Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.

Tomas was super patient with my shy pup - I could tell by the photos and videos that after a few days warming up, she was settled in, calm, comfortable, and having a blast playing with his dog! I felt reassured by the daily updates and check-ins, and would leave Zula in his care again in a heartbeat!

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!

My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!

We gotta say, we’ve had rover sitters before (some good, some not so good) but Gregg by far has exceeded all of our expectations. We asked him beforehand if he was okay with one of our reactive and pulley dogs, and he said he was. We set up a meet and greet before booking and both our dogs took to Gregg immediately. He just had such a kind, warm demeanor to him, and although we had other meet and greets scheduled throughout the week, no one even came close to Gregg. The booking itself was exactly what we thought it would be — amazing. Gregg was very communicative, with constant updates/photos/videos throughout the day, was very attentive towards both of our dogs needs, kept them engaged throughout their stay, followed all instructions on feeding/walking times, and even kept a close eye on one of our dogs paw chewing. When we came to pick them up, it was very clear they had a blast with Gregg, and even bonded with him as well!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and because of that, we are just so grateful to have found him!!! He is going to be our go-to sitter going forward, and we know our dogs can’t wait for their next adventure with Gregg!!!

Maria was amazing with our sweet baby Tasha. Our dog can be a bit shy but warmed up to Maria in no time! We received pics and video updates throughout her stay and Tasha was having a great time with Maria’s tiny dog pack. I would recommend Maria to anyone worried about leaving their dog behind, your baby will be in great hands!

Matt was an incredible dog sitter for my 14 week old Australian Shepherd mix! He provided a safe and enjoyable home for my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. I received lots of pictures and text updates from Matt everyday. Being away from my dog initially made me very anxious, but Matt put my mind at ease and I am very grateful. He was also very understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. When my return flight was delayed, Matt was willing to work with me and stay up very late to allow me to pick up my puppy right after I landed. I will 100% use Matt in the future and those reading should trust Matt with your dog too!

Erin and Kevin were just the best! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous using internet strangers as dog watchers. Erin suggested a meet up before and left me with zero worries. Our dog was so well taking care of with daily photos and check ins on all their walks and play times. Will 100% be booking with them again on our next vacation!

My dog, a Aussiedoodle, requires lots of exercise and Angelique was up for it. As testimony, my dog has slept hard all morning. My dog is also very social with other dogs. I liked that Angelique boards multiple pets at the same time. I received daily pictures and updates. I don’t know who had more fun last week—my dog or me, and I was on a beach in Mexico!

We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.

Mimi was wonderful with our dog! She was kind, gentle and responsive, and her own dog and mine were already on the way to becoming good friends after only 1 night! Mimi sent us loads of pictures and videos which made us feel so relaxed and happy. As Mimi remarked, “ it looked like he had found his second home after only a few hours!” My husband and I enthusiastically endorse Mimi’s care and we hope to sign our dog up for another stay soon!

Alejandra & Raul are the best! We breathe easy whenever our pets are in their care. They communicate well and send lots of pictures. Our dog is very shy, but they are so caring and patient with her. We can tell that they are perceptive and give her exactly what she needs to relax and feel safe. That’s the best care we could ask for!

She is kind and patient and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved pups with her. They were happy to come home when she graciously brought them out to my car.

If you’re searching for a West Seattle dog boarding sitter for the first time, visit the sitter’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a sitter before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Typically, dog boarding sitters on Rover respond in under an hour, so you should be matched with the perfect sitter for you and your dog in no time!

Experience can vary widely from sitter to sitter, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing sitters available in West Seattle.

Rover makes it easy to find West Seattle dog boarding sitters to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star sitters you can find on Rover will welcome your dog into their home when you’re away—whether it’s just for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding is great for:

  • Dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies
  • Pet parents looking for a safe, loving alternative to a kennel
  • Dogs who’d love to socialize with their sitter’s pets

Yes! Sitters joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog boarding sitter through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your sitter has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your pet is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

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.
