“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! We boarded our German Shepherd with her for 16 days while we took an extended trip. She communicated with us frequently to let us know how he was doing and sent many pictures, which we greatly appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again.”

“The second I dropped Eddie off I felt comfortable going on my trip. You can tell Heather has a love for animals. Eddie is currently a very energetic puppy which can be a burden on some but Heather handled it was grace. When I picked up Eddie you could just tell he was one happy boy from him stay! Thank you, Heather!”

“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! :)”

She’s great with dogs and I loved how she kept me updated on all of my dogs activities! I would book Mariana again for whenever I need a sitter for my pup.”

“So grateful for last minute dog care! Val truly made our 15 year old pup feel at home and we have the pictures she shared with us to prove it ?Our dog typically doesn’t eat when kenneling (due to anxiety), so when we arrived to pick him up and noticed the majority of his food eaten we were very impressed. Thank you Val for taking such great care of our furry family member!”

They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!”

“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Peggy and Bob were able to watch our three dogs for us while our family took a vacation to Mexico for 5 days. Peggy sent us pictures and playful updates the entire time which was great because our 5 year old daughter had a really tough time saying goodbye to them when we left for vacation. We knew Peggy would take great care of the dogs and our daughter's face lit up when we showed her the photos. She and Bob were really accommodating as we were unable to make our first flight back from San Diego so we ended up picking up our dogs at 11:30 at night. We really appreciate the care they took of our dogs and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of a dog sitter! Thanks again Peggy and Bob.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats! I love to make sure that each pet is comfortable and stress free. I can tailor to each pets needs and can be very flexible! I currently work part time and would love to make a little extra money in doing something I love. I work at a bridal shop for a couple hours each day. So with my free time I would love to care for your animals! I have a fenced yard with one other dog of my own that can keep your pet company. Care for each dog will depend on what each owner wants for them!

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!

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Steilacoom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,357 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Steilacoom. About 92% of Steilacoom sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
