“Pickles probably didn’t want to come home he had such a good time at Joanne’s! She was attentive and you can tell her whole family was dog friendly. It was a great experience for us. Thank you Joanne and family.”
“Scott was wonderful at keeping us up to date on Copper while he was staying with him. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more, knowing Copper was in good hands.”
“My dog loved his stay with Sarah. She took him into her home on short notice and was super accommodating. She made sure I received lots of updates and photos and I could tell that he was having a blast in all of them. I would recommend Sarah, her husband and their pups to anyone looking for an attentive sitter for their dog. :)”
“Our two large dogs had a great time with Heather and came back so well-rested and happy! We really enjoyed receiving photos during their stay, seeing how much fun they had! Thank you, Heather!”
“My dog had the best time. Amanda is fantastic about sending updates and photos and I felt secure knowing my baby was in great hands while I was away. I picked my dog up sparkling clean, with a newly cleaned bed, exhausted from playing so much, and happy. I will 100% use Amanda again.”
“Very sweet and caring. She had other friendly dogs which was great as well. Purvi is also very patient. We were late with pick up and she was the kindest and kept open communication. Truly appreciate it.”
“Isabella, a was very attentive to Koa! He does not get along with people but he was cared for and pampered enough that he came out of his shell. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“First time leaving our boy Baxter with Trista. We were going away for a week and needed to know he was taken care of. Trista sent us a daily picture of Bax while he was outside in her large fenced in yard. Could have used a little more communication, but, for first time stay, we were pleased. Baxter, who doesn’t stay behind too often, was content when we picked him up and we could tell he enjoyed his stay. Would have Trista watch Bax again. Thank you”
“Amanda was so awesome! She gave me several updates while we were away, which really calmed my nerves since this was the first time leaving our dog, Asher. Asher got a ball to his eye, which irritated it a little bit and Amanda knew exactly what to do! She even gave us extra eye drops to go home with. Amanda has 3 of her own dogs and watches others, so I know Asher had a great time running around and constantly playing. We are so appreciative that our babe was taken such good care of!”
“A home away from home! Steven made my dog feel right at home and safe when we were getting renovations done. Everyday I got an update and pic which gave us comfort. He also responded immediately to our messages. Highly recommend and will request him again in the future.”
“Very simple…. Bianka is incredible! We received daily updates and pictures. This is the first time we left our dog with someone besides family - so at first we were nervous. What we soon realized was she gave incredible care to our pup. We will absolutely use her again!!!!”
“Jiyao and Yiting were amazing with Daisy! They sent us adorable photos and videos throughout her stay, which made us feel so connected. Daisy came home with a huge smile, still in her playful, happy mode. We could tell she had a blast—highly recommend these wonderful hosts! We’ll definitely book again!”
“Kevin S. responded quickly when I requested a last minute booking while he was traveling. We set up a meeting upon his return to see if Coco and his family were a good fit. This was my first time ever boarding any of my dogs. Everything went better then I could imagine. I received daily updates and photos. Even videos. Highly recommend.”
“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“Allison was great with my three furbabies. They were well feed and received so much love from her and her family. Thank you for taking care of them. She was super flexible and very kind.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washington
We had such a great experience! She was incredibly accommodating and was able to take Ellie on short notice, which was a huge relief since finding someone willing to care for such a young puppy wasn’t easy. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout Ellie’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. She even sent Ellie home with a huge bin of toys! Such a thoughtful gesture! We really appreciated everything and would definitely recommend her!
Peter and his wife were great! Athena came back happy, and I could tell she was well taken care of. They were super friendly, communicative, and very understanding when I needed to extend her stay. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I would definitely have them watch Athena again and highly recommend them!
Peter is highly responsible and provided excellent care for my dog, offering regular updates and pictures, and demonstrating prompt responsiveness in communication. He kept my dog engaged with play, ensuring he did not feel lonely. Undoubtedly, Peter will be my 1st choice for caring for Lucky during my next vacation, and I recommend him to other pet owners.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington.
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 Washington. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Washington 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 NJ 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.
