“This was our first booking with Rover and Erica was great! Explained the process really clearly and impressively built some rapport with our dogs who tend to be pretty wary of strangers. Was also great at communicating throughout, definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Kacie was phenomenal at taking care of our pups and they LOVED her! She came through last minute ahead of the holiday weekend. She not only walked the pups, she played with them out back, even picked up the poop in the yard that we hadn’t gotten to 🫣 she gave them so much love we had no worries they were well taken care of. Kacie was the best!!”
“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: I love all kinds of dogs and cats. I have a cat at home but no dog. I grew up with dogs and I hope to get one soon! I'm very easy going and will take care of your pet like they're my own. I'll take care of your pet like they're my own. I love being outside and would love to take a dog on my walks after work. I am very easy going and flexible and will work with your schedule. My apartment is small so I can take care of small and medium sized dogs in my apartment but I can come and take care of larger dogs at your residence. I am available via phone all day so you are able to reach me at any time.
“Qing is very organized, easy to communicate with and impressed me with her exceptional skills handled my senior cat’s medication schedule very well! Qing follows all of my instructions precisely, monitored for changes, and kept me updated with long detailed notes and lots of photos. My cat can be anxious around new people but Qing never disappoints as she handled introductions slowly and respectfully. Her behavior expertise made all the difference and I felt completely at ease! I would always highly recommend her!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even a parrot—so caring for them is basically part of my DNA. I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer because working with animals isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely what I love. I volunteer with a local shelter where I walk dogs, help ease kennel stress, and run playgroups for pups of all personalities. This year I even spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece, which gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments and behavior quirks. I’m well-versed in positive reinforcement training and behavior modification, and I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid—so your pet is in safe, capable hands. Whether your dog is shy, silly, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here for it. Also I go by my middle name, Chasse. Pronounced chase. But Donald is fine too I'm currently finishing school to be a dog trainer and I only work on call. I also have conferences and school stuff that occasionally take me out of state, which will be reflected on my calendar. I do playgroups at the shelter 3pm on every Thursday. Outside of that, I'm avaible. I can't board pets in my own home unfortunately. When it comes to boarding in your home, I suppose we can work out the details
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.
“I am not used to coming home from a trip to being ignored by my cats. They must have been appropriately loved and cuddled while I was gone. Vita took so much stress off of my trip - pictures, videos and updates were helpful. I won’t hesitate to use her again and to feel good about it.”
“Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. She was great with our elderly cat (Stan loved her!), gave through updates and was patient with us as we can be worrisome pet parents when it comes to our old man Stan. Already hoping to work with Lauren for our future needs.”
“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!”
“Chandra provided excellent services to our pets and our families needs . She went above and beyond and we are so very grateful, excellent communication and care . We highly recommend Chandra , thank you , thank you ,thank you”
“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.”
“She was able to help me out on short notice when my other plans fell through and was easy to work and communicate with. Also sent me cute pics of my cat :)”
“Samantha did a great job dropping in on our two cats. I was able to enjoy my trip so much better knowing the cats were in good hands. She sent tons of photos every day and spent quality time playing with them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Olympia
Deidre was so great with our three dogs! She was punctual and attentive to each of their individual and varying needs, from our high energy young pup to our older velcro dog. Our youngest pup had also recently had surgery, and Deidre was careful and considerate of her recovery needs as well. It was so nice to see her photos and updates afterwards of how much our girls enjoyed the drop in visit!
Anita was so great with our three dogs! She was punctual and attentive to each of their individual and varying needs, from our high energy young pup to our older velcro dog. Our youngest pup had also recently had surgery, and Anita was careful and considerate of her recovery needs as well. It was so nice to see her photos and updates afterwards of how much our girls enjoyed the drop in visit!
Meeshe couldn’t be more excited for her visit and hang sesh and for that we are so thankful! The pictures and summary keep us informed and connected to our girl, even from afar! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Meeshe and making sure to include all the Velcro cuddle time she loves so much.
My dog Luna absolutely loves her! ❤️ Ana took such great care of Luna and made me feel completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. She was caring, responsible, and kept me updated throughout her stay. I’m so grateful for all the love and attention she gave Luna. We will definitely book with her again! 🐶💕
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!

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 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.

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 .
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.

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.
