“Loki seemed to love staying with Marilyn and Travis and they were very communicative and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Joyce was calm, caring, communicative, flexible, and made my pup feel like part of the family. I was provided updates and photos, and Dublin really welcomed my dog during his time. The space is clean and large and plenty of engagement and attention is given. I will be using Joyce's services again!”
“Yen was really great with Koko. She made sure to send regular updates and keep us informed about Koko. Koko enjoyed her company as a big cuddler and also with other dogs at her place :) We will definitely recommend Yen and look forward for more visits with her.”
About: Hi! My name is Eunjung, but my friends call me Cindy. I have extensive experience as both a dog owner and a foster family, and through fostering I’ve cared for dogs with many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I really believe in meeting dogs where they are—respecting their temperament, paying attention to their cues, and adjusting care so they feel secure and at ease. I care for one guest dog at a time. I already have a calm, friendly dog at home (8yo golden retriever), and keeping visits one-on-one allows me to make sure introductions are thoughtful and that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and not overwhelmed. I’m calm, attentive, and communicative, and I’ll always share photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. During the week, my husband will be home to do a morning walk and a play-time in the yard. I return from work in the afternoon, and we take our afternoon/evening walk. Dogs can go into the yard anytime they want. They are also welcome to stay inside! I have a spacious fenced yard, the chillest & kindest golden retriever to keep dogs company (or stay out of the way if needed), and great toys and equipment for pets in the yard.
“Amy and her family took great care of my 9 months old Hugo. Hugo came back happily tired from playing all day. It must have been a great experience for Hugo to spend a day with a family with dog friends to play with. It was our first time having Hugo stay with Amy & Shelby home and I felt very safe and comfortable. I would be a repeat client for sure! Thank you very much!”
“Emmanuel and Sonia were so welcoming to Coco. We are lucky to have found them. Coco enjoyed his daycare very much. Highly recommend Sonia and Emmanuel.”
About: Hi! We are the Domondon family. We love to care for friendly dogs, you can trust us to treat your dog like family. Thank you!!! Mom works remotely with a flexible schedule. We have a fenced yard, live in a walkable neighborhood, and we’re just a short drive to trails and parks. We enjoy getting out for some fresh air and daily walks (when it's not raining). We've always treated pets like family, always engaging with them and showing them lots of love. We embrace friendly pets and pay close attention to their comfort and safety.
About: I only take one dog per boarding request as I want to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I make sure to match with the dog’s energy, depending on whether they want a walk, play, or just a steady presence. I provide updates with photos and videos so that you can see how your baby is actually doing. I’ll make sure to keep their tails wagging while their favorite human is away (and hopefully become their second favorite)! There is always at least one person in the house to take care of the pets, with the exception of a few hours if we go out together on evenings or weekends. As a gap-year student, I am personally available almost all day everyday to keep your dogs comfortable. As my dog and cat’s favorite human, I always made sure they are doing well and dedicated individual daily play time to both. I have a fenced background so the dogs can play outside as long as they want to. If I go to your house, I will also play with them in addition to feeding, taking them to potty, etc. I treat my pets as my babies, and will make sure your babies are also taken care of when you are not around.
“Stephanie was great! She accommodated me and my pup last minute and kept me updated all day with photos. Great communication. Her pups played very well with mine so that was just a cherry on top! Will definitely book with her again ?”
About: I had the nicest yellow lab growing up from the age of 12 that I regularly took care of. I also recently adopted a 2 month old golden x cocker spaniel mix (he’s 9 months now) and have been training him myself. I follow positive puppy training practices and slowly build trust with dogs. My wife and I both work from home on most days. We are raising a 9 month old puppy and spend at least 4-5 hours everyday with him. We would love to extend that care to another dog, both for our pup to have some company and for us to spend time with more dogs! I have a fully fenced yard and a very friendly pup to keep any dog entertained. I also have a medium sized crate and have done a bit of puppy proofing (partitions, play pens, separate rooms) to help as needed.
“Steve was awesome and very understanding when an emergency car situation happened! My Puppers was so comfortable with him she actually ate her food the first time she stayed. That never happens. Hoping to use Steve again in the future. Your dog would be happy to spend the day with Steve.”
“Boba’s first daycare experience was amazing! Estephania took him on a walk, kept me updated with photos and videos, and took such great care of him. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Cookie and Olu spent the day here and had a great time! The host was super nice and took good care of them. They came home happy. We’ll definitely come back again.”
“Lorena took excellent care of my dog. He came home after both days of daycare content, happy and a little tired. I felt really at ease with Lorena, and her communication is excellent. My dog definitely loved being with her which really made me very happy!”
“Ketaki was wonderful with our 10-month-old Labradoodle, Emmy! She treated her like her own — keeping her active, well-fed, and on a consistent schedule — and sent frequent photo/video updates that gave me real peace of mind as a first-time dog mom. Emmy stayed with Ketaki and her dog Coco for a week and came home happy and relaxed. I would absolutely trust Ketaki again and highly recommend her to anyone — I can already tell Emmy is excited for her next stay!”
“We booked last minute with JC and Anh and can’t thank them enough. They bring out the best in our baby, Sugar. They get her to socialize, make her comfortable just like she would be at home. They are the best!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Had a great experience with Chen. She took care of our pupa and was wonderful with him. She took him out for walks and to play at dog park, and kept us updated by sending photos and videos throughout the day which we really appreciated. Our pup looked very happy in her care and came back home tired and content 😃 Happily recommend Chen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Joyce was calm, caring, communicative, flexible, and made my pup feel like part of the family. I was provided updates and photos, and Dublin really welcomed my dog during his time. The space is clean and large and plenty of engagement and attention is given. I will be using Joyce's services again!
Isaac has been wonderful with our pup. His leash walking has improved, he’s well cared for with regular walks and feeding, and he’s always happy when he goes and comes back. We also really appreciate how flexible and accommodating Isaac is with our changing schedules. Highly recommend!
Ming was an amazing dog sitter! She is extremely responsible and provided frequent updates throughout the day, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. I could always know how Cookie and Olu were doing. It’s clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
They are amazing. Kai had a very good time and one could tell because he was grinning ear to ear when I went to pick him up. He also got a lot of exercise and they have a very good set up where any dog would be lucky to spend time with them. Serena and her husband are some of the most wonderful people I have come across while using this site. I strongly recommend using their services and I for one sure do look forward for the next time I will need their help with Kai.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kirkland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kirkland on Rover is $61.05 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,919 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kirkland. 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 Kirkland 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 3,919 sitters in Kirkland, 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.
