“This was Emma's first time with Stanley and Victoria. Stanley was very prompt replying to my request for short notice day care and even spent time on New Year's Day for a short meet and greet. Emma was happily tired from walks and playing with other dogs and very relaxed when I took her home. It's great to be able to leave Emma in good hands with Stanley and Victoria.”
“My senior pup loved snuggling with Judy all day while I was at work! Judy took excellent care of my pup, providing her with frequent potty trips and her afternoon meal! When I picked up my pup, she was cozied up in her bed and didn’t want to leave :) I will definitely schedule with Judy again. Plus, drop off/pickup was super easy as she’s in a convenient location and there is a free parking garage right under her building!”
“Butters came back happy and tired. They kept us informed with a lot of pictures and videos. They had multiple dogs at the place which i think makes it fun ! they took good care of him”
“If you are in the position to need someone to watch your fur family member, look no further than Marina and Richard. They took in our 14-week-old puppy two days in a row for daycare. We were able to focus on what we needed to do, knowing she was in good hands. They have a few dogs and daughters who taught our pup some good socialization skills. She came home, happy and tired. We are so grateful for her care!”
About: I treat each pup like part of the family—whether that means sticking closely to your dog’s routine, giving extra cuddles, or providing gentle care for seniors or high-energy playtime for puppies. My home is safe, calm, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax or play. I send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving hands. As a retiree, pet care is truly a part of my everyday life—and something I genuinely enjoy. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My daily routine is built around keeping dogs happy and comfortable, from morning walks and playtime to relaxed afternoons and evening cuddles. I keep a calm, quiet home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed, and I’m always available for feeding, potty breaks, or just spending quality time with them. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like one of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and bedtime routines—to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, supervised playtime, and cozy naps. I give each dog plenty of personal attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or just offering a warm lap to curl up on. If your dog needs medication, special meals, or extra care (like for puppies or seniors), I handle it all with patience and attention to detail. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.
About: We offer exclusive, single-client dog boarding, meaning your furry family member will be the only guest dog staying in our home during their visit. Unlike sitters who host 3 to 5 dogs at once, we focus entirely on giving one dog our undivided love, structured routine, and individual care. If your dog prefers a calm, attentive environment over a chaotic multi-dog setting, they'll feel right at home here! Why Dog Owners Choose Us 1-on-1 Dedicated Care: Your dog gets 100% of our focus, affection, and attention. A Built-in Best Friend: Our friendly, dog-loving pup loves having a playmate around to share toys and lounge in the sun. Kid-Friendly & Loving: We have a gentle toddler, so we cater to dogs who are calm, friendly, and love being around family life. Safe & Secure: Fully fenced yard for safe potty breaks and outdoor playtime, plus frequent daily photo and video updates so you never miss a beat. Important Notes & Safety Requirements Because we have a resident dog and a young child, the safety and comfort of everyone in our home is our top priority. We require a mandatory Meet & Greet prior to finalizing any stay to ensure: 1. Your dog is friendly and comfortable around young children. 2. Our dogs get along well and play nicely together. 3. Your dog is fully crate-trained or comfortable relaxing indoors. I have a 1 year old corgi and a 2 year old human. Mornings are often spent outside with a walk to the park or time in the yard. After lunch consists of naps by both the toddler and dog. Afternoons are varied with more outside time depending on weather and dog will get a second evening walk after dinner. Yard time is typically when we are outside together unless requested by the dog. My corgi often asks to go outside to chase birds or squirrels. In my home your dog will be treated like my own: plenty of pets and cuddles and play. Just please be ok with a toddler interacting with you dog!
“Alexandria was so amazing with Tater! We had a meet and greet and I could tell Tater was going to have a great time! Throughout the day I got videos and I knew Tater was in great hands! Thank you for taking good care of Tater. He is sound asleep right now!”
“Myra (and Ulysses) took wonderful care of Sherman! She sent lots of pictures and updates during the day. Her space is really nice with a huge fenced yard and lots of places to drink water and lots of interesting things to look at and sniff! She will be watching Sherman for a longer period in a few weeks and I feel so confident now in her care of Sherman! ❤️”
“Zoey had a blast with Jason and his family for daycare. She came back happy and tired, which is the best thing you can hope for. Jason's daughters were about ready to adopt Zoey, so we know they treated her like a pet of their own. We will definitely consider Jason and his family next time we have a crazy day or a trip planned!”
About: Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I offer gentle care, fun playtime, and dependable routines so your pup feels right at home. From zoomies to snuggles, I adapt to your dog’s energy and needs. Expect thoughtful updates, lots of love, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every wag, woof, and goofy moment. I work from the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but I’m available for pet care before and after work on those days. I have full availability on Mondays and Fridays, as well as weekends. I make time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins, ensuring each pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and fully set up for a dog-friendly stay. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, a doggy door for easy access, and spacious halls that allow dogs to move, play, and relax comfortably. I also use an automatic food dispenser to help maintain consistent feeding routines when needed. I carefully follow your dog’s schedule, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether your pup loves playtime, quiet rest, or a mix of both, I provide attentive, patient, and loving care with regular updates. I also have a calm and playful pup named Rana who is friendly and well-socialized. I ensure slow and safe introductions so every dog feels relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free. Rana is gentle, adaptable, and enjoys having furry guests.
About: i’ve always had a pup in my life. From chihuahuas and pitbulls to my shiba of 5 years i’ve had a diverse experience with all pets and understand they require unique attention I work remote so we usually step out every 2 hours for fresh air and some sniffs to help keep us balanced and regulated through the day my pets have access to a first floor balcony and we live in a secure community with a dog park that’s just a short two minute walk away
“So glad to have found Quinten after our former Rover caretaker moved overseas. He clearly loves dogs and it shows in his gentleness and patience towards them. Like many of her kind, our French Bulldog can have bursts of high energy. Some Rover caretakers who are less experienced can be overwhelmed with her quirks, but Quinten was not only unfazed but seems to appreciate each dog’s unique personality. He sent plenty of videos and pictures during a short day care. We look forward to our next stay with him.”
“Phoebe has been an excellent find when it comes to our search for a safe home for our little dachshund to spend the day! Phoebe is very responsive and open to the drop off and pick up times that met our needs! We get lots of updates of how our little pup is doing throughout the day, which helps ease our mind and know that she is doing well! Phoebe is a great fit if you are looking for a spot for your dog to spend the day! We highly recommend her!”
“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”
“Thank you so much Lilia and fam for watching Gunner. It can be hard leaving him, but knowing he was safe, loved, and kept busy made all the difference. I could tell he had an amazing day because he came home happy and content. We appreciate you!”
“Jay and Xinyu were amazing. Right from the meet and greet, they had set a very reassuring tone to our expectations. They were meticulous about taking notes about Maya's needs and requirements. Maya had such an amazing time with them and she was very well taken care of. They are DEFINITELY dog people. They also sent us regular updates and were very communicative. Will definitely reach out to them again whenever travels come up. Thank you guys!!!”
“Dahye was amazing with my pups and very loving! She and her husband were very conscientious and showed both my babies the perfect amount of attention. My girls were very happy with their play date and worn out on the ride home!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairwood
We left our fur baby with Leslie for one day to get him accustomed and ready for his 1-week boarding. Leslie took such good care of him and sent lots of photos and videos. Her home is very welcoming and safe. We feel much better now knowing Mochi will be staying with Leslie.
Jay & Xinyu asked great questions at our Meet-and-Greet so that they could take the best care of Coco. They did a wonderful job making our young dog with separation anxiety feel comfortable during his stay and sent us plenty of photos so that we knew he was well taken care of.
Simone was wonderful! Very welcoming environment for Maple 😊. I really appreciate how upfront and real Simone is. She must of kept my dog entertained because she is home worn out and tired after I picked her up after work! Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for a genuine, respectful and understanding sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fairwood on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 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 Fairwood 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 4,129 sitters in Fairwood, 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.
