“Wendy is our go-to dog watcher - she's incredibly kind, always accommodates our needs, and makes the whole process so easy. We especially appreciate the regular updates and adorable photos, which reassure us that Cody is having a great time and he ALWAYS returns home happy and relaxed.”
“She did a great job at taking care of my pup. He was very happy and had lots of fun play time while there. She was very wonderful to work with on scheduling and I definitely recommend her.”
“Aaron and his family were very accommodating and kind. We Will definitely use this provider again in the future and recommend him and his family to any other family looking for quality care. Kiwi was well cared for and left w a smile.”
“Manny and Stefan were great! They spend lots of time with the dogs, letting them run around all day. Super flexible in accommodations, and plenty of chickens and cows for the dogs to observe. Will be booking with them again.”
“Lynda was so great. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable with Luna staying there. Luna got to sleep on the bed and she obviously had a great time. We highly recommend and will use Lynda again. She also sent pictures that set our mind at ease. ♥️”
“Justin is my go-to dog sitter for when I go out of town! He's always willing to watch my dog on short notice, and let me pick her up and drop her off whenever works best for my schedule. I can tell my dog absolutely loves staying with him, as she gets SO Excited when we get there, and always comes home exhausted. It's great that she can play with his family and get all her energy out and be a dog. I never worry about River when I am out of town, so that's a nice feeling! Thanks again Justin for helping me out.”
“Carly was so kind and quick to reply to me, including sending photos and updates on his health often. She had all his things collected and ready for me when I came to pick him up. We will be seeing her again someday!”
“Cheyenne was amazing to work with and took such good care of our boy, Jedi! He was almost sad to leave I could tell. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Wade was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He provided lots of updates and pictures everyday. He seemed to really care about our dog and she didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up! Your dog will get plenty of love, attention and exercise if you book with Wade. I’d highly recommend him. If we ever come back to Seattle, we definitely hope to book with him again. Thank you, Wade!”
“Amanda was great. Our dog is named Rover (yes). We dropped off Rover with Amanda for two nights. Rover would normally bark at someone new but he liked Amanda. She sent us pictures during the trip and gave him a bath too! She was easy to work with regarding drop off and pick up times. When we picked him up we could tell he had a good visit with Amanda. We plan to book with her again. ?”
“Our dog couldn’t have had a better time with Abigail and her family! We received constant updates, and they even worked in our dogs commands/ walking on a leash. We felt so comfortable having Ozzie stay there - We don’t think he wanted to come home! Great big yard for playing and their dog is a sweetheart. Couldn’t recommend Abigail enough!”
“Loved seeing the photos and videos she sent to keep us updated on how Remi was doing. He came home exhausted but happy and still remembered all his manners! We will definitely send him again.”

“Taylor took incredible care of my two year old Bernese Mountain Dog. Jelly was so loved and cared for. Taylor went above and beyond for my Jelly. I would absolutely recommend Taylor.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family! Growing up, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve also cared for cats and understand that they each have their own routines, personalities, and comfort levels. While in college, I worked as a Wag! walker and absolutely loved getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities. I now have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is very much part of the family. I’ve also traveled with dogs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m friendly, active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, your cat prefers some quiet company and attention, or your pet just needs someone to keep their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so walks and playtime fit naturally into my day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks, as well as a friendly Mini Schnauzer of our own. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them the space or attention they need. We also have a basement area that can be completely blocked off if your pet prefers their own quiet space or needs some time away from our dog. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Irene was a SUPERB host for my Rita and will absolutely be re-booking in the future! Facilitated a smooth meet and greet, welcomed Rita in, and was in clear and consistent communication.”
“Megan is pretty much... amazing! Penny has found her second home with Megan and her family. I never worry for Penny and I always know she is having a great time going on lots of walks, playing frisbee, and being loved. I totally recommend using Megan for your next rover house!”
“Renee took such great care of our lab. He is a gentle giant and a big chicken. She sent us pictures regularly and gave us updates which put our minds at ease. And we could tell in the pictures that he felt right at home and was getting lots of love and snuggles. She also took him on walks and threw the ball for him regularly. I’m sure he was more entertained there than he is at home. Lol We would take Maui back to her with no hesitation. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup Renee!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elk is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 397 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Elk can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elk home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
