“Sydney had the BEST time with Katie & friends. She came home, ate & went right to sleep. Katie was great with her & understood the temperament of the breed. She sent a video of my dog & hers playing. I highly recommend her & trust her completely with Syd. In fact Sydney will be staying with Katie for 3 days next month. Katie’s great with dogs!!! ❤️❤️”
“Kim was so great with our pup! Easy to schedule, friendly with our dog. Her home is a great set up for dog watching with a good fenced yard, perfect for our curious pup. Wish we had found her sooner. Would definitely book again! :]”
“Kristina & her family are an amazing daycare home for Fizz! It’s obvious how much he loves them, and is happy & tired when I pick him up. And having a consistent schedule that works for both of us is greatly appreciated. Finding a 2nd home that so obviously cares for him is such a blessing for this soft tempered boy of ours!!”
“Alexis was able to get us in at the last minute. She was polite and friendly. Her house was in a quiet neighborhood with nice fenced yard. She took great care of our dogs and we were very happy. Highly recommended if you need dog care in Yakima.”
“Ericka was great with Pano. She was able to watch him late due to my work schedule. She provided an update on how he was doing during the visit. He seemed happy after I picked him up. I would use her again in the future and recommend her to others. :)”
“Terry and Fernanda were so friendly and accomodating with my schedule! They have a great yard and plenty of space to roam. My pups were worn out when I picked them up. A great day of play for them, peace of mind for me. We will be back!”
“Annie had a great time with Britnni and all her fur babies and kids! Such a welcoming environment and lovely yard. Annie loves to run and play so having other doggies for her to play with was great! She came home tired and ready for a nap😊”
“I was nervous leaving Kevin with someone else for the first time. Enrique made me feel comfortable and was good with Kevin. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which eased my worry. I would definitely use his service again.”
About: I've owned dogs my entire life and I love every second. I've pet sat often and wouldn't be more thrilled when reached out to. Your furry friend will be safe here! I'm am home all day so I am free 24/7. I do college one day a week and have tame indoor hobbies I can do around your pet! Pet care will be done whenever needed as my schedule is flexible. I have a large studio with a large fenced balcony attached. The balcony has enough room to play a bit and a 4 ft railing. Pets will also have access to the fenced yard down stairs on occasion. I do not do sits with indoor cameras unless they are turned away. I will provide daily pictures and updates if I'm able to.
About: I've taken care of the family dogs for as long as I've been conscious enough to and have further sat for family friends and other relatives. I have trained my own puppy (he's almost 3 now), have some experience with administering medication (oral and topical), and have looked after senior dogs in various stages of their old age. I have owned and cared for dogs of various sizes from tiny chihuahuas to larger than average rottweiler mixes and handled many different temperaments. I currently do not have a job, so I am able to spend as long as necessary with your pet. I am free all day on weekends for things like check ins or walks, but on most weekdays I can only do boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and two friendly (medium to large) dogs to play with. I also have a large crate available if it is ever needed.
About: I'm kind towards all animals and I feel a deep sense of responsibility for those in my care. I currently have a small dog. Check the pictures here. I'm retired and available to watch a dog or two in my home. I would be able to give your dog my full attention for most of the day. The dogs I watch will be inside with me or if the weather is suitable in my fenced backyard. The yard is fairly small and well shaded.
“Angela & Ashlyn were great with my Pano. They were able to take him even tho I gave them a very short notice. They were kind and gentle with my older dog. They sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay. They walked him out after the visit to my car. I would work with them again and recommend them to anyone. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since 12 years old I’ve also taken care of guinea pigs. I know a lot of animal facts aswell and I wanna become a veterinarian one day. I can either work part time or full time I can reflex my time to meet up with your expectations too so that wont be a problem I can from 7-9 pm in week days and less days in weekends such as Saturday and Sunday. My yard is fenced up and have a big yard. Your fur baby’s will be provided with stuff they need as well too or I can bring there stuff over at my house for more comfort. I know a few tricks to teach as-well such as ,paw , down and roll over.
About: Hey there! I’m Becca, I’ve been living and working in Yakima for 7 years now and I’m excited to help take care of your critters! HouseSitting I’ve catered my pricing towards multipet homes, since from experience I know how expensive it can get if you have multiple animals, especially more than 3. I price all animals the same regardless of breed. I offer a max rate of $150/night for cases where you have a multitude of critters. In Home Boarding/day care I offer boarding/day care for one household at a time, and can accommodate up to three animals from that household. Your pet(s) will have a private room to themselves . They will only be crated as needed to prevent accidents or damage to property in the event we aren’t potty trained or have problem chewing habits. Otherwise they’ll be free to be at home in a quiet cozy spare bedroom set up for this purpose. Please be aware they will not be under constant supervision, however they will be checked on and cared for frequently. Walking Walks are pretty self explanatory however I am not equipped to handle extremely problematic walkers. For all services, in cases where your dog has separation anxiety, there will be an extra charge, decided on a case by case basis, depending on severity and necessary precautions. I’m self employed and mostly work from home! I have an extremely flexible work schedule and will always be able to schedule around your pets needs! I’m able to stay nearly 24/7 while you’re away (minus possible errands, 2 hr max/day) for an additional fee. I will always treat your pets as my own, with the love and respect they deserve, and will accommodate whatever needs they may have as individuals. I have experience with giving medications as necessary and am happy to do so if needed.
“A relative usually cares for Fido (our chihuahua mix) when we travel. When we and our relative travel at the same time, we needed another option for Fido’s care. That led me back to Rover where I’ve previously found excellent doggy caregivers. This time I was fortunate to find Beth who turned out to live nearby. She was clearly at ease with Fido at the meet and greet, and he was excited to see her when he was dropped off for doggy daycare. It wasn’t long after the drop off that I received a photo of him snuggled up on a soft blanket and being cuddled. I knew he was comfortable and in his zone at that point! It was reassuring to know I can leave Fido with Beth and not worry about him. That is worth a lot!”
About: I've taken care of many types of animals all throughout my childhood and as an adult I've volunteered with rescue animals for 2 years. I would frequently train, feed, walk and bathe animals. As well as provide support for many of my rescues with fostering and providing a positive environment. I'm currently between jobs so I'll have all day to care for your animals. I'll be available for boarding and day care all throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard. 1 cat and 1 dog to keep your animals company. Both are well behaved and get along great with other animals!
“Shawna watched our puppy for an afternoon. Our dog typically has some separation anxiety but seemed to immediately warm to Shawna and enjoyed her day with new friends (Shawna and her little girl). I look forward to booking again with Shawna!”
About: I am a stay at home mom who loves dogs. Your dog will have tons of attention from me, our outgoing dog friendly 4 year old shih tzu mix and my 2 kids. Daily walks and lots of fun always! 4 years dog sitting both in my own home and at clients. I am always home pandemic or not. My dog and yours too would be included in everything we do. Always an hour long morning walk sun, rain or snow, afternoon play in both garage and fenced yard. I also spend a lot of time on the floor playing fetch and snuggling with both my dog and kids. Wilson loves having another dog around to chase and play with. My dog was paralyzed in both back legs for about 6 months 2 years ago. We were able to rehab him but I am comfortable with disabled elderly or injured dogs. I am always home as a stay at home parent pandemic or not. Your dog will have human and dog interaction and attention all day everyday. My dog loves to play with big and small dogs. We walk for an hour daily and play at least twice outdoors in afternoon and before bed.

Kimberly is so deserving of her 5 star rating and it's clear to me why she has so many repeat customers, as I will be in that category! She was kind enough to agree to watch my Maltese mix for the first time at the last minute. We just moved here and he's still a little skidish and needy. From the moment we dropped him off we knew he was going to be just fine. Kimberly is warm gives off a very kind energy. I checked on him while he was there and she got right back to me, which was very much appreciated. When I went to pick him up, he was calm and not stressed which is what I expected regardless of how great she was with him. I am beyond happy to have found our new pet sitter in Yakima, thank you Kimberly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Yakima on Rover is $26.75 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 56 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Yakima. 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 Yakima 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 56 sitters in Yakima, 97% 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.
