“Kristina took great care of my dog Jake. I was nervous because he does have separation anxiety and another pet sitter felt he was more than she could handle. But Kristina is so knowledgeable and comfortable with all kinds of dogs, and she put all of my fears at rest. Jake loved running around her fenced-in yard, and he even got along with her dogs. I would definitely recommend Kristina’s services.”
“Marlena was great with Rainy while I was gone for the day. Rainy's need and comfort were a priority for her. She also sent me several texts with photos for mt peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again.”
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.
“Noelle was great! She took care of our boy Titan and he had so much fun hanging out with her and her dogs :) she kept him comfy and happy ~ definitely would book again !”
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs, with many different behaviors for many years. Working in a daycare setting to a few shelter settings. I have experience in grooming, training and I am CPR certified! I am currently solely focused on animal care. I may break my day or week into sections to allow myself time to spend with the animals. Open availability, dates and time are negotiable. Safety for the animal and myself is very important. Any signs of disturbances or harm will be acknowledged and addressed in a timely matter. I will also stay very communicative with the clients and with the emergency team. I will treat the animal and the home as if it was my own.
“Kristina is wonderful, she is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about all the dogs. This was Livvy’s first time at doggy day care and she had a great time, we will definitely be scheduling more visits!! Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“I don’t think it would be possible to find a sitter for my fur babies that would match Dianahh. I los my wife if 47 years last March. These ‘kids’ are so very special and important to me now. I was very nervous about boarding them. My wife was a Rover sitter for several years so I knew it was possible to find someone with compassion and Dianahh is that and more. Don’t look anywhere else. She’s perfect. John.”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Timothy took in my puppy Scrim right away. I have a 1 yr 3 month Cane Corso, I was very skeptical for leaving him for a long period of time. Knowing Timothy has experience with larger dog breeds made me feel 100% comfortable. Him and his wife is very warming and welcoming! He has great communication! I know Scrim had an amazing time! I highly recommend and I will be returning! Thank you!”
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 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.
“Cheree was amazing with our anxious dog! She made him feel comfortable and cared for from the start. Mac absolutely loves spending time at her house — we couldn’t ask for a better sitter 😊”
“Amazing! She cared for my 2 furbabies today. She was very responsive and made sure to update me with pics!! When I showed up my dogs were so happy and now they are home and tuckered out. My pups played with other dogs and had a blast. She provides a large open space for them to play in and keeps constant watch over them. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy day care!”
About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.
“Apollo had a great time at Hanna's house. He had so many other dogs to play with he came home totally worn out and slept the rest of the night. I will definitely be using Hanna's services again!”

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 Plain 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 2,016 sitters in Elk Plain, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
