“Kelly is amazing, I had some back and forth on whether I needed someone to watch my dog Sonny and she was incredibly patient and flexible with the whole process. She took amazing care of Sonny. I'm pretty picky about who he says with because he's kind of a handful. Very particular, needy dog sometimes and she was amazing with him. At the end of my trip my flight kept getting canceled and delayed and she was really patient and flexible yet again offering to keep him an extra night if needed which was really helpful while dealing with a stressful travel situation. I highly recommend Kelly, she is wonderful!”

Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!”

She took Tommy and her dogs to the dog park every day to get out energy. It felt like he was at summer camp! She even let Tommy sleep in the bed with her. I will definitely use her as my sitter from now on!”

The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby.

“Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time boarding our pup with someone other than close friends and we were pretty nervous, but we felt very comfortable after meeting with Jennifer. She kept us up-to-date on Pip's escapades with her own dogs, and made sure we had plenty of pictures of him having the time of his life. He even played with her dogs! (He's struggled with knowing how to play with other dogs since we adopted him). We absolutely recommend her to watch your pups!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my whole life. We currently own two small doodles. We have a fully fenced yard and pet friendly home. Our dogs are a part of own family and want to welcome yours while you go have fun. Between my husband and I someone is always home. We have alternate schedules. We are both home at night and ready to care for your pet loved ones. We will follow the needs of the pet owners. If they are crate trained we can continue with that if they sleep in the home we can also do that. We have a giant fenced yard for lots of exercise.

Leaving Lady and Luna for 10 days while we were on vacation made me so nervous, but Tami and her family made them feel completely at home from the very beginning. They welcomed our girls like they were their own — taking them on walks, sending us sweet pictures and updates, brushing them, giving them treats, and even letting them cuddle up and relax on the couch with the family. Lady especially loved all the extra babying and attention! Our dogs also adored their dog, so they had a built-in friend the entire stay. While we were away, Luna developed a hot spot and Tami went above and beyond by treating it right away and helping her start to heal before we even got home. That level of care meant so much to us and gave us incredible peace of mind knowing our girls were truly loved and cared for. We will absolutely be using Tami again and can’t recommend her enough!

Gae G. took wonderful care of our puppy, Tucker, and was very responsive to my messages. She also sent daily pictures and updates. It was clear Tucker was having the best time with Gae and Steve, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It gave us so much comfort knowing Tucker was happy, safe, and well cared for; they treated him like he was their own. We also appreciate her flexibility with pickup and drop off times and the smooth, easy process. We would absolutely book with Gae again and highly recommend her! Thank you Gae and Steve!

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 Minter 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 Minter.

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 Minter 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.
