“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: 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.
“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: 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!
About: Hi! My name is Reivia, and I have over 8 years of experience providing loving, reliable dog daycare and boarding services. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Alaskan Malamutes, Pekingese, and Shih Tzus. I treat every dog like family, providing a safe, fun, and comfortable environment tailored to their unique personalities and needs. I'm a full-time stay-at-home person, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My daily routine includes grocery runs and walks near the beach, giving your pup lots of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and fun. I live in 1,000 sq ft apartment. The apartment has a fenced small dog park and also a big public dog park across of the apartment. I have AC in my apartment.
“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!”
“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 👍”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned dogs (big and small) my whole life. I have also dog-sat for my closest friends and family pups from one day to a 2-week period while on vacation. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I have a very sweet and friendly 1.5 year old goldendoodle, Phoebe. We would both love to welcome your dog into our home. We offer a relaxed and welcoming environment for your pet while you’re away, whether it’s playtime, cuddles or walks, they will be treated like part of the family! I am happy to cater to any special needs your pup may have and they are welcome to sleep on the bed/couch/dog bed whatever makes them feel at home and comfortable! I currently work from home, so your dog will receive around-the clock caring, love and attention throughout their visit. He/She can be my work buddy while I am at home throughout the day and we'll take our much needed breaks to stretch our legs, enjoy some playtime and snuggles. I live in a pet-friendly building and my apartment is t located in the heart of downtown Bellevue and just steps away from Bellevue Park, where your fur baby and I will go on walks throughout the day, additionally my building has a couple of areas that are dedicated for dogs, one is a large terrace to roam free and the other is a more enclosed area for quicker potty breaks.
“Aubrey and I love Lorena. She takes such good care of my baby and is very communicative. I love the adorable photos she takes of my pup! And Aubrey is so in love with Lorena and her family!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
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!

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 August 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 August 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.
