“I was honestly a little nervous at first because I didn’t have the best experience with a previous sitter, but I’m so glad I found her! She constantly kept me updated and sent me pictures, which made me feel so much better while I was away. Benny looked like he had such a good time and when I got him back he was sooo cuddly and happy. I could tell he was comfortable and really well taken care of. Benny will definitely be coming back!!”
“Briana has an awesome and welcoming space for dogs. Our Molly had a very relaxing time. Briana communicated well, updated us often and was very trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her! And Molly would love to stay again :)”
“Angela and her family were amazing with our sweet pup! Not only did she take wonderful care of him, but he had a great time and it felt like they actually enjoyed having him. Finn clearly felt relaxed and safe in their home and under their care, which isn’t always the case. Angela also did some leash training with him and taught him how to use their doggie door! It was a fantastic experience and I will re-book with Angela anytime I have a need for Finn. I couldn’t be happier with Angela and her sweet family! Thank you, Angela!”
“Teri is truly the Dog Whisperer. I will never go elsewhere. Addie loves visiting/staying - which is Addie’s growling at me when it’s time to go home!! Wink!! Adore you, Teri”
“Barbara is the perfect sweetheart to leave your pup with. Uly felt so at home with her …immediately! Her back yard is divine for zoomies and she even took Uly different places for walks… like a surprise daily field trip!! He was such a happy kid we we picked him up. Barbara’s a gem you can trust :) with your pup!”
“William is a great dog person. His set up in his house and yard is perfect. When i pull in to his driveway tucker is waging his tale and happy as can be. So lucky to find him. ☘️”
“Ashley helped us out on a very short term basis. She took really good care of our dog Dobby that suffers separation anxiety. We corresponded throughout the booking and it seems that Dobby got over the anxiety and played with the other doggies and humans. Dobby seemed to be in great spirits when I picked her up. We would trust our dog with Ashley anytime.”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“Will definitely use Danielle again, she is an excellent dog sitter. She took the time to do a meet and greet before we booked, sent updates and photos while we were gone. Danielle went out of her way to walk and hike during the stay and Oakley came back happy and content!”
“Thank you, Liudmila, for taking care of our sweet puppy. She had a wonderful time with you and your family and came home such a happy, calm girl! I really appreciate all the love and care you gave her!”

I really appreciate that she did a meet and greet beforehand and asked such thorough questions to make sure she knew as much about Buddy as she could before his stay. Buddy looks forward to his next visit with Avery and Theo!”
“Daisy and her family are true treasures. They have a lovely home with a fenced yard, Toby the Sheltie adored his time with them and came home a happy pup. Communication with Daisy was excellent and we appreciated the photos sent during his stay in their home. A 5 star pet sitter.”
“Amber was great and I know she took wonderful care of our cat and dog. She’s worked with many animals and it’s clear that she gives a lot of structure and care to each animal. We’d love to have her watch our animals again.”

“Jennifer was great with my dog, Cooper. He had a great time and slept for hours after he got home...a good sign of a good play :) We were gone for a week and I continually received pictures and videos of Cooper playing and having fun. She is an obvious dog lover and takes very good care of them. I would definitely recommend Jennifer and would use her again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swantown
I had such a wonderful experience having my dog Indy cared for by Kendra! She watched Indy for 7 days at her home and provided excellent care. I really appreciated the daily updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Indy was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Indy like one of her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Swantown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Swantown 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 Swantown.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Swantown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Swantown 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
