“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”
“Maggie is amazing! She took very good care of my senior dog and kept up with his medications perfectly! She also sent me adorable pictures each day she had him. Would highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”
“Thanks again for taking Tucker that extra night and for the daily updates and a happy tired pup when we picked him up. It's so nice to know he's in a happy place with people who enjoy having him when we're away.”
“Matthew was phenomenal! Communicative, kind, reliable, and most importantly very sweet with my dog. Would recommend and plan to use him for future bookings. Thank you so much!”
“David and Betty are the absolute best. They are devoted to keeping Kirby’s schedule of meds, food, enrichment, exercise and bedtime. They love him like he is their baby and we always entrust that he is in the best hands. They send multiple updates per day which always makes me feel less anxious about being away from him. They are the best!”
“My anxious pup Ginger had the best time with Marisol and Twinkie. I was so happy to see how much Ginger enjoyed herself. Marisol is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond to ensure your dog gets all they need while you are away. I am so grateful for her loving kindness and I will book again for sure.”
“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!”
“Codi did a meet n greet with Lance and we knew he would feel right at home for his over night stay. Lance is beyond attentive to Codi and didn’t skip a beat to make Codi feel welcome and comfortable. His home is extremely welcoming and well maintained. We had no concerns whatsoever of his property and neighborhood. Lance provided plenty of updates and pictures. We would book again with Lance!!”
“Can’t recommend more. Our dog is so happy to stay there! Whether it’s for the day or multiple days, he’s always so happy. Big bonus, we get the best pictures of our happy happy dog”
“Absolutely a great experience. My dog definitely enjoyed every second being there. I love that they have two cute and friendly dogs that my boy can play with. Xiaotong is very responsive and she sent lot of photo update about my baby. I can tell she loves dogs and really cares about them!”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with your dog, and they exceeded expectations. I would happily book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care.”
“Carmen went above and beyond while watching our dog, Honey! From regular updates to genuinely thoughtful care, we felt completely at ease the entire time. I was very appreciative of all the photos and videos she sent! Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! :)”
“Taylor was amazing from start to finish! She provided timely updates and photos of my dog and he looked like he was enjoying every moment in her home while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter you will not be disappointed.”

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!
Monica was a delight to work with. She constantly kept us informed about how Luna was doing and sent us daily photos of how Luna was fitting in to the daily routine there. We were informed of the frequent walks and to her overall wellness and comfort. Thank you Monica for making our trip so worry free.
Judith was great. She and her husband really care for dogs and it shows with how they cared for our dog. She provided daily updates on how our dog was acclimating to her new environment and with the other dogs in her care. The large backyard and doggie door were a huge plus since we knew our little girl loves to go outside a lot and run. We won’t hesitate to book again.
Coguie will miss her favorite sitter auntie Rachel and Chris. As always, this last stay of Coguie with Rachel before our move was a pleasant one and full of care and love to our princess. If you need to be away from your fur baby for a couple of days, I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter. You will be at peace knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of and spoiled.
Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.
Ari and his wife Linda were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. They were very communicative throughout the stay and regularly sent photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their two dogs helped ours feel comfortable and at home right away, and it was clear our dogs felt safe around Ari, his family, and the other dogs. We really appreciated how responsible Ari was in suggesting a trial run before we left our dogs for a couple of weeks—it showed how thoughtful and experienced he is. He also has a great yard where the dogs can run around and play. We’re so happy to have found Ari and Linda and feel confident knowing we have someone we trust to look after our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Federal Way on Rover is $75.11 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 5,652 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.
