“Our dogs really enjoyed their time with Debbi and her family. Debbi was so loving and caring for our fur babies! In fact, we have already scheduled the next visit!”

“Lisa is just fabulous and is Odin's home away from home. He is showered with attention and engaging activities and comes home super happy and healthy. We are grateful for the caring and loving environment that Lisa provides!”

“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Giovanna! She sent lots of pictures and videos and was flexible with our pick up time. We look forward to having them stay again!”

“Piotr had a great time staying with Liz! She is very detail oriented when asking questions about our furbaby. Anything that could help her get to know him and aide her in giving him the best care tailored to him. She even sent us pictures and updates on what they were up to, which I genuinely appreciated. She also has a plethora of different toys and stimuli to challenge him mentally as well. He came home with two new tricks, shake/high five AND hide and seek with a stuffed ball! I can't wait to keep working with the foundation she was able to lay with him. Thank you for treating our little boi so well, I look forward to having you watch either or both our pups in the future.”


“As always, Ritta is the best! The most important thing is my pugs love her. Also, she keeps them safe, which is so important to me. She and Rudy went the extra mile this time, as they ran out of food (my pugs are on a special diet) and drove all the way into Redmond to pick up more. That’s dedication! I can’t recommend Ritta highly enough!”

“Andrea was amazing with our dog Charlie. She went above and beyond caring for him, treating him like her own! She was always quick to respond and sent us lots of updates while we were away. During pickup, I could tell Charlie felt attached to her and her husband, which was so heartwarming. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the very best care for their pup.”

“Such an amazing stay! My 11m old puppy hasn’t been away from me that often and I was a bit worried in the beginning. Their big yard and all the doggy friends made it a dog park for my Yumi, she had so much fun even in this Seattle weather! I am especially thankful for Janessa’s work to settle her inside and during the night, since Yumi is still a curious puppy. Would recommend this place 100%! Yumi didn’t want to come home with me at the end 🤣”

“Heather took excellent care of my dog. I appreciated her responsiveness to communicating logistics and the updates she shared while caring for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”

“Helen is just amazing! She is a wealth of animal knowledge and clearly loves them. She really went above and beyond in caring for our dog and 2 cats. I can't thank her enough. It's so great to be able to get out of town and not worry about your furry babies.”
“Thanks for taking care of Oliver like he is your own dog. We did not feel missing him with your updates regarding his meals and pictures. He really seemed like enjoyed all the walks.”

“Fiona and her family were so amazing with Theo!! I was a nervous wreck leaving him with a sitter for the first time but Fiona made sure to ease my fears and keep me updated daily. Theo returned to us incredibly happy and well cared for. Will definitely be rebooking!! :)”

“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.”

“Kim took such great care of our Pomeranian! It was so nice getting photos of Minnie running around with the other pups. She came home happy, well-cared for, and exhausted, like she had been at summer camp!”

“Chris is definitely our "go to" for our 4 legged family member! Always feel comfortable leaving Jax there when we're unable to take him with us!! We will be referring him to family and friends. Thanks again Chris.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carnation on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,113 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.
