“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”
“I boarded my nervous little dog with Heather, and I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received. Heather connected with me each day with a report of my dog's state of being. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in excellent hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“Diahann was absolutely amazing!!! She updated us daily with pictures and stories to let us know our fur baby was well taken care of. Our dog, Zoe, was clean and happy when we picked her up. I can confidently recommend Diahann!”
“Katrina and her family were great with dog, Louie. We were in Thailand for two weeks but the pictures and updates that Katrina would send helped us to miss him just a little bit less. They took great care of him and we are already planning our next trip :)”
“From the moment we booked with Noelle we felt confident that our boy would be in very good care. Noelle exceeded all our expections, she is beyond amazing!!! We would get daily updates and photos. Jack got daily walks and play time with her sweet dogs. We will definitely be using Noelle's services in the future!”
“Kristine is awesome, got stuck in a snow storm traveling back. Kristine was very understanding. I’m very grateful I could leave my mooch with someone so wonderful. He enjoyed his stay!”
“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”
“Val was wonderful with my little Tillie. Her care and concern for my older girl made me feel completely comfortable leaving her with Val when I went away on a trip. Tillie had lots of furry friends to hang out with, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures of her stay while I was away. I will definitely take her back to stay with Val again.”
“It was my first time using Rover. Rebecca, her son, and their dog greeted us outside for a short introduction. My dog and hers became immediate buddies. I met her family and the kids were very excited to meet my dog. When we came to pick him up, the kids wanted to know when my dog could come again. My dog must have had a great time because when we got home we went for a short walk and then he slept like a log. We'll be back.”
“Kayle was great with my dog Rocky! She sent photos every day and I could tell he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend her as a sitter. I will be asking her to petsit for me in the future!”
“Our dog Walter was so well cared for. Ethan is thoughtful and an excellent caregiver and business person! He is prompt, caring and our dog had a great time! He came home tired from all the play with dog friends, I got updates, photos and know he was well cared for. Highly recommend 🐕”
“Marli takes such great care of our doggies while we are away, the dogs are part of the family and are loved and taken care of. Thank you!! Gertie and Lou told me they love staying at your house too!”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and I really appreciated that she required a meet-and-greet beforehand with her own dogs. It showed me that she genuinely cares about the well-being and safety of every dog in her care—not just filling bookings. She came up with a thoughtful plan to make sure my dog would be comfortable and safe with the other dogs, which gave me so much confidence leaving him with her. Throughout his stay, Jennifer was friendly, communicative, and sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. I could tell my dog was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog sitter!”

Lashon took excellent care of my dogs- there are three and they have very different personalities. Her family quickly understood the temperaments and neediness of my old ladies and energetic puppy. I will definitely book again! The puppy didn’t want to come home. That is always a great sign!
Nicole was awesome with our dog. He has some behavioral issues, so he’s not an easy dog but Nicole was a pro and he even came back to us with a more chill demeanor. It was so fun she sent us txt and video updates the whole weekend too! we’re really grateful she could watch our doggo. 10/10
If you’ve ever met a Vizsla, you know they’re not really a dog, they’re a Velcro powered, high octane emotional support missile. So trusting someone to watch ours was basically like handing over a caffeinated toddler with four legs and separation anxiety. And somehow… Kathy nailed it. Our Vizsla came home happy, exercised, emotionally fulfilled, and only mildly dramatic (which is a huge win). We received daily updates and plenty of action shots. Most importantly, they treated our stage-five clinger like family. 10/10. Would absolutely trust Kathy again with our beautiful, needy, rust-colored tornado
This was our first time using Rover and Stephanie did a great job taking care of our fur babies. It was a last minute booking and she was kind and accommodating, meeting us in the evening at a time that fit our schedule so we could meet her and see where they would be staying. Will definitely see if she is available next time.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Spanaway on Rover is $42.8 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 3,504 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Spanaway. 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.
93% of Spanaway 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 Spanaway 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 Spanaway 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 Spanaway.
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 Spanaway 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.
