“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Maple returned home happy and exhausted from her stay with Tracy. I loved that she had lots of dog (& even a cat) friend to play with during her stay. Tracy is great with the animals and I felt very comfortable leaving Maple in her care.”
“Karina was very nice and communicative….. she took really good care of my Oreo, he came home very happy. I Would highly recommend her to care for your dog.”
“Zankhana was absolutely wonderful! Our dog got several walks every day, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to know he was happy and well taken care of. We already booked its next stay! 🐾❤️”
“Jeehyun is such a caring and loving dog sitter! Gwennie stayed at her place for one week and she had a great time there. Because Gwennie is almost blind, I was a little bit worried at beginning whether she would be able to adapt the new environment well. I was amazed that Gwennie did not show any signs of anxiety. She eats well, sleeps well and plays well with Mimi (Jeehyun's little dog). Jeehyun's two daughters Hana and Yoona are wonderful sitter assistants! They did a great job help taking care of Gwennie, training her and playing with her. We will definitely let Gwennie come back for another vacation in the future! Also, Jeehyun is a great communicator. She gave me update everyday about Gwen's activities. We had so much fun watching the photos and videos Jeehyun sent to me which allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worry on Gwennie. Thanks again Jeehyun and we really appreciate your excellent work!”

I received daily updates and pictures of my dog being walked and fed. My dog seemed content while staying with Tyler and returned home happy and well taken care of.

My dog is happy, clean and well taken care of.”

Margaret did a great job taking care of Callie.”

This was our second time leaving Cherry with Sarah and Benjamin. It was a long 2-week stay and they made sure to make Cherry and us comfortable. Great communication and daily updates kept our minds at ease. Cherry had loads of fun and got a lot of attention and snuggles. Would highly recommend!
Junie had the best time with Cathryn and we were happy that she was having a fun staycation while we were on vacation! Room to roam and gain independence, endless places to explore and a calm person who accepts all the wackiness that Aussies bring! Thanks for a great stay- we are so appreciative!

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 Novelty 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 Novelty.
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 Novelty 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.
