“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
“Michael was a wonderful sitter for our Billie Jean. He is a great communicator who cared about keeping her both safe AND happy. She had a wonderful time. I highly recommend!!”
“Jerrie is awesome!! We were in a bind last minute when our dog boarding plans fell through but Jerrie saved the day. I was able to do a meet and greet prior where my dog, Trowa, was able to meet the other sweet pups staying at Jerrie’s. Trowa instantly hit it off with the others and had lots of room to play and explore outside. Jerrie sent updates twice a day with tons of photos of all of the fun they were having which made us feel much more comfortable having Trowa stay somewhere else while we were gone. Jerrie is kind, caring, and so communicative, I definitely recommend reaching out to her for any of your furry friend needs!”
“Absolutely amazing! I have never left my dog with another person who is not family before, and I was honestly a nervous wreck coming up to my trip. However Leanne was an absolute god send. I got updates with pictures as often as I liked, my dog got to tag along on hikes & picnics, and I felt 100% at ease. My Karma was taken care of like royalty & I would recommend Leanne to everybody! 500 stars ⭐️ 10,000% would book again ❤️.”
“Jordyn was awesome with our little fur baby girl. Jordyn followed instructions that we had, and gave us daily text updates on her progress. We missed our fur baby while we were gone, but weren't worried because we knew she was in good hands. We will use Jordyn's services next time, whenever necessary. Thanks Jordyn!”
“Jennifer and her family had such a welcoming space for our golden retriever Toast! There was a lot of communication and pictures sent, not to mention her dogs were great companions for ours. Definitely plan to have Toast stay with Jennifer again if we’re ever back in the area!”
“We were so fortunate to find Diahann and her husband to watch our 3 pups. Communication was great and we received photos, videos, and updates everyday. They have a beautiful, dog friendly home which put us at ease after the initial meet and greet. We knew our pups would be safe and have a great time, which they definitely did. Thank you, Diahann, for being so attentive and caring to our 3 babies! 💙🩵💜”
“Jill is very kind and caring. Linus enjoyed his overnight with her & her family and their dog Josie. She sent photos with pup-dates so I knew Linus was relaxed & well cared for. I will definitely call on Jill when we need a sitter again.”
“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! We boarded our German Shepherd with her for 16 days while we took an extended trip. She communicated with us frequently to let us know how he was doing and sent many pictures, which we greatly appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
“First time using Rover. Molly, her pups and home environment were very welcoming. My old dog has an expensive dislike to the crowded and noisy concrete boarding facilities. She seemed to enjoy staying in a quiet home like setting with a great backyard and a calming human. I will definitely use Molly again. Convenient and quick drop off and pick up. Thank you!”
“This is a dog paradise!!! My year and a half old lab has been to 3 doggie daycares until we found the perfect place for him. I would highly recommend Roxana and Nathan to anyone that wants to know that their dog is safe and having a better time than you! Thank you Roxana and Nathan”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“Bella usually has a hard time and is very anxious while I’m gone. Victoria took amazing care of her sent lots and lots of photos and Bella didn’t seem anxious at all. Will definitely be using Victoria again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Bay
Leanne is amazing! She kept our dog Winry safe and happy this weekend, with LOTS of love, adventures, play, and treats! We really appreciated all the detailed and frequent updates/pictures. Leanne did a nice job asking lots of questions and taking great notes prior to booking, then made sure all our wishes and Winry's needs were respected. She was also flexible with pickup and drop off times. Thank you for taking care of our lovebug so we could have peace of mind on our wedding weekend! 💜
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 !
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, 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.
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 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 , 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.
