“Rachael was so flexible and easy to work with! Quick drop off and pick up. My pup was scared the first day, but after day 2 was excited to go play with her new friends at Rachael’s. I was only visiting the area, but very thankful for her help with keeping Bonnie busy while I was working! I will definitely be reaching out if I’m ever in the area again :)”
“Marlene provided great care for my two older dogs over the span of several weeks. This is the first time I have ever had someone other than a family or close friend watch our dogs and I felt completely comfortable and at ease with Marlene. The only reason we are pausing care for now is because of a work schedule change and plan to go back to Marlene in the future for any dog care needs!”

About: Hi! I’m Ezra 😊 I’m a Clinton local and experienced pet caregiver. I’ve spent my life around animals, growing up with big dogs and cats and now working at an animal sanctuary for cats, dogs, and farm animals. Your animals get all the love in the world when I’m sitting, no matter their shape or size! I’m very comfortable with administering medications, high energy dogs, and senior and puppy care. Because of my background in animal welfare, I have a special patience for nervous dogs who might be wary of men, and pets/breeds who might be labelled “difficult”. I know how to give them the gentle intros and patience they need to feel secure and build the trust needed to keep them happy while you’re away. If that means extra meetings in advance of my stay, I’m more than happy to accomodate. Your pets feeling good and your peace of mind is my priority! Your home will be well taken care of when I come by. You’ll always come back to a tidy house, with clean litter, fresh water, the trash out, and happy pets. I adore animals of all kinds and can’t wait to get to know your furry (and feathered) family members! 🐾🩷 I work from home most days, and am lucky to have a 4-day work week. All that means I spend a lot of time with my pets! I’m an early riser, so in the mornings me and my dog will often be on local trails, off leash parks, at Double Bluff, or wandering our sleepy Clinton neighborhood. We love to play in my fully fenced yard regularly throughout the day. Fridays and my weekends are all about enjoying the beautiful PNW with my pup and I’d love to bring your pets along for the ride! In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture and treated like members of the family. Paws are wiped off when we come back inside, and everyone has free roam of the house. When necessary we have gates to seperate upstairs and downstairs areas, so if your pet needs some private time on their own couch, it’s available to them! At your house, I treat your space with the same level of care I give your pets. I’ll make sure the mail is brought in, your plants are watered, the house stays tidy, and the locks are triple checked. Because I work with rescued animals, I’m also very intentional about maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize any anxiety while you’re away. When we’re out, I’m hyper-vigilant about leash safety and harness checks. If your dog is a flight risk or just easily spooked, I have the experience to keep them focused, happy, and secure. I know I need lots of updates when I’m on vacation, so you’ll get plenty of photos from me from each visit! No judgement if you’re a helicopter pet parent, I promise 😉
“David and Jeanette are so great with the dogs they care for! My puppy is happy in their home, they make it very comfortable for the dogs and I can tell they truly care about each and every one. My puppy loves them. ?”
“Amazing dog care! Grace and Dohoon went above and beyond. They sent regular photo updates, walked my dog even in the rain, and created a truly homey atmosphere. Their meticulous attention to detail put my mind at ease. I highly recommend them! Thank you, Grace and Dohoon !!”
“Bruce loved his day with Yvonne. Thank you for taking such good care of him and taking him on a walk. Looks like he loved sunbathing in the yard 🥰 thank you so much!”
“Anita was absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Sky. He had an amazing time with her. She was very attentive and consistently sent frequent updates, including details about his meals and walks, which I really appreciated. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Having Jiahna care for Gideon has been a real pleasure. She was very helpful and flexible as we did a meet and greet and evaluated if Gideon would be a good fit. She took time to ask really good questions about Gideon and learn all she could so it's the better care for Gideon. From the get-go, Gideon loved being at her house and sharing time with her puppy. It was a good fit. I always knew that Jiahna had Gideon's best in mind, and I always got good reports at the end of the day. So very glad that I got to meet and have Gideon stay with Jiahna. I highly recommend her as a safe and professional Rover person for your canine needs. Gideon will miss her for sure and I have really appreciated the care and great connection that she showed in caring for Gideon. 💜🐕”
“Goose had a GREAT time with Elena and Klemheist. He came home a happy and sleepy puppy. Elena helped me out last minute after my previous sitter had to cancel and I could not be more thankful. I’ll definitely be using Elena next time I need doggy daycare or boarding for Goose.”
“We could not imagine a better day care experience for our pup Bentley. Having another ball obsessed GSP to show him the ropes was such a joy! Mary absolutely rules and we hope to be regular customers… as long as they’ll have us. Thank you a billion million for all you do ♥️🐾🌈”
About: I have been around dogs since I can remember. Growing up, my parents always had labs. I currently have a 12 year old boxer named Clover with my wife. I have been with Clover since she was 8 weeks old. From training her as a puppy to recently entering the senior years. I have cared for friends/family member dogs of all ages and breeds. I am excited to get to know more wonderful four-legged friends through this journey. I'm currently averaging 1 shift a month while work is slow. I'm available most days for walking, playing and potty breaks. My wife is a teacher and we don't have children, so I have plenty of time for 4 leg friends! I have a very calm 12 year old boxer that loves friends. I have space to crate if needed and a small yard plus a park within walking distance to play
“This was our first time on rover and my pup couldn’t have been happier! I got lots of pictures and videos throughout the day which really helped calm my anxiety leaving him with someone other than a family member. Both my pup and I loved Sarah! She very clearly cares so much about the fur babies in her care, and we definitely will be returning in the future!”
About: In our previous home in Missouri my husband and I frequently pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors. We moved to Washington January of 2025 and have missed the furry friends we cared for there. I have experience with large and small dogs including some elderly and some very high energy. I’ve also looked after cats, individuals and larger groups including groups with various feeding needs. I work virtually and can be available most week days for daytime pet sitting in homes that have consistent internet access or drop ins a few times a day. On weekends my availability varies but I can typically plan for drop in and overnight care with at least 1 week notice. I am married and may request my spouse be allowed to stay with me or drop by in longer term sitting situations. Whether it’s a walk or a week together I’ll try to treat your pet with the same care and attention you would. Allowing you to feel comfortable while you are away. As a pet sitter I try not to disrupt your furry family member’s typical schedule as much as possible. Pet care is very individual so I try to conform to what that pet is familiar with to minimize anxiety for them, while making sure their basic needs are met.
About: My family has had a dog for 7 years, so I know what it’s like to trust someone else with a member of your family. Over that time I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to vet visits, medication routines, and adjusting to a dog’s individual quirks and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different. Some need structure and exercise, others just want a calm, familiar presence while you’re away. I treat every dog I care for with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home most days, which means I’m around and available for walks, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m only in the office Wednesday and Thursday, and even then it’s just for a few hours so I can build dropins or a midday walk around that window if needed. Since I work from home most days, dogs in my care get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. Regular potty breaks, playtime, and a calm, consistent routine. I’m only out for a few hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays for office time, so dogs are rarely left alone for long stretches. I keep to a predictable schedule for feeding, walks, and downtime
“This was the second time I’ve used ShuShu—first time was for 6 days, and yesterday for just that one day. She was totally trustworthy and communicative for the extended stay, and my pup was so happy upon my return. I’m grateful ShuShu took my pup yesterday on rather short notice. All I needed was relief from my super energized puppy and she gave that to me. ShuShu is cheerful, positive and a good communicator. I highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little lad. Right now my biggest challenge is raising my new puppy. But my longest client I’ve been dog sitting for at least 4 years. I will be going to school soon. So I only work on the weekdays from 7:15am to 5:00pm. Please contact me for further more questions. It will depend on the dog but typically dogs will be left at my home for doggie daycare. However, I am open to traveling to clients house for daycare.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hat Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,152 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hat Island. 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 Hat Island 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 3,152 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 3,152 sitters in Hat Island, 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.
