“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”

“My first time using rover and such a great experience. I received photo updates of the adventures which was greatly appreciated. Will definetely book again!”
“Ana was wonderful! Every day she sent me photos and comment about the walks and beach visits she had done with Lucy. She also took extra care to ask about Lucy's medications and how best to keep Lucy cool on a couple of unusually hot days. Her young daughter gave Lucy lots of attention. When I picked Lucy up, I got the impression she would have been happy to stay longer! I highly recommend Ana and will definitely ask her to host Lucy again in the future.”
“Thanks so much! I needed a dog sitter for two days on short notice and Emely came through. Good communication and my pup was happy tired when I picked her up. Would book with her again.”

“Catherine was fantastic! She asked a lot of questions to make sure she had all the info she needed and even walked with me and Molly around the block as a meet and greet before. Molly had a fantastic time at the Seattle center and being out and about!”
“So great with her!! My dog is pretty anxious but he was so kind about it, and she warmed up to him quickly. He even took her to a dog park and from the videos he sent they had a blast. Would definitely book again!”
“Incredible dog sitter! Zhongni was incredibly attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide regular photo updates, she also took some of my favorite photos of him ever. I highly recommend Zhongni if you’re ever in need of a sitter!”
“Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.”
“Laila was superb - close-by and flexible with our pickup/dropoff timing. She was very caring with our pup and we loved receiving so many adorable updates. Will book care with her again for sure.”
“Jennifer took great care of our shy 2-year old FMD while we were out on vacation, complete with regular status updates and pictures. We are definitely looking forward to calling on Jennifer to be our dog sitter when the next need arises!”
“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t recommend Mengyuan highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Mengyuan sent regular updates and adorable photos, which kept me completely at ease. She even cooked beef for my dog! Coco came home happy, healthy, and clearly bonded to them—which says a lot, as she can be a bit shy with new people. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thorough to care for your pup, look no further! I’ll definitely be booking with Mengyuan again.”
“We are so pleased to have Kandice and her family take care of our beloved dogs. She and her whole family are so kind and supportive of our dogs and we also really appreciate the many lovely photos that we receive throughout our stay. It puts the mind at ease to see them happy and safe. If you can work into her schedule I think you will consider yourself lucky to have met her. ”
“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“They were very excited to watch Pepper. These are Dog People who stopped at nothing to make sure Pepper was well exercised and well taken care of. Will be booking with them again”

Ruslana was fantastic with Bailey! I was on a long trip to Europe and Ruslana made sure Bailey was well taken care of with lot’s a walks, play time, and sent daily updates & pictures. It was very reassuring Bailey was in great hands during my long journey. Highly recommend Ruslana, best dog sitter in Seattle!!
Ada was an amazing sitter! My dog can be a bit nervous around strangers, but he got along with Ada straight away. Then when I came to pick him up, he even seemed sad to have to leave her! Ada really put in the extra effort and gave him a ton of attention to make him so comfortable and happy around her, I never knew it was possible for him to bond quickly to a new person! If you're looking for a wonderful and attentive sitter for you dog, I highly recommend Ada, and I will definitely be booking with her in the future.
James was an excellent sitter for Sugaree. I was gone for two weeks and had to make a few adjustments to the drop off and pick up time and he was very accommodating in that regard. He sent me lots of pictures and messages of them out, walking and running and kept me informed of what was going on with her the whole time. He followed specific instructions for administering specific dietary supplements and was just a great sitter that I trust, would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thank you, James!
Michelle and Scott were amazing with our dogs Lola (4) and Marty (7)! Daily picture updates showed them happy and settled in for the 9 days they were in their care. We are so grateful that they were able to care for them again because we were able to take a vacation we planned over a year ago. And we aren’t able to go away and have a good time unless we know the dogs are in good hands and they were. They have both been ill lately which made it even harder to leave. But Michelle and Scott kept up their feeding protocols and were ready and able to implement plan b should they need to. These folks are among the best of the best and we consider ourselves lucky to have them care for our furr babies!
Highly recommend Egor! We have two very different dogs with different needs - one older and anxious and one younger and a tad aggressive. Egor catered towards both their needs with so much care. He also gave regular updates and lots of pictures! His own dog, Courage, was a great companion and super respectful for our dogs differing boundaries. Thank you, Egor!
Jaden was a great host for Scarlett. He made the drop off and pick up easy and was responsive when I messaged. Scarlett is a bit of a nervous dog -- Jaden was thoughtful about introducing her to his dog and made sure she was comfortable. She seemed to enjoy her stay.
Jay and Gabrielle did an amazing job sitting our 7-month-old puppy, Strudel! We were a bit nervous about leaving her with a sitter for the first time, but after meeting Jay and Gabrielle, we felt very confident that she was in excellent hands. I was not worried at all about Strudel while we were away, and Jay and Gabrielle sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely be booking with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Seattle on Rover is $56.61 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,876 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Seattle sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Seattle landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Seattle home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Seattle.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Seattle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
