“Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!”
“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!”
“Mariana was a great sitter for our pups. She was very transparent in making sure it was OK if she had other dogs at the house. She was very thorough and made me feel like she really cared for the boys. She sent tons of pictures which were great! They came home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Kristin was great to work with and she was very reliable and happy to have our dog in her home. She was very responsive and worked with us on any special needs for our dog. Kristin sent us pictures during the visit and kept us updated and was great about flexible drop off and pick up. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.
“Charlie has such a great time when he goes and visit his friends at Miss Heather‘s! He comes home from being properly spoiled and just sleeps. And I can tell he misses it there already. Already looking forward to the next visit!”
“Keana was a life saver this weekend and she and Milo just clicked. I was nervous about their interaction since it was the first time meeting but milo was a good boy per usual. We will definitely see her again ❤️”
“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!”
“Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!”
“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”
“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.”
“Scout was happy and well cared for. She loved rolling around in the grassy back yard. Amanda took Scout on walks and for a swim which is one of her favorite activities. I so appreciate all of the pictures. Pick up and drop off was such a great option for our situation. It’s so nice to leave your pet with someone you can trust! Thank you Amanda!!”
“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”
“This was the first time that we have had Lucky stay with someone outside of family and I could not have been more grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They were incredible! They provided me with peace of mind that Lucky would be well taken care of. They were quick to respond and sent me a video of lucky having a fun time. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog during the day or overnight, I would highly recommend them!!”
“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.”
“Kelly took great care of our pup during her two night sleepover. She was very responsive and flexible with our schedule, and we would highly recommend Kelly (and Max)!”
“I could not have been more pleased with the care my fur baby, Toby, received from Tobi. First, we had a meet and greet where Toby was introduced to the resident dogs. They were as welcoming as Tobi and her husband! On the day I dropped Toby off for his stay, he went right in without any nervousness, not even looking back at me. Tobi sent me updates with photos almost daily, and I could see Toby was blending right into the family (he slept on the bed with everyone at night.) I will definitely call upon Tobi for care of my Toby in the future. Great experience!”

Saleen is kind and laid back. She was super understanding and accepting of my Okeena Bean. <3 Bathed her, sent photo updates, constant communication! My dog is not the easiest dog in the park. >.< lol. Saleen did not make me feel bad at all. Like a lot of people do. Extremely greatful for her help with my baby. Saleen is AMAZING!
Savannah was an excellent dog sitter while I was out of town. They did everything in their power to ensure I felt comfortable and confident leaving Georgia behind in their care. They proactively offered details on their schedule to ensure that my dog received the care I was expecting and went above and beyond to administer my dogs medication by making her homemade pill pockets, which I was particularly delighted by. 10/10, would choose to dog sit again!
Our two poodles had a wonderful stay! She was caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them for the day. They came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Wonderful care & attention to my sweet older dog! Very responsive and thoughtful with texts and photos!! I felt assured all the love and care was taken with Allie and appreciated your ability to adjust and administer extra care with medication and ointment. Thank you Alyssa!!
Mckayla was absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of our dog Ivy, especially being given short notice. Mckayla’s dog and our dogIvy hit it off and snuggled and played well together. Ivy received lots of walks, snuggles, and was well loved. Thank you again Mckayla for being amazing! Will definitely book again with you:D
Jennifer was great! She’s very knowledgeable which made us feel more comfortable leaving our pup for the weekend. Reign seems to have had a great time and learned something new! We would absolutely recommend booking with Jennifer, we will likely be repeat customers. :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tacoma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tacoma on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,918 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.
