“Kristin and her little daughter took such great care of Teddy ☺️He clearly felt comfortable and had a lovely time. Communication was easy and friendly — we’d definitely trust them again!”
“Excellent service. Sonia has a genuine and special love pets. My baby Maltese Napoleon spent a day with her and when I picked him up he was happy and in a very good mood for a while after we got home. It was super easy to drop off and pick up. I will definitely bring my baby back even if I don’t need care because he even made new fur friends while he was there. Sonia also sent beautiful pictures throughout the day. Total peace of mind when my baby was on her care.”
“I am an overprotective veterinary professional/Karen here... so I'm shocked that I found someone I'm so confident saying this about, but... Jennifer could NOT be a better, safer, more reliable, more loving, more careful and cautious pet sitter. My best friend and I were in Olympia for a few days recently for an event, and I needed somewhere for my three beautiful black crazies to be for that day. I'd spoken with some other pet sitters, but wasn't impressed, and I was getting more and more stressed out about it. Luckily, at the 13th hour, someone my daughter works with recommended Jennifer. As soon as we walked into her home, I knew I'd found my "person". Her entire house is set up to be a doggie Disneyland. Her yard is ENORMOUS, fully enclosed, and has natural ground. (Which is great, because I always worry about ACL injuries when dogs are running on concrete or slippery grass.) Within the first 10 minutes of being there, my autistic adult dog relieved herself completely, which she hadn't done throughout the prior three days we were traveling. And then... the most amazing thing of all... she started ZOOMING around the yard! I have had her for five years, and had never seen her like that before. She was like a bullet, flying through the air, unstoppable in her joy and speed. Her puppy brothers struggled to keep up with her, but couldn't. It was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I felt so, so comfortable leaving my three babies with her. I'd never felt that comfortable with anyone. Beyond that, Jennifer was friendly and incredibly flexible. It's clear she really loves dogs. I told her that if I ever make the 1,000-plus mile trip again, it would be so that my dogs could visit her, and NOT so that I could see my daughter. Joking...? I think not. Thank you, Jennifer! We need a million more "yous" everywhere. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡”
“I couldn’t be happier with Jennifer and her family for taking such great care of my dog. My dog came home happy, tired. I will definitely continue to board with Jennifer.”
“Hi Scott, Thank you so much to you and your family! You were all awesome and took care of Olive as if she were part of the family. She felt right at home from the very first day, and the atmosphere in your home was incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciate everything you did.”
“Darby has been very supportive and flexible with her schedule and availability to help out as we navigate a challenging time in our life. Our dog loves going to her house, and we get great photos of our dog!”
“Our little Odie loved his time at Rochelle's! She took such good care of him and he came home calm and relaxed every day. Great communication and wonderful location. Highly recommend!”
“Alison is our favorite dog sitter. She is very responsible, great with communication, really takes the time to understand our dog’s needs. She works from home but always takes time to take our dog out for walks or play with her. You can really tell she loves dogs. We couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Bobbie is the best. Took great care of Barry. Was friendly and nice to work with. She’s flexible with her schedule, so I can pick up my pup when it works best for me. And she’s really reasonably priced.”
“Lisa and her family graciously took care of Milo while I was passing through town and accommodated our quick schedule. They had great energy and Milo seemed to have a wonderful time. So grateful to have found them!”
“Qing is our Vets' Choice & Recommended! Absolute 10-star ⭐superstar! ONLY HER! After our vets of almost 30years recommended, we brought all 3 of our pups to Qing for daycare/board and training sessions and she handled the 2 energetic troublemakers and 1 super senior very very well and flawlessly. Our 2 young ones got to run around in her huge fenced yard, senior got extra gentle 24/7 supervision and attention. All meds were given precisely following schedules and instructions and she is very experienced and a true professional. We are very very glad that we found Qing and have locked in a 3mo training session for our pups, and we will always always come back and ONLY HER!!!”
“I usually would not leave my pet with someone I have not met, but when another sitter canceled on short notice, Desiree went the extra mile to accommodate us. Her friendly, prompt and clear communications assured us that he would be in good hands. She sent photos and updates through the day. Our Aussie was asleep in the car within minutes of pick up, which means he played hard all day. He will be excited to return!”
“When I read Jerrie’s reviews, a lot of folks described their experience as awesome. They were right, awesome was the first word I thought of when I sat down to right this review. I needed last minute weekend daycare and Jerrie was thankfully available. Jerrie gave lots of updates and pictures, which a dog having the time of her life. In fact when we came back the next day my pup got so excited when she realized where we were. I love the Harper J had all the space to run and meet new friends. Highly recommend.”
“Leanne was so attentive to Chloe’s old dog needs and helped me start thinking more seriously about the care she needs for her doggy dementia. I really appreciated the time she took to get to know us and help Chloe feel more comfortable at her first ever sitter experience”
About: Hi!😊 I’m a lifelong dog lover who works from home and genuinely enjoys being around pups it’s honestly the best part of my day. I’ve walked dogs of all ages and temperaments, and there’s nothing better than getting outside for long walks with awesome, adorable pups. It’s not just fun, it’s also therapeutic 🌸✨️. Speaking of which meet Moose 🫎! He’s my goofy, sweet, and super friendly dog who might resemble a small moose (you’ll see what I mean 😅). Moose absolutely loves making new furry friends and would have a blast hosting playdates or doggy sleepovers. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether it’s cuddle time, walk time, or playtime, they’ll be in good hands and even better company. I’m currently working from home full-time, so I use the flexibly to walk my dog plus other dogs around the neighborhood. I walk 3 times a day, morning, afternoon and night I live in a cozy, spacious apartment with my partner and our dog, Moose. I work from home, so we stick to a daily routine of three walks and plenty of playtime. Moose loves having another dog around—he always has even more fun with a buddy!
About: I'm a long-time dog lover and professional photographer. Your canine companion can expect lots of nature trail walking/running and engaging play time! There are always new toys and treats waiting to surprise them, and trips to the beach and visits to the dog park are often on the menu. Keeping your dog(s) safe and happy is my number one priority! I have a flexible schedule and dog-friendly home with a large, fenced yard and over .5 acre of walking trails for your pet to enjoy. I'm a buisness owner and mother to a pup loving 12 year old daughter, our 5 year old female shepard/huskey mix, Ruth, and our 8 year old cat, Ahya. At our home, your pup is one of the family! I work from home and set my own schedule so adjusting to your pup's schedule is no problem at all! Routine feeding and exercise times will keep your fur baby comfortable and happy. Daycare hours: 6:30am - 6:30pm I have a fenced yard, walking trails, and a friendly, energetic pup for your dog to play with. Dogs can sleep on the furniture (or cuddle up in bed with the humans) or have their own private space in several quiet areas of the house. Lots of toys, treats, and cuddles are sure to keep your pup entertained!

Hi Scott, Thank you so much to you and your family! You were all awesome and took care of Olive as if she were part of the family. She felt right at home from the very first day, and the atmosphere in your home was incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciate everything you did.
Jennifer was awesome! Our dog was so excited just pulling in her neighborhood every time she was staying with Jennifer. Her picture update was so adorable and wonderful to see throughout our days without our wonderful Emme. Jennifer’s house and yard are set up perfectly for comfort and interaction all day long! We are coming back into town later in July but you will be on a much-deserved vacation. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Lacey 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 811 sitters in Lacey, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
