“Great experience boarding my dog w Larissa for 3 nights. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy and reassuring. Communication was great the entire time & I really appreciated the daily updates/photos while I was away. My dog can be pretty independent & likes doing his own thing & she really seemed to understand his personality & made him feel comfortable. When he was picked up, he was relaxed, happy & clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Larissa again in the future & I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Maggie is amazing! She took very good care of my senior dog and kept up with his medications perfectly! She also sent me adorable pictures each day she had him. Would highly recommend and would use her again!”
“10/10 recommend Katrina and her family!! They showed my fur babies the best care and love :) I felt extremely at peace with them being there! Katrina also sent updates of them everyday making my experience even better than expected! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.”
“Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.”
“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”
“100% recommended. I met Jace through Rover just two days before Christmas, when I was desperately searching for a new pet sitter while I was out of the country. The sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly decided to kick out my senior dog with special needs. Jace had just recently started his business on Rover, and after a single phone call, I immediately realized how experienced and trustworthy he was—especially as a dog owner himself. He quickly put my mind at ease and not only took Frida in on extremely short notice, but also rescued her from a negligent situation with the sitter I had hired. Jace took care of my dog Frida for two and a half weeks, helped get her potty schedule back on track, gave her so much love, and sent the cutest daily updates while I was away. I don’t just highly recommend Jace—I am truly grateful for him. What a wonderful human. 10 out of 10 stars. He’s the best, and I will 100% hire him again.”
“Our dog has stayed with Jennifer multiple times. He is always excited to see her and her dogs. It ends up being a fun vacation for him as well. Jennifer is amazing and is so easy to work with. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation.”
“Morgane was absolutely fantastic with Hopper! Lots of pictures and he had a great time with her, even though he's normally pretty shy/anxious. Even when I got him back in my car at the end of the booking, he was pulling against his seatbelt to head out and go back to her!”
“Deb was fantastic! She is so responsive, easy going and flexible with scheduling. My dog was instantly comfortable with her and had a great time hanging out and go for walks with her. I know he'd love to return anytime!”
“Awesome, Justin & Sheena were amazing providers and my dog Snow felt at home. I highly recommend the use of their services, I am definitely a repeat customer and I know Snow look forward to future time with Rocky & Bow!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Mandy and Greg were the best babysitters ever! They took perfect care of our dog and sent frequent, charming, and hilarious photos and updates. You can tell they have a real understanding and appreciation for all dogs. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a rover. They calmed all of my nerves and my dog loved them!”
“Matthew was great. I have somewhat of a special needs dog and he was terrific in supporting her needs while we were went on vacation. He sent pictures every day, included updates, and had no problem at all with her food and medication needs. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”
“Canning was great with Hank. When we had a schedule issue towards the end of our scheduled dog sit, they worked with us to have some friends pick up our dog. Thanks Channing!”
“Our pup had her first sleepover with Anthony and it was a big success! Thank you, Anthony for the update and the many photos! It is wonderful to know she is in great hands and so happy! 🩷”
“Miranda did a wonderful job watching my dog, Moose, for a 2 week long vacation. I trusted her to take good care of him and based on the photos she sent, it seems like he had an enjoyable time with her dog, Fynn. She was communicative the entire time and accommodating when I needed to extend my trip by 2 days. I would recommend her as a sitter!”
“Crismar did an amazing job taking care of Lila over 4th of July weekend! She is very afraid of fireworks and she made sure to keep her can and safe and sent me lots of updates when I was worried! She came home very happy as usual :)”
“Very please with using Dorian to watch our dog. I have zero complaints. We have a very active pit mix puppy. He had no problem calming him and making him feel at home. Took him for walks often and treated him kindly. Will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need someone.”
“What wonderful caretakers! They sent lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind while away from my boys! They were also highly attentive and responsive and were delightfully flexible when I got back from my trip early and was able to pick them up sooner than originally expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone and next time I need a dog sitter I will be asking them first!”

Molly was simply the best! She went above and beyond to make a timid terrier who hadn't been away from home have a great experience. She provided so many great updates was great with communication and is a trustworthy sitter who my little dog is excited to stay with again.
Kelly is amazing, I had some back and forth on whether I needed someone to watch my dog Sonny and she was incredibly patient and flexible with the whole process. She took amazing care of Sonny. I'm pretty picky about who he says with because he's kind of a handful. Very particular, needy dog sometimes and she was amazing with him. At the end of my trip my flight kept getting canceled and delayed and she was really patient and flexible yet again offering to keep him an extra night if needed which was really helpful while dealing with a stressful travel situation. I highly recommend Kelly, she is wonderful!
Ren took such good care of our puppy! This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and it was a relief to know she was in good hands. Ren was highly communicative and responsive, we loved receiving photo and video updates regularly. He solved problems as they arose and kept us in the loop. Ren took the time to get to know our puppy and her specific needs/growth areas so he could address them with intention and care. Thank you very much for keeping our girl safe and happy!
Mandy & Greg were awesome with our dog! They were quick and easy to schedule and communicate with which I appreciated. You can tell they really love dogs and do this with a lot of care! We also received many photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while away from our dog. Our dog is anxious and somewhat reactive and they were very attentive to that and handled him with care. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!
Mckayla is AWESOME !! I had no worries about my colibri being taken care of ,, I was getting constant updates and our girls played together sooo well!!! I had a family emergency and mckayla was very supportive and understanding. Great Dog mom inside and out !! Definitely will be bring my girl back with her for the future ! Definitely recommend !!!!
Amanda was so friendly, communicative, and accommodating! She was able to help us with some last-minute changes, which we really appreciated. Although we didn’t get a ton of time with her, she was able to quickly build trust with both us and our pups, which made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend Amanda and will definitely be booking with her again!
Benny was in such great care with Donald! He has a nice cozy apartment and I could tell Benny would feel comfortable. He took him on a stroll at his favorite park and even got him some treats because we forgot some at home. Would definitely book with Donald again! 10/10

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.

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.
