“Molly was wonderful with Sherman and clearly has a love of dogs. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Molly for taking good care of my angel.”
“Cannot recommend Dennis & Lynn enough! They took amazing care of my pup Finnley, provided frequent updates, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy! I felt completely at ease while they were watching Finnley and will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Maria was so wonderful with Poppy! She sent frequent updates and was very quick to respond to messages. She took Poppy on daily walks and made sure she got enough exercise. I felt very safe leaving Poppy with Maria and will definitely have Maria watch Poppy again.”
“Lindsay and her lovely family took such great care of Merlin and Orla during our wedding weekend! We loved all the photos and felt like our pups were right at home! It lead to a worry-free weekend, as we knew our pups were well cared for!”
“Second visit and there will definitely be more. I knew my pup was happy when he was so excited to be back and left a little present from his excitement! Loved the daily photos and communication. Made a work trip so much less stressful.”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“We were very happy with Kaitlin as our pet sitter. This is the first time our dog, Bella, had been away from us and is working through some anxiety issues so I was concerned how she would do. Kaitlin kept me updated with photos and Bella looked so happy and comfortable. My aunt has also used Kaitlin to watch her dog and was equally as satisfied. Highly recommend!”
“Heather (and her daughter;) ) gave so much love and care for Edmond and Harvey while I was away! The pics and little stories were such a treat to get while I was on a work trip missing them. They ate well, played, and slept very very soundly after I picked them up which always means they had a great time. Can’t thank you enough, Heather.”
“Jennifer is a very warm person and I knew Rocco would be well cared for. She was boarding a couple other dogs simultaneously, which Rocco hadn't experienced before, but they got along well and became a sort of pack. When I picked him up, Rocco had clearly missed me, but when I took him home, he seemed a little restless - I think he missed Jennifer and his new pack!”
“Donna took both of our dogs, Dougal and Daisy, on a very short timeframe and during the 4th of July holiday due to a death in our family. She sent regular updates and made us feel secure that our dogs were being well cared for. That meant a lot to us during a difficult time. Thanks Donna for your kindness to our furry kids!”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Highly recommend John H! He took fantastic care of my pup and kept me updated with regular photos. My Phoebe returned home a very happy, calm, and well-rested dog. Reliable, professional, and excellent at communication—I’ll definitely be hiring John again.”
“We had an amazing experience with Leslie. She is so professional and caring. She treated our pup like her own by spoiling him with car rides to the park, walks, treats, and toys. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. We felt confident he was receiving attention and care while we were away on vacation for a week. We cannot recommend Leslie enough!!”
“Morgan was amazing with penny! She was able to help us out last minute when our other boarder canceled. I highly recommend her to anyone needed boarding or dog care needs! Very clean house and professional to work with!”
“Our 10 month old Lab, Winter, had a good time with Kana and her dogs. Lana was great at sending photos and updates and adapted to a little more puppy energy than her house is used to. They are so close to us, reasonably priced , and a good place - so we will be back!!”
“Noelle was wonderful. She took my pup on walks and played ball with him. I received daily updates showing with lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“Marisol is genuinely our favorite sitter that we’ve met! She and Milo have been so incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The amount of relief and excitement I feel knowing that my pup is not only cared for but spoiled and loved is amazing. My pup is excited to get there and when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. THAT is the telltale sign of a wonderful human and home! Dolce 🩷’s Milo (and Marisol!)”

Pet 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.

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,910 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gig Harbor. About 91% of Gig Harbor sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
