“Maria is amazing!!! The warmest person with the best vibes. I felt so comfortable leaving my Poppy there with her and the little ones. She fit right in and I wasn’t anxious or worried about her at all while I was away. I have found my new “forever home” away from home for my little miss ?”

“Molly is INCREDIBLE! She cared for our soul-dog for a whopping 12 days while we explored a country almost 5,000 miles away. She maintained open communication, daily updates without us asking, and she even sent us 40 pictures of our pup over just those 12 days. Molly is amazing and the sweetest human. We were lucky to have found her and her sweet senior pups to keep our girl in good company while we were away. I cannot recommend or praise Molly highly enough. Truly an amazing person who provided us peace of mind and so much happiness to our pup in a time”

“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we booked with her, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent thoughtful, sweet updates throughout the stay — photos and little messages about the activities our dog was enjoying — which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out is how content and relaxed our dog was when she came home. This has never happened after stays at other facilities, where she would return stressed or unsettled. With Linda, she came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We hope that we get to book with you again in the future. Thank you, Linda!”

“Jassem and Joshua are the best! They were so loving and affectionate and attentive with Damon. They gave me peace of mind. I am usually weary about who can watch Damon but they were just the best. Damon had a great time and a wonderful routine with cuddling and going out to the backyard. I loved how they sent us photos every day and I could see how happy and content Damon was. Damon has a bad leg that needs monitoring and takes medication and probiotics. They did such a great job with that!! And they were so attentive they noticed any little changes in Damon’s condition and asked us how to proceed. It was the best experience and my husband Damon and I are very happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU!”

“Maggie (and Annabel and Audrey) were such amazing hosts for our pup’s stay. We were a bit nervous as Max had n’t had a sitter experience since he was a puppy, but Maggie was so kind and patient, setting up a meet and greet and asking all the right questions to make sure Max’s experience would be a good one. Maggie made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos while we were away, which comforted us tremendously. Max had such a great time with Maggie and the girls that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us! We 100% recommend Maggie’s services and would definitely love to set up a stay with her in the future. Thank you!”

Joe is very responsive whenever I reach out, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Bobbie in his care. We’ve loved our experience and will definitely keep booking with Joe and Kiko!”

They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 5,560 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shawnee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee.

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 Shawnee 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.
