“Samm is a dog whisperer. Our Akita mix of 12 years never waded beyond her white socks into water. One week with Samm and she swam! Samm is communicative, clearly cares for dogs, and knows the best spots to take them on adventures. Your dog may decide they need to upgrade their parents by the end of their stay! Samm has a large following of repeat customers and that drew us to her. We now know why - Our dog was well fed, walked, exercised and loved. Samm reached out when she noticed that our dog wasn’t drinking enough water and worked out a strategy to get her to drink more. Attention to detail is a key feature with Samm. Samm is respectful and compassionate towards dogs first but also towards humans. She very kindly dropped our pup off at our house after the sitting assignment, at our request. You’d be lucky to work with Samm and learn a thing or two about being a better dog parent. Get in line, fast!”

“Jc was friendly, professional, and attentive to detail from first communication to pick up; his experience caring for dogs really showed throughout. He took great care of Echo, a high energy border collie, who went straight to napping when we brought him home that evening (courtesy of Jc taking him on runs and walks). Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was great! Not only was this a last minute reservation, she welcomed my 2 small dogs to her home and family. Nicole was terrific with her communication. She sent pictures and videos daily.”

“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”

“Chris is absolutely the best! Our dogs love him and get so excited to see him. He is super communicative and sends lots of great updates. One of our pups had some vomiting issues at the end of our trip, and he handled it amazingly - made us feel like she was in excellent hands. Chris is our favorite sitter!!”


“Jan and Alaina were great. My poodle can be a little testy around other dogs, so I was a bit worried but Jan confidently told me she could handle it and she did! Got lots of updates and pictures during his 2 night stay. Felt comfortable about him being there and will rebook with Jan in the future. ”
“Ritu and Manish are such wonderful hosts. Our boarding experience with them was phenomenal and ultimate peace of mind with lots of pics and updates on how our dog was doing there. All of us and our pup have made friends for life!”

“Wendie did an excellent job taking care of Pepper as evidenced by her generous use of photos and update messages. We could tell that our pet was well-loved while also well-monitored during her time with Wendie. Would highly recommend Wendie and will absolutely board with her again!”

“Luke stayed with Kristen for the second time and quickly felt at home. She treated him like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kristen again for future trips :)”

“My dog Sauce had such a wonderful stay at Xiaotong’s home. Sauce was so welcomed by the entire family, and made great buddies with their dog Luna. Great communications too and we received many many fun videos and photos. The owner also left me a sweet letter that summarized Sauce’s stay. Highly recommended!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was so well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved receiving daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

“Jaana took wonderful care of our 2-year-old Goldendoodle! She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he got plenty of exercise, including multiple trips to the park. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Jaana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Colleen and Raymond were great pup sitters! Super communicative and accommodating for our last minute changes to pick up so that our dog could make it to a dental cleaning appointment that opened up while we were away. They pay special attention to details for our pup’s preferences like what words to use for commands was much appreciated as he loves to show off his tricks! Tate can’t wait for his next chance to hang with Colleen and Raymond!”

“Ruslana took very good care of Nora. We reached out to her last minute as the need came unexpectedly and she was very responsive. She understood her needs and made sure Nora followed her schedule. Ruslana also asked questions when in doubt. She sent us photos and videos regularly. Definitely earned a repeat client.”


“Tyler watched our 2 year old mini Aussie Potato and it went so well!! He is so communicative, responsive, and reliable. Potato can be shy and sensitive to noises and he worked so well with her to make her feel comfortable. He took her on two long walks as well and played with her to make sure all her needs were met. I couldn’t recommend Tyler more!”

“Beth is great! She was so accommodating. allowing me and Molly to visit her home a couple of additional times before the actual stay. That way, Molly could get acclimated to Beth's place. She sent pictures during the day, and couldn't have been nicer. Her home and yard are immaculate. And she is super organized! A real pleasure to work with her.”


“This was our first experience boarding our dog with a stranger. Stella was great. She took such great care of our senior, reactive dog. Our dog was smiling in every picture. We've already booked her again!”


“Leopold basically is now part of the family. We could expect better care. They sent daily pictures that were adorable and really care if your fur baby has what he or she needs. My dachund need lots of snuggles and he got them.”

“Randsell watched Milo while we were on a 7 day cruise. She sent lots of photos and videos, and took him on lots of walks and gave him a lot of attention. We would definitely rebook her when we're in the area again!”

Kornelija was fantastic with our mini Australian Shepherd. She sent us frequent updates with pictures throughout the day, so we always knew Coco was happy and doing well. Coco came home relaxed and well cared for. We'd absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.

We honestly cannot thank Serena annd Peter enough for the incredible love and care they gave our precious Remy while we were away. She unfortunately got sick right before we left on a 2 week vacation and we almost had to cancel! But Serena went above and beyond to reassure us she was in good hands. From taking her to vet follow-up appointments to making sure she took her medications and carefully monitoring her recovery, she cared for our baby with so much patience, compassion, and dedication. Serena kept us constantly updated and reassured us every step of the way until we knew Remy was feeling like herself again. Thanks to Serena and Peter we were able to fully enjoy our vacation with the peace of mind knowing our baby was safe, loved, and receiving the very best care. Thank you guys so much! We feel so lucky to have found you and wouldn’t hesitate to trust you with our sweet girl again! ❤️

Jaana took wonderful care of our 2-year-old Goldendoodle! She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he got plenty of exercise, including multiple trips to the park. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Jaana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

We had a last minute college tour trip back east come together and Joyce was able to easily accommodate our plans. Both our dogs came home perfectly happy and settled back into the routines without a missed beat -- something we take to mean that their stay elsewhere has not been stressful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we will be having Fezzik and Marge hang out with Joyce again soon!
She was amazing to our little boy. She provided plenty of pictures, took him on regular walks during our boarding. On the day of drop off she was very attentive to our instructions and asked plenty of questions. All of this allowed me and my wife to enjoy our vacation with ease.

it's always great when you pick up your dog and there's nothing new or different, just the same happy dog, who spent some time with a friend for a bit and is happy to see you again. thanks Matthew and Irene for taking good care of our dog for us when we were out of town.

Ziyan and her family took such great care of our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. She seems highly skilled at managing several different breeds of dogs at once, which I appreciate. Our 7 year old labradoodle stayed there while she was also taking care of a young and energetic lab and our dog didn't seem intimidated at all. Same with her German Shepard, who was very gentle with our dog. I appreciated the frequent communication, including daily videos and photos and would not hesitate to board our dog with Ziyan again!

Louie had the best time with Marina, Bret and Georgia and I can tell he’s missing them and their wonderful backyard already! They sent daily updates, took him on walks, and gave him lots of love while I was gone! Thank you both so much!! Louie will definitely be back for another visit :)

Ralina went absolutely above and beyond for Zuzu and treated him like he was her very own! Zuzu is an incredibly social, sweet cat who didn’t hide and spent so much time keeping her company. She truly fell in love with him, and knowing he was in such a loving, attentive home, gave me complete peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough

Kelly is a fantastic dogsitter!! My little dog was in such great hands, and she got along so well with Kelly’s dog. Kelly expertly dealt with a couple issues of Piper getting adjusted, and continued to make Piper feel safe, secure, and loved. She is an absolute pro, and I would trust Kelly with Piper’s care any time, and would not hesitate to book her again. I also very much appreciated the many photos and updates Kelly sent while we were away. Thank you!!

Joanne was very reliable and took great care of our dog. She even made sure to treat a sore spot on her front foot by applying the medication ointment every day. Taro came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her.

Robin & her boys are wonderful sitters! Our dog always looks forward to staying with them & comes home very happy. We can tell that he gets lots of love & snuggles which is what we look for when we need someone else to care for him. They’re always our first choice whenever we need a sitter!

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 .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
