“Jen is so great! Our dogs loved boarding with her. She has a nice shaded backyard which is great for play time. She carefully follows care instructions and sends pictures and updates throughout the stay. She’s also very responsive! Our family was at ease knowing they were safe and loved in her care. It can be scary leaving your pets, but Jen was amazing and made the process a lot easier and smoother. We have 2 male huskies, and we had a hard time finding care for them before as many refuse to care due to the breed. So we are incredibly lucky to have found Jen and will for sure book with her in the future.”
“Truly amazing!!! He went above and beyond to help me out and I will be forever grateful! I had a dog I saved while in Mexico who was hit by a car and needed her sent up to the states when she was healthy. I sent him a message of my predicament as I could get her a flight into Seattle(I live in Southern Oregon) and he stepped up and helped me get her from the airport and kept her a couple days before I could make the long drive! I received lots of updates and pictures and knew I made the right choice! He treated her like his own, taking her for walks and spoiling her rotten! I wish I lived closer because I would use him repeatedly to watch my babies!!!”
“We were new to Rover. I was looking for a dog family that would spoil our pups! Brandon and Heather squashed all my anxiety about dog sitting. They welcomed us and communicated clearly, sent pictures, and made us feel at peace with our decision. Definitely will be using again- highly recommend.”
“J & J were amazing! They treated Theo as he was their own dog, lots of love and endless snuggles. We got daily photos and updates and they were very flexible with pick up and drop off. So good, we booked again immediately upon pick up! Thanks again!”
“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!”
“Keri was lovely to meet and so helpful and easy to work with when scheduling and arranging my dog sitting needs! She took great care of both of my dogs and sent awesome daily updates!”
“Priscilla did a great job watching Noodle! We got pictures every day and it looked like Noodle had tons of fun in the big yard! She also got to run around and play with the other pups!”
“Great boarding experience with Molly. She was friendly, responsive, and flexible. She took amazing care of Rusty and kept me smiling with updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her for future boarding!”
“Marla is amazing! I received videos, photos and updates everyday. She responded quickly and took great care of my dog. My dog left very happy and had a good stay.”
“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.”
“Esther is the best! Our pup always has a blast playing with the other dogs and loves being part of the pack. He comes home happy, healthy and well-exercised every time.”
“Cyndi watched our dog, who is very high energy, and took all of his mischief in stride. She was understanding when we had to push pickup time back, and gave us updates every day we were gone. Thanks Cyndi!”
“Our dog Penny always has so much fun at Mrs. Katie's house. She loves playing with their dog Blue and snuggling, relaxing later. It's her fun vacation home away from home.”
“Michelle was great with our Lab. She took diligent care of Barley, took her on walks, trips to the park for fetch, and even a run. She was extremely responsive and shared updates daily. Will certainly book with Michelle again!”
“Leslie was truly amazing! Her communication was thorough before the weekend, and kept us updated through the weekend with videos and photos. She will be our first connection the next time we need a sitter. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our Ellie, Leslie. You are wonderful!”
“Highly recommend John H! He took fantastic care of my pup and kept me updated with regular photos. My Phoebe returned home a very happy, calm, and well-rested dog. Reliable, professional, and excellent at communication—I’ll definitely be hiring John again.”

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! ❤️🐶
Linda was absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we booked with her, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent thoughtful, sweet updates throughout the stay — photos and little messages about the activities our dog was enjoying — which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out is how content and relaxed our dog was when she came home. This has never happened after stays at other facilities, where she would return stressed or unsettled. With Linda, she came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We hope that we get to book with you again in the future. Thank you, Linda!
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.
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Federal Way on Rover is $75.25 per night (as of September 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 5,792 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.
