“Momo was relaxed when we picked him up, which is not his normal mode outside of our family. Andrew and Mariah were very communicative and professional. Very much appreciate them!”
“Margaret was a great sitter for our dog Xena. She was responsive, polite, and provided regular updates during Xena's boarding. Xena typically takes a bit to get comfortable, but was quick to integrate with Margaret's dog Mochi. They quickly became best friends and she was clearly enjoying her stay. Thanks Margaret!”
“My 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. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!”
“Poppy and Baloo have stayed with Darby twice now. She is extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and passionate about our dogs. At this point, I would probably cancel a trip before leaving our dogs with anyone else. Darby takes the stress out of leaving our furriest friends behind when we take trips.”
“Jon and Anna took SUCH GOOD CARE of Oly dog. I never had to worry for a moment if he was being well looked after with excellent and frequent updates and pictures to let me know what this goofy little maniac was getting up to. Would unequivocally recommend to anyone looking for outstanding care.”
“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.”
“Yvonne was absolutely amazing with our high-energy lab pup, Bailey. She had so much patience and understanding, and many skills to help make for a positive and comforting stay for Bailey. I highly recommend for not only boarding but any training needs. Will be using Yvonne for all of our future boarding and training needs!”
“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.”
“Lisa and her family were awesome! So grateful to have someone to look after my fur baby and I know he was loved and well cared for. Great communication and really loved receiving the photos and videos while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jordyn 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.”
“Jill is fantastic! If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. She's so kind, caring, and communicative. She and Josie took such good care of our little pup, and treated her (and us!) like family. She sent us pupdates, photos, and video of our little dog having the time of her life. We felt so at ease and knew our baby was being adored and cared for. We all had a great experience and we couldn't be thankful enough to Jill for treating our girl like a little princess.”
“Michael is AWESOME! He was so great with our young & rambunctious dog, as well as with us humans, too. ? He had a lot of great ideas to help us work with our pup on some manners. We highly recommend Michael and would absolutely board with him again. ?”
“Jo did a great job with our dog! She sent us so many photos and updates about their day which gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was especially gracious with our dog who was experiencing some separation anxiety. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Katey is a wonderful sitter! She is warm & welcoming and her house & yard are lovely. Our dogs felt instantly at home and when we returned it was clear they had been 100% comfortable with Katey. We cannot recommend her enough and hope to book with her again. Thanks, Katey!”
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“Jamie took wonderful care of my shy dog. She has an easy going vibe and a great little house with a good sized back yard for running around. My dog is not one to warm right up but he was letting her pet him and sleeping in her bed in no time. I got the cutest photos which put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my trip.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Tumwater is $48
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tumwater
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!
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.
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.
Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Tumwater on Rover is $48.13 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 917 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tumwater. About 91% 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.

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.
