About: I treat each pup like part of the family—whether that means sticking closely to your dog’s routine, giving extra cuddles, or providing gentle care for seniors or high-energy playtime for puppies. My home is safe, calm, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax or play. I send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving hands. As a retiree, pet care is truly a part of my everyday life—and something I genuinely enjoy. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My daily routine is built around keeping dogs happy and comfortable, from morning walks and playtime to relaxed afternoons and evening cuddles. I keep a calm, quiet home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed, and I’m always available for feeding, potty breaks, or just spending quality time with them. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like one of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and bedtime routines—to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, supervised playtime, and cozy naps. I give each dog plenty of personal attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or just offering a warm lap to curl up on. If your dog needs medication, special meals, or extra care (like for puppies or seniors), I handle it all with patience and attention to detail. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.
About: My sister had a dog before she moved to Cali, I would help walk, feed, wash, and play with her. I used to take care of family pets while they were on vacation and sit for a mutual friends. I work in office on Mondays and Fridays and work from home on Tuesday through Thursday. Free to take dogs on long walks and have playtime! I am great at following walking and feeding instructions and noticing potty cues if before normal walk times. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate to your pets needs!
“Sara is great! She was very accommodating when we were late to pick up our dog and makes drop-offs/pick-ups stress free, easy and quick. Canela had a blast and came back home happy and tired. Sara sent us photos and videos, which were a joy to see. We absolutely recommend her!”
“Trisha was amazing from the very start. She was very responsive with all my questions and accommodated our request for a meet and greet. Our dog Rosie had a great time playing and socializing with the other dogs in her care. Trisha sent multiple pictures and updates of Rosie through out the day. We are very happy with the care she provided our little Rosie!”
“Tania was amazing with our dog and puppy! You can tell from all of the pictures that our dogs loved her and had a lot of fun in her care. She was always on top of communication and took a ton of photos which we always appreciate. We look forward to using her service again soon.”
“Our young husky mix loved racing other dogs in Adrienne's fenced pasture. And Adrienne was very helpful when I could not find our reservation on Rover We enjoyed the 10 photos, and could see that Thea's need for active canine companions l was well met.”
“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
“Thanks for the great pics. Penny looks so content. When I dropped her off this morning, Penny went right up to Richard and didn’t try to pull away to come with me as she has done in the past. She must really like Marina and Richard and I am so happy to have found someone I can trust when I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again!”
“Emma enjoyed her day with Elizabeth and her cavie buddies as evidenced by the Elizabeth’s photos . Emma was worn out after a fun day of playing in the yard and house and slept extra hard and long. Emma will be back again.”
“Chionne Christine was amazing! I was scared to have my dog with someone For the first time I didn’t know. Our Meet and greet put me at ease. Her family was lovely her doggy spaces are amazing. Indoor and out door play space. Plenty of pics and a great communicator. Maple came home tired and happy. She actually didn’t want to leave. She came home with a super cute fall scarf. What an awesome place for dogs to play. Definitely will be booking CC again.”
About: Your small dog wont just be watched - they'll be welcomed into a real home with teens, another dog, and a calm old cat who has seen it all. Your baby will be part of our normal household life... car pools, walks & lots of snuggles. As a stay-at-home mom to two teens, a Maltese poodle, and a cuddly old cat, pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. Your dog will be treated like part of the family — coming along on errands, joining us for walks, and even tagging along while I shuttle my teens to their activities. They’ll settle right in as one of our own. I am very active & walk/run daily! I would love to bring your pup along to explore all the things. My home has a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe space to play and roam. I have a friendly Maltese poodle who’s used to new company (she even goes to work with her dad a couple days a week), and an unfazed old tomcat who’s seen it all and takes new dogs in stride.
“Marcola has been great with my dog!! She is knowledgeable about dog behavior which is reassuring. Thor is now comfortable with me leaving him with his “doggy-sitter.” I will continue to book Marcola!!”

“Brandon was easy-going, very responsive and took wonderful care of my large and super-active Lab! He sent me nice photos during the day and Atlas was tired and happy when I picked him up. I'd definitely go to Brandon again when in the Seattle area.”
“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kent
A year has passed since Bella started going to Lans, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the way he cares for her. The moment we arrive at his house, she jumps out of the car and runs straight to him, tail wagging, so excited to see him. That kind of happiness says everything. I couldn’t ask for a better place or person to look after her.
Chionne Christine was amazing! I was scared to have my dog with someone For the first time I didn’t know. Our Meet and greet put me at ease. Her family was lovely her doggy spaces are amazing. Indoor and out door play space. Plenty of pics and a great communicator. Maple came home tired and happy. She actually didn’t want to leave. She came home with a super cute fall scarf.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Kent commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
