“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
“So appreciate Justin's care for Lucas for 5 nights. It's obvious he loves dogs, and wants to make sure they are comfortable and happy, which helped us enjoy the time away more. Justin was a great communicator and sent us regular photos and reports while Lucas was with him. We would recommend him as a good and reliable dog sitter. Thanks, Justin!”
“Eileen and Jeff take such good care of our dog - she gets lots of walk, yard, and play time. She runs to their door when we drop her off and always comes home a very happy and calm dog.”
“Alton and Valerie took good care of our pooch. He is an older dog and needed extra attention. They kept us up to date with pictures and lots of updates, which was appreciated!”
“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Kate will always be the first person we call when we need someone to care for Otto! She is always prompt at responding when booking her. Otto is always excited to see Kate and her family and always exhausted when he comes home so I know he had fun playing with his buddy(s).”
“Nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Sophia. She sent regular updates, took him on walks daily, and played with him. Highly recommend Sophia for all your pet care needs. Thanks again Sophia our family appreciates you!”
“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Megan is pretty much... amazing! Penny has found her second home with Megan and her family. I never worry for Penny and I always know she is having a great time going on lots of walks, playing frisbee, and being loved. I totally recommend using Megan for your next rover house!”
“Carly & Kenny have taken care of my dog several times over the past year. When he sees Carly he instantly gets excited! They treat him like family, provide updates throughout his stay, and make him feel at home. It is so comforting he is in great hands when we are away. I highly recommend them!”
“Cheyenne was a great choice for Zion! She welcomed Zion into her home like she was a part of the family and even sent her home with a cute bag of treats! Once home, Zion was very relaxed and calm (which isn't common for her after being away from us). Cheyenne was very responsive with communication and sent great pics often. I would 100% book with her again.”
“Hannah was the perfect dog sitter for our pups! She is very attentive, communicates concisely and clearly, and overall, a fantastic sitter. I was nervous to leave one of my pups because he is so shy, but Hannah did such a great job with him and he eventually broke out of his shell and became comfortable with her. I appreciate her sending updates and pictures of the pups while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Hannah for your dog sitting needs!”
“Erika was great communicating with us before booking and answering questions. I’m sure my puppy had a great time with her and her dogs. Erika sent pictures while my puppy was at her house and contacted me with questions. We will definitely use her services again when visiting Post Falls, ID.”
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
“Chantel was a great dog sitter! She kept us constantly updated with pictures and info. We will definitely be bringing Jester back next time we need a pup sitter. 😊”
“I would give Adrienne and her daughter 1000 stars if I could! They were so incredible from start to finish. They sent me updates on my pup and helped me to feel so at peace while I was out of town. Definitely book with them!”
“Roxie had a blast on her overnight with Carolyn and Sarah. And we had a night away without worrying about anything. We knew Roxie was safe and well taken care of. It was a bonus that they had a new puppy so Roxie had 24 hours of non-stop play! I highly recommend them. Thank you!”
“Julissa did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs! She was able to provide oral medications and insulin shots, as well as feed them on a schedule. I received many pictures and videos of the dogs, and it was clear that they were happy and well cared for with her. She communicated quickly and was able to work with my schedule. I would definitely have her watch my dogs again.”

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 Rockford 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 Rockford.
<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 Rockford 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.
