About: I was raised with dogs since I was about 5 years old, and had cats since I was 10. I currently own two beautiful cats that I've had for about 5 years now. I have pet sat for others while in the military, and am excited to do so again! I quit my job so that I can attend college full-time. Until I start classes, I am completely free and available to care for animals. Once I start classes, I will still be able to pet sit and board on my off days and weekends. :) I live in a two bedroom condo with a green belt out back and several nice walking trails nearby. I do have two cats, so any dogs I watch will need to be gentle and play nice!
“Marina and Richard are amazing! I have left my 8 week old pup with them several times and will continue to send her weekly. They are so consistent and thorough in the quality of care they provide. The family is very loving and they go above and beyond- taking my dog to the park, feeding, playing, and snuggling with her. I also get a ton of amazing photos. I feel a huge sense of relief when I drop off my pup knowing she will be well cared for and loved.”
“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.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who works part-time from home while raising my two favorite little ones: my 2-year-old son and our playful 1-year-old female Corgi. Because my days are centered around staying home and keeping my own duo active and happy, I have plenty of time and love to dedicate to your pup. When your dog stays with us, they truly become a part of our family. I’ve been caring for dogs in some capacity since I was 14 years old—back when "babysitting" almost always meant pet sitting, too! As an adult, I spent over 13 wonderful years caring for a bonded pair of rescue dogs. One of them had been returned to the shelter three times before he found me; I was his last hope, and to this day, I say he was the best 50 bucks I ever spent. Having them for their entire lives gave me deep experience with a wide spectrum of canine needs, and I bring that same patience, commitment, and understanding to every pet I watch. 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!
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: 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.
“Alex has taken great care of my dog while I've been at work. She made sure he was comfortable, got along with with the other dogs, and gave him all the love and attention he wanted.”
“Ellen and Larry are wonderful people! Our dogs enjoyed so much with them we could see and also, we human had a fun chat with them! They are very welcoming. Thank you! We will see you next time.”
“Thank you so much, Ben and family! You guys are awesome! Gunner literally passed out when we got home. Haha! He had a lot of fun at your place. We'll bring him back for sure. So glad we found 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!”
“Mallory (and Chris and their pups!) are awesome!! Not only do they take excellent care of my playful puppy, Mallory & Chris are just plain delightful & cool humans. 😄 Great communication with plenty of updates on how Birdie is doing, w/pics and videos to brighten my day while I'm at work. They really put my mind at ease as a new dog mom to a very tiny pup, and as someone who is new to using Rover for doggy daycare services. Birdie is always very excited to see them even though she's often a bit timid with new people, and she has a great time playing with their boxer Rocky 🐶 who is very sweet and gentle with Birdie despite their difference in their size. 😊 We look forward to visiting again soon! Thanks guys!”
“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!”
“Thank you Cheryl for taking such good care of Molly and also crating her, as requested. She had the best day playing with your pup and also being loved on. Epic levels of photos and updates throughout the day which was above and beyond!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Quinten provided for my dog Penny. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Quinten to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

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 July 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 4,131 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.
