“Marisol and her husband, Rob, are fantastic! They just watched our pup, Onyx, for a week while we took a cruise. Onyx is always thrilled to visit their pup Milo and literally drags me to the front door when we arrive. I cannot say enough good things about Marisol. She is the best!”
“I adore Vicki and her hubby. They both show a lot of love for canine critters and take such good care of them. They have a great backyard for the dogs to explore, and I never worry one bit about my dog!”
“Lena and her entire family was wonderful taking care of Harley!! Her children were so gentle and sweet with him. Honestly, I don't think he wanted to come home. We will definitely be a repeat customer of Lena's!”
“My girl had a wonderful time and Keana was a fantastic host for her. She got lots of walks and attention while I was away. Keana was a perfect host for an anxious dog mom. I enjoyed all the photos of their adventures together and am glad to know I have a great dog sitter for the next time I’m out of town!”
“Wynona and Jeremy were fantastic! So friendly and communicative! They loved Chewie and made sure he was well cared for and happy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Jerry took great care of both of our dogs. He was considerate to their needs and sent us photos daily. We loved that he provided them a loving spot to stay and toys to play with.”
“Andrea is a fantastic sitter! She had Fancy for a few days, and our little old lady pup was so happy with her! We really appreciated how communicative Andrea was with us and how attentive and doting she was with Fancy. I would not hesitate to leave our dog with Andrea again, no doubt. She clearly loves animals and really goes out of her way to make sure they’re comfortable and looked after”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“Really appreciate how attentive and caring Miranda was after our dog had a medical emergency. She communicated with us often and provided lots of photos and videos! It put our minds at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of.”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Rikke was outstanding once again with Owen & Wilson. Our fur babies have so much fun at her home. It’s always so nice to get the pictures of our boys along with Neville, Luna and the other furry friends that she cares for.”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“I so appreciate the love Maria extends my pup, and treats her like one of her own. He is getting older, and she is patient and understanding with any of his needs.”
“Bailey and Kyle were fantastic! Mike stayed with them for 3 nights and had such a wonderful time. It was clear from the updates and from how happy he was when we picked him up that he felt completely comfortable. They created a really safe, fun, and caring environment, and I felt totally at ease leaving him with them. Mike came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from all the playtime. We 100% recommend Bailey and Kyle and will definitely book with them again! 🐾”
“Anita was so wonderful for our dog, Bentley. Bentley is paralyzed and in diapers, so very special needs. She sent pictures and messages every day, and I was so pleased to see Bentley in perfect condition when getting back home. I say this because with a handicap dog, sores and rashes are very common, but he had none. It's like I had been taking care of him the entire time. Bentley will absolutely stay with Anita again!”
“Great service! Loc was very communicative and responsive, he agreed to watch my fur babies in short notice. He is flexible and reassuring. He took my babies to walk and send photos daily. Highly recommended”
“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”
“Morgan was fantastic! Beau stayed with her for two nights and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Very good communication and attention to detail. We would love for Beau to stay with her in the future!”
“Jill and Glen just watched Nova over the 4th of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!”
“Danielle, Brian, and Shiro were absolutely incredible to our pups while we were away! We were nervous to leave our pups with a new Rover as we recently moved, and one of our pups is a rescue. They were amazing and our pups had a great time-Danielle sent us lots of pictures which we loved. Definitely recommend Danielle and will definitely book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gig Harbor
Dani took wonderful care of our dog, Rocket, from Saturday evening through Friday evening, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, and in every one, Rocket looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for. What really stood out was how she welcomed him into her family’s daily routine. She even let him sleep on the bed, where he’s most comfortable. One of my favorite updates was when she shared that he had claimed her husband’s pillow, and instead of minding, they thought it was adorable. That told me he truly felt safe and at home. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Dani gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Dani, for taking such great care of Rocket!
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 🧡🐶
Jerry was awesome and very communicative. Sending pics of my pup and providing updates throughout Vinny’s time with him. I had to book kind of last second and Jerry was very accommodating. Thanks again Jerry, will let you know if we need help when we’re back in town again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gig Harbor on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,768 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 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.
91% of Gig Harbor sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gig Harbor 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 Gig Harbor 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 Gig Harbor.
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 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 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.
