Ethan is amazing and his daycare/boarding area is clean and cozy. He has been so patient and sweet with our shy dog and helped her come out of her shell. We will definitely be brining her back regularly. High recommend!!

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.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend, will be going to him again. Our dog was eager to go inside and didn’t even notice us leaving. He sent us pictures and a video throughout the day, as well as a detailed care report with feeding and bathroom breaks at the end of the day. He was always quick to reply if we checked on her and very flexible with drop off and pick up times. If you need a dog sitter call Jeremy you will be so glad you did. So grateful for having some one who cares and a home environment to leave our baby when we can’t take her with us.

Noelle is amazing! I feel like Charlie had a vacay experience at a 5 star resort, with the benefit of her expert care and attentiveness. I appreciate her warm and detailed communication from our first interaction. Charlie was right at home and got to enjoy beautiful nature at and around her place. We were at ease knowing he was in great hands. Her love for animals is sincere and genuine. I’m so thankful to have found her!

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and enjoy the unconditional love they provide. I am experienced with dog walking and in home care always taking your fur babies needs into consideration. I am open and flexible to your schedule and pet care needs. First meeting would be about meeting your pet to establish a relationship of trust and then figure what services best suite your fur baby I can provide safe walking and in home pet care. I have had several sessions with a dog trainer myself working on training and handling aggression and fear in dogs. Also interacting with them to provide mental exercises to keep them from getting bored.

We’re very happy to have found Mollie and her crew for weekly daycare for our Great Dane puppy. They’re very understanding of his needs and knowledgeable in dog care and behavior, making his transition into their home as easy as could be! Mollie is really on it with communication and updates and is willing to work with him while he’s learning. Our pup is well cared for and well loved, as evident by how he jumps up with excitement from a dead sleep when he gets dropped off in the morning. Grateful for the M’s and their pups!

About: Hello! I grew up taking care of mostly dogs in my house until finally was able to get my own dog 6 years ago. I've experienced other people who love animals but I feel like I have a connection to dogs that beats out others, I can read a dogs vibe and match it pretty well. Currently take care of 2 mid-large sized dogs and 3 cats. Love it all! Also love taking pictures of dogs so I’ll make sure to get some model shots :) I recently got out of the Navy after 8 yrs and I am currently not working so I have all day to play with pets. I am go with the flow in whatever and whenever your animal needs to eat and go potty and play/train. I am very flexible with doing whatever you need in order to keep your pet safe and under control while still having fun while you're away.

Kyley and her husband took wonderful care of my puppy! They have a huge, secure yard where the dogs can run and play, and it was clear my puppy had a great time. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets they look after. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!

Awesome dog sitter. My dog has anxiety issues when left alone and he did wonderful with her! Her dog Rue helped out with the transition time and Buddy had a great time! Will be reserving her in the future.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hillhurst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,554 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hillhurst. 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 Hillhurst 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 1,554 sitters in Hillhurst, 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.
