“Our dogs did well with Robin. Given that they were not used to having people in their house they seemed to really like her and accept her as family. She did a great job communicating and our house was well taken care of and clean when we returned. We also really appreciate Robin's thoughtfulness and adaptability given we had to book her fairly close to our departure. Thank you Robin for taking care of our home and our boys!”
“Zach was absolutely amazing. His reports and pics let me know Sadie was definitely happy. It's actually the first time she ate her meals when left with somebody. He was very responsive to her signals. He took great care of our baby girl. I will definitely be calling on him again. 🩷”
“Chloe has been sitting our dogs for years now. She is so good with our dogs. She does so much extra for them and she loves them and they love her! I never have to worry when they are with her. She sends me pics and videos of them and gives me updates. She’s amazing and we will always use her when we can! Thank you Chloe!”
“Madison was a wonderful house sitter for our dog and two cats. Communicating with her is a breeze because she asks good questions and responded quickly to any questions we had. After she came to our place to meet the pets and walk through what a normal day looks like with them, I felt totally comfortable with her staying in our home and watching our pets. I highly recommend her and will ask her to watch our pets again!”
“Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Amazing sitters that really treat your pets as their own! Best experience we’ve ever had with a cat sitter and now feel more confident about leaving our little guy for up to a week.”
“Olivia and Tyler were amazing! Last minute booking for a family emergency and they helped make it stress-free. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog, we will definitely be repeat customers of Olivia and Tyler!”
“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 🤗”
About: I grew up with all sorts of pet friends: frogs, geckos, dogs, and cats. From a year long pet sitting gig to one of my regulars that has geese and ducks! Let me know how I can provide peace of mind to your family while you're away. My work from home position and my Wednesday-Sunday work schedule gives me a unique position that most others cannot provide. I am home bound for work during typical "social days" and love to have pets of all kinds as my coworkers! Everyone's needs are different. I personally have two indoor cats that I would never let out. But, I know others who have an outdoor cat they take on walks. Understanding that each pet has a different personality, routines, and temperament is the key to making sure everyone's needs are met.
About: I've worked at a doggy daycare for a year as an unpaid intern and then Petco for a year and a half. While nannying I also pet sat for more than 2 years. I've worked with puppies, senior dogs, large, and small. Every dog has it's quirks and I enjoy them all. If there is ever a problem I will reach out to you I don't wing it when it comes to your family. I've owned a dog since I was 8 and now two kitties 😻 and a miniature Schnauzer full of mischief 🐕 and a sweet old Rat 🐀 They all deserve love and care, each with their own needs, all of them precious 💕 If your pet needs constant attention or personal space I am capable of providing both. Feeding, walking, and dog parks are all in my wheelhouse. I have a pup of my own that loves the dog park, if your dog is good with little guys then he'll certainly tucker yours out 😂
“Naina house sat for my two dogs and two cats. She was great with communication providing updates and photos each day so I knew everyone was doing great. She also kept up on a complex medication schedule for the dogs. The house was clean and tidy when I got home which relieves a lot of stress with frequent business travel. Thanks Naina - looking forward to having you here again (next stay already booked)!”
“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”
“Erica is accountable, communicative, and full of love for our dog and two bunnies! We have a nervous Chihuahua who doesn’t easily take to new people, but she LOVES when Erica comes to snuggle. We appreciate Erica’s frequent communications and her genuine care for our pets and home.”
About: I have 10+ years of experience taking care of neighbors, family, coworkers, as well as my own pets. I learn each animals routine and try to make them as happy as they can be while their owners are away. I’m experienced with dogs of varying breeds, sizes, energy levels, and ages. I have taken care of dogs that have just been born to dogs that need special medicine and nightly baths to be comfortable. I make sure that pets are safe and happy and will follow any instructions very closely. I can provide updates and pictures to the owners to give peace of mind. I do not have any children or pets of my own so my availability is very open and I can plan my schedule around the pets needs. I can make sure pets have constant care by giving them the right amount of exercise, playtimes, and check ins that they need. While in a clients home I can focus on maintaining the pets routine. I will treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe by following all instructions
“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. House looked great and most of all she is smart, common sensed, trusted and earned my total respect. She is now a part of my family. Thank you Kendall. Pam”

Tananda is such a gem! She was able to accommodate my early-morning dog sitting request, and even took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand. My dogs loved her, and you can tell that she’s a dog lover too! I plan to use Tananda’s services again and am very happy that I found her.
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!
wow, can't say enough great things about robin. she left my apartment better than she found it. she was communicative and flexible. my cat was very calm and happy when i got back. if you are nervous to have a stranger in your home, you can put your mind at ease with robin.
Laura was great with my high energy cattle dog. She communicated well and sent me photo updates. She even took him for a ride in her car to go out walking on some different paths than our own neighborhood! She understood that he has separation anxiety and followed my instructions perfectly for managing that and his meds. Thank you, Laura!
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.
They were amazing with our dogs. We were in a tough spot and needed a sitter really fast and Tyler Olivia made things easy and comfortable! Our pups loved them and they sent us regular updates on our pups. It was great knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using them again in the future!
Our two little terriers love Becky! She has cared for them for a couple of several-night stays. Becky keeps us informed and is responsible and respectful of the house. We can tell that the dogs had lots of exercise and attention. We will definitely ask her to come again!

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.
<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 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 , 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.
