“Chance always comes home so happy from Helen's house! She's lovely and caring and such a dog lover. She's taken the time to get to know our dog and he loves to go on his "vacations" at her house. ”
“Julie and her family are wonderful! She took great care of Lina and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay! We will definitely be taking Lina back again. Thank you so much!”
“Tim was an amazing sitter for our dog Zoey. He communicated clearly, convenient location, sent daily pictures and message updates and was a perfect fit for our family. Thank you Tim!”
“I would recommend Michael & Leslie H. I would certainly use them again. Despite some technical challenges in our communications during my trip they handled every professionally and took great care of my dog”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups! We so appreciate the care and attention Jaime gives to providing daily updates, photos, and videos. We can travel worry-free knowing they are in good hands.”
“I'm happy to trust my sweet little Havanese, Uuno, to Riitta's care whenever we are out of town. Riitta gives personalized, professional and loving care. I feel like Riitta's place has become like a home-away-from-home to my dog. Uuno is always happy to go there, which to me is the best proof that he has a genuinely good time at Riitta's care while the rest of the family is on vacation. If I had any doubt on that, it would be difficult for me to fully enjoy traveling. Riitta replies promptly and keeps us updated with beautiful photos and texting. I feel very fortunate to have met Riitta and highly recommend her!”
“Peach stayed at Janin’s house for the second time this weekend. Once again, she had a vacation at Janin’s. There was the gorgeous yard to explore, the dogs to play with, and the loving family inside where she was welcome to be comfortable. I can’t recommend Janin enough for how wonderful her care has been for Peach!!”
“Hands down the best dog sitter we have had for our doggo. We left her with Theresa for a whole month and that whole time got an update almost every day on how she was doing. We were able to rest easy knowing that she was well taken care of.”
“Cathy was incredible with our dog Gus. She gave individual attention and love to our dog. Her communication was amazing. I felt so good on our vacation knowing that cathy was taking such good care of our precious dog. Kathy is a dog whisperer.”
“John took excellent care of our pup. Was extremely responsive and flexible in setting up drop off and pick up and sent us fantastic daily updates of all the fun our dog had. Would book with John again!”
“Kim took wonderful care of Louie, my elderly min pin. I could tell in the pictures she sent and in his demeanor when I picked him up that it was a very calm and positive stay for him. His health issues make taking care of him a bit more complicated than younger pups, but Kim was wonderful about accommodating his needs. I love the fact she takes only smaller dogs because my small and elderly little guy didn’t seem nervous about being trampled by the pack. Kim let him come on in and make himself at home. She is amazing and my only worry is she will be discovered and there won’t be room for Louie the next time I call. ❤️”
“Duque was really happy when I pick him up, so that says a lot of his stay. Alexis was very responsive and sent a lot of pictures of their adventures. Highly recommended!”
“Patricia took such loving care of Prince! She has a wonderful home and yard so I think he really felt at home. He had fun and is one happy pup! Thank you for your quick responses and short notice availability- we will definitely book with her again!! 🐾”
“Laura was wonderful in taking care of our 2yr old Golden retriever Layla. Laura ensured she took Layla for walks with her kids and kept updating us with lovely pictures. Will definitely recommend Laura for pet sitting and overnight boarding !!”
“Once again, Barley was provided excellent care by Sarah and family. He's an old guy and they kept a close eye on him, gave him some extra help with walking when needed. This is a loving home offering compassionate care and we highly recommend them.”
“She is so kind and good with dogs. Went on hour long walks. Great for my dog who lives in the city to go out to a forested area. Also my dog enjoyed watching tv inside too!”
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was very young. Whether it be friends or family, those around me always know that they can trust their pet is in good hands under my care! I just got back from traveling and am looking to fill my time! I have mostly open availability for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I’ve cared for pets in every setting and can adapt to the needs of your pet and home. I know your home can be a very private space and you can trust that it’ll be treated that way!
“Qiaohui was wonderful with our pup and made her feel just like at home. She catered to all her needs and indulgences she was used to and sent us daily photos and lovely videos. Knowing that she was well looked after made our trip more enjoyable. I know she can’t wait to stay with Qiaohui again.”
“Chris was great with our 5 year old pup Jax. He sent pictures every day which was very reassuring. It was our first time using Rover and he made the whole process very easy. We are definitely going to give him a call next time we need a place for Jax. Thanks Chris!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carnation on Rover is $32.08 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carnation. 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 Carnation 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 Carnation 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 Carnation 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 Carnation.
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 Carnation 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.
