“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for special-needs cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for budgies, cockatiels, and cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and behavior so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide the care they need while treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m available throughout the weekdays/weekends and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home or, if you’re comfortable with it, in my home. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore safely. I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates with texts, photos, or calls to let you know how your pet is doing. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.
“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”
“Christine is amazing! From my very first contact with her all the way through the days she watched my “boys”. We traveled over 1,800 miles via RV & did not want to place our boys in traditional doggy daycare. They are used to quiet & I felt they would need a little extra attention. Christine did not disappoint! The boys loved her & on the 2nd day they were pulling us to her front door. We received regular text & photo updates during their days with her. I will definitely use her again when we are back to visit family & I highly recommend Christine. You & your pup can’t go wrong.”
“Every time Andy is with Kaylee he always has fun and friends to play with and comes home tired! Kaylee and her family is always amazing and really take good care of him and his pals.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.
“Excellent communication throughout the day. My sweet dog was very happy and very tired when I picked him up. The care that Lelia gives is like one would give their own pet. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“I appreciated Bobbi’s clear communication and flexibility. She took great care of my dog for the day! Her house is expertly set up to assist and care for multiple dogs while meeting all their needs. I was very impressed!”
“Amazing! My dogs had a lovely day with her and were nice and worn out by bedtime. She was able to help me longer when we unexpectedly had a delay in our pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“Gae and her husband Steve were great with our River. Being a recent rescue, River has some separation anxiety, and their care and compassion made us feel completely comfortable leaving our boy in their care. Gae and Steve clearly love animals. We will definitely be using them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”
About: Currently work from home and have free time on my hands. I have had dogs my entire life and have 2 dog now (Frenchie & Pit mix) I am great with all sizes and can handle big dogs very well. I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks and older dogs up to 16 years old. I love love cats as well 🐱 I have experience with giving dogs medications, such a fluids, shots, pills and more. I will make sure that your dogs will be kept on schedule because I know how important that is in my home for my dogs. Currently work from home right now. Inquire about repeat walks. I am pretty flexible so I’m easy with last minute scheduling. I schedule meetings around my walks if needed I will cater to Your dogs needs. Sometimes I get shy dogs so I will give them their space to feel comfortable. If they need alone time to play I will keep my dog separate from that. If they get along with my dogs I usually let them run around in the yard and keep them on a consistent schedule together.
“Tara is a great option for day care or overnight! She has a spacious grassy area for the dogs to run and play and her dog is very sweet and calm. There is ample indoor space as well for the dogs to get out of the rain. Tara obviously knows and loves dogs and we feel confident leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Tara!”
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”
“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!!”
“Awesome sitter. Morpheus had a blast and was calm coming home which is such a great thing because he has nonstop energy. Matt sent me a video of him having fun shortly after I left him and quickly responded to any texts I sent while Morpheus was in his care. We will be going back!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Home on Rover is $28.89 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,666 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Home. 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 Home 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 1,666 sitters in Home, 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.
