“Rachael is amazing with my dog! At first my dog was very shy but over time she has grown to love being dropped off for daycare! She jumps right out the car and goes right in when she realizes where we are at and there’s no better feeling than that. Rachel has always communicated with us daily when we leave our pup for longer periods, sending messages and pictures. She answers all of our questions and concerns from the beginning!”
“Wow. We are so grateful for Monica and Rover. We adopted a mature dog that has not been boarded before. After almost a year we started looking for an experienced sitter who could provide a quiet, caring environment. I signed into Rover and Monica’s Star Sitter profile popped up and she lives near me! Her communication is prompt, professional and she helped us get started with our first Rover booking after our Meet & Greet. We could not be happier and our dog did not want to leave when we picked her up!”
“Linda was great! She worked with my girl’s usual sitter to coordinate one day in the middle of a long stay that my sitter wasn’t available. She was very flexible, friendly, had excellent communication, sent pictures, and loved on my girl! Thank you!”
About: We absolutely love hosting dogs! Because we both work from home, your pup will get constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of daily walks. We have a spacious, fully fenced yard, perfect for burning off energy and getting the zoomies out! Plus, if your pup ever feels a bit nervous in a new environment, we like to make them feel right at home with a soothing treat like fresh scrambled eggs. Safety & Family Dynamics: We have a gentle 3 year old daughter who adores dogs. We actively teach her how to respect a dog's space, read their body language, pet gently, and stop immediately if a dog moves away. Either my husband or I is always within arm's reach whenever dogs are around, ensuring a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone. Experience & Activities: We’re comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Our experience ranges from hosting shy, play-motivated pups (like Border Collies) to raising our own German Shepherd/Lab/Rottweiler mix. When we don’t have a Rover guest, we foster dogs through a local organization. Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, backyard adventures, or just lounging by our desks while we work, they’ll be treated like family here. We both work from home so are home most of the day. We love walks around our neighborhood and have a large yard to get energy out. We have pick-up/drop-off listed as well for an additional charge. Lots of snuggles, walks and treats! Please feel free to bring their bed, stuffed animal, and favorite toys to make them comfortable. We will try to walk them (1.5-2mi/day) unless otherwise requested.
About: I am a fun-loving friend of dogs (and cats) who will make sure your babies are safe, loved, and having fun while you are away. I've been a dog/cat mom for more than 40 years. I have excellent dog training skills, having trained my dogs over the years. I've also cared for senior dogs with special needs. I have a large, fenced yard and can offer overnights as long as your dog gets on well with another dog. Here for you and your babies and will make sure they get all the love and attention. 😍 I'm currently working PT from home, so I'll be able to keep your pet safe and will be home for them all day (unless I need to run an errand or something). My routine is easy-drop them off, and I'll handle the rest. I can even transport them if you need help with that. I have a large, dog park-sized yard that is fenced. If your dog isn't an escape artist, they will be fine here. Lot of room to run and play. :) I can always walk them or be with them when outside should you prefer that. I have a 6yo large dog who loves other dogs and will enjoy company. Dogs at my house can be on the furniture or the bed, or crated as you desire. I know what it is like to leave your baby, so I am happy to care for them in any way you'd like. I can do a 25-30 min walk with them in my neighborhood, and or I can let them run in the yard with a ball or a frisbee. You let me know! If you need me to come to you, no problem. I can come check on them, walk them, play with them, or whatever you need!
“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about Nicole and her kindness and compassion for dogs. I have a super weird, passive, slightly neurotic dog and Nicole has managed to bring out the puppy again in her. Nicole is always flexible, (my work schedule is also neurotic and weird) and happy to see Luna. Her house is a safe and welcoming place for dogs!”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
About: My husband and I have always loved dogs! Both of us grew up with many furry animals, which included 2 black labs, a pit bull, multiple small cats, a boxer, and a dachshund! Through our childhood and now adulthood we have learned to care for and love our animals as part of our family. Our 6 year-old black lab is incredibly sweet, but does still act like he’s 2 haha. I work from home with my daughter, so your dog must be okay with small children/toddler. We recently moved to Marysville where we have a medium/largish sized fenced-in backyard, so the dogs can get lots of run and play time! I work from home only 2 hours a day so the rest of the day is filled with toddler and dog fun! My daughter naps in the afternoon, which is when get some work done and my dog has down time. Then once she’s up we’re up and moving around again! We have a fully fenced yard with absolutely no cracks. We make sure of that for our own dog, so that is priority for us with every dog. We also have space if your dog needs a crate.
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
“Having Jiahna care for Gideon has been a real pleasure. She was very helpful and flexible as we did a meet and greet and evaluated if Gideon would be a good fit. She took time to ask really good questions about Gideon and learn all she could so it's the better care for Gideon. From the get-go, Gideon loved being at her house and sharing time with her puppy. It was a good fit. I always knew that Jiahna had Gideon's best in mind, and I always got good reports at the end of the day. So very glad that I got to meet and have Gideon stay with Jiahna. I highly recommend her as a safe and professional Rover person for your canine needs. Gideon will miss her for sure and I have really appreciated the care and great connection that she showed in caring for Gideon. 💜🐕”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cathan
I’m pretty sure Grayson found his new bestie, Monica! Monica gave us updates and photos during Grayson’s daycare visit. She has a large yard to explore, even though we heard Grayson was her shadow most of the time 🙂. We rebooked Monica for a weekend stay in the near future and looking forward to book Monica in the future.
Happy with the doggy daycare with Monica! I appreciated that she sent me updates and photos. My dog is a nervous, scared rescue teen puppy. We weren’t sure if it would workout because my dog nips a bit at times and barks a lot at new people. He did bark at Monica at first but then it went well - her house seems organized, relaxing and great set up for a visiting dog! Monica is clearly good with dogs and reads them well. Thank you for the clear communication!

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 Cathan 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 2,713 sitters in Cathan, 89% 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.
