About: Pet Care Experience Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own two small dogs. My daily routine includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. I know every pet has unique needs, whether that means sticking to a routine, offering extra patience with shy or anxious dogs, or making sure energetic pups get the exercise and enrichment they need. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and personalized care throughout the day. I offer in-home daycare and overnight boarding in a safe, loving, and dependable environment. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I’ll keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can book with confidence. How I Care for Pets When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible by following your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. Because I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervised care throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I’ll also send regular photo updates and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“She was very welcoming and accommodating. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was able to keep him busy and provided helpful distractions. Saipan did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Garfunkel had a blast meeting Jennifer and spending her days playing with her and the other pups outside! Garfunkel is typically quite anxious, but Jennifer quickly put her at ease.”
“Nikhil and his partner Jharna took care of my dog like their own child. My dog is a husky mix and needs couple of hours a day for walks and calm atmosphere at home. They give her plenty of walks, ensure she is well fed. She used to be picky eater and they would make sure she eats her meals with food toppings. They regularly update us with how she is doing. Most importantly, they give her lots of love. They are great in communicating about confirmation and pick up. This is my second time boarding my dog with them and my dog comes back happy and relaxed. Thank you!”

“I can’t recommend this sitter enough! Shawn sends updates throughout the day and truly treated my dog like she was one of his own. My dog struggles with separation anxiety and she was actually bursting out of the car to go to this house. Shawn is super easy to communicate with and pickup/drop off were seamless. Simply a delight.”
“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company. Baxter is fairly energetic since he's just 1 yr old so Heather ensured that he had some outdoor play time as well. I would definitely recommend Heather and will likely book her again.”

About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.

“Lauren took wonderful care of our boys while we went to Vancouver for the day to ride bikes. It was great peace of mind to know they were safe, having fun, and were well taken care of while we were off doing our thing for the day. When we picked them up we could tell that they were happy and satisfied from a great day. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone in the area, or traveling through. If and when we come back, we’ll definitely bring our dogs to her again.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Northwood commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 164 sitters in Northwood, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
