“If I can give Iry 10 stars I would! He is phenomenal! Was available for my last minute request to watch 13- week old puppy. Iry was so welcoming and adored puppy. He gave him plenty of exercise and cuddles. Was updated frequently with the best pics! I would 110% book with Iry again!”
“Brandon & Heather did a wonderful job caring for Molly & Sully. They sent pictures and let me know how the dogs were doing. They were wonderful at letting the dogs do pretty much what they do at home--sitting on the living room furniture. I would definitely use them again.”
“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.”
“Jen was wonderful with our dogs. I was worried about leaving our 16 year old senior Shih tzu, but she was great with him. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind. We will 100% be rebooking soon!”
“Amazing!! I felt like Leslie really cared about my dog and he had a great time at Leslie’s place. Frequent update with cute pictures and videos of my dog and many play times!! Would definitely recommend Leslie with confidence :)”
“Katie and family are the perfect sitters for our two golden retrievers. They have a wonderful, open property for dogs to run and play. And they have children who love to play with the dogs. We couldn’t be happier with the love, care and attention our pups received while we were gone. We will definitely be working with Katie going forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with your four-legged family members! Thank you!”
“Lindsay and her lovely family took such great care of Merlin and Orla during our wedding weekend! We loved all the photos and felt like our pups were right at home! It lead to a worry-free weekend, as we knew our pups were well cared for!”
“We were new to using this app and a little nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our sitter was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly made our dog feel at home. They send updates and videos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were gracious enough to take him bec it was very last minute on a holiday weekend. It was obvious that our pup was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Keri is hands down the BEST. We’ve done boarding with her several times over the past two years and she is always our first choice. And I’m pretty sure our dog Lucy loves her more than she loves us sometimes! 😂 We feel so comfortable having Lucy stay with her.”
“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!”
“My dog can be a bit much at times, but Judith and her husband were very patient and caring with him. Nice to have someone reliable to watch him when I go out of town. Would definitely continue to use her again.”
“Marla is amazing ! I left my little paris with the right one 😅 she took care of my girl while she had an upset tummy also diarrhea, mind you I gave her the option to bring her back because I felt bad but she said it was fine & took such good care of her & made sure she was okay, also the communication was on point Marla never failed to keep me updated throughout the day and sent pictures ! I'll definitely be sending her back, thank you Marla 🩷”

Michelle was absolutely amazing with Smoky! I was away for four days on a work trip, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. Smoky is a high energy dog who loves being outdoors, running, and staying active, and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and care. She took him on runs, kept up with his feeding and routine, and treated him like he was her own. She was also great about communicating throughout my trip, sending pictures and regular updates so I always knew how Smoky was doing. I came home to a happy and well cared for dog, which says everything. Michelle is dependable, caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely book her again and would be more than happy to have her as Smoky’s regular sitter. Highly recommend her!
Spring and Adil are reliable, pleasant people and responsible pet owners who maintain a clean, comfortable home suitable for both small and medium-sized dogs. Their own dog is friendly and well behaved. I highly recommend them for pet stays and would feel confident entrusting a pet to their care.
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.

There are 5,813 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.

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.
