“When our dog, Galadriel came home from her first day of daycare, she passed out and slept for a good 4 hours! I was told from Jill she had the time of her life! We are really happy that G has a place to run around and that she also has another dog to play with. We also got text updates and photos! Awesome place!”
“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😊”
About: Currently work from home and have free time on my hands. I have had dogs my entire life and have 2 dog now (Frenchie & Pit mix) I am great with all sizes and can handle big dogs very well. I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks and older dogs up to 16 years old. I love love cats as well 🐱 I have experience with giving dogs medications, such a fluids, shots, pills and more. I will make sure that your dogs will be kept on schedule because I know how important that is in my home for my dogs. Currently work from home right now. Inquire about repeat walks. I am pretty flexible so I’m easy with last minute scheduling. I schedule meetings around my walks if needed I will cater to Your dogs needs. Sometimes I get shy dogs so I will give them their space to feel comfortable. If they need alone time to play I will keep my dog separate from that. If they get along with my dogs I usually let them run around in the yard and keep them on a consistent schedule together.
“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!”
“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“I am so glad that Yoshi and Penny are able to finish the year with Jennifer and her family. Yoshi and Penny absolutely adores them. The minute I mention going to her house, their ears perk up and the pups are jumping out of the back seat trying to beat each other to her front door. Thank you again for taking such awesome care of them. We hope to have more play dates in the new year.”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our dog Mike with Anna, and he had an absolutely fabulous time! Anna’s beautiful home and expansive fenced acreage provided the perfect environment for Mike. He had ample space to run and play. She also made sure Mike socialized with several other friendly dogs, and he even made a new buddy! Anna kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease knowing Mike was having a great time. At the end of the day, Mike was tired but very happy, a clear sign of the fun and exercise he enjoyed. If your dog needs lots of exercise and enjoys playing with other pups, Anna is the perfect choice.”
“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”
“An exemplary professional and person! Kaylee and her family were warm, welcoming, and made themselves available at every turn. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to any friend or family”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require medication or special attention. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and highly communicative, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind throughout every stay. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, attention, and care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Because I prioritize quality care, I make sure each pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention, exercise, and plenty of interaction rather than simply being watched. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor behavior changes, and ensure pets are never placed in situations that could compromise their safety. I also believe communication is essential, so you'll receive regular updates and photos to stay connected while you're away.
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
“Tara is a great option for day care or overnight! She has a spacious grassy area for the dogs to run and play and her dog is very sweet and calm. There is ample indoor space as well for the dogs to get out of the rain. Tara obviously knows and loves dogs and we feel confident leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Tara!”
“Gae and her husband Steve were great with our River. Being a recent rescue, River has some separation anxiety, and their care and compassion made us feel completely comfortable leaving our boy in their care. Gae and Steve clearly love animals. We will definitely be using them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Jerry is simply amazing. If you are an animal lover, and have a "sixth-sense" of other animal lovers, then you will likely resonate with Jerry. He is extraordinarily empathic. My ONLY hesitation in writing this review is that I don't want him to grow so *in-demand* that it becomes tricky to book him! From a practical perspective, he is incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, accommodating and communicative. Our mini-Aussie (Nigel) has a bit of separation anxiety, and Jerry accommodated to this dynamic flawlessly, and provided an outstanding service/ for us and our "fur baby"... I am so very grateful - and at Peace - to have Nigel in Jerry's care again soon. Much Gratitude”
About: I currently have a little guy who is known in our neighborhood as spunky, playful and a cuddle bug! My partner and I work from home, so we are available all day to care for your pet. We love a good walk, and pride ourselves on being attentive to the little ones. My partner and I work from home, I am a mental health therapist and she is a home designer. I work about 4 hours a day Mon-Thur with Fridays off, so regular walks and playtime are a part of our routine, as well as lounging and resting with the pups. Our community would say we spoil our little guy! Toys, treats, outdoor lounging are a part of our routine. We have a fenced yard, with opportunities for exploration. I am familiar with the neighborhood, and live walking distance from the harbor. We have mapped the local vets and emergency locations, and living walking distance from Wilco and Lucky Dog in case your pup needs some extra attention.

Luisa and her husband (Jason) have a great attitude about dogs and are easy to work with. Our little guy Benny (1 year) is very energetic and he seemed to really enjoy himself. Even fell asleep in the car going home. I would recommend Luisa and will use her again if available.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Wauna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Wauna on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Wauna 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 3,433 sitters in Wauna, 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.
