“Melissa is highly professional, personable and gave me excellent feedback on how the pups did for her and with other animals! Love her welcoming personality and gorgeous, safe property! Highly recommend! My dogs were very happy and well cared for with Melissa!”
“Very accommodating with my short notice. Communication was great. I felt very comfortable leaving my girls in Tracy's hands. Her home was very pet friendly, clean and just homy feeling. I received the cutest photo and video of the girls playing on the bed and enjoying all the comfort of the blankets and pillows. Tracy was great and I truly hope the girls get to go back to her house for daycare. Definitely recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Kate, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me- It’s my full-time career, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it. I grew up with dogs and cats and currently share my home with a dog, two cats, and three gargoyle geckos. Over the years I’ve also cared for bearded dragons, snakes, axolotls, spiders, and isopods, so I’m comfortable with both traditional and exotic pets. One of my greatest strengths is working with pets that need a little extra patience. I have experience caring for highly reactive dogs and understand how important it is to move at their pace, read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or reactive, my goal is always to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because pet sitting is my full-time focus, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets won’t be rushed into a quick visit between other obligations- they’ll receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know every pet is an individual. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some want endless belly rubs, and others are happiest just having a calm companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and personality, whether that means long walks, enrichment games, cuddle time, or simply giving them space when they need it. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pets are doing. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable while your home is treated with the utmost respect. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior cat, a reactive dog, or an exotic pet with specialized needs, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Because pet care is my full-time career, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide variety of booking needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends and most holidays. Whether you need a last-minute drop-in, a consistent daily schedule, or care while you’re away on vacation, I’ll do my best to work around your needs. Since I don’t have another full-time job competing for my attention, your pets receive dedicated, reliable care and aren’t rushed between appointments. I know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so I’m happy to accommodate schedule changes and last-minute requests whenever my calendar allows. My goal is to make finding dependable pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to ensure they receive the best possible care. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including highly reactive dogs, and I always use calm, patient handling while respecting each animal’s boundaries. For pets staying in my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and enrichment while supervised. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
“my two boys had a great time on their stay with Mary. we were able to book last minute so we could do some vacation stuff and the boys were in great hands! would 100% book again and recommend!”
About: Every dog that visits us here at Green Bluff Pastures absolutely loves it—and it shows! They run straight to the gate with tails wagging, eager for another day of freedom, fun, and friendship. This isn’t a place with crates or cages—it’s a farm where dogs get to be dogs. We’re located on peaceful open land in Colbert, with a large, fully fenced play area where pups can roam, explore, and just enjoy being outside. They chase, sniff, roll in the grass, and bond with both other dogs and their trusted caregiver—me! I’m out there with them, playing, giving belly rubs, and making sure everyone is safe and happy. Every dog gets personal attention here, whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior. I focus on making each one feel comfortable and cared for, just like they’re part of the family. And because safety and cleanliness are top priorities, you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Dogs love coming here—and they can’t wait to come back. We’d love for yours to join the pack! Come by and see for yourself—we’d love to meet you and your pup!

“Olivia was attentive to Gemma not feeling comfortable when first arriving. Great to see later Gemma was running around having a great time. Olivia is very communicative and responds quickly.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I have 19 years of pet experience. We have a small farm. I’ve also helped my mom on rover for the past few months. I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child,love dogs,cats, chickens , cows, horses,you name it! Will definitely give your family member love and care while you are away, whether at my house or yours! Currently not working elsewhere,our little ranch is busy. We have Dogs, Kitty's, chickens and fish in our little water feature,so am available to spend lots of time with your family member! I have a kennel available and my dogs and cats are wonderful! Obviously,we will talk about leash walking as we free range our chickens and would never set someone's family member up for failure by putting any animal around things they are unfamiliar with. I am equipped to deal with situations if any of the animals ever seem uncomfortable! Also have a new smaller fenced area!
“Mandie was a lifesaver when she was able to look after our dog when I had to have oral surgery. She was quick to respond and took great care of him. If I could give her six stars I would.”
“I’m thrilled to have found wonderful care providers for my beloved dogs, Sunny and Bandit. Although our relationship is new, I’m confident they’ll care for my pups for many years to come.”
“Excellent service. Heather is friendly and attentive to the puppies, she sent good update photos, she was able to accommodate one of my pups needing medication, and her property is a great and exciting landscape for walks. We would love to rebook with her in the future.”
“Georgia’s home was a fantastic home for my dog to have fun and be safe in! He played well with her dogs and was super easy to communicate with! Will definitely be boarding with her more often!”
“Lynda is just wonderful. So flexible, responsible and communicative. We have a high energy puppy, and Lynda always cares for her so well. Lynda is our go to for doggy day care for our pup. Would highly recommend!”
About: Misty (my sweet 8-year-old Lab) and I have three acres to play on, with Chickens, ducks and dwarf goats to play with. We are outside almost all the time, weather permitting. If you want your dog to get a lot of attention and have a lot of fun instead of just sitting around, we might be the place for you! I'm retired so am available most days (Sunday through Friday) for extended hours. I am always with Misty so if we find the right dog or dogs to hang out with us I will be very flexible about hours. We have three acres completely fenced, although I am in the middle of upgrading the fence from 4 feet tall to 6 to keep out deer. In the morning we feed the animals and water the garden and ornamental flowers/bushes and trees. Then it is play time or projects. We play fetch, take the goats for a walk on the property, or go on an adventure walk to visit neighbor dogs and smell all of the things! In between playing I work on projects around the property. Planting, harvesting, landscaping, etc. In the heat we take breaks inside with air conditioning and in the cold we take breaks to warm up but we'd almost always rather be outside where the fun is!
“We were nervous about leaving our dog, because she tends to be anxious around new people, and she was shy about playing with Sabrina's dog during the meet and greet, but everything went fine!”
“Lindsey and Leland are the nicest people in the world. They made Laika feel like she was a member of the family and were very accommodating of my schedule on a last minute booking.”
“Frodo came home happy and exhausted. He was taken care from the get go. Lance took time to understand and see who frodo was. You can tell he handled him with care and one of his own. We look forward to having Frodo spend time with Lance and his dogs again. 🐕 thanks for the updates on how we was throughout the day.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elk. 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 Elk 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 293 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 293 sitters in Elk, 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 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.
