“Elaine took great care of our yoda. I got updates and pictures every couple of days. Elaine is very responsive and also assisted in potty training our yoda. Thank you Elaine & Husband.”
“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! :)”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our dog, Ruby, while we were out of town for a few days. Ruby had so much fun with Kelsey’s dogs and you could tell she instantly felt at home. Thank you so much for treating her like your own!”
“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I have always loved and had dogs in fact I have 2 now. Over the years I have dog sat for numerous friends and co-workers, either at my home or theirs. I can handle big or small dogs. Play time for dogs is just as important as exercise, and I love playing with them, whether that means throwing a ball, tug with a rope or squeaky toys. I'm the one at the party making friends with the dogs instead of people. I know you'll find my services helpful and I cant wait to meet your pup! I work from home full time M-F 6-3 so I can visit your home on my lunch break for a quick potty break or come by before or after my work day starts. If I'm boarding your dog, you can be confident they wont be left alone for long hours since I'm home all day. I can walk your dogs, give them potty breaks, play with them. I can feed cats, play and pet them and I can clean litter boxes if needed. If staying with me, we'll be sure they'll get a long with my pets. But if they meed thier own space, I have an rv hooked up and ready to use on site that can be used for alternate boarding space.
“Such a relief to find someone out in the county! Mckale was super accommodating, quick to respond, and the pupper had a great stay at her place. We'll be asking for pet sitting again in the future!!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”
“Britt was very friendly and accommodating. Colbie seemed very happy upon our return. She even lost a few pounds which was needed because Britt took her on so many walks. Colbie really enjoyed Britt's dog who was very nice.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! The boys were well cared for, had a wonderful place to stay, and got to romp and enjoy themselves while they were there. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer again in the future.”
“Jeremy was wonderful. He took great care of Maisie. He went above and beyond to make her comfortable in his home with his family and other pets. Excellent communication and lots of pictures.”
About: I’ve been around dogs, my whole life, starting with dog sitting for neighbors as a kid to now raising and training my own energetic lab/German Shepherd mix. I know how important is to trust someone with your pup and I bring that same love, attention, and structure to every dog I care for whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or quality time while your away, your dog will be in caring, capable hands. I work a full-time 8 to 5 job in Mount Vernon but I’m available for evening walks or job and visits during the week. I also have lots of flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays, so weekend care and visits are no problem. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep the routine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.

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.
96% of sitters in Minkler 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 Minkler 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 Minkler.
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 Minkler. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Minkler 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.
