“We are beyond grateful for Jill and Aaron for taking such amazing care of our dog Milo. From the moment we met them, we could tell how kind, patient, and genuinely loving they are with dogs. They made us feel completely at ease leaving Milo in their care. Throughout his stay, they kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed Milo was with them. They truly treated him like part of their family. Milo seemed content and that says everything. We can’t thank Jill and Aaron enough for their care, attention, and love. We would absolutely trust them with Milo again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional sitters. 💛”
“This was our first boarding experience with DeeAnna, and it exceeded our expectations, just as we anticipated given how incredible she is with doggy day care. She provided multiple daily updates with photos and exceptional care throughout their stay. Our pups love going to Deanna and did so great—enjoying daily outings, hikes, and walks, along with plenty of extra cuddles, love, and snuggles, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.”
“Olive was very well cared for by Teri. Also, Teri is a wonderful communicator, she kept me up to speed on how Olive was doing. I felt like Olive was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry about her at all (FWIW, I often worry about Olive when I am away).”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Michelle was great! I have been so hesitant to travel without our dog for so long, but finally went for it after finding Michelle on Rover. She made us feel so comfortable about leaving Dazie with her, it was such a relief. She watched our dog for 5 nights, sending us updates and pictures everyday. It was so nice to see Dazie having fun and still getting snuggles while we were away. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Michelle.”
“Thank you, John for a wonderful overnight with Rigby! John has the perfect set up with a lovely, fully fenced natural wooded area where dogs can roam and enjoy being outside safely. John is very sensitive to a dog's needs and figured out easily that Rigby needed more space to feel comfortable. John was able to handle Rigby's odd behaviors and recognized much of it is likely due to anxiety. Rigby is a rescue who we've had since October so we are still figuring him out; he's almost 12 so we are the ones likely going to be making the adjustments versus him. Thanks to John's relaxed nature, we felt comfortable entrusting Rigby with him for overnight care. John provides quick responses and thoroughly takes notes to be prepared for his sessions with his dog guests. We will be returning for more visits in the future! Thank you, John!”
“Art is a great caregiver. He even took my very energetic dog for a long hike. I can tell both of my dogs are happy under his care. I highly recommend him and his family.”
“Phenomenal Rover! Our dogs are always so excited when we pull into her driveway and we really appreciate how genuine she is in her care for our dogs and how understanding she is when there have been hiccups in our scheduled plans.”
“Kathy and family were the perfect care takers for our corgi. We received photo updates to let us know he was settling in and enjoying his visit. When we experienced travel delays due to an airplane with mechanical issues, Kathy was extremely understanding and flexible and went out of her way to continue the extended care. We appreciate Kathy and her family so much and can’t say enough good things about how she cared for our Butters!”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Britt is very professional and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. I definitely learned a thing or two from her! Her home and backyard are well maintained and very clean. I like that she only accepts small dogs and sends a daily picture update. I know Britt takes great care of Teddy when I am traveling, and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Craig was a fantastic dog sitter for our lively 8 yr old Corgi. Communication was quick, he sent us plenty of photos and overall a 10/10 experience. Will definitely use Craig again.”
“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!”
“I can’t express enough gratitude to Theresa and Leonard! They were very responsive to setting up the meet and greet, I felt really good afterwards and proceeded with booking our two dogs to stay with them for 5 days. They took care of our dogs very well, we received an update every day and a picture. They are both very kind and fully give their attention to the dog or dogs they are watching. I was looking specifically for people like them, folks that did not have any animals or kids and could focus on one client. My dogs went on walks every day, sometimes twice a day, were with them most of the time and when I picked them up the dogs were very calm and relaxed. I could tell they were very well taken care of. Theresa and Leonard truly are a gem!”
“I'm so glad I found this place. I've never left my dog with anyone before. He really doesn't like being away from us for even a few hours. I had a 3day trip this week, I left my dog Bear with Marlene all three days. Marlene and her husband are friendly, respectful and detailed in their care. They have a beautiful home with a yard. I would definitely use their service again.”
“Emily took expert care of our two dogs and were able to accommodate last minute for us due to a family emergency. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of update photos frequently. We were never worried about our dogs being in her care and her pup Olive was a great companion that made sure our dogs had a fun playmate to tire them out! I couldn’t have been happier with Emily and Kenneth boarding our dogs, 100% would recommend to a friend.”
“April was awesome! Pinky had a great time and we got pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and we were nervous, but we’re put at ease as soon as we arrived. And Pinky is now crate trained!! If we are ever in the area again, we would board with April!”
“Rachel did an awesome job with my boys, Parker and Ranger. She had them for a week. She sent me updates and pictures everyday. Went above and beyond when they went on a food strike. We will definitely be returning customers! Thank you Rachel”
“Wan was a great communicator! Our Millie seemed to have a great time with Wan's children and the other dogs that Wan was caring for. It was a great first experience and we'll definitely use her again!”
“Margaret and Michael took the best care of our dog, Penny, in their home for 10 days. It was our first time leaving Penny and they were amazing - extremely responsive from start to finish, made sure to get to know Penny and ask all the right questions in advance, sent daily photo updates, and kept us updated on how she was doing during her stay. Penny came home happy and healthy and it was clear she had a great time at their home. So thankful to have found Margaret and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Stevens
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 🙏 🙏
Krystal was absolutely amazing. I was very hesitant to go out of town because my boy has fecal incontinence issues, but she never once made me feel uncomfortable about the situation. She took care of our Midnight as if he were her own and stayed on top of his medication without any issues. Midnight didn’t even want to leave, which says a lot. Thank you so much, Krystal, for opening your home and providing such loving care. I highly recommend her as a sitter and would use her again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Stevens on Rover is $49.95 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 4,052 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 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.
90% of Lake Stevens 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 Lake Stevens 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 Lake Stevens 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 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 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.
