“Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!”
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“Im incredibly happy to have found Sara and her lil dog Lilly thru this site. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my 9 month old puppy Maia. I completely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Sara was very attentive to her needs an giving cuddles as she missed her family. As well as sent me pictures from yard shanigans to a fun walk with both our doggies. I cant thank her enough and will definitely be chosing for the future!”
“Yvonne took such good care of my pup, she is knowledgeable and super willing to work with his quirks and training needs! She makes sure to give such detailed reports of how they spend their day and she gives him great exercise! She also sends lots of photo updates!”
“alexis was awesome, it’s so convenient that she picks up and drops off the pups! atlas seemed to have a fun day, running around and meeting new friends! he was nice and tired out when he got home after a good long day!”
“Leslie is super professional, loves the puppies, and is very accommodating. I knew my buddy was in great hands when I left for the day…and her dogs made it fun for him to spend the day there. I HIGHLY recommend Leslie!”
“Tami was wonderful! She was open to watching our Trudy for a one-time event while we were enjoyed a full day of non-doggy play while on vacation. Trudy had a BLAST! She came home exhausted. Apparently, she had a grand time in Tami's backyard with her Spaniel. She came back spoiled, but not rotten. Tami is an asset. I wish she lived near me. I would not hesitate to have her watch our Trudy for a short or extended period of time.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
“Sophia was wonderful! She sent so many pictures of Fynn having a great time playing with her pups, playing in the backyard and cuddling during nap time. Sophia was able to meet all of Fynns needs and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care! Would definitely call on her again! Fynn came home happy and tired after a fun day at her house!”
About: I grew up on a small organic farm, where we raised everything from sheep and goats to rabbits and quail. We also had 5 cats and a dog, so caring for animals was a part of my everyday life from a young age. That experience has given me the confidence to care for pets with different personalities and needs. As I got older, my love for animals stayed with me. Whether your pet loves long walks, play time or wants someone to keep them company i’ll make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I recently graduated college at WWU and I am currently working part time, so I can easily fit around your schedule and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work Tuesday and Thursday and I am off in the afternoon. I live close to a few parks that are dog friendly and make a great walk. Inside, pets are free to roam throughout the house.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for over 7 years. I am friendly, responsible and caring towards animals. I have references. I also communicate well and have a pretty flexible schedule. My schedule is usually pretty flexible on the weekends (sat-sun). On Weekdays I am available Mondays and Fridays. Two-Three days notice is appreciated, please & thanks. For safety- I make sure I have my phone on me at all times. I. communicate with owner if anything seems off. I ask questions to make sure I am aware of your pets routine and to ensure your pets environment is comfortable & trustworthy.
“WOW! Mika was incredible! She cared for my pup like he was her own and sent so many pictures! She is a phenomenal communicator, punctual and very trustworthy! 100/10 would recommend!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds my whole life, including my (now passed) 17-year-old dog and my current puppy, Maggie. I understand the needs of both energetic youngsters and gentle seniors, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine - I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets throughout the day. Whether it’s scheduled visits or regular walks, I’m already in the rhythm of caring for pets consistently and reliably. I have a large fenced yard and am happy to make any accommodations for your pet that are needed (crating, leash training, administering medication, etc.)
“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I trained two labrador puppies for my family and took care of my sick senior supermutt for months until he passed. Volunteering at dog rescue lounges every week has incresed my skills of understanding dog behavior, controlling reactive pups, giving medication, bathing, walking, and overall canine knowledge. I am an online college student so all hours of my week are centered around pet care needs! I have all the time in the world to look after animals. I live in a fenced in apartment with plenty of grassy space for pups to explore. There are no pets in my home, so your animal will be the sole attention for my care.
“Karrin is great, super great communication on the app and in person. She sent pictures, although I didn’t get them because I didn’t have WiFi on the whale watching excursion most of the time, until later but she sent me a lot of them for the short amount of time they were with her. She took great care of them. They are looking forward to going back to see her and her puppy tomorrow and spending the night with them!!!”
“Annie was super responsive when we were searching for a dog sitter for the day and made herself available at the very last minute. Our dog seemed to have a great time and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up in the evening.”

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 Marietta-Alderwood 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 202 sitters in Marietta-Alderwood, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
