“We had a great experience! Pick up and drop off were easy and convenient, and Colin communicated well throughout the stay. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would happily book with him again!”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing. She took me in last minute and cared for my dog very well. She was very sweet and understanding with what my dog needed. She sent me updates on my dog throughout the whole weekend. I’d definitely come back again.”
“Leanne was great with our dog! We received lots of pictures and updates on how things were going. Our dog had slight separation anxiety but Leanne took him on a walk to help calm him. Leanne is a great host, super responsive, and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Great guy, no complaints! His dogs play well with others and the house is nice. He kept in good communication and sent pictures of my dog during the stay, would re-book and recommend him to others!”
“Wonderful as always! I’m so grateful for Lauren’s flexibility and the amazing care she gives my pup. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and she’s consistently dependable and accommodating with any requests I’ve had. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jess is in such good hands.”
“Keep is absolutely wonderful and so sweet! She sent us multiple photos everyday of our furbabies and in every photo they had a smile. We know that our pups had so much fun with her because less than an hour of being back home, they were both passed out on their dog bed. We couldn’t have picked a better person to love on our pups while we were away.”
“Jennifer is an amazing person who is understanding and communication is very good. She is always keeping me updated about my dog. She shows how passionate she is on what she does and I know for sure my dog is happy when she is in her home. I totally will continue to take my furry best friend to her as long as she allows it when out of town :)”
“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”
“We contacted Kevin very last minute to board Luna for 2 nights. He was able to accommodate our request. We were driving 2 hours from home and this worked out perfectly because we were staying for an event in the same city. We weren't sure if we'd stay an extra night and Kevin was flexible to our last minute decisions. Luna was having such a great time at Dog Camp that we actually stayed another night in a hotel (left the airbnb) for HER benefit. Kevin sent several photos and videos. That's always appreciated. Kevin made sure Luna ate her breakfast, went potty, and got to play before we had the 2 hour drive home. He KNOWS dogs. He wanted to tire her out a bit because we expressed that Luna has anxiety on freeways. I wish he lived closer to Mill Creek/Bothell. We'd have Luna stay with him once a week. You will not be disappointed in choosing Kevin. He even had her backpack ready to go, on leash outside, when we arrived. Super great guy! He's definitely a dog person. His home is perfect for doggos. 🐶 Thank you, Kevin!!”
“Bethany and her family are fabulous sitters. This time they watched all 3 of our dogs not just our pup. Our pup Fizzle got herself into some mischief and from beginning to end Bethany helped us out. It made the whole thing much less stressful. We adore Bethany and our dogs do too!”
“Attentive and obvious that she cared after my dog while I was gone over the holidays. She even took the time to brush Jasper so he wouldn’t get knotted from walking in the rain. There was an issue with the rover text communication and she handled it professionally.”
“Jesse was super responsive and accommodating. My dog Abby is an escape artist and Jesse’s space and attitude gave me comfort. Abby got along great with his dog checkers and she did not seem all that excited to see me when I came to get her. A good sign she was well cared for and comfortable with Jesse and Checkers. Will book with Jesse again.”
“Kristin was a great sitter. She gave Josie Jo lots of love and attention and her little dog became Josie’s good friend. She sent photos and videos which made my day. I will definitely ask Kristen to care for Josie Jo again when I travel.”
“James and his wife went out of their way to provide Henry good care while I was away. They were happy to accommodate his supplements and treats that I brought He enjoyed outside time in their big yard with the other dogs. He made fast friends with one of the bigger dogs and they said they slept cuddled up - so good to hear! They kept in touch and were responsive as well as flexible about pickup. I feel they provide a warm haven for the dogs in their care and their experience in doing this goes a long way.”
“Michael is literally the best dog sitter we have had. He has a lot of knowledge and experience with large breeds, this is the second time we book with him and definitely will not be our last time.Thank you Michael for your patience watching our big guy, we really appreciate your help!”
“Jerrie was awesome! We booked her for an extended weekend at the very very last minute (might have even been same day). She took all 3 of my little chaos causers and sent soooooo many photos. This was our first time leaving our newest addition and Jerrie really eased my mind with regular updates and quick communication. I accidentally misbooked and needed to add an extra day, Jerrie was very accommodating. I’m pretty sure our pups had a blast. Will absolutely book again. She has a huge fully fenced yard and there was a good handful of playmates for our babies this weekend. We’re so happy with this service.”
“Pamela was great for Tupac. He came back happy and as himself, most importantly. In the past my dogs have seemed a bit off or too thirsty when I get them back from sitters, but not this time. She took him on a walk and supervised him in her back yard playing with her dog, so he got a good amount of exercise. She also sent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Pamela. I am not a very trusting person but I feel safe with her caring for my emotional support animal. She also ensures that all animals are properly vaccinated before she agrees to sit them, which I appreciate and isn’t always the case.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elma on Rover is $36.63 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 247 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elma. 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.
97% of Elma 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 Elma 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 Elma 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 Elma.
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 Elma 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.
