Jerrie was awesome! We booked her for an extended weekend at the very very last minute (might have even been same day). She took all 3 of my little chaos causers and sent soooooo many photos. This was our first time leaving our newest addition and Jerrie really eased my mind with regular updates and quick communication. I accidentally misbooked and needed to add an extra day, Jerrie was very accommodating. I’m pretty sure our pups had a blast. Will absolutely book again. She has a huge fully fenced yard and there was a good handful of playmates for our babies this weekend. We’re so happy with this service.

Kristin was a great sitter. She gave Josie Jo lots of love and attention and her little dog became Josie’s good friend. She sent photos and videos which made my day. I will definitely ask Kristen to care for Josie Jo again when I travel.

Leanne was very professional. Before Finn’s overnight, we had a meet and greet. She had a form for his needs and information. Finn has anxious behaviors, so she asked many questions to make sure his stay was comfortable when he stayed. When Finn had his overnight, she sent multiple updates with pictures. She had toys for finn that he loved and he loved relaxing on her couch. It was a home away from home. We’re very grateful it went so well.

We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!

Norman absolutely loved Kaela and her family! She is super accommodating, she accepted us last minute and allowed me to adjust my drop off time. I got lots of updates and pics the whole time and he slept all the way to the campsite so I know he had a great time with the kids! If your dog is good with kids I can’t recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I’m in town!

Marianne and her husband clearly love dogs and have so much love and attention to give, which my pooch received. They took him al kinds of fun places around town, and gave him plenty of snuggles. They even included him in a bday treat for their doodle! Easy going, clear communication and they provided lots of photos. We knew our boy was having a blast while we were gone!

People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.

Erica was very attentive and loving to our dog Calvin. He gets so stressed when we go out of town, which in turn causes me a lot of anxiety for leaving him. I was able to talk to Erica before our trip and ask questions, reiterate Calvin's likes and dislikes and just get a general feeling of how she would handle any situations that could potentially pop up. They got along so well that I don't think Calvin was ready to come home, HA! I received several updates throughout my trip and it was clear that she was taking care of him just as I would be. 💚

From the very first meet-and-greet, I knew my baby was in the best hands! She kept me updated with great communication and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was only the second time I’ve ever left my baby with someone else, so I was naturally a little nervous. She made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. Thank you so much for treating my baby like the little princess she is! I could tell she was spoiled with love, attention, and wonderful care. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I will absolutely be booking with you again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and amazing Rover sitter!

FAQs for Boarding - Tumwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tumwater on Rover is $48.15 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 899 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tumwater. 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.

98% of Tumwater 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 Tumwater 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 Tumwater 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 Tumwater.

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 Tumwater 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.
