“Two days before the boarding date with Mariko san, Our dog Loi was injured by our neighbor dog and urgently, unexpectedly, he had needed some medication while he stayed with Mariko san. In spite of our concerns of Loi’s condition, she and her family took good care of our dog with sending us daily reports and photos. He is all better now, it’s all for her loving, tender care. We sincerely appreciate you and your family! We would definitely want to come back ❣️ Kaori”
“My dog Cookie was well taken care of. Nikkole listened to my concerns, vet's suggestions, and what works best for my dog, and goes above and beyond! Cookie was so well taken care of in my absence, and he came home so healthy and happy. I will definitely be taking him back and am thankful to her for treating my dog as one of her own.”
“Kristen was wonderful in taking care of three of our dogs while we were out of town. Our oldest dog tends to have high separation anxiety and medical issues that make his routine a bit complex, our corgi is extremely people-shy, and our youngest dog is high energy with severe allergies. Kristen managed all of these quirks, ensuring that each of our dog's needs were met and that they had a fabulous time staying at her house. She provided daily updates with lots of pictures to show us how they were doing, and all three came home happy and tired. We really appreciate Kristen and highly recommend her!”

“Anna and her family took absolutely amazing care of Zeus, our English Bulldog, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in a loving, safe, and attentive home environment. Anna kept us updated and treated Zeus like part of her own family, making sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. When we picked him up, he was relaxed and clearly enjoyed his stay, which says everything about the care he received. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love Anna and her family show toward the pets they watch. We will always use Anna in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”
“Kathie is so great with the updates and photos of my pup! I know he’s always well cared for! He loves to going to see Kathie so much that I have to coax him in to leaving her house! 😆”
“Our two labs had an amazing time with Harlie. They came home exhausted and happy. One of our dogs went into heat the day before our booking was scheduled and Harlie was still able to accommodate and keep her safe and separated from other dogs. We highly recommend Harlie and her care for our pups.”
“The sweetest sitter ever!! 🥹💕 10/10, we absolutely loved our experience! She sent me so many adorable videos of our girls playing, which made me feel so comfortable knowing they were having the best time. She even sent them home with cute little bandanas and a bag of treats 🥹🎀 The sweetest, most thoughtful touch! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies and for being so responsive, flexible, and genuinely sweet to our girls. You can tell how much love and care she puts into what she does, and that means everything as a dog mom. We’ll absolutely be leaving both of our babies with her whenever we have a show in Tacoma! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly, highly recommend!! 💕”

We highly recommend them and will definitely be booking again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Hill
Absolutely Wonderful! A Puppy Paradise! We had a barely two-month-old puppy and a 16-day trip to Europe planned, and we were absolutely beside ourselves with worry about leaving our little girl behind. That all changed when we met Diahann and her family! From the very beginning, we could tell they were special people. They have such a calm, gentle, reassuring energy, exactly what you want when you’re entrusting someone with a wild, energetic, and sometimes downright dramatic puppy! Our little Zelda had the opportunity to socialize with a variety of other small dogs, which was wonderful for her development. Diahann sent us daily pictures and videos, patiently answered every one of my many questions, and went above and beyond to ease my anxiety while we were thousands of miles away. Her kindness and communication meant the world to us. What impressed me even more was her willingness to help us maintain some consistency with Zelda’s training. I asked that she be crated for at least an hour each day to continue working on crate training. Now, Zelda howls like a wild animal when she doesn’t get her way, so I know this was probably not the most enjoyable request! But Diahann followed through, and I truly appreciated her patience and commitment. And their home? It’s a fancy little doggie paradise! Dog TV playing, plenty of little canine companions, a comfortable and welcoming environment, and even cameras so they can monitor the dogs at night. It’s clear that this family genuinely loves dogs and has put thought into making their home a wonderful place for them. After 16 days, Zelda came home happy, well cared for, and even freshly bathed! 🐾❤️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Diahann and her family. Leaving such a young puppy for that long was incredibly difficult, but they gave us the peace of mind to actually enjoy our vacation. That is priceless. I would recommend them hands down, without a moment’s hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with patience, kindness, and genuine love, you’ve found the right family. We are so grateful to have found them, and Zelda will absolutely be back!
We left our two dogs Coco and Lola for a 2 week vacation with Katrina and her family and it couldn’t have gone any better! From the meet and great with her and her family to the drop off day, Katrina was very warm and welcoming, she sent us photos every day and kept us updated on how our pups were doing. I would definitely board our dogs with her again. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Katrina and family.
Our 20th booking with Kristen, and once again she was absolutely wonderful with our boys! They stayed with her for 8 nights, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Since we don’t have family here, it means so much to have someone we trust and Kristen’s home truly feels like a second home for them. We know they are always going to be spoiled, loved, and treated like her own. We’re so incredibly grateful to have found her. Thank you Kristen for always taking such amazing care of them! ❤️
This is our second time booking Tiffany and Tremaine and migi always has a great time with them. I recently just had a 12 night booking and they always send me lots of pictures and updates! Unfortunately we had flight issues and were an hour late for pickup and they were accommodating. Would book them again and again!
Katherine truly went above and beyond while looking after our dog. A fantastic Rover who is communicative, clearly very knowledgeable about animals, and cares for those in her care like they were her own pets. She was very attentive to our dog’s needs, giving us frequent updates and frankly doing much more than we would ever ask to make sure he was as happy and comfortable as possible. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Cherii is a wonderful dog sitter!! Our dog tends to be pretty shy around new people, and had never been left with anyone before, but Cherii was patient and so kind and by the end of our 6 day trip, Rosie looked right at home with her. She has a beautiful yard for running and playing, and we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We will definitely be using her again the next time we need a sitter! Thank you, Cherii!
Rachel was a godsend! She was able to watch Holly for almost 3 weeks and I could tell she treated Holly like family. She loved on her, took her for walks and adventures; when Holly got a little messy from playing outside, gave her a bath. Rachel has a huge gorgeous backyard and our sunbathing Holly was in her element. Fairly certain Holly misses Rachel already. We will 1000% be rebooking! Recieved numerous updates and photos which made my puppy momma heart calm. ❤️
Charlie came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates, photos, and the attention she gave him. It’s not always easy finding someone you trust with your dog, and she made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. We definitely will be using her again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - South Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in South Hill is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,387 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Hill. 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.
93% of sitters in South Hill 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 South Hill 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 South Hill.
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 South Hill 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.
