“Our dog, a golden lab, settled in almost immediately and felt right at home. Colin is easy-going and creates a very loving and safe space. Our dog loved spending the night. She got walks and time chasing a frisbee. She will be back for a longer stay.”
“Leanne was an amazing sitter for our pup, Maple, for a week. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated. Maple enjoyed her company, walks, and snuggles! I would 100% recommend Leanne and our family will definitely rebook with her again!”
“The boys loved staying here. They have a great home and the other pups they watch are all great with my boys. They get ouside and get out a lot of energy. My pups came home sleepy and happy! 10/10 recommend.”
“Highly recommend: safe and secure location, outstanding communication…daily updates and photos, only takes one client at a time, aware of current canine respiratory disease…clean and isolated space, dog door provides anytime-access to fenced back yard, easily handles food and medication requirements, their own dogs are welcoming of new pack members. Highly recommend.”
“Bobbie has a genuine love and passion for dogs and it shows. She’s awesome and highly recommend! My mini schnauzer instantly fell in love with her as she made him feel at home while keeping him active with walks and visits to the dog park. He’s tuckered out after so much play and will definitely book with her again! Thank you!”
“Jamie has watched Honey over night a few times now, she is absolutely wonderful with her and truly has a warming heart for animals. She is great with updating me throughout honey’s stay during the evening while I am at work, and will send me pictures. She has a big yard for dogs to run and play, and its fenced and gated. Jamie is so kind, I give her 5 stars, and I 100% recommend her to watch over your fur babies.”
“Alison was absolutely incredible with our dog, Woody! She watched him for 11 days while we were away on our honeymoon. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, so we knew Woody was having a great time! She was great with communication, and very flexible with us as well. Highly recommend! ☺️”
“Lisa was amazing with my little old man. She was so patient and kind. For never being boarded or anything except with immediate family, she made him feel comfortable. She was so good about keeping me posted about him regularly. I would definitely recommend!”
“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“I had an unusual situation in that the dog (Tabitha) belonged to my deceased father (in another town) and I needed to bring her here to get her spayed and re-homed. Tabitha was going through a lot of adjustments and Cierra and Tanner took Tab in and loved on her and made her feel safe! In the few days under their care, Tabitha quickly became more comfortable and clearly felt safe! I will forever be grateful for the love and support you gave Tabitha during these tricky times!! You two have been our personal angels. Thank you, thank you!!”
“Sheena was awesome. She took wonderful care of our dog, Lola, and sent lots of picture updates to make sure we knew Lola was having a great time. I’d recommend Sheena to anyone in the area needing to board their fur babies.”
“Cale and his wife are fantastic. They took the time to get to know Scout at drop-off, asking thoughtful questions about her care and preferences. During Scout’s stay, we received frequent photos of Scout getting snuggles and walks on their property. And then at drop-off they shared keen observations and details about her stay. We would book again with Cale in a heartbeat.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Katey was great with my two dogs. Sent pics, videos and took them on walks to different locations. Will def book with her if we go out of town again. Thank you.”
“Jill could not be better. Our little dog was right at home with her. We had regular updates that made us feel great - knowing he was in such good hands was a load off. We will absolutely book with Jill again.”
“James took amazing care of our dog Arlo over an extended weekend. James sent photos and a video. We could tell that Arlo was having a great time playing and running around with the other dogs. We felt comfortable knowing he was in a safe and comfortable home setting. We will definitely use James again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tumwater
Erica was simply amazing with my dog! I have a nervous dog, and so I wasn’t sure how she would do at another person‘s home, but Erica was amazing from even before my dog stayed at her house. We met beforehand, she was really reassuring to me, and she just has amazing vibes and energy that really made me feel confident about leaving my dog with her. She sent updates every day of the stay, and it was obvious that they treated her like a family dog, which is amazing. My dog has never been so calm as she was at Erica‘s house. Can’t recommend her enough!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Tumwater on Rover is $47.9 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 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 908 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tumwater. About 92% of Tumwater 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.
