About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.

Chris is absolutely the best! Our dogs love him and get so excited to see him. He is super communicative and sends lots of great updates. One of our pups had some vomiting issues at the end of our trip, and he handled it amazingly - made us feel like she was in excellent hands. Chris is our favorite sitter!!

Katie & Mark have been so sweet! I was on an urgent trip and was worried about nobody looking after Kumi, but so lucky to had them take my last-min request. They've been sending me pics and videos of Kumi so I can be relaxed while I’m away from her. Looks like she really likes their family and has had the best time in their house. Thank you all so much, and will definitely love to bring Kumi over again next time if needed!!

Ali is an INCREDIBLE dog caregiver and overall human being. She took so much time and care into taking care of my beagle, Buddy. We received daily photos and videos which made me feel assured that he was in good hands. Buddy even cried when we came to pick him up because he was gonna miss Ali and her cute pup, Pepe!

When I met Melissa before we went on our trip I knew right away that our dog Sophie would be loved and very well cared for. Melissa sent daily updates with photos of their adventures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was safety-minded, making sure not to take Sophie out during the hottest parts of the day so her paws wouldn't get burned on the pavement and also using a GPS tracker during their walks. It was obvious from every message and photo that Sophie was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I wouldn't hesitate to trust Melissa with Sophie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.

Sarah was great! My dog Summer had extreme anxiety in new places so I was nervous to leave her somewhere new. Sarah patiently answered all my pre booking questions and assuaged any concerns I had. Then while Summer was staying with her I got tons of update photos! I love getting pics so much, they really make me feel less worried about leaving Summer with someone new. Sarah’s house appeared comfortable, quiet, and safe for my dog. Summer and her dog Odin got along great. I would definitely book again!

I boarded my dog Bingo with Julie for almost a week. Julie was kind enough to do a meet-and-greet with us since this was the first time I was boarding Bingo with her. Through the duration of her stay with Julie, Bingo seemed really comfortable and at home. I got multiple daily updates (including photos) of her walks, her feeding sessions, and her medication. I really appreciated the thoughtful and timely communication, the level of care and attention, and I would definitely love to board Bingo here again.

Paige was an amazing dog sitter for our two French Bulldogs, and she was willing to take us on as a new client on short notice which really made a difference for us! We’re so appreciative of the attentive care Paige gave our little fur babies, how communicative she was with sending pictures and updates throughout each day of the trip, and for monitoring one of our dogs who has all sorts of allergies. I HIGHLY recommend Paige and we’ll definitely be reaching back out to her!

Fox is such a kind and responsible person, and was so patient with Mango during his short stay! I had a last minute trip and Fox was very accommodating towards us. Mango unexpectedly had more anxiety and issues than I thought he would, but Fox sent a lot of updates and reassurance that the stay was going alright. I would 100% recommend Fox to anyone :) Thank you! we are so appreciative!

Here’s a polished version of your review: Dror and Moran took amazing care of Frida for two weeks while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly proactive and suggested a meet-and-greet before Frida’s stay. That thoughtful gesture immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence that she would be in great hands. Frida is a senior pug with special needs, and they took every detail of my care instructions seriously. I was genuinely touched to see that they had already made adaptations around their home before she arrived to ensure she would be safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The entire family welcomed Frida with so much love and attention. Their regular updates showed just how happy and relaxed she was, and it was clear she was being treated like part of the family. Seeing her so content while I was away gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Dror and Moran to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy pet sitters. They are a wonderful family who genuinely cared about Frida, and I will absolutely be using their services again in the future.

Rafael and Celeste far exceeded our expectations for quality care. They really went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and content. They were very communicative and made sure we had photos and updates throughout the day. Our dog can sometimes have a little separation anxiety but it was clear that she felt super comfortable with Rafael and Celeste. It was a relief to know we could leave our baby with others and know that we could relax completely knowing how well she was being taken care of. I can't recommend Rafael and Celeste enough!

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.
