“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!”
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I lived them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.

“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.”
“Ethan was awesome! He has a great, clean space for the pups outside, and a nice clean air conditioned space inside. He was very communicative. Our dog had a great time.”
“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”
“Jennifer took excellent care of my senior boy! She made every effort to ensure his first stay for day care was as comfortable as possible despite his separation anxiety.”

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!
“Jeanette is an amazing pet sitter. She was flexible and communicated actively. She took care of my furry son, making sure he felt comfortable and at home in his new city!”
About: I have taken care of both small and large dogs and I have two bigger dogs myself. I have ten plus years caring for dogs I work part time so I have an open/flexible availability I can do drop ins, in home care at my house or yours as needed I have a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs with a large crate, I have reliable car transportation to drive to homes near by.
“We have used Jeremy a couple times now and he has been fantastic. Marley loves visiting him and Jeremy is always good about sending updates on how Marley is doin. We’ll definitely keep using him.”
About: I grew up surrounded by many animals. When I was 10 I had 4 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, 1 cat and stray farm cats. I spent time working on a farm with my family who taught me how to love and care for animals. I also pet sat throughout high school and later worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I love taking dogs on hikes and fun adventures while their pet parents are away. I even have a dedicated dog room filled with their favorite things to help them feel comfortable, loved, and at home until their family returns. 🏡 I’m a stay at home wife who loves baking, walking, going on hikes, and if I’m not hiking I’m home 24/7, so your dog will always have plenty of attention and care. When a dog stays with me, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. We will also go on plenty of walks and Saturdays are reserved for fun hikes and extra adventures!! I will also annoy you with pictures and videos to update you! 😂💖 I provide a calm, loving home where pets are treated like my family. I follow their regular routines, provide daily walks, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable space so they feel happy while their parents are away.
“Awesome dog sitter. My dog has anxiety issues when left alone and he did wonderful with her! Her dog Rue helped out with the transition time and Buddy had a great time! Will be reserving her in the future.”
About: Extreme dog lover! Extensive medical experience, very active person and I have a very spoiled but well behaved Labrador retriever of my own. I’m very well versed in obedience training as well and can help with basic commands. My dog can sit, lay down, heel, fetch a ball, frisbee, or stick. He also swims during the warmer months and gets exercise everyday. Mental and physical stimulation are very important factors to a dogs health and obedience. I would love to help you out and love on your puppers as much as I love on my own. Bonus points if my pup can come along and they play nicely together. I’m new to this app so let’s see how it goes! Best wishes finding the perfect fit! I work part time as a nurse so my schedule varies. On my days off I’d love to incorporate another dog into my routine and have a play date for Lincoln. I have a shared yard, and put my dog on a 25ft leash when it’s potty time. There is not a fully fenced yard. We also frequent the Steilacoom dog park so if your dog does well in that environment we can go on field trips.
“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!
“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!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Steilacoom on Rover is $35.52 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,708 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Steilacoom. 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 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 1,708 sitters in Steilacoom, 87% 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.
