“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”

About: Hello! We are Pat and Amy Having recently retired, we are excited to enter a new chapter of life focused on caring for animals. We have been happily married for 15 years, and our home has always been defined by the love of family and pets. We have three kids that have recently graduated from college and are starting their adult lives which frees our time up for other adventures. One of the very first things we did as a married couple was adopt our rescue dog, Sedona. We spent 15 wonderful years hiking, playing in the yard and showering Sedona with love before she sadly passed away last year. We also shared our home with a wonderful cat who loved playing in the backyard and cuddling with us. While we deeply miss our own pets, we have decided to focus on caring for other people’s pets for now. Because we are retired, your pets will have our full, undivided attention and companionship. We understand that pets are cherished family members, and leaving them can be hard. Having raised a rescue dog and a cat together, we are experienced in understanding animal body language, maintaining consistent routines, and offering patient care. We love the outdoors, hiking, and exploring new areas, making us the perfect match for active dogs who love long walks. However, we are just as content relaxing at home, meaning your lap-loving cats or senior dogs will have plenty of cozy cuddle time. We are respectful, clean, and dedicated to keeping your home secure and your pets completely at ease. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and care for your pets. We are both retired, and unless we are traveling we should have time to care for pets. We both have SUV;s, so transporting pets should not be a concern. When watching animals in our house, we ensure that the doors or screens are closed to ensure safety. While we do not have a fenced yard, we live in a very wooded area so taking dogs for a walk is easy. Dog's would never be unattended or off-leash.

Tami and her husband have beautiful home for dogs to play in and at and treat your dog like family. You will not regret having Tami keep your fur animal. I would use Tami again for our vacation pet sitter. I am not disappointed at all.”

“Dear humans, Rover won’t let me give my new friends enough stars. This was my first stay overnight away from home and WOW did they keep me busy all weekend. They let me door ALL the exploring, sniffing, ball chasing, toy killing, and lounging in the sun. And they were totally flexible in coordinating pickups and drop offs with my human. I can’t wait for my next trip to maple falls with the sunroof open. —Psy ?”

She sent photos and kept me up to date on how they were doing, which allowed me to get away for a night without any worries. I’m very thankful I found Sara when I did, and I will definitely be asking her to watch my dogs again in the future. Thank you, Sara!!”

Desmond was great with our pup Phoebe, we had a sitter cancel last minute and Desmond was so flexible with us to step in. Our pup has a lot of separation anxiety and he made her feel right at home, we knew from the pictures and updates he sent that he had earned her trust which is frankly not an easy task. Very grateful to have found Desmond and his sweet Fern and cat who are new fur friends to our girl! Will def utilize him as a sitter again.

Laura asked all the right questions which insured me that she was conscientious about my dog’s care. She sent informative updates that were reflective of pepper’s daily schedule. Laura responded to my questions, a timely manner answering all of them as I navigated using Rover for the first time. When I picked up my dog, she thought twice about leaving and was ready to adopt Laura’s home as her own!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sudden Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sudden Valley is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sudden Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

94% of sitters in Sudden Valley 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 Sudden Valley 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 Sudden Valley.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sudden Valley. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Sudden Valley 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
