“Emily & Eric were both friendly and very understanding to my dog’s personality and needs. They took great care of Zuri! I would have them care for Zuri again! THANK YOU.”
“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”
“Abra and her family took incredible care of our pup Maui and we are so grateful! They even helped him through a super scary thunder storm with love and compassion. Thank you so much!”
“Danielle and her partner are super sweet, friendly, responsible and thorough when it came to my dog’s care. It was her first time away from me and they made me feel very comfortable and confident that she was well taken care of! I appreciate that they let her on the furniture because she’s a snuggle bug :) Will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
About: I have cared for a variety of breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I've helped train puppies, given medications, and helped anxious dogs remain calm while with us. As a family, we adapt to each pet and pet parent's requests including timing/ frequency of meals, giving medications and only food provided as needed, activities/ walks the dog prefers, crating (or not), and other things that helps them feel comfortable. I work part time and volunteer while my kids are in school. We are home most evenings and days, we have some activities but we're back early in the evening. I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood that doesn't have any traffic noise (there is some daytime construction but it hasn't concerned any of our guests yet). I have a spot for their bed that is central to most of our activities so they can observe and relax. Most like the big front window to watch the street from. The girls do a lot of ball throwing, tug of war, and treat hide and seek. They also like to make treats (when pet parents allow) and reward them for responding to commands. I don't allow them to feed dogs anything on their own.
“Our dog always has a wonderful time staying with Dana and Mark. They are very accommodating and send great updates. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Britta was an amazing sitter. Our dog needs special attention because of her allergies and Britta was very receptive to her needs. Millie had a great time playing with Olive.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our pups, Paul & Arnell! It's clear that you extended a lot of patience and care with our very active furbabies. And you two helped us feel so at ease with taking a long weekend vacation. We loved the photos and updates throughout the weekend and we really appreciate your hospitality and welcoming character. No doubt our babes were right at home while staying with you!”
“Jared has always gone above and beyond watching my Pomeranian. He is very prompt with communication and quick to reply. And able to work with my sometimes hectic schedule and flight delays. He even helped me jump start my car when my car died outside their house after dropping off my dog! I will continue booking with them whenever I am on work trips.”
“Steve loved his stay with Erica and Elohim! They’re very friendly and communicative. I was hoping for a sitter without other dogs because my guy can be a little reactive as he gets older. I appreciated the updates and photos each day. We’ll definitely look to book again when I’m out of town nexxt and highly recommend!”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
“Barry and his pup are fantastic hosts! I received many updates and photos which I really appreciate, and my dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Barry again!”
“Todd was exceptional in taking care of our Ava! He made sure she was comfortable in his home prior to the booking and answered any questions we had promptly. He is very communicative as well and provided us plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. We're very thankful for Todd and would recommend him to anyone seeking pet-boarding services.”
“First time ever doing something like this and being away from my pups, so it was nerve wrecking at first but Lucretia, her daughter, and her pups really made mine feel at home! Sent pictures and stayed in touch the whole time, which helped ease my stress about leaving them — Thank you Lucretia! Don't hesitate to trust her with your pups!”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our senior dog and our kitten! We will definitely be booking with her again the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Hannah, for taking such great care of Bear and Nyx for us!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sara
My first interaction with a dog sitter, so I scheduled a play date for Roxy (1 year old mini poodle). Roxy absolutely loved being with the other dogs, and Shell made sure she was safe. My pup came home happy and tired, and I will schedule other play dates for her with Shell through Rover. SHELL KNOWS DOGS!
Abra took wonderful care of Luca for over two weeks! She sent me daily pictures and updates, took him on walks, and made sure he received plenty of love, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I’m very grateful and would absolutely recommend Abra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Anastasia was fantastic. Throughout our dog’s stay at her home, she was very communicative and consistently sent pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home healthy, happy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Anastasia and would absolutely ask her to dog sit for us 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 Sara 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 Sara.
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 Sara 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.
