“I am very pleased to see the pictures that Robin has posted have a gray tabby that is petrified of strangers in the house and after a year plus of Robin being our person . she is now coming out freely in the house and relaxing while Robin is here when we are gone she’s a phenomenal person that I recommend her to anyone”
“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”
“Rachel did a great job watching Riley. She sent daily reports and pictures. We will definitely use her again the next time we go away. She responded fast to messages. Riley was very comfortable with her.”
“Amazing sitters that really treat your pets as their own! Best experience we’ve ever had with a cat sitter and now feel more confident about leaving our little guy for up to a week.”
“Omg from our little meet and greet to the actual house sitting, Kelsey has been so communicative! As someone with anxiety she has made this so much easier she sent so many photos!!! I can tell she actually spent quality time with my two cats. I would trust her again with not only my apartment but with my two little cats any day.”
“Diane was wonderful! Desto loved her immediately and had so much fun with Diane while I was gone. She provided plenty of photos and updates which was great to see. I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to care for their pets. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Tamara is excellent! Very easy going, diligent, and considerate. She did so well with my awkward little boy and he warmed up to her overnight (which is fast for him)! Highly recommend her for anyone who has an anxious fur baby like me.”
“Daisy was great and we would recommend her to anyone. She was our first pet/house sitter ever and she made our experience great. We came home and the house looked just like we left. She was great at sending pictures and video updates while we were away as well. Responsive, friendly, good w/ animals. Would absolutely book again.”
“Melissa is a PHENOMENAL Rover. Above and beyond. We've probably used 8-9 rovers across 3 states over the past 6 years and she is one of the best. Took the girls on extra long exercise down to their favorite beach and cleaned them off afterwards, took our trash out to the curb even when I forgot to ask, kept everything clean and checked in regularly. Even started wash with guest room sheets before she left. Most importantly, Happy happy dogs. Pictures of Tova (our more aloof pup) snuggling Melissa Day 1 spoke volumes. Will absolutely book with her whenever we can. 10/10”
“Becky was great. She was very responsive to my “worried mom” texts, especially since this was our first time using Rover and our dog has special needs. She took him for lots of walks. She sent lots of pictures and even made a magnet that she left on our fridge with his name on it. When we got home, Rocky’s mood was much better than when we board him at the kennel, which made him happy. We would definitely have her watch our baby boy again.”
About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.
“Olivia and Tyler were amazing! Last minute booking for a family emergency and they helped make it stress-free. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog, we will definitely be repeat customers of Olivia and Tyler!”
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.

“Marnie took great care of our two dogs and our home while we were traveling for the Fourth of July weekend. She stuck to their schedule and always fed them and took them out on time and was very communicative throughout her stay. She also sent us lots of photos. Would highly recommend Marnie and book her again!”
“Ehryn is truly exceptional! She played with Charlee, got to know her, cared for her. Ehryn also cared for our yard as we had arranged and left detailed written messages about her activities. Clearly a capable and loving companion for our pooch.”

FAQs for House Sitting - East Olympia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Olympia on Rover is $55.5 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,479 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Olympia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Olympia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Olympia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Olympia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
