“Sarah was able to get Levi in last minute due to a family emergency. Levi spent an a week having the time of his life. Sarah does amazing with daily updates and photos and is very quick to reply to your messages. Very happy with the care Levi receives, I don’t have any worries leaving him in her hands!”
“Cynthia did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”
“Nicole was so great!! I felt really comfortable leaving my dog at her house overnight. She seems like an absolute pro, is a phenomenal communicator, and my dog was so happy. Would absolutely send my dog to her again!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“We had both our dogs stay overnight to help them acclimate for a longer vacation we’re taking soon. Amanda did a great job of slowly introducing our dogs to hers and providing us with updates on how our dogs were doing. Looking forward to having her watch our dogs during our vacation.”
“Kelsey is amazing, my demi was having a lot of separation anxiety and she helped handle it so I could enjoy my vacation!!! Definitely recommend her over and over again and hope to use her again if we need to!!!! 10 STARS ?”
“Sheena took great care of our 4-month old puppy and 4-year old Moodle. We did a meet and greet and our nervous puppy liked her immediately. During our trip, we got pictures and updates whenever we asked for them as Sheena responded quickly. When we picked them up, we got a full report of everything they did with a wonderful update on eating, playing, pooping, etc. Sheena is very experienced and provided dog and child socialization for our puppy in a safe and structured environment. The pups came home tired, well-behaved, and very happy. As a bonus, we paid Sheena to do a little nail trimming since she is a professional groomer as well. Highly recommend Sheena and we will certainly be back!”
“Ashley helped us out on a very short term basis. She took really good care of our dog Dobby that suffers separation anxiety. We corresponded throughout the booking and it seems that Dobby got over the anxiety and played with the other doggies and humans. Dobby seemed to be in great spirits when I picked her up. We would trust our dog with Ashley anytime.”
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.
“Katie is awesome! She has a whole house of animal lovers so your companion will always have someone to cuddle and play with. She was willing to take my puppy, Toulouse, last minute on two occasions in one week! She was great about sending updates through texts and pictures too. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“My doodle, Emma, had her first overnight stays with Rachael. I was nervous as she had never been away from me. But the photos showed that she was a happy camper, enjoying time with her other dog friends in a great environment! It's a bit of a drive to her place, but she and her family took great care of Emma. I am happy to have a dog caretaker for the next time!”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”
“Angela and her family are the best! I am so grateful to have found her and I always feel good and safe when I leave my precious pup in her care. She’s worth every cent!”
“Sheri and Bill were wonderful with Annie and Freddie. They sent me wonderful pictures and videos of their time together and spoiled my fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe and being treated like a member of their family. I highly recommend them for the care of your furry family member and will definitely be using them again.”
“Teri is Amazing. Kind, gentle and very caring. I highly recommend her. Addie told me she never wants to go anywhere else!! Thank you so much Teri. Nikki and Addie”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“April knew exactly what my pup needed. As a “still in training” young dog, she reinforced the skills we were already learning and kept him engaged. She has a great indoor space and safe backyard for dogs. We received frequent updates and it was clear he very much enjoyed his stay.”
“Sheri is a great sitter! She watched our energetic young Lab while we were on our honeymoon. She sent us photos of our dog every day, which we loved. She kept our pup busy, walking her often and playing fetch in the backyard. We arranged a meet-and-greet with her beforehand, so our dog could meet her dog, and that helped put our minds at ease. Sheri asked many questions during the meet-and-greet, and we could tell that she cared a lot. We recommend Sheri highly, and we would definitely use her as a sitter again.”

I booked a sitter last minute, just one day before, and I’m so grateful I was still able to find someone who could care for Ryler. She was wonderful with him and kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and texting me to let me know how he was doing. The pictures were especially reassuring because I could see that Jacx was having fun, getting plenty of attention, and being well cared for. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciate her communication, care, and kindness toward Jacx. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾❤️
I had such a wonderful experience having my dog Indy cared for by Kendra! She watched Indy for 7 days at her home and provided excellent care. I really appreciated the daily updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Indy was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Indy like one of her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! 💯 💯💯
Kevin and Mandy were awesome with my little dog, Leo! We did a meet and greet where I could tell my dog felt comfortable in their space and around their cats… then during my trip, they texted me photos of naps and adventures…I was secretly worried Leo wouldn’t want to come home 😂 I could tell Leo had a blast and was in good hands. So grateful and will definitely book a Leo “vacay” again as the need arises 🙏
Haley is so great with our dog. I was nervous to leave him with someone else as he’s older and has some issues, but Haley is caring, patient and understanding. She also always sends us updates, too, which I love. Thank you for taking care of Pyro like you’re own ❤️
We had such a wonderful experience with Brianna! She boarded our two dogs for several days and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent update photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was incredibly attentive to all of their needs. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Brianna was accommodating, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dog care!
We are so grateful to Dana and her family for taking such great care of Milo. They treated him like part of their own family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Milo was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. We truly appreciate the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely trust them again!
Fantastic sitters/boarders with my 2 large Great Pyrenees at their home. They came back healthy, joyous, and happy and really enjoyed themselves at the doggy resort that is their home. Louis and his wife also came to my home to attend my 2 cats who were also healthy and happy upon our return. They are my first choice as long as they are available!

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.
95% of sitters in Oak Harbor can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Oak Harbor 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 Oak Harbor.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oak Harbor 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.
