“Awesome! Erika was super helpful, accommodating and very communicative! We got almost daily pictures of Luna which was amazing and Erika was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our pup came back from a week with her very happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Andreea was great with our dog Manny. We met with Andreea before we left on a week long trip so she could meet Manny and sniff around a little so it was less shocking when we left. We received pictures from Andreea during his stay so we could see what he was up to. Super easy process and will be using Andreea again!”
“Thanks for taking care of Oliver like he is your own dog. We did not feel missing him with your updates regarding his meals and pictures. He really seemed like enjoyed all the walks.”
“Our dog Maggie loved staying with Ingrid! Maggie doesn’t much like other dogs or animals but loves people and laps. Maggie was treated to plenty of walks and we had daily updates which were much appreciated. Ingrid’s set up and attention fit the bill!”
“Taylor is great with dogs. My nervous-old-man of a pup received extra comfort while settling in the first night, and after that, he was glued to Taylor the rest of the stay. Barkley had walks and lots of outdoor time, sunbathing. He came home thoroughly wiped out, but looking content. Taylor took me aside to talk about Barkley's arthritis on pickup, which I appreciated. We already have a plan with the vet to tackle it, but to see him care so much about Barkley that he wants to ensure he's living his best life was heartwarming. It seems like Taylor and his house are very dog-first.”
“Erin and her husband were incredible! Lea was loved and spoiled and taken care of like she was family! Our flights back were delayed 2 days and it was such a relief knowing I didn't have to worry about Lea because she was in such good hands. I looked forward to the pictures and videos and it made me feel so connected to her. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to be watching my baby dog.”
“We are SO happy we found Jeanne. It was our first time using Rover.com and the longest vacation we've taken since having our dog Max, so felt very anxious about how he'd be with us away for 10 days. Jeanne welcomed him for all of those days/nights and took great care of him, obviously making him part of her household with Ivy and their other furry friends. He seemed very content and comfortable in her home and yard, and each photo we received from her while we were away made our day, as they showed he was busy and enjoying himself, and/or simply worn out and happily snoozing with new friends. We'll definitely make Jeanne our first choice next time we need a sitter!”
“Katie and Quixem were awesome! They asked plenty of questions during our meet and greet which provided a great deal of confidence. The home environment seemed very safe and welcoming. I felt very pleased with my entire experience and I’d happily use Katie and Quixem’s services again.”
“Stephanie was great! Super communicative and helpful with my senior dog who needed a some extra care. I booked for day care and had check ins to see what was needed each day. I knew I could trust her with everything including ensuring medication was given when needed.”
“This was our first time using Rover service and we were a bit nervous. Helen took great care of our shy pup, he came home very happy. I would feel very comfortable leaving him with Helen again.”
“Vanessa was amazing taking care of my dog, Moxie over the holidays! Taking her on activities, sending tons of pictures every day, and just generally including her in the family activities! We'll definitely use Vanessa again!”
“Koching is incredible! She sent photos regularly and made sure our dog River had the best time over the weekend. Walks, runs, playing fetch - River was spoiled! It was so nice knowing she was being well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking with Koching.”
“We don’t love leaving our four legged buddy behind… But when we need to, we have total confidence in Courtney! She takes such good care of him! He’s a pretty anxious dog, but never anxious with her and never has any recovery time when he comes home from being in her care. She gives me regular updates and photos which also puts my mind at ease.. She’s a gem!!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog, Boba, with Aletya for several nights. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and proactive. She suggested setting up a meet-and-greet with her own very kind dogs ahead of time so everyone could get to know each other. That made drop-off day incredibly smooth and stress-free. While we were away, Aletya sent several pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear Boba was having a great time and was well cared for. She even did fun activities with the dogs, like dog-safe bubbles, which was such a cute and thoughtful touch. We felt completely confident and comfortable leaving Boba in Aletya’s care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and responsible dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Loved having Emily watch our 2 dogs for the weekend while we visited family. They came back tired and happy. I was a little anxious leaving them since I hadn't in over a year she made sure to send lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend! Will definitely have our dogs stay with her anytime we are out of town!”
“Kari was wonderful with Cooper! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on regular walks, shared photo updates, and made sure he felt completely at home. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. We’re so grateful for the attention she gave him—Cooper came back relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Kari to anyone looking for a warm, responsible, and attentive sitter!”
About: New to Rover, Not New to Pet Care! I'm new to Rover, but certainly not new to animals! I've spent nearly 40 years loving, raising, fostering, and caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I can't imagine it any other way. ### Experience That Goes Beyond Traditional Pet Sitting Over the years, I've fostered numerous dogs, cats, kittens, and even rats through Marin Humane. I also volunteered with their veterinary service, where I was responsible for administering medications to dogs and cats receiving veterinary care, including oral medications and injections, as well as providing medicated baths and other treatments. I've bottle-fed newborn kittens, fostered kittens with ringworm, and cared for senior animals requiring additional attention and medications. Through my own pets and volunteer experience, I've learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding each animal's individual needs can be. Dogs, Cats, Chickens & Other Critters! My experience extends beyond dogs and cats. I've also cared for chickens, rabbits, rats, other rodents, and small caged animals. I know that every animal has unique needs, whether that's a dog who loves adventures, a shy cat who needs time to warm up, or a small animal who thrives on a familiar routine. I'm happy to care for households with multiple types of pets, so you don't have to find separate sitters for everyone. Every Pet Has Their Own Personality Some dogs love long walks and outdoor adventures, while others are happiest snuggled up on the couch. Some cats want to be involved in everything you're doing, while others prefer a little independence. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality, habits, and favorite things. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, medications, or simply a quiet presence, I'll do my best to make their time away from you comfortable and enjoyable. I have a particularly soft spot for senior animals and understand that they often need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more TLC. Safety, Trust & Communication I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My animals have always been family, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention. I'm comfortable following medication schedules, special feeding instructions, and established routines. I'm also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels that might indicate something isn't quite right. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. Let's Meet! Whether you have an energetic puppy, a senior dog, a cuddly cat, backyard chickens, or a collection of little critters, I'd love to meet them! I may be new to Rover, but I bring nearly 40 years of hands-on experience, a great deal of patience, and a lifelong love of animals. Your pets are family, and that's exactly how I'll treat them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I can accommodate different routines and schedules to help keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I understand how important familiar routines are and take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing.
“Emily and her family were absolutely lovely! Simon got lots of love, cuddles, and walks and enjoyed playing with their dog, Winston. Emily sent frequent updates and photos, so I knew my baby was thriving while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their fur-babies.”
“Danti took wonderful care of our corgi. Butterscotch boarded with Danti for several nights and had a great time. She really enjoyed their large yard and having a few other friends to play with while she was there. Will definitely book with Danti again in the future.”

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 Rockdale 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 Rockdale.
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 Rockdale 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.
