Yet another awesome experience with Ponyo. She’s super responsive, sends frequent updates and photos, and takes great care of our old dog. I love having her nearby! She’s so flexible with our dog’s needs as he ages.

Davis gladly accepted taking care of Esther for 10 days while I was traveling. I am grateful for him taking this on without hesitation. I recommend him for his kindness & love of animals. Also he is a charming young man.

Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.

Anyssa even printed out photos from Nori’s stay which was such a nice touch. Would definitely book again with Anyssa and Nakoul in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boi :-)

Ana was absolutely amazing. As someone who misses their pup while traveling, Ana was a dream sitter. Always sharing quick check-ins with photos so I knew my pup was doing just fine. She even took the time to read my dogs profile and understand her little quirks. When I had travel delays she was super communicative, and flexible. From meet & greet to pickup, I had a great experience with Ana, and would definitely recommend.

We had such a great experience with Mrs.Hong. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the very beginning that she truly cared about my dog and treated him like family, not just a booking. Jax came home happy and clearly well-loved. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that he was in great hands. I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves dogs.

Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!

Daisy did a wonderful job watching our dog, Fleia, over the weekend. She sent regular updates so we always knew how Fleia was doing, and it was clear Fleia was well cared for. Daisy was also incredibly accommodating when we realized we had made a mistake with the booking times and needed an extra day of care. We really appreciated her flexibility, communication, and kindness. We’d happily book with her again!

Samuel and Ale were absolutely wonderful with Zeus. They took such amazing care of him and truly loved him like he was their own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was with people who were so attentive, caring, and affectionate with him. It’s really hard for me to leave Zeus with other people because he has a lot of anxiety and is very high energy, so finding people I fully trust with him means everything. Samuel and Ale exceeded all expectations. They kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was so clear from the photos and messages how comfortable, happy, and loved he was with them. He came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. I would absolutely trust Samuel and Ale with Zeus again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and loving sitters!

Samantha was so good with our buddy! We’re new to the area and new to rover, not to mention our dog has some anxiety and reactivity on a leash so we were very nervous about finding someone we trusted but Samantha was so kind and reassuring and so great with him. She sent so many wonderful pictures and updates I was able to relax on our trip knowing our pup was well taken care of!

Dog Boarding FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Downtown dog boarding sitter for the first time, visit the sitter’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a sitter before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Typically, dog boarding sitters on Rover respond in under an hour, so you should be matched with the perfect sitter for you and your dog in no time!

Experience can vary widely from sitter to sitter, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing sitters available in Downtown.

Rover makes it easy to find Downtown dog boarding sitters to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star sitters you can find on Rover will welcome your dog into their home when you’re away—whether it’s just for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding is great for:

  • Dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies
  • Pet parents looking for a safe, loving alternative to a kennel
  • Dogs who’d love to socialize with their sitter’s pets

Yes! Sitters joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog boarding sitter through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your sitter has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your pet is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog boarding sitter requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog boarding service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your sitter’s cancellation policy.

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.
