“My pups did great staying with Melissa and Alva for a few days. They have a great setup with large fenced area for the dogs to run around. They sent pics, administered medications, and the doggies appeared to have a good time hanging out on the farm.”
“Angela is an angel and life saver! My friend had an emergency so I needed a last minute dog sitter for a 4 day weekend and luckily found Angela. From well the photos she sent me I found the my dog was being treated like a king. Great communication and kinda worried Pabu is gonna love her and her family more then me after all the pics and adventures they had 😂 will def use again”
“Tony was great to work with! He had a great set up and was able to support the needs of our pup. I fully trusted him with our dog and will be preferring to work with him again in the future. During the time that our dog was with Tony, we were recieving cute pictures of the adventures that she went on.”
“We can't say enough great things about Jared! He watched our girl Posie and we felt so relieved to leave her with such a capable sitter who attended to her needs so well and communicated clearly and quickly with us! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times to accommodate our traveling schedule. Will certainly be booking again!”
“Had a super great stay with Matthew and Lindsay! It was my first time with them, as I was looking for someone to use while staying with family away from home. Immediately felt totally comfortable after meeting them and seeing their setup and attention to care and managing dog dynamics. Toby was totally at ease and went right to play! Really direct, easy communication and drop off / pickup. Highly recommend— it’s clear they know what they’re doing!”
“Steve loved his stay with Erica and Elohim! They’re very friendly and communicative. I was hoping for a sitter without other dogs because my guy can be a little reactive as he gets older. I appreciated the updates and photos each day. We’ll definitely look to book again when I’m out of town nexxt and highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Kristi is one of the kindest thoughtful sitters I’ve found. She’s responsive and takes such good care of my dog that he doesn’t want to come home. I highly recommend her to anyone. She’s simply the best.”
“Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.”
“David was excellent! Lumi had a great time playing with the other pups and I think benefited from David working from home, which is what she is used to. Thank you so much, will be booking again!”
“We were extremely satisfied with our experience. Jennifer was very accommodating to our timing needs and best of all, our greyhound, Eddy, was very happy during his stay. We can always tell how Eddy liked his stay when we pick him up. We have had instances when he literally fled to the car as soon as he could. When we picked him up from Jennifer's house, he was like, "do we have to go already?" We also appreciated Jennifer's daily communication and pictures that gave us confidence our pet was well cared for and happy so we could enjoy our vacation.”
“Haleigh is fantastic! I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog, Pepper, in her care. As Pepper has gotten older, her needs and abilities seem to change every day, and Haleigh has been wonderful at adapting to those age-related changes. She is patient, attentive, and does a great job keeping Pepper calm, comfortable, and happy. It's clear that Haleigh truly cares for the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter, especially those with senior or geriatric dogs who need a little extra care and comfort.”
“Alyssa took great care of my spoiled senior poodle. She provided regular updates and was proactive with questions. Knowing he was in great hands, receiving lots of attention and love allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation.”
About: For over 20 years, I've looked after everything from energetic puppies to senior doggies, newborn kittens to little furry rodents. My professional background in behavior science has taught me to show up reliably, respect boundaries, and have patience in chaotic moments. I grew up with all manner of dogs: Labradors, Goldendoodles, Jack Russells, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and more. I know how to potty-train and teach a few fun tricks. I will always ensure your animal's safety and comfort is my top priority. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is very flexible! I'm home throughout the day and can offer attentive care. My crew includes Skippy and Juju, two senior chihuahuas, Goldie, a rare female marmalade kitty, and Wesley, my adventurous little human boy. We love getting outdoors to go on walks and hikes. Your pet's safety is always my priority. I require a leash for all walks and prefer harnesses to collars for doggy security. My backyard is fenced and a beautiful park with a small walking trail is directly behind my house. I have a variety of different sized kennels along with baby gates restricting access to certain areas of my house like the entry way and stairs. My own pets are easy going couch potatoes and I have no problem separating them from others if necessary.
“Maryorie took great care of our girl. She sent us lots of updates and pictures. My dog came home happy, seems like she had a great time. Would not hesitate to use Maryorie again in the future.”
“Ruby had a great time, and they were so In tune with her needs and making sure she was comfortable. They were great about sending updates on how she was doing and pictures also.”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our senior dog and our kitten! We will definitely be booking with her again the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Hannah, for taking such great care of Bear and Nyx for us!”
“Kristen did an excellent job of taking care of our dog. She sent pictures daily and our dog really enjoyed spending time with her dog! We would definitely go to Kristen again. Thanks Kristen!”
“Genevieve was fantastic and took phenomenal care of my 11 year old dog. She was super communicative, asked all the questions before hand so I felt confident leaving him with her. We FaceTimed a couple times while I was gone too so I could really see his demeanor and he was so chilled out and comfy with her, just snuggling through the morning. I would absolutely recommend Genevieve to watch friends dogs and will reach out to her in the future for any dog watching needs!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,924 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lucia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Lucia can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Lucia 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 Lucia.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lucia. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lucia 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
