to Fiona's needs. We'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Alora gave me a scare and stole chicken bones from the trash right before we were going to drop her off with Kirsten! We double and triple checked Alora wasnt going to need a vet visit, and Kirsten kindly accommodated a slightly later dropoff & some fasting + bland food requests the next day from the vet. That's thankfully as complicated as it got and Alora's stay was uneventful, but Kirsten kept this pet parent happy that Alora was in good hands and I was across the country for a few days 🙂 can't thank her enough.”
“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
“Cathleen was so sweet and my dogs loved her yard and all the outside time. She sent pictures and was great at getting back to me quickly whenever I messaged her. She keeps the big and little dogs separated, which is nice for my shy dog. I would definitely use her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gorst
We love Tiffany. We never go on vacation unless she is available. She sends pictures of my pups having fun, messages how they are doing, and gives them loads of love and attention while they are away from their family. Her home is always clean, the backyard accessible, and plenty of toys and pup sleeping spots. We highly, highly, recommend Tiffany! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We feel so fortunate that Lisa was available to care for our pup . Lisa asked thoughtful questions and was easy to work with. Although we had a meet and greet beforehand, I was surprised at how relaxed Shasta was when I actually dropped him off to stay. And, when it came time to pick up Shasta, he seemed right at home--there was no dashing to the door to make his getaway! I highly recommend Lisa, she provides a safe and comfortable environment for her pet guests, and peace of mind for us humans.
Autumn did an awesome job watching our dog. She was super communicative and showed great care in his well-being. She was very flexible with our plans, especially over the holiday and we felt really good about having our dog be with her while we were traveling. Would be super thrilled to have him stay with her again.

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 Gorst 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 Gorst.
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.
You and your Gorst 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.
