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!

Jena was absolutely wonderful with Honey while we were in the hospital. She was incredibly kind, communicative, and made what could have been a stressful time feel so much easier for us. We received regular updates and photos, which meant a lot and gave us total peace of mind knowing Honey was happy and well cared for. It's clear Jena genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Honey seemed so comfortable with her. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

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.

Lizzy was more amazing than I can put into words! She took such good care of Tommy and made me feel so comfortable by sending me lots of pics and updates. She took Tommy and her dogs to the dog park every day to get out energy. It felt like he was at summer camp! She even let Tommy sleep in the bed with her. I will definitely use her as my sitter from now on!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life growing up and I have cared for them since I was a kid. Our family has owned several dogs over the years and I understand how stressful it is to find a reliable sitter. I am currently working full time from home so I can provide plenty of attention throughout the day with a large yard and walks mornings and evenings, in the many parks and trails right here in browns point. Full time working from home so I can give most of my attention to taking care of your loved ones. I like to provide morning and evening walks in the many trails and parks in the dash point neighborhood Large back yard for playing with many plants and trees. Clean and safe home free of hazards and good security. Very walkable neighborhood with parks and trails nearby

Carmen was absolutely awesome with our pup! She sent wonderful updates with detailed info and pictures/videos and did an especially good job enforcing good potty habits and new commands for our puppy who’s still learning. I’d highly recommend her for any sitting needs, she’s got a repeat customer in us for sure!

I really don’t want to let out the secret that Marisol + Rob + Milo are the best of the best, but they are, so secret is out. A great sitter who loves your dog and your dog loves back is priceless, and Marisol is truly one of those rare people who you instantly trust with your pet — and also get excited for your pup to visit! We were on a cruise for 8-9 days and it is such a relief and blessing to not worry about your dog and know that they are having the time of their life. When we drop off Dolce, she acts like she is reunited with her home. Thank you so much for everything - always :)

Kelly's care for my two big pups was exceptional, I booked her again immediately. My dogs do not normally eat well when separated from us due to anxiety, but they were so comfortable in her care that they devoured all the food we left! She did wonderful adapting to the different needs and personalities of my two dogs that have a 10yr age gap. I got regular picture and video updates, too. We initially planned to use this service as a one-time thing, but Kelly will be our go-to for any future dog sitting needs we have!

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!

I am always nervous leaving my puppy with strangers but Kate set up a meet and greet. I brought my golden to her house and my pup played with her two lab pups while we talked.  Her husband and her asked me questions and I did the same.  I felt at ease after meeting them. I booked two days of boarding with Kate.  She constantly sent me picture and video updates while I was out of town. I was super happy about that and all my worries were forgotten as she gave me updates on my pup.  She also asked questions when my pup wasn't eating due to being in a new place but I wasn't worried at all because I knew my pup just missed being home.  She also took out my pup often to potty since sometimes when she gets excited, she does a potty indoors. I picked up my puppy two days later and I knew she had a great time.  It was like a puppy retreat, especially since she had her two dogs with play with most of the time.  Overall, I would totally recommend Kate as a dog sitter or for boarding your pup. She is very personable and cares for your dog just like hers!

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tacoma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 4,918 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.
