“Angela is the best! I have used her a few times and I always know my dog is well cared for and having a great time. She is dependable and wonderful with dogs! I’m so glad I found her. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know! Thank you Angela!”
“I highly recommend Rachael!! She did amazing with my high energy, 1.5 year old, 60lb puppy! She sent many photos of him looking very happy playing with all the other dogs. She even did some leash training with him as well (with my request/permission)! I left with some helpful tips and pointers on how to better walk him. Also, she always responded immediately every time I had a question. Thank you Rachael!”
“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
“This was our first time leaving a pet with a boarder, so we spent a lot of time looking for options and we are SO glad we found Sheena!! Right from the start of communication with her to picking up Winston, she was very friendly and made us feel at ease while we were away. We received daily updates and pictures, seeing he was comfortable and having fun with his new friends😊 We will definitely book again!! Thank you Sheena!”
“Mila was so sweet to my senior pup Charlie! This was my first time boarding him with anyone. We FaceTimed before hand which reassured me that Charlie was in good hands, she took notes regarding special routine things he needed and while on my trip Mila sent photo updates that put my mind at ease. Charlie was loved and well taken care of, going to Milas made him feel like a part of the family ! We’ve pre booked with her again and I know Charlie is looking forward to it !”
“Sheri and her husband took great care of our lab while we were out of town for our wedding/honeymoon. She took Kona on many walks, and even made a point to at least play ball in the backyard when the weather turned stormy. She sent updates and photos regularly, and put our minds at ease. Will definitely use Sheri again when the need arises. ”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Katie was a life saver after our kennel declined to take our dog who had stitches in his mouth. Because of this we were able to keep our vacation plans. Katie was also accommodating to the special needs of our dog (no playing or toys in the mouth due to stitches). Katie and her family took wonderful care of our baby and was very easy to work with, not to mention economical. Katie took extra time to take pictures and keep us updated on our pup.”
“As always, Sheri & Bill are a great comfort. Roscoe recognizes when we pull into their driveway and is happy when we see him run right up to their front door!”
“Teri is truly the Dog Whisperer. I will never go elsewhere. Addie loves visiting/staying - which is Addie’s growling at me when it’s time to go home!! Wink!! Adore you, Teri”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Sarah was a wonderful caretaker to my pup. She took special care to follow his normal routine, kept me updated by text with photos and a small description of how that way went, and truly kept my pup happy. I wish I could give her more stars and im happy to have a permanent sitter choice on this app”
“I appreciate the care Jack received. He got along with her dogs and now is doing better with other dogs. He adjusted well being in a different environment and was happy to see me when I picked him up”
“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”
“He spoiled our boy! He took him walking daily. We got pictures of him walking and playing with other dogs. He brushed him. We felt our boy was loved and pampered. We would 100% recommend David.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Stanwood is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stanwood
It was our first time using Rover! Sheena was super kind & helpful with the process … she made sure her doggies would get along with Kuzco before we even booked anything! Thankfully, the 3 of them ended up playing well together at the doggie park & it solidified our decision to board him for two weeks with her family :) Kuzco came back to us super healthy and happy from his stay with Sheena! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a great experience & we would definitely use her again!
Katie is amazing! I have used Rover for years, and she is truly above and beyond. She's very intelligent, love animals, knows how to treat them and what they need, is calm and effective and reassuring and loving with my dogs. And they feel it. I really can't rate her highly enough. I can't say that after years of leaving various dogs for boarding in homes, her Home and her Care were above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. This is the first time I have left my rescue pups, one of them, blind, in a boarding home for several days. And it's truly the first time in all those years that I have not been anxious and worried about how my pups were doing. That is a level of trust and confidence I place in this woman. Thank you, katie! And thank you so much to your beautiful daughter for helping out and giving my pups lots of love Suzanne

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stanwood on Rover is $45.15 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 2,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stanwood. 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.
89% of Stanwood 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 Stanwood 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 Stanwood 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 Stanwood.
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 Stanwood 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.
