“Shawn and family took such great care of Pertie. They were so patient and loving with her while she adjusted to a new place. Their dog Hazel and her got along great. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was so well looked after. Shawn gave us updates with pictures everyday and was quick to respond. We would absolutely leave her with Shawn again in the future.”
“Amazing! Gabriella was the best with Remus. Sent us lots of updates and pictures and really put our minds at ease while we were gone. Remus came back so happy and exhausted from all his fun adventures. Thank you again for being such an amazing dog sitter :) looking forward to seeing you both again :)”
“Thanks for taking care of our pup for the weekend! She came back home happy and tired out. Carl took her for several walks and sent frequent updates & photos. Quick response to messages. I would not hesitate to take our dog to Carl’s again.”
“So thankful to have found Brittany! I wanted someone who had professional dog experience, not just someone who “just loves dogs”. I have a Doberman and a 17 year old schnauzer so having someone that can handle a strong breed as well as knowledgeable with seniors was very important to me. She was more then willing to meet up for a few walks and plan a few daycare days before our dogs stayed for a long weekend, I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Connie was amazing this past week. Very attentive and descriptive with how our pets day went. Lots of affection and attention towards our little guy. Lots of updates daily with pictures of his walks and adventures and even provided some new experiences with other dogs! It was a wonderful experience as owners getting that piece of mind. Will definitely do it again. Thank you”
“Brigitta provided a great and welcoming home for my fur babies. Anyone who has had huskies knows how challenging they can be with such high energy and propensity to escape. My dogs absolutely loved spending a weekend at Brigitta's home with her children and dogs. I will be bringing my beloved pups back anytime I may need a sitter!”
“So glad we found Chelsea on Rover. She was able to provide excellent care for our 10mon old pup that is fearful of new people. Most Kennels won't accept him. By the end of three days her calm and friendly demeanor rubbed off on him and they were friends. We love the photo update with happy puppy faces. We are grateful for the flexibility in time pick up and the last minute add on of our second dog.”
“We highly recommend Lisa as a pet sitter! She took care of our dog, Mr. Beckett while we were out of town. Not only did she provide excellent care for Mr. Beckett, but she also went above and beyond to ensure he felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We enjoyed the daily texts and pictures showing us he was safe and having a great time. Our nervousness about leaving Mr. Beckett for the first time was greatly reduced after we saw how well he was doing with her. Lisa would take him and her dog Ollie on daily adventures at the local parks. He enjoyed playing with Ollie and seemed very happy there. We will gladly use Lisa’s services in the future, she is trustworthy, loving and very in tune to our dog’s needs.”
About: A life long dog lover with years of experience with dog sitting for friends, and 3 years of being a pet parent to an adorable Havanese mix. I have a big fenced yard for all the play and exercise needed and a cosy suite within my home for relaxation. I’ve worked with trainers and learned tips to enrich my dog. Working part time and locally. I only take bookings on my days off. Lots of space to relax in the home, or run around in the yard! Dedicated area of the home where pets can feel at ease. My dog likes other dogs and they would only be allowed to interact if allowed. Otherwise the suite is completely separate from the other part of the house and the dog can have their privacy.
“One of the BEST sitters we have ever had! Velzy loved her weekend stay and we could tell she felt safe and right at home. Michelle and her family understand animals and they have such a big heart for them. Communication was excellent and we loved getting all the sweet pics and videos. We feel so thankful to have met Michelle and her family and will definitely have Velzy stay with them anytime we are in town to visit. Thank you again!”
“Walter and Angela were the perfect sitters for my dog Wanda. Before my vacation, I was so anxious because it was my first time leaving Wanda with someone new; however, as soon as I met them, I felt so much more at ease because of their warmth and great dog management skills. Wanda liked them right away too, which is not always the case for when she meets new people. Wanda was given lots of love and attention, long walks along the river by their home, and playtime, and when I came back 5 days later to pick her up, she was in no hurry to leave! Wanda was glued to Walter and gave him lots of kisses - he played ball and tug of war with her in the yard too. I also received lovely text messages and photos to let me know how she was doing. They also have a lovely home with a nice fenced in yard so its a perfect place for dogs. I'm so grateful that I met them and would like to use them again for future dog care services.”
“Short notice: check. Excellent care: check. Affordable: check. Adventures: check. My dog was loved and pampered. He came back in a very happy mood, and I will definitely contact Michael again when there is another last-minute boarding need. Bob had a wonderful time.”
“Julie and family were fabulous pet sitters for our Stella!! They were very accommodating of our changing schedules and were always very welcome and friendly to us and Stella.”
“This was our first time leaving Ben for more than two nights. They both take such good care of our baby and send lots of daily updates, which honestly warmed our hearts and made us feel at peace so we could enjoy our little vacation. Ben absolutely loves running around their yard and getting his chest rubs. We truly appreciate the genuine love and care provided! 🫶🏼”
“Our black lab stayed with Nathan and Elise for a month in the summer and two weeks this spring. Lots of pictures along the way. Our dog is used to visiting an office and is very social so this was a good fit going to Nathan’s office. His co-workers seem to enjoy having dogs around too.”
“Cade was a fantastic Rover. He was on top of his communication, has a great property that our dog was able to enjoy, and was really flexible. We ran into a problem where our travel plans were delayed and Cade was happy to let our dog stay another night. I would highly recommend Cade to watch your dog and will be rebooking next time we need a rover.”
“We are happy with the care Asha received from Morgan, Russel, and their family. I was a bit nervous at first when I heard that our dogs were not getting along initially, but after she settled into her new environment, Asha became buddies with Millie. Morgan was very quick to respond to my messages, and she sent regular updates with photos and videos. We would be very confident leaving Asha with this lovely family again. 😊”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sumas
Amazing at looking after my dog. So much attention and care. She did regular walks and even playtime with my dog. Ana was also good at sending pics, video and updates on how Jules was doing. Jules had an accident the first night and Ana handled it well. Super impressed with her. Will say the overall experience was a 11/10. Thankyou Ana and see you again soon.
Our two whippets stayed with Shawn and his family for a week. Shawn is a very easy going person and quite amenable to meeting us beforehand to ensure a good fit. He was great at keeping us updated daily on how our puppies were doing as well as sending along occasional pictures and videos. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with Shawn and can confirm that they were well loved and taken care while in his care. We would not hesitate to recommend Shawn to anyone who needs someone to care for their dog(s).
We had a great experience! Oscar stayed for two days and was very well taken care of. I really appreciated getting pictures and updates while I was away—it was so nice to see that he was happy and comfortable. Oscar seemed to really enjoy himself, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Maya just had a great time staying a whole week with Denise. I felt so much better about leaving my girl, knowing she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Denise, Maya will definitely be back. I was emailed pictures and updates throughout the week, and truly appreciated that she took the time to do that.

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 Sumas 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 Sumas.
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 Sumas 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.
