“Alisha and Joshua worked wonders with our 12 year old dog, helping her get over her fear of other dogs. She had a great stay at their house with regular snuggles and exercise. I appreciated the daily photos and texts.”
“Seth was amazing with our dog. We have a very strong dog that has had some issues with reactivity and resource guarding. He has been through training, but isn’t perfect. Our dog really needs someone that will provide him with structure and hold firm boundaries. Seth did all that with so much care. I didn’t want my dog to impose too much on their family, so my expectations were just to give him walks and yard play time. Seth made sure he got walks, a ton of yard play, and indoor cuddles with his family. I highly recommend Seth! Thank you so much!!!!😊”
“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”
“Ruslana was so easy to schedule and coordinate with. My little guy loved staying with her- always happy to get dropped off with her and always happy when I picked him back up!”
“Shamaeka was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my dog! She consistently kept me up-to-date on his status, provided lots of pictures twice a day, gave him lots of love and attention, and was extremely understanding and accommodating when I had a delayed flight. I would absolutely recommend Shameka to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I intend on using her again. 5 Paws from Cannoli as well!”
“Melissa took great care of Mac! He had a great time going on walks and cuddling up in the evenings. Melissa sent regular photos and I can see that he was spoiled with attention and good care! He was so comfortable with Melissa and family - I will definitely book with Melissa again!”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
“Mengyuan did such a great job with both my cat and dog. I received updates and pictures from her daily, she is very attentive and communicative, I would book her again and would also recommend her to anyone!”
“Came back to Charmaine with my second rescue years after her having sat my first. She’s always professional and trustworthy in her care of the pups and I could tell from the multiple daily pictures that my Korra was having a great time. Thank you again for having us!”
“My dog had a great time with Vadzim and his dog. I got lots of photo updates throughout the stay! Vadzim was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would recommend and book him again for future sits.”
“Marden is a really amazing sitter. Communication, pictures, dog walks and flexibility were 11/10. We've used a lot of sitters and my significant other and I were left super impressed. There were multiple dogs overlapping our stay, so be sure your dog is there right fit for that and comfortable to socialize make new friends.”
“This was first boarding experience at sitters home for my pet and Kenny took real good care and made sure to provide updates almost everyday and also provided good insight into my dogs behavior especially with another dog. Kenny also made sure to go one step above and made sure to accommodate my last minute pickup and drop off changes. I definitely recommend Kenny !!”
“Julie (aka SJ) is wonderful. I have an older, somewhat neurotic little dog who I thought only had eyes for me, but when I picked him up he didn’t want to leave, he has a new love! Super communicative, above and beyond - she’s the best.”
“Kimiko adores her dogs and equally extends and shares her love to our dog, Ebony. We feel confident and secure whenever Ebony stays with Kimiko. The backyard in which they get to play and explore is a magical fairy land garden. We used to board Ebony at a commercial place near Seatac but she would get panic attacks in her sleep after her stay there. With Kimiko, Ebony is returned to us happy, healthy and no panic attacks!”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“Stacey took excellent care of my golden and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved, and playing with her adorable goldens! I would absolutely book with Stacey again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“We loved Kizzie’s daily photo and story updates. It made us feel like our cat was well taken care off. I also appreciated her willingness for a meet and greet prior to boarding to see how the cats would like each other (moco and ours). She has a great set up to help cats integrate with each other especially if it is a first time!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterman
Jennifer has been an amazing sitter for Katsu. I love getting pics of our pup on adventures or cuddling on the couch. He’s always sent home with an extra toy if he shows interest. I know he’s well taken care of and even though we live in Bremerton, we feel the drive is worth it to know he’s sleeping in a sweet loving home and not a kennel. Thanks Jennifer for being awesome!
Anitra was so great to my Charlie Boy! I loved getting pics throughout the day and he seemed so happy. I also really appreciate her flexibility! I needed someone last minute and she totally came to the rescue allowing me to book the last minute boarding. Thank you and next time I’m in town I’m so ubioking her again!
Wish I lived in the area so I could bring my pups here every weekend! My boys had the best time and they are pooped from just how much energy they got to get out on her beautiful property! And on top of that I myself was able to fully relax and have an incredible weekend knowing that my dogs were in the absolute best possible hands. Would give 100/100 stars if I could.
Brianna was so sweet to our doggies! She sent frequent photos, and the dogs always seemed to be having such a good time with huge smiles on their faces! It was like they were on their own vacation themselves! They came home happy and tired and so well taken care of! We will definitely reach out to Brianna again when we need dog boarding.
Khayl is wonderful to work with and took such good care of my boys! My son-in-law recommended her to me and now I know why. Khayl has been so accommodating, friendly and gave us plenty of updates and videos of them while we were gone. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Khayl!
Emma was a breeze to work with! She communicated often and timely, she was warm and kind with me and my dog, and she went out of her way to accommodate us. Emma spent the time to meet Izzy and ensure her pups and mine were a good match. She sent lots of photos while we were away and I was confident my dog was in good hands the whole time. I would not hesitate to book Emma again!

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 Waterman home-away-from-home, 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 Waterman.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Waterman 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 , 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 .
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.
