“Peewee loves going to Shadie’s house for his own vacation. He always has a wonderful time playing with new friends and I know he’s in a safe place. Shadie is always great about communication before and during our trips and sends such adorable photos of our dog during his stay.”
“Britta was an amazing sitter. Our dog needs special attention because of her allergies and Britta was very receptive to her needs. Millie had a great time playing with Olive.”
“Finn had a wonderful time with Emma and her dogs. Her house and yard were set up to cater to our active dog. She provided frequent and specific feedback and was so willing to work with him even when he had a few issues. It is obvious that she loves dogs and wants them to have a happy visit! We already have our next visit booked.”
About: I have cared for a variety of breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I've helped train puppies, given medications, and helped anxious dogs remain calm while with us. As a family, we adapt to each pet and pet parent's requests including timing/ frequency of meals, giving medications and only food provided as needed, activities/ walks the dog prefers, crating (or not), and other things that helps them feel comfortable. I work part time and volunteer while my kids are in school. We are home most evenings and days, we have some activities but we're back early in the evening. I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood that doesn't have any traffic noise (there is some daytime construction but it hasn't concerned any of our guests yet). I have a spot for their bed that is central to most of our activities so they can observe and relax. Most like the big front window to watch the street from. The girls do a lot of ball throwing, tug of war, and treat hide and seek. They also like to make treats (when pet parents allow) and reward them for responding to commands. I don't allow them to feed dogs anything on their own.
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great! We boarded our dog for the first time with strangers and he was understandably a bit anxious (and so were we). But they were great hosts and very responsive and extremely responsible. Pepper was a gracious host. Felix had a great time overall!”
“My 2 boy dachshunds spent a 4 day weekend with April. She is the sweetest lady. She gave them the greatest care, (better than home). Their house is set up very well for watching dogs. She sent me daily updates with picture which I really appreciated.”
“Very impressed with the level of care given to our dog. If I can speak for our dog, Molly, she seemed to have a really good time. We will be a repeat customer and can't recommend enough!”
“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
“Tosha was great, she was a great communicator and let us know how Nellie was doing with photos and a video during her stay. I especially loved seeing Nellie playing with her own little dogs, and having a great time. Tosha was prepared and organized, I was impressed at the notes she took and questions she asked me about Nellie to make sure she would be comfortable and well taken care of. She did a great job and I highly recommend her.”
“Chom Chom had a wonderful stay with Heath & Amy! They made sure he had plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles. Chom got a lot well with all the other pups and had a great time!”
“I’m glad we chose Shane to watch our dog on 4th of July. He is a nervous boy around fireworks and gets scared. He seemed comfortable right on drop off and excited to play with another dog. He was tired when he got back home from all the play- and that’s a good thing. Would definitely book again.”
“Dana and Mark were great! Lots of great communication (with cute puppy pics) and clear expectation setting beforehand. Their home is PUPPY HEAVEN, and I was so glad that Tate had an opportunity to play and romp with their three pups while he was in their care. Thank you, Dana and Mark!”
“David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is speedy in his replies, kind and compassionate with my elder Great Dane and I will definitely be rebooking him in the future.”
“This was the first time we left our Boston Terrier with Jeannie, and we had a wonderful experience. Oreo came back all smiles. Jeannie is a gentle and lovely lady with a ton of love for her own dogs and her clients' pets. Thank you for everything, Jeannie—keep up the good work! We hope to use your services again soon.”
“Wonderful experience all around, communicative, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every concern and habit was listened to and my puppy had a wonderful fun-filled, active and loving time with the other dogs and family members.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minnehaha
April and her husband were amazing. They took her on short notice including a meet and greet. They understood her and her quirkiness and energy level. April gave updates on Esther’s stay, incredible communication if needed anything and regularly sent fun pictures. We will not hesitate to book April in the future. Amazing caregiver!!!!
Moira watched my pup, Keiko, for 5 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog can be stressful, but Moira went above and beyond to make sure Keiko felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. She sent tons of pictures and video updates throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. Keiko was so well cared for, happy, and settled! I will definitely be booking with Moira again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy dog sitter.
Sandy and her husband were so great. They gave our dog such great care and sent pics and videos. Great communication. You can tell they truly love animals and they have an amazing backyard. My dog felt comfortable with them really quickly and I will definitely be a return customer.

Francis, Stacy and Maverick took great care of our pup. They sent pics everyday with updates which was greatly appreciated. We can tell our dog was given lots of love and care as he came home a happy boy. We highly recommend Francis and Stacy and hope to use them again.
Danielle and her partner are super sweet, friendly, responsible and thorough when it came to my dog’s care. It was her first time away from me and they made me feel very comfortable and confident that she was well taken care of! I appreciate that they let her on the furniture because she’s a snuggle bug :) Will definitely book with them again in the future!
Jared was super kind and helpful! It was my first time leaving my doggie anywhere overnight and I was anxious, but Jared kept me updated with texts and photos during the stay. He adapted to what my dog needed at the time and made sure she was comfortable. I'm super grateful for this wonderful first experience and will definitely be booking with Jared again.

Elaine was amazing with my puppies! Her home and yard were clean and she was very communicative before and during the visit. She kept me updated with videos during the day which I really appreciated. My dogs had so much fun and were worn out by the time I picked them up. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Elaine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Minnehaha 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 Minnehaha.
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.
You and your Minnehaha 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.
