“Kristin was great to work with and she was very reliable and happy to have our dog in her home. She was very responsive and worked with us on any special needs for our dog. Kristin sent us pictures during the visit and kept us updated and was great about flexible drop off and pick up. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Dennis and Lynn made our first time Rover experience such a relief. Maple seemed to really enjoy her stay and we are already looking to schedule our next trip with them!”
“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!”
“Mr. Matthew was awesome with my dog while I was on vacation. He responds promptly and has great communication skills. I received pictures and updates my whole trip. Ace came home happy and full of energy.”
“Lily had a superior time with Kathy and Craig. She truly loves and understands dogs. Lily loved playing with all the dogs, and learned a few things about sharing. We have an 8 yr old cat, and they dont share much. We would recommend Kathy to anyone who wants a positive experience for their dog??”
“Molly and her husband took such sweet care of our pup. They were so relaxed and we felt like they would love piper like their own! We got lots of picture updates and we were able to meet their pups before we left ours with them for a night. Our dog came back calm ready for a nap after having lots of play time with her new friends. We are so excited to be able to leave piper with them again and we are so glad that we found a safe place for our dog to go to when we go out of town! 100% would suggest Molly and her family to others!”
“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!”
“Marisol is a wonderful caring individual who took excellent care of my dog Onyx. She went above and beyond to welcome Onyx to her home. I so appreciate her attention to detail and communication. Onyx is thrilled for his next stay with Marisol!”
“Nari was amazing with our little Hershey. She sent many pictures, which showed how comfortable he was in her home. We are so grateful for the attention Nari gave our pup while we were away!”
“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”
“We had a great vacation, but Benson's was even better. We weren't sure he'd want to come home after spending time at Lance's. <g> I've already recommended Lance to other pet owners. We especially appreciate that he only takes a few dogs at a time.”
“Carmen was absolutely awesome with our pup! She sent wonderful updates with detailed info and pictures/videos and did an especially good job enforcing good potty habits and new commands for our puppy who’s still learning. I’d highly recommend her for any sitting needs, she’s got a repeat customer in us for sure!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Taylor took great care of our French Bulldog Leo! We were away for the Christmas holidays and we received a bunch of cute photos and videos of him playing with their dogs and running in the yard! We also had an a cancelled flight and Taylor was flexible and able to extend our booking another full day which was a huge stress relief for us! We will absolutely be booking with Taylor again for a future stay!”
“My two pups had an excellent stay with Sara. She captured amazing photos of the dogs mid-play and their joy was obvious. The dogs came back to us happy, healthy, and tired.”

“We had a great experience with them! Our dog can be a bit difficult to handle at times, but they were able to care for him with patience and understanding. We really appreciate their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
.Maggie was a pleasure to work with. We made a last minute appointment, and she was extremely amenable to meeting up with us, last minute. Our dog took to her right away. She showed us around and her house and yard were clean, and most importantly, safe. Apparently he sat in her lap the majority of the time that he wasn't playing outside. Our dog has an extreme fear of us leaving him. We never get to go out because of this. He didn't cry or scream while we were gone. Yes, he's that bad!!. He felt very comfortable with Maggie, and wasn't clingy after we got home. Thank you Maggie for making him feel safe and at home. You can trust her and we will definitely use her again!!!!
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.
I am so happy I left my fur-son with Xiatong! She took excellent care of my senior boy for a week & sent multiple pictures daily to keep me informed. She even made him more chicken & rice when what I'd left ran out, which was above & beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Xiaotong if you need to travel & I'd definitely use her service again if the need arises.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Federal Way
Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
