About: WELCOME TO THE PACK! my Husband an I have been doing dog boarding and sitting together for about 2 years an I have been doing it individually for about 5. We have two lab mixes, a staffy, an a jackrussel mix in our home with us whom we love deeply. We are used to working with different personalities around an love incorporating new pups into our lives getting to know them an keeping them comfortable. I live on a large forested property in Redmond that's fenced in, we love to get to know new personalities an our pups will never pass on a new play mate. I work 4 days a week at a grooming salon my husband is home 24/7 with boards. We like to spend time outside but if the weather is bad it's cuddle central inside. We do about 4 or 5 potty breaks a day an one or two good play sessions outside before settling into the evening. Outside time is monitored the whole time to ensure everyone is safe and happy while playing in our beautiful yard. I am comfortable giving oral meds an insulin shots to our dearly beloved friends. We are a medical issue an disability friendly household that can take care your best friends needs with the upmost care. We also have experience with Giant breeds an petite alike so please bring your "horses" an lil "bed bugs" to play or cuddle we don't discriminate. I have a special soft spot of senor dogs an their powdered sugar faces an will do everything to support our senior citizens in their twilight years. I have plenty of enrichment toys, treats, an orthopedic beds to meet your old pals needs. I do not provide care to cats, not because I don't want to I'm sadly allergic. I also do not provide care to unspayed or neutered pets unless they are under a year old, please be understanding of this. Did you miss your flight or did it get delayed/canceled? Your road trip is taking longer then expected? No worries I'm happy to work with you as long as I'm updated! I LOVE ANIMALS putting in the time an dedication to an animals care, needs an happiness throughout their stay. I like to give updates an send photos. My favorite is seeing how excited a dog gets during pick up after a stay it's so heartwarming an just flat out adorable. I would love if you made a lil resume/cover letter for your pet on their needs, typical schedule, habits, an anything I would need to keep an eye on. I expect all dogs that come into my care to be dog friendly for the safty of all pets involved with reliable recall. I like to accommodate pets to the best of my ability I get immense joy from being able to take care of animals of all kinds. I would love if in your animals care package they have at least 1 toy, harness is preferable, something that smells like you an your home like their bed or a blanket (animals are smell based so it a comfort), their food bowl, dog food enough for the stay. An a little letter at least to tell me feeding an walking schedules.
“Our boy came home tired and happy from his daycare. Ana Clara was very attentive and considerate of our anxious puppy’s needs, and made sure to send pictures showing him relaxing and settling in. Highly recommend her!”
“Hyeyoung K. was absolutely wonderful! She is so sweet and made our pups feel right at home! This was a new experience for Remi and Ruger. Hyeyoung K. was so pleasant and easy to talk to, which gave us peace of mind leaving them with her for the day. She also sent many adorable photos, videos and updates of our pups, which we loved and appreciated! In addition, she was very flexible and accomodating in regards to drop off and pickup, which was helpful. Her pup, Happy, is also sweet and enjoyed having a playdate. We highly recommend her and her family if you need someone to watch over your furry friends.”
“Maritza and her family were amazing with Nina. This is the first time we have left her at someone’s house and we could not be more pleased. I received tons of photos and video updates and I could tell she was having a ball and came home so happy. I can’t wait to have her stay with them again!”

“Zach did an amazing job with our dog Kaia, who is 2 years old and very shy. Zach went above and beyond to accommodate Kaia and make sure she felt comfortable during her first stay with him. Zach took Kaia for a walk at Soaring Eagle, to the pet store, Beaver Lake dog park, and spoiled her with ice cream and treats. We really appreciate the quality time and great care Zach gave to Kaia. We will definitely use Zach again for future day care and boarding!”

“I always say, if my dogs come home and sleep for hours, that means they had a blast with their sitter, and that is exactly what happened. Kim was great, she sent photos of the dogs, she was very nice and very responsive. I will use her again to care for my two dogs.”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving Grimm for her very first daycare session (ever) with Janin. I was really pleased to get the updates and so pleased Grimm was comfortable and happy! We’ve never been apart before and it was nice to hear the separation was tolerated by her. Janin’s efforts to provide a comfortable environment made all the difference for Grimm.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Cathy did a fantastic job welcoming Tater tot and making him feel right at home. Which is not easy task, with my anxious little dude. Cathy took excellent care of him and even let him get some more experience interacting and playing with other dogs. He greatly enjoyed all the time he got to run around outside and came home one very happy and tired out pup :)
Maritza and her family were amazing with Nina. This is the first time we have left her at someone’s house and we could not be more pleased. I received tons of photos and video updates and I could tell she was having a ball and came home so happy. I can’t wait to have her stay with them again!

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 Ames Lake 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 3,681 sitters in Ames Lake, 88% 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.
