“Felix was lovely to work with and took great care of our dog Reign! We received regular updates, photos, and videos and felt comfortable with Reign’s introduction and play time with Felix’s dog, Mabel. We definitely hope to work with Felix again in the future and would highly recommend his care!”
“Yufang took such great care of Taco! Her home is well set up for dog care — safe, clean, and comfortable. Taco got plenty of playtime, attention, and belly rubs, and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated all the pics and video.”
“Ling was great! I know that Callie got plenty of attention and walks during the day because she went right to sleep when we got home without any whining or following me around the rest of the night. :)”
“We absolutely LOVED our time with Cheryl. She was so attentive to all of Millie’s needs and truly went above and beyond. She’s experienced, kind, reliable, and even spent time training Millie! We would definitely recommend her services and will be booking again.”
“Eric is an amazing sitter!! Really makes sure all dogs will be okay together and created such a welcoming environment that my little one didn't want to go home. Thank you so much for being amazing! We'll definitely be back.”
“Katie was wonderful and super flexible with lots of last minute changes on my end. My dog isn’t very interested in other dogs, and she got along great with Katie’s dog. I felt very comfortable with Katie watching my dog and will be reaching out to her in the future.”
About: Growing up with different kinds of pets(dogs, cats,birds,turtles,goldfish,rabbits,hamsters…) throughout 30 years of my life, I can’t imagine a minute without pets.And that’s the reason why I started my career as a pet groomer 13 years ago. I am experienced in taking care of all breeds of dogs and cats,as well as other pets.Now I am a ‘mom’ of a 5 year-old dachshund and a 4 year-old Frenchie,I just can’t love them more and am so looking forward to meeting your fur kids! I just moved in Seattle so I am available almost everyday!Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be glad to hear from you.Look forward to meeting your fur kiddos soon! I’m available almost everyday since I don’t go to work. I spend most of my time with my pets at home so as well as your pets! I live in an apartment with a fenced yard. I have two friendly pups that will be your fur baby’s company .If your pet is shy I can leave a quiet space for her!
“Watson had a fantastic time with Alexandria and her pups. She did a great job at sending updates and photos throughout the day, and I felt very confident in leaving my little guy in her care. Would 10/10 recommend!”
About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.
“Nicole was fantastic! We were able to set up a meet & greet before daycare so Rocco would be familiar with Nicole prior to the booking. During daycare, Nicole sent updates & pictures showing Rocco having a great time. Rocco was so excited to see Nicole on day 2 of daycare and that says everything as that's Rocco's stamp of approval. I highly recommend Nicole and will be booking again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life since being a teeny bopper (13-14 years old). I’ve loved animals since I was a child I would binge watch animal planet, discovery channel and dream of having a puppy as a child. My wish came true as I got older and I’ve learned the magic of respecting an animals nature as well as connecting to their hearts. I’m more than happy to help take care of the beings that take care of us in so many ways! Taking care of animals is my bread and butter so I am very professional and pour my heart, attention and care into the animals that choose me as their caretaker! I'm a stay-at-home mom and business owner so I have time throughout the day to care for animals, train them, play, walk them, and even just chill if that’s what they like to do. I don't have a rigid set schedule in my household, but I will follow any routine pet parents have for their babies. Typically I give two-three potty breaks during the entire day. Sunrise, mid-day, and night time. I have a 7 year old in my home, she loves animals as well so your fur baby should really enjoy children, have a low prey drive and patience to be a good fit for in home care. I care for my animals like they are my own family. I don't believe kibble and bits is a sustainable long-term way to keep your fur baby alive and healthy for years to come, so I cook fresh dog and catfood that can be added to their kibble or served stand alone. They love it and it's a quick way to get them comfortable and trusting of a new environment especially if they have separation anxiety. I establish myself as the big mama pack leader lol and they listen. I've had dogs that have had aggression towards other dogs come and board with me and make new paw pals. Dogs need to know that you are someone that can lead with love and that method has always had me have success with my furry friends. For cats, I know that they come from a long history and memory in their genes of being chased, disrespected, and even tortured in some places in the world so they need a lot of respect as far as space and allowing them to warm up. Every animal is different, but for cats specifically, I make sure to let them come to me when they're ready and give them their cozy permission to be free. Indipendence is key with felines for sure! My daughter is phenomenal at loving on these fur babies! Some have become her best friend very quickly, while others prefer the mama of the pack XD, either way we have a lot of fun.
“Jin did great job with my dogs! He was available to watch my puppy and dog last minute and was kindly flexible on pick up time. They were very happy to stay with him and if we are in the area again we will book with him!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Our dogs felt completely comfortable with her, and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. We really appreciate the extra care - she even took them on a walk.”
“Scott has been a great sitter for Millie! He is reliable and punctual, always meeting me downstairs at the arranged time for an efficient pick-up/drop-off. Millie loves going to daycare in the morning and comes home happy and well taken care of!”

Eric is amazing! He makes sure all dogs will be comfortable with each other before even booking and asks the appropriate questions to get to know each dog. He sends pictures & updates throughout the day. And the best part of all, Rocco can't wait to go to daycare with Eric & comes home a very happy pup 😁
Taylor is literally the sweetest! Archie came back happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Taylor is genuinely kind and so sweet with Archie. Drop-offs and pick-ups were smooth and easy, and I felt confident knowing he was in such good hands. I would book with her again.
Darlayna is a wonderful sitter. My experience was consistent with all her other reviews. She is flexible and timely. Most importantly, she cares very much about the animals that she sits. They all seem to have a wonderful time in her care. She sends plenty of photos as evidence.
Fox was incredible again with my dog, Nancy. Nancy learned the way to Fox's home and starts getting excited when we are still a few blocks away and then runs through the building to get to Fox's apartment. Nancy is always so happy and tired when I pick her up!
Nicole was beyond amazing with my 6-month-old dachshund. She was dialed in to what he needed/wanted from day 1, attentive, sent cute photo updates every day, and treated him like he was her own. She even worked with him on his training. He loved going to her for daycare and was always a happy, tired, and well-cared-for pup when I picked him up! I can’t say enough good things. :)
Erin was incredible! She instantly made us feel comfortable with her quick and eager messages plus spent extra time with us and Mondo in the morning during drop off to make sure it was a good fit. She met all of our extremely active dog’s needs with long walks and playtime plus sending us some wonderful photo and video updates of Mondo making her house his new comfy home. We would be lucky to have Erin watch Mondo again!!
Jojo had been going to day care with Emily for more than a month now and he loves going back. He is always excited to meet Emily and addy. He found a safe place and a buddy to play along. He comes home all exhausted from the picnic awaiting next meet ! I really appreciate Emily extending help in pick up and drop off. I am looking forward to continue this journey.
We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!

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 Meridian 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.
