“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”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with Fiona! We felt completely at ease knowing Fiona was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Amy was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Fiona like she was one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind to know she was being well cared for and getting plenty of love and attention. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which is all we could ask for! We’re so grateful to Amy and would absolutely trust her with Fiona again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and loving sitter.”
“Fast response - great updates on your pet while you’re away - keeping you feeling good that you left your “family member” with someone. Would def use again Ang highly recommend.”
“Anna and her family took absolutely amazing care of Zeus, our English Bulldog, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in a loving, safe, and attentive home environment. Anna kept us updated and treated Zeus like part of her own family, making sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. When we picked him up, he was relaxed and clearly enjoyed his stay, which says everything about the care he received. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love Anna and her family show toward the pets they watch. We will always use Anna in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”
“So nice that Katie and family have welcomed Aki into their pack. I know they really love Aki and it shows. Aki also loves having Blue as a play friend. This was our second time dropping Aki off for boarding. She's always excited to be there.”
“We interviewed three different people before choosing care for Woody’s first stay outside of our family. Woody is 3 years old, leash-reactive, a little naughty and stubborn at times, but overall a very sweet, playful, and affectionate dog. We specifically needed someone confident and experienced—someone who could comfortably handle a strong leash puller, stand firm with his stubborn streak, and not be intimidated by the behaviors we openly shared ahead of time. Bryan immediately stood out. From our initial conversations and the meet-and-greet a few months before the stay, it was obvious how comfortable and experienced he is with dogs. He approached Woody calmly and confidently, walked him on leash with ease, and demonstrated a handling style that instantly put us at ease. He also asked thoughtful questions about Woody’s behaviors that showed both understanding and competence in managing dogs with quirks and challenges. Bryan and Peggy have a wonderful setup for dog care: a secure fenced yard, a clean and comfortable home, and a quiet neighborhood with wide sidewalks and plenty of space for walks. One thing we especially appreciated is that they only care for one dog at a time, which is uncommon and was exactly what we needed for our Velcro dog. They also have several green spaces within walking distance, which we loved. At drop-off, Bryan took inventory of Woody’s belongings, reviewed my notes, asked thoughtful questions, and spent time playing with Woody in the yard to help him feel comfortable before we slipped out. It made for a calm, low-stress transition, and we were impressed by the level of care and attention he showed from the very beginning. Throughout Woody’s stay, Bryan sent daily updates with photos and videos, along with notes about Woody’s temperament and how he was doing. As nervous dog owners leaving him for the first time, we greatly appreciated the communication and reassurance. Over the course of the six-night stay, we could visibly see Woody becoming more comfortable and playful with Bryan—fetching balls, wagging his tail, smiling, and zooming around the yard. Overall, we would absolutely feel comfortable having Woody stay with Bryan again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for calm, confident, experienced dog care. Excellent communication and exceptional care from start to finish.”
“Angela was fantastic with our two senior dachshunds, Daphney and Phoebe. Her communication was excellent, she sent thoughtful updates while we were away, and her home was clean and welcoming. Most importantly, she took great care of our girls and made us feel completely at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Sheena is amazing! Very well prepared and ready for our crazy dog. Her and her family are so nice and amazing. Sent lots of photos/videos and gave us plenty of updates. Highly recommend!!!”
“Cindy was great with my dog! I felt confident and comfortable leaving him with her at her house. She did well to send photos and updates as time went on and was clear in her communication throughout the whole experience. I highly recommend Cindy for pet sitting!!”
“Yuna was an absolute gem to have caring for Pixel! From the start she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly put his wellbeing first. She always checked with us before giving him any food or treats, which meant a lot given how careful we are with his diet. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. Pixel got plenty of exercise and came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell Yuna genuinely loves what she does. Reliable, communicative, and caring. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely book her again! A special shout out to Mocha who was an Excellent doggo, he and pixel became good friends :)”
“Jasmine had another great time with Anji. We were gone for over a week and when we came to pick up Jasmine she was excited to see me but didn’t really want to leave. She has so much fun with Anji and she is treated like a member of her family. We will be using Anji and very soon.”
“If you’re looking for the right person to take care of your dog while you’re gone, and still have peace of mind, get Mariko. We appropriate her so much! Regular updates of Dart, our English Golden Retriever- through videos and photos. She poured a lot of love and affection and care. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Mariko! We are glad we found you!”
“We needed a last minute sitter and Carol was very accommodating. We arranged a meet and greet at her home and brought our little poodle. Carols home was clean and set up nicely for dogs. She has a completely safe fenced-in yard. Carol provided pics and updates which was greatly appreciated by us since we are retired and have rarely left her with anyone besides family. Carol is kind and loves dogs. She was also very kind to us ( the nervous parents) which was appreciated.”
“Kristine is awesome, got stuck in a snow storm traveling back. Kristine was very understanding. I’m very grateful I could leave my mooch with someone so wonderful. He enjoyed his stay!”
“it's a lovely family to leave my dog with. Cookie was well taken care of and had fun, also getting along with the cats well, extra credit to their son Brandon! highly recommended!”
“Our pup had her first sleepover with Anthony and it was a big success! Thank you, Anthony for the update and the many photos! It is wonderful to know she is in great hands and so happy! 🩷”

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 Mill 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 Upper Mill.
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 Upper Mill 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.
