“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.”
“My dog loved his vacation with Dana and the family!! He was so comfortable he didn’t want to come home… not kidding! I am happy to know my dog has a new vacation spot when we are away for our travels.”
“This is the 2nd time we have left our pup with Jennifer. She is very easy to communicate with and sends pictures frequently. Our dog loves playing with her cocker spaniels. He makes himself right at home and Jennifer and her husband are always so sweet to him. Taking care of a 120 lb dog can be challenging, but they do an excellent job. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to others.”
“Ethan did a wonderful job with my boy. He hadn’t been boarded on his own before and he had a great time! Ethan sent me updates with videos and photos each day. He was flexible with us picking up earlier than anticipated. Will definitely have him watch Enzo again!”
“Kana was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Boise! Over the course of two weeks Kana sent me photos and an update almost daily of Boise, they were wonderful! While hosting Boise for Christmas they even gave her a present and sent cute photos of her dressed up. Boise had a blast at their home and I’m so grateful to have a place for Boise to go when we are out of town.”
“Kelly has been fantastic! My pup Toshi has stayed with her a couple of nights and she has been so accommodating! She has sent me photos and updates which definitely puts me at ease. She has a large yard and her cute pup Khloe also keeps my dog company. You could tell she loves animals! I cannot recommend her enough, and I will always try and reach out if I need to book another stay for my pup. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Fawn was great with Lola. My wife was a little nervous leaving the pup for 9 days. Wide open space for her to run and Lola and a companion to play with to boot. We really appreciated the daily photos.”
“Whenever I leave my Prince with Jeremy I am never worried that he won’t be loved on like at home…the pictures Jeremy sends are so awesome and I know my boy is loved in Jeremy’s home!”
“This is our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. In the past we have always used family or friends of the family to watch our dog. It could not have gone better!! He was well taken care of and we even got pictures sent to us. I don’t think he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up. I would highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Dee Anne is so great with my pup and he always has a great time! She’s communicative with me, so thoughtful and supportive of his needs and high energy, and Max gets so excited to spend time with her which is so sweet. It’s a lovely experience every time!”
“Meredith was incredible! I will definitely be returning to her when we need care again. It was evident the genuine care for my pup, and the communication throughout the stay was top tier. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands/ on his own little vacation while I was gone!”
“Great boarding experience with Molly. She was friendly, responsive, and flexible. She took amazing care of Rusty and kept me smiling with updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her for future boarding!”
“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”
“We are so thankful for Jena watching Chief! She took care of him like family and made me feel so confident that my pup was being well cared for! She communicated well before and during his stay. I will definitely use Jena again for Chief’s care!”
“Fabulous experience! I was super worried about leaving my pup, as he is a bit submissive and can regress pretty quickly. Elizabeth was amazing with him, he quickly decided he liked her and seemed very comfortable in her house. Elizabeth kept me updated, sent me pictures and treated my guy just the way I do (super spoiled). He came home happy, tired and for the first time, I didn’t worry the whole time I was away. I can’t thank her enough, very positive experience!”
“Kaitlin took great care of my dog, Moose. He absolutely loved playing with Kaitlin's puppy and seemed to be very comfortable/happy in the photo updates that Kaitlin provided throughout the weekend. Kaitlin seemed well-attuned to Moose's needs and I would definitely have her sit for me again.”
“Dani, thank you! You gifted us peace of mind. We appreciated knowing that our Jack Dog was treated like a member of your family. For others considering booking with Dani: she was responsive, flexible, and kind. Her home and property are gorgeous, clean, and safe for our fur babies. Her two dogs were friendly and welcoming to our Jack Dog.”
“Ren and his family were exceptional caregivers for our very very active puppy. They were thoughtful with everything they did with our dog. They’re wonderfully responsive, professional and clearly have years of experience with dogs. Ren is truly a dog whisperer. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Steilacoom
Bobbi did such a fantastic job with our pups while we were gone for the week. During their stay, our older gal had an upset stomach and Bobbi went above and beyond to help her get back on the right track. Constant updates, photos and funny stories about our fur babies made it so much easier to have a peace of mind while traveling. If it's 1 day or 10 days, I highly suggest booking with Bobbi!
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 for Dog Boarding in Steilacoom on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,308 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.
