“Toby just loved it there! He had so much fun! I loved that I received photos and videos through the entire stay! Tony was well loved! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him!”


“My dog, Penny, hadn't been to Sheena's in approximately 4 months. When we turned the corner to her house Penny started to get excited in the car and couldn't get out fast enough to greet Sheena! Not only do I enjoy all the videos and updates Sheena gives me while Penny stays with her, but its obvious my dog loves her stays at Sheena's too!”

“Our dog ? felt very much at home with Dana. He was well taken care of (including giving him his daily medication) and even found a friend with another boarder. We will be using Dana as our primary boarding choice. She gets FIVE stars from us.”

“The most amazing doggy sitter on the planet i think. She loves animals so much you can see it and feel it when talking to her. My doggies seems so happy there. Plenty love and attention. I felt comfortable leaving them there. Good home. Excellent communication. Very kind person. Absolutely will recommend her to everyone and absolutely will use her again (if she will have us). Fantastic experience.”

“Noelle’s love and care for our dog have completely spoiled us. After seeing how happy and well cared for Mosie is, we can’t imagine ever boarding her anywhere else. In fact, our biggest worry when we travel is whether Mosie will want to come home when we get back! She absolutely loves her time there. It’s truly a home away from home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

“Roger and his family were great. Amazing communication. We got lots of updates. Our doggy came home very happy and tired from getting to play! We will definitely be having Roger sit for us again!”

“Mariko is the best! She didn't hesitate to agree to provide care for our 15 year old Aussie that has a few health challenges, and she took such great care of him. Each time I came to pick him up, he was a very happy and calm boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Mariko care for our dog again if needed and I highly recommend her!”

“As usual, Bruce had a lovely time with Katie and her family. I always appreciate the updates and photos. It makes me feel like he’s being very well cared for. See you next time!”

“Ronak did a great job watching and taking care of our dog Marv. We had plans fall through and he was able to watch him last minute no problem. He sent pictures and updates often and always responded quickly. We were able to enjoy our trip worry free knowing Marv was in good hands! We will definitely reach out to Ronak again in the future.”

“My dog was well taken care of. She seemed happy to have spent time in such a wide open space. Eryn was great at sending photos and reporting on my dog's condition. We will try and us”

“Tiffany and family were fantastic. It did not take long after we dropped our dogs off for them to feel right at home. Kylo can be nervous around kids but had no issues with these ones. In fact, he crawled into their laps for pets. I definitely recommend this family, they treat the dogs like members of their own family and my dogs fell in love quick.”

“Erika was great, she was able to take care of Stella last minute due to an unexpected change in plans for our trip. She was responsive and sent pictures of her daily, which help put us at ease. Would work with her again and recommend to other.”

“Jessi was amazing! She was very understanding and flexible when I messed up the drop off time and sent daily updates! I would definitely recommend using her for your fur babies! Finn came back so happy and tired from all the playing!”

“I recently boarded my dog with Karen and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Karen was incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog. She even accommodated my dog's health needs and administer his daily medication without any issue. When I picked up my dog, he seemed so happy and relaxed, which reassured me that he had a great time during his stay. I highly recommend Karen to any pet owner looking for a safe and loving environment for their dog while they're away. Thank you Karen.”


“Leslie was awesome with Meiko. This was our first time leaving our one year old dog and we were a little anxious about leaving him. She reassured us and kept in touch everyday, sent us pictures and video clips. She gave him lots of love and cuddles and he enjoyed playing with her puppy (Joelle). Will definitely leave Meiko with her again!”

“I cannot express the amount of detail and love that he puts into caring for our dogs. We've done everything you can imagine: dog boarding, PetSmart, friends and family but we've never had such an amazing experience with George and his lovely family. Our dogs were welcomed with such open arms while checking in with us to see how they are doing. The care they received was above and beyond and I couldn't be happier to make him out exclusive dog sitter :)”

“Kaitlin took great care of my dog, Moose. He absolutely loved playing with Kaitlin's puppy and seemed to be very comfortable/happy in the photo updates that Kaitlin provided throughout the weekend. Kaitlin seemed well-attuned to Moose's needs and I would definitely have her sit for me again.”
“This was the first time I left my dogs over night so I was extremely nervous but Michelle and Samuel were so great! They sent a ton of pictures and video. Most of all they cared about our dogs like their own. My dogs looked so happy and well cared for. Thank you both!!”

“We were new to Rover. I was looking for a dog family that would spoil our pups! Brandon and Heather squashed all my anxiety about dog sitting. They welcomed us and communicated clearly, sent pictures, and made us feel at peace with our decision. Definitely will be using again- highly recommend.”

“Phillip was so responsive especially because our original daycare plans fell through and he was able to accommodate us so quickly. I got plenty of pictures of our dog Ellie and we can tell after we picked her up that she was well cared for!”

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 Upper Fairfax home-away-from-home, 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 Upper Fairfax.
<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 Upper Fairfax 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 , 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 .
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.
