“Hi Scott, Thank you so much to you and your family! You were all awesome and took care of Olive as if she were part of the family. She felt right at home from the very first day, and the atmosphere in your home was incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciate everything you did.”
“Michael was so helpful and even spent extra time with us to teach us some training for my puppy. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there for the day. Thank you, Michael!”
“Darby was excellent with our girl, Cass! This was our first time being away from our 6 month old pup and we felt so comfortable that she was in good hands! Darby took Cass on a few walks and made sure she got lunch, dinner, and good exercise. Cass seemed to have had a great time and was so tired from all the fun she had when we got home. We will definitely be booking with Darby again!🤍”

About: I have had pets of my own for over 30 years. I love all animals and think they all have different and special personalities. Currently, I have one dogs (Pembroke-Welsch Corgi) and one cat (a Maine Coon). I am available for weekday walks, evening care, and petsitting on weekends or longer if scheduled ahead of time. I can either come to your pet, take them to a park, or bring them to my home for socializing with my pets. Whatever you like! I have a fully-fenced yard and one friendly dog that can socialize with your pup(s) if interested. Otherwise, we can make accommodations for crating if that is requested.
“Sonia was great with my puppy Jack! She sent me updates and pictures of him, which made me feel very comfortable, knowing that he was enjoying his time while I was away. Thank you, we will be returning in the future ?”
“Caitlin has been amazing with Nai’a! Though Nai’a is an anxious pup, she liked Caitlin instantly when we met the first time. Since then Nai’a has stayed over at Caitlin’s a few times and once Caitlin watched her at our house. One of the biggest challenges with Nai’a is that she runs away from her sitters. But, with Caitlin it’s finally been working out well and I feel so relieved to have found a regular sitter! Caitlin sends photos regularly and Nai’a seems to have fun at her house with her pups. Also, she is really sweet and flexible. Thanks so much for everything Caitlin!”
“Beto had so much fun with Jennifer! Lot's of playtime with the other dogs, then got to curl up on the sofa for a nap. She sent a long a half dozen pics, two of which her husband took which are portrait quality. We will most definitely leave Beto with her again soon!”
About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ We currently have a 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle, an instant playmate to your furbaby! We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We are mostly home so we will spend a ton of time with your fur baby may that be on walks, quick trips to nearby parks and lakes (yes car rides!) or simply chilling in our zen garden. They are the boss of us! We care for them like our own and take into consideration what they are used to. Your fur baby's comfort is our priority. They will always have company and will never be left alone.
“Our little Odie loved his time at Rochelle's! She took such good care of him and he came home calm and relaxed every day. Great communication and wonderful location. Highly recommend!”
“Leanne was so attentive to Chloe’s old dog needs and helped me start thinking more seriously about the care she needs for her doggy dementia. I really appreciated the time she took to get to know us and help Chloe feel more comfortable at her first ever sitter experience”
“Such a sweet family! They took wonderful care of Tom and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone whose dog likes kids. He even had a personalized bandanna from them when he left!”
“Lauren was great with our little guy! This was our little guy’s first time doing doggy daycare. She made sure to make us feel comfortable and keep us up to date on his day by sending pictures and updates of what he was doing. Love that she focuses on one client at a time. Definitely recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tumwater
Deirdre was great with my energetic 8 month old shepherd mix! She took the time to do a slow meet and greet between my pup and her two (they were fantastic and so well trained), and kept me updated throughout. My pup is tired out and happy from her big day at Deirdre’s, I’d highly recommend her.
When I read Jerrie’s reviews, a lot of folks described their experience as awesome. They were right, awesome was the first word I thought of when I sat down to right this review. I needed last minute weekend daycare and Jerrie was thankfully available. Jerrie gave lots of updates and pictures, which a dog having the time of her life. In fact when we came back the next day my pup got so excited when she realized where we were. I love the Harper J had all the space to run and meet new friends. Highly recommend.
Bobbie has been fantastic with both of my dogs. Lily and Luke get excited to go hang out with Bobbie and Athena every day. Bobbie has been very kind, communinicative, and flexible with my schedule. I am grateful to have found someone who works so well with me and my dogs!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
