About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my cats. They warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of them while I was away. The pictures she took during her visits were incredible. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Alexis is always so amazing with Molly! i had a very last minute job to get too and she was willing to come and take care of her and even helped around the house🩷 we will be continuing to book with her! molly ADORES her and molly can be a shy dog and cautious with people but with Alexis she bonded with her quick!”
About: Hi my name is Crystal. I love animals and do my best to give your pets the best care I can provide. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young- since I have always grown up around animals. I want to make sure your pet has a safe, exciting, and enriching experience with me. I have experience providing medicine and caring for injured pets. I am also very active, and love to include my dogs in any capacity I can. If you’re looking for someone who loves dogs and wants to provide the best possible care to your fur ball- you’ve found your girl!! I am currently on summer break from college- so my schedule is free all day every day for your pet!! When I am back in school, I will only have classes on 2-3 days a week, for a certain time, and I still will be able to walk or drop - in on pets in between or after classes!! I will not be accepting pets at my home, as I have a dog who cannot be around other pets. But I am willing and able to drop- in at clients homes , or pick up the dog for a walk, or to the park to expend some energy. If we are in the home, we can play outside in the back, play with toys, or maybe do some enrichment with some puzzles/ other tools.
“Stephanie has been doing walk ins with my Boxer puppy and my Belgian Shepherd for a couple of months now - 3 days a week. She has gone above and beyond to make their experience positive - buying them a special toy to play with while she is there, picking up puppy wipes, bringing treats, quick to respond to me via text, respectful of my home, and being flexible with her schedule. My dogs are thrilled when she arrives and Stephanie has given me peace of mind when I am at work knowing the puppy is getting her time out of the crate that I am otherwise unable to provide her. Stephanie was not my first sitter on Rover, and she was brought in to cover a transition between sitters. I was thrilled to have her continue on once I realized how reliable and thoughtful she is.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Tabitha look after our cherished PussPuss while we were away, and we cannot sing her praises enough! From the very beginning, Tabitha demonstrated an unparalleled dedication and love for our furry family member that truly set our minds at ease. What stood out to us was not just the routine care but the genuine affection and time Tabitha invested. She went above and beyond every single day, ensuring PussPuss was not only fed and clean but also thoroughly entertained. Whether it was through engaging playtime, thoughtful cuddles, or simply talking to PussPuss, it was clear she was committed to making our beloved feel loved and comfortable in our absence. Tabitha’s communication was exemplary. She provided us with frequent updates that were not only informative but also heartwarming. The photos and videos she sent us were a source of joy and reassurance, showing PussPuss happy and content under her care. Furthermore, the video conference she arranged was beyond what we expected; seeing PussPuss respond to Tabitha’s voice and care firsthand was incredibly touching and a testament to the bond they had formed. The cleanliness and tidiness of our home upon our return also spoke volumes of Tabitha’s conscientiousness. It was clear she treated our home with respect, allowing us to come back to a serene and orderly space, with a happy PussPuss waiting for us. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tabitha for not just meeting but far exceeding our expectations. Her love, dedication, and the extra steps she took to ensure both PussPuss and we were happy and informed were truly remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend Tabitha to any pet parent looking for someone who will treat their pet not just as a job but as a member of the family. Thank you, Tabitha, for everything. You have our deepest appreciation and utmost respect for the love and care you provided to PussPuss. We look forward to having you care for PussPuss again in the future!”
About: Hi pet friends! I love to go for walks- play ball with you and scratch your belly! I have two dogs and a cat who love to play with each other! I am currently not working and have a very open schedule. I have transportation to get to your house for fun and interactive play dates with your furry family members. I have a large, fenced yard where our two pups can do all the zoomies they need to do safely. My cat is an indoor family member. She loves to play with a mouse on a string. We feed all three of our animal's high quality and nutritious food and yes, they do get treats- not all day but at least once a day! We all need a treat now and then! Our dogs and cat are our family- we protect their health with regular vet checkups, keep them safe from fireworks, play with them to nurture their curiosity and of course snuggle and love them as much as we can. I also love to camp and we take our two dogs Sammi and Presley and the cat too!! Miss Aurora loves to go on adventures with us! I wouldn't have it any other way!
“Cindy is absolutely amazing with my cat Louie. She goes above and beyond for his drop in visits. He is usually a touch-me-not for most people, but he seems to really enjoy Cindy's company. She spends the visits petting him and just "being there" with him. I believe it gives him great comfort while I am away from home. Thank you Cindy. You rock!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
I was looking for someone to drop in and take care of my pup when his normal day-to-day dog walker was going to be out of town. I was very fortunate to find Katelyn. During the initial meet and greet, my dog Stone was very excited to meet Katelyn. He’s a miniature Bull terrier so he has a lot of energy and doesn’t realize his own strength. She handled him without any issues and gave him lots of “loves”. He can definitely be a handful even on walks given how strong he is, but my neighbors said that Katelyn was great with him, kept him safe, and didn’t let him get away from her lol. She sent me tons of pictures from the backyard where they were all playing together. You can definitely tell she loves animals! I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their furry friends. Stone and I will continue to use her in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Spanaway stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Spanaway 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Spanaway with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
