“Kyle & Marissa are the best! Super easy to communicate and work with, and really welcoming and awesome with our pups. Moose & Bunny played, took a walk, and came home super tired, which is always what you hope for. We got updates and photos, and felt totally comfortable leaving them. This is a great family, and we'll definitely book with them again. Fun fact: they even sent us home with a goodie bag from their apple trees and garden! Thanks, y'all :)”
About: I have owned and cared for pets for all of my life but it’s been a big part of my life over the last several years. Friends have dropped off pets at my home on 1.5acres, close into Woodinville. My own pets are very, happily socialized to enjoy visiting pets. There is a large fenced, fully landscaped yard to wander and always attention, pat’s and treats to go around. I will be working part time so no more than a few hrs away from the home a couple days a week. Fun times ahead! I have a large, fenced yard and a monitored doggy door to allow for potty brakes and free roaming. My dogs are well socialized and a little on the older side so tend to just hang out during the day.
“Aina was great with Duke. He doesn’t like being away from us and being with new people, but she was able to make him like her and her daughter. So cute! Would definitely recommend her as sitter 💓”
“Tunyi took such wonderful care of our dog! I felt very comfortable leaving him with Tunyi- she was amazing with communication and updates so I could rest easy knowing he was in good hands. My dog thoroughly enjoyed himself and can’t wait to go back!”
“Tracy really helped us out by accommodating our dog who was still healing from surgery. My husband also had long hours for work while the rest of the family was away. We are very happy to have found you. Thanks for taking such great care of our dogs!”
“Candra and her family took such great care of our dog! They were so loving and attentive to him. They cared for all of his needs. He had plenty of yard space to explore and got regular walks. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. He came home very happy and we would absolutely book with them again!”
“Xi did an absolute amazing job watching our little Bubu! Bubu has stayed with her and always has the absolute best time. Every time we drop her off, we know she’s in great hands. Xi is incredibly responsible, attentive, and always keeps us updated with the cutest photos and updates. It’s such a relief to see Bubu so happy and relaxed. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and will definitely keep booking with Xi!”
“Amy and her family took great care of my 9 months old Hugo. Hugo came back happily tired from playing all day. It must have been a great experience for Hugo to spend a day with a family with dog friends to play with. It was our first time having Hugo stay with Amy & Shelby home and I felt very safe and comfortable. I would be a repeat client for sure! Thank you very much!”
“I was in Atlanta for the weekend and Luis watched my excitable dog for 12 hours on short notice. He is great. He went above and beyond and I would recommend him to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and now in a position (I'm retired) to help others. As a pet owner I have trained Labradors, Walker Hound, mix breeds, and enjoy all types of dogs. I like getting dogs outside for walk or play. I'm doing this not for the money but I simply love dogs. My wife and I are in our go go years and plan to travel, but when we are home I can help board on our 1 1/3 acre (non fenced) yard or i can simply come take your dog for a walk. I am retired and have a hobby (efoil). My typical day is to go out on Lake Washington for a couple hours in the morning 2 to 3 days a week and efoil in the morning. Than I am free other than house projects around our home. At times we plan to travel, but trips are known way in advance. I have a big yard but it is not fenced, I do have a kennel I can setup at the back of my house with a covered area. I live close to Cottage Lake and would take your dog for walks down to the lake and around the trails.
“Yen took great care of Poppy and did an amazing job tiring him out. He is a high energy pup so finding a sitter who can meet his physical needs is not easy but everything seemed to work out! Than you Yen.”
“This was my second time booking with Karina. Bunny had a fun time with her. She is great at taking him on walks and sending updates. Appreciate it🙃”
About: I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer! I grew up with many dogs and helped to train service dogs in high school. I work fully remote from home. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to give all the attention to our furry friends! I love to go exploring on the weekends and would love to adventure with, or pamper, your 4 legged bestie. I am a very responsible caretaker! Pets are family, I would never treat them any other way. Paying attention to little indicators can make a huge impact on relationships with pets. Dogs can tell us so much! I live in an apartment close to multiple parks that I walk to weekly.
About: I’ve raised my own Golden Retriever since he was 8 weeks old, so I have real daily experience caring for a dog through every stage of growth and routine. Through caring for him, I’ve become very familiar with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly love dogs and understand how important it is to treat them with patience, attention, and affection. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide dogs with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take them out every 2–4 hours for walks or potty breaks, depending on their usual routine and needs. My neighborhood also has a nearby trail, which is perfect for walks and extra exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I can give dogs a safe, comfortable, and well-supervised environment. I am also available on weekends and holidays, which makes it easier to accommodate different schedules and last-minute care needs. I offer a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. My home is non-smoking, located in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone in my household is very friendly and welcoming to dogs. We do not currently have any other pets, which can be a great fit for dogs who do best in a peaceful environment. We also have a yard for outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision, safety, and each dog’s comfort. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, relaxed, and at home.
“Steve was great! It was a last minute booking. We had to stay in a hotel over the weekend and we had our dog. We knew she would whine and bark if we left her but we had relatives come to town unexpectedly. He is very prompt in his responses and sent multiple pictures, even in a few hours that he had her :-). I would definitely recommend Steve!”
“Amy took excellent care of Hazel! We were a bit anxious as Hazel had had some tummy issues before we dropped her off. Amy was careful and gave her small meals which worked well. Hazel also got a walk and playtime and came home happy. We will surely send Hazel to Amy again.”
“Zappy is fantastic!! Super communicative, which I really appreciate. Her dog is sweet and gets a long with mine very well, which helps his anxiety. My dog is always super stressed at drop off because he hates to be away from Mama, but after only 5 minutes, I get a picture of a happy and relaxed dog! I've definitely had sitters with whom he didn't relax and he always looked stressed/sad in pictures, but never with Zappy! She engages him in his favorite activity (fetch) and definitely treats him as if he were her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rebook in the future.”

Karen is the best! We have had nothing but the best experience with her. She takes extremely good care of our pup while we are at work and when we get her home she is happy, tired and well exercised. Karen has good communication, very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend her.
Kyle & Marissa are the best! Super easy to communicate and work with, and really welcoming and awesome with our pups. Moose & Bunny played, took a walk, and came home super tired, which is always what you hope for. We got updates and photos, and felt totally comfortable leaving them. This is a great family, and we'll definitely book with them again. Fun fact: they even sent us home with a goodie bag from their apple trees and garden! Thanks, y'all :)
John is a dog lover and took very good care of Rory, a 3-year-old goldendoodle. This was Rory's first time away from home staying in an unknown home with other doggies, so I know he took extra care and reassurance. John took wonderful care of Rory and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, John.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cottage Lake on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Cottage 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 3,663 sitters in Cottage 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.
