“Keana was a life saver this weekend and she and Milo just clicked. I was nervous about their interaction since it was the first time meeting but milo was a good boy per usual. We will definitely see her again ❤️”
“Marisol is AMAZING! We loved the attention she gave to our lovely Simba. He enjoyed every minute and so much fun playing with Twinkie. Her high communication is remarkable and keeps those memories flowing with pics-thank you! I would highly recommend Marisol and trust your furry friend will be well taken care off.”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“Our experience with Katie and her family was nothing short of incredible. From the meet and greet where Katie listened to all the things that make Wrigley, Wrigley, to sharing what we could expect for him while in her care, to the drop off where they helped ease the goodbye (Wrigs has short-term separation anxiety), to the photos and texts during his stay, to the pickup where Wrigley clearly demonstrated that he was settled and comfortable (it took him a minute for him to even realize I was calling his name b/c he was engaging with Katie), we couldn't have asked for more. They adapted to Wrigley's needs and welcomed him right in. Wrigley came home happy (and wiped out) from his 4 day playdate, and we know where we'll try and send him whenever we need to know that he's getting the same kind of care and love we give him at home. Thank you, Katie and family!”
“Elizabeth, Paul, and their family welcomed my dog into their home. They were exceptional with communications prior to, and during my dog's stay with them. They were attentive and made sure my pup felt safe and happy. It was also great that they have two dogs of their own that kept mine company. I would definitely recommend them to others, and I will look to them first for any other dog care needs I have. Thank you again for looking after my pup!”
“This is my second go around with Leslie she’s kind and prompt and you can tell she really loved what’s she’s doing. The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby. My lala loves going over there and her space is clean and open and wants you to feel the most comfortable always. I’m a forever customer ♥️”
“Rikke and Larry were the best. We were on an 11 day vacation and felt comfortable leaving our 18 month Shiba with them. It was so nice receiving text messages and photos each day. I highly recommend Rikke and Larry...they are awesome!”
“This was our two large breed dogs first stay with Odalys. We went out of town for 6 night cruise and were inaccessible most of the time, but thankfully everything went great! I really appreciated all the updates and communication. I highly recommend her services! Thanks again Odalys!😊”
“Maria is my go to. I can't speak highly enough of how great she is, how much my dog loves her, and how sad he is to leave the friends he makes. I am a repeat customer for good reasons.”
“I'm grateful that Linda answered my last-minute request for two drop-in visits. She kept me informed with multiple texts, sent nice pictures, and said she'd love caring for my two little dogs again. Highly recommended.”
“Andrea is the perfect pet sitter! She sent us updates and provided photos and videos every day. She really connected with our Maltipoo and adhered to our schedule giving him a seamless transition to a new environment. I will definitely book her excellent service again and so should you!”
“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!!!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best sitters we’ve ever had!! Xiatotong was communicative and so loving to our two boys. They got lots of walks and time in the yard and even some tasty treats in their food. We loved knowing the boys were on their own vacation while we were away!!”
“Francena’s Doggy Disneyworld is a literal oasis for your small breed dog 🐾💕 They have the perfect set up outside and inside for pups to live their best life!! I think my little Poppy might miss it more than I’d like!”
“Gino is kind, patient and the absolute best! We are so grateful for the referral to him from another pitbull owner and we will continue to utilize his services whenever we go out of town! He sent us daily pictures and updates as well to ensure that we knew out puppy was in good hands! Don’t pass this guy up he’s truly amazing!”
“From the moment we booked with Noelle we felt confident that our boy would be in very good care. Noelle exceeded all our expections, she is beyond amazing!!! We would get daily updates and photos. Jack got daily walks and play time with her sweet dogs. We will definitely be using Noelle's services in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
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!
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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Federal Way on Rover is $75 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 5,643 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.
