“This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!”
“I am thrilled to have come across Kana. Since we are only here for the summer, I needed someone to look after my energetic 11-month-old pug, Pedro. He had a fantastic time with Kana and Brian! Thank you so much for taking care of him, we are very grateful!”
“Always works with our sometimes sudden and inconvenient schedule changes. Was able to help us out very last minute and our pups just LOVE it over there. It’s like a vacation for our dogs. Thanks again, Jeremy!”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”
“The time Rendi spent with you was second to home. Rendi fit right in...right down to sleeping with you. Thankyou for taking her, being good for her and you will see Rendi again. ❤️”
“Lizzy was fantastic for our loving, anxious pup! From our first meeting through pick up, Lizzy's kindness and care showed through - we knew our boy would be in good hands. We also had great feedback and piece of mind with pictures of our pup chillin' - a sure sign he had found his person and felt secure! Thank you Lizzy -we'll be back for sure!”
“Anita was really wonderful with our shih tzu Hunter. She gave him lots of individual attention and was careful to follow our instructions. She kept in contact with us frequently via text, sending status reports and candid pictures of him as he went about his day. She has several cats and two dogs and he did very well with all of them. It was helpful that during our initial meet-n-greet she introduced herself to him first outside her home. Then we went inside and she gave him ample time to spend in the environment with her pets. Once he came over for his actual stay he settled in quite nicely and had a great time. Anita was lovely to work with and we'd definitely send Hunter to her again.”
“Our dog had the best time!! We received constant updates and are so happy to know he was so well taken care of!! Will definitely be leaving him with Mariana and her family again :)”
“I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)”
“Taylor watched our stubborn and moody Beagle. She handled it with patience and grace. She provided so many pictures and videos to show us how he was doing. Taylor went above and beyond in helping him work with other dogs. Our Crosby came home happy and obviously well cared for. We are thankful for her and her willingness to care so well for him. We highly recommend her!”
“Everyone wants someone that will treat their dog like we do. I am a traveling nurse and sometimes Sam The Dog, my traveling companion, gets anxious during our next move and assignment schedule. Peggy is the one Sam and I look for but rarely find! She will treat your fur baby like her own! She sends me pictures of Sam hanging out with Grace, her fur baby, as well as Sam making his way up to her room to nap in her own bed! When I drop him off at her home for daycare, he doesn’t even turn around to say “good-bye”. Perfect! He is loved and happy there. I recently got called into work for a night shift. Peggy came and picked him up for me so he wouldn’t be alone! Peggy is “PAWSITIVELY” awesome!”
“Mollie did a fantastic job. Our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay. Mollie sent lots of update with photos of our dog happily playing and hanging around the house. Easy to recommend Mollie.”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Bella usually has a hard time and is very anxious while I’m gone. Victoria took amazing care of her sent lots and lots of photos and Bella didn’t seem anxious at all. Will definitely be using Victoria again.”
“Lesly and her husband were great! They were flexible for pick-up and drop-off, and it sounded/looked like my guy had a great time during his stay. When we left, their daughter said goodbye to "Gussie" because he's a similar mix to their dog - or maybe all dogs are "Gussie". :) We've already booked another stay in August and are looking forward to it!”
“Andrea was so good with our dog Emmy! Emmy loved her! It was such a relief to know Emmy was happy, safe and well taken care of while we traveled for the holidays! She provided regular updates with pictures and videos that helped me know Emmy was doing great! I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!!!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“I have all great things to say about Priscilla! We booked her for the first time last minute. She was able to find time during the week for our dogs to meet her pup and her. She has a fantastic back yard for lots of play. She was super communicative and best of all the boys loved her! We have 2 cattle dog mix puppies that can be a bit of a handful at times and she managed them like a dream. We will be booking with her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Steilacoom
Louann is the best! She had my older dog at her home for two weeks. He was showered with love, had happy, slow walks, and even got to sleep in her room! She asked all the right questions beforehand, texted me when another question came up, and sent sweet pup pictures to make me miss him even more. I would absolutely recommend her for a home stay, or just regular dog walks. She pays careful attention, makes them feel very cared for, and gave me peace of mind.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Steilacoom is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 2,296 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 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.
95% of sitters in Steilacoom 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 Steilacoom home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
