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!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! They can be pretty rambunctious and full of energy, but they were handled with patience, kindness, and confidence. I came home to two happy (and tired) dogs and it was clear they had been treated like family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Kaitlin and her husband Nathan took excellent care of my little dog Molly. This is the first time I left her alone with someone else, for over a couple weeks. They helped Molly transition from having a minor separation anxiety, to become fully comfortable by the end of the stay. They cared for her like their own dog. Kaitlin sent photo updates every few days. I recommend Kaitlin, and would book with her again!”
“Kelly was amazing! She watched my two dogs, one that was elderly and one that is just about 2.5 years old. She was very responsive and sent photos of my girlies while I was away. She was very kind and super easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town!”
“Heather was amazing! Such a great caregiver for our young pup who also needed medical attention. Can’t wait to have him stay with her again. Highly recommend her!! 😊”

“Jena & her family were absolutely amazing! They cared for my quirky 6 year old labradoodle for a week while I was on vacation & I can’t imagine a better experience. Bailey was treated as a member of the family & was clearly happy as a clam! Will definitely use Jena again!”
“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“We have never used this app before nor have we left our pup with anyone we didn't know, which made us very anxious in trying to find someone. Loc made this whole process very easy, are usual timid dog went right up to him at the meet/greet and apparently had a wonderful time. He sent daily pics/vids and was quick to respond with any concerns. We were gone a week and has 0 issues. Highly recommend and would definitely book again! Thank you!!!”

Benny was in such great care with Donald! He has a nice cozy apartment and I could tell Benny would feel comfortable. He took him on a stroll at his favorite park and even got him some treats because we forgot some at home. Would definitely book with Donald again! 10/10
This was my second time leaving Frida with Jace, and I couldn’t be happier. She clearly loves him, and it’s obvious the feeling is mutual! Jace is great at communicating, and I always knew Frida was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of during her stay. It gives me such peace of mind leaving her with him. Cannot recommend Jace enough!
I’m not new to Rover, but this was I first using Karla for my two boys (Benny & Teddy). These boys are my babies… they’re special to me. I’m pretty sure most pet owners feel the same way about their fur babies. So it’s important for me to have someone who is caring, attentive, trusting and reliable watch over them while I’m gone… especially when I’ll out of the country. Karla met all of these expectations. My original sitter canceled on me a few days before my trip… which is stressful. Karla was available and willing to do a meet & greet with a short notice. Immediately my guys were comfortable with her which made me feel comfortable. She was great with regular updates and photos of them… it looked like they were on vacation too😁. If I sent a message, she always responded in a timely manner. We will definitely be back.
Dylan was a great sitter for Tucker! I did a meet and greet before the stay and immediately knew Tucker would have a great time staying with Dylan and his dogs. Dylan sent updates and pictures letting me know how Tucker was doing. I would absolutely rebook in the future!
Aeja was amazing with my dog!! She was so accommodating, friendly and communicative. Took such awesome care of my dog and she had a wonderful time! Sent sweet pics to update me and was so gracious accommodating a last minute request. Would definitely book Aeja again. Thank you so much!!
Juliette was friendly, flexible and accommodating caring for my senior dog on a last minute booking for a week long. She communicated daily reports and sent pictures. It is hard leaving your fur baby with strangers, Juliette agreed to a meet and greet at her home. She has a big fenced in yard and I was at complete ease my trip away. I will plan on booking with her in the future and recommending her to friends.
Priscilla is awesome! She takes such great care of Max with both activity time and cuddles, and I really appreciate that she sends me updates and pictures throughout. He has such a great time with her, Millie, and other pups he might meet. We love and appreciate how he has his own little vacation with Priscilla when we're out of town.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tacoma on Rover is $44.4 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 4,872 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tacoma. 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma.
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 Tacoma 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.
