âJerrie is an amazing dog sitter. She is so loving to the pups and sends pics every day. She is very responsive and the pups have an big, beautiful area to play and run. Jerrie is the best sitter I have ever had and I would highly recommend her to everyone!! Our dogs LOVED her!!â
âDavid was wonderful. Felt our dog was loved, and David communicated well throughout booking, the stay and for picking up. Will definitely use him again. Thank you David.â
âJennifer is an amazing person who is understanding and communication is very good. She is always keeping me updated about my dog. She shows how passionate she is on what she does and I know for sure my dog is happy when she is in her home. I totally will continue to take my furry best friend to her as long as she allows it when out of town :)â
âAnnmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.â
âOur two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldnât be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. 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!â
âWe feel so grateful to have found Desiree for our inaugural Rover booking. She was timely & responsive to our initial questions, open to meeting our KoKo prior, provided sweet updates (and even videos) while we were away, and seemed to really get to know our dog (not just âboardâ her). Weâre grateful for her care & attention during Kokoâs stay and we will come back to her in the future.â
âAbsolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines youâve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!â
âSoon is my go to sitter, if I want my pups to be spoiled! Soon and her family are amazing sitters! I highly recommend her. She is great with sending pictures and regular updates. A+ service and my pups left well cared for and happy!â
âHighly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!â
âKristin is amazing! Left our 2 Frenchies with her for 5 days and they had a great time. Kristin was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times, great communicator, and sent us daily photos and updates. Iâm so happy we found someone in completely comfortable to leave our babies with. đĽ°â
âOnce again, an incredible experience with Pam. unforeseen circumstances had to cut short Pamâs ability to watch my dog Ralph, but she arranged another dog sitter and brought Ralph to them and hung out to make sure he was comfortable. Pam cares for your pet like theyâre her own. The pet sitter she found was also amazing and Iâm so grateful for both of them.â
âTonya and her family did an amazing job watching our dog! You can tell her family treats and loves every dog like their own. Will definitely be booking with her again!â
âTyler and Olivia came to the rescue when a previous boarder cancelled with less than 24 hours notice and Iâm so grateful for them! I loved getting all the pictures and updates while I was gone and I couldnât have been more happy!â
âNorman 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 canât recommend this family enough and will definitely be reaching out next time Iâm in town!â
âWe are so happy we found James, he was great with our malamute, has an amazing fenced yard, flexible with our schedule, and has great energy! Will be booking again soon for sure!â
âJordyn was great with our pets. She gave our dog medicine daily and lots of loves. He got sore paws and she even soaked them! Our two cats were very shy and she worked with them every day to try and make them more comfortable. She gave multiple updates through the day and was very easy to work with. We will definitely be using her again.â
âLisa was great! We had a bit of difficulty getting together for a meet and great due to both our schedules but once we got over that she was amazing! Checked in with me daily and sent pictures of our guy! I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!â
âMy dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. Iâm a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!â

Jerrie was amazing as always! Sending updates daily with photos on Summit's stay with her. Even handled Summit's tummy ache like a champ and kept me well informed til I could get there to pick him up. Very thankful for Jerrie and her boarding services, Summit always returns happy and tuckered out. Thanks!
This is our 3rd time leaving Zoey with Jennifer and I truly could not say enough positive things. Zoey always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for! Jennifer's entire family is so sweet to our girl and we are happy to have found someone trustworthy and reliable.
Iâm 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.
Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldnât be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. 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!
Hazel had a great time staying with Bobbie for the weekend. Bobbie sent text and photo updates throughout the weekend and made sure Hazel had gotten energy out on a walk and went potty before I picked her up, which was very helpful. I could tell Hazel felt comfortable staying with her and would happily work with her again!
Wonderful as always! Iâm so grateful for Laurenâs flexibility and the amazing care she gives my pup. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and sheâs consistently dependable and accommodating with any requests Iâve had. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jess is in such good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tumwater on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 914 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 dogâs 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 dogâs 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 youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
