“I cannot say enough positive things about Alyssa! I give her 11/10 stars. She was so absolutely wonderful with my pup, kind and responsive and caring. This is the best Rover experience I've had thus far by miles. I will definitely be rebooking in the future 💜🐶”
“Great experience from start to finish. Communication was clear from the beginning and updates and photos were provided regularly. Looney was well looked after during his stay.”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“This was our first time ever having our dog sat, and as any nervous-dog owner knows, that comes with a lot of anxiety — for the pup and us! From the very start, they made him feel completely at ease. They were caring, thoughtful, and professional in every way. A special shoutout to Chloe, their daughter, who took amazing care of him — playing with him, helping him de-stress, and giving him the time he needed to warm up and feel comfortable. By the end, he was genuinely happy! We honestly can't say enough nice things. We'll only be using them from now on. Highly recommended!”
“This is Daisy's fourth or fifth stay with Paul and Arnel - every time she is spoiled & treated as one of their own! It is such a comfort to know how loved on she is when she visits them.”
“Anastasia was very generous in accommodating me and my newly adopted rescue on such short notice. I could instantly see the love and passion she has for caring for dogs. She kept me updated and I could see that my dog very much in good hands, would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”
“Claire was great! Excellent and clear communication throughout the whole process and gave regular photo updates. Murphy had a great time and is excited to go back.”
“With just moving to the Vancouver area we were hesitant about leaving our boy with just anyone.. we met up with Steve first to see how he would do and we felt confident that Stanley would fit right in. Steve did a great job and Stanley came home tuckered out😎. He sent us videos and pics while he was there and that was awesome… I love that our baby can play with other dogs and get that socialization.. would recommend Steve to anyone…”
“Allison was great and super accommodating to not only my pet, Mochi, but also my travel plans. Grateful to have met her and would totally book with her again!”
“Kristina had great communication with many updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was quick to respond and flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. My dog seemed to be enjoying himself too! Will definitely keep her in mind for future trips.”
“Carrie was such a great sitter for our shy, older dog. Easy to communicate with and sent us lots of photos throughout the stay. It was very clear that our dog had a great time!! Would definitely recommend and hope we can book again for any future trips!”
“Very professional. Sent great updates and her pups played great with my dog Patton. He had his own vacation for the weekend and I can tell he is tired after all the fun he had. Would definitely use again if needing.”
“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Elaine was amazing with my puppies! Her home and yard were clean and she was very communicative before and during the visit. She kept me updated with videos during the day which I really appreciated. My dogs had so much fun and were worn out by the time I picked them up. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Elaine!”
“Our dog Murray fared well on his first trip away from home. He's a rescue of less than a year so needed some TLC. Michelle knew how to ease him into their household. They were able to identify allergies and treated him like he was their dog. Thanks so much”
“Genevieve is a stellar sitter! We felt confident travelling, because we knew our pup was in good hands. Peace of mind is priceless. She is an excellent communicator and sent us photos often so our hearts were at ease. We truly appreciate her care and will book her again soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washougal
Rochelle and her family were absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog anywhere other than a kennel. She listened to all of our concerns and made all of the accommodations to make us feel comfortable in leaving him. We received several check-ins and photos/videos which made our trip out of town worry-free. He loved playing with the kids and made himself right at home. We will definitely be using Rochelle for any future 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.
94% of sitters in Washougal 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 Washougal 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 Washougal.
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 Washougal. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Washougal 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.
