“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”
“Soon is my go to sitter, if I want my pups to be spoiled! Soon and her family are amazing sitters! I highly recommend her. She is great with sending pictures and regular updates. A+ service and my pups left well cared for and happy!”
“Jerrie sent photos and updates everyday. She was so kind and thoughtful in her communications all throughout the pre-booking and three week long boarding experience. We've never left our dog so long and were comforted to know he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired out.”
“Annmarie was amazing with our boy!!!! He is a shy timid dog and she was so kind and patient with him!!! I got pictures and an update every single day. She truly treated him like he was hers, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a pup sitter.”
“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”
“Our pup got the princess treatment from Jennifer and her family! They even spoiled her with dinner and ice cream :D Our baby was so well cared for, clearly loved and beyond well taken care of. The pictures Jennifer sent us overjoyed us and kept us laughing everyday of our trip. There’s nothing that gives you more peace of mind and heart like trusting who is caring for her. She made so many new friends, and had the time of her life at Golden Camp. Jennifer was also so accommodating with giving Willow her eye medication. They’re THE BEST.”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Desiree is so amazing with Raya! Have used Desiree previously and will always check with her first on her availability. When Raya is with Desiree and her family we have no doubt that she is well taken care of. We receive pictures/videos/messages with updates, keeps great communication and responds promptly. Thank you Desiree.”
“Potato loved being there and was even a bit down coming back. She bonded so well with Amanda’s daughter too. Amanda was great, kept me updated, and I didn’t have to worry one bit while she stayed there.”
“Sheena was awesome. She took wonderful care of our dog, Lola, and sent lots of picture updates to make sure we knew Lola was having a great time. I’d recommend Sheena to anyone in the area needing to board their fur babies.”
“Leanne’s level of care is exquisite. Her skills with a dog with leash aggression, and love of food was navigated beautifully. Her heart was immediately recognized by both me and my sweet dog. ARWEN felt immediately at home and got toys out of the toy box, drank water and jumped on the couch to be near Leanne. Erin is quite the couch potato, but Leanne got her out on walks every day, introduced her to the neighborhood, horses, and cats( (at a safe distance.) she sent wonderful photos and updates and I felt completely at ease to enjoy my international travel without concern for my dogs’s well-being. It was actually very hard for them to part ways. Very sweet connection. I would recommend Leanne for any of your precious dog’s needs.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Deidre took such good care of my dog while I was on a long trip. She sent pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I'm so grateful for her kindness and care. She is highly recommended.”
“Marianne took great care of our doodle, Teddy, for a week of boarding. They took Teddy for frequent long walks, let her sprawl on their couch and sleep in their bed, and treated her like their own. Communication was great, and we received daily updates with photos/videos. We would definitely book with Marianne again!”
“Jill could not be better. Our little dog was right at home with her. We had regular updates that made us feel great - knowing he was in such good hands was a load off. We will absolutely book with Jill again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Bay
We left our dog Buckey with Bradley for the night of the 4th of July, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He followed all the care instructions perfectly and took Buckey on an adventure to a dog park, sending us pictures that showed just how happy and comfortable Buckey was. Buckey got along really well with their dog, which was also amazing. The fact that Buckey didn’t try to escape tells us he felt safe and at ease. We highly recommend !
I’m so glad I found Leanne! I needed a last minute sitter and she was available and very accommodating. My dog requires some extra care and Leanne provided that without hesitation. I felt immediately that my dog would be safe and comfortable in her home and she was! I will definitely book with Leanne again.
Makayla kept in communication with me everyday and sent so many cute photos of my doggie. I knew what they were doing and how they were doing so I never had to worry while I was away. Makayla was such an excellent sitter that my dog didn't seem too stoked to be back home 😅 thank you again, Makayla! We'll definitely be booking with you again if you're available for our future trips.
Mike was a great host to our senior Lab (Laser). He understood his needs and created an atmosphere where he felt comfortable and welcome. The setting is perfect — large yard, great supervision, and a houseful of welcoming family and pets. Highly recommend and Laser is looking forward to return visits.
We had such a wonderful experience. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly so well loved — she almost didn’t want to leave! You can truly tell when your dog feels safe and cared for, and that’s exactly how she was. They treated her like family, not just a booking. The love, attention, and genuine care they gave her gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful to have found them and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend! 非常非常用心的朋友！非常非常有爱！！接狗子时特别开心不停的傻乐而且都不想和我回家啦！！这是把mocha当家人！超级推荐！！养狗八年来最满意的一次！！

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 South Bay 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 South Bay.
<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 South Bay 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.
