“Very responsive and was able to accommodate on short notice. Bonnie seemed to enjoy snuggling on all the soft blankies and dog beds there too! Came home happy and healthy, I got lots of photos and updates. Bonnie probably appreciated being the only dog there too haha.”
“Jin was an amazing sitter, and clearly cared well for my dog… he got to go on multiple walks and was relaxed and happy in her care. So grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be back!”
“Conor took excellent care of Haru today and even brought her to the dog park. He shared photos and videos throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind. Haru clearly had a wonderful time and is a happy, tired pup now :)”
About: I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family for several years, including overnight boarding in my home. At one point, we cared for two guest dogs in addition to our own dog, so I'm comfortable managing multiple dogs while making sure each gets attention, exercise, and a safe environment. I'm active and enjoy long walks, and I understand how important routine, patience, and clear communication are. I know every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel relaxed and confident while you're away. I'm currently very flexible and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy being active and taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they stick to their normal routines. I offer boarding, daycare, and walks, and I'll work with you to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly 6-year-old Black Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs. I've cared for friends' dogs in my home, including boarding multiple dogs at the same time, so I'm comfortable introducing dogs carefully and supervising their interactions. To give every guest my full attention, I only accept dogs from one family at a time for boarding. I'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions you provide, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“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!”
“Emily and Steven were amazing!! First time using this app and leaving my dog with strangers. My dog has severe separation anxiety and Emily and Steven were able to make her feel comfortable and calm. I received updates throughout the day for both stays and will be contacting them the next time we need care for our pup. Thank you!!”
“My dog always has a Wonderful time with Michelle & Brian. She loves playing with their dog & Michelle & Brian are such loving, caring people. My dog can't wait to spend the afternoon with them & their sweet dog!”
“Le is amazing! she was very responsive at all times, kept me posted about updates. Made me feel at ease when I was a little nervous about my dogs being too much too handle. She has the perfect set up at her home my pups are so loved! I'll definitely leave them with her again and again.”
About: Hi! We are Erick and Laura and both grew up in households filled with dogs. We are both fully employed in the tech world, both privileged enough to work from home every day all day which enables us to spend hours on end with our dog as well, and take regular 1-2 hour walks throughout the day. We walk 5 miles minimum a day with our very active australian shepherd, and we actually run a photography and travel business on the side so we are always out doing something fun/cool/active, especially for those dogs looking to integrate into adventurous days while their humans are traveling! We've pet sat many different types of dogs over the years and are capable, motivated and excited to watch your dog! We work from home every day and have very flexible schedules, so we can accommodate pretty much any schedule that your dog needs. We are already frequently at the dog park with our dog as well! We can accommodate any need. If your dog prefers a crate, needs medicines, needs additional support, we can certainly work with you to make sure your dog is happy as possible while you are away. We are also very regular picture takers so will send many happy updates. You may even get professional photos of your dog given Erick's propensity for beautiful photos! :)

“We are very appreciative of Sarah and her partners care for our three year old pup Ammu. Sarah was very accommodating of ammus needs around taking time getting familiarized with humans. She was patient with ammu and we found an settling in very soon and also being happy going in on her second visit. We appreciate Sarah's communication and flexibility and look forward to more of her care for our little one.”

“Ellyssa and Anthony are amazing with my dog, Knox. He gets excited every time we turn the corner on their street. They not only care for him but seek opportunities to enrich his time with needed exercise and active play time. Thank you for also being flexible with care when my schedule fluctuates.”

“Thank you again for watching Dusty on such short notice! Dusty is so chill and mellow with Christina! They love watching tv together and I was updated all the way!”
“First time using Janet as a sitter and it went amazing! Was getting some work done on my home that wasn’t really optimal for my dog to be around for a few hours and needed to find a sitter nearby and Janet had the availability and checked all my boxes. We did a little meet and greet at her home beforehand and my dog, Charli, had no problems meeting her and being in her home. Will definitely contact her again should I need a sitter.”
“Roni did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving my two pups with her for daycare for the first time. She shared lots of photos, videos, and reassured me of how they were doing throughout the day. Margo and Tucker came home happy and tired after playing with their new friends!”

Our new rescue Frannie is very shy and nervous about new situations and Lauren and Ryan were amazing at making her feel comfortable during th e meet and greet and on her first day of daycare! Lauren gave me updates and we had some great photos of Frannie’s fun day. Highly recommend!
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.

Ryan provided EXCEPTIONAL care for my dog, Sodus. Not only was Ryan flexible to care for Sodus from the early morning to late evening given my long nursing shifts, but when I notified Ryan that my dog was having GI issues the night before he was meant to sit for him, Ryan was so graciously still willing to watch my sick boy. Any dog owner knows how stressful it can be to have a dog who has diarrhea/vomiting - giving bland diet, all the meds, letting out frequently, cleaning up sick… and the fact that Ryan was so dependable that he was willing to help watch my boy during this time speaks volumes to his commitment to his clients and his love for dogs. I will absolutely be using Ryan again for my pet care needs and would recommend him 10 times over. Thanks again Ryan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Mountlake Terrace on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Mountlake Terrace 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 3,682 sitters in Mountlake Terrace, 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.
