“GREAT experience. My Great Dane puppy Maverick had a blast here. All her dogs were welcoming and friendly towards him! It’s always a huge plus when sitters have knowledge and are educated on dogs and behavior. All around Emily is fantastic and a great option.”
About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
About: I currently do not have any pets so I would love to care for yours!

I'm either at home or out for a walk ao your pup will always be with me. My home will be entirely available to your pup and we will play in the yard and go for walks along the dike and at the lake.
“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”

“I highly recommend Annie if you are looking for pet daycare. From the moment my wife and I met Annie we knew that Whimsy would be well taken care. We went to an amusement park for the day and Annie kept us up to speed on status and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. When we are back in the area we will most definitely use her services again.”
About: I've been around all animals almost all of my life. They bring me so much love & I love giving it in return. I've also had the honor of working for a veterinarian for 10 years. I am currently available all times of day & all days of the week. My schedule is wide open & I look for the opportunity. I respect all manner of pet care, depending on the owners. We currently have 1 dog who gets along with animals. Our yard is fenced.
About: I am a friendly, trustworthy and caring person and love all animals...but especially dogs! We have a good sized yard for your dog to run around in but I most certainly can take them around the neighborhood or nearby trails to feed his adventure side.I love all shapes and sizes of dogs, be it a miniature terrier or a Siberian Mastiff,no dog will be too big or small for me! Why I love dog sitting For about as long as I could remember. My first dog was a Beagle named Jaak. He was super lovable and howled a lot but it was the cutest howl I have ever heard. When we had to eventually give him up, he ran about 7 miles from his home back to ours. I'm pretty sure he missed us. I was hooked on dogs from that point on. About my yard We have a good sized backyard for your dog to run around in with an outdoor couch if they’re feeling like taking a break to relax. My experience administering medication I will be super careful and do all the necessary precautions in order to make sure your dog is getting the right dosage. Don't want an unhappy dog. I currently have open availability during the week and some weekends so however long your dog needs company or care I’m there to keep him occupied ! I have a fenced yard and 2 Australian Shepherds to help keep your pet entertained so that they have someone to play and hangout with!
About: I’ve had Dobermans growing up and had 2 of them when I got married. I’ve also owned a beagle, miniature schnauzer, and 2 cats. When I was in 4-H, I showed my 2 Dobermans for Show and Novice. What really sets me apart from other sitters is the love for animals and the care I can provide. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with your animals and cleaning litter boxes isn’t a problem for me. I can also clean your house while you are on vacation or working. I am retired from the school district with security experience for 30 years and feel this type of experience would help you know that I’m always aware of my surroundings. Your dog or cat would be in good hands with me. I love and willing to dog sit any size dog. Cats are so sweet and I enjoy playing with them and brushing them. I’m retired, and love all types of animals, so I have plenty of time to play with them . My flexible schedule will make it work with your schedule. I would be outside with your animals all the time they are out to make sure no other animals bother them or mess with your plants.

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 Kelso 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 123 sitters in Kelso, 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 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.
