“I appreciated Bobbi’s clear communication and flexibility. She took great care of my dog for the day! Her house is expertly set up to assist and care for multiple dogs while meeting all their needs. I was very impressed!”
“Jeremy is super flexible and made the Rover experience an easy one. Ozzy was happy and a tired boy when he got home. 5 stars! Got picture updates during his time as well which was nice.”
“Kana was so great with Koda. I was anxious about leaving him because he has a big man complex and I was worried about how he would get along with the other dogs but Kana reassured me he’d be fine and gave me updates when I left.”

If you need a professional lion tamer for your zoo I'm your gal! I am a ally/member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community ~ your home and animals are safe with me 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I have watched families with over 10 pets before. I also have experience with bearded dragons, guinea pigs, chicken, fish, and house hold gardens. Anything else, I'm a fast learner. I am currently house sitting and boarding full time! I'm a stay at home single mom and this is what we do full time. I am also a seamstress and do fleamarkets occasionally on the weekends. When I have those they are pre-planned in advance and I can give you details upon your sitting request. I try to be as non-invasive as possible. I bring my own blankets, towels & silverware. I like to make sure the daily routine of your animal is as close to it usually is. I keep dogs on leashes no matter what when on walks! And usually keep them contained when loading anything in or out to avoid any running away/chasing them around kind of drama. Anything you recommended to me or want me to do I will make sure happens to ensure your pets & home are safe. For boarding I have a very large fenced back yard with a locked gate which is the only access outside. There's also neighborhoods around with side walks for walks. I do have a hotel styled lock at the top of my front door that makes it impossible for the kids to accidentally open it and let any animals out. I also usually for boarding attach an air tag to the animal while they are at my house for extra precaution. No such thing as too safe!
“This was my first time using the Rover App and honestly I was a little nervous about leaving my puppy in the hands of a stranger. Sonia made me feel so comfortable by sending me pictures and updates of my little guy throughout the day, and was super easy to keep in touch with. Her and her husband were awesome, and I ended up leaving my pup with them a second day while I was at work. Definitely recommend!!”
About: Dogs and other domestic pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes have been a part of my life since I was a young child growing up in rural Kansas, and I truly believe they are a family member. They can be therapeutic and loving towards you in ways you didn't know you needed. Please consider me to help not only care for your dog/pet but to also show them some love and gratitude while in my presence. I am currently a stay-at-home mom while my boys are in elementary and middle school. I will have the most time to care for your pets during the day while my kids are in school, as well as sometimes late afternoon and evening depending on after school activities. I have a fenced in yard but do live on Joint Base Lewis McChord, located on the North Fort side. The yard is well-maintained with natural grass and plenty of space to run around. I have one dog that gets along well with others and loves to have play dates. He is older so he likes to take naps and enjoy the sunshine!
“James and Julia are incredible nice, very flexible with Leo’s needs and they communicate very well with us. Leo is always happy to go to doggy daycare. We highly recommend James and Julia.”
“I haven’t seen Potato this excited about a dogsitter in quite some time, so I’ll definitely be bringing her back again soon. Kathy and her husband took such wonderful care of Potato while I was at work for the week.”
“Matt was great with my little guy. He has a large yard for dogs to run and play. My job ran increadibly late the day Matt watched my dog and he was kind enough to let him stay overnight and got up super early for my initial drop off. Will definitely use him again next time I am in need. Thanks Matt!”
“Micayla is amazing!! Thank you for watching Marco and being the best sitter ever! Our puppy Marco absolutely sprints to the door when we pull up. We always know he’s in good hands!”
“Paul accepted my last minute booking request. I had to adjust my drop off/pick up times & he was flexible with that. My dog Eddie can have a bit of anxiety when he isn't with his family. When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“Morgane was great! We were in need of some special support for a shy foster dog with some quirks. Morgane was great with her -- took her time to make her comfortable and kept us updated throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”
“Priscilla was great, she was able to help watch my dog even on short notice! She watched my dog for about 9hrs, I received frequent check ins and pictures of my dog. Great communication!”
“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! 🐾”
“Christopher was so kind and took great care of my grumpy old man :) he was very responsive, sent daily photos, and gave lots of love! He even gave him a bath and cleaned his eye boogers for him. Thank you so much! We will definitely come back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Steilacoom
Bobbi was great! This was our first doggy daycare visit and she was wonderful with our two dogs. We have one dog that is super sensitive to new situations and people but Bobbi went above and beyond to communicate how the visit was going throughout the day. It was wonderful getting updates and to our dog opening up a bit. Definitely will book again.

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 Steilacoom 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 1,693 sitters in Steilacoom, 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.
