“Zhongni was reliable, attentive, and took great care in creating a fun and comfortable space for Benji. I appreciated the walks and photo updates. Benji was sad to leave! We hope to see Zhongni again soon!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.
About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!
“Randsell was wonderful with our dogs. She communicated clearly, was flexible and thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand our dogs and their personalities. We felt very comfortable leaving them with her and really appreciated the care she gave them.”
“Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Thư was great with our dog, kept him engaged and entertained and kept me updated with photos and videos. The dog was very quickly comfortable with her and was sad to see her walk away when I picked him up. A really good sign that he enjoyed his stay. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Abbie and her partner were wonderful with Bodie! They took him on plenty of adventures and even made sure our picky boy ate his dinner. We would love to have them watch him again!”
“Senel and Engin are so great with Thor! I was so lucky to find them so close to my house. Thor already loves Engin and he’s only stayed 2x so far. I will be booking them for the foreseeable future. Ps. The best part is the photos and videos. That’s above and beyond for me! 🙌🏽”
“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”
“Erica gave us the confidence to leave Mookie for the afternoon so we could go enjoy a baseball game. He is with us 100% of the time so it was a big deal to have him with a sitter. Communication was excellent, as we received updates and pics throughout the day. Her place of residence was perfect for the pups. This was an all-around positive experience. We are grateful. Thanks Erica!”
“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”
About: I have 3+ years caring for my own puppy and have had constant care of two puppies majority of the time. I will be able to provide outdoor time and take them on walk since I can be home to watch them. I can do young or old dogs and have experience providing oral medications. I am currently at home most of the day and have my own puppy so I am able to add another dog into the routine. I have a one bedroom apartment and they are free to roam around as they please. I also walk my dog to the dog park daily so that she has some time to run around and hang out with her friends.
“Mariia took amazing care of Frankie, and on short notice too! She took Frankie on a long walk in the afternoon and showed me lots of cute pictures where Frankie looks very happy. She left very detailed notes on Frankie’s stay, which I enjoyed reading. I wouldn’t hesitate to book care with Mariia again!”
“Samuel and his partner were wonderful with Bodie! Communication was great and we got lots of updates throughout the day. We would love to have Bodie stay with them again.”
“Antonio watched my dog with not even a 12 hour notice. He was kind and patient with my young pup and demonstrated skills consistent with a quality caretaker for my dog. He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and got my dog some much needed exercise. I am grateful he was able to help me in a time of need. His dog Rubie is a sweetheart too and was patient with my 1.5 year old pup.”
“We are so glad to have found Jessie. She really cared for Yuki and followed her routine well. Yuki has seemed to warm up to her quickly. Pepper her doggie was the perfect bestie for my girl Yuki and they looked like they had so much fun too. I will definitely return and recommend her everytime.”
“Ziggy had a great time with Sudharshini. She is very responsive and flexible. She responded to all our messages within minutes. Sent photo updates. Will definitely book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
I needed care two days in a row and decided to give Rover a try for the first time as a client. I had a good feeling about Devan from his profile. My comfort and trust with having him care for my 14 year old dog, and most important companion, continued after we met. I was so grateful and glad we found him! Such a relief! Devan has a calm presence and is pleasant to be around, so it wasn't a surprise that my dog was so calm and content when I picked him up both days. I could tell it was important to Devan to clearly understand my, and my dog's, preferences, and do all that he could do to help keep my dog safe, happy, and healthy while in his care. Devan's home is centered around being a dog-friendly, dog-safe environment, and precautions are taken to prevent issues. I appreciate his proactive, thoughtful approach. Fun is also a part of Devan's agenda and my dog had a lot of it! He slept deeply both nights and all day the following day after being in Devan's care. He obviously had a good time with plenty of mental stimulation! Along with playful interactions and adventures, my dog was given his space for rest, sleep, and chill time, and taken on frequent potty breaks and walks as needed. The first day unfolded differently than planned and I had to make some last minute changes. Devan was very understanding, accommodating, and went above and beyond to help and support us. I was and am very grateful for how easily everything flowed. I would definitely recommend Devan, especially if you're super selective about your dog's care, like I am. Thank you, Devan! From both of us. :)
Alifia was INCREDIBLE with our girl Ella. Despite having all kinds of behavioral quirks Alifia was not phased at all and handled it all like a professional. In addition she also sent so many fun pictures and videos so we knew what fun stuff they got up to. I will definitely be using her services again and be recommending her to friends!!
Bei was wonderful with our Maltipoo, Bauer. Bauer can be uneasy and anxious around strangers at first, and Bei was incredibly patient with him and gave him the time and space he needed to warm up. By the end of his three-hour stay, Bauer was much more comfortable. We really appreciated Bei’s patience and care, and we’ll definitely rely on Bei again for Bauer’s future daycare needs!
Myriam was absolutely wonderful with him and took such great care of him. She kept us updated throughout the evening with lovely photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our evening at the Seahawks game. Everything was incredibly easy, relaxed, and uncomplicated from start to finish. Franz seemed to have a wonderful time with her, and we could tell he was in the best hands. We are so grateful to Myriam for taking such loving care of our little boy and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Myriam!
Senel and Engin are so great with Thor! I was so lucky to find them so close to my house. Thor already loves Engin and he’s only stayed 2x so far. I will be booking them for the foreseeable future. Ps. The best part is the photos and videos. That’s above and beyond for me! 🙌🏽
Ravi was super responsive, and it seemed like Duke had a great time with him! He seemed very content when coming home and that signals to me that he felt was able to chill in a brand new space. I Appreciated the updates, and Ravi’s willingness to work my anxious lil guy. Looking forward to more bookings, thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Seattle on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 4,156 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Seattle. 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 Seattle 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 4,156 sitters in Seattle, 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.
