“Pazao was and is a dream! She took the BEST care of our almost 4 year old English Bull Terrier and we couldn’t have asked for more! She also house sat during her time with Biggie Duane and we are so thankful for the peace her care brought to us. If we could give a 10 star review we would! Thank you Pazao for everything!”
“Angel is the best and takes great care of my babies! I normally do drop ins but this time was cat/house sitting and my cats enjoyed having Angel there to keep them company!”
“Elizabeth was the perfect companion for my dog while I was away for the weekend. She kept me well updated, asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines, and left the house decidedly better than she found it at the end of her pet sitting stay. She went truly above and beyond, and I came home to a happy, relaxed dog!”
“This is our second time having Alicia house sit out Zarya. She is a great guest in our house and takes amazing care of our Zarya. It’s odd to think that we trust someone whom we never actually met in person with our pup and home while out of cell service but she makes it so stress free. Can’t wait for Zarya and Alicia’s next hangout!”
“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.”
About: My name is Tiffany and I am your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I have a background of 10+ years as a veterinary assistant and used to actually manage an independent dog walking business based in Tacoma, WA, alongside some background in dog daycare and even Petsmart. First and foremost - I want to make sure I'm the right fit for your family, so I always want to do a meet-and-greet prior to booking, which is always complimentary. I'm comfortable with giving medication, pill or injection(s) - including SQ Fluids. I have worked with all types of breeds and ages of dogs and have had cats, reptiles, birds, or small animals too! Overall, I am a reliable, communicative and an honest animal lover who's just happy to help! I've been told I'm everyone's favorite Asian auntie. And rest assured, I'm happy to do short visits to build trust and familiarity with your pets - or whatever you feel comfortable with to make sure you and your family feel safe with me. Thank you for taking the time for reading about me and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns! I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently doing pet care for my main job so I will always have time and flexibility for your and your family! I don't tend to travel for the holidays or for leisure, but when I do, I always have a small support group to rely on for help and give you plenty of notice. Whether its a weekend or a late night visit, I'm always ready! I want to care for your family as you would yourself. Over the years, my clients have dubbed me "everyone's favorite Asian auntie" - expect your pets to get a little extra TLC while making sure we don't stray from their normal routine!
“My dog can be difficult with her anxiety and Alysa was willing as well as able to accept the challenge! She sent me updates and my dog was able to adjust by feeling a little more at ease! Words can’t describe how thankful I am! So patient and kind! Grateful beyond words!”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Joelle took great care of my pup while I was away. She went on many walks, got many cuddles, and lots of play time. She also texted me regular updates and was readily available for check-ins. She took great care of my home. Would absolutely recommend her service to anyone.”
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life. We had 2 Doberman when I was a baby which led to me always having a dog or cat in my life. I'd love to meet yours! I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I am available for short, elderly walks to long, youthful puppy runs. Ready to talk, feel free to shoot a message over to talk about your needs for your animals :D I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I like to ensure your pet has a clean, safe environment. All hazards will be picked up promptly, as well as any potty spotted in the yard or accidents in the house.
“Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.”
“Khaytlen did a great job with Warrior. When Warrior first came to her he was very fear aggressive. She did a great job desensitizing him to various environments including the mall. Also, he used to bark historically in the car when someone came close. Her balanced dog training with e- collar and prong collar really works. They are effective communication tools to use. I have never seen Warrior take to someone like that. The e- collar and prong collar teach the dog what you are trying to communicate.”
“Ryen was great! Loved the communication and I felt like I could really trust that my pets were being well taken care of - there really is nothing better than that kind of peace of mind.”
“Evan (and Quinn) were great! They took care of our older, high needs dog and cat. They always send lots of pictures and even had to endure a power outage at our house while they were house sitting.”
“Yvette did an incredible job caring for our elderly Pitt Bull with special needs, as well as our chickens and ducks while we were out of town!! She kept us up to date and sent us pictures! It was so nice to be able to relax knowing our pets were being well taken care of. We will definitely contact her for our future vacations! Thank you Yvette!!”
About: Hi! I’m Paula, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping care for animals on my family’s farm in Colombia and later gained experience working in a veterinary clinic, which taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs and personalities. Today, I share my life with dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion to stick to their routine, I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I have experience with: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior pets • Large breed dogs • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Shy or anxious animals When I’m caring for your pet, communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for pets throughout the day. While I have a few work responsibilities that only require a couple of hours here and there, they don’t interfere with my ability to prioritize pet care. Additionally, while I do have dogs of my own, they are a shared responsibility within my household, meaning their care does not take away from my ability to fully focus on the pets I’m sitting. This flexibility allows me to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special care needs without interruptions. Whether it’s an overnight stay, multiple visits a day, or drop-in check-ins, I ensure that pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention they need while their owners are away. My priority is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide pet sitting exclusively in my client’s home, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their routine. When caring for pets, I follow their specific schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other special needs they may have. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting my care to match their personality—whether they need extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or space to relax. Additionally, I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring a tidy environment while they’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Julia has now watch our two older dogs a couple of times. She has taken great care of them in our house both times. They are well taken care of and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Payton communicated with us well, followed our provided care directions, and took some wonderful pictures of our boy while in her care. Would definitely request her services again in the future.”
“Our babies were very well taken care of while we were away, and we returned to a home that was in better condition than what we left! We received daily updates with multiple photos and the boys were taken out for walks every day. Cannot recommend enough!! Will be a returning client, for sure.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Lewis is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lewis
Jasmine was such a great sitter for Dakota! Always kept me updated on their day with plenty of photos - which I loved. If I were to have forgotten anything, I would have been at peace knowing her home was well stocked with plenty of pet essentials. And she had a great space for Dakota to be comfortable. I would 100% book again!
Tiffany was absolutely amazing with our dogs. We’re so grateful to have found her through a mutual friend. She provided updates every day, with the cutest photo collages and sends additional updates even if you don’t ask for them. The dogs did so well that I feel like they are even calmer and relaxed thanks to her experience as a vet tech, trainer, etc. We can’t wait to book Tiffany again this year. There’s no one I’d trust my dogs with than her. I highly recommend booking her because you won’t find a better person to love and care for your fur babies. Especially someone who treats them like their own. Thank you so much! Very much looking forward to booking Tiffany again.
Litsi was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs & chickens and treated our home like her own. She went above and beyond and kept everything organized before we got back. Her communication was thoughtful and reliable, and she truly made our time away feel easy and worry-free. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless space. We’re so appreciative and would love to have her sit for us again!
Zoey response was very prompt on my short notice request. Within hours she made arrangements for a meet and greet. She was very attentive with our discussion of the boys feeding plan and a walk around the neighborhood. Wonderful to see photos of the boys. We have plans for her to take care of the boys again.
We had a funeral so our booking was short notice and Alexus still accomodated our last minute schedule (and this was the first time she watched our pups). She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. We’ve had really bad experiences with other sitters where you can tell they didn’t really do what you asked but we can tell Alexus did. We know our dogs weren’t on the couch and they were walked the way they need to (so they don’t chew anything up). The house was spotless. She took out the trash, started a load of dishes, and stripped the bedding. Our dogs LOVED her when she came to do a meet and greet too!! We appreciate it so much and hope to keep using Alexus for our pups!
Alysa was an absolutely wonderful house sitter! She took such great care of all our animals and clearly treated them like her own. Our home was left spotless, communication was prompt and friendly, and we loved receiving updates and photos—especially of our pups enjoying their walks! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would 100% trust Alysa with our animals again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐾✨
Britt was amazing! As this was my first time booking through a service like this she made the experience painless and was quick to respond and answer questions. She was great with my boy over the weekend, sending little updates and photos and being very communicative about things going on. It’s clear she loves animals and cares a lot about the ones in her care. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be booking again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Lewis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Lewis on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,875 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Lewis. 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 Fort Lewis 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 Fort Lewis 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 Fort Lewis 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Lewis. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
