“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”

“Blizzard had another great stay with Kandice and her family. He loved lounging in the yard on the sunny days and spending a rainy day inside with them. Even though he wasn't on his best behavior this time, she did a great job trying to make sure he was comfortable and happy, and kept an eye out for signs he might've been getting sick. Thanks!!”

Wow. Absolutely impressed with how Maiz took care of my senior fur baby. I have used many rover sitters over the years, and this time around, it felt especially sensitive because my baby turned 10 and needed some extra care due to Bell’s palsy and arthritis issues. Maiz sent me extra photos and videos every single day during my four-day trip to Cabo for a wedding. I just felt like she was in such great hands. Since our first meet and greet, Mystique l was super calm and comfortable when she is typically a spaz and grumbly. Maiz even had some extra toys to help mystique feel right at home. I couldn’t recommend Maiz enough!! Will definitely use him again moving forward.
Kelly did a great job caring for my pup. He came home happy and full of energy after the great outings and walks with Kelly. Kelly sent daily updates and photos of Riley. She comes across warm and a person with genuine care and excitement for pets. This was our first encounter, and I will certainly call on her again to take care of Riley.
Our dog just finished his second stay with Tianci. At drop off he was begging to get into their building and when he saw Ran, he was so excited in a way that he doesn’t get with strangers. I know that he thoroughly enjoys spending time there, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tianci again.
Lizzy went above and beyond in caring for my senior dog, Piper, while I was out of the country for several weeks. She was incredibly attentive, took detailed notes, and made sure Piper received the best possible care throughout my trip. Given Piper’s age and special needs, it meant so much to know she was in such capable and caring hands. Lizzy’s dedication, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail truly exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Piper, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
Darcy was so great with Ricky! We didn't have a single worry during the sitting. She is very prompt to respond and provided daily updates and photos of Ricky during his stay at her place. Her place is completely dog proofed and we're looking forward to booking with her again!
I had a great experience with Hojeong! She was so sweet, caring, and patient with Nobi. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I really appreciate her kindness and would definitely trust her with Nobi again. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. It gave us peace of mind knowing our furbaby was in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the love and care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. Thank you so much, Katie! 🥰❤️🐾
Keith is fantastic! He is our go-to sitter for our rescue pup, Suede. Walking a reactive dog takes patience and structure, and Keith has been amazing at keeping up with his training protocols during every walk. Highly reliable, great communicator, and someone we trust completely.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Seattle is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $93 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,879 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
92% of sitters in Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seattle. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Seattle 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
