How to hire a pet sitting & boarding pro in United States
- Verify insurance and bonding (standard for professional sitters)
- Do a meet-and-greet and, for boarding, tour the facility
- Confirm vaccination requirements and emergency-vet authority in writing
- Check group size, supervision hours and whether pets are crated overnight
- Compare platform protections (Rover/Wag) against independents
- Confirm holiday-period rates and cancellation terms
Pet-sitting is largely unregulated in the US, but commercial boarding kennels are licensed and inspected at the state or county level, and USDA rules can apply to larger operations. Platforms provide baseline insurance that independents should match privately.

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask a pet sitter or boarder before booking?
Ask about insurance, licensing where it applies, how many animals they take, their emergency-vet plan, whether dogs are ever left unsupervised, vaccination requirements, and ask for references or reviews. A meet-and-greet before booking is standard.
How much is dog boarding in Bellevue?
In Bellevue, kennel boarding sits around the national per-night rate, home boarding with a sitter is a little higher, and holiday periods add a premium. Multiple pets and medication needs push the price up.
How do I find a trustworthy pet sitter in Bellevue?
In Bellevue, ask your vet and local pet groups, check platform reviews, then do a meet-and-greet and a short trial stay before a long booking. Insurance, references and a calm rapport with your pet matter more than the lowest nightly rate.
Is in-home sitting safer than a kennel?
It's less stressful for many pets and keeps them in a familiar environment, but 'safer' depends on the person — an insured, referenced in-home sitter beats a poor kennel, and a well-run licensed kennel beats an unvetted stranger. Judge the individual, not just the format.
Do pet boarders and sitters need a licence?
It varies. Some countries license home boarding, daycare and commercial kennels with inspections and star ratings; elsewhere it's unregulated and insurance plus references are the trust signal. Always check what applies where you live before assuming a sitter is vetted.
What does dog boarding cost in the US?
Kennel boarding averages $40-$60 a night ($25-$55 basic), pet-resort boarding $50-$95+, in-home overnight sitting $50-$150+, and doggy daycare $30-$50 a day.
