“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.”
“Our dog stayed 4 nights at Diahann’s. Diahann and her family welcomed our very high energy 3-year old 15-lbs male Havanese. We got our little “hairball” during the pandemic and he is not used to people other than our family. It takes a long time for him to warm up to someone he does not know but Diahann and her family patiently let him settle in slowly until he let his guard down and become more comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. I recommend them. Thanks again Diahann and family!”
“Ziggy was all smiles after a day with Ashleigh and her two dogs. She sent videos and photos throughout the day, which made it easier on us. He is resting well today. Thank you Ashleigh! ”
“Noelle is absolutely fantastic! My dog daughter loves spending time with her and her dogs. Blaze comes back so happy and so cute with the services I have gotten for her. Thank you so much!”
“Kristine was absolutely amazing! She was so caring and professional with my sweet boy, Marlie. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and pictures of Marlie while he was under her care. She even took a last-minute call for boarding because of a family event. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding in Puyallup and the surrounding areas. I was completely satisfied with her service!”
“The most important thing for us is to know our elderly dog is safe, with people who understand an older dog and her needs. Mariko is that person! Millie is content, and well taken care of which gives us peace of mind when we are away. Much better than leaving her in a kennel.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We left our chihuahua with Katrina! She kept us updated with the sweetest photos constantly, which I absolutely appreciated! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup! Would most definitely book with Katrina again!”
“Rebecca had my dog Kyra over a holiday weekend when I needed someone last minute for a family emergency! This was my first time using rover and She was so quick to respond and was so kind! I could tell instantly that Kyra was going to be well taken care of and have fun with her, her family, and the other pups! She’s friendly, kind, and clearly has a big heart for animals! Kyra came home happy and tuckered out from a few days of playing! I highly recommend her!”
“Chris is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had! He’s very communicative and flexible, and is always waiting on time when I come to pick my dog up. He is a caring individual with a lot of dog care experience.”
“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!”
“I had to unexpectedly request a last boarding for my 9 week old kitten for the weekend and Brandie responded within the hour of my request. She sent me sooo many pictures of my kitty throughout the weekend and really put me at ease and did a great job. Will definitely use her again!”
“The pups were well taken care of and very happy at Kristina’s for 5 days. She took lots of pics and my pups were so happy to have lots of friends, toys, and attention!!”
“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 😊”
“Juli did an amazing job with our senior pup. We had to leave on a trip unexpectedly and she accommodated us graciously. Our pup is older and has some medical needs; Juli went above and beyond caring for him. She is such a compassionate animal lover! We will definitely keep working with her moving forward.”
“Our dog Murphy always loves Marlena’s house. Treated like part of the family, she gives her lots of cuddles, treats and outdoor time. She’s often home and spends time making sure all the dogs play well together.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Spanaway is $60

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 $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.
