“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
“Diahann did an amazing job taking care of my baby, and I know my pup had a blast with her as well. She is extremely accommodating, had great communication, and sent lots of videos, photo's and updates while I was away. Her frequent updates and videos, helped put me at ease, and I was able to enjoy my vacation, knowing my pup was safe, happy, and in great care. I also love the fact that she caters to smaller dogs, since my pup is just 4 pounds, this helped put me at ease as well. She takes time to play, provides frequent potty breaks, and her beautiful fenced yard accommodates small dogs as well, making sure there is no way to escape. I'm very grateful that we found Diahann. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Kaela treated Theodore like her own! He had so much fun there and came home completely pooped. She sent me pics and updates throughout his stay and it helped put me at ease. She is great!”
“10/10 recommend Katrina and her family!! They showed my fur babies the best care and love :) I felt extremely at peace with them being there! Katrina also sent updates of them everyday making my experience even better than expected! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“My Maltese Celeste had a wonderful stay with Ashleigh and her husband: lots of stimulation including walks around the lake, romping with her doggies, stealing their toys and being cuddled. Highly recommend her.”
“Kristine was amazing!!! This is our third time using Rover, first time using Kristine. She was by far the best person we have used on this app! She had great communication and daily pictures. We had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was super understanding and easy to work with! Unlike one of the other people we have used on here, she actually operates out of her home so you don’t need to worry about your dog being in a kennel all day! He got plenty of playtime and love from what it looks like and he was super happy and tired when we picked him up! We will 100% use Kristine again!!”
“Excellent communication and constant updates. Our high energy dog returned worn out after a weekend stay. Rachel has a great place to care for dogs and I could tell her kids enjoyed playing with the pups too.”
“Zeus had an amazing time with Sheena. She was amazing about updates and sending photos and videos. She took such amazing care of our boy. I will absolutely be using her again and will recommend her to everyone!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“My dog Rocky had a wonderful experience with Amanda. She was incredibly kind and accommodating when I unexpectedly needed her to keep my dog for an extra night. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I really appreciated her flexibility. Rocky was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her care. I would definitely recommend Amanda and will happily book again with her!”
“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Kristin was a great sitter. She promptly communicated. She was attentive to Pippin’s needs including administering her medication. Pippin enjoyed her stay and playing with the other dogs.”
“Jerrie is awesome!! We were in a bind last minute when our dog boarding plans fell through but Jerrie saved the day. I was able to do a meet and greet prior where my dog, Trowa, was able to meet the other sweet pups staying at Jerrie’s. Trowa instantly hit it off with the others and had lots of room to play and explore outside. Jerrie sent updates twice a day with tons of photos of all of the fun they were having which made us feel much more comfortable having Trowa stay somewhere else while we were gone. Jerrie is kind, caring, and so communicative, I definitely recommend reaching out to her for any of your furry friend needs!”
“Awesome, Justin & Sheena were amazing providers and my dog Snow felt at home. I highly recommend the use of their services, I am definitely a repeat customer and I know Snow look forward to future time with Rocky & Bow!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

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.
98% of sitters in Yelm 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 Yelm 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 Yelm.
<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 Yelm 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.
