Our fur baby had a great time staying at their home and got along so well with their pup Isis + their kitties, we will definitely use them again in the future!”

“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!”

“Christen watched my fur baby Lexi for 3 days during Thanksgiving , and I'm very satisfied with her sitting services. Christen and her boyfriend seemed very kind and friendly, they were taking Lexi to the dog park and hikes every day,and she sent me a lot of pictures, which made me so happy and feel relaxed when I was away. Christen is very easy to talk to, and she always responds within a few minutes. I definitely recommend her to everyone, and would use her services in the future again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child, and started doing pet care for neighbors as soon as I could. Caring for pets continued through college, getting connected through friends to walk dogs in between classes. When I moved to the PNW, I discovered Rover and have been sitting and walking ever since. The recent gap in my services was from moving down to University Place and then focusing on my own dog, Winston, for the first two years after his adoption. I am only offering walks and drop-ins (no long term or overnight care). My pup Winston will stay at home whenever I am booked for services so that I can give your pet(s) 100% of my attention. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels and have experience with quite a few behavioral concerns as well. I am very comfortable working with pets that struggle with: - leash reactivity - anxiety around people or other animals - medical issues, including those that require medication administration or emergent care - pain and mobility issues due to aging - food sensitivities/diet restrictions I also love working on dog training whether that’s loose leash walking techniques or just having your pup learn or practice tricks as a part of a drop in visit. I know the feeling of leaving your pet with a Rover sitter for the first time, especially when they have a history of medical issues or anxiety, so I always send detailed updates with photos to keep you at ease. I’m so excited to be starting my services again and hope to meet you and your pets soon! I am taking a break from work before beginning a fully remote role as a consultant in a few months, offering me a ton of flexibility to set my own schedule. Once I begin working again, advance notice will make it easier for me to schedule my meetings around Rover bookings. I live in home with my partner in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I typically refrain from off leash activities, interactions with other dogs/people, or rigorous activities like hiking or running unless I have permission from the owners and repeat experience with the pet.

Louann communicated regularly while she watched our dog’s likes and sent plenty of pictures of their activities and adventures. I highly recommend Louann to anyone for dog related services. Louann truly adopted our “fur baby” and loved her like her own. Top notch care and love will be given to your puppy too!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 25 years of experience caring for them. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to German Shepherds and Huskies. I’m currently raising my third Husky, Sirus, who is an incredibly loving, playful, and friendly boy! I’m also a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, and I have experience caring for dogs with more complex medical needs. My previous Husky had both diabetes and cancer, so I’m very familiar with administering medications, giving injections, monitoring health conditions, and providing extra attention to dogs who need it. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just relaxing, I want them to feel completely comfortable and loved while they’re here. I’ll also send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well taken care of! I’m currently a nursing student, so a lot of my free time is spent at home studying and hanging out with my Husky, Sirus! Since I’m already home spending time with him, welcoming another furry friend fits perfectly into our routine. I currently offer doggy daycare on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, along with overnight boarding on Friday and Saturday nights! Whether you need someone to watch your pup while you’re at work, have weekend plans, or just want your dog to enjoy a fun day with a furry friend, I’d love to help! During their stay, your pup will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of love. I have grassy areas conveniently located right outside my first-floor condo, making outdoor breaks and walks easy throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for our pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s regular feeding, medication, and potty schedules to help them feel right at home. My goal is to make every stay feel like a fun little sleepover or playdate rather than being away from home! And of course, I’ll send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My availability: * Tuesday: Doggy daycare * Friday: Overnight boarding * Saturday: Doggy daycare and overnight boarding * Sunday: Doggy daycare Drop-off and pickup times can be arranged in advance, and I do require a meet-and-greet with Sirus before accepting new furry guests to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I want every pup who stays with me to feel like they’re right at home, receiving the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog. I live in a cozy, first-floor condo with my neutered male Husky, Sirus. He’s incredibly loving, playful, and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes! For everyone’s safety, I do require that visiting dogs be friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs, especially males. I also require a meet-and-greet before their first stay to make sure everyone is a good match. My condo has convenient access to grassy fields both in front of and behind the complex, so there are plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, fresh air, and walks throughout the day. All outdoor activities are supervised, and dogs are always kept on a leash. Inside my home, your pup is treated like family! They’re welcome to cuddle on the couch, relax on the furniture, play with toys, or simply hang out with Sirus and me. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. As a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, I understand the importance of safety, recognizing changes in health, and responding appropriately when something isn’t right. I also have personal experience caring for dogs with serious medical conditions, including diabetes and cancer. I’m comfortable administering medications and prescribed injections with proper instructions. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication routine, and care instructions closely. I’ll also provide regular pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so every pup receives the individual attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming home where your dog feels like part of our little family!

“This was our first stay on rover and it went really well. My dog Hank is a nervous guy, but he was happy and playful when I picked him up so he must have had a good time. Since I’m an over protective dog mom I am relieved to find someone he and I both feel comfortable with. Haylee was very fast to respond when I checked in to see how things were going. We’ve already booked again for another stay! Thanks!”

Louann is the best! She had my older dog at her home for two weeks. He was showered with love, had happy, slow walks, and even got to sleep in her room! She asked all the right questions beforehand, texted me when another question came up, and sent sweet pup pictures to make me miss him even more. I would absolutely recommend her for a home stay, or just regular dog walks. She pays careful attention, makes them feel very cared for, and gave me peace of mind.

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and I really appreciated that she required a meet-and-greet beforehand with her own dogs. It showed me that she genuinely cares about the well-being and safety of every dog in her care—not just filling bookings. She came up with a thoughtful plan to make sure my dog would be comfortable and safe with the other dogs, which gave me so much confidence leaving him with her. Throughout his stay, Jennifer was friendly, communicative, and sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. I could tell my dog was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog sitter!

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
