“Shadie was the perfect choice for our pup's first multi-day boarding, he was confused why he had to leave his new friends when we picked him up! Great level of communication and feedback, we will definitely request Shadie again.”
“I am so grateful for the care Araceli provided! From the start, she completely reassured me and made me feel at ease leaving my dog in her hands. She was incredibly professional and attentive, giving me total peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog came home spotless, full of energy, and clearly very well-loved. It is such a relief to find a sitter I can truly trust to be observant and caring. We will definitely be booking with Araceli again!”
“Jared has always gone above and beyond watching my Pomeranian. He is very prompt with communication and quick to reply. And able to work with my sometimes hectic schedule and flight delays. He even helped me jump start my car when my car died outside their house after dropping off my dog! I will continue booking with them whenever I am on work trips.”
“Eric & Emily are amazing with Sadie. This was a quick overnight trip and they were so accommodating. We're hoping they'll always be available for Sadie whenever we need to go out of town. I can't imagine a better family watching out for our Sadie.”
“Larissa was the perfect person to take care of my dog. She sent me updates and photos throughout the entire time. I felt assured that my dog Mac was in good hands and at no point was worried. I’d happily leave my pup with Larissa again!”
“Kathy and her husband were fantastic care givers to our furry babies. Kathy was very communicative and sent daily pics to put our minds at ease. Our pups seemed to get along great with their pups and also enjoyed the big yard. Would not hesitate to call on this family again the next time we take a vacation.”
“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“I had to have surgery and needed someone to watch my boy for a month. Maryorie was FANTASTIC! It was such a relief to know he was taken care of and gave me the grace to be able to focus on healing instead of worrying. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Lajetta was an amazing sitter for our doggy. She is super kind and loving. She made sure to keep us updated and sent lots of photos! I would definitely use her services again!”
“Having Roshan stay with our doggie was amazing. She was wonderful in communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Very loving and caring person towards him. He was definitely in good hands, he had a great time with her. 🥰”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Danielle and her partner are super sweet, friendly, responsible and thorough when it came to my dog’s care. It was her first time away from me and they made me feel very comfortable and confident that she was well taken care of! I appreciate that they let her on the furniture because she’s a snuggle bug :) Will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Kimberley is a very caring and knowledgeable dog owner and dog caregiver. My dogs had a great visit beforehand to see how good of fit they were with her dog and home. She had my dogs for a week and asked a couple questions about one of my dogs who is a bit nervous at times and she was very concerned about providing what he needed to relax more and settle in. my dogs were happy there. I don’t have anything negative to say about Kimberley and her home or her care of my dogs. She was fantastic. She sent a few pictures asked important questions. My dogs were happy and well cared for and I didn’t worry about them while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Kimberley.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Shore
As a first-time dog owner who had never used Rover before, I was naturally nervous about boarding my dog, Geralt, especially given his health and behavioral needs. He has elbow dysplasia and significant anxiety. Finding Shell was an absolute blessing. She went above and beyond in every possible way, not only caring for Geralt with complete devotion, but also guiding me on how to give him the best training, nutrition, and life possible. Shell truly has a gift and can read a dog’s mind. She instantly understood Geralt’s body language and underlying motivations. When he experienced anxiety, she intuitively determined what he needed to feel better, adjusted his care seamlessly, and helped keep him calm and safe. She also noticed he wasn't thrilled with his standard food and introduced duck kibble as a healthy, delicious alternative to chicken, explaining the nutritional benefits and making mealtime something he looked forward to. Her weekly play group has done wonders for Geralt’s socialization. Through her structured "pack life" activities, he interacted beautifully with other dogs (like Daisy and Raven) and blossomed into a confident, happy "ladies' man"! Throughout the stay, Shell provided constant reassurance by calling me frequently and sending endless updates, photos, and videos of their daily adventures. Seeing Geralt thrive, play, and crash happily on her floor gave me total peace of mind. "Auntie Shell" is so much more than a dog sitter; she is a deeply knowledgeable mentor, caregiver, and advocate for every dog in her care. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Tosha was great, she was a great communicator and let us know how Nellie was doing with photos and a video during her stay. I especially loved seeing Nellie playing with her own little dogs, and having a great time. Tosha was prepared and organized, I was impressed at the notes she took and questions she asked me about Nellie to make sure she would be comfortable and well taken care of. She did a great job and I highly recommend her.
Britta is a true pet lover, through and through! Very communicative throughout the stay, and her experience and involvement with the pets under her care, is obvious My dog had a fantastic time under her care, and Britta even sent a great photo of Apollo playing. If you want a responsible , sincere pet lover to look after your furry friend, then look no further than!
Sandy took exceptional care of Drake and treated him like he was part of her own family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Her grandchildren spent time playing with Drake, and it was clear he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while we were away. Sandy kept us updated, and when we picked Drake up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave him and would highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. We will absolutely use her again!
Fran was wonderful! She took amazing care of Pepper, taking her on walks, providing plenty of toys, setting up her blanket for a comfortable place to sleep that reminded her of home and even taking her to a swimming hole. She provided regular updates including videos and photos. I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing that Pepper was having fun with Fran and her pup Murphy. Fran clearly loves dogs and has lots of experience. Do not hesitate to book with Fran.
Five stars are not enough for Danny and Maria. They watched Jupiter, my cocker spaniel/King Charles over Memorial Weekend. They sent several videos and photos of my Jup, along with Emma (their dog) and Stich (another dog they watch). Oh my goodness Jupiter was having the time of his life. Danny and Maria are such caring people and love our fur babies as if they were theirs. Jupiter is almost 3 years old and an only doggie child, so he felt as though he was on vacation himself. He went for walks with the gang and played hard in the huge backyard. It’s like Doggie Disneyland at Danny and Maria’s. They made sure to ask about any food issues/allergies etc. I totally hit the jackpot finding these amazing people. I would recommend them a thousand times taking care of any fur baby. 👏👍

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 Lake Shore 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 Lake Shore.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lake Shore 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.
