“Bobbi was wonderful with our golden. We received many photos / videos of her playing. She made lots of friends and even got to play in the water hose (her favorite). She also followed her food / meds instructions perfectly. Definitely recommend Bobbi :)”
“We have two little dogs , one of which is handicapped hence we were very selective in the process of choosing someone to board them with; Kana and her husband were fantastic!! They send pictures to us and bathed them and even washed their bedding!! Can’t thank them enough for caring for our fur babies while we were on vacation. We are definitely booking with them again.”
“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.”
“Jeremy watched my dog Shadow for about 2 weeks and he had a BLAST! I loved the photos updating me on how he was doing and every photo Shadow looked so happy and well taken care of. It seems like he was never bored with all the other dogs to play with and endless cuddles?”
“Becky is exactly perfect for my situation! My dog thrives when he can be included in whatever is going on, and Becky and her three boys made my FOMO 3-year old poodle feel so at home that I think he misses them and didn't miss me! He followed Becky around and she took him to the dog park and she managed his broken leg splint like a pro! Thank you so much, Becky! We'll be back!”
“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”
“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!”
“Tory provided excellent care for our 1 year old dog. He communicated often and sent pictures that showed our puppy on some beautiful, foresty walks. We will definitely leave our dog in his care 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! :)”
“We can tell pur dog was well taken care of by the sitter and the family. Our dog almoat seemed like ahe didnt want to come home! Great sitter and we will use them next time for sure.”
“Duri did such a wonderful job while when she cared for our lab while we were out of town for more than a week. Our lab is very people-shy, with some quirky behavior, but Duri took the time to get to know him, allowing him to warm up to her at his own pace. She took him for long walks each day and made him feel comfortable and loved. By the time we picked him up, it was easy to see just how happy he had been during his stay with her. We also really appreciate the pictures Duri sent us so that we could see our lab was doing well and receiving the best care, which gave us the peace of mind we needed.”
“Molly and family were fantastic! I received constant updates and photos of Arrow having a good time. We have used thier service multiple times and been very happy with it!”
“Lesly and her family were the best host for our girl! They made her feel so at home over the holidays, sent periodic updates and pictures and made the whole process so easy. We would 100% book again with her!”
“Spruce loved hanging out with Heather and her family! She had a great time and came back happy and tired. Heather provided lots of updates throughout the day and made sure Spruce had a safe and fun day!”
“Andrea is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our senior dog Charlie. She is so attentive to his needs and makes sure he is happy and loved. Andrea’s frequent updates and pictures put us at ease knowing Charlie is enjoying his doggie vacation as much as we are enjoying ours. We feel so lucky to have found Andrea to watch our sweet old guy!”
“Tobi was GREAT!! At the meet and greet I knew she would give Shorty the personalized loving and care she needed. I really like that she had an older dog the same age as mine, so bonding could happen and it did! Throughout my trip I would get pictures of Shorty's stay when she was with Tobi that let me rest assured that I had made the right decision. Tobi will be my pick again when I'm out of town!”
“Kristin and her family were great! Our large dog Sumo had a fantastic time and was taken care of with love by Kristin. She made everything very easy for us and was flexible with the pick up time as our travels extended a bit. We will happily be rebooking 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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 , 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.
