“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter Wanqing and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitter. From very beginning, she listened to all the routines that my cat needs and takes very detailed notes. She is very quick in responding to messaging and communication. She sends me updated photos and videos of my cat everyday and make sure I have the peaceful mind, they also helped packing all his belongings when I am picking him up , they are very considerate and sweet couple. I would highly recommend them to all pet owners who look for sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Thaina who recently cared for our two dogs. It was hard to find someone who wouldn't have other dogs at the same time and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Shay is kind and a great communicator. She sent pictures every day. Lily had a great time watching the birds and squirrels in Shay’s yard. I could tell Lily felt comfortable and she had such a great time, she didn’t really even want to come home!😂”
“Boston had such a blast at Kai's place. He enjoyed the rainy walks on the trail. He literally passed out after coming home. I believe Kai's family provided such great care and attention to our furry baby while we are away. Kai is also very flexible - with our flight being cancelled, he was able to sit Boston for a few more hours with short notice.”
“Quinten was great with our dog! She is a puppy with LOTS of energy and he was able to manager all her crazy. She was so sad to leave. He provided pictures and videos of her daily and was super receptive to anything I had to say or questions I had. Will definitely book again! Thanks again Quinten”
“Odin is generously spoiled with each stay with Lisa. She always engages him with different activities and outings, and showers him with love and attention. He loves his Lisa vacations!”
“Daria did a great job with our two dogs! She sent a ton of pictures and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy! We will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“Our pup had the best time with Vivian! He came back exhausted, happy and healthy! Making plans and coordinating with Vivian was exceptionally easy, and Vivian sent me pics and videos of our pup during his stay. So nice to have someone we trust completely with our pup, and he clearly loves being with her!”
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Liz was!! Her expertise in dog behavior is obvious, her communication (both before and during our pup’s stay) was lovely, and our nervous pup was made so comfortable! It was a relief to know our pup was in such good hands for our weekend away. Thank you Liz!!!”
“Once again Milana provided such wonderful care for our dogs. They are never alone and are and are consistently taken out for walks. The daily pictures give us great comfort and the ability to have regular messages back snd forth is also terrific. We would strongly recommend Milana to our friends and anyone who needs a caring and trustworthy sitter. ”
“Theresa was great and really made us feel like our dog was in great hands while we were away. She sent us pictures and provided updates so we knew exactly how she was doing. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jeremy was awesome! He kept my pup with separation anxiety over night and was willing to sleep on the couch next to him in his crate to make him comfortable. Jeremy was very responsive and send status updates frequenty. Would certainly board with him again.”
“Dacya was absolutely fantastic with our 2 dogs! I can recommend her services without reservation and she will be our “go to” sitter from now on. Walley and Tucker miss her already!!”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”
“Cheryl took great care of Knuckles, and sent many photos and videos of her playing and having a good time with the other dogs! She was easy to get in touch with and very kind with our dog! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable sitter!”
“Ashley is amazing. She was so communicative and regularly sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. She was incredibly kind and her care for my dog helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dog behind.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Mercer Island is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mercer Island
It was our first time leaving our 9-year old Shih Tzu with Jeanne. He stayed for 12 days. She kept us updated with photos and took him on walks daily. Even though he had diarrhea the first couple of days due to stress of a new environment, she knew how to handle it. We could tell she truly loves the dogs in her care as her own. Thanks Jeanne!
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!
Miya & Basil had a lovely time with Elise & James! With both of them being senior girls now, they can be a little stubborn and slow but Elise & James cared for them wonderfully nonetheless. I received kind updates and photos of the girls while gone and couldn’t have asked for better support caring for them 😊 thank you!!!
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!
We cannot thank cindy enough! She has been watching our dog for 16 days and she is absolute magic. Right from the start, Cindy was professional, punctual, incredibly attentive and followed our routine perfectly. She sent the best updates and photos, which completely puts our minds at ease while we are away. It is so clear that they genuinely care, and our dog absolutely adores her. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind, Cindy is the person!.
Our dogs were very well looked after by Kai and his family. We got daily photographs, videos and updates including any change in behavior which Kai thought we may be worried about. He was very responsive and the dogs looked really happy with him. Highly recommended!
We are truly grateful to have found Niko! She is so kind and loving toward the kitties she watches over; going above and beyond to create an enriched environment catering to basic feline instincts. She is also extremely flexible and understanding when flights are delayed and plans change. Her communication is excellent & we love receiving pictures & videos giving us updates throughout our vacation. We cannot thank her enough!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Mercer Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Mercer Island on Rover is $50 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 6,084 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mercer Island. About 91% of Mercer Island sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
