This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter, I was really nervous about leaving them. Erin sent us pictures and daily updates! My dogs had a great time! We will not hesitate to use Erin’s services for future vacations!

Emily is awesome! She’s very knowledgeable of dogs and easy to work with. Coco was in heat for her boarding and Emily was very understanding and it wasn’t an issue for her stay.

My dog Dallas loved it there. I felt comfortable and didn't worry one time if my dog was cared for and given that extra bit of attention and loving. I was sent pictures and video to ease my mind. We had just gotten Dallas from the humane society and not only is she puppy and high energy but also somewhat skittish of new people and places. When we picked her up she seemed so at ease. Thank you all for giving our furry family member the extra she needed to feel at home away from home. We WILL be using them again and again for any animal needs. Highly recommend them to family, friends and anyone with pet related needs.

We left our goldendoodle pup with her for a few days while we were out of town and she did so well with him! He loved playing with her pup all day and Trinity made sure to keep me informed of how he was doing :) 100% recommend!

About: Hello! I'm the kind of person who gets crazy from the love of dogs, cats and other animals! As a child, was not a day that I have someone not brought home from the street, parents were shocked each time, and were not satisfied !.

Not even the kindest dogs love me because I love them! And I know how to work with them to be friends! And the owners of these dogs were shocked that I found the approach to their four-legged friend! Some time ago I got a training classes with my dog, and she is won in all dog events! She is a Beagle her name is Abby! You and your pet will staying happy after me! :) Now I also have a German Shepherd dog named Aisha! Best, kind, smartest dog forever! Also we have a bunny and chicks at their own place. Also I am a dog breeder and trainer in the past. I have knowledge about dogs social, behaviour and their health! I am currently home stay home mom with 2 years old baby. I have a much time to take care of your best friends and having a fun about other animals we have! I have a huge fenced backyard!

Gus looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We could tell he was having the best time! We’ll definitely be booking with Tony again — highly recommend!

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.

Robert is truly amazing and the whole package! My young Bull dog Roxy is full of energy and very attached to us. Robert took all of our care requests seriously. Special food needs, sleeping arrangements, play needs, daily check ins and lots of exercise were all provided with care. Robert is a dog whisperer and even provided training that I have been unable to do. His service was a true blessing’

Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!

Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.

Highly recommend. It was my first time using rover and we were hesitant on leaving our 4 month old basset with anyone, but he had a blast with her lab Marshall and we recieved picture updates daily. I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home with all the fun he was having.

We went on a family trip over Thanksgiving for 4 nights/5days, a longer getaway from our very loved family dog. Kristin was amazing at checking in, sending pics to ease my nerves of Coco’s well being. Kristin made sure Coco was well cared for and even went out of her way to make sure of Coco’s comfortably. Kristin is very knowledgeable and has a love for animals so I definitely would recommend her.

Brianna was so accommodating. So was her sweet dog Gypsy. We were very comfortable leaving Bentley with them after meeting Brianna and Gypsy and seeing how Bentley responded to them. It was obvious that Brianna took good care of Bentley and he enjoyed his stay! We would definitely use Brianna to take care of Bentley again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kelso

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kelso on Rover is $55.5 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kelso. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

100% of Kelso sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kelso landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kelso 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 Kelso.

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.

You and your Kelso 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.
