“I left my cat with Anhelina for a week and it was an amazing decision. Anhelina sent photos and videos of my cat everyday. She also responded quickly to my messages. I highly recommend Anhelina. She’ll make sure your little one is comfortable.”
“Josh was attentive from the get-go during the meet and greet. He asked thorough questions about Jackson and took great notes. We knew Jackson was in good hands during our long weekend trip away and completely felt that Jackson was safe and comfortable. Josh even supplemented additional kibbles when we didn’t pack enough food. We’re very happy with Josh’s service and care of our pup!”
“Kaylie is our go-to sitter! Rigby always has a great time with her pups and we’re always getting pics/videos of Kaylie playing fetch with her, which is her favorite activity.”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”
“We booked Tu last minute to watch our 3 month old puppy while we were away for a few days. She was super responsive and accommodating. When our flight got delayed and I wouldn’t be able to pick up our puppy on time, Tu dropped him off in our home so he’d be there waiting for us when we got there. Tu sent daily updates and our puppy had a great time playing with the other dogs Tu babysat.”
“Vivian was great! This was the first time I have had to leave Maya for longer than a few hours and she was very understanding of that. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and answered any questions.”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“Once you leave your pup with Ketaki, you’ll instantly wish she were available for all your future trips. She showers your dog with genuine love and care, treating them like her own. Her communication is clear and reassuring throughout. Coco, her sweet and gentle pup, was the perfect companion, and our Tofu had the absolute best time during her 6-day stay with Ketaki.”
“Chris was a wonderful dog sitter for our high-energy pup. He sent regular updates and was clearly engaged and attuned with her needs over an extended 10-day stay. He was attentive to making sure she was well exercised and we really appreciated his care for our girl. We would highly recommend his services! Thank you, Chris!”
“Quinten took such great care of our 9-month-old pup, Raya, while we were away for spring break. From the moment we dropped her off, my daughter and I felt completely at ease—Quinten’s love for dogs was clear right away. Throughout our trip, he sent us wonderful videos of Raya looking so happy, whether she was cuddling with him or out on walks. It gave us so much peace of mind! We’re already planning to book with him again for our summer vacation.”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! My pup loved them since the first moment he met them. They kept me updated and my pup looked so happy! I highly recommend them!”
“Eva was absolutely wonderful—I am still pinching myself that we found her! It felt like the happiest and safest environment for our little senior dachshund. He definitely has his quirks, and Eva was so caring and kind in her care for him. She checked in regularly and was an absolute joy to work with—would absolutely recommend her to all!”
“Thanks Garima for taking care of Spud again! My boy gets very happy whenever he meets you and that makes me feel comfortable because I know he is in the best hands. Looking forward to the next booking!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since childhood. Growing up in my home country, my family owned a home where my parents encouraged us to learn how to care for animals. I developed a deep love for all kinds of furry friends and gained hands-on experience in their daily care. While pursuing my degree in the medical field, I also learned how to provide specific medical treatments for pets. I believe that as humans, we have a responsibility to care for and protect other living creatures. I’ve even cared for stray animals, making sure they felt loved and safe. When your furry family member stays with me, I’ll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved—so much so that they might not even notice you’re away. My goal is to make your absence feel short and sweet for them) Because of a family situation, I’m unable to work full-time in the office, which makes my schedule flexible and ideal for side jobs, so I am looking for opportunities! I mostly travel to owners home, and do either walk/ drop in visited/ or staying over night with client’s pet, which might be the best environment for pets as it’s their territory and they feel much safer to be there!
“Xiaomeng was awesome with my G. She had so much fun! I got videos of walks and “everyday” adventures. She loves being with the owners dog and playing in the yard. Xiaomeng and her husband welcomed G and she loved the TLC. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!”
“Kizzie and her mom are just the greatest, they really do care for your pet. As a new pet owner with a hectic work schedule, I was beginning to thinking I made a mistake in adopting my beautiful kitten, Galaxy. Coming across Kizzie has been a blessing. Her home is beautiful, warm, and safe. She has designated area for your cats to roam and play. She gave me a peace of mind with detailed updates on Galaxy was doing as well as photos and videos. My cat doesn’t eat much which worried me a lot, I dropped off wet treats for her. Kizzie gave her the wet treats and her first wet food! She was generous enough to give me some extra cans for Galaxy to eat at home! I can’t recommend Kizzie enough, if you want your fur baby to be in a loving home where their well-being and enrichment is prioritized, Kizzie and her beautiful mom are it for you. Also, Kizzie does have a cat herself. Beware, he will steal your heart ?.”
“Casey has truly changed how we feel about leaving our elderly dog in a sitters care. She provides a loving and safe home for our anxious old man to relax, reliably issues his many medications, keeps us updated with pictures and texts, and takes away our own anxiety that comes with leaving a pet for week+ travel. Petey absolutely loves Casey (and Ron!), and I could not recommend her more!”
“Mengyuan and Matt are great sitters. I could tell by my dog’s mood in the days following that she was happy and cared for and seemed in great spirits. I left my baby with them for 10 nights and I can’t thank them enough for helping me have peace of mind while away for that long. This was my second experience with Mengyuan and I would absolutely recommend!”

Diana took great care of Rudy during his stay. Her communication was clear and consistent throughout, and the regular photo updates were really appreciated. Rudy got along very well with her dog, Watson, and seemed to especially enjoy lounging on the decks and out in the garden. It made being away completely stress-free, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Diana again.
Bianca was an amazing sitter for our dog and we would happily ask her to sit our dog again anytime! She provided detailed updates and photos regularly, so we never had to worry about how our dog was doing. He came back pampered and happy as if he was on vacation himself. Thanks, Bianca!
Elan was amazing! Daily pictures while I was away and kept me updated on anything going on. The last day my dog bulldozed through some bushes (which she does often) getting a few cuts on her head and neck. Elan disinfected them and sent photos and a description of what happened, very professional! Would trust my dog with her anytime.
Thanks always for taking such great care of Buffy! She is getting so used to you and I got such a kick out of how unphased she was when we dropped her off. I'm sure she also appreciated all of the snuggle time especially with the loud motorcycles. She'll be ready for the bigger trip.
Sophia and Bryan took great care of our little guy and affordable. We felt that he was very safe and well cared for. I like that they only take one pup at a time. Our pup got along great with their cat and they would lay around and nap together. They sent us pictures and updates so we knew he was in good hands. Will definitely use them again!
Jenna did a wonderful job watching Pico for a few days! She was very responsive while watching him and constantly gave us picture and videos. Jenna was able to watch him on short notice and even took special care of his post-op needs. Pico also had a lot of fun playing with Jenna’s pup, Orca!
We always feel so at peace leaving our family pup w/ Todd, Honey, and the rest of their loving family! Todd is a true dog whisperer! I appreciate how he listens to our own rules for pup, follows them, and then builds on them. Our pup comes home completely happy, tired, and I can tell, missing pal Honey in days after.

There are 6,041 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mercer Island. About 91% of Mercer Island sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
