“Kim was awesome!! She took great care of Jasmine and sent me pictures daily & was in constant communication. I could tell Jasmine was having a great time and getting a lot of love.”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Deidre is the best! She took care of our two very energetic dogs for four days and it went great! Deidre is an excellent communicator and a wonderful dog whisperer. We’ll definitely be asking for her to care for the dogs again.”
“Our sitter Jan was marvelously accommodating!! Not only was she welcoming and considerate of all our dogs needs but was a genuinely sweet person. I could not recommend her more. Thank you Rover but mostly Jan!”
“We could not have found a better person to trust our pup with! Teri has thought of everything to ensure a safe, comfortable and fun stay for the dogs she cares for. This was the first time boarding our rescue dog, and she can’t wait to go back! Lots of pictures and updates to put your mind at ease.”
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”
“It was our first time using Rover! Sheena was super kind & helpful with the process … she made sure her doggies would get along with Kuzco before we even booked anything! Thankfully, the 3 of them ended up playing well together at the doggie park & it solidified our decision to board him for two weeks with her family :) Kuzco came back to us super healthy and happy from his stay with Sheena! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a great experience & we would definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time to leave Datu at a private residence for care. He was thrilled but he also was not used to being away from us and yet despite his anxiety, Sheri and Bill were most kind and patient with Datu - We attended a funeral that was out of state and our minds were at ease that though Datu was a bit anxious that he was well loved and cared for as we saw many videos of him throughout his stay with them that reflected he was doing well. Beyond blessed and thankful for this couple -”
About: While I may be new to professional pet sitting, my husband and I have been dog owners for nearly 10 years, and our kids have grown up loving and caring for animals, so having pets around is a normal part of our family life. Caring for our own dog has given us a lot of hands-on experience with special dietary needs, administering medication, daily walks, and basic grooming. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet, and we will treat every pet in our care like they’re part of our own family. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 3 kids, so we’re home quite a bit! Daily walks are already part of our normal routine, and we’ll be happy to include your pup. There will also be plenty of time for play, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. The longest we typically leave the house is about 3–4 hours, and that’s no more than twice a week. We have a fenced backyard. It is on the smaller side, but there is still plenty of room for a little play and fresh air. We also have baby gates in place to keep our toddler safely in areas where we can supervise him, and those will also be used to help keep pets safely separated when needed. We want every pet in our care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with us.
“Nicole & Cody go above and beyond! Our pup is always excited to see them and has a blast while in their care. They're super responsive and regularly send the cutest photos.”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“Nancy managed my Sammi's separation anxiety with calm compassion and gentle patience - and after a long first night, Sammi settled in and was clearly calm and relaxed when I picked her up 5 days later!! Nancy sent me pictures and kept in touch also alleviating my separation anxiety as well :-) I can't say enough nice things about Nancy's care. She treated Sammi like family and I know now I have another home for Sammi to stay when I travel!”
“Marlene was excellent with our dog Annie. She sent us Annie's pictures every day, which we loved receiving. Annie seemed to enjoy herself. We will use her again next time we go on a vacation! Thank you, Marlene, for taking such good care of our Annie!”
“I was a last minute booking and Chelsea made it happen! My cat was a little stressed from the transition into a new space, but Chelsea was patient and updated me with photos. Would book again!”
“Ali and her family take wonderful care of my senior dog, and they treat her like part of the family. She loves Ali's dog, who is a sweet companion. I never worry when my dog is with Ali. Communication is great, and I highly recommend her.”
“We are repeat customers of Melodie - she takes such great care of our beagle Milo. He always has a fun time there and is excited to stay. If you’re looking for a high quality, caring and loving sitter then we would highly recommend Melodie!”
“Meghan is fantastic. Her calm presence and willingness to allow our anxious dogs to warm up to her and her space at their own pace made for an excellent match and they both fully relax and feel at home in her welcoming dog friendly home. We will definitely be using Meghan again, in fact we have already rebooked with her and highly recommend Meghan.”
“Mila was so sweet to my senior pup Charlie! This was my first time boarding him with anyone. We FaceTimed before hand which reassured me that Charlie was in good hands, she took notes regarding special routine things he needed and while on my trip Mila sent photo updates that put my mind at ease. Charlie was loved and well taken care of, going to Milas made him feel like a part of the family ! We’ve pre booked with her again and I know Charlie is looking forward to it !”
“Nancy and her husband were amazing with my dogs, Rio and Nala! They took them on walks, went on hikes, relaxed with them, and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt completely at ease leaving my pups in their care, they treated them like their own. They even gave them a bath, which I’m so grateful for! Thank you both so much. I’ll definitely be booking again the next time I go on vacation!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Port Townsend is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $94 per night.

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.
95% of sitters in Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend 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 Port Townsend.
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 Port Townsend 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.
