“We couldn't be happier with the care Brett provided for our Goldendoodle, Miles! Brett did an awesome job, and his home is the perfect setup for dog sitting. Miles absolutely loved playing with Brett’s two Golden Retrievers—it was like a built-in vacation for him. We felt completely at ease knowing Miles was safe, happy, and having a blast. We will definitely be booking with Brett again!”

“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.”

“Judith and her husband were very welcoming and super flexible. My flight came in late and I wasn’t able to come until after 9pm which I know for most people is late. Overall Cisco looked so happy and looked like he had some friends that were going to miss him. This will definitely be his 2nd home when I have to go out of town again.”

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.

“Keri M was so great! My dog is nervous and shy around new people, and Keri was very patient with her until she started opening up to her. I was also nervous since this was the first time my dog was cared for by anyone except close family. Keri M kept in communication with me during my dog's stay, sending pictures and videos daily, and she was prompt to respond to my inquiries as well. She went out of her way to make sure my dog was comfortable, even letting her sleep in the bed with her which my dog is used to at home. I will book with Keri M again, and I definitely recommend Keri M to anyone who wants their dog to have a great time and be well-cared for during their stay.”

He even gave her the allergy meds she needed. He kept in constant contact while we were away so we knew how she was doing while we were gone. Will certainly be back the next time we go out of town. Thank you so much Gino!”

“I felt very at ease leaving my dog Agnes with Shannon. She has a lot of experience with dogs and Agnes liked her immediately. Her two dogs are very sweet and were great playmates to Agnes. She also gave me frequent updates on my pup, which I really appreciated because this was the first time I've been away from my puppy for that length of time. My dog is very energetic and she was able to handle her well. I would definitely ask her to sit for me again!”

Linda took amazing care of our dog for 7 days! We loved the daily photos and videos and updates and knew Bean was safe and lovingly cared for. He has anxiety with strangers and new dogs and she was extra considerate of his feelings and made sure he was comfortable at all times. Linda is an experienced dog owner and someone who truly loves animals. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because we knew Bean would be loved! Thank you Linda!!

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! ❤️🐶

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.

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!

Most bookings cost between $34 and $99 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 5,812 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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.
