“I can’t even believe how lucky we got in finding Maria. We have two small, nervous, not terribly well socialized dogs, and I can genuinely say that she cared for them as if they were her own. She send the sweetest videos and pictures and kept me up to date on whether they were eating or playing or cuddling, with the kind of genuine warmth and kindness that you don’t see a lot of in today’s world. She’s a wonderful, thoughtful human who truly cares about the animals in her care. Anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their babies. I felt such a sense of comfort knowing they were with her. I can’t rave about her enough. Thank you so much, Maria. Sending love to little Olive.”
“Michelle and Sam are WONDERFUL!! Our dog Cookie is always SO excited to see them and to be with their dogs as well. Loving, wonderful, kind, AMAZING! Thank you both.”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Wonder always has a wonderful stay at Ren’s! I liked receiving all the pictures and videos of Wonder playing and going on walks during her stay and quick replies from Ren.”
“Thanks again for taking Tucker that extra night and for the daily updates and a happy tired pup when we picked him up. It's so nice to know he's in a happy place with people who enjoy having him when we're away.”
“Vicki was wonderful! My dog Bob had a wonderful time with her and Jeff and, of course, their two dogs. I am sure he especially enjoyed having a backyard again to roam in and explore. I recommend her enthusiastically!”
“Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!”
“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”
“We are so thankful for Diahann and her family! I was a nervous mom dropping off our baby for the first time for a few nights away - I was convinced he would not sleep or eat! HA! Night one he slept perfect. Played a ton with new puppy friends. Ate just fine! Diahann kept me informed constantly with videos, pics, and messages. I knew he was in good hands and having so much fun. So happy we found a wonderful family to care for him when we are gone! I’m sure I’ll have to bring him over for daycare plays because he will miss it!”
“Kaitlin took great care of my dog, Moose. He absolutely loved playing with Kaitlin's puppy and seemed to be very comfortable/happy in the photo updates that Kaitlin provided throughout the weekend. Kaitlin seemed well-attuned to Moose's needs and I would definitely have her sit for me again.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Andrea is truly the best dog sitter ever. This was the third time she’s watched Annabell, and it was obvious the moment I dropped her off that she felt completely at home—she ran straight up the stairs and made herself cozy on the couch. We were away for about a week, and not once did I feel anxious because I knew Annabell was in such good hands. I really appreciate the daily updates, photos, and videos. They made our trip so much easier. Highly recommend!”
“Andre watched our two golden retriever babies last minute after we had to find alternate plans for the dogs right before we flew out on vacation. We are so appreciative of her! She took great care of them daily, sent us photos, played with them and was a great sitter. Highly recommend and we’d hire her again any day!”
“Mckenna and her mom Shirley are the best caretakers of my wonderful old dog Chewie that I could ever imagine. He's near end of life now, but Mckenna still agreed to take him for a day in October even after his challenging week long stay at her house in September. Thank you, Mckenna and Shirley!”
“We couldn't be happier with our girl Marcie's stay at the Best Westie! Rikke and her family and their sweet pup Luna were wonderful and welcoming and we felt so at ease leaving Marcie with them. It was clear in the daily updates and photos we received that she was having the best time. It was a vacation for her! Rikke went above and beyond and we feel so lucky to have found her on short notice. The very best!”
“Kaylie is incredible! She is so communicative and our pups are always so excited when they get to spend time with her and her own pups! We always have a peace of mind when Kaylie is watching our sweet pups.”
“Joe was wonderful with our pitbull and shih tzu! He was thoughtful, communicative, and attentive both before and during their care. He gave them plenty of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Second visit and there will definitely be more. I knew my pup was happy when he was so excited to be back and left a little present from his excitement! Loved the daily photos and communication. Made a work trip so much less stressful.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,560 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shawnee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shawnee. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Shawnee 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
