“Anthony and Krista were great! They sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and communicated very well. My dogs seemed very comfortable and relaxed when I dropped them off and picked them up even though it was their first time staying with them.”
“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!”
“Knowing that my little princess is safe, happy, adored, and well maintained is such an essential stress relief while traveling. As always, we are super happy with the quality care that Diahann provides and we will be returning again!”
“Ashleigh took amazing care of our frenchie and sent lots of updates during his stay.She accommodated us for a last minute stay and sent us home with a happy and tired pup. 🥰 THANK YOU”
“Amazing is all I can say!! She had great communication and Finney loved his time with her ( not sure he wanted to come home 😂😂). We will definitely be rebooking her in the future”
“Kristine was great! This was my chihuahuas first time away from family and he was very comfortable. It didn’t occur to me there would be fireworks due to the holiday. He hates fire works but Kristine handled it well. Thank you Kristine!”
“Ren and his family were exceptional caregivers for our very very active puppy. They were thoughtful with everything they did with our dog. They’re wonderfully responsive, professional and clearly have years of experience with dogs. Ren is truly a dog whisperer. Thank you!”
“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!”
“We received many photos of Roxi being spoiled and getting along with other dogs (which is not normal for her) so that was great to see! We would definitely refer Val and Michelle to others for their fur children as it's nice to know that they are well taken care of when you are out of town :-) thank you again Val and Michelle!”
“Jeannine is an absolute delight. She made me feel so safe and cared for boarding my new rescue dog while on a vacation. Solid, dog-centered home and yard and focused on your dogs individual needs. She even continued training with her, and sent pictures daily. I will be booking with her from here on out!”
“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!”
“Ethan really filled in in a pinch for us when our sitter situation didn’t work out less than 12 hours beforehand. Super responsive, and having a really awesome setup and really thoughtful care, I’d highly recommend Ethan!”
“We booked with Rebecca for a weekend. She was able to accommodate us short notice. There were other dogs boarded at the same time which our golden loved. Ruca had a blast and came home nice and tired out afterwards!”
“Christopher was great with Bella. I felt good after our meet and greet. He kept me updated on how she was doing and sent pictures. Will definitely take Bella back in the future.”
“Sheena is AWESOME! This was our first time using her and plan to keep using her in the future. Our initial meet and great was great he was introduced one by one to her pups. She sent me lot of photos and videos that myself and my kids loved as we are almost never away from him for extended periods of time. He had a true play-cation making lots of friends!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
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
Wendy did a great job with watching our dog Ziya and cat Leo. She kept us updated with how they were doing with pictures and videos and responded in a timely manner. When dropping my fur babies off, I initially felt scared because I’ve never had a stranger watch them before, but after initially meeting Wendy and hearing about how Ziya and Leo were doing I felt a whole lot better. I would bring them back to her again. Thanks Wendy!
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 $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,530 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.
