“I am very pleased to see the pictures that Robin has posted have a gray tabby that is petrified of strangers in the house and after a year plus of Robin being our person . she is now coming out freely in the house and relaxing while Robin is here when we are gone she’s a phenomenal person that I recommend her to anyone”
“Hello Fellow Roverenes! Good news is Diane is wonderful, now a great friend of Chidi and Ellie, and went above and beyond the call of duty when Chidi lacerated his left front ankle pad and needed stitches. Bandaged the leg, got Chidi and Ellie in the car, got them to the pet hospital and settled in, stayed with them to make sure everything was good until I arrived. Thank you Diane!”
“Johanna was so attentive to my anxious little guy, taking the extra time and care to experiment with different ways to coax him to eat his less preferred soft foods after his oral surgery. She kept everything clean and tidy for me, was responsive and even proactive, and provided detailed updates twice a day as I requested. She even left a thoughtful hand written note for us when I got home about her stay, it was really special and I feel lucky to have found her on here. Big thank you Johanna, and highly recommend!”
“Madison took great care of our houseful of pets! Our two dogs love her and she gave one of our cats meds twice a day. Communication was good and she took the extra time to come by before she pet sat to get updates and review all the pet routines. Highly recommend!”
“Brougan did a great job taking care of our home and our pets while we were gone for a week. He checked in, sent pictures. The pets seemed to really like him. We would definitely ask him to sit for us again.”

Not only did he take wonderful care of our pets, he worked with our dog on extra training and frequently took her on walks- all while giving us daily updates! We will definitely look to use his care in the future!”
“Jerra was on time! My babies loved her. She went above and beyond and took them outside to play. She is kind and personable and truly loves animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“She took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She kept us updated, followed instructions, and made sure the pups were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and everything in great shape. Thank you, for helping make our trip much less stressful! Most importantly, she was very sweet to our babies, and that means the world to us. 🐾💕”

Kylie did a wonderful job house-sitting and caring for our two cats and puppy! She was kind, reliable, and communicative, and she took excellent care of our animals and home. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Becky was great. She was very responsive to my “worried mom” texts, especially since this was our first time using Rover and our dog has special needs. She took him for lots of walks. She sent lots of pictures and even made a magnet that she left on our fridge with his name on it. When we got home, Rocky’s mood was much better than when we board him at the kennel, which made him happy. We would definitely have her watch our baby boy again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter! For 8 days Heather gave Gracie so much love, attention, and care that we felt completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that Gracie wasn’t just being watched, she was genuinely cared for like one of the family. We loved receiving updates and could tell Gracie was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing she was in such caring hands made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Heather again. Highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with kindness, patience, and lots of love. Also, when we got home, Gracie was running back and forth between all of us, giving hugs and kisses, but I swear Gracie spent more time showering Heather with love! 😂 That alone says everything about how loved and comfortable she felt in her care.
Bee was amazing!! She helped us out in a pinch and was able to accommodate a last minute change. Cooper got on great with her and was sad to see her go. She was quick to response and sent updates thoughout her stay. Bee went above and beyond, and the house was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend her, and we look forward to her taking care of Cooper again!
Aaliyah was wonderful with our pups. Our older dog had unexpected separation anxiety which resulted in some destruction and accidents in the house and Aaliyah notified us right away and was so gracious about it all. She cleaned everything up and did laundry. Above and beyond. She gave the girls tons of love. Would absolutely trust her to watch the girls again
Iris did a terrific job looking after our dog, Rufus. He’s not the easiest dog to care for given that he’s high anxiety and reactive, so we’re always a bit nervous when booking a new sitter but she was great! Stayed in our home and everything looked perfect upon our return. Followed all instructions; communicated quickly with check-ins; and was delightful all around. Would book again and highly recommend to anyone needing a pet or house sitter.
Gloria was absolutely amazing! Our babies were so well taken care of while we were away. She made sure they were fed, kept us updated throughout our trip, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. It’s obvious that Gloria genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable to care for your pets, I wholeheartedly recommend Gloria. We will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olympia on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,569 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olympia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Olympia 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 Olympia 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olympia. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
