“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Davis gladly accepted taking care of Esther for 10 days while I was traveling. I am grateful for him taking this on without hesitation. I recommend him for his kindness & love of animals. Also he is a charming young man.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful taking care of Teddy. Teddy had lots of fun playing with Samantha, meeting her friends and taking very long walks with her! Samantha was so patient with Teddy when he was first nervous. She sent me consistent updates on Teddy & each time, it looked like he was having a blast. In fact, after she took care of Teddy, Teddy & I ran into her on a walk and he was soooo excited to see her again. Definitely recommend Samantha - she was kind, responsive, and made Teddy feel right at home in her place.”
“Mengyuan and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my girl Olive during a longer boarding stay (1 week). Her visit included lots of updates and Olive even went on some local hiking adventures along the way. They delivered great peace of mind, and I had full confidence that my pup was in capable, caring hands.”
“Thu was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We had a last-minute emergency and needed to extend our pup’s stay by an extra night, and she was so understanding and accommodating. We would happily book with her again, and I know our pup would be thrilled!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Danielle and Joy were amazing with Lola! Constantly giving me updates and keeping me posted! I have rebooked with Danielle and Joy and Lola always seem to enjoy her stay!”
“Once again, Catherine provides a great home away from home for our miniature Australian Shepherd, pixel. She's a great communicator, great at getting him his exercise, and we really appreciate how she cares for him. Thank you!”
“Jerica and Nori were amazing! Nori was playful and accommodating with a new dog on his turf and he and Toby played so well together! I got lots of photos and updates from Jerica during Toby’s stay and it was clear Toby had a great time and was well cared for. Highly recommend Jerica! We will re-book in a heartbeat!”
“Ponyo and her family treated my beloved rescue doggy as their family member. The heart-warming photos and messages of him nicely settled in, doing things alongside the family is what he and my heart needed. A heartfelt thank you. Highly recommend/”
“Regina did a lovely job as always looking after our pup for a few nights. She's very communicative, takes lot of photos, and is very sweet to our dog. She's also great about long walks and getting some energy out - which we love! We highly recommend!”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! Our little pup is pretty reactive generally but they clearly know how to work with dogs and put him at ease right away. They were great communicators, were able to be flexible about pickup time, and just overall exceeded our expectations on every front. We will definitely call them again!”
“Randsell was an amazing sitter. My dog was so well taken care of, monitored, and loved. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she is always keeping them entertained and sending photos and videos along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I hope to book with Randsell again soon :-)”
“Our Mini Schnauzer Carl had a wonderful time again with Jessica and Mochi. We receive multiple updates and photos per day. Carl got lots of walks and play time. Timeliness and detail of communication is always perfect. Thanks so much!”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog! She gave me frequent updates and pictures about how my pup was doing. I could tell how much love, attention, and care her and her daughter were giving to my dog. They took her on frequent walks and even took her hiking! I very strongly recommend Ana!!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Jennifer and Ken are AMAZING ! They really took great care of our pup, but more than that they really connected with her and made her feel comfortable and loved! I highly recommend them and will DEFINITELY use them again!”
“Janet was spectacular. Communication was above and beyond. All my possible worries were attended to with having a new babysitter. I couldn’t have been luckier. Looking forward to booking her next time!”

Joash was wonderful with Alice! He was very responsive, kept me updated, and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I reached out last minute, and I truly appreciate him being able to help. Alice was well taken care of, and I would happily book with him again.
Ana-Lisa provided excellent care for Marley. We had great communication throughout the sit and it was clear how attentive she was, making sure my rather anxious girl was well loved and made comfortable in a new environment. I appreciated that she wanted to know all the details of Marley’s routine in advance and how best to care for her. Highly recommend!
I can't recommend Daniel enough! He's thoughtful, trustworthy, and cared for my dog like his own. During the multi week boarding, he constantly kept me updated and I didnt have to worry about my dog at all. Even when my dog had an unexpected hot spot on his paw, Daniel went above and beyond to regularly treat the issue, offered to take my dog to the vet at a moments notice, and more. Definitely will be requesting Daniels help in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Sam! She took such great care of our husky, Odin, while we were away for a week. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time the entire stay. Communication was excellent throughout the week, and we always felt like he was in good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Sam again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Odin!
We boarded our dog with Annie over a long weekend and had a great experience. Annie was flexible and responsive with pickup/drop-off times, and we were very grateful for that. We received daily updates on our dog Akira and she always looked happy and relaxed. We would definitely book with Annie again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
Maggie handled my mischievous, teenage german shepeherd with enthusiasm and confidence! Appreciate her sending lots of updates and photos along the way. Wally seemed happy and comfortable staying with Maggie over the week we were away. Would definitely ask her to watch Wally again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Seattle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Seattle on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 5,957 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Seattle. 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.
91% of Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle.
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 Seattle 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.
