“Sara is the best! She took the time to get to know my dog, There are never too many dogs here, And she gave Baodhi the special Attention she needed. I will definitely be coming back!”
“She is wonderful! Takes great care of our 9 week old puppy, and is very considerate of the fact that he is not fully vaccinated so she keeps him separate from other dogs. She is awesome!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
“Booked for three days, and everything went fantastic, She took great care of my dog and kept me updated. My dog was walked on a consistent schedule, fed on time and got plenty of attention. I could tell she takes the job seriously, I appreciate the photos and quick check in through out the day. Her place is beautiful and my dog seems to be happy. I will definitely book Minji again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.”
“Highly recommend Shay! She did so great at watching our two super high energetic pups. Every night that I picked them up they were so exhausted from playing they’d go straight to sleep. Shay and her husband were definitely a great choice! Super communicative, kind, and just very helpful!”
“My dog had a small incident where he attempted to run away and odalys and her husband handled it so well even got injured making sure he didn’t run away I truly can’t thank both of these two for how they handled the situation and how professional they are and will definitely recommend them to people”
“Marla took such good care of my pup Bear! She sent lots of picture and video updates of him running around with other dogs. Bear was definitely a tired pup when I picked him up! Will be bringing him back!”

About: I’m a current dog mom to a 1 year old lab/black mouth curr and a 3 year old Yorky Chihuahua. Since I was a child i’ve always had a genuine love for all beings. I’ve worked with pets in the past when I was younger but as my daughter got older I adopted my first fur baby at 8 weeks who is now three years old and then adopted my second at 9 weeks old. My background working in the childcare, caregiving and Mental Health field has shaped my skills with being intentional during all moments while maintaining trust, patience, consistency and good communication. I believe in caring for all fur babies the same way I’d want mine to be loved and cared for during my most busiest days. With working part time I am looking for independent and intentional ways of expanding my skills in community service while utilizing my expertise as a dog parent to two. I hope to have to honor to be a service and community member to you and your family. I am currently working part time but I am available to flex my schedule Tailored to family needs. I am available for walks between weekends, mondays and fridays 11:30-3:00pm and I am currently available for in clients home care between 10:30am-330 pm mon-friday and weekends depending on client needs. I am very flexible I care for pets as if they are my own, whether if I’m in their home or if they’re in mine, I focus on safety exercise affection, clear communication, and paying attention to each pets unique personality as well as their needs. I also tend to use observation skills so that way I can identify changes in dogs behaviors to keep parents/owners updated. I enjoy making sure that all pets are safe, loved and comfortable no matter the location or time.
“Couldn’t be happier with our pup’s stay with Keri. She was super friendly, accommodating, and responsive, and sent cute pictures during the day. She took great care of Tank and he came back tired and happy.”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
“Our english springer spaniel had a great day! Adrienne is so nice and just really great to work with. And she did a great job with our very energetic pup. Also, her place with lots of open space for the dogs to run is perfect.”
About: We don’t currently have pets of our own, but my experience with animals spans their entire lifetime. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Algona
We’ve been using Happy Tails for daycare and boarding for several years, and we couldn’t be happier. Our dog, Honey, is extremely anxious around new people, so finding someone she trusts is no small feat. Sara was amazing from the very beginning—Honey took to her right away, which honestly says everything. Sara has a special ability to understand and connect with dogs, especially those with unique needs. Knowing Honey feels safe, comfortable, and excited to be there gives us so much peace of mind. We love that she gets plenty of playtime with other dogs while also receiving attentive, individualized care. Sara is always responsive, communicates quickly, and consistently reassures us that Honey is in great hands. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for the dogs she cares for keep us coming back to Happy Tails every time. We highly recommend Sara and Happy Tails! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Booked for three days, and everything went fantastic, She took great care of my dog and kept me updated. My dog was walked on a consistent schedule, fed on time and got plenty of attention.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Algona commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,926 sitters in Algona, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
