“Vicki did so great with my nervous dog! She knew exactly how to handle her and make her feel comfortable. I loved the update and all the photos. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her over the holidays.”
“Annie had doggy friends to play with and came home content and tired and excited to go back the next day. I’m from out of state and pick up and drop off was easy and flexible which was really helpful for us too.”
“Great family taking greatest care of our doggy. This place is the only place that our baby dog shows the most excitements to stay. If you are looking for a safe place with a trust-able family, try Mita and Bhushan, you won;t get disappointed.”
“Talia was able to accommodate a last minute booking and kept us updated of our pup’s settling in to his first visit. She is cheerful and has a natural way with our dog.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and house sitting since I was a kid, with over 15 years of hands-on experience including formal pet care and training. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and if I hadn’t ended up in tech, I probably would’ve become a vet! I work from home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard, which is perfect for safe playtime during boarding stays. I have experience with pets of all ages and needs — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. I live with my fiancé and our 2-year-old mini doodle, Bear. He’s about 15 lbs of pure sweetness and loves other dogs, but he’s also very good at giving space to pups who prefer a quieter vibe. If you’re considering boarding, I always want to make sure you’re fully comfortable with him sharing the home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority! Work from home, daily care with a wide open schedule! Always happy to go on daily walks and keep your pet company throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a sweet little doodle to keep your pet company. I also work from my computer, so quick to respond to messages and happy to send photos of your pet’s visit!
“Sarah is awesome! We have a Great Dane puppy and not everyone can accommodate that. Sarah plays with Kona and I asked her to bring Odin to the drop ins and the pups are having a blast! We are scheduling regular drop ins with Sarah and enjoy her flexibility and commitment to taking great care of our Kona”
“Ina was so incredibly sweet and gave our pup a safe place to play and be himself. She gave us updates throughout the day and we loved seeing how happy our pup was. Thanks so much Ina!”
“Elena and Jan took amazing care of our pup Arlo at doggy day care. We’re first-time puppy owners and this was our first time leaving him outside our home, but Elena and Jan put us right at ease. Arlo whined when we picked him up and tried to get back out the car, so I think it’s safe to say he had a blast! They sent several photo updates of him living it up which we loved! Thank you for taking such great care of him. He will definitely be back for longer stays!”
“I can't say enough good things about Karissa! From the moment I met her, I knew my dog was in the best hands. Karissa is not only incredibly responsible and reliable, but she also has a genuine love for animals that shines through in everything she does. Karissa sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Karissa is the one! Highly recommended!”
“Everybody in Koda's family takes such great care of Ernest when he visits. Ernest is always jazzed to spend the day. Ernest has been going over to their house for day care for almost a year now, sometimes regularly and sometimes just whenever there's a need for it. Since the start, Emily and Steven have been responsive and super easy to communicate with, and they share the silliest pictures too.”
“Super grateful Gargi was able to watch my pup last minute when I went into work this week. I appreciate all the updates in realtime she provided as well. Gargi’s dog, June, and mine became instant pals! By the end of the day I can tell she had fun playing and got some exercise in. Thank you Gargi and June!”
“I would say my M enjoyed her stay with Jenny. The communication was great, she followed all our instructions and did a good job with our doggie. I'm looking forward to M's next daycare with Jenny!”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs of many breeds for over 10 years. I’ve raised my own dogs and helped care for rescues and friends’ pets. I understand dog behaviour, body language, and how to communicate with them. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely care about animals. I work from home and am available throughout the day. I can take your dog for walks as needed and give them attention and care without long gaps. My schedule is consistent, so your dog won’t be left alone. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. My senior dog is calm and friendly with other dogs—she’s never had issues and can be good company. I always keep an eye on interactions and make sure the environment stays low-stress and safe.
“Caitie is a great communicator and was super flexible when it came to adjusting timing. She clearly knows her dog, and understands how to handle introductions. She is someone I fully trust with my giant Great Pyr! He came home from his playdate tired, happy and with zero anxiety.”
“Sheena took great care of my guy. She gave a report card with updated walks and activities. She was professional and knew how to work with a large breed dogs. She asked good questions and was attentive to his needs. Would use again!”
“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!”
“Felix is very organized and thorough. He's very thoughtful, knowledgeable and observant, I trust his conclusions on regarding how the dogs behaved. He's also very good about communicating.”
“Tayler was as great as always! Very flexible with drop off/pick up time. She sent us amazing photos during the day. She is a great photographer! ;) Our pup came home tired and happy.”
“Tunyi really helped me out in a pinch. When I dropped of Mila, she even had snacks and distractions ready to go to help Mila with her separation anxiety. I felt good about leaving her there! Huge backyard and a furry friend to play with Mila. Couldn’t be more thankful for Tunyi.”

Scott took great care of my dog, Annie! She came home happy and completely worn out, which is always a good sign. He sent pictures during her stay and even took her for a walk, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Scott again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Jasmine took time to do a meet and greet before we did our day of daycare. Jasmine showed calm and approachable demeanor to our dogs. Our Chihuahua had never been cared for by a sitter before and she even won him over. We love that she only takes dogs from the same home at one time for our little stress case.
We needed a brief respite for our dog, who is recovering from ACL surgery, during our daughter's high school grad party. Janet came to the rescue! She was the perfect, calming influence and has an ideal home set up, with very few stairs for our girl to navigate. Thanks so much for your help, Janet!
My first time using Rover and first time boarding my dog. Dena was welcoming and communicative. She let me up to date with photos during my dogs stay with her. She gave me thoughtful feedback to help my dog have success with future boarding. I appreciate Dena and highly recommend her to anyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Forest Park on Rover is $28.86 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 Lake Forest Park 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 3,763 sitters in Lake Forest Park, 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.
