“Zi did a great job watching Yuki, even though he had an accident at her apartment and hyperactive with her dog. She sent plenty of photos, videos and updates, and was honest with how my pup did at the end. I'd recommend her with anyone who has a small/medium sized dog.”
“Our boys had a great time with Brooke and her gang and we felt welcomed, safe & cared for. Also the communication was first rate and we really appreciated the pics during the day. We’ll be back if she’ll have us!”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs & have had pups by my side my entire life. Caring for dogs comes second nature to me. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler touch. I’m patient and responsible, and enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and happy. Whether your dog is shy, social, quirky, or full of zoomies, I know how to adjust care to match their needs. My family & I treat every dog like they’re our own and we would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend too! My Skills & Experience: - Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all ages - Comfortable with shy, senior, high-energy, and big-breed dogs - Gentle, patient approach with anxious or first-time boarders - Understanding of dog body language and safe interactions - Experienced with medication routines and special instructions - I provide updates, photos, and videos of your pup while you're away! I am home most of the time with my 1 year old currently so am able to accommodate and care for your dog(s) most days and times! I’m able to give dogs plenty of interaction and attention throughout the day. My calendar is always up to date, but feel free to message me with any schedule-specific questions. About My Home: Your pup will feel safe, loved, and comfortable here! I have a fully fenced yard perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of sniffing. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy company, though all interactions are based on your dog’s comfort level. Inside, I’ve created multiple gated areas so every dog has their own calm, secure space. Crates are available if your dog prefers them or if you request it. I use a Furbo camera and happily will send photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. When the weather cooperates, I love taking dogs on peaceful neighborhood walks, and I can provide baths if needed as well. *Important: I do have a 1 year old at home, so I’m only able to host dogs who are gentle and comfortable with young children. Safety and a calm environment are top priorities in our home. Safety: Your dog’s comfort and safety , and my family’s, are my top priorities. I do slow, careful introductions with my dogs, or no introductions if requested. Gated “safe spaces” are always available. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as given.
“Somya and josh are great with my dog. We just moved here and Smokey was a little frightened because he was used to being home only with me for last 11 months but they made him feel right at home with them. I would definitely recommend them.”
About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life — Shelties, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Boxers, and now a Great Dane. From puppies to seniors, I’ve had the privilege of caring for them all. I can continue or begin house training, crate training, and basic commands with a gentle, positive reinforcement style. My husband, Bryce, and I work together as a team to care for your pets. We both have years of experience with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and we make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Living with a Great Dane has taught us how to handle giant breeds with confidence, while also being just as comfortable with the tiniest pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or reinforcing training, you can count on both of us to give your pets the attention they deserve. We know how important it is for dogs to have interaction and not feel alone. That’s why we only offer pet care knowing that one of us will always be home. Andrea is home all day Friday through Sunday, and Bryce works remotely from home Monday through Friday. Together, that means your pets get consistent love, attention, and companionship every day of the week. We have a large, fully fenced yard that is perfect for lots of running and play time. Our sweet Great Dane, Mercedes, and two children will shower your pet with love and attention!
“Trenton and Jordan were our lifesavers. They took Daisy on short notice and let us drop her off at 7am! We got plenty of photos of a happy Daisy throughout the day. As soon as Daisy got home, she happily passed out, exhausted from running around and exploring on their property.”
“Karen and Mark are absolutely wonderful! My dog loves going to their house while I work long hours in the office. It's so great to have a local pet sitter giving my dog personalized care instead of the traditional doggie daycare options. ”
“Wow! Cathleen is SO good! Mooch had a very successful first doggie day care and we will have him back. Cathleen is calm, loving and responsible. She is also very in tune with Mooch and his surroundings which contributed to his successful time away. Mooch is a Covid puppy with separation anxiety but you couldn’t tell with his time at Cathleen’s. She is a pro and a great choice ❤️”
“Mac & Rocky had a great time at Christina's house, and we love her "pack", Finn and Dante. Christina is super-professional, inspires confidence, and kept us posted on how our guys were doing. We really appreciate her!”
“I love that Rhonda and her family created a secure and fun back yard for the dogs to play. I also love that the whole family helps with the dogs and that there is usually someone home. It gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog has humans around most of the time. Rhonda's dogs are playful and my dog seemed to be at ease even though she is often fearful of new dogs and new situations.”
“Kyah was a great help with my pup Tikka for doggy daycare. Kyah was very caring, calming and accommodating to my puppy as she needed some extra comfort from a recent spay surgery. I really appreciated the great communication and updates throughout the day. A relief knowing your pup is being cared for. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have a flexible schedule that can work around your needs. I have experience with several different dog breeds and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I can shape my schedule around the needs of you and your dog and give them the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard where they will be free to roam, along with abundant room inside where they will receive lots of care and attention. Will support crate or free sleepers depending on your preference and the dogs needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 years, to include handicapped, young, and senior dogs. I also have 3 years of experience with caring for cats. I live in a single person apartment with access to a dog park and walking trails. I am home everyday of the week and work full time through Rover. I will be able to care for your pet the entire day and can take them out as needed. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood that is very walkable. I am a 2 minute walk from a dog park which I can take your pet to daily.
About: We both grew up with dogs and have fostered 4 times. We currently own a 3 year old rescue pup. We’ve cared for the smallest of dog breeds (Havanese and Boston Terrier) to the largest of breeds (Labs/retrievers, German shepherds, Belgian malinois, pit bulls, etc) so we’re comfortable with all dogs! I work from home, so I’m available all day every day to play and take care of your pups! We’re open to boarding every day of the week. We do have a 3 year old Lab/Border Collie mix, so your dog must be good with other dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own! We do live in an apartment, but I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup company :) I’m also comfortable crating dogs if that’s something you need!
“Danielle is so thoughtfully prepared, she had a fantastic list of questions about my pups the first time she met them and I really appreciate her diligence and attention to detail. She sent multiple photos and even was able to accept my request on short notice. Thank you Danielle!”
“I am worry wart dog mom and have been somewhat hesitant to sign Stormy, my tiny, timid Pomeranian puppy, up for daycare. Linda put my worries at ease during our meet and greet. If you have a tiny dog and need a sitter/boarded- book with Linda right now!”
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

Brooke was great! While our dog only stayed with her for a couple hours, I received pictures of our pup and her son playing together. She was kind, attentive, and flexible! If we're back in the area and need someone to watch our pup, we will absolutely reach out to Brooke again. She also had a great place with a fenced in deck!
This was my dog's 1st time with Zi. She was kind enough to do a meet up with our dogs beforehand to ensure they got along. When I dropped my dog, she didn't even protest just ran happily up to greet Zi's dog, Orion. Both unusual for her unless except those she knows well. Zi sent pics of the dogs at the lake she lives by. I came back to a very happy dog with freshly washed paws!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Scandia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,535 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Scandia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Scandia 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 3,535 sitters in Scandia, 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.
