“I love the fact that Maria takes care of small dogs only. My little Layla loves coming to her house! In fact, after staying there just one time, she pulled her leash towards the house the moment she saw it again. Maria’s house is spotless and she takes wonderful care of her guests. I highly recommend her to anyone with a small dog.”
“Miriam took great care of Frodo and made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay with her. We received constant updates and she was very responsive to our questions / requests. We also appreciate her flexibility and kindness - especially when we were having challenges getting last minute arrangements due to a family emergency. Will definitely book her again!”
“Glad to have left my Teddy at Kristina’s care. I knew he would be well taken care of while I was away. Kristina initiated the meet-and-greet which I very much appreciated. I’m always hesitant to just drop off Teddy somewhere new without meeting first so it was cool that Teddy got to meet Kristina and family and their fur baby Luna first before spending a few nights over. Kristina kept me updated with pictures and texts. And I’m grateful she adjusted time of pick up as well. Definitely recommend Kristina to watch your fur babies.”
“Sammy and her roommate took excellent care of my old pup! They let him roam the house, sleep wherever, and be himself. They did great with his medication and feeding schedules, and even took him for a car ride! I will definitely board with them again! My old guy loved spending the weekend with them and it was obvious when I picked him up!”
“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!!”
“Jairo definitely enjoyed his 2 weeks stay with Linda. She took care of Jairo just like her own, and she managed and maintained Jairo’s hygiene and cleanliness. All Jairo’s supplies and toys were returned in great condition. I would definitely recommend and hire Linda P for all Jairo’s future caretaker needs, both Jairo and I totally love and trust Linda P. Thank you so much”
“We are so grateful for Daisha and Tam for taking such excellent care and loving Cocoa. When we picked up Cocoa, she was clean, smells good, happy! Thank you for all the photos/updates you sent us everyday. Daisha and Tam and their clean home and beautiful big yard are just perfect!!!!”
“James was an absolute fantastic sitter for our dog snoopy. We loved the daily activity James had with snoopy and the care he put into our treasure. Will definitely use James again.”
“Luna and Winston had a great time with Daria. The two felt comfortable at her place from the moment they arrived. Daria updated their stay with pictures throughout the weekend — which was great seeing how relaxed they felt.”
“Matt is an awesome person and took such good care of our pups. He’s attentive and communicative and I deeply appreciated how much he enjoys watching after them. Plenty of photos, videos, and updates, which always makes being away easier. Can’t recommend Matt highly enough - I’ll definitely be staying in touch!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dogs, they had such a good time and got to do so many fun things. I got lots of photos and updates. It was such a great experience I will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Kimiko was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our dog. She sent lots of updates with both text and photos. Our dog clearly had a great time! We will definitely hire her again.”
“What a great family to leave our dog with! He was instantly part of their family. So comfortable in their cozy home. Lots of walks and multiple photos each day. We will use them again and would recommend this family.”
“Joe was wonderful with our pitbull and shih tzu! He was thoughtful, communicative, and attentive both before and during their care. He gave them plenty of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Sherman was very happy and well taken care of while staying with Marla and BooBoo! He has medicines that he has to take and she gave them to him every morning. When is his medicines can be increased as needed for arthritis and she was able to see when Sherman was hurting and needed an increase in his medicine or a lower activity level… he’s an old boy ❤️. BooBoo was a great friend for Sherman to have an around during my extended vacation. Marlee kept me updated and sent pictures and Sherman just looked happy in all of them! She even gave him a bath before I picked him up!! And I broke my wrist while on vacation and she was more than willing to extend the stay by the extra day that I needed. I really appreciate Marla taking care of Sherman and I will definitely use her services again!!”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Morris & Bryan we’re excellent sitters for Dash. He was walked often and spent a lot of time at the dog park running and playing. He made friends with Goog and Xanadu and they were sweet enough to let Dash take over their beds ?. Morris and Bryan were really accommodating, friendly and took great care of my pup. Oh and pics… I got a ton of pics… Definitely going to be a repeat client. Thanks guys!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% of sitters in Vashon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Vashon 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 Vashon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vashon. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Vashon 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
