“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!”
“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.”
“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 was amazing. She was caring and gentle with our puppy. She sent updates with pics of Pebbles. We really appreciate her. We were able to enjoy our vacation with worrying too much. She put our minds at ease. Will definitely use her again.”
“We are so grateful that our precious boxer Lulu was able to stay with Monica while we were on vacation! She was given care, attention, surroundings, and activities that were not only far better than any kennel could give, but probably better than we manage to provide ourselves. And Monica sent wonderful daily notes and pictures of all the fun we were missing. We have promised Lulu that we'll work harder to please her, so that maybe she won't miss Monica so much!”
“David has watched my doodle Cleo a couple times now and she always has a blast with him! He makes sure she gets plenty of walks, play time and attention. He makes sure to send daily updates and photos of how she’s doing and has been very flexible when my plans have changed last minute. I will book him every time he’s available!!”
“Gracie and I knew almost immediately that Marshel would be the right place for Gracie to stay while I went on vacation. I this was our first time with Rover. Marshel sent photos daily and eased my anxiety about being away from my girl. I highly recommend Marshel.”
“Ashley was awesome for Rufus! She sent plenty of updates and was very communicative throughout. Very nice and clean home with kids to play with which I'm sure Rufus loved.”
“Deidre is the best! She took care of our two very energetic dogs for four days and it went great! Deidre is an excellent communicator and a wonderful dog whisperer. We’ll definitely be asking for her to care for the dogs again.”
“Thank you, Linda for taking such great care of Mugsy! You made us feel as though you treated him as your own which allowed us to be at peace during our vacation. We loved all the daily photos & notes! We will definitely entrust Mugsy to you again! We highly recommend!”
“Michelle was amazing! We loved getting update photos throughout our dogs stay, and loved hearing how loved he was while we were gone. We’ll be using Michelle for future trips!!”
“Great sitter and huge backyard for the dogs to play. Jeremy and his family are amazing, Shadow was happy during drop off, during stay and pick up. Could not recommend him more! Definitely will book again in the future.”
“Jill and Aaron were amazingly attentive and kind sitters for our senior Pomeranian with a special diet and medication. They answered any questions we had, and were happy to listen to any info that would help them to better understand our dog’s old-man quirks. They have a great place for dogs to hang and relax, we would highly recommend using their services!”
“Stephanie and her husband were incredible care takers and looked after our girls as if they were their own. We got daily pictures and updates on their well-being. We will always try to get them to watch our animals in the future!”
“Shalini was very gracious and understanding of our dog's anxiety while we were away. We appreciate her taking good care of Otus and letting him lounge around like he was at home!”
“Very helpful in providing constant feedback and photos. We needed additional input for Apollos training and were very pleased on receiving frequent notes and also a good summary when we picked him up. Looking forward for next visit.”
“Our girls are always so happy after staying with Nicole! I think they are starting to enjoy being there more than at our house! They immediately run up to the door when we arrive and have tried to even run back inside when we pick them up. Thank you Nicole for always making it so we don’t have to worry that our girls are getting the best care and are always having a blast with you and the other dogs! Can’t recommend Nicole enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stanwood
Sheena and her family really seemed to like our two dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her because she’s got a lot of experience with dogs and grooming and training. They were not anxious at all when we picked them up as they have been before we’ve left them with other Pet Sitter’s. They assimilated right back into their life after three weeks of being away without any problems. And we have had problems before when we’ve picked our dogs up and they’ve been very anxious and shaking. But I think she was great. I would have absolutely no problem leaving with her them with her again.
I wish I could give a 10/10!! Alexis is amazing and so sweet! She took such amazing care of our pups! We were nervous leaving our 2 year old German pointer for the first time, but she keep such great communication and sent pictures and updates everyday!!! We will definitely be having her watch them again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Stanwood is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,068 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Stanwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
