“They provided excellent communication to me the entire way! The best boarding i have received from Rover. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was well taken care of when she was experiencing some separation anxiety overnight.”
“Top shelf folks! Everything you and your dog might hope for and more. Good people, dog friendly, super clean, nice neighborhood, clear prompt communication and a happy, healthy dog to greet me at the end of my journey. Thank you!!”
“We just had a great experience with Kyle & Bailey! My girl, Sadie had not been boarded before and she had the best time. They treated Sadie like she was part of their family and she was very comfortable, which I could see from the photos and texts sent. Sadie got to run and play with their dogs, but also got to be the lap dog she loves to be. She came home relaxed and tired from the great time she had. Sadie wants to go back again sometime soon!”
“Kaela was great with our two large dogs. She and her family kept our two dogs busy and active playing with them and attending to all of their needs. Kaela was very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for your pets.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“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!!”
“Keep was fantastic! She kept us updated daily and provided us with photos on how our dogs were doing. Our dogs came home with smiles and were very relaxed! We appreciate all Keep did for us and our dogs and will definitely go back to her for future dog sitting needs!”
“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Anita was really wonderful with our shih tzu Hunter. She gave him lots of individual attention and was careful to follow our instructions. She kept in contact with us frequently via text, sending status reports and candid pictures of him as he went about his day. She has several cats and two dogs and he did very well with all of them. It was helpful that during our initial meet-n-greet she introduced herself to him first outside her home. Then we went inside and she gave him ample time to spend in the environment with her pets. Once he came over for his actual stay he settled in quite nicely and had a great time. Anita was lovely to work with and we'd definitely send Hunter to her again.”
“Lauren is the absolute gold standard in pet care. She exceeded every single expectation I thought I could have when it came to someone other than myself caring for my dog. Her communication is top notch from booking to pick up. She is extremely thorough on intake which I appreciated so much! I knew just how much care would be going in to caring for my dog while being away for over 2 weeks. She takes her responsibility for your pet seriously and makes every effort to make your dogs stay comfortable. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Tammie was fantastic. We travelled internationally and she kept us up to date, sending regular updates and photos. We were looking for a new place where our dog would be outside exploring vs kenneled and Tammie’s was perfect. She will be our go to!”
“I am thrilled to have come across Kana. Since we are only here for the summer, I needed someone to look after my energetic 11-month-old pug, Pedro. He had a fantastic time with Kana and Brian! Thank you so much for taking care of him, we are very grateful!”
“Pamela was a dream! She loved our Aurora instantly and she was so well received by her other two small dogs she owns. My dog played every moment of the day at Pamela's Puppy Play Palace! She sent us regular updates of pictures and videos. It was clear she loved our dog like her own. Pamela has plenty of time for care and concern for our dog during the week with multiple walks and extra special love. Pamela was very conscientious about all our doggy needs and asked a lot of care questions. We are so thankful for her and will be using her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“John was fabulous and took lovely care of our dog. Pictures and updates were appreciated. He let us know how she was becoming comfortable at his home and she loved the daily walks.”
“Darby is the best. I thought I had booked, but I hadn’t quite done it. Darby accommodated us on basically no notice at all. Our dogs love going to Darby’s and I love feeling 110% unworried about them and knowing they are well cared for.”
“My Maltipoo 6month old puppy was well adored and cared for overnight. He enjoyed Lena and her family, including her very nice dog. We look forward to him staying over again! Thank you Lena!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and Charis and it was fantastic. Charis communicated in a timely manner, great with our dog, and the drop off and pick up process was amazing. We will rebook with Charis in the future as she was just the best!”
“Andrea was so good with our dog Emmy! Emmy loved her! It was such a relief to know Emmy was happy, safe and well taken care of while we traveled for the holidays! She provided regular updates with pictures and videos that helped me know Emmy was doing great! I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shelton is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 895 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 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.
95% of sitters in Shelton 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 Shelton home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
