“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Luisa was excellent! We got tons of updates, pictures and our pup was so well cared for throughout the day. We were so grateful for her. Incredibly flexible, patient, and kind. Highly recommend!!”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“This was our pups’ first time with Anna. Although there was initial confusion between humans on drop off time, our pups had a nice time. I was a little nervous leaving them somewhere new, but Anna addressed my discomfort with lots of updates and photos. My pups were happy and tired when they came home. Plan to ask Anna to provide future day care and boarding. Thanks , Anna!”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
“Amazing! My dogs had a lovely day with her and were nice and worn out by bedtime. She was able to help me longer when we unexpectedly had a delay in our pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“Yoshi enjoys his stay with Jennifer. Early morning drop-off means he gets to play with her children and afternoon park walk with them is a nice way to end his stay. Lots of photos and I can tell by his big grin that he had an awesome time. I am extremely happy finding Jennifer. More visits to come.”
About: I grew up running a dog walking business at a young age to walk dogs around my neighborhood. I never charged my clients though because I just desperately wanted to play with their dogs. Currently, I have 2 family dogs that I have helped care for the past 12 years. My sister has also relied on me to care for her dogs while she is out of town. I am a super active and hands-on person who is ready to give your dog any care they require (walks, hikes, beach visits, etc.) I treat every pet as my own:) I have a largely open schedule because I work part-time and have the freedom to choose my hours and the days I work. I am able to accommodate the needs of your dogs as my number one priority—whether it be morning, afternoon, or night, I am there! I will touch base with you beforehand on your animal’s precise needs to ensure I meet them all. As a sitter, it is my job to ensure I adapt to your animal’s precise schedule. I will do anything necessary for you to feel like your animal is in a safe environment. Your animal’s safety and happiness is my #1 priority. I will always send photos of your dog and communicate any changes in behavior I may notice.
About: I am good with all animals, both cats and dogs have been in the family for years. Caring for them is a pleasure for me. I am retired and have lots of time to commit to companionship. I enjoy hiking and walking, companionship on those walks would be very nice. I have acreage with plenty of room to play. Our home is open for pets to roam, we don't cage any animals at our house.
About: Currently work from home and have free time on my hands. I have had dogs my entire life and have 2 dog now (Frenchie & Pit mix) I am great with all sizes and can handle big dogs very well. I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks and older dogs up to 16 years old. I love love cats as well 🐱 I have experience with giving dogs medications, such a fluids, shots, pills and more. I will make sure that your dogs will be kept on schedule because I know how important that is in my home for my dogs. Currently work from home right now. Inquire about repeat walks. I am pretty flexible so I’m easy with last minute scheduling. I schedule meetings around my walks if needed I will cater to Your dogs needs. Sometimes I get shy dogs so I will give them their space to feel comfortable. If they need alone time to play I will keep my dog separate from that. If they get along with my dogs I usually let them run around in the yard and keep them on a consistent schedule together.
“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“Kirsten took great care of our dog! He came home happy and tired after a fun day of playing. She was also responsive and conscientious to make sure our dog was comfortable and matched up well with the other doggies at daycare that day.”
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”

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 Maplewood 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 3,795 sitters in Maplewood, 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.
