“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Thank you, Rose. Gaia came home absolutely relaxed, I could really tell she enjoyed her day with you. I loved all the pictures of my baby throughout the day. You were so consistent. My dog doesn't take easy to new people or dogs, so to hear that she felt calm and confident enough with you to be part of the pack really is proof of how great you are at what you do. Thank you so much!”
“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😊”
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“Thank you so much for making Luna feel comfortable during her first visit! And for sending me pictures and updates throughout her stay, that made me feel more relaxed. She’ll definitely come back for another visit soon!”
About: Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away. *Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play. I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.
“Dara was great ! She took excellent care of Evie and gave her a lot of attention. Dara and her partner are clearly dog lovers and made Evie feel welcome and a bit spoiled in their home. Dara took Evie for a nice walk which she is always excited to do. Hopefully Evie can go back again soon , she had so much fun !”
“Excellent communication throughout the day. My sweet dog was very happy and very tired when I picked him up. The care that Lelia gives is like one would give their own pet. We will definitely be visiting again!”
“Our Great Dane puppy has been going to Mollie’s place for regular weekly daycare for a few months now. We really couldn’t be happier working with Mollie, Matt, and Mollie Jr and how they care for Spy Kids. In our time with them, they’ve worked with our varied pickup time, puppy behaviors with a 100lb pup, last minute cancellations and changes to our schedule, and just overall goofiness from our guy, all with humor and kindness! Truly grateful we found them and they Spy Kids a try!”
“Eric is the absolute best! Our 8 mo old Australian Shepard rescue mix cannot be left at home alone due to her separation anxiety and Eric accommodated a last minute request for her to try doggie day care with him (her first doggie day care experience). She loves it! He does a great slow introduction with the dogs by doing a crate greeting in the morning before free play outside later. Mari played with so many dogs of all sizes! She needs a ton of exercise (plus puppy naps) and Eric totally delivered! We immediately booked him for the next day (and the next)! I cannot recommend him highly enough for energetic dogs who love to play with others. His fully fenced backyard is HUGE as well, and he was so careful about safety during the massive heat wave this week. Thank you, Eric!”
“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”
“We LOVE having our dog stay with Jerry. Jerry is very reliable and always takes our dog on fun adventures. After staying with Jerry, we always notice an improvement in our dog’s behavior when she comes home. Because of Jerry always taking her on walks with other dogs, she is now so much less reactive around other dogs when we go on walks. We moved to Tacoma and still drive across the bridge so Jerry can watch our pup. I would recommend Jerry to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Thank you so much for the epic care of Mozz, Kirsten and family! She couldn’t have asked for a better few days with all the walks, treats and snuggles she could ask for!”
“Kate & Co are amazing!! She is incredibly responsive whenever needed & she takes excellent care of my dog while I’m doing long shifts at work. Plenty of updates were sent & I can see my fur baby was happy & was in excellent hands!! The atmosphere is great & it feels like a home away from home for my pup 🐕”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Shawnee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 3,881 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Shawnee. 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 Shawnee 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 3,881 sitters in Shawnee, 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.
