“Great job staying with and taking good care of our dogs, lots of pictures and updates over the course of the stay. It was wonderful knowing they were being well cared for while we were away from them.”
“Paula is amazing! I loved all of the photos she sent, and she was great at communicating. My dogs looooved her. She tidied the house and had the sheets in the wash— really appreciated her extra effort.”
“Pazao took great care of our fur babies. We have two dogs and a cat and they enjoyed their time with her. She sent pictures of them throughout our week away. We really appreciated how well she communicated with us before and throughout the booking. We hope to have her again for housesitting and petsitting in the future.”
“Jonah was great from coordinating the meet and great, meeting the pups, asking questions and communicating. Jonah kept us updated and shared photos during the stay. He was even able to make friends with our antisocial cats. Highly recommend Jonah and will be booking with him again.”
“So grateful Angel was able to sit for our two dogs and two cats for a week. They all have unique needs and he did a great job with them. He sent us detailed reports and I could tell from the pictures that the critters felt comfortable enough to be themselves. He’s been walking them once a week for a few months leading up to us being gone which I think helped make at least us and the dogs feel more comfortable. Can’t speak for Angel :)”
“Michelle is great. I would definitely recommend her to any friends and family who want their pets well taken care of. She took care of my puppy for a week and was very communicative, focused on training and getting outside.”
“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!”
“As always they were fantastic! Our animals love them and they take SUCH good care of our house and our pets. Will absolutely be working with them again next time.”
“Stephanie did an excellent job watching my three boys. I loved the video and photos she sent. The house looks wonderful and I just know my boys were in such good hands. Thank you, Stephanie.”
“Hannah is amazing. She is patient and sweet and loving to my diva dog. She takes such great care of our home and keeps us updated along the way. We feel so much better knowing she is with our lil dog. We adore her and will rebook as often as she will take us!”
“Alicia has been the best sitter for our dog, Ella! She is the only person we turn to when we need someone to walk/watch Ella. Alicia’s genuine love for animals shines through in her care for our girl. She's reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure our dog feels happy and loved. We're so grateful for her!”
About: I’ve pet-sat for multiple families, feeding, walking, playing, grooming. I've had my own dog and cat in the past and currently have 2 bunnies. I’m very comfortable around and absolutely love all pets! I am very active and love a good, long walk with a dog or playing at the park! I have a very open schedule and available every day for some extent of pet care. I am pretty available any and all times of the day as well. It is a regular part of my routine for my own pets. I will follow any rules/typical routines you have for your pets, anything you need to be done. Can stop by for multiple check ins during the day
“Wren took excellent care of my dogs and cats while we were gone for the week. They were well loved, and our house was taken good care of too. I'd definitely recommend her.”
“My dogs loved Mackenzie from the first moment they met her. She emanates kindness and a love for living things. She was available on very short notice, prompt, communicative and thorough. She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”
“Our animals are always healthy and happy when James house sits for us. He’s great at providing updates and making sure our dog has her daily walk. Our home is always cleaner than when we left it. We appreciate James so much and happy to be a repeat client!”
“Yvette helped us out at the last minute for an overnight stay, her flexibility was a life saver! Not to mention my dog loved her right away, I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care, and I am nervous pet parent. Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Just to be clear, Joelle is fabulous. We had a long trip abroad to visit family and were worried about finding someone we could trust with our pup and our home while we were so far away. Enter Joelle. She is communicative, kind, professional, thorough, experienced, and handled everything that came her way (our pup having a seizure, our smoke alarm system going haywire, a massive snow storm, etc) in stride. We could trust that everything was in good hands. And the bottom line is that she genuinely loves hanging with our pup (and the feeing seems mutual), which at the end of the day is what matters the most. We highly recommend her.”
“Brooklyn was a delight from the moment we met. She was very thorough at our meet and greet with her own questionnaire. Updates throughout her stay were perfect.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lewis
Paula was such a great sitter for my dogs! She was amazing and reachable. She provided updates and pictures daily. She would answer immediately if I reached out and when I came back from my trip I found the most beautiful pictures of my dogs being happy. They also received me happy and normal as usual, no distress or anything at all. I’m so happy with Paula’s care and I don’t think I will be changing sitter anytime soon! I really appreciate you giving the best care and love to my babies ♥️
This was our first experience with Rover. Kelsey was wonderful to work with. Our cat took to her immediately when she came for a meet and greet—giving us confidence in leaving her in Kelsey’s care. We received daily texts and many photos. The cat was looking for Kelsey to arrive this morning to visit her!
Jonah was great from coordinating the meet and great, meeting the pups, asking questions and communicating. Jonah kept us updated and shared photos during the stay. He was even able to make friends with our antisocial cats. Highly recommend Jonah and will be booking with him again.
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!
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. 🐾✨

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
