“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!”
“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 😊”
“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.”
“My 1 year old miniature dachshund loved being at Riitta's house and playing with her puppies. Cooper was there a week and he was so happy and cared for by Riitta and her husband. He became one of the pack and had such fun playing. Riitta sent pictures and shared stories of Cooper's day. I am very thankful for the love that Cooper received. We are not from the area but would definitely book again if we were.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Chris was communicative, quick to respond, and flexible to meet our needs and requests. Our two German Short-haired Pointers looked happy and healthy throughout their stay. Would highly recommend Chris and will use him again!”
“Our boys had a wonderful weekend with Janessa. How do I know? Because they came home just as happy as I left them, and thoroughly exercised out! They promptly curled up on their beds and went to sleep! Thanks, Janessa! We’ll be back for sure!”
“Thank you, Kim, for taking such great care of Cosmo and for sending photos while he was staying with you. During the meet-and-greet, our baby boy was comfortable right away with Kim and in her home. Cosmo came back happy! I’m sure he’ll want to visit again soon. Thank you!”
“Janin is an absolutely wonderful sitter who has quickly become our dog’s favorite 2nd home. I highly recommend Janin’s services to anyone looking for the perfect place for their dogs while they are away.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitting service and I feel very fortunate to have found Suk and T-Bone! Monroe was very well taken care of and I felt fully at ease during my time away from her. 100% recommend Suk! Monroe is excited for the next time she gets to play with T-Bone next month :)”
“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.”
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Liz was!! Her expertise in dog behavior is obvious, her communication (both before and during our pup’s stay) was lovely, and our nervous pup was made so comfortable! It was a relief to know our pup was in such good hands for our weekend away. Thank you Liz!!!”
“Xiaomeng was awesome with my G. She had so much fun! I got videos of walks and “everyday” adventures. She loves being with the owners dog and playing in the yard. Xiaomeng and her husband welcomed G and she loved the TLC. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!”
“We left our Papillion with Cynthia for a week and we are so very happy with her treatment! The home was warm and welcoming and Cynthia provided the attention that we had hoped for. Our dog went for many walks, car rides and to a dog park! We received frequent email updates. Cynthia had no problems administering medications, and even provided some small grooming. Above all , we didn't worry! ”
“Wendy and her family took care of my mini schnauzer for one day boarding. Wendy sent multiple pictures throughout the day and I could tell my dog was doing great there. There were 3 other dogs and my dog had fun with the doggie friends! As a small dog owner, I liked the fact they only accept small dogs. Recommend Wendy for anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Tunyi was calm and wonderful with our dog. She made a special effort to encourage him to eat and sent many pictures and videos each day. Highly recommend!!”

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.
