“We can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She has been our go-to dog sitter for a while now, and it’s clear every time we leave our pups that they are in the best hands. Lisa treats our dogs like her own—with the utmost care, attention, and love. What really sets her apart is how communicative she is. We receive daily updates (sometimes more!) with photos and sweet notes about how our dogs are doing, what adventures he’s been on, and how they are spending their day. It’s honestly the highlight of our day—we always look forward to seeing what they are up to, and let’s be honest, they always seem to be having a better vacation than we are! Lisa has truly earned our trust. We’re repeat customers for a reason: she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cozy nap, or playtime with friends, we know our dogs (frenchie and mini schnauzer) is not just being watched—they are being cared for and loved like family. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and communicative sitter. We can’t wait to see the next round of pictures and adventures she shares with us!”
“My dog Miles had a great stay! I ended up booking much more last minute for the Christmas holiday than I expected, and luckily, Chloe was available and accommodating. Miles instantly bonded with Chloe and her family, and loved getting all the pets and attention from the kiddos. I know he enjoyed getting playtime with another dog guest (since he’s the only dog at home) and more walks than usual. Chloe was a great communicator and kept us up to date with photos and videos throughout the stay. I almost want to book a trip just to have Miles stay at her house again 😂”
“Xiaoshan and Xiuli did a great job boarding my dog. They took the time to make sure she got along well with the other pets in the house. They took her on walks and shared photos of her enjoying her time with them. Will definitely reach out to book them again 😊”
“Kim is an amazing dog sitter. We have a small dachshund with a very special attitude and Kim was able to get along with our dog really easily, Kim was able to take care of him throughout his stay. Kim sent us lovely (and funny) picturs of our dog every single day, which made us feel that our dog was in very good hands. I could give more stars if I could. Thank you Kim!”
“Chris is an excellent host & a great guy. Just by talking to him, you'll come to learn the kind of observation he makes about dogs & level of care he provides. He shared good feedback about our dog and gave me a couple of tips/ideas through our conversations and I intend to make those happen. He also sent photos every day with small and funny messages to go with; which made the kids happy while our family was away on a trip. If you're reading these reviews and considering Chris, we highly recommend him! Thanks, Chris for taking care of Rubble!”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Teri was awesome with Louie. Attentive and caring for our lil guy, his quirks and routines. She sent us daily photos and updates which our son loved (and asked for). She absolutely helped ease our minds leaving our pet with someone else and wouldn't hesitate using her services in the future.”
“Recently we left our pugs with Ritta twice—once for a longer trip and once for a long weekend. Ritta is SO good! She takes excellent care of them, sends lots of updates, gives them plenty of opportunities for play and socialization, but most of all she really loves dogs—and it shows! We wouldn’t leave our puggies anywhere else! 🥰”
“Always incredible care. We have used Stephanie for some time and appreciate her knowledge and patience with our dog. Sitters like this are very far and few.”
“Lena took great care of my dog. She walked him, let him sleep with her and updated how he was doing with pictures and videos every day. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him.”
“I was nervous to leave my dog Rooney for such a long time but Joshua eased all my fears and took such wonderful care of Rooney. My dog had such a great time and Joshua was so timely with detailed updates on Rooney’s health and behavior. It helped keep my mind focused on my trip and not worry about Rooney too much. I would definitely board with Joshua again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Very organized safe caretakers; they are well prepared to host fur babies in their home. Very professional communication and attention to detail sad well. Also; they are able to adapt to people who partake in sudden trips. Very accommodating with healthy boundaries. Highly recommend.”
“Rochelle touched face everyday and get pictures. She took great care of Winnie and was prompt responding before during and after. I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Janessa and family are amazing! My dogs love getting to run around outside and socialize with other pets! Would definitely recommend and will continue to book for future trips!”
“Tracy took excellent care of Nicco. Tracy has years of experience raising and training dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Nicco in her care. Nicco fit in well with her family and her pack and seemed to really enjoy his time “on the farm.” I will definitely request to board again in the future!”
“This was the third time we booked a stay for our little terrier mix Lillie with Cynthia. Cynthia is a great sitter. She is very competent and kept us informed on Lillie's stay by sending photos and text messages daily. Our communication with Cynthia was excellent. We'd definitely book a stay with her again.”
“Buster seemed to enjoy his stay with Quinten. There were a lot of other dogs for him to engage with and the house was set up perfectly for a dog that has spinal issues.”

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 .

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.
