“Kelsy was super friendly, responsive and kept us posted on our Tabby's time with her. Great professional set up and her care was super. Tabby returned with us happy and asking if she could stay with Kelsey again next time! Thank you Kelsey! Great Job!”
“Elaine and her family were awesome at caring for our 16 year old dachshund, Harley. She is quick to communicate and provided daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”
“This is the 2nd time Sarah has watched our dog Kaia (first time boarding). We are so pleased with the daily updates/pictures from Sarah. Kaia seemed so happy when we picked her up, and she made so many new friends during her stay! Sarah is definitely our go to sitter! :)”
“Very thankful for Kimberly! She sent photos every day and I can tell my girls had a blast. Kimberly was extremely accommodating and took extra steps to make sure I was comfortable (this was my first time boarding). Highly recommend!!”
“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”
“Cynthia did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”
“Kelsey took very good care of my dog 🐶 she’s very kind and kept me in the loop on what my dog was up to throughout the days. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have her sit their fur babies! ❤️”
“I appreciate the care Jack received. He got along with her dogs and now is doing better with other dogs. He adjusted well being in a different environment and was happy to see me when I picked him up”
“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!!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“We are grateful to have found Andrea to take care of Charlie, our pomchi. She put us at ease from our first meeting and was a wonderful communicator for the entire time we were away. Through pictures, emails and a happy dog when we returned, everything went well. We recommend Andrea and will be in contact with her next time!”
“Jael and her family made our dog feel right at home! Drop-off and pick-up were quick and easy, and when we returned, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve tried kennels before and our pup came back stressed and underweight — but with Jael, it was the complete opposite. Stella ate well, played, and looked so content when we picked her up. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Jael truly does. We couldn’t recommend her more — 10/10 experience!”
“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”
“Angela did an amazing job watching our Iggy for a few days while we were out of town. We loved and enjoyed all the pictures and videos she sent throughout the stay. Will 100% recommend and book again.”

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 Thatcher 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 Thatcher.
<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 Thatcher 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.
