“I wish I could give Bobbi more than 5 stars!!! We had a home project going and because of an unreliable timeline for when it would be finished, I kept having to extend her stay. Bobbi was more than accommodating and accepted Shaka's extension. She kept me well informed and sent me pictures multiple times a day. Bobbi was very responsive to my messages and got back to me so quickly. Shaka was spoiled this past week!! She loved being there, I can tell. 😊 We will only be booking with Bobbi for Shaka's boarding in the future. 🥰 Thank you so much again!!! ❤️”
“We were nervous about leaving Jack as this was his first time being boarded. From the photos he was very happy and loves getting to play with other dogs. Kana and Brian are very caring and you can tell they enjoy what they do.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Molly was incredible with our Maple! Constant updates and photos. Can tell Maple was relaxed and spoiled during her stay. Can’t thank Molly enough for being so great with our girl!”
“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! :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“Taylor was seriously the best! I could tell that Frankie had the best time with her and her dog Rue. You can tell that she really loves animals and loves to spoil them! I didn't have to stress at all because I knew Frankie was having a great time on her own "vacation". She was great with communication and sent me the cutest photos of Frankie. Whenever I'm in the area, Taylor will be the first person I call if I need sitter again!”
“I could not have been more pleased with the care my fur baby, Toby, received from Tobi. First, we had a meet and greet where Toby was introduced to the resident dogs. They were as welcoming as Tobi and her husband! On the day I dropped Toby off for his stay, he went right in without any nervousness, not even looking back at me. Tobi sent me updates with photos almost daily, and I could see Toby was blending right into the family (he slept on the bed with everyone at night.) I will definitely call upon Tobi for care of my Toby in the future. Great experience!”
“Heather took amazing care with our boys, Stanley and Max once again! She’s so wonderful with our boys and they are always right at home with her. We will definitely have her keep our boys in the future!!”
“Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.”
“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!”
“Loc was such a joy to work with. Our dog loved him and and the time they spent together. We received daily communication, pictures and videos to show how our pup was doing. You can tell Loc enjoys being with all the dogs and that they all feel comfortable around him. We look forward to continue using Loc for our puppy housing needs!”
“Emily is fantastic! We felt so confident and happy leaving our fur baby in her care. Emily sent pictures, videos and detailed updates about Zara throughout her stay. Our dog has anxiety and a complex medication schedule and Emily accommodated all of her needs. She and Brent gave Zara tons of playtime, exercise and attention. They even designed special games to keep her entertained! Zara came back to us happy and calm - it was refreshing not to worry at all about her while we were away. We’d use Emily every time if we lived in the area - don’t hesitate to let her care for your pup!! Thank you Emily, Z misses you!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Priscilla was amazing to work with! She answered all our questions and made us feel good about leaving our Pup with her for the week. Priscilla sent us lots of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Always amazing! We have used Kristine quite a few times and it’s always perfect! Our dog always comes back so happy and she always sends us lots of updates. 100% recommend!”

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!

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.

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.

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.
