“I was looking for someone who could give my cat his medicine and keep an eye on him incase he was in need of anything. Jenna was awesome and I can't wait to have her come cat sit again. Thank you Jenna!”
“Kasey was incredible with our pups, Eddie and Jennie, while we were gone for five days. We told her all their little quirks and favorite things, and she was so thoughtful and accommodating with everything. She took them on hikes every day, planned play dates, sent us tons of pictures, and made sure they got all the cuddles they could ever want. We ended up having travel delays, and Kasey didn’t hesitate for a second she happily kept them an extra night and made the whole situation so much less stressful for us. We’d recommend Kasey over and over again. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks for being great Kasey 🤗”
“Addy took great care of our pets, including our nervous dog. Communication was great, all instructions were followed and she even took extra steps at our request to help the dog calm down when he had some difficulty adjusting. We would definitely book with her again!”
“As always, Johanna did a wonderful job and she makes me feel comfortable leaving my cat when I go out of town. I know he will be in good hands and get all the attention he wants.”
“Our pups adored Brougan. They were very well taken care of. One had a broken toe nail and that required watching him and putting on bandages so he wouldn't lick it. Brougan also watered all of plants for us and left the house clean. We will definetly be using Brougan again. Thank you.”
“Jerra did a great job with our elderly cat. We’re always nervous to leave him with someone new, but she took good care of him, including administering medications. He was happy and relaxed when we got home!”
“Excellent experience with my pup. She arrived a few days early to meet my dog, asked great questions and then remained in contact during the weekend sending photos and updates.”
“Karen was wonderful to work with for our last-minute family trip. We are so grateful for the first meet and greet and overnight stay with our two pups. She sent us photos, updates, and the extra steps to tidy up the house from the laundry and linens. We’re definitely planning to book with her again!”

“laurin took great care of my dogs - two senior pups. she made sure special instructions were followed and ensured there were frequent checkins. great communication and left home clean. pups were very loved with laurin!”
“It was amazing that Noah was able to accept our booking a week before our event. He was extremely communicative and sent tons of pictures with updates! I was able to be away from my doggies in peace and I came home to the happiest boys! Thank you Noah!!”
“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.”
“Kendall is an amazing women in so many ways. She stayed with my two boy dogs and became their second mom. The boys were so calm when I got home.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lacey
I think I have found my favorite Rover person! I loved how Kylie kept me updated, everyday . . . twice a day . . . re: Summer and Tooter. How they were doing, what they were doing. :) Made me happy and I felt comfortable being away while she was there. I would totally recommend Kylie for your Rover-needs!
This was our first time using Rover and booking with Erika. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Leonard in our home while we were away. Leo is a shy and often skittish senior cat. He is pretty set in his ways and has a fair amount of quirks to his care. Very quickly, we felt confident and comfortable that Erika connected with Leonard and was thoughtfully following our guidance perfectly. She sent us daily updates and adorable pictures, asked questions when needed and made an effort each day to figure out what he liked and needed. It was fun to see Leonard doing things at home that we thought he wouldn’t do while we were away, like being carried, danced with, rolling around on his back, playing with toys, and cuddling in bed or in a blanket fort. This was a testament to how comfortable he was with Erika and the time she spent with him. Erika navigated the quirks of our old home and left it immaculately clean and tidy. She communicated clearly with us, was kind and responsive. Thank you Erika for a helping us enjoy our vacation, knowing we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away!
Ella did a wonderful job with my pets. She was incredibly reliable with timely updates and sent great pictures that I loved receiving. It was clear my furbabies felt entirely safe around her - even my shy cat who normally avoids strangers came out and let Ella pet him. I will definitely use her services again.
Maria was a pleasure to work with and have stay at our house to watch our two dogs. She sent pictures daily and the house was left in such good shape that we didn’t need to do a thing when we returned. It was a real relief to have the pups stay in their own home rather than get boarded.
She did a great job taking care of Winston while I was away! He isn’t always the easiest pup to care for, but everything seemed to go really well and he was happy and comfortable when I got home. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean space. Thank you for taking such good care of him!
Kaitlin was wonderful with my high-needs rescue doe, Joannie. First, she communicated quickly and clearly. As I made (unfortunately) last minute changes, Kaitlin was understanding and flexible. When I returned home from my day away, my dog was calm and clearly at ease; Kaitlin's the first outside-of-family dog sitter I've used, and it was a huge relief to find her.

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 Lacey 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 Lacey 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
