“Thanks for taking care of mimi during my short trip and making her so comfortable. I know she had a little issue at the start so thank you for handling that with care and grace, I was very appreciative ❤️”
“Dylan was a great communicator and kept us updated with pictures during our pups stay. Nice yard dogs to run around. I’d be happy to leave Eve with him again 🙂”
“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.”
“Lộc N. provided exceptional care for our fur baby, he took care of our dog as if it was his own. He provided constant updates with photos, videos and texts. We were at ease knowing our dog was being well cared for.”
“Heather did such an amazing job watching my dog. I was fostering a dog who I honestly didn’t know too much about but was getting away for the weekend, and she messaged me multiple times throughout the day, reassuring me everything was going smoothly. She was super kind, and seemed to understand my scared little foster pup super well. I would highly recommend Heather!!!”
“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.”
“Marisol is the best! Last year, I had to board Conrad while I traveled for work. I chose a reputable doggy daycare and boarding near my home. It did not go well! Too many dogs and Conrad did not get any individual care, then got sick from it to top off the bad experience. So, when I had to travel this time, a friend said they had good experiences with Rover. Looking at profiles, Marisol and her home looked like a good fit for my senior little guy. Marisol, her home, and Twinkie were a perfect fit! Conrad struggles with separation anxiety usually, but Marisol’s routines fit mine and Conrad settled right in! I appreciated knowing he was getting lots of loves and attention through daily pictures and updates Marisol will definitely be our go to sitter when needed in the future!”
“Angela is an excellent dog sitter. Our dog had a fun vacation of her own at Angela's home. She had the run of the house and yard with another dog to play with and Angela sent us pictures of her having fun. We have left our dog with Angela twice now and already planning a third trip without our young dog because we know she is in good hands with Angela.”
“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!”
“What a wonderful experience having my fur baby Katie board with Diahann H. and her family. My 6 year old Maltese is a timid dog very co-dependent on me and has had little experience with other small dogs. I was so pleased that she bonded with this wonderful family and other small dogs in their care, she settled in, ate well and made herself at home with lots of pictures from Diahann to show how well she did. Highly recommend them to care for your loved ones and will be thrilled to use them again. Margie Holmes”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Benji and Lola. She kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“Fantastic all around. Left my dog in Kate's care over Christmas. During this time I was frequently sent pictures and updates of my pup. There was never a doubt in my mind to that he was being taken care of with Kate. She's awesome and you won't regret boarding your four legged family with her.”
“Anita was so wonderful for our dog, Bentley. Bentley is paralyzed and in diapers, so very special needs. She sent pictures and messages every day, and I was so pleased to see Bentley in perfect condition when getting back home. I say this because with a handicap dog, sores and rashes are very common, but he had none. It's like I had been taking care of him the entire time. Bentley will absolutely stay with Anita again!”
“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.”
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!
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”

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!
Brittany was amazing! My baby seemed to have had a blast! She communicated quickly and didn’t make me feel like I was bothering her checking on my pup. She sent adorable pics that made it a little easier leaving my pup for such an extended time. I would 1000% recommend her. Thank you, Brittany!!
Molly is outstanding simply put. I brought my pup to her for the past four months and had zero complaints. She loved her like her own, kept her safe and comfortable, assisted me with giving her medications & even went out of her way to drop her off at home every night. Choosing someone to care for your loved one is a difficult decision, but there is no one else I’d rather my dog be with. We miss Molly and thank her for all her help and love she gave to Miss Finley!
Kirsten was wonderful with Uma! She took great care of her, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel comfortable knowing Uma was in good hands. She was attentive to Uma’s needs, patient with her puppy energy, and genuinely cared about making sure she was comfortable. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Uma was well cared for and happy during her stay. I would definitely recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Our dog Max is a new rescue and came to us with a lot of separation anxiety. We were needing a sitter who could stay home with him most of the time, and Juliette was able to accommodate! Given that he's small, she also didn't take on any other dogs during his stay, just to make sure he would be safe and comfortable. We appreciate it!
Jill and Glen just watched Nova over the 4th of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!
Monica was amazing with our cat!! Normally she’s very shy and can sometimes just remain hidden when boarding, as we don’t board her much. However, within minutes Monica shared pictures of her out and about which meant she was very comfortable with her. Throughout the trip she shared a lot of pics as well as updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend Monica and would use her service again. Thank you Monica!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
