“Charis is just what my puppy and I needed! She was so accommodating to my puppy who recently had stitches and required an e-collar. It’s relieving having reliable care. My puppy loved the experience & new friends and had thankfully burned her energy for the day. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Best thing we have ever done for our pup! Maegan and Levi are simply the best. Easy to work with, loves our puppy like their own and are the sweetest family ever!”
“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😊”
“Why is there only 5 stars option, she did absolutely amazing and has helped us take care of our baby pandora. She has an amazing heart and love for all the puppies. If I could give more stars for how amazing she is I would”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“Christina's house is full of puppy love! She's so warm and welcoming, and my dogs felt the same way. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were relaxed and happy. Thank you Christina for your awesome care, and for having such a loving environment for my pups to hang out in.”
About: I have a deep understanding and genuine love for animals. My approach involves creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy my home or in their own home. I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs, whether it's providing extra playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship. With a keen eye for detail, I pay close attention to specific instructions and routines, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. Your furry friends are not just clients to me; they become cherished companions, and I take pride in fostering a bond built on trust and affection. I work remotely so your pet will have my full attention. I am available to let them out throughout the day and a daily walk! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. When sitting in my own space, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily routines are maintained, including regular walks, playtime, and adherence to feeding schedules. In clients' homes, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines the pets are accustomed to. This minimizes stress and anxiety, providing a seamless transition in their owners' absence. I adhere strictly to any special instructions, dietary needs, and medication schedules. Whether in my home or theirs, the foundation of my pet care service is built on creating a secure, loving atmosphere that promotes the overall happiness and well-being of the furry companions entrusted to me.
“Emily was amazing! She took care of our two dogs diligently and was very communicative, kind and professional! From the first interaction, we felt comfortable leaving our babies with her and the joy they had when we picked them up let us know how much fun they had and they had been properly cuddled! Highly recommend Emily!”
About: My bootcamp program for my dogs is the perfect combination of love, fun, exercise and discipline. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I specialize in smaller dogs, but I love all dogs equal. I plan to have only 1 or 2 dogs at a time. I work part time and have weekends off and I will have an assistant to help part of the day, while I'm away at work. So I will have lots of time with your fur baby. Your pets will be inside my home most of the time. If your dog is well behaved, I usually will take your pet with me.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and treat every pet as if they were my family. As a dog owner and a person with anxiety, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I’m fully committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, so patience, attentiveness, and communication are all qualities of mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m more than happy to accommodate medication schedules, special feeding routines, puppy care, and senior pet care. As a military spouse, I 100% understand that plans can change and am very flexible. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates with plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I am now home full-time with my son who is a month old. Therefore, I have pretty open availability to provide loving and reliable care for your fur babies. I live in a military community that is dog friendly and I also have a mini labradoodle who can keep your dog company! He absolutely loves new friends!
“We are very pleased with Cathleen and how well she cared for Lucy. We had a meet & greet first and then scheduled Lucy’s first visit for today. All I can say is that it’s a good life for a dog if they spend the day with Cathleen! Walks, beach, and naps!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Navy Yard City
I did not think we were ever going to be able to take mom on an outing since she adopted Dono the Velcro Dog with anxiety issues. But then we found Valarie, she has been coming to take Donno twice a week for walks and to learn a few manners. Mothers day was the first day we took Dono to Valarie’s for day care. After a brief sniff around the front yard Valerie stepped outside to say hello and he went nuts he was so excited to see her. She kept us in the loop during this first stay and set pictures showing him playing and bright eyed. The entire family was able to visit in a special place were dogs are not permitted knowing he was safe and happy (most of the time).
Emily was amazing! She took care of our two dogs diligently and was very communicative, kind and professional! From the first interaction, we felt comfortable leaving our babies with her and the joy they had when we picked them up let us know how much fun they had and they had been properly cuddled! Highly recommend Emily!

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 Navy Yard City 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 3,734 sitters in Navy Yard City, 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.
