“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”
“Jerica and Nori were amazing! Nori was playful and accommodating with a new dog on his turf and he and Toby played so well together! I got lots of photos and updates from Jerica during Toby’s stay and it was clear Toby had a great time and was well cared for. Highly recommend Jerica! We will re-book in a heartbeat!”
“Catherine takes care of our Oreo so well! She has such a calming energy and so friendly. She always send pictures and updates! I can not rave enough about her!”
“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!!!”
“Brandon was a great communicator and sent regular updates of the dogs having a great time. He was punctual with drop off and pickup times and went out of his way to take them on fun walks and to make sure they were extra comfy. They came home happy!”
“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”
“Babu stayed with Jennifer and Ken for the second time. What’s best about them is that they are both passionate about dog care and equally experienced with dogs. This gives me a great peace of mind. They shared a ton of pics and videos of Babu playing and then dozing off exhausted from the fun. I am grateful he got that attention, time and care from them and they went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of just as their own dog, who Babu gets along with super well. I am super comfortable with them. Will book again for sure.”
“Mengyuan and Matt are honestly one of the best sitters in Seattle, hands down. Their communication is great both before the stay and during it, they always get back to me super fast which puts my mind at ease. They send tons of photos every single day without me even having to ask, which I love. You can tell my dog is having the time of her life, she gets so excited every time we pull up to drop her off, which says everything you need to know lol. Cant recommend them enough!”
“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.”
“What a great sitter! Ruby had a fun time with Hing's two beautiful pups. Communication and flexibility were great and super helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for dogs. Would definitely use again.”
“Brenda is awesome. She gave our two pups the BEST weekend while we were gone. Brenda goes above and beyond, and we will 1,000% be calling her again. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Brenda!!”
“Kevin is a very responsible sitter. He made sure that he understood our dog’s habits, routines, and personality. He communicated well and sent several photos a day. We felt very comfortable having Kevin watch our dog!”
“Remus had a great time staying at Thư’s apartment! He got to explore and go on many adventures. He even got a bath and brushing :) we received daily photos and videos of their adventures. Thanks Thư!”
“Obi came home so happy and tired from all the fun he had!! Samantha and Andrew were very communicative and I would absolutely trust them to take care of Obi again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
I was in a total pinch and needed last-minute care for my pup, and I am so incredibly lucky I found A.J.! She stepped in and made the whole process stress-free. What I loved most were the daily updates and photos. It was the absolute highlight of my day getting those little glimpses into my dog’s vacation. Honestly, he had such a blast that when I went to pick him up, he almost looked disappointed to be heading home! It is such a relief knowing your pet is not just being "watched," but is genuinely having the time of their life. If you are looking for someone who is professional, reliable, and treats your dog like their own, book A.J.! Just be prepared for your dog to come back with a new best friend.
Peter took excellent care of our boy! He was super communicative throughout the stay and provided us with lots of updates on and photos of Henry. He was very attentive to Henry’s anxiety and did his best to keep Henry comfortable and feeling loved. He also has a lovely dog named Nova, and the two pups were able to play well together. Will definitely be booking with Peter again!
Sharon and Akira took wonderful care of my 10 year old border terrier. Clearly they enjoyed him and made sure that he was well cared for and appreciated. They also provided me with daily information about him, photos, and videos. I have already engaged them for caring for him again in August.
James and Jackie took great care of Yuma. They communicated well and sent us frequent updates and a lot of pictures. We had a peace of mind and knew that Yuma was in good hands while we were away for a week. Highly recommend them and would definitely use their services again!
Sudharshini was absolutely amazing! She had looked after our little furry boy, Ziggy, for daycare before, but this was his first extended stay with her for 11 days. It was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had been loved and well cared for. Ziggy requires daily dental care, and Sudharshini made sure to keep up with his tooth brushing routine. We could tell because his gums stayed healthy except just a few patches at the back—he usually develops bleeding gums if his teeth aren’t brushed for 3days straight. Ziggy also experienced some diarrhea during his stay, and Sudharshini and her husband, Gobind, followed our instructions carefully and administered his medication exactly as needed. We really appreciated the extra attention and care they gave him. We couldn’t be happier to have found Sudharshini. Knowing Ziggy was in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Best of all, Ziggy absolutely loves her! We’ve already booked her for our next vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.
Emily was excellent with our dog and great to work with. Her excellent communication skills made us feel at ease throughout her time with her. She appeared knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to ensure her comfort at all times. As a senior dog, her presence was reassuring, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in capable hands. I highly recommend Emily and would definitely book her again for future stays. .

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Seattle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Seattle on Rover is $55.5 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 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 July 2026, there are 5,910 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.
