Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.

Regina went above and beyond to ensure my elderly dachshund received the best care and attention. Her regular photo updates allowed our family to relax while away, knowing our pet was in good hands. Regina was also easy to work with, flexible, and we look forward to having our dog stay with Regina again!

Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!

Jessica demonstrates a lot of patience and compassion for animals and also takes beautiful pictures of her furry guests.

Ana was communicative, timely, and conscientious - from planning outings to make sure Marcel got the exercise and attention he needs, to sharing regular photo updates on how he was doing during his stay. Would highly recommend!

Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.

Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!

This was Lola’s first overnight stay with Alejandra after just a couple of daycare visits, and we couldn’t have been happier. It’s never easy leaving your dog overnight for the first time, but Alejandra made us feel completely at ease. She sent sweet updates and photos, and it was obvious Lola was having a great time and getting lots of love. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely book with Alejandra again she is the best!

Nicolas was AMAZING! My two doggies spent 8 days with him while I was on vacation. I was nervous about being gone so long, and one of my dogs has never been to a sitter. Nicolas updated me multiple times a day along with photos! I think the dogs love him more than me. Lol. He is my new dog person for sure! I can't give enough positive feedback! So wonderful!!!!

Jessica and her partner are absolute gems! They took such good care of our baby boy (Bear) while we were away for a couple weeks visiting family. We were given bountiful updates and pictures that really put me and my partners heart at ease- it honestly looked like Bear had a better time than we did 😂💗 Jessica went above and beyond to care for Bear, take him out many times a day, and was honestly very much in tune with his behavior and what he likes/doesn’t like. She was noticing things about Bear that we’ve observed over the years, in such a short amount of time! We were incredibly happy with our experience and will definitely be booking with Jessica again the next time we are away ☺️

Nikki and Walther took excellent care of our little dog. Nikki sent regular updates throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I think our dog had a little vacation of his own with Nikki and Walther—and was probably even more spoiled than he is at home! Our usually nervous dog came back calm, relaxed, and happy, which says a lot about the care and attention he received. I would absolutely book with Nikki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Dog Boarding FAQs

If you’re searching for a South Lake Union dog boarding sitter for the first time, visit the sitter’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a sitter before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Typically, dog boarding sitters on Rover respond in under an hour, so you should be matched with the perfect sitter for you and your dog in no time!

Experience can vary widely from sitter to sitter, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing sitters available in South Lake Union.

Rover makes it easy to find South Lake Union dog boarding sitters to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star sitters you can find on Rover will welcome your dog into their home when you’re away—whether it’s just for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding is great for:

  • Dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies
  • Pet parents looking for a safe, loving alternative to a kennel
  • Dogs who’d love to socialize with their sitter’s pets

Yes! Sitters joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog boarding sitter through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your sitter has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals.

What Is Seattle Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Worried about your dog’s comfort while you’re away? Rover helps you choose from over 3,200 dog boarding environments hosted by vetted and reviewed Seattle sitters. Turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation in popular Seattle dog-friendly neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Fremont, Capitol Hill, or West Seattle. Rover makes it easy to find affordable dog boarding in Seattle and surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Tacoma, or Bothell. The cost of dog boarding in Seattle, WA, ranges from $65 to $70 per night.

Convenience to SeaTac

Travelers flying through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) can choose from 160+ dog boarding locations within 15 miles. Some sitters may also meet you at the airport for an additional fee.

Tailored Dog Boarding Options in Seattle

  • Solo dog care: 1,682 sitters offer one-on-one attention for anxious pups
  • Fenced yards: 1,378 sitters have outdoor play areas for high-energy pups
  • Boarding + daycare: 1,937 sitters offer daycare for playful dogs
  • Grooming & bathing: 710 sitters provide light grooming for long-term stays
  • Multi-pet boarding: 1,536 sitters welcome multiple dogs or cats
Unlike traditional kennels that follow a strict group schedule, dog boarding through Rover is customizable to your dog’s emotional needs. For most sitters, services such as additional walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are included in their daily rate.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like:
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll around Green Lake or Belltown waterfront
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
When booking, factor in your dog’s habits and needs to your sitter’s location. Does your dog need off-leash playtime? A sitter who lives in the U District may visit Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. Well-socialized dogs may enjoy staying with sitters who live by dog-friendly outdoor patios, like Bark!Espresso, a dog-themed café with fun treats for pups, or The Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard.
Need more routine stability? If your pup thrives on routine, Seattle house sitting services may be a better choice. For about $75 per night, a Seattle sitter will stay in your home and follows your care instructions.
