“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”
“Bobbie is amazing I could not have asked for better she went above and beyond for us. Bo loved her when she met with us before I left! She made time to visit and co.e over before I left. We adore her and rover is awesome 👌”
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.
“Katie came to our rescue after another sitter canceled on us just hours before we needed to leave for our long vacation. She even made time to stop by our home during working hours before we left to make sure she understood the nuances of our home, as well as our cats needs and habits. (Added bonus - she has base access!) She was super patient with our shy boys during her visits, generously giving a little more of her time so they could warmup to her for some daily socialization. She reliably sent daily photo updates on which helped us stay connected to them while we were away. Her pet sitting services are easily 5-stars. Book now without hesitation.”
“Amanda went above and beyond for our dog! She treated him like her own and spoiled him! She is extremely reliable and provides detailed updates while we were away. We will use Amanda every time for our dog!”
“It was a pleasure working with Kelsey while I was gone visiting family. She showed up at the time scheduled, gave my rabbits attention, cleaned up their area often, and communicated consistently. She even brought them lettuce and crafted a little hay roll in a paper towel cardboard for them to play with. I could tell my rabbits were happy and healthy. I would recommend Kelsey and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
“Kyleigh was amazing! With her having watched my dog over Fourth of July weekend, she took great care of her and making sure she was settled in with the additional noise. 100% will use her again!”
“Tabitha always comes through in a pinch. I really appreciate her ability to be flexible with scheduling and check on my dog last minute when I have a work or personal emergency”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and enjoy the unconditional love they provide. I am experienced with dog walking and in home care always taking your fur babies needs into consideration. I am open and flexible to your schedule and pet care needs. First meeting would be about meeting your pet to establish a relationship of trust and then figure what services best suite your fur baby I can provide safe walking and in home pet care. I have had several sessions with a dog trainer myself working on training and handling aggression and fear in dogs. Also interacting with them to provide mental exercises to keep them from getting bored.
About: I am a huge animal lover! I own a cat and dog of my own and have been responsible to take care of my family’s pets since I was young. I have done pet sitting since I was 14. I currently am enrolled in school for most mornings and have a part time job. I still am available to play and spend time with your animals from noon to late evenings from Sunday-Saturday! I make sure doors are closed and environments are safe to play and have an animal in. My top priority is the animals safety at all times.
“We appreciate Katilyn so much! She was prompt, sent lots of pictures of cat and dog, and communicated wonderfully. It was evident when we got home that our pets were happy and well-cared for. Thank you, Katilyn!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs throughout the years and I’m a go to person when it comes to dog sitting and I’m very well trusted. I’m currently working part time at Target and I’m an on demand employee due to me being in college full-time! Weekends i’m wide open and weekdays i’m available in the mornings until 12 then not available again until after 5:15 I make sure they have a safe place to sleep and put their water and food bowl in a convenient place where they could easily get to it

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lewis
Amanda is really amazing with our 12 year old dog. She is on time with all of her visits and leaves wonderfully detailed reports and photos to let us know exactly how things are going. She's also great about giving medicines, which I appreciate since that can get tricky. I trust Amanda with both my dog and my kids and would 100% recommend her.
Angela was nothing short of amazing. My corgi, gizmo isn’t the easiest dog to deal with due to his past in his last home he was in. She walked my little man a lot and made sure he was taken care of. 20/10 would recommend to have her take care of your fur family

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Lewis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
