“Janessa was great and our pup had a fantastic time. Our dog had a bit of an allergy flare up and Janessa handled it beautifully. Molly got a lot of exercise and really enjoyed her stay. We will definitely be booking with Janessa again!”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Anping took wonderful care of our two dogs. He sent so many photos and videos, which gave us comfort on our trip. The dogs seemed to love the backyard and took plenty of walks. We would definitely bring the dogs back!”
“Xiaoshan and Xiuli did a great job boarding my dog. They took the time to make sure she got along well with the other pets in the house. They took her on walks and shared photos of her enjoying her time with them. Will definitely reach out to book them again 😊”
“Quang took wonderful care of our pup. He accommodated our short notice request for boarding and sent us lots of videos and pics of joey having fun. She even came home with a cute new bandana on. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“Xiaomeng was an excellent babysitter for Cosmo! She was friendly, attentive, and ensured he was well cared for throughout his time with her. Cosmo had a great experience playing in her lovely backyard, which provided a safe and enjoyable environment. I appreciate her professionalism and the warm approach she had with him. I would highly recommend Xiaomeng for anyone looking for reliable and caring babysitting services!”
“Andreea and her family were wonderful sitters! Our dog Sweetpea felt right at home right away. She was very well taken care of and we will definitely be booking with Andreea again. Highly recommend!”
“I left my poodle with Tim for a business trip this week and he provided an outstanding level of attention, care, and love for my sweet pup! I could tell when I picked her up that they had established a close bond and that she had a great stay. I received regular updates and photos throughout the day and felt 100% at ease during my trip. Such a relief to know my dog was in such good hands! Tim is friendly, communicates clearly, and is punctual. You will be happy you booked with Tim!”
“Ruslana was great with my anxious little girl. Ellie warmed up to her quickly which is rare. Ruslana sent regular updates and worked with me on a flexible pick up. Would definitely have Ellie stay again and highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Elan was absolutely amazing with Yoda while we were out of town for 6 days. She provided regular picture updates, and you could genuinely tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The last couple times we used traditional kennel boarding, Yoda came home very depressed and stressed. This experience was completely different. With Elan, it truly felt like he was staying with family. We came home to a happy dog, and that gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We would absolutely trust her with Yoda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups! We so appreciate the care and attention Jaime gives to providing daily updates, photos, and videos. We can travel worry-free knowing they are in good hands.”
“Our dog absolutely adores her and she sends updates and pictures throughout the day, which I love! All round just a great experience! Knowing our fur child is in good hands makes me not have to worry.”
“Daria was absolutely fantastic. Not only did she make me feel so secure by sending me pictures throughout the time I was gone, I could tell they were enjoying themselves and weren’t stressed. My dog Iggy doesn’t even like men that much and here I see Daria’s spouse giving him kisses and cuddles and Iggy was blissfully happy! You can tell how much they love pups. I am so glad I found Daria! Thank you!”
“Felt fortunate to have Milo stayed with akiko for 17 days. She constantly gave me updates and pictures. Milo has several friends to play with. That's great! Will repeat.”
“Riitta is the only one we trust to look after our precious pup when we're away. Even though we missed her, we knew she was getting the best care possible. While we're on vacation, our little one, Sophie, is also on vacation with her second family and new/old friends. Thank you, Riitta, Rudi, Benji, and Lucy for being a great friend to Sophie. We will see you again soon. :)”
“Erika was great, she was able to take care of Stella last minute due to an unexpected change in plans for our trip. She was responsive and sent pictures of her daily, which help put us at ease. Would work with her again and recommend to other.”
“My senior dog has major separation anxiety. He usually does not have his kibble while he is away from home, so I was pleasantly surprised to know that Dale ate his kibble during his stay with Eldon.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Issaquah is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Issaquah
Lola took such great care of our miniature schnauzer. She took him on many walks, did play time, and was attentive to his needs. When he was uninterested in his food, she offered some alternatives that he ended up loving. Lola also sent pictures and videos which we loved and appreciated. It’s apparent how much she loves caring for animals and treats them as her own. We are thrilled to have someone reliable that we can trust to care for our fur baby!
This was our second time booking with Anping, and we had another great experience! From the photos he sent us, Chappy looked so relaxed, happy, and comfortable. Anping also took Chappy on walks to different places, which we really appreciated! One thing that especially stood out was how thoughtful he was about putting Chappy’s raincoat on when it rained. His raincoat is actually a bit tricky to put on — you have to get all four legs in, pull it over his head, and then zip it up. We really appreciate Anping taking the extra time and effort to make sure Chappy was comfortable and well taken care of. We’re so happy to have someone we can trust with Chappy and would definitely book with Anping again!
Chomsky had a wonderful time staying with Tatyana and her son! Tatyana was great at communicating updates on Chomsky and sending photos, making sure he got lots of walks, and she was so careful to meet his needs. She was also really thoughtful about taking care of him and clearly really cares. When I picked up Chomsky, I could tell he had been happy with them, and he gets more anxious with new people now that he's older so it's harder to find folks he really clicks with. I am so glad that she lives nearby and that Chomsky will be able to stay with her again when I travel!
We took a day trip and had our shy pup stay with Zankhana and her lovely family. Throughout the time away she sent videos and pictures of our pup and put my mind at ease that she was in excellent hands. I was reassured when she let me know she even got my dog to eat and play fetch when she typically isn't very interactive with new friends. I highly recommend her and would use her services again readily!
Pam has been our go-to sitter for years with our other dog, but this was our puppy's very first stay with her—and it couldn't have gone better! Both our 7-year-old dog and 5-month-old pup had a blast playing with Pam and Loki. It’s such a relief knowing our dogs are loved and well cared for. They’re already looking forward to their next visit!
Emily is wonderful! She was so patient with my pup, who takes a few days to settle in. She sent me many photos, videos, and updates which were all very much appreciated. Gracie had the best care with her and had a friend with her sweet pup Winston. I highly recommend Emily, especially if you have a calm but sensitive dog.
Clarissa is always amazing. I’ve used her a few times and my dog absolutely loves being with her and her dogs. She treats him like her own. My dog has anxiety sometimes and I’ve never seen him get excited to stay with someone else, yet with Clarissa he gets excited and barely looks back as we leave. It’s really cute!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Issaquah is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 per night. On Rover, 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Issaquah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Issaquah 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 Issaquah.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Issaquah. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Issaquah 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
