“Dani was great. It is never easy leaving your dog somewhere new, and Dani made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We will definitely use her in the future. Thanks for taking care of Bailey!!”
“Excellent Experience! Loved all the photos and updates Anita sent throughout the week. The love, care and compassion Anita has for animals shines through! We call it going to camp!”
“Gae and her husband Steve were absolutely amazing with our pets, Romero (dog) and Luna (cat). As soon as we walked in the door, our sensitive little rescue dog gravitated towards them immediately. My husband and I were completely thrilled, and a little shocked to be honest, at how easily Romero transitioned into their care. I think he could tell these were loving and gentle souls and he was safe. Luna was also super comfortable in their home and spent her time watching nature from the top porch. We went on vacation without any worries and that was a comforting feeling for us. When you meet Gae and her husband, you instantly know these are great people. I would recommend Gae as a pet sitter and will definitely reach out if we need pet care 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 ! ❤️”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“My pup was well taken care of by this amazing family. My pup seemed to have a better vacation than I did with all the fun stuff they got to do. I also received tons of pictures and videos. Thanks for everything.”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“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!”
“Meredith was fantastic with Delta and gave her all the extra attention my very anxious girl needed during her stay. She understands dog needs, incorporated a slow and safe introduction to the other dogs present, and was quick to respond to any messages. Delta made a few friends, enjoyed playing with the other pups, and was exhausted by the time she was picked up. Will absolutely be boarding with Meredith in the near future.”
“Kayle was great with my dog Rocky! She sent photos every day and I could tell he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend her as a sitter. I will be asking her to petsit for me in the future!”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Noelle is absolutely fantastic! My dog daughter loves spending time with her and her dogs. Blaze comes back so happy and so cute with the services I have gotten for her. 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, 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 , 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.
