“Tracy was so great for my boys on my first Christmas without them. Her home setup is made for pups. She loves and keeps every pup in her care safe even on busy weeks! I appreciate the updates and the cuddles she shared with my guys!”
“A Big Thank You to Alton, Valerie, and their children. They did a wonderful job taking care of Presley. They sent updates and pictures of Presley playing with their pup Ollie and also their children. It is comforting to see that he is enjoying himself and also snuggling with the kids. We appreciate having a safe place to leave our dog when we are away. Highly recommend them to care for your pup. We will definitely be a repeat client.”
“The absolute best - can’t recommend Wendy enough. We had her watch our dogs while we were visiting family in the area and she was super accommodating. The dogs came back happy!”
“Their communication was great. They took our 8-month old puppy (Betty) into their family for 3 nights. They asked if I was OK if she went on a family hike and sent pictures of Betty on the hike. The whole family is kind and welcoming. Betty enjoyed her time there.”
“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book again!”
“Mandy did such a great job with Sadie! She seemed to really like it there. Mandy kept me up to date on how she was doing and sent pictures. Thank you again Mandy for taking good care of my babies Sadie.”
“This was only the second time boarding our anxious Aussie Labradoodle. The first time at a commercial kennel was terrible. Julia was beyond fantastic. Far exceeded our expectations. Our kids left the drop off in tears, worried about how Harley ? would adjust to another family. During our trip we got daily updates, immediately quelling any fears our young kids had about where their beloved puppy was. Harley came back to us freshly bathed, smiling, & ready to play with Hachi again! We will most definitely be using Julia & her sweet family again to love on our pup when we are out of town!”
“My dogs were well taken care of with Nicole. She kept me posted on how they were doing and has a great set up for housing pups, with property for dogs to walk and play. She was easy to work with and was able to watch my dogs with a last minute request. I highly ecommend!”
“We took a family vacation and needed a dog sitter. It was our first time needing a sitter and we were a bit hesitant. We came across Summer’s profile and after our initial meet and greet, instantly felt at ease about the whole process. Summer is very obviously a dog lover and welcomed our dog in like he was a part of her family. He had a great time with her little girl, and we had constant updates with pictures while we were away, which my daughter was super grateful for and loved. If we are ever in need of a dog sitter again, we will go through Summer again without hesitation.”
“I've never boarded a dog before as I'm always the one boarding. Aaron asked great questions & followed my instructions perfectly. Nice to have someone I feel confidence leaving my pup(s) with now.”
“Lynda was great with Murphy. First time left in a new person’s home without his brother. He was happy playing with the other dogs. And got much needed play time. I will have Lynda watch Murphy again.”
“Ashley was great! I was nervous to try someone new but she was amazing at sending me updates, videos and messages to assure me. She took amazing care of our pup and I would go back and highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Lindsey and Leland, et al, were great. 😊. They seemed super excited to have my baby Brandy, Brandy seemed very at ease with them When I picked her up. She was very chill - way different than she is when she is at a kennel. I was nervous as to how she would do, but the team at Lindsey and Leland’s seemed great. Brandy already has time set up to “visit” with them again!”
“Great sitter. Sent photos several times a day. Took her on walks and trips in car for new areas to walk and explore. Our dog was pampered and spoiled as promised. First time she stayed there and with all the love and affection she was given, more like she was a kid who went to visit grandma and grandpa for a few days.”
“Brooke took such amazing care of our dog. She sent pictures and I can just tell that she had an amazing time. She took her on walks and our dog had such a good time with the other dogs. The location is amazing, she slept well, and played hard. Brooke was very attentive to our dog’s unique needs. She came home, tired and very happy. I highly recommended Brooke for you fur baby!”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“Heidi was amazing! She and her sweet family provided our dog with lots of care & attention. We also appreciated the daily photos and updates. Our dog came home happy, healthy & clean. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Emily did an amazing job with Griffey! She was so kind to take him last minute when our original help canceled and was so accommodating with my work schedule for drop off and pickup! She sent me regular updates and pictures through the couple days he was there! He came home the happiest dog!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elk on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 391 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.
