“Rachael is amazing, my dogs had a great day. They came home refreshed and ready to nap. Rachael also provided photos of their stay with updates. I Look forward to booking again and highly recommend.”
“Tally had a wonderful daycare/trial experience with Monica, and I loved getting updates throughout the day. She was in no hurry to leave after a day of walkies, exploring, playing with the hose, and sunbathing. At first I was a little nervous about having to find a stranger to board my dog with (especially a almost 13 year old terrier) but those worries were quickly put to ease. Tally had a great time at Monica’s and I’m sure she’s going to see her boarding in august as her own little doggy vacation.”
“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!”
“We love Nicole! What a gem of a find. We have been bringing our 11 month old dog to daycare, and it is such a game changer for us. She will be coming back to Nicole’s again and again! Libby is exhausted, happy, and secure at the end of a day of play. She gets to be a dog while I’m at work, which is how it should be. And I am so much happier at work knowing that she is having such a blast. The experience Nicole provides for the dogs is safe, healthy, and so dang fun - I’ve literally never seen our pup so tired. Her days at Nicole’s are improving her experience all around; her tendency to be nervous has settled, she feels more confident and just all around happy. Which is so cool to see. We are thrilled. Oh, and the pictures she sends absolutely make my day!!!!”
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.
“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.”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs over the years- German Shepherds to small dogs. Provided medications as needed. Ensured routines were maintained and treat them as I would my own. I'm available most days of the week as I work from home. I'm flexible so message me and I'm sure we can work something out. I have a fenced green space that is pet friendly. My dog gets along well with other dogs as long as they are calm and friendly.
“Bridget and Lou babysat my boxer and I was so scared as I have never sent my baby to a sitter before. We got to there house and Lou came out and greeted us and right away Diva took to him and I felt a little at eased. After I left I didn't even get to the bottom of the hill and I received a picture of my girl sniffing around the house, That made me feel a lot better. I told Lou I was very scared for leaving her and he assured me that she would be alright and I can call and he would be sending picture all throughout the day as he kept his word. I was able to see how my girl was doing and that made me feel 100% better. I will definitely be bringing Diva back when I need a pup sitter again. Thank you Lou and Bridget you guys are great 👍 👌 ❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“So thankful for the extra care given Gideon on late.Tuesday evenings when I had special events to take care of. Let go the extra mile of taking some amazing photos of Gideon, one that will be a real keeper for sure, has been much appreciated.”
“I have booked Kayleen a few times for doggy daycare, and she is great! Super flexible and accommodating to our schedule and needs. I appreciate that she always checks in before doing something that might make Mara anxious (like riding in the car), and Mara seems comfortable with her. Recommended!”
“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. 💜🐕”
“Was the first time Missy was left with someone not family. Very happy with Sheena in going above and beyond to make our spoiled little girl comfortable. Looking forward to boarding her with Sheema again in July while we go on a short vacation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cathan
Monica was wonderful and took such good care of our dog! We are new to Rover and she exceeded our expectations with communication before the daycare and all throughout. We would gladly inquire about her watching our dog again when the need arises. Such a wonderful experience!
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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cathan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,696 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cathan. 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 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,696 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of WA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,696 sitters in Cathan, 90% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
