Constant updates, pictures, regular fetch/play time...Henry had a blast and truly had his own mini-vacation!! It was so clear he bonded with them and was well loved and tended to, just as if he were theirs. Such a relief to have such an amazing care giver so we were able to truly relax on our trip knowing Henry was in great hands. I’ll definately be using Bobbie again and would highly recommend her!!! ❤️??”

“My husband and I would give 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no hesitation! We boarded our shy diabetic cat with Qing while traveling overseas, and we've never felt more at ease! We received dozens of pictures AND videos every single day along with detailed care notes and it felt like we never left our cat! Medications and injections were done PERFECTLY and closely observed by Qing! Because we had sitter messed up the meds before and can't risk it anymore with a non-professional. It is even better that she has indoor and outdoor security motion cameras, so our kitty is always safe and comfortable in her calm home when we go on next trips. We highly recommend Qing for special and complex needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tumwater
Our dog is elderly and has several health problems. Annmarie is very kind and caring, and we felt completely comfortable leaving her in Annmarie’s care. She was attentive to her needs and treated her with warmth and compassion. We’re very grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again in the future.
Lauren is the only person we would leave our Frenchie with for our longer vacations. It means a lot to be able to go on vacation worry free knowing my boy will be so happy! The communication is top notch and the care unmatched. You are truly gifted at caring for animals and go above and beyond every time! Thank you Lauren!
I’m so glad I found Leanne! I needed a last minute sitter and she was available and very accommodating. My dog requires some extra care and Leanne provided that without hesitation. I felt immediately that my dog would be safe and comfortable in her home and she was! I will definitely book with Leanne again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tumwater on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 888 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.
