“Our girl Rebel was so happy to and well taken care of. We got lots of photos and updates daily, it gave it peace of mind trust our baby was well taken care of and being loved.”
“Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!”
“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.”
“We did boarding for our dog Marcel at Ana's home, and she and her family were fantastic caretakers. Ana was communicative, timely, and conscientious - from planning outings to make sure Marcel got the exercise and attention he needs, to sharing regular photo updates on how he was doing during his stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Dani & Joy took great care with my pup. In fact I think my little dog fell in love with them! Updates were excellent & as were pictures! They are kind, communicative and very professional… we will be using their service repeatedly! They put me & this lil girl completely at ease. Thank you so much Dani & Joy!”
“Exceptional care! I received lots of text and picture updates so I could see that my dog was having a great time and was very well cared for. My dog received plenty of exercise, affection, and playtime. She went above and beyond my expectations! Besides the attentive care my dog received, they are such a kind family. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again. Thank you so much for making Rufus feel right at home.”
“Ramon was amazing. He was on time, took care of my dog and sent me great pictures daily outdoor. My favorite part is that he worked from home and he was with her pretty much all day. My dog was extremely happy. Would definitely rebook with him again.”
“Randsell was super communicative and was very caring! I could tell our cat was very reluctant in parting ways with her when I went to pick him up. I'm very grateful she was available last minute for our trip to cat sit.”
“Catherine was excellent! She was very prepared and comfortable working with our dog. She sent plenty of photos and videos and took our dog on long walks to exercise him. We felt very assured and would definitely book with her again. Thanks, Catherine!”

“Incredible dog sitter! Zhongni was incredibly attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide regular photo updates, she also took some of my favorite photos of him ever. I highly recommend Zhongni if you’re ever in need of a sitter!”
“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Debra takes such great care of our dog, we always know she's in good hands with her. Debra's updates and attention to detail are incredible. Best pet sitter we've had!”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Seattle is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Zhongni was a great sitter. She had plenty toys for Scooby to enjoy. She sent me great photos of my pup having the best time of his life. She took him on a few walks and he slept like a baby during the night. She was very responsive. I'd definitely plan to book with her in the future.
Nikki was great! Quick and friendly communication and flexible with drop off and pickup. You can tell she’s knowledgeable about caring for dogs and has plenty of experience as a sitter. She even gave Zoey some of Walter’s food when I miscounted how much food to pack! Zoey had a great time!
Chelsea was amazing and so flexible as our travel plans changed and we had to cancel our stay. She talked to rover support and made it right for us. My puppy is an anxious girl and she warmed up quickly to hear. We are seeing this as a trial run and will definitely be using her again!!
Joash was incredible- he was super flexible when we had a family emergency the night before he was supposed to watch Basil and he and took her a night early and an extra night, and worked with our other Rover on pickup. He was quick to respond, and sent pics and sent updates throughout the stay. We'd use Joash again!
Byron was fantastic with Dakota! He took great care of her, kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Byron again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Our cockapoo loved staying with Hyeonyoung! She is so kind and professional -- and clearly takes her role as a pet sitter seriously. We appreciated all the effort she made to get to know our pup...and ensure that he was comfortable, safe, and a very happy guest during his stay. We're so happy to have found her -- and would recommend her highly!
Egor was amazing with Rusty! Rusty had an absolute blast and came home completely exhausted in the best way possible. Egor sent lots of pictures and regular updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rusty can be pretty rambunctious, energetic, and needy, but Egor handled him so well and made sure all of his needs were met. It was obvious Rusty got plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Egor again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for their dog.
Isabella was truly wonderful! She was so kind, flexible, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and lots of photos of my dog, which meant so much to me. You can tell she has such a genuine love for animals, and I knew Biscuit was in the best hands. I’m so grateful for her and would happily book with Isabella again! 🤍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Seattle on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Seattle sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Seattle landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
