“Absolutely amazing care for my dog Pluto! Constant updates helped me also feel comfortable with my dog in their care! Great job! I will definitely come back when I need someone to care for my sweet Pluto!”
“Kim was absolutely amazing!!! So welcoming , friendly and professional. She watched our husky for just over a week while we were out of the country. Kim sent several updates and pictures throughout the stay and took fantastic care of Niko! Niko had such a fun time playing with other dogs and was exhausted when we took him home. We will absolutely rebook and would highly recommend Kim to anyone! We had zero worries while Niko was with her.”
“Jaelyn took very good care of my dog! I was gone for 10 days. She gave me text updates and sent pictures. My dog loved her dog, Nova. She has a nice backyard the dogs can play with each other in. They played together well and were sad to leave each other! Jaelyn has a calming presence which is exactly what my dog needs! I recommend her services :).”
“Terry and Fernanda watched our 4-month old puppy over the holidays -- his first time with boarding while we went on a trip. Our dog was happy, calm, and well-exercised when we returned (no mean feat for this shepherd mix pup)! We especially enjoyed seeing videos of him playing and are so glad he had a great time socializing with the other dogs. Terry and Fernanda love dogs, and it's evident by the way they take such good care of them!”
“On our second time booking with Enrique, Athena remembered how well she liked it there. She cried to get off the car and went straight into the house like it was her second home. It made us feel good that she was happy to come back. We will book again soon, for sure!!”
“Kristina and her family were great! By the second visit, my Daisy knew she was going somewhere fun where would gets lots of cuddles, pets, and love! Kristina updated me of Daisy’s day and was super easy to work with. I would 1000% recommend Kristina and her family ☺️”
“Very kind and attentive. She asked lots of questions to make sure she understood and met my dog’s needs. She also sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided. Honestly, I think my dogs received even more attention and love than they get at home! 😂”
“Excellent service! I was very pleased with the care from Angela & Ashlyn B. for my cat. Daily updates with pictures, followed feeding instructions, and made sure my cat felt safe in a new setting. Her dog was very sweet and had no problem with my cat. Overall, I am happy with my decision of using Rover and more than grateful for Angela & Ashlyn’s help! Guaranteed, I will request another booking in the future.”
About: We have owned fur babies for the last 25 years, from dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, as well as pet hamsters and rats. We've had the privilege of taking care of our cats and dogs almost 25 years. We have had them from puppyhood and kittenhood to their geriatric years (two dogs to age 16!). Currently we have three yellow labs; two that we adopted from my parents when they passed, they are, 4,4, and 9 years old. We have always had our dogs trained with the basic obedience commands and we only use encouraging words and actions to help them learn. Many of our animals were rescue pups. We also have dog friendly indoor/outdoor cats. I work part time at home as well as on call work when I am available. I am an early riser and can work as early as 5:30am and as late as 8pm. We offer in home care, to include drop off, doggy day care and pet sitting for dogs and cats. I would also be open to short term pet care in a clients home and I am especially interested in dog walking as well as field trips trail or park walking, and dog parks for dogs that enjoy it. I am also able to provide transportation to vet appointments.
“Brooke did amazing with Joey. We set up a meeting beforehand to let the dogs meet, and they all got along swell. She left me pictures and updates on how Joey was doing. My dog looked happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would recommend her if you need your dog taken care of and want peace of mind.”
“We love Janet. We know our little baby is safe and loved when we have to leave. Janet keeps contact with us all the time to let us know how is our baby doing. We also receive photographs and videos all the time. Thanks Janet. Luma, Bruce & Lola Lloyd”
“Beth is a fabulous dog sitter/boarder. She took such great care of our dog, sent pics, and communicated daily. She responds promptly, is very personable and kind, and our dog had a great time at her house. We won't consider going to anyone else!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life, and I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your dog while you’re away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. What sets me apart is that your dog won’t simply be “boarded” here — they’ll be welcomed into my home and treated like part of the family. I’m a mom of four boys, so I’m very comfortable managing busy days, routines, lots of activity, and plenty of love and attention! My home is a warm, family environment where dogs can relax, play, get lots of affection, and enjoy being included in everyday life. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine and am happy to follow your preferences for feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, medications, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also know how reassuring updates are when you’re away, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins throughout their stay. My goal is for you to be able to leave your dog knowing they’re safe, loved, and being cared for like one of my own — and for your pup to be excited to come back! I just recently lost my sweet girl of 13 years and I miss her so! 💗 I work part-time from home, so I’m home and available throughout much of the day to give your dog plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my family’s daily routine, and your pup will get lots of love and interaction while they’re here. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedule as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I provide a loving, family-centered home where dogs are treated like one of my own. I have four boys who love animals, so dogs staying with me will have plenty of attention and affection! I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, crates, and any special routines. I’m careful about supervising dogs in my care and want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Heather and family took excellent care of my 2 year old yellow lab for ten days. She has two large labs herself and they all played delightfully. My lab also learned the joys of being around young children (or grandchildren), which will serve him well in the future. Heather was flexible about a false alarm health issue my lab had around departure time, which I much appreciated. My dog was returned trim and happy. He misses his play buddies.”
About: I have cared for mostly pit bull type dogs and unwanted other dogs (seniors, chewers)- I have a lot of care and patience for animals of all kinds. I have a full time job during the week but am available weekends and some holidays if you want to go out of town. I usually feel a little guilty leaving my dogs behind while I go camping but many federal lands don’t accept dogs, even on a leash. Just know they will be cared for and played with at my house. I usually get out once a day to go to the parks with my dogs so I would love to take yours too! I feed my dogs a special dinner nightly and in the morning. They have a doggy door they go in and out of to a large fenced back yard. They are allowed on the furniture and are walked to run off leash in a park on a daily basis.
About: If you have any questions about my services or need an emergency sitter, please message me and let me know what's going on. I'm willing to work with people at right circumstances! I have experience in ESA/SERVICE DOG Training, as well as basic training/exercising for your pet. We will be mostly indoors, unless play time is necessary or a walk needs to be done. Toys are provided. Please bring your pets food or medications! I will need a list of any meds/allergies your pet has and the contact info to your recent vet for any emergencies. If you need your pet to have a bath/groom then it will be a minimum $10 depending on the size/weight. Drop-offs are a plus if you are able to provide one. I'm currently a full time stay-at-home mom taking care of my daughter and 2 cats. I'm here all day and can provide for your pet effeciently. your fur baby will be kept inside my home and taken care of , unless it's potty/playtime. pets must be friendly with cats, as I have 2 living here.
“Maria made everything so easy, flexible with drop off and pick up timings! She sent us constant updates and pictures and Teddy sure made lot of friends during this stay!! We will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up we always had many pets, and I would often spend my weekends and holidays sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages, and especially with blind and deaf dogs. I have a 6 year old Golden of my own who adores other dogs and cats, and tennis balls of course. I work from home and recognize that others may not have this option, so I wanted to open up my home to provide a caring space for other pet owners when needed. I have a fenced in back yard but take my girl out often throughout the day to one of the many parks that are very closeby. Working remotely means I am also flexible in my hours and am able to offer walks and drop ins as needed, always giving each pet as much attention as I can. I treat every animal as I would my own and understand how difficult it can be to be away from them. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend soon! Weekends work best, but can entertain on weekdays. Can have up to two more pets to continue the same exercise/play schedule I have for my own pet. I have a laid back dog. I will be around in the mornings and evenings to feed, play and clean up after. With permission, I would love to take your fur baby on walks, hikes, or to the dog park to get some energy out and for mental stimulation.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Yakima is $40

Jaelyn took very good care of my dog! I was gone for 10 days. She gave me text updates and sent pictures. My dog loved her dog, Nova. She has a nice backyard the dogs can play with each other in. They played together well and were sad to leave each other! Jaelyn has a calming presence which is exactly what my dog needs! I recommend her services :).
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Communication was 24/7, and she constantly kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was treated with so much love and care, almost as if I were there myself. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about him, and I never once had to worry. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️
Angela and Ashlyn were so wonderful with Remi! Sending daily updates and pictures and/or videos was so reassuring. Unfortunately Remi wasn’t feeling good one day and they took such good care of Remi and kept us in constant communication throughout. I recommend Angela and Ashlyn for all the comfort and love your fur baby may need. A bonus was the adorable Christmas pictures they took of Remi, how special for us! Thank you Angela and Ashlyn for all the care and love!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Yakima on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 63 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Yakima. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Yakima 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 Yakima.
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 Yakima 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.
