“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Val was great with our two puppies. We were struggling g having litter mates, but Val gave us hope. She was great with them. The puppies had a great time. We received lots of pictures. Val has a large yard and home that is dog friendly.”
“I was great to see Mimi excited to see Brenda on our most recent drop off. We appreciate Brenda's flexibility and her attention to detail. Mimi has a warm, safe place to go, which means a lot to us. Thank you!”
“Arnie always loves his stay with Rikke and Luna. My favorite part is getting lots of pictures, a daily update and seeing all the lovely walks he’s being taken on.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Priscilla was amazing to work with! She answered all our questions and made us feel good about leaving our Pup with her for the week. Priscilla sent us lots of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Throughout the whole stay they kept us updated with photos and had even taken our pups on walks for us. They were very communicative throughout our dogs stay. We even had issues with flight/travel at the airport and they worked with us through everything to accommodate our complete change in schedule and were totally understanding. We can’t thank them enough. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a safe space for your pets while away.”
“Dee Anne is so sweet and takes such great care of our pup! She gives him a great mix of play time and exercise and cuddles. Max loves his sleepovers and quality time with Dee Anne, and is always SO excited when he can visit!”
“Ok so I am a little late in writing this review but after vacation one is always a little behind. Lea did such a great job taking care of my Cooper and he came home so happy and healthy. Will definitely use again...”
“I highly recommend Loc for your furry family members! He is kind towards animals- they run to be with him. He is responsive to two-legged family members and kind in sending pictures to keep connected. Please consider Loc!”
“I have booked with Oneeda twice and always makes Bailey feel right at home. I can tell she is a genuine pet lover and truely cares about each pup. Also Thank you for taking Bailey on walks I’m sure she very much enjoys them. Deff will continue to book with Oneeda for future stays :)”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Mckenna and her mom Shirley are the best caretakers of my wonderful old dog Chewie that I could ever imagine. He's near end of life now, but Mckenna still agreed to take him for a day in October even after his challenging week long stay at her house in September. Thank you, Mckenna and Shirley!”
“Daisha and her husband are so incredibly nice and wonderful. My pups are somewhat handful and required lots of attention. They got all the love, care, and more staying with Daisha. I love the fact that Daisha's home is so neat and clean and she has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and enjoy. I specially appreciate Daisha's attention to details and her and her husband's genuine love and care for my dogs. I completely trusted and felt very lucky to have found Daisha to board my dogs. We'll definitely be back and work with Daisha again. Thank you so much Daisha!!!”
“Kristine is awesome, got stuck in a snow storm traveling back. Kristine was very understanding. I’m very grateful I could leave my mooch with someone so wonderful. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Cyndi was super quick to reply. I was lucky to find her because I needed dog boarding last minute. She took good care of my dog, and my pup was very relaxed when I picked her up.”
“Jill was an amazing caretaker for my pup. She gave continuous communication throughout holiday trip with photos and videos. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
“Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!”

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 Pet Boarding in Gig Harbor is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,875 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
