“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Monica (and Scott) have been caring for Juniper for almost two years, now! Juniper loves them so much, she has even started hesitating to leave them at the end of the day and return to me 😅 — Monica is a great communicator and checks in to keep me in the loop of their daily going-on’s. I know my Jun is in good hands with Monica!”
“Idek where to start. We're not locals, we're just looking for someone to watch our dog for a day so we could go around to explore the town. Nicole was our #1 choice after scanning all the dog sitters in the area and I'm so glad we were accepted here! Louie had a blast! Nicole treated our boy just like any of her regular clients. He's never been to any daycare but he was so well taken care of under Nicole's watch. I so wish we lived in this neighborhood just so I could drop Louie off here daily to have some fun w his doggy friends. He even got a cookie to snack on a long car ride home. Thank you so so much and I hope to see you again!”
About: We love watching doggos! We both work from Home so we can do frequent potty breaks and walks. We have a large fenced yard to get the zoomies out and can make some scrambled eggs if your pup is a little nervous in our house to make their tummies happy. We do have a 2 year old who loves dogs and my husband or I are always within arms reach when we have dogs in the house. We’ve taught her to pet gently and to stop petting if the dog is pulling away and continue to teach her to be aware of what a dog might be telling us with their body. We have watched dogs that are more shy and playful like a border collie, to having experience with my own German Shepherd/Lab/Rottweiler mix so we are comfortable with all types and sizes of pups! We love taking them on adventures and exploring the neighborhood too! We both work from home so are home most of the day. We love walks around our neighborhood and have a large yard to get energy out. We have pick-up/drop-off listed as well for an additional charge. Lots of snuggles, walks and treats! Please feel free to bring their bed, stuffed animal, and favorite toys to make them comfortable. We will try to walk them (1.5-2mi/day) unless otherwise requested.
“Linda was great! She worked with my girl’s usual sitter to coordinate one day in the middle of a long stay that my sitter wasn’t available. She was very flexible, friendly, had excellent communication, sent pictures, and loved on my girl! Thank you!”
About: I raised my parents’ Labrador from a puppy and loved every step of the journey. I’m available from Friday afternoon through Sunday night and would love to spend quality time with your dog during the weekend. Whether it’s exploring the mountains, enjoying the water, going on nature walks, or simply relaxing at home with a homebody pup, I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while you’re away. I look forward to providing plenty of companionship, attention, and fun adventures for your furry family member! I work from home during the week, which gives me some flexibility, but I prefer not to accept weekday daycare bookings unless I am already very familiar with your dog and confident that they are a good fit for my routine and environment. My availability is much more open on weekends, from Friday afternoon through Sunday night. I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to bring your dog along for adventures in nature, whether that means hiking in the mountains, visiting the water, or simply enjoying long walks outside. For dogs who prefer a quieter lifestyle, I’m also happy to spend a relaxing weekend at home together. Pets in my care are treated like family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I keep a clean, calm home with no other pets or small children, so they have plenty of space to relax. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and always keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being.
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Danielle provided last minute dog sitting for me throughout the entire week. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was extremely flexible with my schedule, great with my dog, and sent photos though ought the day. I would absolutely recommend her to family & friends, and will be using her in the future as well. 5 stars:)”
About: My husband and I have always loved dogs! Both of us grew up with many furry animals, which included 2 black labs, a pit bull, multiple small cats, a boxer, and a dachshund! Through our childhood and now adulthood we have learned to care for and love our animals as part of our family. Our 6 year-old black lab is incredibly sweet, but does still act like he’s 2 haha. I work from home with my daughter, so your dog must be okay with small children/toddler. We recently moved to Marysville where we have a medium/largish sized fenced-in backyard, so the dogs can get lots of run and play time! I work from home only 2 hours a day so the rest of the day is filled with toddler and dog fun! My daughter naps in the afternoon, which is when get some work done and my dog has down time. Then once she’s up we’re up and moving around again! We have a fully fenced yard with absolutely no cracks. We make sure of that for our own dog, so that is priority for us with every dog. We also have space if your dog needs a crate.
About: I am a fun-loving friend of dogs (and cats) who will make sure your babies are safe, loved, and having fun while you are away. I've been a dog/cat mom for more than 40 years. I have excellent dog training skills, having trained my dogs over the years. I've also cared for senior dogs with special needs. I have a large, fenced yard and can offer overnights as long as your dog gets on well with another dog. Here for you and your babies and will make sure they get all the love and attention. 😍 I'm currently working PT from home, so I'll be able to keep your pet safe and will be home for them all day (unless I need to run an errand or something). My routine is easy-drop them off, and I'll handle the rest. I can even transport them if you need help with that. I have a large, dog park-sized yard that is fenced. If your dog isn't an escape artist, they will be fine here. Lot of room to run and play. :) I can always walk them or be with them when outside should you prefer that. I have a 6yo large dog who loves other dogs and will enjoy company. Dogs at my house can be on the furniture or the bed, or crated as you desire. I know what it is like to leave your baby, so I am happy to care for them in any way you'd like. I can do a 25-30 min walk with them in my neighborhood, and or I can let them run in the yard with a ball or a frisbee. You let me know! If you need me to come to you, no problem. I can come check on them, walk them, play with them, or whatever you need!
“So thankful for the extra care given Gideon on late.Tuesday evenings when I had special events to take care of. Let go the extra mile of taking some amazing photos of Gideon, one that will be a real keeper for sure, has been much appreciated.”

I’m pretty sure Grayson found his new bestie, Monica! Monica gave us updates and photos during Grayson’s daycare visit. She has a large yard to explore, even though we heard Grayson was her shadow most of the time 🙂. We rebooked Monica for a weekend stay in the near future and looking forward to book Monica in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Lakewood on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 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 North Lakewood 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.
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.
