“Jesse was super responsive and accommodating. My dog Abby is an escape artist and Jesse’s space and attitude gave me comfort. Abby got along great with his dog checkers and she did not seem all that excited to see me when I came to get her. A good sign she was well cared for and comfortable with Jesse and Checkers. Will book with Jesse again.”
“Faye was great. Flexible with drop off and pick up times. Met us on the pickup with all the girl’s belongings ready to go. Really easy transitions. Provided updates and was very communicative. Thanks so much.”
“Kaylee has boarded Xena multiple times and it’s always great! Many pictures and updates, and Xena loves her and her kids. We’re happy knowing Xena is with Kaylee while we’re away!”
“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”
“Desiree and her little helper were wonderful. Xena was able to play with Desiree's precious little helper which allowed Xena to interact with children. We felt comfortable that Xena were in good hands with the pictures and video that we received. Thank you Desiree and little helper!!!”
“My pup had a great stay and was well taken care of! They did a great job of accommodating his anxiety and puppy energy and their golden retriever was the perfect playmate. Great sitter that provided daily updates and cared for my dog like one of their own”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
“Kristin was a great sitter. She gave Josie Jo lots of love and attention and her little dog became Josie’s good friend. She sent photos and videos which made my day. I will definitely ask Kristen to care for Josie Jo again when I travel.”
“Marianne took great care of our doodle, Teddy, for a week of boarding. They took Teddy for frequent long walks, let her sprawl on their couch and sleep in their bed, and treated her like their own. Communication was great, and we received daily updates with photos/videos. We would definitely book with Marianne again!”
“Karla and her family are incredible! They take the best care of our dog when we go away, treating him like family and giving him so much love and affection. I feel so lucky we have such a wonderful sitter for our dog!”
“Deidre took such good care of my dog while I was on a long trip. She sent pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I'm so grateful for her kindness and care. She is highly recommended.”
“Bobbi is amazing and so great with Moku! She was so helpful with making me and my pup feel so comfortable. She gave me peace of mind as I traveled and put up with my dog’s quirks until he felt safe. She can manage probably every dog and make them feel like her home is theirs. Her communication was so quick and it was so nice getting updates everyday on how he was doing. I would definitely rebook if I need to and would recommend her to anyone! My dog isn’t the easiest to take care of mainly because he has separation anxiety from my wife and myself and she still was so gracious with him even after multiple difficult nights of him whimpering and whining. None of this is due to her ability to care for him he’s just very particular. Even still she communicated with kindness of how he was doing and kept me in the loop constantly. I’m grateful she was willing and so very capable of making my dog feel at home. If you are in need of dog care and she is available she is definitely worth trusting your dog with!”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Leanne was very professional. Before Finn’s overnight, we had a meet and greet. She had a form for his needs and information. Finn has anxious behaviors, so she asked many questions to make sure his stay was comfortable when he stayed. When Finn had his overnight, she sent multiple updates with pictures. She had toys for finn that he loved and he loved relaxing on her couch. It was a home away from home. We’re very grateful it went so well.”
“Dani was great. It is never easy leaving your dog somewhere new, and Dani made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We will definitely use her in the future. Thanks for taking care of Bailey!!”

Jesse was fantastic with our dogs, Storm and Trooper. From the start he was easy to reach and quick to respond to every message, which made booking and drop-off completely stress-free on our end. Throughout the stay he sent regular photo updates, so we always had a good sense of how the dogs were doing and could see for ourselves that they were comfortable and settled in. When we picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and showed zero signs of stress or anxiety, which says a lot about the environment Jesse creates. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, not just checking a box. Communication, reliability, and how our dogs came back are the three things we care about most with any boarder, and Jesse delivered on all three. Highly recommend Jesse if you want someone who treats your dogs like his own. We'll be booking with him again
Maria is wonderful with dogs. My three year old spoiled rotten ADHD golden retriever had never had a sleepover before (one of us appears to have attachment issues😃). I left her for 5 nights. Maria did such a great job, I booked her again for two nights. My Goldie was so glad to be back at Maria’s, she dragged me to her door on arrival. Pictures were great from Maria! She was very organized both times. My baby looked better when I picked her up than when I left her. Brushed and smelled good too. Maria is a gem. You won’t be sorry if you book her!! Just leave time for me!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelton on Rover is $43.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 900 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelton. 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.
97% of Shelton 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 Shelton 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 Shelton 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 Shelton.
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 Shelton 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.
