“Marlena and her family took wonderful care of Donut while we were hiking at Mount Rainier. They sent frequent updates and treated him like one of their own. Donut clearly had a great time with them, and we would absolutely book with them again!”
“My dog Cookie was well taken care of. Nikkole listened to my concerns, vet's suggestions, and what works best for my dog, and goes above and beyond! Cookie was so well taken care of in my absence, and he came home so healthy and happy. I will definitely be taking him back and am thankful to her for treating my dog as one of her own.”
“Our pup had the best time with Noelle for 4 days! We are very impressed with the dog sitter and kept us updated everyday with pictures and we loved that! We will definitely request her again when our pup needs overnight care in the future!!”
“I had such a great experience with Mariko! She was absolutely amazing with Hazy and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. I got regular picture updates, which really put my mind at ease, and I could tell Hazy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It honestly felt like Hazy was on a little vacation of her own. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving with their pet. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Angela is an excellent dog sitter. Our dog had a fun vacation of her own at Angela's home. She had the run of the house and yard with another dog to play with and Angela sent us pictures of her having fun. We have left our dog with Angela twice now and already planning a third trip without our young dog because we know she is in good hands with Angela.”
“I boarded my nervous little dog with Heather, and I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received. Heather connected with me each day with a report of my dog's state of being. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in excellent hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Ethan is the best! He watched our golden for over a week and sent us pictures and videos every day. Porter had the best time and we are so thankful to have a good, reliable person to leave him with!”
“Tobi is amazing! She always takes such wonderful care of our sweet Emme girl! If you want someone who loves fur babies and will take great care of them, you’ve found her! Thank you, Tobi! 🐶❤️”
“So thankful to have found Priscila in such a short notice. She allowed for a meet up before booking with her, which was great! Our mixed Chihuahua sometimes prefers to not be around kids he doesn’t know but he felt right at home when we had our meet and greet! He got to meet her husband & her daughters and did great! She provided pictures and videos of our fur baby on the daily. Knowing someone was with him and taking the time to walk him often and play with him had us on ease on our trip. We even felt that he was sad for about two days after we got him back. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you Chris & Priscila!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“The sweetest sitter ever!! 🥹💕 10/10, we absolutely loved our experience! She sent me so many adorable videos of our girls playing, which made me feel so comfortable knowing they were having the best time. She even sent them home with cute little bandanas and a bag of treats 🥹🎀 The sweetest, most thoughtful touch! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies and for being so responsive, flexible, and genuinely sweet to our girls. You can tell how much love and care she puts into what she does, and that means everything as a dog mom. We’ll absolutely be leaving both of our babies with her whenever we have a show in Tacoma! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly, highly recommend!! 💕”
“Bobbi is fantastic. She’s very friendly, communicates quickly, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing, including all the new friends he made. I would definitely recommend Bobbi and would happily book with her again!”
“Highly recommend the sitter . Received pics and videos of Nemo all the time and he was well taken care of . I appreciate the responsiveness since I had requested last minute booking.”
“Tory provided excellent care for our 1 year old dog. He communicated often and sent pictures that showed our puppy on some beautiful, foresty walks. We will definitely leave our dog in his care again.”
“Katie was amazing! I would give her more stars if I could. I had never used Rover before and am so happy to have found such a great sitter for my dog, Zoey. Katie is professional, friendly, and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup with her for a whole week. She also kept me updated which meant a lot to me. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Ronak is wonderful with Olive, and Olive absolutely loves him. We’ve left Olive with Ronak multiple times, and each time she comes home happy and healthy. Thank you Ronak!!”
“Total peace of mind while away! We were instantly relieved when our highly energetic pup immediately took to Keri and Kerry's family, yard and Beau :) This lovely family puts you at ease with their calm demeanor and years of knowledge and experience with dogs (including active puppies). They are exceptionally intuitive with new and old dogs. Our pup was so well exercised, daily, that it allayed our usual concerns of him getting into mischief. Keri and Kerry were always quick to respond and kept us informed daily. Communication was clear and easy. He was so well cared for that we were genuinely and regularly blown away when we received the pics of him laying contentedly, relaxing and getting pets and love from this wonderful family! Their love and ability to quickly identify and address your dog's needs will bring you the peace of mind needed to enjoy your time away. We will book with them from now on! Thank you Keri and Kerry!”

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 Surprise Valley 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 Surprise Valley.
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 Surprise Valley 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.
