“This is our first time using Rover. Introduced Frank to are 2 dogs before deciding that he was a great fit for us. I have an 18 year old deaf 45 pound mutt. My son has a 5 year old 60 pound Alaskan Shepherd that he rescued. We believe she had a hard life till now. It takes a while for her to earn your trust, but once she does, she is such a sweet and loving girl. Frank took his time and let her trust him at her own pace and are now friends. We had Frank come every day while I was gone and my son was working. He fed them, let them out and played with our Shepard and gave love and pettings to my old boy. He sent us pictures and updates every day on how they were doing. We were very happy with Frank. We are planning on requesting him in a couple of weeks while I'm gone again. We highly recommend using Frank for your pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I previously volunteered at iHeart Dogs, where I worked with rescue dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds. I also have personal experience training my own dogs, including a high-energy pup and a senior dog with epilepsy who requires daily medication. What sets me apart is my understanding of both behavioral training and specialized care. I’ve worked with dogs on basic obedience, leash training, and socialization, and I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and injectable prescriptions. Whether your pet needs structured training reinforcement, extra patience, or just lots of love, I’m here to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care. Dogs make my world go around. I’m lucky enough to be able to provide care for those who can’t always be there for their babies, and nothing makes me happier than helping families ensure their pups are loved, appreciated, and well cared for! I am currently working part time at a gym weekday evenings and weekend mornings. I am available for walks or play dates weekday mornings and early afternoons or weekend afternoons/evenings! Sundays I am free any time! :) For in-home care, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where dogs have room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. If a dog is boarding with me, I introduce them to my own dogs slowly and safely to ensure a smooth transition. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I do their pets. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so pet parents feel at ease knowing their furry friend is happy and safe. I’m also experienced in handling dogs with special needs and can administer medication as needed. No matter the service, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, fun, and loving experience for every pup in my care! Also love taking photos and videos of dogs- happy to send you everything of your dog I have or if you prefer privacy I am happy to respect your wishes and not take any photos or videos if that is what is requested! (No judgement here!!) I am not offering overnight stays at this time but might open up to this opportunity if I become close with a family/dog and I feel there would be a good fit! :)

“This was our first time using Rover.com and we are very pleased. Lauren was awesome! She took great care of our kitty for the week we were away, visiting her daily and sending regular updates and photos to us.

Kelly was absolutely wonderful with Mocha💕 She kept me updated throughout every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell that she genuinely cared about Mocha and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was reliable, communicative, and very sweet with my little girl. I would absolutely book with Kelly again for future trips or whenever I need someone to care for Mocha. Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🐾
Hannah did an awesome job taking care of my dogs while I was away! I could tell they were really well taken care of and got plenty of attention, which made it so much easier for me to relax and not worry about them. She was very dependable, kept everything taken care of, and treated my dogs like they were her own. I was also so impressed when I got home because my house was absolutely spotless! Everything was clean, neat, and exactly as I had left it. It’s not easy finding someone you completely trust with both your pets and your home, and I would absolutely have Hannah take care of them again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and great with animals. She definitely deserves 5 stars!
Sarah is new to our dog, Bailey, today. Having only first met Sarah, we are impressed. She asked questions demonstrating experience with caring for animals and particularly job. We are comfortable after meeting with a Drop-In visit, that we can rely on Sarah for her soon visit for the next appointment.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Washington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
