About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I worked part time as a vet tech at an animal rescue/hospital in my hometown and I am a former foster for Old Dog Haven. I was lucky enough to visit Villalobos, the famous pit bull rescue in New Orleans. I love all animals and would be honored for the opportunity to take care of your pets while you’re away. I work from home 2 days a week and my office is 5 minutes from home. My schedule is flexible so I am able to take time out for potty breaks, feedings, etc. Weekend boarding is available with some exceptions for weekday boarding and/or doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. I have an extra large kennel for those pups who are used to being kenneled at night. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I have 2 border collie/aussies who are tons of fun and a very sweet 4 year old cat living in my home now. I would love to keep your dog safe, warm and well cared for while you’re away!
“I admit I had separation anxiety leaving my two elder cats due to all the extra attention they received during the pandemic! This was my first trip since end of 2019 and Susan (at the last minute) came to my rescue after a relative had to cancel pet sitting. Susan came on time twice a day, sent pictures daily, and kitties looked happy upon my return. Thank you so much for your time and care. Much appreciated!!”
“Mariko was very communicative from the moment I booked, answering and asking questions to get to know more about my cat before our booking even began. She sent lots of daily updates with pictures and videos and took great care of our Brie. We will definitely use her again when we go on vacation. ☺️”
“Madison was so good with our pets. She clearly cared about them and was so good with them while we were away. We had no concerns regarding her care for them, and she was very responsive to questions. We will definitely be scheduling her for our future trips!”
“Jacklyn takes such good care of our kitties! She is so meticulous with their care, and I feel so comfortable with her in our home when we are away. I will continue to use her to care for our animals in the future!”

About: I've been caring for cats my entire life and have extensive experience meeting their unique needs and personalities. I also have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've provided pet sitting for family and friends, helping with feeding, playtime, and daily care. I understand how important pets are to their families and strive to provide loving, reliable care so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. care of cats since I was very young. I currently work full-time Sunday through Thursday so on those days I would stop by in the late afternoon and early evenings. I am more flexible on Fridays and Saturdays. While I'd love to welcome every pet into my home, I have multiple pets of my own and cannot accommodate additional animals in my rental home. But while I'm visiting your own, your pet's routine is important to me. While caring for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely and ensure all daily tasks are completed, from feeding and walks to litter box cleaning, playtime, and picking up toys.
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
“Glad to have a rover like Rose. She sent pictures and updates daily on how each drop in visit with my cats went and also emptied the litter boxes and litter robot. I will definitely book her service again.”
“My cat Charlee was content and happy when I arrived home after a 5 day vacation. Anna's daily visits made all the difference in keeping my cat feeling safe, secure & loved.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, and cats since I was 11. I've mostly pet sat for family and friends so far, and hope to get the opportunity to meet your pet(s) soon too! I will respect your pet's boundaries, they'll get to choose how much or how little they want to interact with me. I can medicate pets, and do so daily with one of my own cats. I currently live with an elderly mini Aussie, and can adjust activity levels as needed for older pets. I'm currently looking for a job related to plants. I have plenty of free time to give your pet(s) whatever care they may need while looking after them. I will do anything your pet may need, including but not limited to crating, medicating, and walks. As long as you can provide me clear instructions, I'll get it done!

“She did a great job checking in on my two kittens while I was out of town. As I requested, she spent the majority of the visits playing with them and engaging them. I had her come twice a day to check on them and feed them.”
“Brooklyn was a great dog sitter while we were gone. She was dependable and I could tell our dogs were loved and well cared for when we returned.

I always received a Rover Card with pictures of the dogs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Puyallup
Natalie was amazing! My cat is shy around new people, but she was so friendly and patient with him while he warmed up. She’s now one of his favorite people! She took great care of my kitty and sent plenty of updates, including photos. I missed my boy, but felt much more at ease knowing Natalie was checking on him. I’d love to have her watch him again in the future! 💕🐈⬛
Susan did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. We came home to clean food, water, and litter spaces and two happy kitties; it was obvious from the pictures that she spent quality time playing with them and petting them. Susan went above and beyond to make sure the cats were well-cared for in our absence.
Nikki was great with our kitties. Even the most shy kitties came out for her! She was also able to give our most stubborn kitty his medicine. It was such a relief knowing our kitties were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to come back.
My shy cats love Rhonda! She respects their space and lets them come out to interact and play when they're ready. Rhonda has watched our boys twice now and she's earned their trust quickly. My senior cat who hides from new people waits for Rhonda at the top of the stairs when he hears her come in!
I greatly appreciate Cristina and the drop in visits she provides for my puppy. She gives my frenchie the mid day break she needs from her crate and provides her time for a potty break while also making sure she has time for her to play and of course time for cuddles. I highly recommend.
Madison continues to be extremely good with care of our animals. Our geriatric dog requires medicine daily and has a specific routine of needing to potty after meals. Madison was able to accommodate this and help prevent accidents. My cat requires medicine twice daily as well. They both love her and she has been reliably available when we need her.
This was our third time booking Ariana for drop-in visits, and she continues to be amazing! Nickle and Dax are always so comfortable with her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and reliable hands. She’s communicative, dependable, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely keep booking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Puyallup is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 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 November 2026, there are 11,078 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Puyallup. 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 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
