“Milana & Oleg were great as always. It’s basically ours Tony second home as it’s clear that he is extremely happy there. We can rest assured that he is being taken care of with love every time we have to travel.”
“Quang was flexible with pickup time, which was very much appreciated with my early morning schedule! My pup looked like she was having a good time playing with the other doggies, and I received updates three times a day with photos. & my pup looked super cute with her ladybug bandana gifted by Quang when we picked her up!”
“Our dogs had a great time this weekend with Quentin! He was very responsive and provided great updates throughout the boarding. Would definitely have him watch our dogs again”
“Rosalind was amazing with dog sitting my Shiba inu. He is a very high energy dog and she was able to make him feel right at home. Pictures were always provided and she'd frequently take him on dog walks. I believe he enjoyed his stay and would certainly book another boarding with Rosalind in the future, very appreciative of her help and service with caring for my dog for several weeks.”
“Lulu had a blast with Olivia and was well taken care of. We loved all the great photo and video updates. Olivia is super friendly and responsive. Thank you for watching Lulu over the weekend!”
“This was Sassy’s first stay with Kaylie. She did great! Kaylie communicates quickly and often. She sent pictures and a video. Even though I could see that Sassy was really happy to see me, she was also clearly very comfortable with Kaylie. Major relief! Strong recommend!”
“Nikki did a fantastic job with Chimi! We had some last minute changes with him getting an infection, and she was so easy to communicate with, gave him his meds, and sent the best updates all weekend. I could tell he felt right at home!”
“Bodhi has the BEST time with Ketaki. I could not ask for better care. She is absolutely amazing-taking Bodhi for regular walks, giving him so much love and sending me great updates all the time! Your pup would be lucky to stay with her! 🩷🩷🩷”
“Anhelina is the best cat sitter! She’s watched my cat, Simon, three times now, and every experience has been amazing. She sends me daily photo updates, is always quick to respond, and truly cares about Simon’s well-being. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Shay is kind and a great communicator. She sent pictures every day. Lily had a great time watching the birds and squirrels in Shay’s yard. I could tell Lily felt comfortable and she had such a great time, she didn’t really even want to come home!😂”
“Xiaomeng was an excellent babysitter for Cosmo! She was friendly, attentive, and ensured he was well cared for throughout his time with her. Cosmo had a great experience playing in her lovely backyard, which provided a safe and enjoyable environment. I appreciate her professionalism and the warm approach she had with him. I would highly recommend Xiaomeng for anyone looking for reliable and caring babysitting services!”
“Laila was Amazing! She shared photos and videos that made me feel so relaxed and comfortable as this was the first time I've been away from my baby. I highly recommend Laila!”
“Rand took incredible care of our dog! He’s a big, energetic chocolate lab and Rand kept him safe, fed, and so happy! We will absolutely be coming back to her as long as she’s available!”
“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”
“I would recommend L&L to anyone looking to get care for their beloved! Excellent communicators! So great with my doggo! Super accommodating and easy to work with! Can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Meagan was fantastic. My pup Denny had a great time, lots of play time, walks, she shared photos throughout the trip. Communication was great! She will be our new go to sitter in Seattle!”
“Julie (aka SJ) is wonderful. I have an older, somewhat neurotic little dog who I thought only had eyes for me, but when I picked him up he didn’t want to leave, he has a new love! Super communicative, above and beyond - she’s the best.”
“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”

Our rescue dog, Liam, has stayed for 3 extended visits (averaging ~ a week each). He's had excellent care. No kennel. He sleeps on his own pillow. He's had some reactivity issues in the past while guarding "his space", but Elan has been very good at making him feel at home and he's had no issues while in her care with other dogs. She sends frequent updates and pictures and is very responsive to questions that might arise.
Bianca was an absolute lifesaver! After our previous sitter canceled last minute right before an out-of-state trip, we were incredibly stressed about finding someone qualified. Thankfully, we found Bianca's profile, and she immediately put our minds at ease by arranging a virtual meet-and-greet. She took amazing care of our dog, George, and is a fantastic communicator. Every day, she sent detailed updates, activity summaries, and plenty of photos where George looked completely happy and content. He got tons of exercise on his walks, and it was obvious he was being loved and well-cared for. Bianca is so sweet, kind, and genuinely thoughtful about George’s well-being. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, highly recommend her to anyone, and will absolutely book with her again!
We really appreciate Peter and his family taking such good care of Birdy. This was the second time Birdy has stayed with Peter and it definitely feels like a home from home for her. She seemed genuinely excited when I dropped her off and she had a great time doing the things she loves, playing ball and going to the lake. You can tell Peter genuinely enjoys spending time with her.
Milana and Oleg were so good to my two dogs, they weren’t in a rush to go home when I picked them up. I don’t leave them very often so I was a bit apprehensive but I had no worries as they took such good care of them. Milana is a great communicator and sent photos and updates daily. I will def reach out for future stays for the girls.
We highly recommend Elise and James! Mozzie took an immediate liking to them and clearly had a blast staying with them. We got frequent updates and they were very conscious of Mozzie’s strict IBD diet requirements. They couldn’t have taken better care of him while we were gone and gave him lots of love and attention. He was sad to leave when it came time for pickup! We will definitely use them in the future!
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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
