“Liza was referred by a sitter I’ve used in the past that I have great confidence in. Liza was flexible and easy to communicate with. I appreciated the updates she provided and could see that my kitty felt safe a comfortable in her care. Thanks Liza!”

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home and I absolutely love taking care and spending time with each of them. I have also done some volunteer work at Spokane Humane Society. I love spending time with animals of all kinds and my goal is to study zoology and work at an animal sanctuary. I am available anytime as of now. I can do mornings,afternoons, and evenings. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. We can come up with a plan that works for both of us! I have a fully fenced in back and front yard and friendly pups to keep your dog company. I am very flexible with my schedule to cater to your pet care needs.

About: I’m a mini dachshund mom with 6+ years of hands-on dog care experience. May boy Charlie is my family, and your pup will be treated the same. I know how important routine, comfort, and fun are for a happy pup! I have a fully fenced backyard and live right close to the Chehalis Trail, perfect for walks. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m in-between jobs so I’m home full-time and spend my days with my own mini dachshund, Charlie, so caring for dogs fits easily into my routine. We go on daily walks along the Chehalis Trail and I have a fully fenced backyard for outdoor play. I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, care, and comfort they need throughout the day. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll stick to whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that’s a quick potty break, a longer walk, feeding, or just some play and company. I take my time and make sure your pup feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m easygoing, reliable, and happy to hang out with dogs of all personalities.

About: Pet Care Experience 🐾 I’m a dog lover and proud Westie dog mom, so caring for pets is just something that makes me happy. I have hands on experience with small breeds, including dogs with sensitive skin and allergies, and I understand how important the little details are when it comes to their routines, diet, and comfort. From daily walks to fresh meals and playtime, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and loved just like at home. What Sets Me Apart 💛 Having two Westies of my own has taught me patience, consistency, and how to balance fun with structure. I treat every dog in my care like family, paying close attention to their body language, comfort levels, and unique personalities. Whether it’s helping a shy dog feel more confident or keeping a playful pup entertained, I adapt to each dog’s needs with warmth and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel as secure and loved with me as they do with you because they deserve everything in the world! I work full time, but my schedule is flexible which means I can easily make time for drop ins, walks, or evening visits. When I’m not working, I’m a total homebody who loves spending time cooking, relaxing with my dogs, and enjoying quiet nights in. Your pets will always get my full attention and care, just like my own. 💖 I share my home with two sweet Westies who are a little shy at first but quickly warm up and love making new friends. They’re great at helping visiting dogs feel more comfortable and relaxed while away from home. I keep a camera inside the house so I can check in on everyone when I’m at work and make sure all is well. My dogs follow a consistent routine, but I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure everyone stays secure. You’re welcome to bring along anything that helps your dog feel right at home their favorite bed, toy, or blanket is always encouraged!😊

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).

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve often been called an “animal whisperer” because animals seem to naturally feel comfortable, safe, and understood around me. I truly believe every animal has a sweet soul and deserves patience, tender love, care, and understanding. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply loves to cuddle, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. When your fur baby is with me, they’re treated like family. I’m attentive to their routines, affectionate with them, and committed to giving them the same love and care I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I have open availability and am excited to dedicate my time, attention, and love to your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’m constantly caring for my own two pups—a Pitbull and an XL Bully—so giving dogs plenty of love, attention, exercise, and TLC is already a big part of my everyday life. Aside from caring for my own dogs, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing me to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, keeping up with their routine, or simply giving them some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m eager to share that same TLC with your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐈‍⬛💕 Your pet’s safety is my top priority while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide attentive, hands-on supervision and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, triggers, and individual needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could affect their safety and comfort. I also believe communication is an important part of quality pet care. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for from the moment they’re in my care until they’re back home with you. 🐶🐱💕

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs nearly all of my life, ranging from puppies as young as six months to old seniors. I’ve worked with resource guarding, overly-affectionate, and the downright indifferent doggos, all of which I’ve enjoyed caring for. I’ll approach any dog with respect and kindness, as you should expect a caretaker to do! I have a relatively flexible schedule, allowing me to care for dogs during the week mondays through fridays. Anytime between 9 am and 8 pm is generally best, and I’m open to conversation for other dates and times if applicable. My current dog is crate trained, and before moving here to Washington State we lived with a very heavily resource guarded dog. I’ve overseen their play, both mild and rough, so I have experience with managing more aggressive dogs. Outside of that, physical affection and play is a must in my home and I’m more than willing to smell like dog at the end of the day if your dog likes to play!

About: I have over 10 years of professional animal care and veterinary experience, where I’ve tended to pets with all variations of personality and maintenance. While working as a lead at an animal boarding facility I gained many skills to support animals while stressed and away from their families. Every pet is treated like my own, and I earn their trust by respecting boundaries and accommodating every animal’s personal needs. I am an excellent nail trimmer/bather for cats and dogs who allow me to do so, and am able to pill most pets if needed. My life is centered around pet care, so the rest of my schedule shapes to that routine. The animals in my care come first before other engagements or plans. All items that could cause sensitivities in pets are kept clear of their reach, windows and doors stay closed to prevent walkabouts, animals remain leashed and under direct observation when outside. When several pets are together they are never left without supervision. I administer flea/tick treatment, bathe, trim nails, clean ears, and brush teeth for my personal pets on a schedule. Prescriptions are administered accurately, and individual food needs are met, such as allergies and prescription diets.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m reliable, flexible, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected to their pets at all times. I’m a flexible college student balancing classes, studying, and a part-time job. My schedule changes often, so I’ve learned how to adapt quickly and stay organized while managing school, work, and personal time. Some days are packed with assignments and shifts, while others are more open, which helps me stay balanced and avoid burnout. Even with a busy routine, I make time to stay productive, meet deadlines, and keep up with responsibilities while still having flexibility in my day-to-day life. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their usual routine to help the pet feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after the pet, and giving lots of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training, exercise, or special care needs. I respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, secure, and organized during each visit. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My love of animals has opened several opportunities to make new friends and provide support for my friends by caring for fur babies while they are away. I do have a full-time job in Olympia with great flexibility in my day. This allows me to make mid-day visits if needed for the situation. As I will be caring for your pets in your home, there will be minimal disturbance to their day. Any outings will be to previously approved locations.

About: I have never had a dog of my own which encourages me to find ways to spend lots of time caring for dogs of other owners, and has provided me opportunity to get to know a variety of breeds. I love being outdoors and active, and it's even better when I have a dog with me for those long walks and days in the park. I am very attentive and energetic. I have experience caring for blind dogs. I can offer to care for dogs needing medication, and I can offer dog washing but not any other grooming services. I am currently working only gig-type jobs, and so I have ample flexibility in my schedule to care for your pet. I am generally able to accept same-day bookings, unless I happen to be out of town. When caring for pets in your home or walking dogs, I will consistently share photos. It is important to ensure backyard gates are closed and to be careful when entering a home to avoid a pet getting out. If walking your dog, please share with me their comfort level with other people/dogs, so I can advocate for their boundaries. I also use Rover as a client, so I know how it feels when a sitter has been safe and respectful in my home.

Yvonne had a very calm and confident demeanor from the start. She was easy to communicate with, and quickly took to Jax. She was an asset while we were away. She handled Jax well too. She took him on two walks daily, and he is not easy on leash for me, but she had him walking at her side with slack in the leash. Jax can be reactive towards other animals, but Yvonne handled interactions with other dogs well. She kept me updated with photos and texts throughout the week and even helped with charging our door battery when it died. I'm confident that I will continue to use Yvonne for Jax's care when we are away, and am considering some training sessions with her as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. One of our dogs ended up with an upset stomach and had an accident in the house, and she didn’t hesitate to clean everything up. She truly went above and beyond. Although her visit was only scheduled for 30 minutes, she stayed for nearly two hours to make sure both of our pups were comfortable and cared for. She brushed them, took them outside multiple times, and kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout her visit. Her kindness, thoroughness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lacey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lacey is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 2,546 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lacey. 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.

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 Lacey 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.
