“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”
About: Raised around dogs (and cats) and would love to care for your pets in my home or yours. Comfortable with senior dogs as well as others. I am retired and available any time. I would need a couple of days' notice, preferably. I live in an apartment with a beautiful dog-walking area and nearby parks to walk in. I no longer have pets of my own, having just lost my 17-year-old Rat Terrier. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I can administer medications and make sure they feel safe with me. I don't push, but let them come to me when they feel ready. Separation from you is anxiety-inducing, and I do my best to calm them and let them now they are not alone.
“Thanks for the great pics. Penny looks so content. When I dropped her off this morning, Penny went right up to Richard and didn’t try to pull away to come with me as she has done in the past. She must really like Marina and Richard and I am so happy to have found someone I can trust when I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again!”

“Hillary did great with our pup, she was incredibly responsive and very accommodating with our early morning drop-off times for daycare, and she kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the day.”
About: I have had dogs of varying sizes and temperaments. from a docile Pitbull who loved to make a friend on the street to a tiny Chihuahua who is a true dog’s dog. I have gone through potty training and basic command this year with my dog, so I’m very familiar with sticking to training! I’m currently working an hybrid schedule and I have plenty of time to be your pet’s new pal! With a flexible schedule, I am able to meet the needs of many pets. Whether that’s more frequent potty breaks or going to their weekly park date. For those staying in my home, either my wife or I are usually home during the day. Our dog just vibes out wherever while we work from home. Dogs are allowed on furniture. I am all about keeping pets on their schedule as best as possible. I like continuity of what’s the norm for them. If they have strict meal and potty times I will follow them. If they love an enrichment adventure or puzzle I’ll get that all set up! I’ll take plenty of fun pictures with silly captions to keep you up to date!

I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day.

I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”

“Beacon had a great time with Hannah. He especially loved playing with her puppy Alki and came home so sleepy. A sleepy puppy is a happy puppy. Hannah was super communicative and let us do a meet and greet beforehand which made it more comfortable for us to leave Beacon there for the evening. We would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely use her again.”
“Donna and her husband welcomed my senior 18 year old mini schnauzer with open arms! I had to work 14 hour day, 2 days in a row, and they took care of him like they were his family. I’ve never met such a nice sitter combo! They have a yard which my dog loved! My dog is a lot of work and they took the best care of him! Their dog mushu was the sweetest dog and played with buddy so gently. They sent many updates and pictures and videos which made me so happy and knew he was in good hands. Thank you!!!”
About: I'm the person everyone in my life calls when they go out of town — not because I'm just a "dog lover," but because the people closest to me know their dog is in the best possible hands with me. That trust has been earned, and I don't take it lightly. What sets me apart is that I'm educated in dog behavior. I understand body language, breed-specific needs, and I take the time to actually learn your dog — how they communicate, and what they need to thrive. Every dog is different and I treat them that way. I have a dog of my own, so I know firsthand what it feels like to leave your dog with someone else. I understand that your dog is an extension of you, and I bring that same level of care and intention to every dog I look after. While dogs are not my full-time job, I worked for a friend’s successful dog-hiking and boarding company, and through that I gained much of my dog boarding experience. I now have a small but steady roster of my own personal clients. When you leave your dog with me, you're not just hiring a sitter — you're leaving them with someone who genuinely puts their needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work remotely from home and I'm not tied to a desk. Your dog won't be waiting around for attention- they'll be folded right into the full, active day I already keep with my own dog, Charlie. I walk 5 miles a day, rain or shine. The only exception is extreme heat, but rain never stops us. Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: Before I start work, the dogs get fed and then we head out for a 3-mile morning walk around the neighborhood. After the walk, they're free to burn off any remaining energy in my fully fenced backyard. Afternoon: Around 2-3pm we head out for a second walk. Evening: After dinner, we take one last short neighborhood walk before settling in for the night. In between it's all rest and play, however your dog prefers to spend it. In my experience, dogs slot right into this routine and love it - but I'm always happy to adjust based on your dog's individual needs. When your dog is in my home, they're treated like they're my own- because that's genuinely how I approach it. My backyard is fully fenced and dog-safe, free of harmful plants or obstacles, with both sunny and shaded spots so they can settle wherever they're most comfortable. Inside, there's plenty of space for your dog to spread out and make themselves at home. There's a cozy dog bed in the living room, OR room for your dog's own bed if they're more comfortable with something familiar. Beyond that, dogs are welcome on the living room couch, the loveseat in my office, the couch downstairs in the basement, and the guest bedroom. The only place that's off limits is my personal bed, but outside of that, they're free to nap and rest wherever they feel most at ease. If you prefer your dog to be crated, I'm happy to accommodate that too- whatever makes your dog feel most secure and at home. I believe dogs settle best when they feel like they belong in the space. That's the environment I try to create.
About: Hi there! I go by Jackson (previously also gone by Esther), and I have been taking care of pets my whole life. Now I live on my own and would love to care for your sweet pet! I am able to handle very large dogs and am comfortable with cats as well. I grew up with 3 large dogs, and I now have a large dog of my own. I am free most week days, so I am flexible and able to work with your work schedules. I do work early mornings most days, but that won’t stop me from giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. The happiness of animals is so important for me, and I hope to be able to meet your lovely pets! I foster dogs through a great organization so I know how to care for dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I am currently looking to house sit, take care of your pup in my own home, or walk your dog on weekends! I have a sweet dog who loves a playmate, and we'd love to keep your dog company while you're away for a night or two! See my calendar for most up to date availability. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible while you're out. Whether playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I'd love to take care of your pets to your and their liking.
About: Growing up in Alaska, I was surrounded by a pack of 12+ dogs, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. I helped feed, clean, supervise, and create safe, enriching environments for each of them. As an adult, I’ve expanded that same level of care and attention to cats as well, including experience supporting senior pets and providing gentle hospice and end-of-life care for both dogs and cats. I deeply value the comfort, dignity, and quality of life of every animal I care for. It would be an honor to help care for your beloved four-legged family member with patience, compassion, and attentiveness. With a flexible weekly schedule supported by my household situation, I’m able to devote consistent time and attention to pet care, ensuring reliable visits and attentive, compassionate care for your pets. I offer loving, reliable care in both my home and my clients’ homes, always working to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I adapt to each animal’s personality and needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for in any environment.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child (cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) and I have a certification in Animal Massage Therapy. I am patient and caring toward all furry friends! I am very comfortable with practicing obedience commands (as parents wish) and have a strong intuition for an animal's wants and needs. I am currently working part time and am home a lot. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that get all of the pets, walks, and yard time they need. Our pets are like our children, and are a priority in our day-to-day. I am adaptable to whatever the client/animal requires. At my home: the yard is fully fenced, and I live next to a city park for ample outdoor time. We have our two dogs to play with and room inside for toy/treat time. Plus lots of comfortable spaces for naps! At a client's home: I will take my cues off of the owners and the dog that is in their own space. I'm also happy to do any cleaning :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Jenny was fantastic. We booked a last-minute dogsit session for our energetic Frenchie. We were nervous as it was the first time we’d left our dog with anyone since adopting her a few months ago. Jenny set up a meet and greet at her home for a few days before and let my dog meet her dogs; she has a great fenced in yard for the dogs to be out in and a safe and climate controlled home. Jenny was responsive and paid attention to all our special requests and gave us photos and updates on a regular basis so we could see how our dog was doing, which was reassuring and helpful to calm my own nerves! Our pup had a great time socializing with her resident dogs, was safe and well looked after. We were very pleased and would absolutely trust her to watch our high energy wild child again.
Kaleigh was so great! She is so kind and followed everything we asked of her to in order to take care of our 6 month old Bernedoodle puppy. She also sent plenty of photos and updates through the day. Gouda loved her and was excited to see her when she came and got him. Would love to work with her again!
Thank you so so much for taking such excellent care of my little nut case. I really appreciate all the communication and tailoring to her first day jitters. Your pups were so wonderful and I love to see Reya fall in with a pack of dogs who get her. I hope they'll get to have some more playdates soon!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Tukwila
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tukwila on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,118 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Tukwila. 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 Tukwila 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 4,118 sitters in Tukwila, 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.
