“Erica did a great job taking care of our Zoe while we were away. She came as scheduled 3 times each day and I was extremely pleased with her detailed information with each check-in with Zoe. She sent pictures and videos with each visit. She is a great pet sitter/walker and we could tell how well she took care of Zoe. This was our first time using Rover and we are definitely planning to book with Erica in the future.”
“Chloe stopped by every other day for nearly 3 weeks to care for my 5 ducks and 2 cats. She was communicative and reliable. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home. I hope to book her again!”
“Colin took great care of my dog and two cats while I was gone on vacation for a week. It was so nice knowing the pets were in good hands and seeing their happy faces with the check-in pictures. Would highly recommend Colin for stress-free pet care!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, big and small. I have cared for highly energetic and intelligent dog breeds, including physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of affection! I am a college student at UW Seattle, back home to Olympia for the summer. My schedule is open for pet sitting, including weekdays, weekends, and overnights. Inside a client's home, I can provide services such as feeding, socialization, and litterbox changes for cats. Outside the home, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, and play.
“Zash is amazing!! I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my little guy and for working with me and all my chaos. You have been so adaptable and I appreciate you so much! Thank you!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.
About: Our dogs have been our best friends for 20 years. We give them the treatment they deserve such as tons of pampering, love and care! We are retirees looking to fill our days and as pet lovers we decided we should share that time and love to other furbabies! We had three beautiful Golden Retrievers, all now in doggie heaven ♡ and we currently have an almost 4 year old, playful, male Goldendoodle, an instant playmate to your furbaby! We have a fenced yard and we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to parks and a lake nearby to take them walking! We are mostly home so we have a ton of time with your fur baby. He/she is always welcome during days for parents that work and even overnights. We have a fenced yard that is good size so there is a place to run around along with walks. Your fur baby will always have company and will never be left alone.
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter! She was so communicative and made sure we knew Sunny was good! Even over the holidays, she was on time and put love and care into taking care of our pup! I will definitely book her again!”
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
About: I've had dogs my entire life and adopted my own 11 years ago. I've cared for both cats and dogs of family members and friends. During Covid we adopted a rescue puppy and I was the primary responsibility for her training and care. I work from home most days of the week, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet! My schedule is most flexible Friday-Monday making it perfect for a long weekend. As a dog owner myself, your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have crate-trained dogs and am comfortable adjusting my care approach to the pet.
About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. Please keep this in mind if you have jumpers as well. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.
“Vita did a great job watching our cat, Pistachio while we were gone for two weeks. We got daily updates and videos that we looked forward to getting. Highly recommend Vita with your pets!”
About: I have 15+ years of cat and dog care. As comfortable with big boisterous puppies as with gentle old cats. I can take your energetic dog for a run or be a friendly presence for your sleepy one. Plenty of experience giving pills, eye/ear drops, and insulin I'm flexible most days of the week and can often pop in for a quick check/walk/meal during the day. Many days in remote and my schedule is flexible. I'm a field biologist so some weeks I'll be away a couple days at a time, but my schedule is predictable. I'm happy to care for all of your pets in your home, safety and comfort towards your pets first and foremost. I'm a biologist, so you know I love animals
About: I have grown up with mastiffs and currently own two cane Corso now I have obedience and protection, train them all by myself. We love to go for runs. I have experience in giving medication‘s our youngest Corso (Bronx) was a rescue and had a rotting ear. We had to apply and give him medication 3x a day. I am currently a full-time college student and unemployed. I have plenty of time in my hands to watch, walk, or potty your fur babies! At our house, we have a big fenced backyard. I keep my dogs on a pretty consistent schedule. They are fed twice a day. I have experience with dog breeds from small to medium and kitties too. My schedule is pretty lax and I am flexible to whatever needs may need to be met :)
About: Hello my name is Davis and I recently moved to the PNW! I have been taking care of dogs and cats since a young age, and now that I’m living away from family I’ve been missing my time spent with animals! Big or small, I love pet sitting and walking dogs, giving them the compassion, friendly energy, and patience they deserve! I am very active and would love to bring your dog on a hike or run with me. I am very good at making sure all you and your pets' needs are met, and am easy to work with! I also take great pet photos and will be sure to send you updates while you’re away. I am available during weekends, as well as mornings, afternoons, and nights throughout the week. I can work with you to accommodate a schedule that works best! I am a kind pet sitter/walker who respects your animal's needs, as well as any directions and specifications required to watch your pet in your home. I have pet sat for many years during my life, and know that everyone has unique setups and requirements, so I pay good attention to what is needed to best fit you and your pet! My cat at home is very well loved and taken care of, maybe too loved haha! She complains because we hug her too much, she has a very good life though even with her gripes about hugging. We play with her multiple times a day and she is fed a healthy diet, her litter box is scooped at least once daily!
“Matthew did weekly drop-ins for our Murphy while we were on vacation and our house sitter was at work. We wanted to make sure he had some mid-day time to stretch, play, have a bathroom break, etc. Matthew was a great communicator and treated Murphy great! It was so reassuring to know he was taking such good care of our pup.”
“Naomi is wonderful! She communicates very well and spends a lot of time personalizing her drop in visits to make sure my pup is fully fulfilled while I’m gone. She has a calm demeanor and is so patient with my wild girl! Highly recommend!”
“Hallie was amazing with all of our animals and she took care of then with love and care. One of our fur babies is the most anxious pup and she was able to get her to open up to her! Will definitely keep her in our contacts for the next time we need someone to watch our fur babies!”
About: I've taken care of my own pets and friends pets for years. I pride myself on being a gentle and careful caretaker and would love to give your pets the same love that you give them. I am a big rule follower when it comes to animals and will be persistent with training and ensuring that your animals stay well behaved.

I can specifically help with last minute needs if you’re also in the downtown area! I am not able to bring animals to my home but will follow and respect whatever rules and expectations you have for your pets in your own home.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Olympia is $21
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Olympia
Madisyn was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time using Rover. We usually boarded our shepherds and had someone look after my old man. We lost one of shepherds suddenly in December so our situation changed. My dogs are my life and my old man is 13 years old and I know I don’t have long left with him. I am very protective over my dogs and knowing I have a senior dog made me so nervous. After I first met Madisyn she put my worries to ease and then continued the whole time we were gone. She went above and beyond what was asked of her. She always communicated and sent pictures. Even though she didn’t know my dogs she treated them like they were her own. It made my heart happy and I am so appreciative and thankful for Madisyn. She was truly a blessing to me and my dogs ❤️❤️❤️
Vanessa told fantastic care of our dogs when we were out of the country. She took FANTASTIC photos of them and sent daily updates so we felt very reassured they were in good hands while we were gone! AND our dogs put her through so much drama and she just let it roll off, no big deal! Vanessa is a saint!
Lizzy was an outstanding dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dogs and kept me updated on everything and sent lots of photos! My dogs were super happy to see her highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She even helped with issues involving my fire alarm and stayed for my maintenance people to try and fix it couldn’t have picked a better dog sitter!
Madison was fantastic! She kept us informed during every single drop-in visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and detailed. We always knew our pet was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. We would 100% book with Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Olympia 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.
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 Olympia 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Olympia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
