“Ellen was absolutely amazing!! We even had to ask her so last minute and she graciously accepted. We would not hesitate to have her watch our dogs again and will be asking her anytime she’s available. Thanks Ellen!”
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
“Becky did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Buddy while I was away! She provided daily updates with pictures, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Will definitely be rebooking with Becky in the future!”
“Madison is the most reliable sitter I have found in the area, and my three dogs have come to welcome her to their little family pack. Very grateful to have met Maddy and she continues to go above and beyond taking care of them. It honestly helps me feel at ease knowing she is swinging by to see them. If anyone has any large dogs, Maddy has been an absolute champ with my three rambunctious doodles. She also helps me with my hedgehog which makes her even more qualified!”
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Nikki cared for our babies like they’re her own. Super communicative and conscientious, I would recommend her a million times over. I’ve never seen my cats so comfortable while we were away.”
About: Hi everyone, I work from home, and work with guide/service dog organizations in my free time. I am kind and patient with all four legged friends. I understand each pet is unique and I will be providing personalized care accordingly. What matters most to me is that your pet is in a safe environment where he/she can relax and have some fun, while you can have peace of mind about leaving your family member for the day. I can send you pictures and videos of your pets daily. Please let me know if your pet has special needs. Feel free to message me if you have more than one pet and we can see what we can do. Also feel free to let me know if you’d like to add some training as a service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! *Note that for daycare and boarding at my home, all animals need to be on flea and tick medication, free of parasites, and be up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Please let me know if they have any resource guarding or reactive behaviors. Thank you for your understanding! *NB: I’m currently raising a service dog and a guide dog in training for non-profit organizations, which means I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around other dogs and people at this time. Thank you for your understanding! I work from home (except Sunday mornings where I have to be on site) and can assist with pet care most of the time, depending on what is needed, including on weekends. Please reach out if you’d like to schedule a meet and greet! I have a fenced yard - the fence is about 6 feet high. Please let me know if you have an escape artist (jumper/digger/door dasher).
“Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.”
“helena is not just a great dog sitter but really helped me out when i was in a bind with losing my keys. can not thank her or recommend her enough !”
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was 10 and have trained dogs, cats, and fish. My fiance and I currently have two handsome fluffy cats, a leopard gecko, and a successful freshwater aquascape with tetras, a honey gourami, and neocaridina shrimp. I have had dogs for most of my life until about a year ago, when mine passed away. Now, I’m looking to spend some time with others’ furry friends. I work for a children’s museum, so my workday typically starts later and ends by 6. I have Sundays off consistently and a flexible schedule based on events and outreach during the school year, so I’m free to stop by and spend time with your pets as needed. I only do drop-in visits at present, but I would love to set up a time to meet your pets and get introduced to their care routine before I start to care for them. I am happy to do aquatic maintenance and care for exotic pets in your home as well, including reptiles, rodents, and insects. I’ve worked in professional husbandry for fish and invertebrates, so I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to care for all of your pets, not just cats and dogs, though I adore them too. Let me know what you’re looking for and I’m happy to accommodate.
“Hannah has been great. We've had her drop in on our dog several times when our work schedules make for a long day at home for our dog. Hannah is always quick to respond and has been a great help.”
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.
About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.
“Caymee was amazing! She did a meet and greet with us before watching our dogs which we really appreciated! She was perfectly on time, provided us with detailed check ins and took extra care to help us out beyond that. We will definitely be requesting Caymee anytime she’s available to watch our animal.”
About: All my life, I’ve grown up around animals — cats, dogs, chickens, fish, and more — so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I also studied Animal Science for two years before switching career paths, and I’m currently a registered nurse which means I bring patience, responsibility, and attention to detail to everything I do. I currently live at home with my parents, my mini Aussie, and three cats, so animals are a big part of my daily life. My love and passion for animals has never changed, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work part time at a coffee stand and currently seeking a new graduate nursing job. During this time of searching for a job, it gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. It’s easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, and I love having animals be a part of my day. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m very comfortable caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment, and I treat every home with respect and professionalism. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away!
“Darby was wonderful - willing to work with my janky schedule on extremely short notice over the holidays and come take care of my cats. Not only that, but when there was a power outage she noticed that the house was cooler than usual and she made sure things kicked back on so my kitties didn't freeze. If you're still on the fence for who to call for your pets, she's the one!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Olympia
Madisyn did a fantastic job! Our cats were very happy and relaxed when we came home, clearly well fed and loved. Madisyn communicated very clearly with us, shared fun updates, and kept the pet areas very clean (special thanks on that !). Will definitely hire her again!
Our animals love Ruby! She is so sweet, has great energy, and is prepared for any scenario. It’s so helpful that she knows how to administer medication for our special needs babies, and she’s reliable and communicative. Multiple paws up for Ruby, our newest family member!
Second time booking with Ashley and she takes such good care of our two big dogs! Really appreciate her thorough reports, photos and updates when caring for our two boys. So grateful to have her help when we’re out of town! It’s a relief to know that our boys will be taken care of so well.
Bridget is our go-to sitter for our kitties always! She's a great communicator and sends regular photo updates. She takes such good care of them while we are away, we don't need to stress about their care at all. We have several cats and even our two most timid cats come out to see her for pets and attention. When they trust someone it says something. We will always recommend her to anyone who asks. Thank you Bridget!
Sarah was really understanding with our very shy kitty. Cleo hid from her the whole time we were away but Sarah made the effort to ensure Cleo was safe and healthy. Sarah scoop the litter box, checked on the food and water, and just let Cleo know she wasn’t alone. Thank you!
Gabriele is an exceptional dog sitter; knowlegable, capable and notibly caring about dogs, even anxious fearful dogs like mine. I felt cofident and constantly reassured that Gabriele could competently address any issue that could arise with my dog. I would happily recommend and rebook her. She is stupendous!!
Pamela was amazing! First off, I requested her on very short notice, one day in advance, and she was more than happy to help even having never met my pups! She also went above and beyond as to feed my dogs, fill up the water bowls, and pick up their poop when she could! I would absolutely recommend her to anybody and everybody and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Olympia is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,305 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Olympia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Olympia. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
