“Barbara was great, she sent pictures while we were away, and I could tell she really cared. She answered all questions. Barbara's response was immediate, which is very nice when your doggie is somewhere else. Would book Barbara again. Dorrit Jensen”
“Kim was awesome!! She took great care of Jasmine and sent me pictures daily & was in constant communication. I could tell Jasmine was having a great time and getting a lot of love.”
“Elizabeth is great. Our GSD Chloe can be a lot, but with the daily walks and the perfect amount of dogs to play with Chloe came home happy and tired. Elizabeth was also super patient with Chloe and helped us figure out how to manage her nervous stomach while we were out of town. Super happy to leave Chloe with her pack!”
“Our 4 month old puppy stayed overnight and came home tired, but she obviously had a wonderful time with Conor and all the new dog friends she made! Conor kept us updated frequently all evening and even shared his dog food because our little girl is a picky eater! Thank you, Conor!”
“Beth is great! She was so accommodating. allowing me and Molly to visit her home a couple of additional times before the actual stay. That way, Molly could get acclimated to Beth's place. She sent pictures during the day, and couldn't have been nicer. Her home and yard are immaculate. And she is super organized! A real pleasure to work with her.”
“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 could not have found a better person to trust our pup with! Teri has thought of everything to ensure a safe, comfortable and fun stay for the dogs she cares for. This was the first time boarding our rescue dog, and she can’t wait to go back! Lots of pictures and updates to put your mind at ease.”
“Yuliia and her family were so sweet, flexible, and caring for my cat Lydian. She sent great updates and pictures and I was so relieved knowing my cat was surrounded by people who cared for her. Lydian seemed comfortable, healthy, and happy the whole time. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ai took care of our dog for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dog absolutely loved staying with her and her cats. Since he had never interacted with cats before, Ai introduced them gradually. She also has a separate space for the cats, which helped make the introductions safe and stress-free. She took our dog on regular walks, kept us updated with pictures, and was communicative and incredibly flexible the entire time. We always felt confident that he was in great hands. 10/10—highly recommend Ai to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Beth was wonderful! We booked pretty last minute and Beth was super responsive and very kind. We have a large dog who can be a bit of a handful sometimes and I feel like Beth was amazing and patient with her. We got daily updates and photos which warmed our hearts while we were on our trip. Thank you Beth!! 🫶🏻”
“Thank you for everything Chelsea! You take really good care of Mishka every time and I very much appreciate it. I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Melodie and her family took such great care of our pups! She sent photos several times during our trip so I was assured that Max and Daisy were not only ok but that they were having a wonderful time! I can't thank her enough!”
“Our dog had a blast and made a new best friend in Chelsea and Brian’s kid(s)! We got lots of pictures that showed just how well taken care of and how relaxed our dog was!”
“Reagen sent great photos of our dog during her stay, and was very kind and communicative. Our dog seemed super happy in all the pictures and was tuckered out when we picked her up. We will definitely have Pebbles stay with Reagen in the future if we go anywhere!”
“Darin took amazing care of our pup! This was our first sitter experience outside friends and family and it couldn't have gone better- he always responded quickly to messages, provided great updates throughout our booking, and our pup came home happy and tired after a ton of fun and attention from Darin + family. We look forward to booking with Darin again in the future!”
“We can't recommend Erin enough! She always takes such wonderful care of our dog, Benson. You can tell how much she genuinely loves animals, and she treats Benson like he's one of her own. She's incredibly attentive to his routine, follows his schedule carefully, and always makes sure he's happy and well cared for. Benson has the best time every time he stays with her and comes home happy, tired, and excited for his next visit. Her communication is outstanding, we always receive thoughtful updates and photos, and we never have to wonder how Benson is doing. Having that peace of mind while we're away means so much. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with our pup!”
“Mike is an excellent pet sitter and I would not hesitate to call on him again! He treated Fox like he was his own. He got plenty of walks and potty breaks, and individual attention he would not have had elsewhere. Fox loved his stay, no bones about it! Thank you, Mike, for taking such good care of our senior pup.”
“This was our first time to leave Datu at a private residence for care. He was thrilled but he also was not used to being away from us and yet despite his anxiety, Sheri and Bill were most kind and patient with Datu - We attended a funeral that was out of state and our minds were at ease that though Datu was a bit anxious that he was well loved and cared for as we saw many videos of him throughout his stay with them that reflected he was doing well. Beyond blessed and thankful for this couple -”

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 Port Discovery 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 Port Discovery.
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 Port Discovery 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.
