“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.”
“I'm new to boarding my dogs so I was a bit apprehensive. She takes good care of my dogs and keeps them happy when I'm not around. That's all I can ask for. The fact she is walking distance is a bonus.”
“Gisella was amazing at responding to my last minute message to watch my Frenchy Mochi. She did an amazing job updating me throughout my shift his activities and with any questions she had. She also sent lovely photos. I would use Gisella again. 😊”
“Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.”
“Mollie and fam are just an absolute blessing. Clifford loves them tremendously and feels like home when he is there. Could not have asked for better sitters. 100% recommend and will continue to book.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Kate and we had a great experience! It’s always tough to leave your pet with someone new, but Kate was super sweet and I felt super comfortable after our meet and greet. She was very flexible with our drop off/pick up time which we really appreciated. She also sent us plenty of pictures and videos and even gave our pup a bath before he was sent home. I would absolutely recommend Kate’s services if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet while you’re away.”
“Angela was fantastic with our two senior dachshunds, Daphney and Phoebe. Her communication was excellent, she sent thoughtful updates while we were away, and her home was clean and welcoming. Most importantly, she took great care of our girls and made us feel completely at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“It was our very first time leaving our 5 month old puppy for a trip out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Brittany (and her boyfriend Jeremy!). Our fur baby had a great time staying at their home and got along so well with their pup Isis + their kitties, we will definitely use them again in the future!”
“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!)”
“Eileen took great care of my dog, Sophie! Kept me updated daily on how she was doing. Very friendly and easy to work with, as well as very flexible to my schedule! Will definitely be taking Sophie back! ?”
“Elizabeth is great! She was very responsive when I had to book a last minute dog sitting and was very friendly and helpful in general. We got some cute updates of our dog feeling right at home with her and the other pups that were around, which led to a stress free vacation. I’m definitely going to be booking again with Elizabeth and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Val was wonderful with my little Tillie. Her care and concern for my older girl made me feel completely comfortable leaving her with Val when I went away on a trip. Tillie had lots of furry friends to hang out with, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures of her stay while I was away. I will definitely take her back to stay with Val again.”
“First time using rover and found Noelle to be a great fit for our 2 bigger dogs. She has years of experience with animals and it shows in her attention to detail and the level of care she provided. We got updates with pictures and videos all through their stay. She took them on walks, they got a chance to play with her own dogs. They came back to us happy and worn out! We will definitely use Noelle again!”
“Thanks Sherry for taking such great care of my pet! She was incredibly responsible throughout the day care today. She always provides timely photo and videos and takes absolutely great care of Charli and she came home so happy that I highly recommended Sherry! Definitely will book Again!”
“I had to leave kind of suddenly for an emergency in Spokane and I reached out to Courtney. She was so nice from the get go and wanted to do a little meet and greet with Peyton which I was unable to because I had an emergency and she was understanding about that but it shows she does what she can to keep your pet safe and comfortable . Peyton immediately fell in love with her! He so comfortable with her. She was sending pictures and making sure he got so much attention! If you need someone to give your pet attention it’s Courtney!”
“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”
“100% recommended. I met Jace through Rover just two days before Christmas, when I was desperately searching for a new pet sitter while I was out of the country. The sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly decided to kick out my senior dog with special needs. Jace had just recently started his business on Rover, and after a single phone call, I immediately realized how experienced and trustworthy he was—especially as a dog owner himself. He quickly put my mind at ease and not only took Frida in on extremely short notice, but also rescued her from a negligent situation with the sitter I had hired. Jace took care of my dog Frida for two and a half weeks, helped get her potty schedule back on track, gave her so much love, and sent the cutest daily updates while I was away. I don’t just highly recommend Jace—I am truly grateful for him. What a wonderful human. 10 out of 10 stars. He’s the best, and I will 100% hire him again.”

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!

The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 5,019 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tacoma. About 91% of Tacoma 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.
