“Elaine took absolutely great care of Pepe while was away for two weeks! The daily updates and pictures gave me great peace of mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Pepe was in great hands.”
“Jennifer was so kind and patient with our young pup ! Very communicative, sending daily pics, and flexible with drop off and pick up. Awesome first experience !”
“Amber took such good care of five month old Ruby, treating her like family! I got lots of updates with photos and videos. When we picked her up Amber’s kids begged for Ruby to come back. She definitely will!”
“Great sitter, highly compassionate and you could tell the family loves animals. Gus came back home after a fun 2 days with Sara happy and looking forward to going back! Thank you :)”
“Avery was so wonderful and really took the time to get to know and understand my dog Bloomy. She took her for long walks and did everything she could to make her stay comfortable. My dog has a lot of energy and can get a bit anxious being somewhere new and I know Avery handled it all very well. I felt so comfortable leaving Bloomy in her care. I will certainly request to have her watch Bloomy again!”
“Kelsey was great! We boarded our high anxiety, year and a half old, poodle rescue with her for four days. He’s a lot! She stayed connected with us and she was patient with him. She gave me some great advice when working with him to help him overcome his fears of new people and experiences.”
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so sweet and accommodating and a great communicator. She also sends sweet photos and check in’s which is so nice. Book her for you doggy care needs!”
“Sarah was great! She was in constant communication and always sent photos. She gave details about how my dog was doing and answered any questions or concerns really quickly. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Our fur goblin Vivi had a fabulous stay with Kara and her pup Doc! Vivi is an energetic gal who loves play and walks, and had a good time with the toy basket at Kara’s place. We appreciated Kara’s updates, photos, and even a video of Vivi and Doc playing together. We felt very comfortable leaving Vivi in Kara’s care.”
“BEST ... PET … SITTER …. EVER!!! No worries while away!!! You pet is in great hands. Thank you so Rachel!!! Especially the pictures ? and communicating promptly!!!”
“I highly recommend Cynthia and plan to book again soon!. Our pup had an excellent experience, especially for her first visit. Cynthia went above and beyond in every category, including communication and care, walking her daily, and even giving her a bath. She came home bright, happy and in beautiful condition with special treats. Cynthia is a warm, caring, and very responsible sitter, noting all details. Her emphasis on safety, and frequent photos were especially appreciated. Our pup was very well looked after in every way, thanks to the kindness of Cynthia!”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”
“April knew exactly what my pup needed. As a “still in training” young dog, she reinforced the skills we were already learning and kept him engaged. She has a great indoor space and safe backyard for dogs. We received frequent updates and it was clear he very much enjoyed his stay.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling
Our family was in need of a booking over the holidays on short notice. Olga was extremely responsive, thorough and caring. She welcomed our two Australian shepherds, providing them a comfortable home for a few days. She gave us updates with photos and videos, and she was very communicative throughout the booking. Would highly recommend!
Ratih was flexible and responsible! We requested two visits to her home before our vacation to help my dog become familiar with her family. Ratih and her husband happily arranged the visits, and we felt very welcomed. My dog had a great time while our family was on vacation. She was healthy and happy when we picked her up from Ratih’s home after we returned. I would book with Ratih again the next time we go on vacation!

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 Sterling 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 Sterling.
<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 Sterling 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.
