“Stanley is super responsive, super welcoming, and a truly dog lover! He and his wife Victoria took care of our doggies as their family. Charlie, their super cute dachshund welcomed them as well! We humans and dogs became get along so quick. They showed their place and explained how they will spend before confirming the appointment. That was very nice as well. Though, I asked him this appointment the last-minute, Stanley accepted it willingly and I could enjoy the day without any concerns. My Dogs enjoyed the time with them so much. They came home with "good tired". That is most important. My dogs have upcoming boarding appointments with him already. Can't wait for it! I highly recommend Stanley. *Receiving photos and videos didn't work well through chat window on rover.com so he sent those to me direct phone number. Thank you so much, again!”
“I think my puppy just had the best day ever! She is absolutely wiped and positively happy. Marina and Richard were very communicative as well! Really looking forward to having my puppy stay with them again.”
“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”
“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!”
“Judy made our dog Sofia both welcome and comfortable. Sofia took advantage of the hospitality, it seems, taking over the ottoman and suggesting that what she REALLY needed was a full-time groomer. We received regular updates and picked up a happy and healthy dog.”
“Alexandria is very experienced. After meeting her I was comfortable and confident that our little guy would be well taken care of. Not only does she provide good positive care, but she is also a bit of a trainer and a groomer! Our little guy can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. He had the opportunity to socialize with other puppers in a safe and nurturing environment. If I need care again, I will definitely book with Alexandria!”
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.
“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!”
“Dot had a terrific first day of care with Jaime. I got updates, pictures , she had time outside before it got too warm + snacks. She also SLEPT and came home tired which is always a perk. Much appreciated Jaime”
“This was my first experience using Rover for my 6 month puppy. My sweet girl was loved on while exercising and socializing. It was the perfect scenario for my pup to have when I’m working full days. I will definitely be using again! Mallory sends photos, updates and is wonderfully attentive. She also has a flexible schedule that helps with last minute changes in my own schedule and planning.”
“Jenny was great! She kept me updated on how my dog was doing including pics and videos. Also he seemed to have a great time with her dogs too! I’ll definitely use her in the future! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my house for most of my life. I’ve had very small dogs and giant breed dogs. The largest was 110 pounds. I have volunteered with the ASPCA in the Bay Area. I also have volunteered for many years at the Humane Society in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as well I’m a huge dog lovers that make our own food. There are also two parks within walking distance from our house. So when your pet stays with me, I will be able to take them to an off leash area multiple times a day. I am an early risers. Your pet will be at the dog park before 6 AM. We play at the dog park that early and take care of our potties. After that, we will come back home, and have our breakfast. The rest of the morning is watching me and my partner clean up and prepare for the day. A mid afternoon break to go back to the park and play off leash. If the park is full, I usually just take a long walk. I try to make sure that they get a couple long walks a week, just so they can get their sniffing in. In the evening, a much longer trip to the park to play. I generally feed dinner around 5 PM. Then cuddling and hanging out for the rest of the evening. I am usually in bed before 10 o’clock I will make sure that all small items that could be chewed up by animals is kept put up. I have many chew toys for the to play with to encourage playing with toys versus destroying property.
“Jay and Xinyu are great! They took very good care of our Golden, Nala and sent daily updates with pictures. They also helped socialize her with a pal that Nala got along with very well! I was more than comfortable with them taking great care of Nala these past two weeks and grateful they made her stay enjoyment! Would recommend them to anyone and definitely coming back in the future!”
“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.”
“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! ❤️”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“My pup was having a great day with Phoebe and Ginger. Phoebe provided regular updates to keep us posted and a report card that detail how his day went, what they did. Highly recommend Phoebe’s dog daycare service.”

Ted has stayed with bed and Mona three times and absolutely loves going there. Bens mother is so kind and caring with him, and they are always accommodating with scheduling and time restrictions. We feel completely comfortable leaving Ted in their care and highly recommend them!
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!

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.

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.
