“Dropped Milo for the first time in years with someone he didn’t know, not to mention in an environment he had never been to. Travis greeted us with a smile and took Milo inside to spend the day with him. I received frequent updates (including pics) which made me feel at ease knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He cared for him like he was his own, he had full reign of all his favorite areas….sofa and on Travis’ lap :). When I came to pick him up he seemed very calm and happy. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend them for any of your needs.”
“First time leaving our dogs with Yen & Terry. They have a great space for the dogs, and are very responsive. They are a little far for us, and we'd still consider them for future needs.”
“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!”
About: I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I have had dogs in our family ever almost 20 years. Our family dogs passed away recently and we don’t plan to adopt another one. So hopefully Rover can help me with my craving for spending time with furry friends! My home is a spacious, dog-friendly house with a large covered deck and a fully fenced backyard. We’re also in a walkable neighborhood close to parks and walking trails, so there are plenty of opportunities for fresh air and daily walks. Dogs aren’t just “clients” to me — they become part of the family while they’re here. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy the backyard, and settle into a comfortable home environment. I’m also happy to follow your routines and house rules so your dog feels as comfortable and secure as possible. After many years of caring for dogs, I’m comfortable getting to know different personalities and helping dogs feel safe and settled in a new environment. I’m especially patient with senior dogs and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I also have two wonderful pre-teen boys who have grown up with animals. They have very special bond with dogs, and they often seek them out first when they arrive. Both kids contribute to caring for our furry friends. Because I share 50/50 custody with my ex-husband, there are many days when it's just me at home caring for the dogs. Whether my children are home or not, My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I take the dogs for two walks each day—one in the morning and one in the evening. Since I work from home, pet care seamlessly fits into my routine. The dogs spend their day with me, usually relaxing by my desk or following me around the house. They’re part of my daily life, not just being watched. I take regular breaks to let them outside, play, and give them affection. If you prefer they stay only in my fully fenced backyard, I can accommodate that. My days start early and end late, ensuring the dogs get a final potty break before bed and one first thing in the morning. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities! My home features: - A large, fully fenced backyard - Clean and comfortable lawn with professional landscape services year-round - Security cameras around the property - Constant supervision throughout the day - Dogs are never left unattended outside. - I typically care for only one or a few compatible dogs at a time, allowing for close monitoring of their interactions. I: - Carefully introduce new dogs - Supervise playtime - Separate meals when necessary - Pay close attention to each dog's personality and comfort level - Dogs thrive when they feel like part of a family, spending time inside the house with me rather than being isolated. - I accommodate sleeping preferences, whether it’s in a crate, on their own bed, or in bed with people. 🔔 **Private Stays** - Some families prefer their dog to be the only guest in my home. - I offer exclusive stays whenever my schedule allows, which incurs an additional fee as it means I cannot accept other bookings during that time. - Feel free to ask if you're interested in this option
“Serena and Peter took care of Hunter really well! The photo updates they provided made me comfortable about how my dog was doing. Also, their space has plenty of room for dogs to roam around. I highly recommend them!”
“JC and Anh did a great job looking after our 2 year old golden retriever! We needed to change times slightly due to our plans changing and they were really flexible and understanding. They did a great job of staying in touch and providing plenty of exercise! Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Joy had her first day care visit with Steve, and it was great! He was super kind and gentle with her, and kept us updated with pics and messages throughout the day. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated how thoughtful he was. Joy will definitely be back!”
About: Our dog Sugar passed away in May 2026 after we had her for 13.5 years. She was our constant companion and now we miss the pitter patter of feet in the house. We're not ready to adopt a dog yet, but we would love to watch dogs for others to bring some life back to our home and to have the chance to spoil a little furry baby again. We took great care of Sugar when we had her. We gave her the best diets as her body changed, brushed her teeth daily, took her on 1-2 walks a day, and brought her on car rides which were her favorite. We gained a lot of experience taking care of her, especially as she aged. We've watched friends' dogs many times and also fostered one pup. We would love to watch yours and give them all the cuddles! We both work from home everyday and always take a walk after lunch if the weather is good. We have a fenced yard where we can let your dog out to potty and sniff all the good smells. Our house has very easy access to the outside with no kid or pets. Dogs can go anywhere in the house and on the furniture if they like that. We can also put up a wall to prevent them from going up the stairs if you prefer. My default is to give updates daily about how they're doing, eating, and pooping, but if you need more or less than that, I can accommodate!
“Ketaki is absolutely wonderful and so great with pets! She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending plenty of photos and videos multiple times a day, which showed my little one having a fabulous time playing and having fun. She is very gentle, friendly, and provided such a positive experience. I will definitely book with her again whenever I need a sitter!”
“We're so happy to have found Lorena! Our trusted sitter was unable to sit any longer and we scoured Rover to find Lorena. She is in tune with the pups, kind, thoughtful and has a very relaxed environment for the pups. Bear loved his visit and we're ecstatic to have found a loving environment for him.”
“Tunyi responded quickly to a last minute doggy daycare request and was very communicative of how my dog was doing throughout his stay. I'm definitely booking with Tunyi again in the future!”
“Our dog had a great day at Amy and Shelby's house. She loved hanging out with them and their family, and came home clean and tired. Looking forward to her next visit!”
“Our puppy Stella had a wonderful day with Conner, Erica and lil Teddy and I especially appreciated the updates and great communication throughout the day. Glad we found an amazing sitter close to our home and will be using them again for sure. Loved that Stella got to go around and walk at different parks too. She had a blast and was pleasantly tired when we got home . Highly recommend Conner and Erica 👍”
“Xuemei was easy to deal with and she treated Peppi like he was her own dog. It must be a match made in heaven because Peppi got along so well with her dog, Lily. Xuemei frequently updates me of Peppi’s activities by sending me photos and videos of Peppi walking, eating and just lounging around her house. Without a doubt, I will book her again to look after Peppi.”

Nokta has a genuine desire to get to know my dog Peppi before agreeing to look after him. During our meet and greet, i also got to meet her dog, Rain. I loved that both Rain and Peppi got along so well so I booked for her services. She was lovely to interact with and Peppi loved being with her. She made sure Peppi ate the dinner I gave to her. Overall, I had a positive experience having her look after Peppi. I hope she continues to look after pets.
Sandra helped us out so much by accepting our request for a full day of doggy daycare at the last minute. We appreciate her help so much! The pictures she sent of our dog were so cute, and he looked like he was having a great time. When we picked him up he was not as stressed or anxious as he has been with some other sitters. Appreciated her clear communication too. Thank you Sandra!
We just moved to Kirkland and are so happy our friend recommended Jc and Anh. They were so professional from start to finish - super responsive, very caring about our dog’s needs, and they were flexible when we were running a bit late to pick up. We will definitely have our dog stay with them again and would highly recommend to anyone!
Jana and Levi were great! Shaytun had a wonderful day with them and got to play, rest and walk. Jana is a lovely person, clearly loves dogs and having dog visitors, and I felt totally confident leaving my dog with her. Shaytun seemed completely happy when I picked him up, so we will definitely have him stay with Jana again.
Kellie is a responsive sitter who I could rely on to look after Peppi. She sent me photos of Peppi and I love seeing how he gets along well with her family. I’m pleased to know that Peppi was happy spending time with her (she told me that Peppi was lying or sitting beside them and pawing them when they stop rubbing him. Overall, I had a good experience with them looking after Peppi.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kirkland on Rover is $61.05 per day (as of September 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 .

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 3,923 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.
