“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!”
“Becky was great about sending pics of the dogs and her letting them use her for a pillow. She kept us informed and arrived on time, well a little early which was nice. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Becky.”
“Chandra was great! She took amazing care of our pets and the house was very clean when we returned, she washed everything she used. She was super communicative and absolutely went above and beyond for our furry loved ones.”
“Simonne did great watching my dog, June! June is nervous around new people but Simonne was patient and gentle with her. She sent lots of pictures during her stay which I loved. I plan to keep using Simonne!”
“Tamara is excellent! Very easy going, diligent, and considerate. She did so well with my awkward little boy and he warmed up to her overnight (which is fast for him)! Highly recommend her for anyone who has an anxious fur baby like me.”
“I had an outstanding experience with Erika dog sitting for multiple days. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. When I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. Dogs were home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which speaks volumes about the attention, patience, and genuine love Erika provided the pups. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about animals, I can’t recommend her highly enough. I will absolutely be using her services again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“Another fantastic job done by Maggie! Moose and Nina loved having the company while we were out of town and she let us know when the power went out and when it came back on (due to storms). She also sent us a couple of pictures. We appreciate that Maggie is on time, communicative, and reliable.”
“Emrys was awesome with our dog, Wally! He visited with us a couple times in advance of our trip so Wally could get to know them. We got updates with pictures everyday and he even stuck around late on the last night when our flight was delayed. Excellent pet sitter, we would definitely rebook with him!”
About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.
“Appreciated Laurin very much, she sent pics and updates which are great for a nervous mom like me. She left a handwritten note as a thank you and even ran the vacuum before she left, a kind gesture for a weary traveler to arrive home to a clean house.”
“We have had Chloe watch our dogs multiple times and every time she goes above and beyond in her love and care of our pups. She has worked with our young Labrador teaching him new skills and loving on our old golden. She also is an amazing house sitter! Thank you Chloe!”
“Phenomenal communication! We felt at ease knowing our two dogs were being cared for by Kelsey. She kept us updated and stayed at the home with our dogs. She also brought our trash bin in (totally not expected, but such a kind thing to do). Top notch care!”
About: I've had dogs in my house and in my life since I was a child and love them all. I pay especial care to senior dogs and puppies who need an extra watchful eye. I'm a tech professional who works from home part time, so I'm always available to love on your fur babies. There are no children in my home, and my home stays quiet and calm. I have a clean apartment with hard floors. I take detailed notes, offer pictures and updates, and am happy to accommodate schedules. I have a small senior dog, so your dog will have company.
“Alisha is just wonderful! We have a senior dog and another who tends to have separation anxiety. Our dogs loved her and they were very well cared for in our absence. I 100% recommend Alisha!”
About: I’ve had a passion for pups ever since I was young. As a child I wasn’t able to have an animal of my own, so playing with and caring for others animals has been a huge part of my joy in adulthood. I am friendly and flexible, and able to easily adapt and work with families as needed. I believe that all pups should have stimulation, attention, and lots of love! I am fully ready to provide that. My schedule is currently quite flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend bookings and can often work around different routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or a little extra companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help! I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone to care for your pet is a big deal, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets can feel at ease and receive plenty of attention. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want someone to give my own.
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my big Rottweiler and house for a few days. She sent updates and let me know River was a bit nervous at first. She didn’t give up and River came around. I would certainly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting!”

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lacey is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 per night. 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.

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.
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 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 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.

- 95% 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.
