“This is my first time using Rover, and I am a first time dog owner. I needed to schedule something very last minute and Emily was very flexible working with me and Daisy. She did a great job and kept in contact about her stay. She is very friendly and is very well experienced in this business.”
“We are so lucky to have found Pamela! Great communication from beginning to end. She took amazing care of my Benny and was kind and patient with this new experience! 10/10 Great job! We will schedule with Pamela again soon!”
“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”
“I can’t thank Cynthia enough for the exceptional care she took of our pups on very short notice. Great communication and updates, and they had a blast. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Erin and her family were AMA-zing. Cookie was so well taken care of and loved having a buddy to play with. Our plans ran a little long and we had to do a later pickup and she was so great and supportive. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”
“We found them when we really needed someone to take care our our special girl. I am so grateful to them and know that we made the right choice. True animal lovers.”
“James takes very good care of your furry friends. My dog, Hal, had all his needs met while I was out of town. I was periodically updated with how the doggy care was going, including photos updates. Will be returning to James dog services in the future and referring to friends/family. Thank you James.”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
About: American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified After working as a dog food specialist at a pet store for 3 years and as a vet tech for one, I would like to continue helping the community and their pets thrive! From entire stays, to just short walks I can even provide basic training, if requested. I can also assist with any of your pet needs, including information for immunization shots, monthly flee and tick, heartworm, etc. I am recent college grad and I played soccer in college, so longer walks/runs/hikes are definitely available with me. I keep a tight schedule according to the requests. I am also available at any hour of the day for any other needs you may have. Great communication and reliable transportation are also provided. Frequent photos are available upon request!
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who has owned and cared for animals for many years. I’ve also had the joy of being a “pet grandpa,” helping care for family pets and spending lots of quality time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, and I truly enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m excited to spend time with animals and provide reliable, loving care you can feel good about. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for part-time work to stay active, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep a calm and secure environment, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for at all times.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”
“Tyson had the best day! Heath is kind, friendly and natural with dogs. They were very easy to schedule with and great communication. Tyson can’t wait to come back.”

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 Kalama 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 959 sitters in Kalama, 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.
