“It was great to be able to leave Lily with Kaitlin when we were gone for 4 nights. We had only left Lily alone once before, but she had a lot of fun playing with Fletcher. We really appreciated Kaitlin's text updates and photos. When we picked her up she was tired from all the fun, but not overexcited, which told me she had really enjoyed spending time with Kaitlin and her sweet family. Thanks for taking care of our baby so well Kaitlin!”
“Rhonda is amazing with my timid girl! This is our second stay and our pup was so happy with Rhonda and her sweet dog Brodie. Communication was great with updates and pictures. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our girl received.”
“Ashleigh is the first dog sitter in 45 years whom we have trusted to take care of our two small dogs outside of our home. Her home is lovely, and has a large, safely fenced yard. She has three of her own small, sweet rescue dogs. But all of those are just additions to Ashleigh's obvious love of dogs, her warm and wonderful personality and level of caring. Jacob and Thomas were safe, well cared for, exercised and loved. We received pictures daily, and when Ashleigh wanted to get to know them better she asked all the right questions. We've already booked a second stay! What a relief to know you can travel and your four-footed babies will be SO well cared for! Thanks, Ashleigh!”
“AMAZING pup sitter. Highly highly recommend Kevin for overnight pup sitting. They are a very caring and responsible person and it was clear they spent lots of quality time with our dog. Our dog loved the farm and the new human friend.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
About: I have a 4 year old Catahoula mix named Hoku. Our favorite thing to do is go explore new trails, hike and play outside. We would be happy to take your pets along! My husband is a photographer and we will send updates daily with all the photos you would like! I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family. I am happy to help with yours! I am working part time so can spend most of the time at home with the puppies. I am available for long weekends and afternoons. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog to keep your pet company. If your pet is crate trained I am happy to accommodate for that.
“This was our first time using this service and our first time leaving our pet with someone other than friends or family. Jesse made us feel comfortable and took such great care of our Moogie! Will definitely be using his services again in the future!”
“Our dog Willie stayed overnight with Caitlyn in her home while we were visiting from out of town and had an event. Caitlyn’s communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Caitlyn sent lots of pictures of videos throughout the night. When I went to pick up our dog he was happily playing in her fenced backyard with Caitlyn’s dog (Copper). I highly recommend Caitlyn!”
“Jasmine was awesome! She took great care of our dog and we will be using her moving forward, she sends lots of pictures and even took our dog on a few runs! She has a nice backyard so he can play too.”
“Ren took awesome care of my dog Scully! ❤️ She sent me updates everyday with pictures of him, I felt super secure and comfortable leaving him with her. He didn’t even want to leave her house haha. Thank you so much! I’ll book again!”
“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“My dog loved his vacation with Dana and the family!! He was so comfortable he didn’t want to come home… not kidding! I am happy to know my dog has a new vacation spot when we are away for our travels.”
“Great person to comfortably take care of your pets! Larissa made sure we got photos and informed about any type of updates on our fur baby. I would definitely let her host my puppy again anytime any day!”
“Kyley is so wonderful!! She took such great care of our elderly dog and always kept us updated so that we never had any worries. I could not recommend her enough!! I really am so appreciative to Kyley, she’s the sweetest!!”
“Tim was awesome!! My dog has really bad separation anxiety but Tim willingly provided for his needs and kept me updated on his condition at all times. He was super understanding of Max’s nervous behavior and kept him safe. I definitely recommend Tim for all your pet’s needs. My dog wouldn’t stop licking his face when we left Tim’s place. I will definitely be using his dog boarding services again and you should do as well.”
“Darcia, Thank you for the great care of our family member, Boba! We’re glad Boba had a good time with your dog. Your calm and reassuring attitude really helped us know that Boba was in good hands. Thank you again! Andy”
“My pups had a sleepover with Cystal recently. They are five and ten years old and have never stayed at any other home. it was amazing how happy and callm my puppies were saying with Crystal. Crystal has a very calm demeanor and the pups loved her from the moment they met her. I would highly recommend Crystal and would love to have her watch the pups again.”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”

Leanne is amazing! She kept our dog Winry safe and happy this weekend, with LOTS of love, adventures, play, and treats! We really appreciated all the detailed and frequent updates/pictures. Leanne did a nice job asking lots of questions and taking great notes prior to booking, then made sure all our wishes and Winry's needs were respected. She was also flexible with pickup and drop off times. Thank you for taking care of our lovebug so we could have peace of mind on our wedding weekend! 💜
Jennifer is the absolute best. She treats our dog like her own and he is always excited to stay with her. Her communication is fantastic, she sends regular pictures and updates. I always know our good boy is in the best hands with her. She will always be our first call!
Jerrie was wonderful! Tango spent Saturday night with her, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was super flexible and sent pictures and updates, which we absolutely loved! It was great knowing Tango was in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again. Thanks, Jerrie!
My anxious senior dog had a great time with Annmarie. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos. He was so happy and relaxed when we picked him up and he didn't go on a hunger strike like he normally does when we have to leave him for a few days. Highly recommend!
Bobbie has been Scooter’s sitter for nearly a decade, and I trust her completely. She genuinely loves Scooter and treats her like family, which means everything to me. She is reliable, kind, communicative, and always makes me feel at ease when Scooter is in her care. Scooter is older now, and Bobbie is patient and attentive with her needs. I’m so grateful to have someone who knows her so well and cares for her with so much love. Highly recommend Bobbie!
Lauren is the only person we would leave our Frenchie with for our longer vacations. It means a lot to be able to go on vacation worry free knowing my boy will be so happy! The communication is top notch and the care unmatched. You are truly gifted at caring for animals and go above and beyond every time! Thank you Lauren!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
