“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bethany and her family! I’m so thankful we found them to care for Ruger. They are such a loving, caring family, and it was clear that Ruger was in great hands with them. Highly recommend!”
“Whiskey Goose has a great time when he stays with Ashley and her family. They are a wonderful family who loves dogs and takes good care of them. It’s nice to have found someone I could trust with my dog while I’m away. I also appreciate the daily updates, photos and their flexibility.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Vaishali and Vaibhav watching our dog, Charlie. They were professional, caring, and attentive. Charlie was clearly very comfortable and happy—he got his walks, meals, and lots of love, just like at home. We especially appreciated the regular photo and message updates that kept us reassured while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but Vaishali and Vaibhav made it stress-free for us and for Charlie. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we travel.”
“My shiba stayed with Teri and had the best time! Teri is the dog whisperer because Sasha warmed up to her on our meet and greet (for those of you that know Shiba’s they are cat like and aloof taking their own time to warm up to others). I will always be booking early with Teri because she is so amazing that she has many people wanting her services!). Thank you Teri, for being so wonderful so I can enjoy my upcoming vacations knowing Sasha is safe and happy.💕”
“I was so nervous at first to leave our dogs with someone we didn’t know but, we LOVED Lynne!! She took such good care of our dogs. Treated them like her own. We got pics and updates everyday! Lynne is the best!!!!”
“We dropped off our 2 year old lab, Lily, and she had a blast! She came back happy and tuckered out which was really nice after our long day of driving. My husband and I will definitely be doing this again and highly recommend.”
“Jill and Aaron were amazingly attentive and kind sitters for our senior Pomeranian with a special diet and medication. They answered any questions we had, and were happy to listen to any info that would help them to better understand our dog’s old-man quirks. They have a great place for dogs to hang and relax, we would highly recommend using their services!”
“Wonderful wonderful family! Kristen and her family took such good care of our dogs while we were away. It sounds like our dogs fit right in with the family and they came home tired from all the walks and love. We'll definitely bring them back in the future!”
“Kelsey was INCREDIBLE with my puppers. She was sure to make sure that we had a meet and greet first to ensure that she knew and was a good fit for him before the actual boarding. When I came back to get my dog, they were the best of friends!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“This is my first time using Rover.com and having Art B. dog sit my dog and I cannot say enough nice things about Art B. He watched my dog over the holiday season and took wonderful care of my dog. I received multiple updates and pictures during my dog's stay. It was great to be able to see that my dog was well taken care of while away. Art is a very kind and animal loving person who treated my dog like an extended family member. I highly recommend Art for all of your doggie boarding needs. I will be using Art again whenever I need to board my dog.”
“Butters had a great time with Christel and her family. She was a pretty nervous pup at first but Christel took the time to get her acclimated and comfortable with everyone and then made sure we had plenty of pics and updates to put our minds at ease. Will definitely be rebooking :)”
“Nina loved being in Katie's care. She was comfortable and happy. Nina is a rather wary and not very sociable Pomeranian, but she had an excellent stay. Katie kept us informed the entire time, sending photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”
“Mary was amazing She is very communicative, shared a lot of pictures and updates. My girl was clearly very comfortable and came home and crashed out. Highly recommend!”
“Tammy was great! This was our first time leaving our new puppy with a sitter. We were nervous as she timid, reactive and has not had a lot of exposure to the world. On top of that she has a very sensitive stomach. It takes very little ( new treats, food, or stress) to cause her to have diarrhea. Tammy knew how to introduce Chelsea to her dogs with minimal reactions and drama. Chelsea got to spend a week playing with other dogs and adapted well to the pack. Best of all no diarrhea! Thank you Tammy for a great experience.”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“Jeremy was wonderful. He took great care of Maisie. He went above and beyond to make her comfortable in his home with his family and other pets. Excellent communication and lots of pictures.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lake Stevens is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Stevens
Lanuola did an incredible job taking care of my bulldogs. This was my first time using Rover and couldn't be happier about the experience. She sent pictures throughout the day so I knew the dogs were being taken care of and loved. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much Lanuola for loving my dogs like they were your own!!
We were first time Rover users and needed a fairly last minute booking, so we’re really glad we found Tram! She was responsive, reliable, and made the whole experience very easy. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Doodle was in good hands and well cared for while we were away. He seemed to have a great time too(hopefully he behaved himself!) 😊 We’d definitely be happy to book with Tram again.
Currin was a great sitter! Louie really enjoyed being at their home. Their dogs were so sweet and friendly to my dog as well! They always sent me photos and let me know how Louie was doing the whole time we were gone. They were also very understanding and were so easy to work with and communicate with. Would absolutely book again and recommend to everyone !
Robin and her family are fabulous. My girl, Sylvi Bell, is an itty bitty tini tiny little 90lb baby, and.... she can be needy at times. Robin was communicative, sent great photos, and ultimately, provided exactly the safe steadfast care my best friend and I needed during my travel. She had fun, and I had a reparative experience in learning great doggo sitters do exist!
Travis was amazing! We had to leave very last minute for a family emergency. He got back to me right away and made our pup feel at home! When we came to pick her up she looked so excited and relaxed. It was so nice to know she was well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks again!
I had a wonderful experience with Candice taking care of our senior pup! She is very communicative, sent lots of picture updates, and is such a pleasant sitter to work with. Candice is very experienced and knowledgeable and we could tell our dog was well loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her pet boarding services, you will not be disappointed! Thank you 🙏 🙏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Stevens is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $75 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 4,038 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Stevens. 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.
92% of sitters in Lake Stevens 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 Lake Stevens 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 Lake Stevens.
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 Lake Stevens 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.
