“Alton and Val and their daughters are always so happy to watch after my doggy. And My dog is excited to go there. Happiness play days at their home. Thank you”
“Our two pups had a fantastic time boarding with Melissa and Joey for 11 nights while we were on vacation. Absolutely no worries on our end during our trip, knowing they were being so well cared for. Melissa is quick to respond to all messages and provided regular updates. 100% will use them again for both boarding and in-house visits!”
“Velma is the sweetest and takes wonderful care of our girl. She's very flexible and communicates well. We always have peace of mind Tila is getting all the love and attention she requires. Thanks so much Velma!”
“Heather is ohenomenal. She basically adopts my dog for three days. Kept me informed and at ease. A time of great strain became bearable because of her care for my Emma. I will use her service again!”
“Trina's stay was amazing!!! She was treated like royalty. Lots of love and exercise. Julia is awesome and totally pampers your pet. When it rained, she put a jacket on Trina to play outside and the family gave her so much attention. The bath was the icing on the cake. Will definitely book with Julia any time we leave town and need a sitter. Above and beyond is all I can say!”
“Tiana did great with our pups! They stayed for three nights and had a blast. Tiana provided lots of pictures, videos, and updates about how the dogs were doing. We felt comfortable with her watching them and would recommend boarding with her!”
“Tracy is the absolute best! My pup Papaya always has a blast whenever she stays with Tracy - she gets ton of social play time with other pups and always manages to make a new best friend 😄 also get photo and video pup-dates while I’m gone which I really appreciate! Tracy takes such great care of all the pups, I would highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in boarding their pup! Will definitely continue to board Papaya with Tracy 😊”
“Charlie had a lovely time. I got pictures while gone. Charlie was a naughty boy and marked, this is something he never does at home. Dusti handled iy well. I would recommend her and would use her again. Excellent communication throughout the stay.”
“Lindsey, Leland, and their kids took amazing care of our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Callie. She had injured her back leg about a month before her stay, and they were incredibly thoughtful in managing her needs. They made sure she got all her medications and adjusted her walks based on what she could handle. I’m pretty sure Callie felt like she was at a spa—between the gentle attention, extra brushing, and love from their three wonderful kids, she was clearly in great hands. I accidentally mixed up the pickup date by a day, but Lindsey and Leland were incredibly accommodating and kept Callie that extra day without hesitation. I was so relieved, knowing she wouldn’t have to be shuffled to a different home just for one night. Throughout her stay, they regularly updated us with photos—Callie lounging in the grass, out on a walk, or happily curled up in someone’s lap. The peace of mind they gave us was priceless. If I could give Lindsey and Leland six stars, or more, I absolutely would. They went above and beyond in every way.”
“Always a lovely stay for our little Birdie with Teri and her family. We had some travel issues coming home and she was very accommodating and made a stressful situation, much less so.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful to book with. She got us in last minute, was very responsive, and gave lots of updates with pictures. She even met us closer for drop off, as she was in the area.Our dogs were in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”
“Patricia is truly a 5-Star sitter! We really appreciate the time and attention she invested in getting acquainted with our boxer's particular needs and quirks. She was very positive and great communicating both before and during Rocky's stay. We received daily updates, both stories of his antics, or pic's of him just relaxing with the family. Clearly, they made him feel welcome. At one point during our trip, Patricia even helped us out with a minor emergency house visit. You know you've found a great pet sitter when you see an attachment has formed when you pick up your pet. We will definitely ask Patricia to care for Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“Anita took great care of my kitten littermates who were away from home for the first time. I would definitely use her again to care for our boys. She was professional, kind and flexible in resolving an error I made when inputting the pick up date/time.”
“This was the first time I boarded my dog, Penny, and Ashley and Robbie were amazing throughout the entire process from the first messages back and forth to the first meeting all the way through the boarding. They provided daily updates with pictures and videos, were helpful in socializing Penny with other dogs, and even gave us a nice care package at the end which was thoughtful! Will most definitely book with them again.”
“My senior girl loved Janiel's place. Beautiful yard, ball throwing, and Janiel made sure to keep me updated with pics. So glad I found such a great place for Scout. She tells me she hopes to visit again.”
“Wendy is wonderful! They have a very professional setup, from air conditioned kennels, to individual kennels/runs for each dog, and keeping us informed on how the dogs were doing during their stay. When we picked up our dogs up they were happy and healthy. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“Scooby had an amazing time and we will be asking Chantel to keep Scooby when we need sitting. Just a great experience having her watch our sweet boy! I highly recommend Chantel for pet sitting your pup.”
“Lance was beyond incredible!! This was our first time boarding our dog for more than one night but boy did he have an amazing time!! From the moment my pup met Lance I knew he'd be in good hands all weekend. My pup was so tuckered out that he even slept outside of the crate!! Seriously, put your trust in lance to take phenomenal care of your loved ones. I will 100% be coming back again and again for daycare and boarding”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elk on Rover is $49.95 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 395 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elk. 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.
96% of Elk 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 Elk 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 Elk 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 Elk.
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 Elk 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.
