“Once again, Sarah hits it out of the park!! We love having Sarah and family take care of our Lola. She loves it at their home and they do a really awesome job!! Highly recommend her!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Kimberly always take amazing care of our pup! She’s great about sending updates and pictures while we’re gone. Our dog loves her (seriously gets excited when we pull up to her house and runs up to her immediately). Thanks for everything!!”
“We just picked up our dogs and they’re SO tired! No weird dog smell and they seem so happy. We got pictures daily and loved to see our babes having fun. Very pleased with Rachael and fam and we’ll for sure use them again. 10/10 referring to everyone!”
“Matt and Sander watched Vanity for two nights. They are very kind, caring and truly are animal people. I felt very comfortable leaving our baby girl at their home. We got text messaged pictures showing Vanity playing at the park and having a good time. I would highly recommend Matt and Sander to other dog owners that want good quality sitters. Matt and Sander have now become our GO TO sitters. Thanks guys!”
“Barbara is great! Outstanding communication from start to finish. And most importantly, our quirky little Molly seemed immediately at home. She can be unpredictable in her eating and eliminating habits, and also needs a daily medication but Barbara was understanding, patient and took it all in stride and I was fully confident that Molly was in good hands and we could enjoy our pet free holiday. I highly recommend her and she will be our first choice to care for Molly.”
“Sheena and her family did a great job watching my 2 dogs for the week while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Sheena 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.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger and I feel so very lucky to have found Michael. He not only made me comfortable, he provided a wonderful environment for my dog. I'd go back in a second!”
“Kelsey was great! Her house and environment is so clearly set up for any dogs needs. Her kids were gentle and well dog informed! My dog has IBD and she was kind enough to give me details about her appetite, any GI upset, etc. She was communicative and available and really put my mind at ease! Would/will absolutely use her services in the future!”
“Our sitter Jan was marvelously accommodating!! Not only was she welcoming and considerate of all our dogs needs but was a genuinely sweet person. I could not recommend her more. Thank you Rover but mostly Jan!”
“Our dog had never been boarded before let alone away from us, so we didn’t know what to expect initially. He had a rough transition but David was so patient and accommodating, doing everything to make our dog as comfortable as possible while he adjusted. Our dog ended up doing great and we’re so grateful for David caring for him while we were away!”
“Sheri was great! They responded fast and sent updates throughout the day. Prior plans fell through so it was kind of last minute and they were fantastic with both my dogs.”
“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”
“Conner did a great job with my high energy pup. My boy was nervous since he hadn't been separated from me much previous to this trip. Conner is very experienced with dog behavior and took great care of my dog and provided lots of updates! He also took my dog out for a bunch of activities!”
“Angela is the best! I have used her a few times and I always know my dog is well cared for and having a great time. She is dependable and wonderful with dogs! I’m so glad I found her. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know! Thank you Angela!”
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”
“April was awesome! Pinky had a great time and we got pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and we were nervous, but we’re put at ease as soon as we arrived. And Pinky is now crate trained!! If we are ever in the area again, we would board with April!”

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.
92% of sitters in Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend.
<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 Port Townsend 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.
