“Angela and her family are the best! I am so grateful to have found her and I always feel good and safe when I leave my precious pup in her care. She’s worth every cent!”
“I was blown away by April's positive attitude and dedication to caring for my golden retriever. She meticulously created a safe, pack-like environment where the dogs felt at home, and the areas were exceptionally clean. Even more impressive were her plans to enhance her already wonderful outdoor space. As a side note, April is a certified dog trainer. Shortly after dropping off my dog and running errands in town, I noticed her diligently and patiently leash-training my dog during a walk, as my GPS took me back past her location. April never mentioned this task on Rover or in person; she simply did it on her own time, free of charge, without boasting. Her quiet integrity and humility are extraordinarily impressive. Best Rover experience so far!”
“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”
“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!”
“Cynthia did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”
“Sheri is a great sitter! She watched our energetic young Lab while we were on our honeymoon. She sent us photos of our dog every day, which we loved. She kept our pup busy, walking her often and playing fetch in the backyard. We arranged a meet-and-greet with her beforehand, so our dog could meet her dog, and that helped put our minds at ease. Sheri asked many questions during the meet-and-greet, and we could tell that she cared a lot. We recommend Sheri highly, and we would definitely use her as a sitter again.”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Sarah was great as usual! Kawai has a great time! She was very flexible with the last minute booking when my younger pup required surgery urgently! Thanks so much Sarah!”
“They were wonderful with our little pomeranian. I was worried about leaving her overnight because she gets separation anxiety, but they sent me lots of videos and pictures and it looks like she had a blast! I would definitely recommend them, they are such a kind and caring couple.”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“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.”
“Teri is Amazing. Kind, gentle and very caring. I highly recommend her. Addie told me she never wants to go anywhere else!! Thank you so much Teri. Nikki and Addie”
“It's my first time using Rover, and I absolutely hit the jackpot! Kelsey made the whole experience so easy and relaxed. She took excellent care of my pup. Can't wait to do this again.”
“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!”
“Alexis and her family took such good care of my Vinny while I was out of town. He had such a great time! She kept in frequent contact with me over the course of his stay and I was updated with pictures and videos as well. I couldn’t be more satisfied. I truly appreciate the loving care she gave my little man Vinny and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommendable!!”
“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”
“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
We had an amazing experience leaving our two dogs at her home this weekend! From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in great hands. She showered them with so much affection and gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates and adorable photos throughout their stay. Her home was super welcoming, and our dogs came back happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stanwood on Rover is $46.37 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 2,091 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.
