“So grateful for last minute dog care! Val truly made our 15 year old pup feel at home and we have the pictures she shared with us to prove it ?Our dog typically doesn’t eat when kenneling (due to anxiety), so when we arrived to pick him up and noticed the majority of his food eaten we were very impressed. Thank you Val for taking such great care of our furry family member!”
“This is our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. In the past we have always used family or friends of the family to watch our dog. It could not have gone better!! He was well taken care of and we even got pictures sent to us. I don’t think he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Kapri was so happy at tobi’s place. She took to Tobi and her husband right away she also loved having a backyard to hangout in. Will definitely be using tobi again in the future, Kapri was super happy getting such good care from Tobi.”
“Jeanine did great with my tobi! She kept in constant communication through message and pictures. He absolutely loved being there. I will definitely be bringing him back whenever i need 😊”
“Ethan is the best! He watched our golden for over a week and sent us pictures and videos every day. Porter had the best time and we are so thankful to have a good, reliable person to leave him with!”
“Diahann took amazing care of our sweet girl. She updated us everyday while we were away and our dog was loved and pampered. We will definitely be re booking with Diahann.”
“Noelle is the BEST! This was the first time I’ve ever used a dog sitter or Rover so I was nervous, until I met Noelle. She was so welcoming and eased all my worries. Ellie is a six month old Cockapoo so I was worried she might become depressed since this was the first time being away from home but with Noelle’s loving care, Ellie had a blast! I wasn’t sure if she would want to come back home. I appreciated Noelle’s daily updates, pictures and videos. I am so thankful that I found Noelle and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you again, Noelle!”
“Chris was wonderful with our little ShihTzu. He and his wife answered all of my questions and helped me feel confident in their ability during the meet and greet. We received daily photos and message updates. It was easy to see our dog felt very comfortable in their home and got along with their pays. We will book with him again!”
“Ashleigh is the first dog sitter in 45 years whom we have trusted to take care of our two small dogs outside of our home. Her home is lovely, and has a large, safely fenced yard. She has three of her own small, sweet rescue dogs. But all of those are just additions to Ashleigh's obvious love of dogs, her warm and wonderful personality and level of caring. Jacob and Thomas were safe, well cared for, exercised and loved. We received pictures daily, and when Ashleigh wanted to get to know them better she asked all the right questions. We've already booked a second stay! What a relief to know you can travel and your four-footed babies will be SO well cared for! Thanks, Ashleigh!”
“Mariko was absolutely wonderful! We needed to make last minute arrangements for our mini doxy while we went out of town because she got sick and needed special feeding and medicines around the clock. She took care of our little girl and sent us lots photos and videos everyday to keep us up to date. Her whole family truly loves dogs and was very attentive. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“My dog didn't come back traumatized, which is a good thing. Kristine sent me pictures of my dog fitting right in with the others. I won't have a problem leaving my dog the next time I have to leave.”
“We were very happy with Kaitlin as our pet sitter. This is the first time our dog, Bella, had been away from us and is working through some anxiety issues so I was concerned how she would do. Kaitlin kept me updated with photos and Bella looked so happy and comfortable. My aunt has also used Kaitlin to watch her dog and was equally as satisfied. Highly recommend!”
“10/10 recommend Katrina and her family!! They showed my fur babies the best care and love :) I felt extremely at peace with them being there! Katrina also sent updates of them everyday making my experience even better than expected! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”
“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with Silo. It was my first time leaving her overnight with a Rover, and Jennifer methodically acclimated Silo to her space, introduced to her to her own pets and made she had all the information she needed to take good care of her. It was very confidence inspiring, and I got tons of pictures of my pup while I was gone. Overall a great experience, I would definitely leave Si with Jennifer again anytime!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Spanaway on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,488 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.
92% 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.
