“Rachel took great care of our Ruby while we were away. She kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pics of her during her stay. She looked genuinely happy. We will definitely bring Ruby there again in the future.”
“Janelle and Travis are amazing! Our energetic German Shepherd, Bear, had the best time with their family and playing with all the pups. He came home happy and wiped out! They sent us daily videos of him having so much fun, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Dave took great care of my two dogs. I received lots of pictures and he quickly responded to texts. Finn and Rory came home happy and tired. I would definitely use Dave again!”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Phenomenal Rover! Our dogs are always so excited when we pull into her driveway and we really appreciate how genuine she is in her care for our dogs and how understanding she is when there have been hiccups in our scheduled plans.”
“April so kind and caring when it came to my pup! I had to find care last minute, which caused a lot of stress for me. She soothed all my doubts and make sure my girl had a great stay. April is definitely somebody that I will book with for future boarding needs! :)”
“From the start, Kathy treated our little pom like her own and sent us lots of updates and pics. Being the only pup in her care allowed our Leila to settle in quickly with little or no anxiety which was important to us. We explained Leila has health issues and would need meds at specific times. This Kathy took in stride having had past dealings with pet illnesses. Still, she listened and asked questions about what issues Leila was experiencing, the meds she needed and when/how to administer. We left for our trip knowing our pup would receive outstanding care. We're almost certain Leila was not ready to come home with us from her vacation. She was treated like a princess!!! Kathy is absolutely amazing. My husband and I highly recommend her.”
“I was so pleased to discover this option for boarding our dogs. When we met Christel before our stay I could tell she loves dogs and she’s good with them. I left feeling totally comfortable with them staying with Christel and her family for a long weekend. My dogs are big Great Pyrenees and Christel took them for walks and handled everything. She even set-up and took-down the huge sleeping crates we brought. During the trip Christel sent so many pictures and updates. My dogs were always smiling and playing and I could tell she loved having them. It felt like my doggies were at a sleep-away camp, they had so much fun! All throughout she was so easy to work with and flexible. Christel gave my dogs so much personal attention that I think they came back better trained than when I left them! My dogs had an amazing time in a big backyard where they played with their sweet resident dog and were loved by a family. It was perfect.”
“I knew at our meet and greet that Krystle would be a great sitter for Layla. I could tell from the photos that Krystle became Layla’s person in my absence. We use Rover because we want our pets to be part of a family and not alone in a kennel and I could tell Layla was making herself at home on their sofa. I highly recommend Krystle as a dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter for our dog, Apollo. Tyler was the best person we could have asked for. He was super communicative ahead of time, was sending us plenty of updates while we were gone, and sent lots of photos. He also took Apollo on plenty of walks in some nice areas in Bothell. Apollo looked like he had the best time. We'd love to have him stay with Tyler again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Wally had an amazing time with Shizuko! He looked so loved and relaxed! Shizuko sent great daily updates that made us feel that Wally was well taken care of! I will definitely ask Shizuko to dog sit again and I highly recommend her services!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Shalini is a great pet sitter who took care of our dog Buddy. She kept in touch daily with updates and photos. Buddy seemed very comfortable and happy in her home. Great first experience and we will definitely be reaching out again.”
“Craig is a fantastic dog sitter. You can tell he really enjoys spending time with dogs and will treat your pet with the best care and attention. He is very focused on what you would like for your dog in terms of feeding schedules and normal routines. He is amazing and I would definitely use him for future bookings. Thank you so much Craig.”
“Cynthia was great in looking after our pup! She had him for almost a full week and sent us consistent pictures and messages; very communicative overall, which we appreciated. We felt assured that our pup was having just as good of a vacation as us! Will definitely come back to Cynthia for our next trip.”
“Kimberley does a great job watching our dog Louie. She gives photo updates and it’s obvious she loves animals. We feel lucky to have found Kimberley for dog sitting!”
“I am over the moon to have found Kimberly! She and her family take all the guilt/worry out of leaving my beloved Summer to travel or take care of family needs. I am beyond grateful for the care I know she is receiving.”
“We knew our dog was in good hands when we left for a long vacation. Our dog squeals with joy when seeing Amber & Barb. We appreciate & highly recommend Amber & Barb. Julie & Randy”
“Mary was great! She accommodated our last minute request as we were heading out of town and kept us updated many times throughout the long weekend we were gone. Our Stella had so much play time and seemed so relaxed and content by the time we picked her up. Planning on taking advantage of the day care options as well. We will definitely be using Mary’s services on a regular basis!”
“Karina is an amazing sitter, she was clear and communicative while watching my golden retriever and always would reach out if anything. I would recommend her to anyone.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Machias
We were first time Rover users and needed a fairly last minute booking, so we’re really glad we found Tram! She was responsive, reliable, and made the whole experience very easy. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Doodle was in good hands and well cared for while we were away. He seemed to have a great time too(hopefully he behaved himself!) 😊 We’d definitely be happy to book with Tram again.
Currin was a great sitter! Louie really enjoyed being at their home. Their dogs were so sweet and friendly to my dog as well! They always sent me photos and let me know how Louie was doing the whole time we were gone. They were also very understanding and were so easy to work with and communicate with. Would absolutely book again and recommend to everyone !
Robin and her family are fabulous. My girl, Sylvi Bell, is an itty bitty tini tiny little 90lb baby, and.... she can be needy at times. Robin was communicative, sent great photos, and ultimately, provided exactly the safe steadfast care my best friend and I needed during my travel. She had fun, and I had a reparative experience in learning great doggo sitters do exist!
Travis was amazing! We had to leave very last minute for a family emergency. He got back to me right away and made our pup feel at home! When we came to pick her up she looked so excited and relaxed. It was so nice to know she was well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks again!
I had a wonderful experience with Candice taking care of our senior pup! She is very communicative, sent lots of picture updates, and is such a pleasant sitter to work with. Candice is very experienced and knowledgeable and we could tell our dog was well loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her pet boarding services, you will not be disappointed! Thank you 🙏 🙏

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 Machias home-away-from-home, 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 Machias.
<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 Machias 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 , 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 .
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.
