“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.”

She contacted us right away when she had a concern about our older dog, and she did all the right things to care for her. I'm very grateful for Susan!”

“Cade was a fantastic Rover. He was on top of his communication, has a great property that our dog was able to enjoy, and was really flexible. We ran into a problem where our travel plans were delayed and Cade was happy to let our dog stay another night. I would highly recommend Cade to watch your dog and will be rebooking next time we need a rover.”

“Walter and Angela were great with my 4 year old dog. When I picked my dog up she was happy and tired out. I boarded my girl with them for 2 nights. Walter went out of his way to take my pup on adventures around the neighborhood, and to play her favorite game (chase and fetch). Walter sent a lovely video of my dog enjoying the safety of their super nice enclosed backyard while they played chase. He was also very responsive to my texts. My pup got so much love and attention while she stayed there. I will book with Walter again.”

“DJ had a great stay! I really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the nine days, Denise and Paul gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They were also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made things much easier for me. They took good care of DJ, made sure he had his food warmed up, and even went out and bought apples for him when I accidentally left his at home. I really appreciated the extra thoughtfulness. DJ seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up, and it was clear that he was well looked after. Thank you for taking care of my little guy while I was away! 🐾🥰🐾”

“Nathan and Elise were wonderful. We met with them both and had our pup go over for a trial day, then when everything went well, signed him up for a full stay. We got pictures of our guy having a ball he even got bathed and brushed! They were super relaxed, flexible on drop off and pick up times and location and even had previous experience with german shepherds. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend!”

“My boyfriend and I are new puppy parents and we weren't exactly sure on how daycare works... when I saw that Ciara has a farm, we knew it would be a perfect familiar to our fur baby girl so we contacted Ciara. She was so easy going and knowledgeable, and to our surprise, her partner and my boyfriend knew each other from all the way back when! It was a very reassuring and coincidental experience and that also helped ease our worry with our big baby girl. They were always updating us and keeping her safe 🥹 will definitely go back again!!”

“Awaneesh and family are amazing. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was quite nervous about it. From the start we set up a meet and greet and right away I felt confident that they would love and care for my dog. I was encouraged by the frequent updates and pictures. I highly recommend Awaneesh and will use again in the future.”

Saisoi was great with my puppy, Charlie. She went above and beyond to make sure he had a good number of walks, puzzle fun, playtime and snuggles. She had the tools for pup management (gates), all ready for him when he arrived for his stay. The updates were greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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 Northwood home-away-from-home, 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 Northwood.

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 Northwood 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 , 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 .

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.
