“Ari goes above and beyond to care for our dogs and cat. You can tell they all love him too! This time he also learned to give our older dog insulin and kept him safe and healthy while we were gone, cleaned up after our young pup ate the Christmas tree ornaments and kept the muddy dog footprints at bay too. It was so nice to come home to a happy furry family and a house that wasn’t a wreck! I definitely recommend Ari as a very dependable and caring Petsitter!”
“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 had dogs my entire life and adopted my own 11 years ago. I've cared for both cats and dogs of family members and friends. During Covid we adopted a rescue puppy and I was the primary responsibility for her training and care. I work from home most days of the week, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet! My schedule is most flexible Friday-Monday making it perfect for a long weekend. As a dog owner myself, your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have crate-trained dogs and am comfortable adjusting my care approach to the pet.
“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”
“Yvonne was great with taking care of our dog when we needed someone for a last minute trip. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet, was very kind, and was always quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. I would definitely recommend her and will rebook with her in the future!”
“Hannah has been great. We've had her drop in on our dog several times when our work schedules make for a long day at home for our dog. Hannah is always quick to respond and has been a great help.”
“So grateful for Emma! She was super responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking when my normal pet sitter fell through. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and anticipated my dog’s needs while I was traveling by asking if I needed her to come earlier or later than planned based on when my flight was scheduled. My house looks exactly as I left it. Thank you for your help with Miso, Emma!! Will definitely be working with her in the future.”
“Lauren was so attentive and informative when she would drop in to tend to our dogs when I was out of town for 2 days! The updates were thorough and she and the dogs seems to get a long just fine! I will definitely reach out to her again to watch my dogs anytime!”
“Highly recommend! Chloe has been fantastic with my dog and truly cares for her. She is quick to respond and keeps me updated with photos and messages. I have an unpredictable schedule, but she’s always been incredibly flexible and accommodating!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even a parrot—so caring for them is basically part of my DNA. I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer because working with animals isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely what I love. I volunteer with a local shelter where I walk dogs, help ease kennel stress, and run playgroups for pups of all personalities. This year I even spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece, which gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments and behavior quirks. I’m well-versed in positive reinforcement training and behavior modification, and I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid—so your pet is in safe, capable hands. Whether your dog is shy, silly, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here for it. Also I go by my middle name, Chasse. Pronounced chase. But Donald is fine too I'm currently finishing school to be a dog trainer and I only work on call. I also have conferences and school stuff that occasionally take me out of state, which will be reflected on my calendar. I do playgroups at the shelter 3pm on every Thursday. Outside of that, I'm avaible. I can't board pets in my own home unfortunately. When it comes to boarding in your home, I suppose we can work out the details
“Ashley was a great sitter for the two cats. I appreciated the updates and lots of cute photos. She fed them per our specific instructions and kept their litter boxes and water bowls clean and fresh. Thank you for taking care of our little guys!”
“Matthew did weekly drop-ins for our Murphy while we were on vacation and our house sitter was at work. We wanted to make sure he had some mid-day time to stretch, play, have a bathroom break, etc. Matthew was a great communicator and treated Murphy great! It was so reassuring to know he was taking such good care of our pup.”
“Hallie was amazing with all of our animals and she took care of then with love and care. One of our fur babies is the most anxious pup and she was able to get her to open up to her! Will definitely keep her in our contacts for the next time we need someone to watch our fur babies!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and after 7 years of dog-sitting and pet care, I’ve learned that every dog is different. They all have their own personalities, routines, and little quirks, and I absolutely love getting to know them. 🩵 I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely care about making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. My experience includes everything from everyday pet sitting and companionship to caring for large, strong, high-energy, and less-trained dogs. I’ve also had the opportunity to shadow an experienced professional dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience working with energetic dogs who need a little more patience, structure, and attention on walks. Something that’s especially important to me is that your pet is actually happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I don’t want to just make sure they’re fed, walked, and taken care of physically—I want them to feel like they’re having a good day. Whether that means playing, getting some extra attention, going on a good walk, getting plenty of cuddles, or simply giving them space to relax, I try to pay attention to what each individual dog enjoys and needs. I know it can be difficult to leave your pets with someone else, so I take that trust seriously. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable with me and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pup and get to know them! Rover is my full time job so other than other walks or meet and greets I may have to attend, I have a very open schedule and lots of time to devote to your pet and shouldn’t ever need to be gone for more than a couple hours if needed for your animals specific needs. :) I will make sure your pet doesn't get into anything they shouldn't. I'll respect yours, and your pets, home - cleaning up any and all messes created by your pet, and leaving no trace of my visit (other than a happy pet). I'll ensure I know about their habits and favorite toys before I work for you.
About: I love all kinds of dogs and cats. I have a cat at home but no dog. I grew up with dogs and I hope to get one soon! I'm very easy going and will take care of your pet like they're my own. I'll take care of your pet like they're my own. I love being outside and would love to take a dog on my walks after work. I am very easy going and flexible and will work with your schedule. My apartment is small so I can take care of small and medium sized dogs in my apartment but I can come and take care of larger dogs at your residence. I am available via phone all day so you are able to reach me at any time.
“Chandra provided excellent services to our pets and our families needs . She went above and beyond and we are so very grateful, excellent communication and care . We highly recommend Chandra , thank you , thank you ,thank you”
“Nikki cared for our babies like they’re her own. Super communicative and conscientious, I would recommend her a million times over. I’ve never seen my cats so comfortable while we were away.”
“Lauren and Dalton came to hang out with my pup while I was away at work! They were very responsive any time I messaged them and followed feeding/crate instructions perfectly. I hope to have them back again sometime soon! :)”
“Caelyn is excellent! She communicates quickly and takes great care of our dogs. We were so thrilled at some of the enrichment she provided them (and the pictures she took) while we were gone. They love her!”

I would unhesitatingly recommend Desiree to anyone looking for a caregiver for a cat or dog. She provided exceptional care for my cat, Zuzu, including taking the time to engage in daily playtime with her. Most importantly, upon my return from vacation Zuzu was as healthy and happy as could be. She barely missed me.
So grateful for Emma! She was super responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking when my normal pet sitter fell through. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and anticipated my dog’s needs while I was traveling by asking if I needed her to come earlier or later than planned based on when my flight was scheduled. My house looks exactly as I left it. Thank you for your help with Miso, Emma!! Will definitely be working with her in the future.
My kitties are my family and Heather treated them as much. There was a storm while I was states away and she was only tasked with coming by once a day but she made an extra trip to make sure my cats were safe, not scared and to check on my house. She did this freely and gave me an update. I dont think I worried once the whole week I was away! She plaid and staid longer than she needed too. I received detailed messages after each visit with lots of photos. She was very respectful of my home and she is irreplaceable. Heather is more than a sitter she is our fur-friend! Highly recommend her!
Jerrie's is a true kind-hearted animal lover and my cat Cocoas new friend! She took care of Cocoa when I had to go to a memorial on short notice and although I asked just for basic food and litter duties she went above & beyond to take the time to be sootging and friendly to Cocoa. The pictures she took of cocoa coming out of hiding are so cute and I needed some more photos.
Deidre was so great with our three dogs! She was punctual and attentive to each of their individual and varying needs, from our high energy young pup to our older velcro dog. Our youngest pup had also recently had surgery, and Deidre was careful and considerate of her recovery needs as well. It was so nice to see her photos and updates afterwards of how much our girls enjoyed the drop in visit!
Anita was so great with our three dogs! She was punctual and attentive to each of their individual and varying needs, from our high energy young pup to our older velcro dog. Our youngest pup had also recently had surgery, and Anita was careful and considerate of her recovery needs as well. It was so nice to see her photos and updates afterwards of how much our girls enjoyed the drop in visit!
My dog Luna absolutely loves her! ❤️ Ana took such great care of Luna and made me feel completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. She was caring, responsible, and kept me updated throughout her stay. I’m so grateful for all the love and attention she gave Luna. We will definitely book with her again! 🐶💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Olympia is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,412 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Olympia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olympia. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
