“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute doggy daycare for Dryden for a couple of days. She was extremely accommodating on short notice and made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Dryden became fast friends with her dog, Appa, right away. I think having Appa around really helped calm him down and made it super easy for him to get acclimated and feel right at home. He came back happy and well-cared-for, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Larissa again in the future!”
“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
“She was so awesome! We didn’t worry about our dog at all while she was watching him. She sent lots of pictures and I could see he was having a great time! We will definitely book again when we are in the area and we would recommend! Thank you so much Maryorie! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Dominique took great care of our two dogs, it was the the first time they had ever been left with somebody other than our family and they tend to be a bit needy so we were nervous to leave them but she was welcoming and patient and put us at ease. We booked another stay with her soon after.”
About: I’ve had dogs for nearly 30 years. I’ve cared for dogs in all stages of life from puppies to senior dogs. All of my dogs of aged and moved on so I have space in my home and my heart. I work almost exclusively from home so I can easily care for pets without interrupting my routine. Your pet won’t be left alone for much time at all. I have a fully fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walking and can easily make sure your dog gets enough exercise and play time.
“Haleigh has sat Rocky on a few occasions now when I've been in town for work and can't take him into the office. Appreciate her responsiveness and I know my pup is in trusted hands!”
“Jared was an excellent sitter! Both my Papillons seemed to have a great time with Jared, Bartholomew, and their cats. Communication was smooth and timely throughout. I would be happy to bring my furry babies to Jared again. Highly recommended!”
“Frances was so amazing she went above and beyond for us, she came and picked up Dolly to work with our schedules. She also took her on a walk and then later to the dog park. Just when I would wonder how they are doing she would shoot me a video or a picture to let me know how their day was going. I would 100% recommend Frances to friends and family who love their pets and need a reliable human to care for them. Francis next time we are in need you will be my 1st call!!!!!! Thank you so much! Side notes~Great communication, her home is lovely and clean.”
“We are so thankful to Shell for taking great care of Hugo! She worked with us on our crazy schedule, and we really appreciate the flexibility! Hugo loves Shell and her doggies!”
“April was great to work with. She had excellent communication throughout the day and was able to watch Daisy on short notice. Daisy seemed comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend April to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
“Tricia is such an amazing human! She was so patient and great with my quirky, anxious senior Shiba and even sang to him to calm him down. He was so relaxed in her home which helped us all greatly as we were nervous to introduce a new environment. Tricia is part of the pack now and we can't wait to re-book with her!”
“Lajetta is the best! She frequently watches my dog and he gets so excited to see her and loves going over there. He usually doesn’t want to leave when I go pick him up. She does a great job caring for Tony.”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

Marjorie was great. She helped me out in a pinch and we did do an initial meet and greet. It’s always nice to find somebody that will take your pet on a weekend for a few hours. Bella seemed like she adjusted well. I will definitely use Marjorie again when I’m visiting Vancouver, Washington. Parking is easy and she lives in a court and is located between Vancouver mall and Hazel Dell so very convenient
Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️
Moira took excellent care of my dog! She made sure he had time to adjust, and gave him plenty of attention. Her communication was exceptional as well, and she sent plenty of updates. She's definitely passionate about animals, and will do everything she can to ensure your pet is well cared for!
Jeannie is amazing. She took such good care of my corgi puppy. It really shows when a dog sitter has a real love of dogs. She went above and beyond. I know my dog had so much fun with her and her two corgis. As a dog owner peace of mind is priceless. She’ll be my first call anytime I need a dog sitter! Thank you!
Madelyn took such wonderful care of my senior dog, Charlie, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Charlie can’t be left alone for long periods anymore, and Madelyn was incredibly attentive to her needs. She made sure she got multiple walks, lots of care, and all the attention she requires at this stage of her life. She was also very communicative throughout, sending regular updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated that she took the time to do a longer meet and greet beforehand. It showed how thoughtful and thorough she is. It’s clear that Madelyn has a compassionate soul and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I would absolutely trust her again and plan to book with her in the future. Highly recommend!
Rocky had such a good time with Caitlin that he charged into her arms on the second day of his 2-day sit. I would definitely recommend Caitlin for her loving personality and responsible nature with our special furry friends. Thanks Caitlin for taking Rock and helping me out during my work trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Minnehaha on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 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 Minnehaha 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 1,800 sitters in Minnehaha, 89% 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.
