“Jesse was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bella. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets he looks after. While we were away, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We recently moved to the area and had to board Bella a few times before finding Jesse—and those experiences were stressful for both her and for us. This was completely different. Bella was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in his home. It made such a difference knowing she was in such great hands. We’re so grateful to have found Jesse and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
“Jerrie was a lifesaver, and the best sitter for my puppy. Her home is the perfect place for a dog with enough outdoor space to run around. Don't leave your dog at a kennel, call Jerrie.”
“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”
“Faye recently took care of our Daisy Dog. for 10 days. She was fabulous. She was very flexible with booking and made it easy for us. Daisy was very well cared for during her stay. Faye was very accommodating to Daisy's special needs and made sure Daisy was comfortable. Daisy was lucky enough to get to go for a couple walks and was even brushed a few times. Faye was great about sending texts and pictures to let us know Daisy was doing good. We are so happy we have found a great place for Daisy to stay while we are away. Many thanks to Faye & Sheryl. Daisy will definitely be visiting again in the future.”
“Daisy was well taken care of, had lots of play time, and adventures! Marianne was a fantastic communicator - we appreciated all the pictures and videos of Daisy during her extended stay. She had a little ear infection and they administered all her medications. We would definitely rebook!”
“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.”
“Desiree is the one person I trust my fur baby pup with!! Communication on updates is always very timely and I know my dog is in good hands in a safe clean home.”
“Cale was so awesome to our girl! Daily updates accompanied by photos helped us rest easier during our travels. Would absolutely leave our precious pup in his care again in the future!”
“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”
“Kaylee is so kind and loving with my pets. She’s also very good about communicating and being flexible when needed. Would recommend her over and over again! Thanks again for loving them like your own!”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“This is our 3rd time leaving Zoey with Jennifer and I truly could not say enough positive things. Zoey always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for! Jennifer's entire family is so sweet to our girl and we are happy to have found someone trustworthy and reliable.”
“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”
“Jill is very kind and caring. Linus enjoyed his overnight with her & her family and their dog Josie. She sent photos with pup-dates so I knew Linus was relaxed & well cared for. I will definitely call on Jill when we need a sitter again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelton
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 $43.29 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 912 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.
