Celeste was incredibly friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. She was patient with my anxious dog and made sure to create a comfortable environment for her for the weekend. I plan to work with her for any boarding needs in the future!

Our little guy, Johnny is very anxious and does not like it when we are gone. However, when we leave him with Brantley he knows he is in good hands. I appreciate how Brantley sends us pictures of Johnny and the crew. Thanks Brantley!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! They came back home relaxed, well-fed, and clearly well-loved. The sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they treated my cats like their own. Highly recommend!! 🤩

Stephanie’s overall approach, attentiveness, and communication (pictures, videos & messages) when taking care of Piper (5 y/o Collie/Aussie mix) gave me an ease that reaffirmed to me that Piper was in good hands. I will most definitely be reaching out to Stephanie for future boarding needs and could not recommend her enough!!

Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.

Laila took excellent care of my dog for 9 days. She sent me plenty of updates everyday and was always quick to respond. My dog is typically very shy and anxious around new people and dogs, but she became very happy and comfortable around Laila and the other dogs quite quickly. It’s clear that Laila has plenty of experience, love, and attention when taking care of dogs. I would definitely trust Laila to care for my dog again in the future!

Jennifer followed all the instructions and sent me regular updates. Having such a great Rover gave us piece of mind while we travelled.

He was on time, asked all the necessary care questions and made me feel confident that Riku was in good hands. Riku came back happy and I was able to have a nice night out with no worry.

Shu was very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. She boarded my older dog for 9 days and I am entirely grateful for the great care my dog received. She provided regular updates and several photos which helped me feel at ease while being several states away. She also updated me on his health and general state of well-being and ensured he was well taken care of. Shu went above and beyond in her care, and I'd recommend her services to anyone in the local area.

Macaley was absolutely wonderful! I could totally tell by her pictures, regular updates, and when I picked them up, that my little guys were happy and well taken care of. Macaley is very attentive to detail ,pleasant to talk to, and immediately put my dogs at ease at the meet and greet. Macaley also has a very calming space, a back yard and big park across the street which I know my dogs love. Macaley will definitely be preferred option for taking care of my dogs moving forward!!

Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.

What Is Seattle Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Worried about your dog’s comfort while you’re away? Rover helps you choose from over 3,200 dog boarding environments hosted by vetted and reviewed Seattle sitters. Turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation in popular Seattle dog-friendly neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Fremont, Capitol Hill, or West Seattle. Rover makes it easy to find affordable dog boarding in Seattle and surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Tacoma, or Bothell. The cost of dog boarding in Seattle, WA, ranges from $65 to $70 per night.

Convenience to SeaTac

Tailored Dog Boarding Options in Seattle

  • Solo dog care: 1,682 sitters offer one-on-one attention for anxious pups
  • Fenced yards: 1,378 sitters have outdoor play areas for high-energy pups
  • Boarding + daycare: 1,937 sitters offer daycare for playful dogs
  • Grooming & bathing: 710 sitters provide light grooming for long-term stays
  • Multi-pet boarding: 1,536 sitters welcome multiple dogs or cats
Unlike traditional kennels that follow a strict group schedule, dog boarding through Rover is customizable to your dog’s emotional needs. For most sitters, services such as additional walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are included in their daily rate.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like:
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll around Green Lake or Belltown waterfront
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
When booking, factor in your dog’s habits and needs to your sitter’s location. Does your dog need off-leash playtime? A sitter who lives in the U District may visit Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. Well-socialized dogs may enjoy staying with sitters who live by dog-friendly outdoor patios, like Bark!Espresso, a dog-themed café with fun treats for pups, or The Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard.
Need more routine stability? If your pup thrives on routine, Seattle house sitting services may be a better choice. For about $75 per night, a Seattle sitter will stay in your home and follows your care instructions.
