“My dogs had a wonderful time at McKenna's house! They got along great with Jaxx, and I could tell how happy they were from McKenna’s daily updates. Both of my dogs are seniors who need extra care and medication, and McKenna took good care of them. She was easy to communicate with and always attentive to their needs. Highly recommend!”
“Liz took amazing care of our Labrador Tyson for a week! She was incredibly thoughtful and made every accommodation we could ask for and then some. She was so kind in her communications and sent a ton of photos while we were away. Tyson came home happy and healthy! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“David watched our 4 month old puppy for 3 nights, her first time away and took incredible care. He is super knowledgeable in how to make puppies feel comfortable when their away from home. He sent very frequent updates and went above and beyond to make both me and our pup feel comfortable.”

“Rigby LOVES going to visit Milana and her son Oleg - she clearly loves them both and is always happy to see them again. We can't imagine leaving her with anyone else!”
“Laila took AMAZING care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Our dog had some digestive issues a few hours after we left him with Laila and we were extremely worried. Laila took him to the emergency vet and everything ended up being okay. She kept us very well-updated with photos and videos as well as calling us to talk to the emergency vet. I’m so grateful that our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Laila again and highly recommend her to anyone out there who is looking for a sitter. We would give her 10 stars if we could!”

While our puppy was in Shon's care, we received daily photos and updates. We picked up our puppy and he was washed and happy. We will definitely be back!”

Thanks always for taking such great care of Buffy! She is getting so used to you and I got such a kick out of how unphased she was when we dropped her off. I'm sure she also appreciated all of the snuggle time especially with the loud motorcycles. She'll be ready for the bigger trip.
Sophia and Bryan took great care of our little guy and affordable. We felt that he was very safe and well cared for. I like that they only take one pup at a time. Our pup got along great with their cat and they would lay around and nap together. They sent us pictures and updates so we knew he was in good hands. Will definitely use them again!
Jenna did a wonderful job watching Pico for a few days! She was very responsive while watching him and constantly gave us picture and videos. Jenna was able to watch him on short notice and even took special care of his post-op needs. Pico also had a lot of fun playing with Jenna’s pup, Orca!
Another good stay for our rescue dog with Elan at her home. Elan kept us posted on how he was doing during the stay and sent pictures regularly. She promptly responded to questions. She clearly likes dogs! ... and is calm and reassuring with them. Her home has a nice, fenced yard with lots of variation in texture. Will plan to work with her in the future when we need to travel without our pet.
We always feel so at peace leaving our family pup w/ Todd, Honey, and the rest of their loving family! Todd is a true dog whisperer! I appreciate how he listens to our own rules for pup, follows them, and then builds on them. Our pup comes home completely happy, tired, and I can tell, missing pal Honey in days after.
Eva was absolutely wonderful—I am still pinching myself that we found her! It felt like the happiest and safest environment for our little senior dachshund. He definitely has his quirks, and Eva was so caring and kind in her care for him. She checked in regularly and was an absolute joy to work with—would absolutely recommend her to all!
My 1 year old cavapoo stayed with Oksana for 2.5 weeks while I was out of the country. Oksana was the perfect match. She is very kind, professional and communicated daily. Her home was immaculate, too. Laila looked so happy in the photoss and was not anxious at all when I picked her up. She looked at me like “ I can stay here longer!” She was very well taken care of. I will defintely plan on using Oksana again!
My Labradoodle stayed with Olivia while I was out of town for a long weekend! Olivia was great! She was super responsive and went above and beyond to take great care of my dog. She sent me daily recaps with pictures and videos, my dog looked like she was having the best time! I would recommend Olivia to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mercer Island on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,867 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mercer Island. 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.
91% of Mercer Island 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 Mercer Island 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 Mercer Island 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 Mercer Island.
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 Mercer Island 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.
