“Still an awesome sitting experience, I love that he's getting socialized with other dogs and animals. We did send him with 4 days worth of food for 2 days and when we received the containers back, they were completely empty. He also came back a little obese so we think he was overfed a little bit.”
“Jen took very good care of our beloved Aussie while we were out of town for 5 days. She always kept me up to date with adorable photos and regular updates, which was very reassuring. Our dog loved having the backyard to roam & regular walks. I highly recommend Jen!”
“Molly was wonderful throughout our pup’s six-day boarding stay. Our 10-year-old pup has several health ailments and Molly was incredibly attentive to her needs and overall well-being. The daily photos and updates kept us completely at ease during our vacation. We highly recommend Molly!”
“Cindy was wonderful and I thought the process went smoothly. She is really nice and was communitive about how Chino was doing throughout the weekend. Thanks for the reassurance and the flexibility to do a pre meet up. I would definitely use Cindy again for future boarding!”
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for tbe summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!
“Mabel got along with her dog really well! I picked her up and she was tired from playing, no behavioral issues. Alyssa was a pleasure to work with & took great care of my baby.”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“First, logistically Samantha was awesome. She got us in last minute and was tolerant/patient as our return was delayed a few hours. For the actual dog portion, even better. Our _slightly_ neurotic dog seemed to have a great time and the pictures sent throughout the stay were so cute and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip(s).”
“Ilse and her family were amazing caregivers for our dog. We highly recommend. Communication and care could not be better. River was happy and well cared for. Regular walks, cuddles, and attention. Pictures, videos and updates daily made us very comfortable with his stay. Thank You for caring for him as your own.”
“Brandon is always great with Finn, and I’m not sure which of the two are more excited for the visit. Fantastic with communication and considerate of the time zones and my strange work schedules when I’m away for updates.”
“Booking was easy, communication was simple. It was wonderful getting updates about how my pup was doing while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Doreen is the best! She takes wonderful care of my Shiba Inu while we are away. She sends, videos, pictures, and text messages throughout the day to let us know how he is doing.”
“Gino has provided recurring daycare and boarding for Bo, my mini bernedoodle, for the last two years. Gino’s home is like a second home to Bo. Bo is excited to see Gino every visit. Gino takes excellent care of Bo and communicate regularly. I highly recommend Gino and will continue to use his services thank you Gino for caring for Bo as I would.”
“Diahann is great! This was our two dogs first time with a sitter and they did really good. Diahann was very communicative, sending updates with photos every day. I think anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Thanks you Diahann!”
“Erin (and family 😊) were wonderful with Hazel. She can be a high energy greeter and the meet and greeent well. You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”
“Lindsey and her beautiful family took such great care of our pup for a few days! We loved the pics and updates while we were away, we can’t wait to book with Lindsey again.”
“Leonard really enjoyed his time with Harlie. She has the patience needed for a young dog (14 months) and went above and beyond by providing daily interaction with us as well as pictures. We will DEFINITELY be using Harlie again! Thanks for everything Harlie.”

Jodi provided the best boarding care to our kitty for over a week - Thank you! It was Theo's first-time "away from home" and we were concerned, not knowing how he would respond. Jodi provided us with regular updates and photos during our time away which was so very appreciated. The excellent care Theo received from Jodi allowed us to be totally relaxed and really enjoy our vacation without worrying about our precious pet. Jodi's cattery set-up is far superior to any facility available thru a vet - and she's extremely knowledgeable about feline behavior and so insightful. We'll definitely be using Jodi again for kitty boarding services!
.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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Federal Way on Rover is $73.83 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,829 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Federal Way. About 91% of Federal Way sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
