“We have an energetic husky girl. It difficult to trust anyone to watch her. Bailey and Kyle were great! Frequent updates were appreciated. Roslyn came home so tired and happy! We will use them in the future and recommend them to others! Thanks again!”
“Bobbi is the best sitter I have had! My dog fit in perfectly at her home and was comfortable to entire visit. Bobbi kept me updated and was very flexible with our situation. Will most definitely book with her anytime I need a sitter in the future!”
“Ethan did a wonderful job with my boy. He hadn’t been boarded on his own before and he had a great time! Ethan sent me updates with videos and photos each day. He was flexible with us picking up earlier than anticipated. Will definitely have him watch Enzo again!”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“This is the 2nd time we have left our pup with Jennifer. She is very easy to communicate with and sends pictures frequently. Our dog loves playing with her cocker spaniels. He makes himself right at home and Jennifer and her husband are always so sweet to him. Taking care of a 120 lb dog can be challenging, but they do an excellent job. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to others.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Lena and her family were great to my pups from meet and greet to their 3 night boarding! She was very understanding about their high energy personalities and she was flexible with us when we had to pick up later than originally planned. Updates and pictures were wonderful for my peace of mind. I could tell they had a fun packed weekend because as soon as they got home they curled up and snoozed away. I would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Kristin was great to work with and she was very reliable and happy to have our dog in her home. She was very responsive and worked with us on any special needs for our dog. Kristin sent us pictures during the visit and kept us updated and was great about flexible drop off and pick up. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Kana watched our thirteen week old puppy, who was very well taken care of and had a blast! Kana (and Brian) are very kind and attentive. The fenced yard is a wonderland for dogs. We’ll be back!”
“Kelly is amazing, I had some back and forth on whether I needed someone to watch my dog Sonny and she was incredibly patient and flexible with the whole process. She took amazing care of Sonny. I'm pretty picky about who he says with because he's kind of a handful. Very particular, needy dog sometimes and she was amazing with him. At the end of my trip my flight kept getting canceled and delayed and she was really patient and flexible yet again offering to keep him an extra night if needed which was really helpful while dealing with a stressful travel situation. I highly recommend Kelly, she is wonderful!”
“Second visit and there will definitely be more. I knew my pup was happy when he was so excited to be back and left a little present from his excitement! Loved the daily photos and communication. Made a work trip so much less stressful.”
“Melody was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s very sweet, patient, and clearly loves animals. She has two adorable, playful little Chihuahuas, and there’s plenty of space for the dogs to run around, play, and get comfortable. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup with her and would happily book with her again.”
“I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)”
“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”
“Our dog stayed with Dana for a few nights over the weekend and she was great. She was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog had a great time there and was definitely in good hands! We would definitely recommend Dana.”
“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”
“Brutus had an amazing time with Charis while I was out of town. She shared great photos and was a wonderful communicator. Thank you so much for caring for our puppers !”
“Jennifer was such a great host for my doggies. She made my first time with rover worth while and would love to book with her again for any vacations. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable of labs (I’m sure all other dogs). Since my dogs are young they could be a handful and with her experience she was able to do some training during their stay. I highly recommend her to first time rover users or just anyone looking for a skilled host with great professionalism and communication skills.”
“Wow!! Noelle was fantastic for my entire first experience ever having to have a dog sitter. Her home, her personality and the care she gave my sweet doggie was exceptional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I decided to get my dog a bath and Noelle's services are highly recommended. My dog Blaze was so fresh, cute, & happy when I picked her up. Thank you so much!!”

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 Home home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Home.
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 Home 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
