Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★

My dog really enjoys his stay with Yingqi. Yingqi took good care of Domo. She helped us walk Domo and shared lots of cute photos with us. She is also very responsive with questions and tried her best to adapt to our schedules. She even helped Domo clip his nail and have Domo celebrate the birthday together with her puppies. I would definitely recommend Yingqi to all dog parents who are looking for caring and responsible caregivers!

Eric and his family did an amazing job taking care of our fun-loving pup, Aster! Eric sent lots of beautiful photos and kept us up to date with how she was doing, always checked in with questions, and communicated very well with us when she was feeling sick one day of her visit. It was such a relief to know she was in such good hands during our two long weeks away.

Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.

Peter was the best dog sitter I could have found for my pup. Luke is 14 yo, so leaving him with someone isn’t always easy. Peter made the whole process incredibly smooth and friendly, and he made Luke feel right at home. He even took him on little adventures with Nova, while being very mindful of Luke’s needs and limits. Not only did he make Luke feel like part of his pack, but he also gave me great peace of mind with daily updates and photos where I could clearly see that Luke (even though he probably missed me) couldn’t have been in better hands. I’m especially grateful to Peter because when my return travel plans got complicated and the schedule didn’t quite line up, he was extremely flexible and helped me so much, making sure Luke got home safe and sound. Without a doubt, he will be my go-to person to take care of Luke the next time I have to travel.

We left our 2 yr old lab puppy - Butter with Alexa. Alexa was considerate about needs of Butter as a young and energetic puppy and she made sure her house was safe for Butter. While staying with Alexa, Butter went on new adventures, made new dog and cat friends and a wonderful time staying home and playing with her daughter. Thanks Alexa for taking good care of Butter.

Ningning is a great sitter, and her own dog, Chase, is a sweetie. She provided lots of walks and playtime for our active dog, Murphy, and accommodated Murphy’s schedule even though it didn’t align with her usual one. Chase was a wonderful companion to Murphy as well! She sent lots of pictures and videos of their activities and the dogs playing together. 10/10!!

She appeared knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to ensure her comfort at all times. As a senior dog, her presence was reassuring, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in capable hands.

Colton did a great job caring for my dog. He was very communicative and proactive with updates. His dog, Tito, was so sweet to my dog, who is typically shy with new dogs, and helped her feel right at home! I’m always nervous leaving her around 4th of July with the fireworks, but I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely reach out to Colton again for his help in the future!

Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.

Fabulous folks all around. We appreciated the communication & photos while on vacation. Thule seemed to have had a lovely time staying with Jackie & James. We were out of town for about an entire week. We booked with them about a month in advanced & had a little meet and great to ensure compatibility across the board. Grateful for these two. Will book again soon.

Junoa was absolutely amazing with our dog, Luna! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Junoa kept us updated throughout our trip with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luna had an incredible time and became great friends with Junoa's dog, Diablo. It was obvious from all the photos and updates that she was getting plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. We could tell Luna felt right at home. We are so grateful to have found Junoa and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone who truly cares for your dog as if they were her own, I highly recommend Junoa!

What Is Seattle Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Worried about your dog’s comfort while you’re away? Rover helps you choose from over 3,200 dog boarding environments hosted by vetted and reviewed Seattle sitters. Turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation in popular Seattle dog-friendly neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Fremont, Capitol Hill, or West Seattle. Rover makes it easy to find affordable dog boarding in Seattle and surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Tacoma, or Bothell. The cost of dog boarding in Seattle, WA, ranges from $65 to $70 per night.

Convenience to SeaTac

Travelers flying through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) can choose from 160+ dog boarding locations within 15 miles. Some sitters may also meet you at the airport for an additional fee.

Tailored Dog Boarding Options in Seattle

  • Solo dog care: 1,682 sitters offer one-on-one attention for anxious pups
  • Fenced yards: 1,378 sitters have outdoor play areas for high-energy pups
  • Boarding + daycare: 1,937 sitters offer daycare for playful dogs
  • Grooming & bathing: 710 sitters provide light grooming for long-term stays
  • Multi-pet boarding: 1,536 sitters welcome multiple dogs or cats
Unlike traditional kennels that follow a strict group schedule, dog boarding through Rover is customizable to your dog’s emotional needs. For most sitters, services such as additional walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are included in their daily rate.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like:
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll around Green Lake or Belltown waterfront
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
When booking, factor in your dog’s habits and needs to your sitter’s location. Does your dog need off-leash playtime? A sitter who lives in the U District may visit Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. Well-socialized dogs may enjoy staying with sitters who live by dog-friendly outdoor patios, like Bark!Espresso, a dog-themed café with fun treats for pups, or The Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard.
Need more routine stability? If your pup thrives on routine, Seattle house sitting services may be a better choice. For about $75 per night, a Seattle sitter will stay in your home and follows your care instructions.
