“Donna was great with my 10 year old Lhasa while I was on vacation. She is well educated on animal care and made sure Henry took his daily medication and got regular snuggles. She sent pictures every evening and the images of him napping on her lap and lounging in her backyard were so comforting. I highly recommend Donna and will definitely use her services again!”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Dina and Irma were great, I needed a sitter last minute and they were wonderful enough to watch my pup. They have a nice backyard she was able to enjoy and also had a large area for her downstairs to relax and chill. Definitely recommend!”
“Jenn is my go to dogsitter anytime I travel! It’s lovely to be able to enjoy my travel knowing my dogs are safe and having a great time. My dogs love Jenn and her family, plus her playful pup!”

“Molly was wonderful. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She is kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Kaylee is a great caretaker for my pups. She was very attentive and sent photos everyday. The pups felt safe in her home and she makes them feel comfortable as part of her family. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: Hi there! I grew up with dogs and for the last nine years, have been a mom to my beloved chiweenie named Fynn. Friends, family members, and clients trust me with their dogs, for both short and long term stays, and I’d love to care for your pup. Fynn is very active, so we do at least two long walks a day. I live in the North End, so frequently walk in Puget Park and am always happy to take pups to Point Defiance depending on exercise needs. Of course, if your dog needs more rest, I’ll take that into account as well. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am in academia and currently on my summer break, so I’m home most of the time. Your dog will rarely be alone. Please reach out! Can’t wait to hang with your pup! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am free on weekdays and weekends as needed, and am available for both shorter and longer term stays. I live in an apartment but take frequent dog walks and bathroom breaks as needed. I have a nine-year-old chiweenie named Fynn who loves other dogs and will be a great buddy to your pup. I’m close to parks and Point Defiance so your dog will get plenty of exercise!
“Erin (and family 😊) were wonderful with Hazel. She can be a high energy greeter and the meet and greeent well. You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”
“Roxana and Nathan were wonderful with our girl, Maggie. They didn't hesitate one bit when I needed them on such short notice. With this being Maggie's first stay with them, they walked us around their large and very dog friendly piece of property and introduced Maggie to the other pups. By the time I left, Maggie was happily in Roxana's arms ready for her stay. The communication was excellent and I even received pictures and video of Maggie throughout her stay. At pickup, Maggie had been bathed and was clearly exhausted from running, playing and exploring the area. I will definitely use Roxana and Nathan again! Added bonus -- their two sweet daughters enjoyed playing with Maggie as well.”
“Charis made us feel super comfortable leaving our pup. She sent great photos and responded quickly to questions. When we arrived to pick Dottie up, it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She came home and has been snoozing since!”
“Best Rover Family ever! Two parents and their teens worked together to make their safe home and securely fenced yard inviting (welcome aboard greeting, clean and tidy). Happy “Bush Tails” throughout. Appreciated the simple timely & affectionate text & picture updates. punctual for drop off & pick up! Our 4-year old was happy throughout; relaxed and energetic when we picked her up.”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”

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.

There are 4,923 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.

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.
