“First time leaving our pup Truffle with Kathie today. Kathie was super great! Truffle had a terrific time with Kathie and her husband and their dog, Hershey. Truffle was treated like part of the family. Spent lots of time sitting on their laps, getting cuddled, went for a walk. What a fun filled day for Truffle! Kathie kept me posted and sent me photos throughout the day. Would definitely have Kathie take care of Truffle again.”
“The sweetest lady to take care of my pup. Picking up my boy & he fell asleep within 2 mins driving away from her driveway. I’m sooo glad he had such a adventurous day!!”
About: **Meet and Greet Required for all New Clients** *Cat Experienced and Crate Trained Dogs Only* I am certified graduate from Animal Behavior College with over 15 years of experience caring and training dogs. I own Awakening Companionship, a positive reinforcement training business. Having worked professionally and personally with a variety of dog ages, breeds and personalities, I understand the importance of personalized pet care! I currently work from home as a graphic designer, except for one or two days a week subbing at SBLSD or when I see dog training clients. I do have two cats and three senior dogs, so staying close to home for their needs would align with any pet I am caring for. *New Clients must be crated trained and have experience with cats* This is to ensure safety around my other pets during feedings and sleeping/naps. For the safety of you fur- family, I ask that they are comfortable in kennels and around my furry family. I have a fully fenced shady back yard, two loving kids and two senior dogs to keep your fur baby company during their stay. There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!
“Himanshu was an excellent fit for our pomeranian. We needed someone quickly on a last minute basis and she was able to provide the service. If anyone in the Seattle area needs someone to watch their pet I highly recommend Himanshu! Thank you again for taking care of Toby.”
“When my older Corgi and I were busy for several days, Odalys's daycare was the perfect for my younger Corgi! Easy drop off and pick up, great communication, and Knox came home happy and tired! It was great for him to be able to get out and move during the day and to get a chance to play!”

About: My genuine love for animals and a diverse range of hands-on learning experiences has made me into a well-rounded individual to care for your pup! I've spent my entire life alongside dogs, both big and small, and have always considered them as family members. I've been fortunate enough to be involved in the upbringing of multiple litters of puppies, which helped me understand the level of dedication required to ensure their healthy development. Volunteering at an animal shelter exposed me to a wide range of animal personalities and needs. It gave me valuable insights into the importance of patience, compassion, and adaptability when caring for pets, especially those in transitional or challenging situations. During this time, I administered medication and assisted with vaccines as well. I also have a history of caring for high-maintenance breeds which honed my abilities in grooming, nutrition, exercise, and healthcare tailored to their specific requirements. I am currently studying from home full time while also occasionally accepting shifts as a substitute teacher at a local elementary school. This offers considerable flexibility in my schedule for pet care services for your pup! This means that I can easily adjust my daily routine to cater to the specific requirements of your furry companion. Whether your pup needs a jog through the park, some companionship while you're away, or even a bit of extra TLC, my schedule is designed to be adaptable and responsive to your pet's well-being. I provide customized care routines, taking the time to understand your pet's specific needs and routines within your home. Whether it's feeding, exercise, or playtime, I tailor my care to match what your pet is accustomed to. This ensures a smooth transition while you're away. Being an active individual, my goal is to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated, and I adapt activities to suit each pet's unique needs and energy levels. Whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'm flexible and adapt to their preferences. Communication is paramount to me. I maintain open lines of contact with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. In addition to attentive care, I prioritize cleanliness and organization. I take care of household tasks related to your pet's care and keeping their living area well-maintained. I will also accommodate special requests or specific care routines. Whether it's senior pet care, administering medications, or any other specific needs, I am committed to meeting them. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I'm here to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and healthy during your absence.
“Keri & Kerry were great! I am thankful to have found such a terrific place for my dog to stay and play. I had total peace-of-mind while my Golden was in their care. (And, their Golden, Beau, was a fun, well-mannered, bonus!).”
About: I have 27+ years experience caring for all kinds of animals but mainly dogs and cats. I really find it rewarding and I enjoy helping animals. I love walking them, brushing, bathing, teaching basic tricks like sit/shake/stay, playing with toys, playing fetch, rewarding with treats! I can also dispense vitamins/supplements, and/or medication accurately if needed. I have experience with pregnancies and older dogs and cats. I will customize your pets care plan to what works best for them. I am widely available through the entire week. I'm very flexible and reliable. Usually I am free during most days and nights. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet your amazing pets, and provide the best quality and safest, care and attention for your loved ones. I have a house with a large open fenced in yard with grass. I have a large crate also if needed. I also have 2 small very friendly dogs of my own here, a Malshi male (Shih tzu/Maltese mix) and a purebred Maltese female. A peaceful and safe environment for all of your pets!
“We cannot thank you enough, Anna, for your exceptional care for our baby Zeus. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. You kept us well-informed with regular updates, sharing delightful pictures and videos that captured his playful antics throughout the day. Your attention to detail and genuine affection for our dog truly shine through. If you are searching for someone who will treat your pet with the same love and dedication, look no further than Anna. She goes above and beyond to ensure every furry friend receives the best possible care!”
“Really nice and easy to work with. Friendly family. Listened to our long-winded instructions and guidance when we met about how to take care of our dog. Nice home with big backyard for our dog to play in. Communicative and sent photos. Our dog seemed super happy when we came to pick him up. Will be a regular =^_^=”
“Silvia watched my pup McKenna with lots of love and care. Felt at ease leaving my baby with her and she had a big yard space for her to play in. I got updates and she was super flexible with the time to pick her up. McKenna was super happy when it was time to bring her home! I will be leaving McKenna with Silvia again!”
“Ronak took excellent care of my dogs! I received several pictures throughout the day of them playing outside, and he was flexible with pickup time. They looked clean and happy when I got them back!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I have volunteered at pet shelters. Trained dogs in my past. Help many people with their dogs and cats. I work from home and will be able to keep an eye on your animal 24/7. Attention to detail and care are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard with turf, dog door, a safe and quiet neighborhood with a dog camera to pay close attention at all times.
“Jessica was amazing and took such great care of my doxie Frankie for last-minute daycare while I was in town for a wedding ☺️ she sent lots of lovely photos and videos of Frankie and her own doxies playing together throughout the day... absolutely melted my heart. Will definitely be back!”
About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - South Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,035 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across South Prairie. 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 South Prairie 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 2,035 sitters in South Prairie, 86% 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.
