Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.

Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.

Laila’s love for pups shows. She was extremely caring with our pup and kept us informed with photos. We were so nervous, as we’ve never left our pup with anyone but she really put us at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy, caring and professional to watch their pup!

Pros: Ginny seemed to have a great time, and Yuliia seems to really like dogs and treat them well. She is very responsive to messages which is great. We appreciated her daily photos/videos, and she followed our instructions. She was agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Our dog has never been with a cat, so she even had a friend watch her cat during the stay to accommodate our dog, which was very kind. Cons: Communication was tricky as English is not her first language. Communication (possibly cultural differences?) was an issue especially with pickup and dropoff. Yuliia seemed to have an inconsistent work schedule and changed the time for dropoff and pickup at the last minute, which was confusing and stressful. At pickup, she was at work and none of my dog’s items were packed, resulting in us leaving some items by accident and needing to schedule another time just to pick them up. Her teenage son was the one who met us at pickup and her friend during pickup of the items, so she was actually not there at all either time. Our dog did seem happy, so overall the stay went well; I just would hope there is better communication next time.

Stephanie did an amazing job with our dogs. They can be anxious when they are away from us, but she was so good with them and made them feel so comfortable. She also responds quickly and provided us with pictures and updates throughout our trip. She is also flexible and was understanding of our possible changes in our trip plans and the delay we had in getting back to pick them up. We would definitely have our dogs stay with her again in the future!

Wanqing and her husband were excellent with my pup! I am visiting from out of the area and she accepted my last minute booking as I was planning a hiking trip to Mt. Rainier (where most of the hikes are not dog friendly). She was attentive to my dog and took him on several walks and even to the dog park. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent pictures and videos! Kado left happy and tired! Will definitely rebook if I am in the area again.

Fantastic dog sitters. Violet is a lot of work. Melissa and Allan handled all her quirks and funny puppy behaviors. The updated were consistent and so reassuring to me while I was traveling! And Melissa and Allan went above and beyond to hold onto Violet for an extra few hours when my travel plans changed suddenly. Thank you, Melissa and Allan!

I recommend Nikki! She is a very thoughtful and considerate sitter and asked lots of questions about my dog's likes and comfort and made sure that her own dog and mine could play well together. She gave Ripley lots of exercise and attention and gave great updates on her activities. She is also very safety focused and so I felt comfortable with Ripley's stay. My dog was nice and tired and relaxed when she came home. Thanks, Nikki!

Quinten took such great care of our 9-month-old pup, Raya, while we were away for spring break. From the moment we dropped her off, my daughter and I felt completely at ease—Quinten’s love for dogs was clear right away. Throughout our trip, he sent us wonderful videos of Raya looking so happy, whether she was cuddling with him or out on walks. It gave us so much peace of mind! We’re already planning to book with him again for our summer vacation.

We have hired Carolyn several times now, for long and short trips, and she has been wonderful every time. This last time was over two weeks, during which our dog had a minor medical issue. Carolyn informed us of the issue, kept us updated while she took our pup to the vet to get checked out, and actually managed to get her to take her medication. Doing great now! We are so grateful for the great care and attentiveness. 10/10 definitely recommend!

My dog could not be happier, I got so many updates via photos and texts; in every picture you could tell how much attention Pilot was getting, how happy all of the dogs were to play together and they literally posed for the photos like they were in Best in Show. The dogs played tag through a giant sunflower garden, waded in a kiddie pool and bunked together on a big leather couch at night. I’m definitely going back to this Rover and would recommend him without hesitation.

This was Buffy's second stay but first overnight and Elise took such wonderful care of her. Buffer adores her and I can tell that she feels very comfortable with her with how excited she was to see her again. Elise takes the extra time to be with her, giving her affection and snuggles and it makes a big difference. Appreciate the updates as well!

What Is Seattle Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Worried about your dog’s comfort while you’re away? Rover helps you choose from over 3,200 dog boarding environments hosted by vetted and reviewed Seattle sitters. Turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation in popular Seattle dog-friendly neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Fremont, Capitol Hill, or West Seattle. Rover makes it easy to find affordable dog boarding in Seattle and surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Tacoma, or Bothell. The cost of dog boarding in Seattle, WA, ranges from $65 to $70 per night.

Convenience to SeaTac

Travelers flying through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) can choose from 160+ dog boarding locations within 15 miles. Some sitters may also meet you at the airport for an additional fee.

Tailored Dog Boarding Options in Seattle

  • Solo dog care: 1,682 sitters offer one-on-one attention for anxious pups
  • Fenced yards: 1,378 sitters have outdoor play areas for high-energy pups
  • Boarding + daycare: 1,937 sitters offer daycare for playful dogs
  • Grooming & bathing: 710 sitters provide light grooming for long-term stays
  • Multi-pet boarding: 1,536 sitters welcome multiple dogs or cats
Unlike traditional kennels that follow a strict group schedule, dog boarding through Rover is customizable to your dog’s emotional needs. For most sitters, services such as additional walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are included in their daily rate.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like:
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll around Green Lake or Belltown waterfront
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
When booking, factor in your dog’s habits and needs to your sitter’s location. Does your dog need off-leash playtime? A sitter who lives in the U District may visit Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. Well-socialized dogs may enjoy staying with sitters who live by dog-friendly outdoor patios, like Bark!Espresso, a dog-themed café with fun treats for pups, or The Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard.
Need more routine stability? If your pup thrives on routine, Seattle house sitting services may be a better choice. For about $75 per night, a Seattle sitter will stay in your home and follows your care instructions.
