“Jena was amazing with our two year old lab. She was open to doing a meet and great which was so helpful. Jena is laid back and loving and our pup was in the best hands while we were away! We received daily updates and photos and returned home to a very happy and tired pup!”
“Darcia, Thank you for the great care of our family member, Boba! We’re glad Boba had a good time with your dog. Your calm and reassuring attitude really helped us know that Boba was in good hands. Thank you again! Andy”
“Ethan did a wonderful job with my boy. He hadn’t been boarded on his own before and he had a great time! Ethan sent me updates with videos and photos each day. He was flexible with us picking up earlier than anticipated. Will definitely have him watch Enzo again!”
“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”
“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“Mabel got along with her dog really well! I picked her up and she was tired from playing, no behavioral issues. Alyssa was a pleasure to work with & took great care of my baby.”
“Our 10 month old Lab, Winter, had a good time with Kana and her dogs. Lana was great at sending photos and updates and adapted to a little more puppy energy than her house is used to. They are so close to us, reasonably priced , and a good place - so we will be back!!”
“Dina & Irma took such great care of our dog! Thanks for being so understanding and kind to our sweet, but anxious girl. We appreciated all of the updates while we were away”
“Anita was so wonderful for our dog, Bentley. Bentley is paralyzed and in diapers, so very special needs. She sent pictures and messages every day, and I was so pleased to see Bentley in perfect condition when getting back home. I say this because with a handicap dog, sores and rashes are very common, but he had none. It's like I had been taking care of him the entire time. Bentley will absolutely stay with Anita again!”
“I honestly can say i have never met such a caring, nice and loving sitter as Tobi was. Tobi is amazing! She took such great care of our little Norma. She has a very beautiful home and a beautiful well kept fenced backyard. Norma was loving every minute of being there. Her home was a dogs paradise. Her two little dogs are the cutest and they are so laid back and welcoming. Norma made friends with them instantly. We had an early drop off time and Tobi was sweet and very accomedating to us. While we were away on vacation she always sent updates with pictures and videos, that definetly put our mind at ease knowing our Norma was well taken care of. Norma was sad to leave tobi and her new friends and hopes to see them again soon. Thank you Tobi for everything and that cute little gift you gave norma you are so sweet! Norma will miss you. We will definetly be using tobi in the future. No questions asked! She IS the sitter you want to have watch your dog (fur baby). Thank you again Tobi! ???”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”
“Mariana took such great care of my babies! Dachshunds can be a difficult breed- and she got two of them, a puppy and a senior. She sent regular updates and pictures of them throughout their stay with her. After picking my babies up, they seem happy and healthy. Highly recommend Mariana for boarding!”
“Andrea is the best. Floki loves her so much. I am so comfortable leaving him with her. The way they interact just makes me smile and he has so much fun. We love her so much 😃😃😃😃”
“Our senior dog, Yogi, stayed with Lizzie for a week. We were tentative to board him because he is an elderly dog and has special needs (suffers from epilepsy). But our worries were quickly put to rest...Lizzie was absolutely great with him. She LOVES dogs and she treated Yogi as one of her own. She kept us updated on Yogi daily, sending us texts and pictures. We are incredibly happy to have found her and will definitely have Yogi stay with her again again!!”
“Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.”
“Dani, thank you! You gifted us peace of mind. We appreciated knowing that our Jack Dog was treated like a member of your family. For others considering booking with Dani: she was responsive, flexible, and kind. Her home and property are gorgeous, clean, and safe for our fur babies. Her two dogs were friendly and welcoming to our Jack Dog.”
“Jill and Glen just watched Nova over the 4th of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! 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!”

How great to find a wonderful pet sitter! Kuna had a fun overnight with Amanda. She went on 2 adventure walks and also met some new dog friends to hang out with. Photos were sent, updates give, and our instructions for Kuna’s care were followed to a tee. We look forward to another pet sitter opportunity soon.
I’ve never boarded my dog before, and it was incredibly stressful. However, I had a work obligation that required me to travel out of town. Larissa went above and beyond to alleviate my concerns. Gracie and I had a meet and greet, and Gracie seemed very comfortable meeting Larissa and her two pups. Gracie stayed with Larissa for two weeks with a break over the weekend. Larissa was fantastic in keeping me updated and sending pictures. Larissa was also very accommodating to any slight changes in my schedule. I highly recommend Larissa.
Dee Anne is such a sweetheart and we're so grateful for how she takes care of Max! He is so excited to spend time with her with all the quality play time and rest and adventures they have. It's a little vacation for him to stay with Dee Anne when we can't take him out of town with us and it's so meaningful to us that she's so genuinely loving, thoughtful, and kind!
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! :)
This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in University Place on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,150 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across University Place. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of University Place sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which University Place landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their University Place 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 University Place.
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 University Place 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.
