“We can't say enough wonderful things about Lisa. We are so happy to have found a great companion for our sweet boy, who loves him just as her own.

“Xiaomeng was fantastic in taking care of my old girl. I love the pictures and videos she would send to keep me updated. My dog got sick while Xiaomeng was watching her and she was kind in keeping me informed and taking care of her. I felt so bad she had to deal with that but Xiaomeng reassured me she was okay and we talked about the best course of action to help my dogs stomach issue. I really appreciate her attentiveness and communication.”

“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”


“Kramer LOVED Jessica! We are very thankful for how well she treated him with beautiful walks, playing with toys and letting him just follower her around. He really appreciated her letting him sleep with them. We loved the frequent updates with pictures; it really helped us deal with being away from him. We are so glad we found her to watch him when we need to go out of town.”

“Rochelle and her husband took such good care of our senior dog. She kept us updated on his adventures while we were traveling. I know that he enjoyed him time with them! Thanks for taking such good care of him. It was a pleasure.”
“We loved Tracy! She is so knowledgeable and experienced and we felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. We will definitely send our dogs back to her, they had so much fun with the other dogs she had and at her incredible property.”

“Wendy took great care of our dogs. You could tell that she and her husband are dog people and will provide great care for your dogs while you are away. Wendy provided daily texts with updates and pictures. Our dogs definitely made themselves at home. ”

“We are very happy with boarding our dog with Ivonne and Julio and of course, their friendly dog. They provided daily texts, pictures and videos. We love that they only take one dog unless from the same family. We also appreciate the daily walks and that they have a lovely fenced yard. Our dog loved sunning herself on their deck. Definitely will book again with them. * Had to write this review a second time as issue with app deleted it.”

“Kyle and his whole family gave Millie and Mabel such a warm welcome! They have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and Kyle sent us lots of updates and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Kyle & Marissa again!”

“Julie was amazing with our dogs. She has a lot of land so they got to run to their hearts desire and even got to sleep in the bed with her. So spoiled! ❤️We received adorable photos and videos while we were gone. She even did some leash work with Theo, which he really needs and I noticed the difference already. She has trained a lot of dogs in the past and seems to be a dog whisperer. I would love to have her sit our dogs again. I think they will miss the free roam they got on her land. Thank you Julie!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Vanessa took great care of our furry baby, sent regular pictures and updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie was great! Super communicative and helpful with my senior dog who needed a some extra care. I booked for day care and had check ins to see what was needed each day. I knew I could trust her with everything including ensuring medication was given when needed.”


“Mana and Kento were absolutely amazing. They send pictures and videos of piper every day. They were very attentive of my pups needs and loved her like their own. I could tell at pick up that piper had a great time and was well taken care of. Next time that I need to go out of town I will want to use Mana and Kento!”

“Our Bernedoodle, Ludo, had a wonderful stay with Patricia and her family! She sent daily updates and photos and gave him all the snuggles and belly rubs that he needs. He got along well with her two older labs and enjoyed the big fenced back yard. We’re so thankful to have a home away from home where we can trust he’ll be well cared for when we leave town. Highly recommend!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carnation is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $90 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Carnation can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carnation home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
