“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”
“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!!”
“Nick and Rebecca watched my two cats for about a week. They were extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! My cats felt at home and Nick and Rebecca were great with sending updates to me! I would definitely trust them with my cats any time and will be utilizing their services again in the future!”
“Kelsey was great. She and her family were all very welcoming and expertly introduced my dog Zoe to hers. The two dogs seemed to instantly make friends. She was comfortable walking Zoe off lead . Also Kelsey was super flexible with sleeping arrangements. The space was beautiful, clean and well organized with a large fun back yard. I would definitely use Kelsey's services again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Brianna! She boarded our two dogs for several days and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent update photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was incredibly attentive to all of their needs. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Brianna was accommodating, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dog care!”
“Andrea was great! I was traveling abroad and Andrea kept me updated on how my dogs were doing during their stay. She took very good care of them and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“Adrienne was communicative and transparent with some anxiety our dog was experiencing, and was flexibile and willing to go out of her way to accomodate her. She sent regular videos and pictures, letting us know our dog was happy and busy while we were out of town. Would recommend 100%!”
“Omi was calm and comfortable with Elaine, which was was perfect for our nervous young chihuahua. She specializes in small dogs, so this was a perfect fit. We plan on having Omi stay with her in the future.”
“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.”
“Kevin and Kayla are awesome! They are very accommodating with our dog Moose. They made sure she had everything she needed and also took extra attention to make her routine as similar to what she is used to at home. We will happily rebook with them in the future!”
“Vicki was very welcoming and also accommodated my early drop off time and late night pick up for my puppy. Despite him being a puppy that is not completely potty trained she welcomed him warmly and when I picked him up afterwards he was exhausted from playing all day in her yard with her dogs! Thank you for a good first experience on rover :)”
“First we have used rover and it was awesome. Jennifer was super quick with her response/booking and dropping off ren was smooth and easy. Our kids loved the videos she sent each night of our dog playing and enjoying her time there. Would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”
“This was our first Rover experience and Lauren was fantastic! She has excellent communication and I immediately felt at ease with our initial meet up. She sent us regular updates and pictures and definitely showed our energetic dog a great time with walks, cuddles and lots of ball throwing!! Thank you Lauren!”
“Jael was a great Rover find and we will definitely book her for future stays! We received regular updates and photos while we were gone. Gus got lots of attention from Jael and her family (as seen in photos). We are happy to have found a new Rover home for Gus. Thank you Jael and family!”
“Dakota is very experienced with working dogs. She provided my dog with lots of exercise, and was very communicative with questions to make my dogs stay comfortable, and in answering any questions I had. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”
“Sophie was super professional and communicated with me consistently. She sent me photos and updates and was even understanding with picking him up late due to holiday traffic. As long as I am in VA she will be my go to sitter. Boogie was very happy with her and so was I knowing he was in such good hands! Thanks Sophie!”

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.
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 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.
