“Our pup had the best stay with Stephanie and Scotty! They were great about accommodating all of my and my husband’s requests, especially because our girl can be anxious around new environments and people. Frequent updates kept us at ease, and we look forward to booking with them again very soon!”

“Loic and Kristin send photos every day and take our two year old Schnoodle Poppy for long walks. Their kids are also great about playing with Poppy and giving her lots of love. This is our second stay with this family and I will definitely use them again. Poppy comes home happy and well exercised!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mercer Island
This was Buffy's second stay but first overnight and Elise took such wonderful care of her. Buffer adores her and I can tell that she feels very comfortable with her with how excited she was to see her again. Elise takes the extra time to be with her, giving her affection and snuggles and it makes a big difference. Appreciate the updates as well!

We had a wonderful experience with Elan! She was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it was clear that our dog was happy and well cared for. We received a daily update, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave to our pup and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter!

Cindy was fantastic with Frisko! She followed all care instructions, always replied promptly, and provided wonderful daily updates with lots of photos. It was clear she really understands dogs. Frisko has some separation anxiety and dog reactivity, and she handled everything with complete ease and care. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again!

Julie is wonderful. She was relaxed and comfortable with my dog right away which put me at ease. She took great care of my little guy and he was tired out and very happy after his first stay. Julie was very easy to communicate with and sent picture updates each day which was such a nice touch. We booked our next stay with her right away!

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 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.

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.
