“Nick was very easy and good to work with. Our dog was cared for while we took a whale tour. Nick sent lots of updates and pictures in a short amount of time which gave us reassurance and made us happy to see him. The communication was clear and fast. Generally, I’d highly recommend Nick & Rebecca and would use again. The only challenge is that they are located far from most of the day’s activities in the island so just plan properly. Being close to the ferry made it easy to prepare to leave after our time.”
“Bethany was so great with my dog Bean. She took him to the park, played fetch, and gave him so much love. He was exhausted after and I can tell he had the best day. We will definitely reach out to Bethany again!”
“Garfunkel had a blast meeting Jennifer and spending her days playing with her and the other pups outside! Garfunkel is typically quite anxious, but Jennifer quickly put her at ease.”
“Wonderful home for my dogs, she treats them just like I do! It's important to feel like your dogs are safe and happy and that's what Roxanne provides them!! Great caretaker, thank you!!”
“Moose and I loved his stay with Mika!! They were such amazing hosts for our boy, and we could tell when we picked him up he'd had a great time :) we will DEFINITELY be asking for you again in the future! Thank you again so much!!”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“Gabriel took great care of Winston and gave me lots of updates. Winston got plenty of walks and love and he was clearly a very happy pup when I returned. Really appreciated Gabriel’s flexibility as I reached out the night before. Would definitely recommend.”
“Tami makes every dog in her care feel like a loved family member! She has a huge heart for all types of dogs and easily many different personalities playing happily and in harmony together. I'm so thrilled Fiona and I found her. ?♥️?”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
“Im incredibly happy to have found Sara and her lil dog Lilly thru this site. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my 9 month old puppy Maia. I completely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Sara was very attentive to her needs an giving cuddles as she missed her family. As well as sent me pictures from yard shanigans to a fun walk with both our doggies. I cant thank her enough and will definitely be chosing for the future!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
“Alexis and Care First Pets are just amazing! My dog, Pia, loves going to daycare and boarding with them. They haves helped Pia grow her confidence around other dogs, and are very communicative and easy to work with. Would recommend to everyone!”
About: ✨ Introductory Offer — Limited Time Special introductory rates for new clients as I get started with pet sitting! ✨ ✔️Complimentary round-trip pickup & drop-off is also available for clients in Tsawwassen and Point Roberts with bookings of 4 days or more. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From an early age, I learned to appreciate their individual personalities, respect their boundaries, and recognize when they need attention, space, exercise, or simply some quiet time. While living in South Korea, I volunteered extensively with Dasom Rescue( in Seoul, Non-Profit Organization), caring for rescued dogs from a wide range of backgrounds and with many different personalities. I also volunteered as a flight companion volunteer, helping approximately 20 rescued dogs travel from South Korea to their new families in the United States and Canada. Today, I have two dogs of my own, rescued dog from Kill Shelter in Korea, whom I truly consider part of my family. I’m attentive to their daily routines, including walks, feeding, dental care, brushing, and supplements. As a dog mom myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your babies. Our dogs are family, and choosing the right person to care for them isn’t something we take lightly. That’s why I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your dog will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I would want for my own. ✔️ I’m home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I don’t have another job that takes me away from home. which means I can spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care and give them lots of attention throughout the day. ✔️ I also live right next to a beautiful park, so it’s easy to take dogs out for regular walks, fresh air, and potty breaks. Dogs are always kept safely leashed and supervised while we’re outside. 🐾. I can also adjust my routine to match your dog’s usual schedule as closely as possible, so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ ✔️I only care for one dog at a time, or a maximum of two, so , I can give each dog plenty of individual attention. ✔️ your dog does not have to share their space with a resident dog. If your dog prefers to be alone, my two dogs will stay with their dad at another house, so I can provide your dog with a peaceful, comfortable, and fully separate home environment during their stay. I’m especially careful to always know where the dogs are and to maintain a safe environment. I make sure there’s nothing within reach that they could accidentally eat or get into, and I always make sure their harnesses and leashes are secure. ✔️As a dog owner, I understand how important cleanliness is to your pet’s health and comfort. I maintain a clean, fresh, and welcoming environment, with sanitized floors, fresh bedding, and a comfortable space for every dog in my care. ✔️Dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, even for quick potty breaks. Our home is quiet and surrounded by nature, and I can provide a separate space for dogs who prefer some quiet time or need to be on their own. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾
“Yvonne took such good care of my pup, she is knowledgeable and super willing to work with his quirks and training needs! She makes sure to give such detailed reports of how they spend their day and she gives him great exercise! She also sends lots of photo updates!”
“Leslie is super professional, loves the puppies, and is very accommodating. I knew my buddy was in great hands when I left for the day…and her dogs made it fun for him to spend the day there. I HIGHLY recommend Leslie!”
“Lauren took wonderful care of our boys while we went to Vancouver for the day to ride bikes. It was great peace of mind to know they were safe, having fun, and were well taken care of while we were off doing our thing for the day. When we picked them up we could tell that they were happy and satisfied from a great day. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone in the area, or traveling through. If and when we come back, we’ll definitely bring our dogs to her again.”

Cierra was amazing with our puppy! We were in town for a week and Cierra was so accommodating with our puppy while we were on a whale watching tour. She took our puppy on walks and made a cozy spot for her to rest. Absolutely recommend and would book again next time we are in town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 183 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Buckhorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Buckhorn 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 183 sitters in Buckhorn, 92% 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.
