“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!!”
“I was looking for someone who could give my cat his medicine and keep an eye on him incase he was in need of anything. Jenna was awesome and I can't wait to have her come cat sit again. Thank you Jenna!”
“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. 🐾💕”
“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!”
“Daisy is wonderful and took amazing care pampering my fur babies. They are healthy and happy and probably missing her! Followed their schedule and lovingly interacted with them. Send great pictures and eased my mind. I will use her services again and highly recommend her!”
“So nervous about leaving our little babes for the holidays! Maria was fantastic. She took them on walks & sent photos/updates as requested. We had specific directions for each of the dogs’ feeding times. They were well taken care of! We would definitely book her again, thanks Maria :-)”
“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'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 😂
“Anita is fabulous! She was friendly and open to our schedule. Anita clearly knew what she was doing with our pups! She treated them with so much love and respect! Sent us pictures while we were away. We will definitely continue to have Anita as our sitter! ❤️”
About: I’ve had a passion for pups ever since I was young. As a child I wasn’t able to have an animal of my own, so playing with and caring for others animals has been a huge part of my joy in adulthood. I am friendly and flexible, and able to easily adapt and work with families as needed. I believe that all pups should have stimulation, attention, and lots of love! I am fully ready to provide that. My schedule is currently quite flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend bookings and can often work around different routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or a little extra companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help! I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone to care for your pet is a big deal, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets can feel at ease and receive plenty of attention. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want someone to give my own.
“Simonne did great watching my dog, June! June is nervous around new people but Simonne was patient and gentle with her. She sent lots of pictures during her stay which I loved. I plan to keep using Simonne!”
About: I am a loving and responsible dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs patience, attention, and kindness. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, providing playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am experienced with daily routines such as feeding, potty breaks, grooming, and giving dogs plenty of love and companionship. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. I am patient, reliable, and committed to providing a safe and happy experience for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with pets throughout the week. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or drop-in visits. I like to plan my day around providing reliable and loving care for pets. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime. I am also a dog owner, so I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I provide a safe and calm environment, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I will treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I provide for my own dog.
“Cora was so wonderful with our two boxers and two senior cats during a recent in-house stay while my husband and I were traveling. We needed to find care last minute and Cora was quick to respond to my request. She was incredibly communicative from the jump and didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure our dogs especially kept routine as much as possible and we felt assured that they were in good hands. Even though we left her thorough instructions, she still somehow thought of things that we hadn’t! We appreciated her attention to detail, and the regular company of her partner, Derek, was quite the bonus for our people-loving pups. We were naturally so stressed to need to find an alternative pet sitter mere days before we left, but it feels kismet to have crossed paths with Cora. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”
About: I have had pets of my own for over 30 years. I love all animals and think they all have different and special personalities. Currently, I have one dogs (Pembroke-Welsch Corgi) and one cat (a Maine Coon). I am available for weekday walks, evening care, and petsitting on weekends or longer if scheduled ahead of time. I can either come to your pet, take them to a park, or bring them to my home for socializing with my pets. Whatever you like! I have a fully-fenced yard and one friendly dog that can socialize with your pup(s) if interested. Otherwise, we can make accommodations for crating if that is requested.
“Emma was the best! Left for a 4 day weekend trip and left the keys to the house to her. When I came back, it was like she was never there. House was in great shape, Thor was a happy pup, and she gave me continuous updates. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks, Emma.”

Chloe did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur baby over a weekend away! I felt so comfortable and informed throughout the whole weekend. She sent photo updates throughout the day and I enjoyed seeing all the time she was spending and activities she was doing with our dog. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Anita stayed at my house and took care of my dog and cat for 2 weeks. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful person taking care of my animals. My dog loved Anita immediately but my cat takes a while to warm up. Eventually, Anita won Nova over. She is patient, kind, and gentle. My house was clean when I got home. Couldn’t ask for a better person to hold down the fort while we are out of town. I was able to relax knowing that everything was being taken care of.
Cora was so wonderful with our two boxers and two senior cats during a recent in-house stay while my husband and I were traveling. We needed to find care last minute and Cora was quick to respond to my request. She was incredibly communicative from the jump and didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure our dogs especially kept routine as much as possible and we felt assured that they were in good hands.

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olympia is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,529 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olympia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
