“Thank you so much, Yen, Terry, and family! We feel so fortunate to know that Andi is having a good time and so well cared for when she’s with you. She always comes back so happy. Thanks for all your care!”
“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!”
“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.”
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!
“I was nervous leaving our new puppy with anyone, but she had a great time. I’ve never seen her so tired! She must have been running around and playing all day :) Will rebook again in the future.”
“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.”
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.
“Felfel had a great time with Erica and Conner! They sent lots of updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear that Felfel was happy and having a great time. I really appreciated their communication and would happily book with them again.”
About: Our dog is now five years old, and pets have always been an important part of our family. We know how much love, attention, and care they deserve because we've experienced it firsthand. We treat every pet like they're our own and are committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. We are at home full time! We will be around to play with your pet, feed it, go on walks, make sure it has access to the backyard, and have lots of fun! In our home, pets have access to our fenced backyard, where they can go potty when they feel like it. We have a pet door so they don’t have to wait on us. We feed and walk them on their schedule so we don’t disrupt their routine. We make sure water is always available, and have cuddle and play time!
“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am a full-time Rover so I will pay 100% attention on the cuties. As a dog parent, I know the importance of trust and reputation. Things I will provide during Sitting&Daycare&boarding： •Walking every four hours •Only accept a limited number of dogs at a time • Playtime with toys, fetch, and enrichment games •At lease ten video/pics per day •24 hours camera •Safe&nice environment and emotional care Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and individualized attention throughout the day. Because I spend a lot of time at home, I am able to closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or activity level and respond quickly if needed. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos so owners can feel confident and connected while their pets are in my care. My apartment is kept very clean and sanitized regularly to help maintain a healthy environment and minimize the risk of illness transmission. There are also two dog parks nearby, providing convenient opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor activities when appropriate for each dog's needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“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!”
About: I have been caring for pets of friends and family for many years, which has given me hands-on experience in understanding their needs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I will also keep a close eye on their behavior to ensure they are happy and safe I care for my pets by making sure they have a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and always keep a close eye on their health and behavior.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
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!
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!

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.

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.

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.
