“Pamela was great with our doodle, she kept us up to date with photos daily and details on how things were going which we really appreciated!! 10/10 would definitely book with her 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. 💚”
“Cale was so awesome to our girl! Daily updates accompanied by photos helped us rest easier during our travels. Would absolutely leave our precious pup in his care again in the future!”
“Sheena is the best! We always trust her with our dog, Jasmine- in fact I think Jasmine looks forward to us traveling so she can visit Sheena and her son Carter and get all the snuggles!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Rhonda is amazing with my timid girl! This is our second stay and our pup was so happy with Rhonda and her sweet dog Brodie. Communication was great with updates and pictures. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our girl received.”
“Darby was amazing with our two pups! They were calm and displayed trust the moment they met her, which meant so much to us. She sent the sweetest photo updates and little stories throughout their stay (couch cuddles, movie night, adventure walks, and exploring her garden). She was also patient with our picky eater, Kona, and made sure she felt encouraged and cared for. Both dogs ate well, slept great, and came home happy and relaxed. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our pups like family. We’ll definitely be booking with Darby again!”
“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Bobbi was wonderful with our golden. We received many photos / videos of her playing. She made lots of friends and even got to play in the water hose (her favorite). She also followed her food / meds instructions perfectly. Definitely recommend Bobbi :)”
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our 120 lb dog. She kept us updated the entire time we were gone with pictures and messages. She took him on walks and even gave him a Thanksgiving treat. He loved her dogs and had so much fun the entire time. He got treated like he was part of the family the entire time he was there.”
About: I am currently a graduate student for nursing and want to get a pet of my own but want to wait until I finish school. So walking other people's dogs and pet sitting is the next best thing! I grew up with pets and have been dog sitting/house sitting since high school, including house sitting for my sports coach. Looking forward to meeting your pets! I work four ten hour shifts so I am only available on Wednesdays or on the weekends. I am not available M, T, Th, or Fri I am very cautious when taking dogs on walks. I always avoid interactions with other dogs to protect the dogs I am walking. Interactions between dogs can vary and I'd rather keep the dogs safe.
“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!”
“Lauren and Dalton took great care of our dog. They were caring, accommodating and helped our dog feel right at home. I loved how well they both listened to our instructions for caring for our dog and how well that communicated with us along the way.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Tumwater is $48

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
