Lorena took care of Ginkgo like he was her own! She provided daily updates while we were away and missing him. She and her husband are wonderful caretakers and they are definitely our go-to dog sitters going forward.

Rinita took excellent care of my dog, Roo. She made it easy to coordinate drop off and pick up logistics and sent great updates and photos while Roo was in her care. She was also very accommodating of Roo’s needs and attentive to her. I would absolutely recommend Rinita and would happily leave Roo in her care anytime.

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!

Anna was beyond caring for our brand new rescue pup - who arrived right before our vacation and a bit earlier than we had expected. We were at ease knowing that our little Nori was well loved and taken care of. We received many pictures of happy puppy playtimes, cuddles, and many daily walks. ❤️ I would absolutely hire Anna again!

This was our first time using Rover, so we were pretty nervous to leave our little 9 month old precious puppy with someone we didn't know. After looking at quite a few sitters, Michelle and Brian just felt right! As soon as we met them, we knew we had the right people! Our puppy, Oakley, was immediately comfortable and feeling right at home. There were absolutely no hesitations, this was the place! They were so nice to send pictures along the way that showed how much fun Oakley was having with their puppy and how relaxed he was. It was very comforting to know he was in such good hands. We are thrilled to know the next time we go out of town, Oakley will have his own vacation. I know he can hardly wait to play with his new best friend! Do not hesitate. Michelle and Brian are perfect puppy sitters!

Maiko was an incredible sitter for our 14 week old puppy. she kept in constant communication, asking questions as they came up and providing regular updates while sending us tons of photos. I was very nervous to leave our 14 week Great Pyrenees puppy but we had a family wedding to attend and had to leave him. Maiko was everything we could have hoped for in a sitter and I could truly feel the love and caring she had for our baby. I would without a doubt use her again and I’m so thankful I found her!

Pancake’s stay at Kenith’s was great! It was her first overnight stay outside our home and she seemed to have a blast. We received daily pictures, all showing her either having fun playing with the other dogs or passed out, exhausted. Drop off and pick up were a breeze too. Thanks for taking such good care of our puppy!

I had a great experience leaving Benji with Yu Fang for two weeks. She sent daily updates with photos and I always knew how he was doing and that he was well cared for. When he had a bit of diarrhea, she let me know right away and started him on a simple diet that cleared things up quickly. She even checked in about whether to contact the vet. I really appreciated how attentive and proactive she was. Her home is very dog friendly, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. I felt at ease the entire time and would absolutely book with Yu Fang again.

Anna is amazing! I was hesitant in general leaving Roo with a new person for a night since he is so young (3 months old) and learning a lot of new things, but he had a great time with Anna and she loved him as if he was her own dog. Prior to the boarding, she was very communicative and was happy to answer my questions. She offered a meet and greet, which was appreciated since I was nervous about him not being with me. Once he was there, she sent lots of photos and checked in regularly to let me know how he was doing. She also gave him a little sweater to wear, which was sweet. Most importantly, I appreciated how she took my/his puppy concerns seriously (ex. using potty pads instead of going outside since he wasn't fully vaccinated yet) and was very accommodating to him to make sure he stayed safe and happy. I would highly recommend Anna if you are looking for someone who will help your dog feel loved, comfortable and safe in their care while you're away. Thank you Anna for taking such great care of Roo!

Yan did an amazing job with Bo! This was our first time being away from him and we were nervous because Bo can be a handful… even though he’s 3 years old, he has some puppy tendencies that we are still working on. All in all, my husband and I were able to enjoy some much needed relaxation without the “kids” and celebrate our anniversary, with Yan’s amazing help. She kept our minds at ease, sending us regular pictures and updates. Thank you Yan!

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.
