“Andre watched our two golden retriever babies last minute after we had to find alternate plans for the dogs right before we flew out on vacation. We are so appreciative of her! She took great care of them daily, sent us photos, played with them and was a great sitter. Highly recommend and we’d hire her again any day!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Sara was a great sitter. She was able to help us out in very short notice. Sara is very communicative and responsive to messages which is very helpful. Sara took wonderful care of our dog Pilly and was available for early pick up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy sitter.”
“Anaiya LOVES Josh and Mario, so much that she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. She was excited to see me and then went back to Mario and rolled over to show her belly 😆 They made sure she had plenty of exercise and time hanging out in the backyard. Will definitely use them again for my next trip!”
“Maria was spectacular in every way. Our shy rescue felt at ease with Maria and her pack instantly. Layla was relaxed and happy upon pickup. We appreciated Maria’s communication, flexibility, & dog care knowledge. I will rebook with Maria without hesitation.”

“Quinten has been excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town. He is regularly sending photos and videos and is quick to respond to texts. He usually has quite a few dogs at a time and they all seem to have a blast. Highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a sitter!”
“Yuna was an absolute gem to have caring for Pixel! From the start she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly put his wellbeing first. She always checked with us before giving him any food or treats, which meant a lot given how careful we are with his diet. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. Pixel got plenty of exercise and came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell Yuna genuinely loves what she does. Reliable, communicative, and caring. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely book her again! A special shout out to Mocha who was an Excellent doggo, he and pixel became good friends :)”
“Absolutely amazing! We are so thankful that we found Daria to watch Campbell while we went away. She is flexible, communicative and such a genuine dog lover. I felt so comfortable the entire time knowing that our guy was being cared for and having fun. Thank you SO much Daria!”
“Shay is kind and a great communicator. She sent pictures every day. Lily had a great time watching the birds and squirrels in Shay’s yard. I could tell Lily felt comfortable and she had such a great time, she didn’t really even want to come home!😂”

Ashley did a great job! Our pup Bagel is very anxious and she seemed to relax very quickly and adapt to her stay! She came back to us well cared for and I appreciate all of the updates Ashley sent about Bagel while we were away. We are excited to book with Ashley again next time we need someone to watch Bagel!
Our young dog just wrapped up his third stay at Xilian’s place this weekend, and it was another great experience. Xilian sent regular photo updates, and you can really see how comfortable our pup is there- he was treated like part of the family! He had a blast hanging out with Xilian, her family, and the other dogs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! :-)
Andrea was very flexible with our times and great at communicating. I appreciated her sending a picture of my dogs. Although I would have loved to see more pics and hear how they were doing and adjusting, but overall grateful for the care and time she gave. I would come back again!
Jermaine was great with Lulu! Communication was always incredibly quick since my initial message. He has a really good setup with multiple areas for the dogs to spend their time, as well as a backyard for them to run around and play. Lulu is a timid dog, but she felt very welcome at his place, and Jermaine made sure she was comfortable throughout her stay.
Josh is a Rockstar Rover! We are usually worried our pup won't want to say goodbye to Josh at the end of his stay because he always has such a wonderful time. Josh also did a pickup and dropoff for us this time, and it was really easy and helped save us a lot of time on our busy travel days.
Rya is such an animal lover who was absoluyely amazing with my small poodle mix, Rachel. She is a 5 yr old rescue that I have only had 6 months and she has some separation/anxiety issues, so I was worried about leaving her...but Rya quickly won her trust. Rya sent updates and was EXCELLENT with communication and sending pictures regularly. I highly recommend her. I know I will use her again!
Tosha was soooooo wonderful with my quirky little bull terrier, Tor. She was super thorough at our initial meet and greet and took such good care of him while I was out of town. He likely got more exercise than when he is home with me :) she sent daily updates and very cute photos! Thank you thank you Tosha! 💖
Mylyn took such great care of our old pug. He’s almost 13 years old, has one eye and mostly cannot hear. He has regular medication needs as well. She sent us updates everyday we were gone and always a photo. We were gone two weeks and we did not worry once about him. We would highly recommend Mylyn and her excellent and attentive care. Also, our other care fell through a week out from our trip and she took us on short notice which we so appreciated. We will use her again when we travel! We highly recommend her especially for an older dog.
Natalie and her family watched my two Pomeranians for a week and half. My dogs were given so much love and attention it was like they were on vacation too. I was able to be worry free while away knowing Natalie was taking care of my two girls. She followed all care instructions and kept me updated with pics. I definitely recommend Natalie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tukwila is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $87 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 October 2026, there are 5,786 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tukwila. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% of sitters in Tukwila 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 Tukwila 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 Tukwila.
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 Tukwila 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 , 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 .
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.
