“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She took care of our cat while we were out of town and she did the job well and sent photos. We were happy with the service Kaitlyn provided, would highly recommend and we will book again with her in the future.”
“As always thank you so much for the visit!! I appreciate all the communication and photos you continue to provide during visits. My girl is in good hands with you when I am gone! Thank you again ☺️”
“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”
About: Ive always had a dog in my life since i was a baby, and i was given the first dog of my own for my 7th birthday and i took care of that dog like crazy. He was a dog full of personality, including difficult behavior including very particular occasional agressivness which i learned to carefully tune into inorder to keep him and others safe and happy. I also would often watch the pets of family and friends. Im in my fourth year of college, and i miss my dog so much, i am experiencing a terrible lack of dogs in my life. Please let me hang out with and take your dog on a hike or a walk! I have a incredibly open summer, which means im here to walk or take care of your precious animal any time you need, just hit me up! I enjoy listening to what your pet has to say, their personality and their needs. I follow instructions very closely, im able to deal with animals with a wide variety of personality quirks and work with activities taylored just for them.
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Zach is VERY good and attentive with our elderly Sadie. He gets her to eat which we sometimes can't even do. He's great when on a walk paying attention to not pushing her to go to fast or to far. Thanks Zach!”
“Madison took such good care of my geriatric pup. I can tell she is truly an animal lover and Apple took to her immediately. 10/10 recommend, thank you Madison :)”
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
“Ari was the best! Ari looked after our two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. We weren’t sure how the cats were going to react to a pet sitter, and Ari did a great job making sure all their needs were met and more.”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and walking to playtime, basic care, and keeping up with each pet’s normal routine. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own while they’re in my care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule! I’m available in the mornings and on weekends for walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and care while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and will always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates, and routines. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“We love Savannah! She has consistently been amazing for us and my cats. We will continue to reach out to Savannah (with more notice next time!) for our cat sitting needs. Thanks Savannah you rock!”
“Sarah is amazing! Adjusted her schedule JUST before we left in order to accommodate a little bit of an emergency in the car we needed for our cats. Was extremely thorough with her check-ins, and a great communicator. Made being out of town a peaceful experience for us, even with a kitty who was having some health issues.”
“Johanna is always so wonderful! She sends tons of pictures and long, diligent reports on how Oscar is doing, which makes me feel reassured when I need to leave town. She really goes above and beyond every time!”
“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Olympia is $22
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olympia
Madisyn was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time using Rover. We usually boarded our shepherds and had someone look after my old man. We lost one of shepherds suddenly in December so our situation changed. My dogs are my life and my old man is 13 years old and I know I don’t have long left with him. I am very protective over my dogs and knowing I have a senior dog made me so nervous. After I first met Madisyn she put my worries to ease and then continued the whole time we were gone. She went above and beyond what was asked of her. She always communicated and sent pictures. Even though she didn’t know my dogs she treated them like they were her own. It made my heart happy and I am so appreciative and thankful for Madisyn. She was truly a blessing to me and my dogs ❤️❤️❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Olympia on Rover is $21.39 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,457 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Olympia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Olympia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olympia. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
