“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we booked with her, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent thoughtful, sweet updates throughout the stay — photos and little messages about the activities our dog was enjoying — which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out is how content and relaxed our dog was when she came home. This has never happened after stays at other facilities, where she would return stressed or unsettled. With Linda, she came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We hope that we get to book with you again in the future. Thank you, Linda!”
“In my first experience with Rover, I recently boarded my ten-year-old cat with Maggie. She was a marvelous host, going to great lengths to provide a comfortable, caring environment for my little buddy. Maggie has a genuine love of animals, and truly understands cats. I look forward to boarding with Maggie again in the future.”
“Dennis and Lynn took such excellent care of our bulldog! They sent us updates each day during his stay and he always appeared to be happy, engaged in play and even sometimes zoomies, which means he was very much at home with them. Our family deeply appreciates the kind of care they provided. Thank you guys!”
“Jordin was so awesome she kept me up to date and sent pictures on a daily this was my first time doing something like this I was nervous and scared. But jordin had reassured me greatly I will definitely be back for future bookings with her ! ❤️”
“Betty and David are wonderful sitters! They always provide my dog the best care and attention and provide so many updates! If I could use them all the time, I would!”
“This was our second time having Matthew look after our dog and we couldn't have been happier with the level of care and affection provided, and his timely updates. More importantly, we appreciate his flexibility to look after our dog much longer than anticipated due to travel delays. We had one less thing to worry about, knowing he was in good hands. We will not hesitate to use Matthew again for our future needs.”
“Dane watched Beau for an extended 9 day trip we took. He was communicative and sent photos of Beau having fun with other dogs. He was also very flexible with pickup times and allowed us to pick up Beau late.”
“She was absolutely wonderful with our little picky boy! 🐶❤️ She made him feel comfortable, safe, and turned the whole experience into so much fun—especially getting to play with her dogs. She even took him out for a walk, which I wasn’t expecting but genuinely appreciated. Seeing his little tail wagging as he happily went to her was the best reassurance that he felt comfortable and loved. 🥹 She kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for how caring and attentive she was with him. We would absolutely trust her with our little guy again!”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Wow, Sara was awesome. Crosby, our beagle, came back tired and happy just like she promised. This was our first time leaving him with someone and of course we were a bit nervous. Sara's communication was exceptional and she went well above and beyond in her care of our pup. She provided photos and videos to show us that he was doing ok. We really appreciated that. You won't be sorry you chose Sara to watch your pup.”
“Marisol and her husband, Rob, are fantastic! They just watched our pup, Onyx, for a week while we took a cruise. Onyx is always thrilled to visit their pup Milo and literally drags me to the front door when we arrive. I cannot say enough good things about Marisol. She is the best!”
“Michelle and Sam are WONDERFUL!! Our dog Cookie is always SO excited to see them and to be with their dogs as well. Loving, wonderful, kind, AMAZING! Thank you both.”
“Marla is awesome! She did a fantastic job caring for my pup and sent me lots of updates while I was away. She was so kind to take my dog in at the very last minute. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“They were so kind and flexible with pick up/drop off times due to flight delays. They sent cute pictures and updates every day so I knew my pups were happy and safe. 10/10 will be booking future stays with them!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing with Smoky! I was away for four days on a work trip, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. Smoky is a high energy dog who loves being outdoors, running, and staying active, and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and care. She took him on runs, kept up with his feeding and routine, and treated him like he was her own. She was also great about communicating throughout my trip, sending pictures and regular updates so I always knew how Smoky was doing. I came home to a happy and well cared for dog, which says everything. Michelle is dependable, caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely book her again and would be more than happy to have her as Smoky’s regular sitter. Highly recommend her!”
“Rikke was awesome!! Owen and Wilson enjoyed staying with Rikke and her family. Pictures everyday of their adventures and walks. The boys were definitely happy and loved their stay!!!!”

Another great stay 🤗 We always feel so comfortable leaving Mylo with them because we know he’s in good hands. We really appreciate all the updates and photos during his stay, it gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. Mylo always seems happy and well cared for when we pick him up. We’ll definitely be booking again! ❤️
Linda was amazing! We left our dog for a whole two weeks and we felt very comfortable doing so after meeting her. She suggested we meet beforehand so our dog could be acquainted which actually made me feel better so he didn’t feel like he was being left with a stranger. He automatically looked so comfortable with her! She sent me update pics pretty much everyday and he looked very happy. I get nervous with my dog as he can have a little bit of an attitude but sounds like she understood all different types of behaviors in dogs, so that was relieving. I am definitely booking either Linda in the future!
Michelle was absolutely amazing with Luna! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dog. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible throughout Luna’s stay. She made sure Luna was taken outside regularly for walks, gave her food and medication on time, and most importantly, gave her so much love and attention. Luna came back so happy and comfortable, and it was clear to me that she had been very well taken care of. Michelle also kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Michelle with Luna again in the future, without hesitation. In fact, she will be one of the first people I contact whenever I need someone to care for Luna. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved pet. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that your dog is in caring, loving, and responsible hands. Thank you so much, Michelle, for taking such wonderful care of my little Luna! ❤️🐶
Spring and Adil are reliable, pleasant people and responsible pet owners who maintain a clean, comfortable home suitable for both small and medium-sized dogs. Their own dog is friendly and well behaved. I highly recommend them for pet stays and would feel confident entrusting a pet to their care.
This is our second time having Rachel sit with Luna and it was great knowing Luna was in good hands while we were away. Luna got excellent attention and care and even some extra long walks. I got tons of photos and updates as well which always puts me at ease! Thanks again Rachel! ♥️
All wonderful things to say about Maggie! We had a great meet and greet and got to meet her awesome fur babies and super cozy home. She sent so many pictures of Milo throughout his stay. He didn’t even look like he wanted to come back to us haha! She’s probably the only person who can take care of my baby just like I do.
Alex and her lab are fantastic with my pup. She has a dog that my pup loved to play with in the large yard and a young child that my dog enjoyed splashing in a pool with! Alex is quick to communicate and easy to work with, very responsible with instructions and items sent- like a special harness and food timing. Thanks Alex!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Federal Way
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Federal Way on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,622 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Federal Way. 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.
91% of Federal Way 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 Federal Way 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 Federal Way 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 Federal Way.
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 Federal Way 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.
