Tianci took good care of Bagel! I enjoyed the shared Google photo album very much as they walked Bagel around the city and kindly also took him to the treat store.

Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.

Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!

Really appreciated having my little one with Jennifer - the photo and video updates were so appreciated & it's obvious Jennifer really cares which brought me so much comfort. She was also really understanding when our flight was unexpectedly delayed 3 hours and made sure 🐕 was safe and happy until we arrived. Highly recommend.

Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!

Very successful weekend stay with Jeffrey. Jeffrey was easy to communicate with and he consistently sent me updates of my dog. Yoshi was happy and tired when she got home. He took her on so many walks and even a trip to the dog park where Yoshi made a friend. It felt like Yoshi was on a little vacation while I was on mine. Thanks again Jeffrey, looking forward to another stay.

Vincent was an amazing sitter for Sperg! He stayed for a whole week and some unexpected extra days (due to flight delays) and he was so understanding and accommodating each day we gave him an update. They had an amazing time together, Sperg had so much fun and was well taken care of. I’d trust Vincent with any fur baby you have to ease your worries when away 🫶🏽

Amy was a wonderful dog sitter. All communication was prompt and felt unhurried. She also told me without my asking when flexibility of schedule was possible. Most importantly, my 1.5 year-old miniature dachshund Hyperion seemed to feel safe and comfortable with her overnight. As of summer 2026, she lives in a house with a yard in a quieter part of town. Lastly, her first photo and text update came the very night I dropped my baby off, which was a great relief to me as a pet parent hiring a sitter for the first time. Thanks a bunch~

This was our first time booking with Jaden as our usual Rover sitter was unavailable. We were a bit nervous since this was a long trip we were leaving our dog Autzen for. But Jaden was amazing and took great care of Autzen and he came home very happy. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying and all was a great experience. Would definitely book again!

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.
