“Saisoi is awesome! My boys quickly warmed up to her and I appreciate that she sent me photo updates throughout the day. It's clear she is an animal lover and that my dogs were comfortable staying with her. We will be re-booking Saisoi soon!”
“Kris is so wonderful! I had a very last minute change of plans and she was able to host my pup the next morning. 3 acres of fenced yard is just heaven for dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving my pup there! Their little Rosie and my pup Freyja played so much and I got to take home a veryyyyyy exhausted puppy after a long day of work. I will DEFINITELY be going back.”

“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.”
About: My daughter and I are looking to help make your pets day better. We are highly active and excited to help out in any way. We would love at home visits, short or long walks. Even trail runs are on the table! I was raised on a hobby farm and comfortable with all dogs of any size. My daughter is ambitious and would like to get into dog sitting as she gets older. She is currently saving up to get her own goats. I will always be present and my daughter will only be there to help I recently sold a business and am now taking a few years to focus on my kids and helping out. My schedule is fairly flexible. Ideally my daughter will join me as much as possible. She loves animals and pampers them as much as possible. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for your dog. We have a fenced yard where our dog runs around. He spends most of his time indoors though. We live on a half acre so lots of room to run around and play.

“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.”
“Yvonne took such good care of my pup, she is knowledgeable and super willing to work with his quirks and training needs! She makes sure to give such detailed reports of how they spend their day and she gives him great exercise! She also sends lots of photo updates!”
“Chelsea provided us a safe, secure daycare option for our two dogs - one of which is quite fearful and difficult to board at most facilities. Our 'troubled friend' came home happy, along with his generally well-adjusted pack-mate who also did not appear stressed at all. We have already booked two more visits with Chelsea and couldn't be happier with the service that she provides.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love spending time with them. I now have more time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for dogs who need some TLC. I had a senior pug who sadly rent over the rainbow bridge last year. The last few years she was with me, I had to give her medication, take care of her eyes and give her a special diet. I also had a lab who developed cancer and needed medication and a special diet. I feel I would be a perfect person to care for special needs dogs. I am retired so I have time to care for your pet from my home with frequent walks and/or bathroom breaks around our 5 acre property. I live on 5 acres. I do not have a fenced yard but take multiple walks throughout the day so your dog would be safely walked on a leash.
About: I’ve been enamored with animals my entire life. They add an element of joy and peace that nothing else has come close to. As a child I dedicated all of my time and allowance to my eclectic hobby farm complete with goats, chickens, ducks, numerous dogs and cats, rabbits, fish, birds and eventually horses. The amount of purpose animals have given me is indescribable and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. I am excited to be able to provide the level of care and attention I would want my own pets to receive when unable to be with them, and I am confident you will be happy with my service. I am a substitute at my children’s school, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your precious pets, too! I currently have two senior kitties that require a little extra TLC, a rescue dog, and I ride horses multiple times a week, so I’m no stranger to the world of animal care. I would love the opportunity to share my experience and passion with you and your animals! I understand the level of commitment and work pets require, and I promise to treat your animals as if they were my very own. Can’t wait to meet you! I have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule to walk your dogs and snuggle your kitties! I currently have a very part-time job, but I enjoy being busy, active and outside! I love to walk outdoors, rain or shine, and enjoy nothing more than a long stroll with a cute pup. I’m obsessive when it comes to my own animal’s health and well being. Keeping your pet safe, secure and happy is my number one priority. I take time frames, requests, and special needs very seriously, and you can trust me to do everything in my power to meet your dog or cat’s needs, whatever they may be.
“Leslie took great care of my Nikki. She has never been at daycare and loved it very much especially the homecooked meal that Leslie prepares for her dogs. What a great place . I will bring Nikki back to Leslie anytime and highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 14years old, I would often be playfull with the dogs most of the time, the dogs won't feel bored. I prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets happy while their owners are away. I juggle part-time flight training. I have flexible hours, especially on weekends, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I do have a fenced garden to have a short walk around for dogs that are anxious on walking outdoors. I do have a balcony space which can be utilised if the dog needs a fresh air and scenic loving being.

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 163 sitters in Northwood, 88% 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.
