“Elena was great! We could definitely tell that our puppy was happy with her and honestly he probably didn’t want to leave! She sent plenty of photos and videos while we were away and always kept us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely be using Elena again!”
“Bucky seemed well taken care of, communication was wonderful. I could tell she cared for Bucky and that was lovely. He was stressed and didn't want to eat during his stay, but she ensured he was cared for and took the time to help him settle in and eat. There were two very energetic dogs, not one as listed, and that was overwhelming for me and Bucky upon arrival. I was grateful he seemed to acclimate quickly.”
“Jennifer and David are the kindest people you'll meet and took absolutely wonderful care of my two dogs several times overnight while I worked. They're flexible and really put effort into making your pup comfortable. They have a large fenced yard for everyone to run around in and lots of love and treats to give!”
“Megan is pretty much... amazing! Penny has found her second home with Megan and her family. I never worry for Penny and I always know she is having a great time going on lots of walks, playing frisbee, and being loved. I totally recommend using Megan for your next rover house!”
“Cheryl was excellent! Sent me daily photos of Amiga which was nice while we were on our trip to see that Amiga was having a good time. Her communication was great as well. Highly recommend Cheryl!!”
“Taylor was amazing! We have multiple pups that were in her care for a few weeks. We got daily pictures, messages, and she cared for the dogs so well. We have two older dogs and a puppy and they were each cared for by their needs. They were wiped out when it was time to come home! The dogs seemed so happy with her and also enjoyed the company of the other pups there. We will certainly use Taylor again and appreciate her care to our dogs. Leaving them can be hard but it’s a bit easier when you know they’re in good hands. :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. 📅 Schedule I’m available for pet care on weekends and can be flexible with timing throughout the day. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or boarding depending on your pet’s needs. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own who love having furry friends around. I’m happy to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Great dog sitter, and has good availability. Took on our dog last minute. He sent pictures of our baby and communicated with us when our flights were delayed. Very great at taking care of our dog with various medicine protocols at feeding times.”
“Michelle was amazing! We have a pup that will endlessly play ball and her and her kiddo delivered! She sent us many pictures throughout the trip which we loved! They continuously played and entertained him. We will use her again for sure!”
“Jilly had a wonderful stay with Gregg. She loved playing with his dog. It was so reassuring to get daily photos. Communication was first rate on everything. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia was amazing! She asked a lot of questions and took plenty of notes to make sure my dogs could maintain as much of their home life as possible. She sent photos and feedback daily. She made my girls feel right at home in her home. She gave them all the cuddles and snuggles. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up.”
“Kelly took very good care of our pups! She checked in a few times with pictures/updates and when we picked up our dogs they had given them baths so they smelled great and looked super happy!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from family friends while they were out of the country, made sure they got their medication on a regular basis or a specific time. I’ve taken care of elderly dogs and helped support them when doing potty/poop business. I’m also currently in a Veterinary Assisting Program, where I myself have learned a lot as an owner, understanding special cares for dogs that need special care, how to give medications, which I am comfortable to give Orally, not injectable yet since I am a student learning. I am still in school, but after school or on the weekends I will be available. Got any summer plans and can’t take your fur baby with you?? I’m available! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. In clients' homes, I respect their space and maintain a clean, stress-free environment for their pets. I prioritize safety at all times, keep pets supervised, provide regular updates, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you're away! :)
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all sort of animals! I grew up on a farm so have lots of experience giving animals medicine and providing care to those that are sick as well. My dad is a dog trainer so I have had all sorts of dog and puppies around my whole life. I work Monday- Friday 8am to 430 pm and can offer potty breaks every 8 hrs. I can potentially take a mid day potty break during lunch if located close to downtown area. I will follow any instructions the owners give me and make sure to always provide a safe environment for the pet I am taking care of.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and my fiancé and I have had our own pets for 6 years now. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, but I am here to help in any way I can. I have two cats and two dogs of my own which means I have experience with puppies and kittens, and with things like giving medications as well. I will care for your pets as if they were my own 😊 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, however, my fiancé and I have worked potty breaks into our schedules. One of us comes home every day for a mid-day potty break for our own pets, and we would be happy to include your pets as well. We have a big yard and decent space inside for your pets. Our pets are allowed on our couch and they usually hang out with us; it would be no different for your pets. We have space to set up a crate if needed and we even have a few crates available so you don’t have to haul yours around. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs with you!
About: I have owned several dogs in my life. I have helped trained multiple dogs for special need accommodations. I often take care of friends dogs and horses when needed, and have experience handling anything from small dogs to large farm animals. I would love to take dogs on walks and am skilled in training dogs if that something you are looking for. I take boarding where I have a big fenced yard. I do have a cat, but she has room to roam downstairs and to be outside so the dog and cat would never have to interact. Because I work a professional Monday-through-Thursday schedule, my weekends are completely cleared and dedicated to pet care. I am entirely off from Friday through Sunday, meaning my schedule revolves 100% around making sure your pup has a fantastic weekend getaway of their own while you are away! Safety and peace of mind are the absolute foundation of my boarding service. Because I only host one guest dog at a time, your pup receives my full, undivided attention in a highly controlled, secure, and loving environment.
“Dani was great! She was easy to communicate with and sent nice picture updates. Bojangles loved playing fetch in the field and swimming with his new buddy Charlie. It was very nice to be able to explore Glacier without worrying about all the dog restrictions.”

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.

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 Malden 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 Malden 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 Malden.
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 Malden. 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 Malden 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.
