Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

We recently used
for the first time. A friend had recommended a Ballard sitter from
for Dog Walking and Dog Boarding and they too had a puppy so we decided to give it a try for our puppy while we were at an all day sports event. The sitter was wonderful. Our dog had a great time and we will use the service again for sure. I definitely recommend going to the Meet & Greet, which is technically optional, for potential dog walkers or sitter. For us, it has been a really helpful component is feeling good about our dog’s caregiver. We haven’t done an overnight yet, but given the great experience we had, we will look to
when the time comes.

I’m big into researching before I commit to anything, and looking for someone to take care of our beloved dog was something I wasn’t going to trust just anyone with. I came across
and was impressed with how easy it was to find a sitter near us within our budget. The site is easy to navigate, and I LOVE that payment is taken care of via the website– no awkward money chats! We found someone that we absolutely trust on Rover, and we know that many others trust her, as well, because pet parents write reviews about their dogs’ stays. We’ve been using Rover for a bit over 2 years, and are looking forward to using it for many more years to come!

My experience with Rover’s dog boarding service was great! After reading carefully all reviews and descriptions, I found a sitter that was a great match with my dogs. She was very responsive since the beginning and sent me updates and pictures throughout the day, which gave me piece of mind as it was my first experience with Rover. My dogs had a lot of fun in her huge backyard and with her sweet dogs! They were happy and exhausted the next day. I felt much more comfortable than leaving them at a pet hotel. I will definitely be boarding my dogs with
again!

I have used
dog boarding service for almost a year now. I read through numerous reviews available on
to find the perfect sitter for our needy pooch. We will definitely continue using
. The pictures we receive from our sitter while on vacation are always a bonus! :)

Rover was great! I had a nice discount from Reddit, and another discount for being a first time member, so the whole stay didn’t cost me very much at all. Although even at full price, it was very reasonable. I was able to look through a list of available sitters in my area who could come into my home (although remote dog boarding is also available) and easily find a highly reviewed match! Our dog sitter was communicative and obviously very comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs. My pup took to her right away and I felt confident that he was in good hands during my absence. I highly recommend this program!

I was hesitant to leave my fur baby with a stranger, but
put all my fears to rest. I thought requiring a meet and greet was a bit overkill, but it was the best experience. I was able to meet the potential sitter in person and see how wonderfully she interacted with my dog. Between all the reviews and photos it was easy to select the perfect person. I recommend
to all my friends and family!

Great solution for dog boarding. Have used the service twice and am so very pleased. Beats kennel boarding because your pup is in a loving home playing with other dogs and humans. Perfect. Thanks rover!

is a great alternative to regular dog boarding! Not to say that our dog is high maintenance, but it is hard to be a border collie. And a border collie without a people to monitor is a border collie without a job, a sad border collie indeed!
allowed us to find a substitute family to keep the border collie employed while we enjoyed knowing she wasn’t just locked in a crate in worry that we’d never return.

Rover is the BEST! My dogs always seem to be well taken care of, and I have the peace of mind to leave them! This is a first class company, and they only hire the best. Great company!

I’ve used
for dog sitting services about 4 times now and have used 2 different sitters through the service. We used a kennel once in the past, but having our dog stay in a warm friendly environment is so much better for him (he has separation anxiety) and puts me at ease knowing he is well cared for, especially when I get photos of my pup while I’m away. The website is easy to navigate and arrange a stay. I recommend
to anyone looking for dog boarding.

I’ve used Rover for boarding my dog several times, and they are genius! I live in Bellingham but occasionally have to stay overnight in the Ballard area for work. I could pay extra for a dog friendly hotel, but I’d still be leaving my dog alone for long periods of time and he freaks out at all the unfamiliar noises in a hotel.
Using Rover, I can find someone to watch my dog in their home, and I am nearby in case something goes wrong (though it never has). My dog gets to be with me on the drive each way, and is given more attention while I am working. The sitters are knowledgeable and very accommodating, and my dog is so much happier than if I leave him home with a sitter who just stops by twice a day.

So glad we found
. Being new to the area, my husband and I weren’t sure who we could get to keep our pug.
solved that problem. We’ve had two wonderful dog sitters through the service. Love knowing that Annie will be well take care of when we’re away. Also have peace of mind knowing she’ll be in someone’s house and not is a kennel. Highly recommend the site!

I have had many positive (paws-​itive?) experiences boarding my dog with other dog lovers who offer their services on
. I have now found someone who lives 5 min from my house who has a dog as well, making it a fun playdate for my dog when she gets to go visit while I’m on vacation. So that has become my go-​to family for dog boarding now but if they’re not available, there are so many choices of others I can consider. Prices are reasonable and I know my dog is in great hands!

The website is very user-​friendly and it’s very simple to pay since I have my credit card on file and the price is as advertised so no money is exchanged with the dog sitter. Couldn’t be easier!
