About: **Meet and Greet Required for all New Clients** I am certified graduate from Animal Behavior College with over 15 years of experience caring and training dogs. I own Awakening Companionship, a positive reinforcement training business. Having worked professionally and personally with a variety of dog ages, breeds and personalities, I understand the importance of personalized pet care! I currently work from home as a graphic designer, except for one or two days a week subbing at SBL School District or when I see dog training clients. I do have two cats and three senior dogs, so staying close to home for their needs would align with any pet I am caring for. *New Clients must be crated trained!* This is to ensure safety around my other pets during feedings and sleeping/naps. For the safety of you fur- family, I ask that they are comfortable in kennels* I have a fully fenced shady back yard, two loving kids and three sleepy senior dogs to keep your fur baby company during their stay. There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!
About: I have 27+ years experience caring for all kinds of animals but mainly dogs and cats. I really find it rewarding and I enjoy helping animals. I love walking them, brushing, bathing, teaching basic tricks like sit/shake/stay, playing with toys, playing fetch, rewarding with treats! I can also dispense vitamins/supplements, and/or medication accurately if needed. I have experience with pregnancies and older dogs and cats. I will customize your pets care plan to what works best for them. I am widely available through the entire week. I'm very flexible and reliable. Usually I am free during most days and nights. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet your amazing pets, and provide the best quality and safest, care and attention for your loved ones. I have a house with a large open fenced in yard with grass. I have a large crate also if needed. I also have 2 small very friendly dogs of my own here, a Malshi male (Shih tzu/Maltese mix) and a purebred Maltese female. A peaceful and safe environment for all of your pets!
About: I have volunteered at the Seattle Humane Society for 12 years, and I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, cats and dogs. I am also an English bulldog owner and lover of all animals. I would love to help care for your furry friends and family members! I am available for walks and drop ins, primarily during weekends. I am also available for boarding and overnight stays at my home throughout the week! If you are looking for boarding at my home, I have a fenced in yard to keep your pet safe, and one English Bulldog who is very friendly and gets along with other animals.
“Maggie loves coming to Madeline's house. Madeline is quick to answer messages and extremely sweet. Maggie comes home exhausted even though there's no other dogs there when she is there. It means that they're spending quality time with her and that means a lot to me. I'm grateful for Madeline and her home and her sweet family”
“Roger is a fantastic doggy darecare. My Shepsky loves going over to their house. Roger and his family treats our princess like their own. They are very friendly and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Lord for guiding us to Diahann for her services. You knew how fearful we were to leave our sweet pea in the hands of others to watch while we are away. The comfort sweet pea displays with her brings comfort to our hearts as well. We are extremely grateful and blessed to have Diahann and her husband in our lives and look forward to future travels knowing sweet pea will be taken care of. Joseph and Julie Warner”
“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”
“Jessica was amazing and took such great care of my doxie Frankie for last-minute daycare while I was in town for a wedding ☺️ she sent lots of lovely photos and videos of Frankie and her own doxies playing together throughout the day... absolutely melted my heart. Will definitely be back!”
About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.

“Ingrid took great care of Coco for a day, going for walks and to the dog park. We could tell at the meet and greet that Ingrid loves dogs, and that our pup would be in good hands! Coco was happy, and we will definitely bring Coco back to Ingrid. Thank you!”
“Really nice and easy to work with. Friendly family. Listened to our long-winded instructions and guidance when we met about how to take care of our dog. Nice home with big backyard for our dog to play in. Communicative and sent photos. Our dog seemed super happy when we came to pick him up. Will be a regular =^_^=”
“Anna was so kind, professional, and supportive. My dog has separation anxiety and she handled him extremely well. She took pictures and videos, sent updates, and gave a recap of what they did while he was either her. 10/10!! If we are in the area again we’ll definitely be choosing Anna.”
“Meredith took care of Genny during the day while we were having some home repairs completed. Genny had a great time, and came home tired after spending the day playing with “friends”. Meredith communicated promptly and sent pics of Genny having fun through the week. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Our dog can be a bit nervous, but he handled everything perfectly. He was patient, attentive, and truly understanding of our dog’s needs. It meant so much to know our pet was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs almost every week on the weekends along with sitting for my neighborhood dogs, cats, birds and guinea pigs while they are on vacation or away from their home. I am comfortable feeding dogs, interacting with them and I love to give lots of love. I am familiar with giving medication’s to dogs if needed. Your animal will be in good hands as I will love them as my own. Whatever an owner needs for them and their dogs to be well cared for, I can accommodate. I work from home, so the dog will always be accompanied with me. we’ll have plenty of playtime, outside time and potty breaks. I provide at least 2 walks a day and several Potty breaks from 7 am up until 10 Pm. I have a fenced yard where they can play as they like and they can hang out inside as well. I am very interactive with the dogs and love to send pictures.
“Leslie was great with our pup. With this being our first time using Rover I was a bit nervous leaving our guy with someone. But Leslie allowed us to do a meet and greet with my pup and her and her dogs, and they hit it off great. It was comforting to know that he’d be treated with the same level of care as when he’s home. When the day finally came to leave him, my pup was nervous being left behind and I was nervous leaving him, but that anxiety was eased by regular updates with texts, a picture and a video. She really was amazing and her husband was pretty awesome too with supporting her. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! Thank you Leslie for being so awesome with your care of my fur baby:)”
“Julie and Dennis were wonderful with our dog. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures. Our dog had a wonderful time with their and got himself very comfortable in their big backyard!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Carbonado
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,498 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carbonado. 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 Carbonado 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 1,498 sitters in Carbonado, 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.
