“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.”

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.

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.

“Tami was awesome with Charlie! She did so well at communicating with me and boyfriend. She sent me a lot of pictures pf Charlie which put my mind at ease. Tami did a really good job taking care of charlie, she treated her so well, gave her treats, lended her toys, walked her, and loved her as her own. Tami was also very patient with Charlie as she still is a 4 month old puppy with tons of energy and not fully potty trained. Overall Tami was amazing and we are super thankful for her and the help she provided by taking care of our dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Home on Rover is $29 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $29 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,642 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,642 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 1,642 sitters in Home, 85% 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.
