Bobbi is seriously amazing. She sent photos and updates of my boys multiple times a day. Before the boys stayed with her she facilitated a very controlled meet and great, let me see where the boys would be staying and playing. It was so appreciated and I left knowing my boys were going to be in the best hands and totally spoiled. 10/10.

Dina and Irma were great, I needed a sitter last minute and they were wonderful enough to watch my pup. They have a nice backyard she was able to enjoy and also had a large area for her downstairs to relax and chill. Definitely recommend!

Loved Dana from the start! She watched our 1 year old English bulldog for 2 weeks for us and so glad we went through her. She dealt with numerous date changes (thank you military) and was still very gracious. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for watching our crazy pup for us!

Jennifer did an amazing job with Silo. It was my first time leaving her overnight with a Rover, and Jennifer methodically acclimated Silo to her space, introduced to her to her own pets and made she had all the information she needed to take good care of her. It was very confidence inspiring, and I got tons of pictures of my pup while I was gone. Overall a great experience, I would definitely leave Si with Jennifer again anytime!

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! 🐾

Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.

Meredith was fantastic with Delta and gave her all the extra attention my very anxious girl needed during her stay. She understands dog needs, incorporated a slow and safe introduction to the other dogs present, and was quick to respond to any messages. Delta made a few friends, enjoyed playing with the other pups, and was exhausted by the time she was picked up. Will absolutely be boarding with Meredith in the near future.

We left our 8 month old Golden Retriever for the first time this weekend. As a first time doggy mom, I was SO nervous!!! I had full confidence in Jeremy being able to take care of Ralphie because of all of the amazing reviews. Well, the reviews are no lie because Jeremy exceeded our expectations. Jeremy is excellent at communication and we loved to see the daily pics and videos of our boy!! Ralphie looked like he was having such a fun time. He made sure to update us on his behavior and how he was getting along with other pups. We will definitely be using Jeremy in the future and are planning to let Ralphie go play at his house more often for doggy daycare! Thank you, Jeremy!

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!

This is our second boarding experience with Jennifer and she took good care of Blaze! He fit in really well with her doggy crew, she shared so many pictures and messages which helped us feel at ease being away... she even did a custom, adorable Valentines themed photoshoot with Blaze. Really appreciate you Jennifer!

FAQs for Boarding - Steilacoom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Steilacoom on Rover is $44.4 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 2,354 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.

94% 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.
