I have never used Rover before and Ashleigh completely sold me. She was amazing with my cats and loved them like they were her own. I got updated every visit and also got amazing photos. Totally took the stress out of leaving my cats at home!

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.

About: Ive taken care of animals of all kinds, from domestic to farm animals since I was very young. Ive loved with small dogs and cats most of my life, but absolutely adore your big dogs! I look forward to helping you. Im currently unemployed, and will be going back to school full time this September. I have absolutely nothing but ample time to dedicate to taking care of the animals in my house. I currently live with three cats and love to assist in cleaning their boxes, making sure e erodes fed properly, and playtime. Even pet needs something different. That being said, it's very easy to address any pets needs. Some pets need special food, some need to put on a jacket when they go outside, some need to be separate from any and all other animals. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide.

About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.

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.

About: I have had many dogs and taken of care many. All sizes and types. I absolutely love animals and take great care of them. I can follow any instructions you may have. They will be loved as if they were my own. We will have plenty activities to do and if they're not to active of a dog then they're more than welcome to just sit and watch tv with me! Dogs aren't just pets, they're family. For dog walking/house sitting I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time and let them explore (supervised) and play! We have an acre of backyard(fenced) for them to run and play! I only work nights and my husband stays home with our 2 year old so someone is always home to give the dogs attention! In the morning after breakfast we usually play in the back yard for a while, and then my dogs like to relax inside after before I go to work. Then they usually wander outside with my husband and two year old walking the yard and playing ball. I have a fenced yard, and very friendly dogs with tons of energy to play! In my clients home I’m very respectful and clean. I’ll always treat your pups as if they’re my own.

About: I began working professionally with dogs around eighteen and I never looked back. I started in Doggy Daycares, then worked my way into the vet field, and I learned so many amazing things along the way. Now I work full-time through Rover, where I can apply the skills I’ve learned to ensure your fur baby has the most comfortable stay possible. I have a fenced yard and three other dogs to keep your baby company while they are away from home. I try to work with your dogs schedule so the transition from home is as smooth as possible. The dogs are let out ever 1-2 hours and we often spend some time to play outside, especially if it’s hot and we can get the pool out ! Every pet is treated like my own. My home is set up with not just my own pets safety in mind, but for every pet that visits. They are welcome on the couch, bed, or wherever makes them comfortable ! I have ramps so that they don’t have to jump, multiple water bowls that I change frequently throughout the house, and a yard that I love to spend time with the fur babies in !

About: I provide personalized, one to one care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have a background in puppy care, including basic training reinforcement, potty training support, crate training, and helping maintain consistent routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who may need extra patience, slower paced activities, or additional attention. 5+yrs both dogs and cats, My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience while keeping pet parents updated with daily photos and messages for complete peace of mind Pet care is my full time career, so my days are built around the animals in my care. Outside of Rover, I own and operate my own pet care business, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and attentive, personalized care. Because I only accept one boarding family at a time, I have plenty of time to give each pet the love, attention, exercise, and supervision they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide personalized, one to one care and never overbook, so every pet receives the attention they deserve. In my home, I welcome only one boarding family at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment with a large, fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks. In your home, I respect your space by following your instructions, maintaining your pet’s routine, and leaving everything clean and tidy. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care needs. You’ll also receive daily updates with photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Pretty much had a cat or a dog my entire life, have also been in charge of naming them as long as I can remember. Love taking walks so to be able to do it with a furry friend is just a huge plus. I work part time about 15 hours a week, so I have a decent amount of free time in my schedule! Would love to spend some of it helping some people out with their awesome animals. I have had only indoor cats recently so they just get totally spoiled with all the toys and treats and beds. I’m very good with just about any kind of dog/cat I’ve ever interacted with.

We’ve been trusting Tia with our dogs since 2023, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. From day one, she’s treated them like her own, and our dogs make it very clear how they feel about her. The moment she walks through the door, their tails are going a mile a minute. That says everything. What Tia gives us is something truly hard to find: complete peace of mind. Knowing our dogs are safe, happy, and in loving hands means we can actually relax and enjoy our time away, something that wasn’t always easy before we found her. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your furry family members, look no further. Tia is the real deal, and we’re so grateful to have her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Spanaway on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,642 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.
