“Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!”

“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”

“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”

“Our dog had so much fun with Pamela. I will use her services again. Excellent care and no worries. She heard my concerns as we have a young dog and didn't know how he would interact while eating. Her report showed me she heard us and in the end, our dog had no aggressiveness toward other dogs when his food was presented. Excellent.”

“Sheena is the best! We always trust her with our dog, Jasmine- in fact I think Jasmine looks forward to us traveling so she can visit Sheena and her son Carter and get all the snuggles!”

“I left my Sheltie "Button" with Desiree for an overnight stay. The experience was excellent from start to finish. We held a meet and greet a few days before where I could see the yard and areas where Button would stay. Communication during the stay was excellent with photos/updates and I appreciated the time flexibility for drop-off and pickup. Overall a five-star experience. Highly recommended. Thanks Desiree.”

“Highly recommend: safe and secure location, outstanding communication…daily updates and photos, only takes one client at a time, aware of current canine respiratory disease…clean and isolated space, dog door provides anytime-access to fenced back yard, easily handles food and medication requirements, their own dogs are welcoming of new pack members. Highly recommend.”

“James took amazing care of our dog Arlo over an extended weekend. James sent photos and a video. We could tell that Arlo was having a great time playing and running around with the other dogs. We felt comfortable knowing he was in a safe and comfortable home setting. We will definitely use James again in the future!”


“Our chihuahua Teak had a great 3 night stay at Jamie's this month. It was the first stay and Jamie was a great and conscientious host to him. Good communication, a daily picture of Teak helped us relax about his stay. Thanks Jamie.”


“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines you’ve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!”

“Tiffany is great with Pickles and clearly LOVES dogs! He was so happy staying in her home and was so happy both times I picked him up after staying! Thank you, Tiffany, for your loving care for my dog.”


About: Pet Care Experience 🐾 I’m a dog lover and proud Westie dog mom, so caring for pets is just something that makes me happy. I have hands on experience with small breeds, including dogs with sensitive skin and allergies, and I understand how important the little details are when it comes to their routines, diet, and comfort. From daily walks to fresh meals and playtime, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and loved just like at home. What Sets Me Apart 💛 Having two Westies of my own has taught me patience, consistency, and how to balance fun with structure. I treat every dog in my care like family, paying close attention to their body language, comfort levels, and unique personalities. Whether it’s helping a shy dog feel more confident or keeping a playful pup entertained, I adapt to each dog’s needs with warmth and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel as secure and loved with me as they do with you because they deserve everything in the world! I work full time, but my schedule is flexible which means I can easily make time for drop ins, walks, or evening visits. When I’m not working, I’m a total homebody who loves spending time cooking, relaxing with my dogs, and enjoying quiet nights in. Your pets will always get my full attention and care, just like my own. 💖 I share my home with two sweet Westies who are a little shy at first but quickly warm up and love making new friends. They’re great at helping visiting dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed while away from home. I keep a camera inside the house so I can check in on everyone when I’m at work and make sure all is well. My dogs follow a consistent routine, but I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure everyone stays secure. You’re welcome to bring along anything that helps your dog feel right at home their favorite bed, toy, or blanket is always encouraged!😊
“Erica was very attentive and loving to our dog Calvin. He gets so stressed when we go out of town, which in turn causes me a lot of anxiety for leaving him. I was able to talk to Erica before our trip and ask questions, reiterate Calvin's likes and dislikes and just get a general feeling of how she would handle any situations that could potentially pop up. They got along so well that I don't think Calvin was ready to come home, HA! I received several updates throughout my trip and it was clear that she was taking care of him just as I would be. 💚”


“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”


“Ari was great! Scheduled a meet and greet but accidentally met at the park while he was caring for another pup. Buddy and all of his excitement was happy to see him even though it their first encounter. I felt comfortable and we decided to book. Ari handled everything perfectly, even a brief "sick dog" episode...I also appreciated the pic update to help set my mind at ease. I'd book with Ari again, you should too!”

“Aaron did a great job of caring for our cat for a few days. He was immediately responsive to my texts and agreed to the job at the last minute, after our prior arrangement had fallen through. Our cat really warmed to his family, and he sent us some nice pictures while we were away. I wouldn't hesitate to request Aaron's help in the future.”

Jennifer and her family were very loving to my dog. He has a hard time being away from me but I felt good knowing he was being loved on while I was gone. Jennifer had great communication and gave me updates throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend her to watch your pet :)

It was great to work with Kristin, She was flexible with our requirements, quick to respond and sent back cute pictures while we were away. Of course, our dog is cute. It was a very comfortable process and I felt like we were leaving our dog with extended family. She did very well for her first time away from us. Good to have this resource for future trips.

Yvonne took awesome care of my puppy Hazel. It was the first time we were away from her and was worried about her adjusting to a different environment. She did great and Yvonne shared pictures and videos everyday so we could see how she was doing. I would recommend Yvonne and will definitely book her again when we travel.

We’re so grateful to Scott and his family for taking such wonderful care of Benson! A big thank you to his son and his kids as well for making sure Benson got plenty of walks and attention. We really appreciate everything you all did to make his stay so comfortable and welcoming!

We appreciated how communicative Tonya was while watching our pup. She sent us lots of pictures and gave us regular updates. We knew our girl was well taken care of and having lots of fun with other animals and family members! We’ll definitely have Tonya sit our dog again!

Jo is fantastic. She is detail oriented, gentle, kind, and thoughtful in caring for my pup. She communicates concise and effectively letting me know how my pup is doing. I would rate her 10/10 and she is highly recommended. To be honest, I wish I can rate less because if she gets too popular she might not be available for me, haha...

We left our dog Buckey with Bradley for the night of the 4th of July, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He followed all the care instructions perfectly and took Buckey on an adventure to a dog park, sending us pictures that showed just how happy and comfortable Buckey was. Buckey got along really well with their dog, which was also amazing. The fact that Buckey didn’t try to escape tells us he felt safe and at ease. We highly recommend !

I’m so glad I found Leanne! I needed a last minute sitter and she was available and very accommodating. My dog requires some extra care and Leanne provided that without hesitation. I felt immediately that my dog would be safe and comfortable in her home and she was! I will definitely book with Leanne again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lacey is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lacey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Lacey 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 Lacey home-away-from-home, 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 Lacey.
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 Lacey 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 , 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 .
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.
