We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!

Kevin is a very responsible sitter. He made sure that he understood our dog’s habits, routines, and personality. He communicated well and sent several photos a day. We felt very comfortable having Kevin watch our dog!

My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!

Erin and Kevin were just the best! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous using internet strangers as dog watchers. Erin suggested a meet up before and left me with zero worries. Our dog was so well taking care of with daily photos and check ins on all their walks and play times. Will 100% be booking with them again on our next vacation!

Matt has watched our senior Greyhound, Hazel, a dozen times now, and I wanted to make sure to give another review. Matt is an incredible resource for our dog, and I'm so grateful we found him. Greyhounds in particular can be a tricky breed to deal with, especially when they're old, and Matt has been nothing but patient and kind with her through thick and thin. His love for all dogs is something else, and it shows in how he takes care of all his clients. We'll keep coming back! Thanks Matt :)

Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!

We left our dog Charlie with Danielle and Joy for 4 days. We had a nice long conversation at the beginning about what Charlie's needs are and they were very willing to handle that. We let them know Charlie is a cuddler bug, can't eat chicken and hated other dogs and they were very respectful of all of those. They have a place for the dog to play, they sent loads of pictures and Charlie looked extremely happy in all of them even though he normally is very sad when he's away from us. They had treats to offer him and played with him and walked him on a regular basis. 10/10 on everything. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter.

Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.

Nancy is GREAT! Trot had only been away once before, and we were worried that he'd be nervous. But Nancy greeted him with such enthusiasm and affection that he just ran right in and made himself at home. She sent lots of pics, responded right away, and kept him to his routine. Far from being nervous, Trot had a wonderful day!!

We were visiting Seattle from out of town and needed someone to care for our dog, Daisy, while we were on an Alaska cruise. We couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy in his care. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We received updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, especially when you’re traveling far from home. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to book with him again if we’re ever back in the area. Thank you for taking such great care of Daisy!

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Rogue while we were away for the weekend. Lorrie and Andrew took such great care of her and made the entire experience completely stress-free for us. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear from every update that Rogue was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. As dog parents, it means so much to know your pup is being cared for by people who genuinely love animals. When we picked Rogue up, she was her happy self and looked like she had a great time. It was obvious she was well cared for and felt right at home with them. Lorrie and Andrew are kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and we would absolutely trust them with Rogue again in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin and his partner, Kandice. Our French Bulldog, Bobo, is our child, and this was the first time we had left him since he suffered an IVDD flare earlier this year. Needless to say, we were incredibly nervous. Because of his recent health issues, he has a number of restrictions and special considerations to help prevent another IVDD flare, and Kevin and Kandice were so attentive and conscientious about following all of his care instructions. They immediately put us at ease and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, it was obvious that Bobo wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly had been very well cared for. As pet parents, that’s all you can hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. Kevin and Kandice are trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care they provided and will absolutely be using them again. In fact, if they’ll have us, we’d love for them to be our permanent dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our boy. We couldn’t recommend you more highly. ❤️🐾

What Is Seattle Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Worried about your dog’s comfort while you’re away? Rover helps you choose from over 3,200 dog boarding environments hosted by vetted and reviewed Seattle sitters. Turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation in popular Seattle dog-friendly neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Fremont, Capitol Hill, or West Seattle. Rover makes it easy to find affordable dog boarding in Seattle and surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Tacoma, or Bothell. The cost of dog boarding in Seattle, WA, ranges from $65 to $70 per night.

Convenience to SeaTac

Travelers flying through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) can choose from 160+ dog boarding locations within 15 miles. Some sitters may also meet you at the airport for an additional fee.

Tailored Dog Boarding Options in Seattle

  • Solo dog care: 1,682 sitters offer one-on-one attention for anxious pups
  • Fenced yards: 1,378 sitters have outdoor play areas for high-energy pups
  • Boarding + daycare: 1,937 sitters offer daycare for playful dogs
  • Grooming & bathing: 710 sitters provide light grooming for long-term stays
  • Multi-pet boarding: 1,536 sitters welcome multiple dogs or cats
Unlike traditional kennels that follow a strict group schedule, dog boarding through Rover is customizable to your dog’s emotional needs. For most sitters, services such as additional walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are included in their daily rate.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like:
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll around Green Lake or Belltown waterfront
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
When booking, factor in your dog’s habits and needs to your sitter’s location. Does your dog need off-leash playtime? A sitter who lives in the U District may visit Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. Well-socialized dogs may enjoy staying with sitters who live by dog-friendly outdoor patios, like Bark!Espresso, a dog-themed café with fun treats for pups, or The Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard.
Need more routine stability? If your pup thrives on routine, Seattle house sitting services may be a better choice. For about $75 per night, a Seattle sitter will stay in your home and follows your care instructions.
