I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog rather than a sick and clingy dog when left at a kennel. I received pics every day so I knew he was doing great. A great relief to me when I have to travel.

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

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.

About: I am a phlebotomist and medical lab assistant currently looking for work. I recently moved to Washington and love it here. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I have one cat named Binx. I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. I’ve taken them on walks, given them baths, helped with their training, play with them, clean up their litter boxes, brush them, given them medicine, and even gone to the park. I feel like I am the best choice because I respect and love animals. I always make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I do accept both cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against any breed or size. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will care for for each animal as if they are my own. I am looking forward to meeting new friends. I am currently looking for work since I moved here and I am pretty open . I am available from the mornings until 3pm or 4pm depending on my schedule. If you have any questions please reach out. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I will make sure they are fed and have water, give them space when they need it, play with them, walk them, give them company, pet them, bath them if needed, etc. I understand each animal has their own unique personalities and require different needs. I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs and absolutely adore them, I've pet sat for friends and family many times over the years and very rarely have I met a pet that I didn't get along with Pet care fits very well into my routine as as good portion of my routine involves my two cats, feeding them making sure they've got food and water, making sure they've got a clean litter box and get lots of loves and play time I follow routines set by the pet parents and ensure that their fur babies get plenty of much deserved pets, scratchies, and playtime and maybe a treat or two if it's ok with the owners

About: I have owned dogs since childhood and raised both of my parents current puppies as well as I just raised my now 1 year harrier puppy! I love interacting animals and have a lot of experience with helping train, feed and care for dogs. I have experience both dog sitting and dog walking so I know how to handle the needs of a variety of pets. My love for animals and dogs is what will make me a great dog sitter for your animal! ⭐️ 18 five star ratings on WAG During the summer, I am completely available from early morning to late afternoon to help care for your pet. I do work in the evenings, but my schedule for work is flexible and your pup will only ever be left alone for a few hours at most if needed! I will ensure dogs are well watched and cared for when dog sitting in your homes. I am sure to follow clients directions precisely and am very communicative with updates. I will ensure areas are kept safe and your home is also well-kept for your return!

Parkre’s gone above and beyond our expectations set towards taking care of our girl Kamea! From the initial impression to every update along our time away she exudes enthusiasm and the right kind of.. just good, overall energy. ❤️ There was a little skepticism towards the intimacy of this platform at first, but let this bright individual be a prime example of how to leave things in the hands of those who treat other’s fur babies like their own family. Thanks for everything girl, definitely looking forward to next time!

About: Hello my name is Jaegan!!! Since I was a child, I've always had an affliction to dogs. I enjoy playing, walking, and listening to what makes dogs tick. For Some reason, I bond easily with them. They are like my babies! When they want to cuddle "I cuddle." when they speak:I try to figure out what they need. They become the center of my attention when I' m around them! I ask that you trust me when they are under my care and I will reassure you that I will keep you informed of any changes I notice when they are under my care. Shared communication about the Health of your baby is extremely important to me. Simply give me a chance to build a relationship with You so you are secure with who you left your baby with!!! 🐶👍🏼

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. My partner and I work opposite schedules, so there is typically someone home with your pet throughout the day. We work together to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Spanaway on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,610 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Spanaway. 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 Spanaway 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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spanaway. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.

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.
