“Zach is an outstanding dog watcher who recently house sat while I was out of town. He is extremely professional, thorough and does an excellent job communicating throughout the stay. Would highly recommend booking with Zach!”
“Johanna was amazing and stepped in to watch my cat last minute. They made sure to send updates and photos and were diligent about care instructions. Oscar loved them too!”
“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!”
“Becky was absolutely amazing! She sent photos of my fur babies everyday. Walked and played with my dog, snuggled and played with my kitties. She had amazing communication and went above and beyond. My animals were so happy.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Halle is the BEST dog sitter we have ever had! She kept us updated and even sent some cute pictures. It can be hard to find someone trustworthy to take care of your home and fur babies. Halle is reliable, responsible, kind and a great person. She loves animals and knows how to handle difficult situations like pet injuries. Our pets love Halle!!”
“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!”
“Melissa is a PHENOMENAL Rover. Above and beyond. We've probably used 8-9 rovers across 3 states over the past 6 years and she is one of the best. Took the girls on extra long exercise down to their favorite beach and cleaned them off afterwards, took our trash out to the curb even when I forgot to ask, kept everything clean and checked in regularly. Even started wash with guest room sheets before she left. Most importantly, Happy happy dogs. Pictures of Tova (our more aloof pup) snuggling Melissa Day 1 spoke volumes. Will absolutely book with her whenever we can. 10/10”

“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. 🐾💕”
“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!”
“I'm selfish and want Brett as my personal pet/house sitter, so I really don't want to give 5 stars and a raving review...but that just wouldn't be fair. Brett is utterly fantastic with our animals...he's also attentive, communicative, friendly, funny, and all the things you want when you leave your pet family and home behind for 5 days.”
“Anita is a wonderful pet sitter. We booked on short notice and she was super flexible and communicative. She gave our pets meds and sent me updates through the weekend. We highly recommend and would love to have her again.”
“Awesome dog and house sitter experience! Communication was top-notch from the get-go, and they did an amazing job looking after our dogs and home. The photo and video updates were awesome! We've already booked them for our next trip. Definitely recommend them for reliable and thoughtful sitting services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olympia
Highly Recommend! Our plans fell through last minute and we contacted Heather at midnight the night before we needed her and she responded instantly and was willing to come and take care of our 7 month old poodle. Our dog was a little sick but Heather made sure she got all the right foods and cleaned up any accidents she had for the 2 days that we hired her for. She also sent us plenty of pictures of our dog while we were away, which we appreciated.
This is the second time I’ve used Johanna and again can’t be happier. My dog is still young and is super active. Johanna matched the energy with walks, puzzle work and throwing her ball. She informed me that my dogs eye was getting a little goopy, sent pictures, and told me how she was keeping it clean. I decided it couldn’t wait and Johanna took her to my vet and stayed in constant touch. She even FaceTimed me when the vet was doing the exam. My girl required eye drop medication and Johanna administered them with no problems. Johanna kept me well informed on Harper’s activities and behaviors and respected my wishes when it came to her feeding and care. The compassion and love she gave my dog meant everything to me. I can’t recommend her enough.
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!
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!
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.
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Olympia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olympia on Rover is $45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,548 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.
