“Vicki was wonderful! My dog Bob had a wonderful time with her and Jeff and, of course, their two dogs. I am sure he especially enjoyed having a backyard again to roam in and explore. I recommend her enthusiastically!”
“Excellent Experience! Loved all the photos and updates Anita sent throughout the week. The love, care and compassion Anita has for animals shines through! We call it going to camp!”
“We had an amazing experience with Miranda and her family! Our dog was so well cared for, and they took the time that was necessary to let her adjust slowly. We have already rebooked for a trip planned later in the year! Excellent experience!”
“This was my first time booking with Diahann and not only was my baby treated like family, he was given opportunities to choose an open kennel, soft blanket, or comfy bed to safely rest his little head on during the day. The peace of mind was amazing when seeing Sterno in so many adorable pics, as well as how kind Diahann's granddaughter treated my baby as they played fetch in a wonderful video I received early on in his stay. Sterno is very active and playful, and I couldn't have requested a better sitter for him!! Diahann truly cares like it's her own dog. There are cameras, a huge yard, and Sterno was very calm during pickup, which showcased how comfortable he had been. I am adding that Diahann was very responsive to a suggested video meet, and proceeded to give a wonderful tour of her Dog-friendly and dog-safe home before Sterno's drop off date. She is thoughtful like that. You will love her too! Thank you for this caring dog-sitting experience Diahann! I will def book again!”
“Maria is the absolute best! This is our second visit. Our pooch, Theodore is so welcome and loved at Maria’s senior center for small dogs. She is so caring and compassionate. Dogs are lucky to be able to stay at Maria’s. Looking forward to having him back soon.”
“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”
“Heather is the absolute best!! Our dog loves being at her house almost more than he loves being at home lol. We never have to worry about him when he’s at Heather’s because we know he’s in great hands & is having an amazing time with his best buddy Mac!”
“I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)”
“Linda was wonderful and Nuggie was very well taken care of. She took him on frequent walks and provided updates throughout his stay. I would recommend and have my pets stay with her again without hesitation!”
“Dennis and Lynn took great care of our dog Rocky! We were very happy with the way they took care of him, and we received multiple updates on how he was doing throughout the days. We would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Lena and her family were great to my pups from meet and greet to their 3 night boarding! She was very understanding about their high energy personalities and she was flexible with us when we had to pick up later than originally planned. Updates and pictures were wonderful for my peace of mind. I could tell they had a fun packed weekend because as soon as they got home they curled up and snoozed away. I would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“10/10 recommend Katrina and her family!! They showed my fur babies the best care and love :) I felt extremely at peace with them being there! Katrina also sent updates of them everyday making my experience even better than expected! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Such a dog lover, we felt immediately comfortable with her and Ckona clearly had a blast while staying there. Very responsive and professional, sent great pics, and just had a great overall experience.”
“Angela is an excellent dog sitter. Our dog had a fun vacation of her own at Angela's home. She had the run of the house and yard with another dog to play with and Angela sent us pictures of her having fun. We have left our dog with Angela twice now and already planning a third trip without our young dog because we know she is in good hands with Angela.”
“Mollie did a fantastic job. Our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay. Mollie sent lots of update with photos of our dog happily playing and hanging around the house. Easy to recommend Mollie.”
“Kayle was great with my dog Rocky! She sent photos every day and I could tell he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend her as a sitter. I will be asking her to petsit for me in the future!”
“Oh my do we love our new grandma Maggie!! I have 2 doxies, one is super nervous, the other had back surgery just under a year ago but they both took to her wonderfully! Maggie sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated while they were there. She was ok with their regime of food which I'm super picky with what they eat. Both dogs seemed happy when I got back from a 3 night 4 day trip and I knew they had a great stay!! I'm so happy and relieved that I found someone who would care for my pets as would!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gig Harbor
Shannon was amazing! What a great person & dog sitter. My older dog Stella is relaxed but has a few habits, and I’m always a little particular with who she stays with in general. From the moment we met, I know she’d be in safe hands & Shannon often sent updates/photos. I could tell she was cared for as if she was their dog! Thank you Shannon & your lovely family for providing Stella a safe, loving home 🧡🐶

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gig Harbor is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 4,712 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gig Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Gig Harbor can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gig Harbor home-away-from-home, 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 Gig Harbor.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gig Harbor 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 , 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 .
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.
