“Hosts were great! Very easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent so many cute pictures of my dog playing with theirs while I was away on vacation. Will 100% book with them again in the future.”
“Natalie did a wonderful job! I have an old dog who doesn’t do great with new things and she was very patient with him. Her dogs were great with him as well. I’m very happy with how everything went and will definitely use Natalie again!”
“Aimee was fantastic with our dogs. She booked them last minute when our other plans fell through. Since it was our first time boarding our dogs, it was a bit nerve-wracking, but Aimee made the experience smooth and comfortable. She sent us daily updates and pictures. We’ll definitely book with her again and recommend her to our friends and family!”
“We highly recommend Mekena and if we ever need someone to dog sit again we will definitely be coming back! Mekena took great care of our senior dog! She was attentive to all his medical needs and grooming.She sent pictures and updates which was really appreciated! I would give more stars if I could!”
“Mayra was very accommodating and made my anxious and shy puppy feel comfortable. I loved receiving the updates from her as it gave me peace of mind. I sure will be booking with her if i ever need care for my pup in the future. Thank you!”
“Ally is absolutely amazing! I had to take my dog to the emergency vet the week before I dropped him off for boarding and Ally was fantastic managing his needs from giving pills and monitoring wounds to keeping me updated.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I could remember. I currently have three dogs and they always enjoy having another friend come over to hang out with! I work full time Monday through Thursday but am flexible with being able to work from home on specific days. Our weekends are spent at home spending time in the yard or going on walks in our local neighborhood parks. I have a fenced yard that holds a garden and chicken coop that gives our dogs a great spot for new smells. Dogs are all welcome to stay inside if that is their preference and we are able to have them in their crate if preferred.
“Lara took such wonderful care of our old girl, Dixie! She was incredibly attentive, patient, and loving with her, and made Dixie feel right at home. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was comfortable, happy, and being so well cared for while we were away. We’re so thankful for Lara and would absolutely trust her with Dixie again!”
About: I have one dog, Luna, and I have experience taking care of her, also other dogs I have watched from my siblings Rover. I am caring and kind. I have plenty of time for it. Right now I am at home transferring out of doing a church mission. I am excited to start pet sitting! I treat them like I would my own dog Luna, and I respect them and make sure their needs are taken care of. I make sure they are safe as well.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper! She and her kids loved on him, played with him, and took him on walks during his 4-night stay. It was so comforting knowing he was being treated like part of the family. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup. We highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“Kaila was responsive to a last minute booking request for the following day and communicated quickly and frequently. Havi stayed for a night and had a great time socializing with Kaila's dogs and playing with their toys. We received lots of pictures and updates! Kaila clearly loves her pets and makes sure visiting pets are welcome and cared for. When Havi was being picky about breakfast Kaila hand-fed her to get her started. Kaila was honest about Havi slipping out the front door, but they immediately got her back inside. She also took the time to introduce us and Havi to her dogs one by one and show us her home, ask questions about Havi, etc. Havi was conked out when she came home and in good spirits!”
About: I’ve helped take care of family and friends pets all the time since I was younger. Love animals and would be excited to help others with their fur friends and family! I work full time from 7:30-4:30 but can take an hour lunch anywhere between 11-1. I can use my lunch or any time after work or before work to take care of animals. I respect all house rules and take time to play and keep company with any fur babies. I have two kittens to keep any fur animals company. They’re so friendly and chatty!
“Gina is a godsend! We have two very attached girls that are high energy and picky, and Gina's large fenced property and willingness to treat our girls as if they were her own are the precise reasons we would recommend her to anyone and will continue to only use her when we need someone trustworthy to take care of our girls while we are away. Gina's large fully fenced grassy yard was our dogs favorite, and she even offered toys, beds and personalized hands-on medication and hand feeding when either health or nerves were affecting our girls. They know here by name and aren't even nervous to go with her now, as they used to be when we used local kenneling facilities. We are so glad to have found her. Thanks for everything!”
About: I have worked with dogs for over 6 years and I have owned 3 great dogs. I love walking and taking care of animals. I work with dogs currently so this helps with my knowledge of them. I am very easy going and very flexible. I work nights but I have all the time in the world on my weekends which fluctuates. I am very flexible on time and days so I can easily change times and days if you need it. I have a very friendly black lab and he loves animals. I have a 2 acre yard for dogs to play in and I have a very good walking area for dogs that is good for training and good for socializing.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
99% of sitters in Humorist can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Humorist 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 Humorist.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Humorist. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Humorist 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
