“Jeremy gladly took our dog for 5 days when we were out of town. The historic heatwave coincided with our trip, and he was able to provide me lots of reassurance that our dog and others would be well cared for in the heat. My kids were overjoyed when Jeremy sent photos regularly of our dog while we were away. Jeremy was very responsive to messages and questions, and he was very friendly. We are so happy to have a trusted person who can provide pet sitting for us in the future.”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Latto, this past weekend! It was my first time being away from her, so naturally I was a little nervous, but Rebecca made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly very caring with animals. She kept me updated, took great care of Latto, and treated her like she was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. When I came back, everything was perfect and Latto was happy and well cared for. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with puppies, I highly recommend Rebecca. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“Our 10 month old Lab, Winter, had a good time with Kana and her dogs. Lana was great at sending photos and updates and adapted to a little more puppy energy than her house is used to. They are so close to us, reasonably priced , and a good place - so we will be back!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child, and started doing pet care for neighbors as soon as I could. Caring for pets continued through college, getting connected through friends to walk dogs in between classes. When I moved to the PNW, I discovered Rover and have been sitting and walking ever since. The recent gap in my services was from moving down to University Place and then focusing on my own dog, Winston, for the first two years after his adoption. I am only offering walks and drop-ins (no long term or overnight care). My pup Winston will stay at home whenever I am booked for services so that I can give your pet(s) 100% of my attention. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels and have experience with quite a few behavioral concerns as well. I am very comfortable working with pets that struggle with: - leash reactivity - anxiety around people or other animals - medical issues, including those that require medication administration or emergent care - pain and mobility issues due to aging - food sensitivities/diet restrictions I also love working on dog training whether that’s loose leash walking techniques or just having your pup learn or practice tricks as a part of a drop in visit. I know the feeling of leaving your pet with a Rover sitter for the first time, especially when they have a history of medical issues or anxiety, so I always send detailed updates with photos to keep you at ease. I’m so excited to be starting my services again and hope to meet you and your pets soon! I am taking a break from work before beginning a fully remote role as a consultant in a few months, offering me a ton of flexibility to set my own schedule. Once I begin working again, advance notice will make it easier for me to schedule my meetings around Rover bookings. I live in home with my partner in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I typically refrain from off leash activities, interactions with other dogs/people, or rigorous activities like hiking or running unless I have permission from the owners and repeat experience with the pet.
“Val is so helpful, flexible, and caring. she sent us daily picture updates and was opened minded when we changed drop off time. it was not easy to find someone that is comfortable to care for a dog that had unique medical needs”
“Lôc is amazing! He took such great care of our baby boy. He sent daily videos and pictures, it really put me at ease especially being the first time boarding our pup. He came back to us clean and happy. Our boy will definitely be going back seeing how much he loved being there.”
“We had a great experience! Pick up and drop off were easy and convenient, and Colin communicated well throughout the stay. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would happily book with him again!”
“Ren took awesome care of my dog Scully! ❤️ She sent me updates everyday with pictures of him, I felt super secure and comfortable leaving him with her. He didn’t even want to leave her house haha. Thank you so much! I’ll book again!”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond to care for our senior lab (14 years old)! We were able to bring his bed for his comfort, but Elizabeth also had many of her own beds for him to choose from. She assisted him outdoors when he needed a boost due to my dog’s limited mobility. She gave him lots of breaks for social time and fresh air. She followed his specific meal schedule with supplements and treats. She sent updates with pictures to ease our mind. We look forward to having Elizabeth care for our senior pup again. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“This is our 3rd time leaving Zoey with Jennifer and I truly could not say enough positive things. Zoey always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for! Jennifer's entire family is so sweet to our girl and we are happy to have found someone trustworthy and reliable.”
“Marisol is genuinely our favorite sitter that we’ve met! She and Milo have been so incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The amount of relief and excitement I feel knowing that my pup is not only cared for but spoiled and loved is amazing. My pup is excited to get there and when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. THAT is the telltale sign of a wonderful human and home! Dolce 🩷’s Milo (and Marisol!)”
“I always feel like watson is in the best hands with Joey and watson always comes back happy!! Thanks Joey we really appreciate you and watson is already ready for his next vacation 😊”
“Keana was a life saver this weekend and she and Milo just clicked. I was nervous about their interaction since it was the first time meeting but milo was a good boy per usual. We will definitely see her again ❤️”
“Our first time using Kristine was wonderful! My doggie has anxiety and she took wonderful care of her. She sent several pics of her playing and snuggling while I was gone. When I picked her up she was happy and went back to Kristine for pets even though I was there. I will definitely use her again!”
“Ashleigh was great with our dog Jackson. We did the meet and greet the weekend before and she made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her and her three dogs. Ashleigh sent us regular updates and Jackson was having a great time, he was happy and healthy and everything was ready when we came to pick up. We will definitely try to use Ashleigh again.”
“This was our two large breed dogs first stay with Odalys. We went out of town for 6 night cruise and were inaccessible most of the time, but thankfully everything went great! I really appreciated all the updates and communication. I highly recommend her services! Thanks again Odalys!😊”
“Lena and her entire family was wonderful taking care of Harley!! Her children were so gentle and sweet with him. Honestly, I don't think he wanted to come home. We will definitely be a repeat customer of Lena's!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing! I have never left my dog with another person who is not family before, and I was honestly a nervous wreck coming up to my trip. However Leanne was an absolute god send. I got updates with pictures as often as I liked, my dog got to tag along on hikes & picnics, and I felt 100% at ease. My Karma was taken care of like royalty & I would recommend Leanne to everybody! 500 stars ⭐️ 10,000% would book again ❤️.”

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and I really appreciated that she required a meet-and-greet beforehand with her own dogs. It showed me that she genuinely cares about the well-being and safety of every dog in her care—not just filling bookings. She came up with a thoughtful plan to make sure my dog would be comfortable and safe with the other dogs, which gave me so much confidence leaving him with her. Throughout his stay, Jennifer was friendly, communicative, and sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. I could tell my dog was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Louann was an amazing sitter for our dog! She familiarized herself with our dog’s likes, behaviors and personality. Louann communicated regularly while she watched our dog’s likes and sent plenty of pictures of their activities and adventures. I highly recommend Louann to anyone for dog related services. Louann truly adopted our “fur baby” and loved her like her own. Top notch care and love will be given to your puppy too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Steilacoom on Rover is $44.4 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 2,327 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Steilacoom. 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.
95% of Steilacoom 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 Steilacoom 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 Steilacoom 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 Steilacoom.
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 Steilacoom 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.
