“My 11 month old pup is super active and Johanna went above and beyond ensuring she was engaged in play and got plenty of exercise. She kept me informed on everything they did each day and sent lots of pictures. She was safety conscious knowing the Harper J is a bit mischievous. Really flexible and went out of her way to make sure Harper J was comfortable and taken care of. Johanna definitely alleviated any fears I had leaving Harper J to be cared for. I would and will use her again for and housesitting needs in the future.”
“Absolutely the best. We are crazy protective pet parents and we felt completely comfortable with Becky. She sent lots of photos and videos. She took our dogs for lots of walks. We think that really helps with their stress levels. Both our dogs acted like they missed Becky when she went home. That is exactly what you want from a dog sitter. She took great care of our house as well. Will definitely use her again. We feel like Becky is part of our family now.”
“As always Robin leaves me the best happiest puppy in the world and the kitties are actually happy too when I come home from a trip we greatly appreciate Robin being there for us and our fur babies she’s one of the best I’ve ever had”
“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”
“Chloe watched my pups again for us! She left the house cleaner then when she came. The pups were happy. She played with them, cuddled them, and took them for walks! Will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter! Thank you for everything Chloe!”
“I booked Halle super last minute for an overnight, my dog was very happy and relaxed when we came back home and everything was clean as we left it. She even left a little drawing of him on our fridge. Thank you Halle!”
“Brogan stayed with my two dogs for five days as a house sitter. Brogan was great: he sent photos, my girls liked him and he left the house so neat, I had to ask which room he used. I would use him again.”
“Thank you for caring for our five animals Zach! I know that can be a handful so I appreciate you taking on the job. It’s obvious that you care for animals and I’m grateful that you are offering your time to families who need a family member fill-in”
“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!”
“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!”
“Diane was wonderful! Desto loved her immediately and had so much fun with Diane while I was gone. She provided plenty of photos and updates which was great to see. I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to care for their pets. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“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. 🐾💕”
“Daisy was great and we would recommend her to anyone. She was our first pet/house sitter ever and she made our experience great. We came home and the house looked just like we left. She was great at sending pictures and video updates while we were away as well. Responsive, friendly, good w/ animals. Would absolutely book again.”
“This was a long trip with an old and finicky dog so really it was some serious work for our first time using both Bryan and Rover after losing our long time sitter. But we came home and Bingley was well and safe! We did receive regular communication from Bryan and could see that Bingley was adjusting and getting comfortable with his new friend.”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my high energy cattle dog. My dog also has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for longer than 3 hrs at a time, it was great she was able to stay with him at my house the entire sit so he wouldn’t get lonely. She had Great communication and sent me pictures. I would book her house sitting service again!”
“Tananda did a great job watching our dog and chickens while we were away. She was communicative and left me feeling that things were in good hands. I recommend Tananda and would hire her again!”
“This is the second time Summer has house and kitty sat for us and again we are very happy with her service. Summer understands cats and is responsible and competent with no fuss. I was able to relax when traveling, knowing that our kitty is being cared for and that Summer will communicate if any questions or issues arise.”
“Cattleya was wonderful with our huskies and did us a huge favor filling in for our regular sitter last minute. We felt very comfortable with her caring for our home and our pups for the weekend. We will definitely be booking with her in the future 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olympia
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!
I highly recommend Heather. She is responsible, kind and caring to animals and humans. This is the first time I have left town and felt really comfortable trusting Charlie would have the care I needed for him. Heather leaves your home just at you left it if not better! 💙
Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful we are to have found Kylie. This was my first time in over six years leaving my kitties with someone who wasn’t family, and I was very anxious, but Kylie made the entire experience so easy. It was the first time I’ve ever left my kitties at home without being worried out of my mind the entire time. Additionally, two of them have severe asthma, and Kylie was an absolute champ about giving them their inhalers daily and taking care of all the little tasks I had asked of her in regard to their special needs. Also, my home was cleaner than how I left it, which was lovely. I will absolutely be reaching out and rebooking with her the next time we need to go out of town!
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.
Sarah was a great sitter for my high energy cattle dog. My dog also has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for longer than 3 hrs at a time, it was great she was able to stay with him at my house the entire sit so he wouldn’t get lonely. She had Great communication and sent me pictures. I would book her house sitting service again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olympia on Rover is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $76 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 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 .
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.
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.
