Great experience boarding my dog w Larissa for 3 nights. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy and reassuring. Communication was great the entire time & I really appreciated the daily updates/photos while I was away. My dog can be pretty independent & likes doing his own thing & she really seemed to understand his personality & made him feel comfortable. When he was picked up, he was relaxed, happy & clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Larissa again in the future & I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

We had a fantastic experience with Lahela! Our dog, Buffy, was well cared for during her stay. Lahela provided frequent photo updates and Buffy got to play fetch outside with her daughter. Lahela was also flexible and accommodating when we needed to adjust our schedule, which we greatly appreciated. Most importantly, Buffy seemed completely relaxed and happy in Lahela's care. We wholeheartedly recommend Lahela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We're already looking forward to booking with her again soon!

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!

Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.

Duri was so caring and loving with our boy Cole! She made sure to get him out on walks and let him run around in her yard. She also checked in everyday and gave us huge peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands. She genuinely loves dogs and our little goofball was very at home with her. Would highly recommend her and will definitely rebook her in the future!

About: I grew up surrounded by many animals. When I was 10 I had 4 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, 1 cat and stray farm cats. I spent time working on a farm with my family who taught me how to love and care for animals. I also pet sat throughout high school and later worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I love taking dogs on hikes and fun adventures while their pet parents are away. I even have a dedicated dog room filled with their favorite things to help them feel comfortable, loved, and at home until their family returns. 🏡 I’m a stay at home wife who loves baking, walking, going on hikes, and if I’m not hiking I’m home 24/7, so your dog will always have plenty of attention and care. When a dog stays with me, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. We will also go on plenty of walks and Saturdays are reserved for fun hikes and extra adventures!! I will also annoy you with pictures and videos to update you! 😂💖 I provide a calm, loving home where pets are treated like my family. I follow their regular routines, provide daily walks, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable space so they feel happy while their parents are away.

The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆

Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!

What a blessing to have found Val to watch my boys! I have had issues in the past with separation anxiety escalating to emergency vet visits. This didn't happen at all with Val! Both of my dogs were beyond happy and worn out when I picked them up, a rare thing to happen! She sent daily pics and kept me updated on both of the dogs. It was such a relief to know they were in good and loving hands.

Chris was wonderful with our little ShihTzu. He and his wife answered all of my questions and helped me feel confident in their ability during the meet and greet. We received daily photos and message updates. It was easy to see our dog felt very comfortable in their home and got along with their pays. We will book with him again!

Louann was an amazing sitter for our dog! She familiarized herself with our dog’s likes, behaviors and personality. Louann communicated regularly while she watched our dog’s likes and sent plenty of pictures of their activities and adventures. I highly recommend Louann to anyone for dog related services. Louann truly adopted our “fur baby” and loved her like her own. Top notch care and love will be given to your puppy too!

Star always has such a great time and is worn out when I pick her up! I love that she has room to run and explore, plus she gets a lot of socialization with other pups.

Dana was literally the best dog sitter anyone could ever have. I can’t rave enough about how amazing she and her family are. My dog had a spinal injury when she watched her and had to take many medications. Her beagle nose sniffed out the meds almost every time, but Dana was such a patient angel, she tried about 10 different things including cooking food (!!!!) to get our dog to take the meds. She carried her through the house so she wouldn’t slip on the hardwood portions and kept her activity restrictions to a T. You can tell how much she and her family love animals; she’ll probably care for your babies even better than you do! Seriously can’t sing her praises enough. Bring your animals to Dana, they won’t get better care anywhere else.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Steilacoom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Steilacoom on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 2,400 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Steilacoom. About 91% 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.
