“Sara was amazing! Our pup Charlie had a great time — we can tell he was well cared for. We received updates and pictures during his stay, and he was returned to us clean and fluffy after playing in the mud! We will definitely visit Sara and her pups again. (:”
“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: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
About: I specialize is large breeds for walking and boarding, but all dogs are welcome. I have a highly energetic dog who loves to play. Able to pick up with large van that can accommodate several dogs. Large backyard with lots of toys. Excellent neighborhood for walking. Covered patio and indoor sleeping area. Close proximity to off leash dog parks. I am a full-time stay at home dad with one kid in school and the other starting soon. I have an at-home bakery business so I am around a lot. Large fully fenced yard. Walkable neighborhood. Golden aussiedoodle mix will keep them company. High energy and loves to play! I can provide a crate for any further crate training needs.
“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.”
“Nich was great! Super friendly, took great care of my pup. Video and text updates. Not afraid to ask questions as needed. I would definitely trust Nich again to watch my little monster 🐶. 😊”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Judith and family were great! I had a wedding in the area and needed someone to watch my dog for a couple hours and Judith to the rescue. She was fine with last minute plans. Her home was super pet friendly and my pooch made himself at home. He was happy and tired from playing when I picked him up! Would absolutely use again when I visit my friends in the area!”
“Thank you, Gino, for taking care of Gus today! I was definitely more anxious than him since it was his first time as an adult dog staying with someone he doesn’t know. Gino sent plenty of update photos and video throughout the day with text updates on how he was settling in, which eased my nerves. Gus wasn’t stressed or anxious when I picked him back up and so I could tell he was well taken care of. We’re looking forward to more regular daycare visits!”
About: I understand that every pup has their own personality, and I enjoy giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve while you're away. Whether your little companion enjoys short walks to the park, cozy lap time, playtime, or simply a calm and caring presence, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in providing reliable, loving care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently retired, so I have all of the time needed to be with your pup. My lifestyle is ideal for pet sitting since I will be with them nearly every minute you’re gone. I live in an apartment that has a dedicated potty space for dogs just a short elevator ride away. There’s a park across the street for short walks. I’ve had dogs for many years and our neighbors are all very dog friendly! They love to say hi as we go in and out to potty and walk.
“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.”
“Matthew was very kind and understanding. He took care of our anxious pup. He didn’t mind that our 11 month old dog kept growling at him. He sent lots of updates and was caring.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I also have pet insurance. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. I typically have between 1-5 additional pups in my home. Many are repeat clients, so many of the pups I board/daycare for will see their same friends every now and then! We keep a small crew in our home to ensure each pup has the dedicated attention and care they need. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
“We were super grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo! Appreciated the pics and video they sent throughout the day. Great communication, highly recommend!”
“Was very pleased with Nathaly and her fur baby, Stella. Appreciated updates of photos and videos that was comforting to know Tobie was doing okay. Was also great to have another German shepherd to play with Tobie. Stella was a bonus in helping Tobie adjust. My Tobie came home tired and ready to sleep. Though Tobie still needs training, Nathaly took time to help Tobie. I would definitely request for Nathaly again. Thank you Nathaly and Stella!!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve not only had my own pets throughout my entire life, but have cared for the pets of those around me on multiple occasions, whether it be dog walking for neighbors, or pet sitting for vacations. I work from home and am typically available all day to care for your pets. I am flexible and can come check on your pets when needed as well. When checking in on your pets in your home I will spend quality time with them, while also checking their food and water supply and making sure their living situation is up to standard. When caring for pets in my home, I will treat them as my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland North
My pup absolutely adores going to Sara’s home and playing with all the other furry friends! I was referred to Sara through a resident at my apt and am so glad I have a place I trust where my pup is in amazing hands. Sara is so responsive and I love that she sends over adorable photos of the pups during their stay!
Anthony was amazing with my 4 month old puppy, Knixon! This was my first time leaving him with someone, especially for 8+ hours, so I was definitely nervous. But Anthony made me feel so comfortable knowing Knix was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. I especially appreciated how attentive he was to my requests and how consistent he was with Knix’s training. And when he said in his bio that he specializes in “tuckering out dogs,” he was NOT lying 😂 Knix came home happy and completely tuckered out! With my job, I can’t always be on my phone, so having that peace of mind meant so much! I’ll definitely be booking with Anthony again and will absolutely recommend him to my family and friends! Highly recommend!
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.
Migi had so much fun at Jesse and Scott’s place. They were able to accommodate a very last minute booking for doggy daycare which was awesome! He came back home extremely tired and exhausted so I know he had a blast bc he’s a very energetic hyper dog usually, and they sent me several updates with pics and videos of him having fun in their big backyard. Will def book again in the future!

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 Lakeland North 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.
